The earliest Chinese fans appeared during the Yin Dynasty about 3,000 years ago, but it is hard to say the exact time when fans became popular in Chinese history.

In China, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province is well-known for its fan-making and there has been an old famous brand — Wangxingji Fan Shop which was first established in 1857.

Many studies tell us that regular exercise not only helps our bodies but improves memory, and eases anxiety. But what is happening to the mind during workout to create all these benefits?A new study from Sweden suggests that a specific protein found in trained muscles might contribute to exercise's mental benefits. This protein, the researchers found, might help our bodies process molecules that, if out of balance, can stress us and contribute to depression(萎靡不振). The findings were published in the journal Cell.To test this, the researchers kept attacking some mice with flashing lights, loud noises and interrupting their sleep for weeks. Predictably, this treatment makes the mice show signs and biochemical markers of depression.But not all the mice showed those signs. One group, specially raised to have high levels of a protein calledPGC-1alpha1 (the one in trained muscles), did not show those depression signs. PGC-1alpha1 increases production of an enzyme that breaks down a chemical called kynurenine. Kynurenine helps the body respond to an activated immune system(活性免疫系统), but it also plays a role in depression.“Our original research assumption was that trained muscle would produce a substance(物质) with beneficialeffects on the brain，” Jorge Ruas of the Karolinska Institute told . “We actually found the opposite: well-trained muscle produces an enzyme that removes harmful substances away from the body.”This study was in mice, but it lines up nicely with all the other lines of evidence that exercise is good for mental health.文章大意：体育熬炼有益身心健康，但是我们的大脑在熬炼过程中发生了什么变化从而有益于我们的身心的呢？本文给出了答案：熬炼的肌肉中产生了一种enzyme物质，它带走了我们身体里的有害物质。
2013届高考英语二轮总复习 专题训练卷专题训练卷7 新课标(湖南专用)
专题训练卷(七) 高中新课标总复习(第二轮)·英语专题训练卷(七)(1)(10 min.)It's strange that a man born on Labor Day has had to work so hard to succeed in life. Jacob seems like a normal person. He likes music, art and photography. His parents both got college degrees. He used to go to a beach house in Portland every summer. He is a big fan of Mexican food. Reading these facts about him may lead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behind all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids growing up.It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and middle school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the worst thing that could have happened to a young man.He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talked to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to West Hills Hospital. He stayed there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serious insomnia caused the problem.The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob's depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was that he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that was on his plate. This led to a weight gain of 25 pounds while he was on medication. So he decided he had to lose some weight and stop the medication.Now he has lost a big part of the weight and he has managed to solve his problem he had in high school. Now he is a happy human being.Many people would have had a very hard time coming back from depression. Many people probably would have given up their dreams. But Jacob is not like this. He took what was a mess of his life and turned it around to become a great man and a person with a very bright future.1. When was Jacob possibly born according to the passage? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________2. Why did Jacob suffer from deep depression? (No more than 4 words)________________________________________________________________________3. How did Jacob gain the weight of 25 pounds while on medication? (No more than 14 words)________________________________________________________________________4. What can we know from Jacob's story? (No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________(2)(10 min.)For 800 years Oxford and Cambridge universities have competed in everything from Nobel Prizes to boat races. The academic competition runs deep: Oxford has tutored 25 British prime ministers, while Cambridge claims Darwin and Newton as its own. But today the wellknown universities launch into battle on iTunes, taking their ancient competition into the 21st century.The universities are meanwhile publishing about 450 hours of free audio and video clips of lectures, films and admissions guides for people to download to a computer or MP3 player. They will also provide podcasts(播客)advising students on applications, how to choose a college, and how to prepare for an interview.They deny the launch at the same time is designed to start an iTunes race, instead claiming it is a sign they are opening up to a wider audience. John Hood, Oxford's vicechancellor (副校长), said: “We hope that this service will make Oxford's diverse range of audio and video material more widely accessible to applicants, alumni (校友), supporters of the university, and the intellectually curious.” And Greg Hayman, head of communications at Cambridge, claims: “It's not just for students and potential students but for the wider public.”However, it will undoubtedly invite accusations(谴责) of a new battleground for the famous rivals(竞争对手). After_eight_centuries_the_competition_between_them_is_fairly_even:_Oxford has produced more prime ministers but Cambridge claims more Nobel Prize winners. So who is the winner in the wave of electronic competition? Let's wait and see.1. What battle do the two wellknown universities launch into? (No more than 4 words)________________________________________________________________________2. What do they claim the launch is intended for? (No more than 7 words)________________________________________________________________________3. What does the underlined sentence “After eight centuries the competition between them is fairly even” mean? (No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________4. What is the passage mainly meant to tell us? (No more than 12 words)________________________________________________________________________(3)(10 min.)According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person's message. Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culturebound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildrenmake the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about —space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize. But the size of a person's “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That's why it's possible to “read someone like a book”.1. How does an American feel when an Arab stands too close to him? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________2. What does the gesture “OK” me an in Japan? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________3. Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________4. Why should people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________(4)(10 min.)Celebrate Earth DayApril 22 is Earth Day — a time of year when special attention is paid to environmental issues. It is an important day to the people of my home state of Oregon. Oregon is filled with thick green forests, and its residents are often actively involved in preserving its natural beauty.I recently had the chance to interview Michael Carrier, Oregon's National Resource Policy Director, about the significance of Earth Day in our state. “Salmon(鲈鱼) are very important to Oregon，” said Carrier. He explained that Oregon is devoted to maintaining its salmon population, and has issued special license plates with a salmon design. The plates have raised more than $2 million for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). According to Carrier, the OPRD invests thousands of dollars every year in numerous projects designed to improve salmon life, such as restoring streams to make them fishfriendly.When I asked about how kids could help the environment, Carrier responded that it is important for us to learn about environmental issues, and to keep up with new developments. He also suggested another way that young people can set to work. “Kidscan help by recycling，” said Carrier.Oregon will host several activities to celebrate Earth Day this year. The Oregon Gardens is the site for an educational event for environmental activists and community leaders. Many Oregonians will get in on the Earth Day action by volunteering to help clean up part of their communities. For some places, like the Oregon Zoo, Earth Day is every day, with special programs that encourage people to recycle throughout the year.Remember — you can do your part to help the environment. So this Earth Day, get out of the house, sign up for some earthfriendly activities, and have fun!1. When is Earth Day? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________2. Find a word in the passage closest in meaning to the underlined word “preserving”.________________________________________________________________________3. In order to improve salmon life, the OPRD invests much every year. What's the result of the efforts? (No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________4. What does the author advise children to do to celebrate this Earth Day? (No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________(5)(10 min.)When making decisions about land use, some say that human should come before animal needs in any case. While I agree that human needs should have primary consideration, humans have a responsibility to protect the land of animals.Animals adapt very slowly to environment changes. Many endangered animals can only live in one place, or live in some specific type of area, while humans, on the other hand, can adapt quickly to the changing and hostile environment. For instance, if people need to live in a very dry place, they can use technology to locate and drill water, or build pipelines to bring water in from outside. The residents in Xinjiang province dug underground tunnels hundreds of kilometers long to carry water to oasis towns such as Turpan. Because humans are more flexible while many animals are not, people should make an effort to use up all available spaces before encroaching upon the habitats of animals.Another important reason why people should protect animals is that the delicate ecological balance might be irreparably harmed by extinction. For example, if farmers chop down the forests and use the land to grow corn, they might simultaneously destroy their homes of a kind of bird that eats locusts. The next year the locust population can grow unchecked, and then the locusts can destroy the entire nearby corn crop. Not only do the birds lose their homes, but humans also are harmed. The ecological balance of many natural habitats is still not well understood and humans interfere in it at their peril.Finally, humans can learn some valuable things from animals. One example is inthe field of medicine. By observing a particular kind of monkey in south America, scientists have discovered that the monkeys eat a kind of plant when they get sick, through researching, the scientists found out that this specific plant also has medicinal value for humans. If the monkey's habitat had been destroyed to create more farmland, not only would we lose the monkeys and the plants, but we would also lose lifesaving medicines a nd the potential for medical research.To ensure a better world for both the humans and the animals, we have no time to waste and actions should be taken right now.1. What is the main idea of the passage？(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________2. Why can humans adapt to the environment changes quickly and easily？(No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________3. According to the passage, what benefits may animals bring to us humans？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________4. Why does the writer write this passage？(No more than 8 words)________________________________________________________________________(6)(10 min.)(长沙一中2012届高三第一次月考)Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, “My spoken English is poor, ” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English as quickly and well as you can even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense. But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonderwhy their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.1. According to the passage, what do many Chinese students think of their English？(No more than 12 words)________________________________________________________________________2. Why can't some Chinese students find suitable words to express themselves? (No more than 6 words)________________________________________________________________________3.

