时文阅读之高考英语阅读能力提升限时训练○2七选五You’ll Be Happiest During These Two Years of Your Life, According to Science----Brooke NelsonGood news: your happiest years are still ahead of you. Science says so!Think you have already reached your peak in life? You might want to think again. We want to share some good news with you: 1.________________ .According to research from the London School of Economics and Political Science,2.___________. Researchers asked 23,000 German volunteers aged 17 to 85 to rate their life satisfaction. Participants predicted how happy they would feel in five years, and then, after five years’ time, reported back on how they actually felt. Find out the biggest misconceptions错误的想法about happiness we’ve convinced ours elves are true.Their results? Anything but negative! The study found that happiness tends to follow a U-shaped curve over an individual’s lifetime, with satisfaction reaching higher levels during the extremes of the study’s age range and swinging down with middle age. Plus, the researchers noted the two most important years when happiness peaks: ages 23 and 69.3._______________. In our early 20s, we’re energetic and excited for the changes that come along with young age: new careers, new places to travel, and new people to meet. By the time we reach our 60s and 70s, though, we have likely retired and can now find the time—not to mention the money!—to, say, book a flight to Hawaii at a moment’s notice. Also, check out these surprising tricks to be happier w ithout even trying.4._______________. After all, your 40+ years are a busy time filled with “raising families, climbing the corporate ladder, and you know, life in general,” Brit+Co writes.Of course, that’s all the more reason to create your own happines s, regardless of your age! Experts recommend prioritizing优先考虑small yet rewarding tasks like taking a walk or spending time with family.5.____________: a boost in happiness! Next, find out the 24 things happy people do every day.A. If you think about it, that makes a lot of senseB. Just remember, now you have one more reason to look forward to getting olderC. we’re happiest at two points in our lives—not just oneD. The dip in middle age is also pretty logical.E. So where should we look for happiness?F. Your happiest years are still ahead!G. happiness comes from what you do, not what you buy.阅读理解AA couple in the Philippines went ahead with their wedding on Sunday despite the eruption of a volcano spewing ash into the sky behind them. Chino and Kat Vaflor were tying the knot at a venue聚会地点10 miles from the Taal V olcano when wedding photographer Randolf Evan captured dramatic shots of the couple with the ash plume seemingly overhead.The Taal V olcano, about 37 miles south of Manila, which is right on the island of Luzon, erupted in the afternoon, forcing people to evacuate as experts warned that another "hazardous危险的explosive eruption" is possible."We were actually tense because while working we kept on checking social media for updates on the volcanic eruption. So we were actually aware of the warnings and escalating levels that were being announced real time," Evan told CNN. "We also discussed discreetly谨慎地among ourselves what we should do when worst comes to worst." Evan said everyone at the wedding at Savanna Farm by Solange stayed "calm" as the couple said "I do." Evan later posted a picture of the couple on the Internet, swirling clouds in the distance, and wrote, "The wedding continues!"The Philippine Institute of V olcanology and Seismology reported that the volcano exhibited a "fast escalation" in volcanic activity. Continuous eruption produced ash plumes 6 to 9 miles above the crater, it said. The institute urged the evacuation of Taal V olcano island and several nearby towns. It raised its alert status to indicate预示the possibility of a hazardous有危险的eruption with lava within hours to days. The Manila International Airport Authority suspended使暂停arrivals and departures.6. The underlined word in the first paragraph “tying the knot” most pro bably means ________．A. getting marriedB. taking photosC. attending a wedding ceremonyD. watching over the volcano7. From the third paragraph we can know that_____ .A. it was quite safe at the venueB. they were carefully prepared for all the possibilities that might happenC. they don’t care about the volcano eruptionD. the couple didn’t know the warnings338. Where does this passage probably come from?A. FictionB. TextbookC. NewspaperD. Netnews9.Which of the following is NOT true according the passage?A. Another dangerous eruption might happen with lava within hours to days.B. People were forced to leave because of the volcano eruption.C. Wedding photographer Randolf Evan captured dramatic shots of the couple from the Taal V olcano.D. While a volcano erupted a couple were holding their wedding ceremony not very far from it.BEmotional support animals are becoming more common. They can be pets such as cats and dogs but they canalso be unlikely animals such as squirrels (a lthough more unusual animals don’t always go down well). But one man has showed he finds comfort in his pet alligator短吻鳄.Joie Henney, from Pennsylvania, U. S., has a five-foot, 60 pounds emotional support alligator. And it’s not the only reptile (爬行动物) that Joie lives with. The one that steals the show, however, is four-year-old Wally, who has a special place in Joie’s heart. While most of us might be scared to go near an alligator, Joie insists the animal is super friendly and loves giving hugs and kisses.Little Wally is now four and was rescued from outside Orlando when he was 14 months old. Joie says Wally could one day be 16 foot long. Wally’s diet includes chicken wings and he shares an indoor plastic pond with a smaller rescued alligator named Scrappy. Wally has never bitten anyone and is even afraid of cats, according to Joie. Joie explained, “He’s far from a typical alligator. He loves hugs and he loves giving kisses.” As well as having full run of the house, Wally is regularly taken out for walks to parks, malls and even restaurants.Joie, who refused to take medicine when going through depression, found great relief in interaction with Wally. With a fan-base, Joie works with volunteers daily to show Wally in schools, birthday parties, and other eve nts. He says it’s just like having a dog.10. What is Joie Henney’s favourite pet?A. an alligator named WallyB. an alligator named ScrappyC. a dog named WallyD. a cat11. From the last paragraph we can infer that _______ .A. Joie works with volunteers every dayB. Wally likes a dogC. Wally is quite popular in the surrounding areaD. Joie refused to take medicine because of Wally12. Why did Joie Henney say “He’s far from a typical alligator.? Because _______ .A. Wally is super friendly and loves giving hugs and kissesB. Wally likes chicken wingsC. Wally is regularly taken out for walksD. Wally is an unlikely animalCTwenty-four trains, nine countries, 13,500 miles. They are the numbers behind the train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China. Roger Tyers, 37, spent a month on board trains and over $2,500 —almost triple the cost of a return flight— to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic research in May..It was the climate crisis, not a love of trains, that drove Tyers to choose this route over a return flight. Tyers said that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned that the world has less than 11 years to avoid terrible levels of global warming. Tyers said that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions than a return flight. A passenger on a return flight from London to New York brings as much CO2 as the average person in the European Union does by heating their home each year, according to the European Commission.Tyers is not the only person to avoid air travel in response to climate change. Thousands of people worldwide have publicly pledged to stop flying, including teenage activist Greta Thunberg, who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.Activist Maja Rosen started the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year. Although only around 14,000 people signed the online "flightfree2019" pledge, Rosen said that the campaign had made more people aware of the urgency of the climate crisis and motivated them to travel by train more often. Rosen, who stopped flying 12 years ago, says one of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do as an individual. The campaign is about making people aware that if we do this together, we can actually make a huge difference.13. How much will it take to fly from Southampton to Ningbo?A. over $2,500B. about $830C. less than $420D. $ 50014. What is Tye rs’ intention of choosing a train jouney?A. to stop flying to avoid terrible levels of global warmingB. to stop flying to to save moneyC. to avoid terrible weatherD. to enjoy more scenery15. What does the underlined word "Flight Free" mean ?A. take a flight for freeB. take a plane freelyC. not to take a flightD. take a free flight16. From the passage we can know that _____ .A. many people shares the same point of view and just did the same as TyersB. people have already been aware of the urgency of the climate crisisC. what an individual does is not really importantD. Activist Maja Rosen achieved the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.DGoogle's parent company Alphabet has asked its North American staff to work from home to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus.Last week the tech giant sent a memo to staff recommending that employees in Washington state work from home. It has now expanded that request to all of its almost 100,000 workers across 11 office in the US and Canada.Alphabet is the latest company to make such an announcement as US coronavirus cases have risen to almost 1,000. "Out of an abundance of caution, and for the protection of Alphabet and the broader community, we now recommend you work from home if your role allows," Chris Rackow, Google's vice president of global security, wrote in an email to workers.Alphabet said its offices in North America will remain open for those whose jobs require them to come in.Last week, Google, along with many of the world's other major tech companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook, began recommending that staff in Seattle should work from home as the coronavirus spreads in Washington state.The state had more than 160 cases as of Monday night. California and New York, where Alphabet has large offices, are also experiencing spikes in the number of cases.In other moves to fight coronavirus, Google has:temporarily banned ads for medical face masks●established a Covid-19 fund, so temporary staff and vendors can take paid sick leave if they have symptoms of the virus●teamed up with the UK's NHS to help prevent the spread of misinformation about the outbreak, by promoting correct health and travel advice when people search for coronavirus treatments or symptoms17. Most Google workers in the US and Canada are required to work from home to _____ .A. develop a new working styleB. help stop the spread of the coronavirusC. establish a Covid-19 fundD. help prevent the spread of misinformation about the virus18. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Temporary staff and vendors with symptoms of the virus can take paid sick leave.B. Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook staff in Seattle also should work from home.C. Alphabet offices will remain open for those with face masks to come in.D.