专题二七选五题组一Passage 1 [2023新课标卷Ⅰ, 12.5分]Personal ForgivenessTaking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don't beat yourself up about them. To err（犯错） is human. 1 D You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading "Personal strengths." 2 B Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don't have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you're proud of.At the top of a second page, put the heading "Acts of kindness." On this one, list all the positive things you've done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 3 FYou could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 4 C That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don't wait until you've made a mistake to try this — it's a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.It's something of a cliché（陈词滥调）that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it's true. 5 G We're all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.D. It's just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.E. It doesn't mean you have to ignore what's happened or forget it.F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn't a fixed aspect of your personality.1. D[解析]本文的主题是自我原谅，空前两句和空后一句都没有提到forgiveness，再结合空后的"help you do this"和下文的内容可知，空处一定会提到forgiveness及它的重要性。

文体分类练(七)新闻报道(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023四川成都三诊)Jeff Jensen,the business and Boy Scout leader,was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot.He needed surgery,but he doubted whether he could afford it,even with insurance.“There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24,000 dollars and going.How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.Luckily for Jensen,his doctor is Demetrio Aguila.The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work.He founded an organization called M25 Program.“We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS.“We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”Using an algorithm (算法),the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery.In Jensen’s case,the $12,000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.Like 10 percent of Aguila’s pa tients,Jensen chose the community service.And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult,Aguila,50,not only lets others participate,he encourages it.“I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.Jensen,whose surgery was completed in February 2020,was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train,which donates food,clothing,and medicine nationally and globally.Dave Harvey,founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My Brethren,is counted as one who is inspired by Aguila.“He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!”he told KMTV in Omaha.“What a cool thing!”1.What can a patient do if he can’t afford

get the hard part out of the way first.Last November,Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request.“Dear LA County,I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one.Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later.The department does in fact license unicorns,she said,under certain conditions.Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth,feeding it watermelon at least once a week,covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight,moonbeams and rainbows.And,because unicorns are indeed very rare to find,the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search,as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,”Mayeda wrote in the letter.“I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told The Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature.They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place,and doing her research to work out how to go about that.She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death”issues on the job,whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuseor animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals.So Madeline’s letter has co nsiderably brightened their spirits,and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application.Safe to say,she’s in for a magical surprise.5.Why did Madeline write the letter?A.To apply to visit a unicorn.B.To learn to provide animal care.C.To ask permission to keep a pet.D.To figure out how to find a unicorn.6.What can we learn from paragraph 3?A.Her application was disapproved.B.Requirements should be met for the license.C.She was presented with a live unicorn.D.Guidance was given for her search.7.Which of the following best describes Mayeda?A.Imaginative.B.Sensitive.C.Flexible.D.Convincing.8.Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”?A.Because it is the first application letter for a pet.B.Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue.C.Because they are worn out with their daily work.D.Because they are touched with the girl’s deeds.Passage3(2023广东茂名二模)Holding the large and heavy “brick”cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.Little did he know when he made