The passage implies that the most effective way to prevent the spread of the virus is _______ .A. to team up with the UK's NHSB. to establish a Covid-19 fundC. to keep away from the crowdD. to wear face masks at home20. The passage tells us that _______ .A. Measures have been taken to fight the virusB. The spread of misinformation about the outbreakC.

world.Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practicesto meet a parenting need,parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.Modern parents often look to the Internet and social media for parentingadvice.The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children’s development,both academically and emotionally.Modern parents are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise disciplined and confident children.A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting,where parents are much too focused on their children.They help children with tasks they’r e capable of doing on their own,like selecting activities and friends for them,or calling their teachers about homework matters.Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children’s ability to handle responsibilities independently.Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as doing laundry (洗衣),clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork.Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problem-solving.On the other hand,parents in the past tended to monitor less.Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends.Domestic helpers were also not the norm then,hence children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework.Living in the pre-internet age,parents were less informed about different parenting methods,and their parenting styles were guided more by theirpersonalities,common sense and friendly advice from the extended family and neighbors,rather than by social media influences or parenting websites.There is no one right way to raise a child.Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering,who are supportive but not controlling,and who protect but not care too much.4.What does the underlined word “tapping” mean in paragraph 1?A.Employing.B.Tracking.C.Monitoring.D.Identifying.5.What is a distinctive characteristic of helicopter parenting?A.Flexible.B.Efficient.C.Conventional.D.Overinvolved.6.What do we know about parents in the past?A.They educated kids in a rigid way.B.They overestimated their kids’ independence.C.They afforded kids more space for self-growth.D.They tended to stay away from social activities.7.What does the text mainly tell us?A.How to raise all-round children.B.How to enhance parent-child bonds.C.How parenting modes have shifted over the years.D.How information technology boosts people’s lifest yles.C(2024浙江台州二模)When I was in college,an acquaintance who had graduated a few years ago came back to visit for the weekend.As we walked around campus on Saturday night,he flung his hands into the cold air and exclaimed,“You guys are so lucky;you live a minute away from all your friends.You’ll never have this again.”At that time,I thought it was kind of sad — a grown man longing for my life of university housing and late library nights.But his words have stuck with me in the years since.“In adulthood,as people grow up and go away,friendships are the relationships most likely to suffer,” my colleague Julie Beck wrote in2015.Therefore,the older you get,the more effort it takes to maintainconnections,because you don’t have as many built-in opportunities to see yourfriends every day.The writer Jennifer Senior noted last year that the fact of our choosing friendships makes them both fragile and special.“You have to continuallyinvolve.That you choose it is what gives it its value,” she wrote.But that’s al so what makes friendships harder to hold on to as our lives evolve.It’s hard but not impossible.Senior notes that when it comes to friendship,“we are ritual-deficient.So we have to create them:weekly phone calls,friendship anniversaries,road trips,and so on.”“Friendship is the rare kind of relationship that remains forever available to us as we age,” Senior writes.“It’s a defender against stasis (停滞期),a potentialsource of creativity and revival in lives that otherwise narrow with time.”It’s something worth choosing,over and over again.8.It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that the writer’s friend probablyfelt .A.enviousB.irritatedC.sympatheticD.uneasy9.Julie Beck might agree that .A.it’s ridiculous for adults to long for campus lifeB.distance brings challenge to keeping friendshipsC.people do not create enough chances to meet with friendsD.when friends are apart,their friendships surely weaken as well10.The following ways can help people hold on to friendships except .A.celebrating important daysB.going on journeys togetherC.enlarging circles of friendsD.keeping in touch with friends11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The future of friendship.B.The origin of friendship.C.The nature of friendship.D.The definition of friendship.D(2024山东济南一模)In conversations with strangers,people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable.But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong.Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new.However,it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.In our research,we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%,40%,50%,60% of the time in a conversation with someone new.We found that the more they spoke,the more they were liked by their new partners.This was only one study with 116participants,but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings.Forexample,a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the roleof“speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”.After engaging in 12-minute interactions,listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners.This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up:Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.Further,we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time.The result shows it is not an ideal strategy.Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression.It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time.However,it does not reflect more natural conversations.Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.12.What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?A.Speaking a little less is preferred.B.Speaking half the time is the best.C.Listeners are more likable than speakers.D.Listeners fail to control the conversations.13.How was the research carried out?A.By analyzing speaking habits.B.By making comparisons.C.By listing examples.D.By collecting data.14.What is the disadvantage of the research?A.The conversation time is limited.B.Further study is hard to continue.C.The findings are less widely appliable.D.Interactions with strangers are missing.15.In which situation can the research finding be applied?A.Attending a family gathering.B.Partying with your friends.C.Meeting a new teacher.D.Making a public speech.Ⅱ.七选五(2024浙江温州二模)Museums can be overwhelming.With thousands of pieces there,how do you know which to focus on?And once you see a piece you like,how do you interact with it?Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.Getupcloseandpersonal. 1 Therefore,take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen.That includes its look and the feel of its surface,the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.Standback.Next,take a few steps back,stand in the center —and observe what’s happening in the big picture.What’s going on in the piece? 2 What are they doing?How are they related?Lookatitfromanangle.Then try looking at an artwork from its sides,because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on.If it’s something like TheAmbassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London,if you stand to the side,you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 3 That’s called anamorphic art.Moveyourbody.If you’re looking at a painting,you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 4 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from theartist’s perspective.Considerthesubjectoftheart.That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work—and perhaps you can learn something from it.Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting,Christina’sWorld,which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance.The painting personifies (体现) determination. 5A.So just keep an open mind.B.What have they gone through?C.When you stand to the side,it changes.D.How are the figures in the piece arranged?E.We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.F.When looking at sculptures,try the poses with your body.G.It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.答案：满分练(四)

Emmons, professor of psychology at UC Davis, told NBC Today. In a study published in the Journal ofPersonality and Social Psychology, Emmons found that when people kept a gratitude journal, they were happier.So much happier, in fact, after a month of daily journaling, they showed a 10 percent increase on subjectivehappiness—that's the same jump in happiness you'd expect if you doubled your income.In this study, researchers asked subjects to simply record events of their day in a journal. One group of participants was told to make a list of how their life was better than most. What the study found was thatparticipants in the gratitude group reported much higher levels of satisfaction with their lives than the controlgroup. They felt more optimistic about the upcoming week and more connected with others.It appears that participation in the gratitude condition led to substantial and consistent improvements in people's assessments of the global well-being,”the study noted.Ready to start your own gratitude journal? The good news is that it doesn't have to take a lot of time oreffort. It can be as simple as opening a specifically designated gratitude notebook and taking 60 seconds to listthree to five things you're grateful for that happened that day or the day before.You can make it part of your morning routine as you sip your coffee or your bedtime ritual as you winddown for bed. Keep it simple and write down the first thoughts that come up; even one word or a short phrase isit could be anything from a beautiful sunset to a tasty meal to a yoga class or favorite TV show.