an optimist.He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.“My most negative opinion is that we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC,the Mobile World Congress,the world’s biggest wirel ess trade show,where he was getting a lifetime award.Cooper sees a dark side to the advances,including the risk to children.One idea,he said,is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences”.Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.Cooper used the DynaTAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs,owned by AT&T.It was literally t he world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution.Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones.He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body”,possibly as sensors “measuring your health at all times”.Batteries,he said,might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues,so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand,for example,the device could be placed under the skin.9.What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.A smartphone.B.A Motorola prototype.C.A “brick” cellphone.D.An original cellphone.10.What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone?A.Most negative.B.Very subjective.C.Doubtful and disapproving.D.Optimistic but also concerned.11.What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5?A.They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.B.They should have easy access to various Internets.C.They should be introduced to different audiences.D.They should use various Internets for learning materials.12.According to Cooper,how might smartphones be powered in the future?A.By body sensors.B.By human body.C.By solar energy.D.By advanced batteries.答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila成立的M25 Program 的帮助下,通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事。

2013届高考英语二轮复习最新试题精选单项选择专题训练（解析版）6试题分析：考查倍数被动法。
本句中的30％也是倍数的一种表达。
倍数表达有三种：1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”，2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”，3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width，etc+of+B”，4. “……times+what+从句”。
句意：所有这些二手车都是以以前的价格的百分之30出售。
考点：点评：倍数表达要牢记，倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点，也是历届高考的热点。
当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时，通常用句型来表示：1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”，表示“A比B大（长、高、宽等）多少倍”。
如：This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长（比那根绳子长一倍）。
2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。

It was one of the happiest times of my life. I was 29 and had just received my bachelor’s degree, graduating with honors despite working two jobs and being a wife and mother. My parents and five-year-old son were in the audience when I walked onto the stage at Ashland University to get my diploma. I was so excited and proud to be starting a teaching career and contributing more to my family’s well-being.But when I got home that evening, there was a note from my husband written on the back of an envelope. It basically said he had come to get his clothes and wouldn’t be back. We’d been having trouble, but the finality of that note still came as a shock. He had emptied our bank account. We were horribly in debt. I had quit my previous jobs in expectation of interviewing for a teaching position. Plus, I was eight months pregnant.I had my son, and I was about to bring a new life into the world, so despite my deep sadness, I had to go on. The next morning, I woke up, put my feet on the floor, took a deep breath, fixed breakfast, and basically did everything I always did. I used my routine to keep me moving. After being in the military for six years, I guess you can say I relied on my training, like all good soldiers do in tough situations. One small step after one small step was the way I bounced back.And in the seven years since, I’ve continued moving forward. I got a job as a kindergarten teacher, earned a master’s degree in education, and watched my babies grow to twelve and seven. I certainly would never have chosen to put them through this, but looking back, I’m glad it happened to me when it did. It helped me find my voice and myself a lot sooner. It helped me grow independent, confident, and strong—things I’m hopefully instilling(灌输) now in my children.36. After getting her bachelor’s degree, the author expected to ________.A. become a teacherB. be a wife and motherC. work two jobsD. get divorced37. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A. Her husband wrote a note to congratulate her on her graduation.B. She had just been to a job interview when her husband left her.C. Her husband paid off all the debts from the bank.D. She was going to have another baby soon. 38. The author’s hardships in life made her ________.A. become confident and independentB. work harder in the kindergartenC. use her routine to move forwardD. feel pleased with what happened to her39. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. The author’s parents helped her a lotB. The author received further education laterC. The author earned a master’s degree when she was 29D. The author didn’t know how to deal with marriage40. What helped the author to pull through her hard time?A. The divorce with her husband.B. Her fellow soldiers in the army.C. Her decision to find a new job.D. A strong mind and love for her kids.【参考答案】36. A 37. D 38. A 39. B 40. D【2022模拟】阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