I was young.Those visits were fantastic.The library might have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy(自主权).In the library,I could have anything I wanted.And on the ride back home,my mom and I would talk about the order in which we were going to read our books,a solemn conversation in which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books were due.When I left for college,one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my mom was that I was wild about owning books.All I know is that I lost my appreciation of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed time.If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some book at the library,I got annoyed and asked why she didn’t just b uy it.But in 2011,one of my son’s school assignments was to interview someone who worked for the city.He said he wanted to interview a librarian.As my son and I drove to meet the librarian,I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity,a recollection of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library.I had taken this trip so many times before,but at that moment I turned my thought on its head,and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.As I walked into the library,nothing had changed—the sense of gentle,steady busyness,like a pot of water on a rolling boil (沸点),was just the same.In the library,time is dammed up—not just stopped but saved.I knew what hooked me was the shock of familiarity I felt—the way it revealed my childhood,my relationship with my mom,my love of books.However,as I was rediscovering those memories,my mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ once said that inAfrica,whenever an old man dies,it is like a library has burned.But if you can take something from his or her internal collection and share it,it takes on a life of its own.4.What can be inferred about the author’s childhood from Paragraph 1?A.She lived near a library.B.She possessed a library.C.She didn’t borrow books from librar ies.D.She enjoyed visits to libraries.5.How did the author change after entering college?A.She lost her enthusiasm for reading.B.She did not return books on time.C.She quit the habit of going to libraries.D.She wanted to buy books for her mom.6.What did the author rediscover when she walked into the library with her son?A.Her love of libraries.B.Her delight in owning books.C.Her lost memory of her mom.D.Her familiarity with her mom.7.Which can be the title of this passage?A.The Library—a World of KnowledgeB.The Library—a Place of MemoryC.The Library—a Busy PlaceD.The Library—an Old ManC(2020重庆第一次抽测)At first glance,there is nothing unusual about the BingoBox store—shelves stacked with snacks line the walls,tempting passers-by through the glass windows.But on closer inspection,BingoBox is no ordinary store.The door opens only after customers scan a QR code to enter,and there is no cashier to tally up purchases—just a lone checkout counter in a corner.The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators opening outlets all over China,hoping to improve slim profit margins in the retail business by reducing staff costs.“If capital costs rise quickly,that puts greater pressure onlow-margin businesses like convenience stores and sup ermarkets,”said Andrew Song,an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities.“In China,manpower costs have been rising relatively quickly.”However,the futuristic vision of shopping without a checkout person is still in progress.A reporter who visited a BingoBox store in Shanghai was briefly locked in when he was trying to exit without making a purchase.Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code,no QR code was to be found.Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.Another unmanned operation in China,Take Go,only allows one customer in the shop at a time because of technology limitations in using multiple cameras for scanning customers’ faces.The idea of unmanned stores first caught the world’s attention when the largest US online retailer announced its cashier-less store,which is only available to employees for now.Since then,some technology companies in China,including the e-commerce firm Alibaba Group,have launched their own versions of unmanned stores.Embedded with technology such as RFID tags,mobile payment systems and facial recognition systems,such stores collect valuable data that give operators a better idea of consumers’ preference and buyinghabits,which can then be used to optimize the operation and make moreefficient inventory decisions.For BingoBox,lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic,according to Chen Zilin,the founder and CEO of BingoBox.8.What makes the BingoBox store look like an ordinary convenience store?A.Shelves stacked with goods.B.A lone checkout counter.C.Fewer cashiers to tally up purchases.D.Entering by scanning a QR code.9.Why are unmanned stores popular with operators?A.The customers prefer mobile payment systems.B.The unmanned stores help improve profit with lower labor costs.C.The employees focus on consumers’ preference and buying habits.D.The operators care more about operations and inventory decisions.10.How many cases can show that the unmanned stores need improving?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.11.What can we infer according to Chen Zilin?A.Nowadays all stores should be equipped with advanced technology.B.The operators collect data about consumers’ preference and buying habits.C.BingoBox made wiser decisions based on the data collected in unmanned stores.D.The operators can open unmanned supermarkets in more remote places with low costs.D(2020四川成都第一次诊断)This morning we’re going to head off down into the wetland,a very specific kind of wetland called the Prairie fen.You can find Nate Fuller counting butterflies.The Sarett Nature Center needs an accurate count of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies to help preserve one of their last known habitats.They’re very particular about the kind of habitat where they can live,which is part of what makes them so rare and amazing indicators for our water quality.Today,Sarett expert Ashley Cole-Wick with Michigan’s Natural Features Inventory helps Fuller count.She says,“When I first started working on the butterfly in 2013,we had 18 populations and in 2019,we had 10.”The Mitchell’s satyr butterfly went on the endangered species list in 1991.Initially it was thought that loss of wetlands contributed to their decline.Fuller says,“It’s not just habitat a vailability.The quantity and quality of groundwater coming into these wetlands seem to be a challenge for the butterfly.Nothing has all been sorted out exactly.”While the decline is likely a combination of factors,the fact that water quality might contribute is alarming because the wetlands are the headwaters for the Midwest’s rivers and streams.A captive breeding (人工繁殖) program was started four years ago at the Toledo Zoo to help get to the bottom of the mystery.Today Director Ryan Walsh who heads the pro gram says it’s been the only successful captive breeding program.The caterpillars (毛毛虫) spent the winter in a special weather control room that helped determine the Mitchell’s satyrs don’t do well below 4.4 degrees Celsius.With that knowledge,the program produced 1,300 new eggs,a development that may go a long way toward restoringthe population.And if all goes well,may one day the Mitchell’s satyr butterfly earn a ticket off the endangered species list.12.What are the indicators for the water quality?A.The habitats.B.The butterflies.C.The wetlands.D.The experts.13.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A.The importance of water quality.B.Actions taken to protect the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.C.The reasons why the number of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies declines.D.The natural conditions for the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.14.What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Preserving.B.Increasing.C.Recovering.D.Controlling.15.What can we learn about the butterfly?A.It can easily be found.B.It is not endangered now.C.It will die above 4.4 degrees Celsius.D.It can be bred by humans.Ⅱ.七选五(2020河南郑州第一次预测)Are people less or more happy when they get older?A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50.In fact,it found that by the age of 85,people are happier with their life than they were at 18.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. 16Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotionswere those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. 17 The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.18 One theory is that,as people get older,they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.19 In another study,people in their 80s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.20 But except for that,people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.A.So why will happiness increase with age?B.Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.C.At that time,the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.D.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.E.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.F.The survey did find an increase during middle age,especially in women.G.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.【帮你拓知识】核心知识,词块记忆①hostthefashionweek举办时装周②kickoffonSeptember5th9月5号隆重开始③bringafreshlook带来全新面貌④comeontheheelsof紧随其后⑤haveareputationfor因……享有赞誉⑥befloodedby被……淹没⑦asenseofabsolutefamiliarity一种非常熟悉的感觉⑧revealmychildhood重回儿时⑨atfirstglance乍一看⑩oncloserinspection再近前看anunmannedstore无人值班商店improveslimprofitmargins提升微薄的利润空间reducestaffcosts减少人力成本putpressureon施加压力aconveniencestore便利店acheckoutperson收银员makeapurchase购买thecustomerservicehotline顾客热线catchtheworld’sattention获得世界的关注facialrecognitionsystems面部识别系统参考答案阅读理解+七选五阅读限时组合练4Ⅰ.【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。

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... Maybe it will inspire someone else."5. What is the purpose of Hughes’s launch ?A. To prove that people can do things extraordinary with their livesB. To prove some governmental conspiracy theoriesC. To perform a PR stunt they dreamed upD. To drum up publicity for the Science Channel6. Where did the homemade rocket crash?A. In the backyard of his home in Barstow, California.B.

Hughes finished the project all by himself.C (字数：284)Growing up as the son of a charcutier食品商人, Michel Roux had learned whether it was Monday or Tuesday from the smell of boudin or andouillettes on the stairs; and his earliest memory was of beating up egg yolks which, as if by magic, thickened in the hot stock into sauce酱for his mother's blanquette of veal小牛肉.To run just one restaurant with Albert would have been good enough. 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. From the passage we can learn that____ .A. Michel Roux beat up egg yolks by magic,B. Michel Roux didn’t like the Rolling StonesC. Michel Roux disagreed with Albert in details.D. Michel Roux had a really acute sense of smell and was a perfectionist.9. What would be the most appropriate title of the passage?A. The Perfectionist: Michel RouxB. The Economist: Michel RouxC. Son of a charcutierD. Run a restaurant with Albert10. When did Albert leave Michel Roux?A. In 1986B. When his first wife divorced him.C. A decade beforeD. When he and Albert produced cookery books七选五D（字数:385 ）Lixia, the Beginning of SummerLixia, also called the Beginning of Summer, is the 7th out of the 24 solar terms in China, which happens usually on May 5,6 or 7. _____ 11_____.

People use red, yellow, black, green beans and peas, together with sticky rice to make a bowl of five-color rice. This color-rich rice will bring people good harvests in the summer.Weighing people is a traditional custom which dates from the Three Kingdoms Period. _____ 14_____. If the child was heavier than the previous year, it meant the child was becoming healthier and parents wouldn’t have any worries for the hot summer.After Lixia, the temperature is gradually rising and hot weather can be a strain on your heart.

His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They live a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life.

They enjoy government-subsidized housing, free healthcare and better education for their children.17However, the prices of consumer products, including essentials - fromvegetables and fruits to pork and beef - have risen considerably over the past decade. 18As prices keep rising, unchanged salary means the decline of their incomes. Some government employees' pay checks, accidentally leaked from time lo time, also indicate they are not paid as well as many people believe.It is unfair for civil servants not to be paid according to the importance of the work they do. 19_ But it docs not mean that all government employees, especially the ordinary ones, have illegal sources of income. The country is making continuous efforts to fight corruption and promote frugal ity（节俭）.20It especially matters for those at the mid and lower levels who depend entirelyon their salaries for a living. It will also mark a big step toward building a normal pay-rise mechanism tuned to national economic growth and prices.A.People believe that public servants are very well rewarded.B.Any news about public servants' pay rise will draw criticismGovernment employees' salaries have not been raised since 2003.C.And there is a nearly 10-fold increase in housing prices in some big cities.D.The wage adjustments will be warmly welcomed by China's large army of public servants.E.Some argue that some civil servants have access to "gray incomes" apart from their normal salaries.F.Some people even think government employees also get an opportunity to make 44 grey incomes ". 参考答案：ACDFE11/11D.Dick had a rich brother-in-law.BColor helps you see things. But man and some monkeys and apes （猿）are the only mammals （哺乳动物）that can see color. To any other mammal, such as the dog, the world looks like a black-and-white photo. Dogs hunt mainly by listening and sniffing （闻）.Like other animals, dogs see best when things move, The animals they hunt seem to know this. A hunted rabbit or deer will "freeze". Then the dog may not see it at all.Birds can see colour. They need to, because they fly and need to find places to land. Colour helps them judge distance and shape. In this way they are able to catch bugs （昆虫）in the air or to light on branches.Some birds see things even better than you do. The birds that eat bugs can see them from far away. And even a very young bird can see a hawk high in the sky. So sharp eyes and a sense of colour help birds find food and also help them find where their enemies are.（）4.can see color.A.All the animalsB. All the mammalsC. Man and dogsD. Birds and monkeys（）5. In order to find their food, dogs mainly use their.A. eyes and nosesB. ears and nosesC. eyes and earsD. mouths and ears（）6. The word "freeze" in the passage means.A.the hunted animals are frozen on the ground because of cold weatherthe hunted animals' temperature is becoming lower and lower until it drops below 0°CB.the hunted animals will stop running and stay in the same place without movementthe hunted animals are so frightened that they can't move any longer（）7. Color helps birds.A. see better than manB. see better than dogsC. see how colorful the world isD. see clearly where food and enemies areCSome people don't mind being fat. Other people can keep slim （苗条）without any effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don't like it. The question is, what can they do about it?Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don't eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Somestick to milk and bananas. You'll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren't cheap. Another says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs, and apples with their skins on which are hard for your stomach to digest。
