Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface “.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”21. The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her22. The passage shows that_________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words23. The underlined word “gulf” in the third passage means_______.A. deep misunderstanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between mother and daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land24. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.25. What's best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and childrenC. My Mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and meBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test— unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher abou t this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.26. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once27. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying29. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice30. In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyNew wordsNew phrasesNew sentences参考答案1-5 ACDBC 6-10DACBA 11-15 BCADB 16-20CDCDB 21-25 CABDC 26-30ACBBB。

Both of their DNA burns with competitive fire. Satin has held the distinction for years of being a hot tempered player on Court. When he lost his temper, he would break a racket〔球拍〕. Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother. A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as "mad as a snake". The Sydney Morning Herald, during the Australian Open, summed up Safina's volatile〔不稳定的〕emotional state with the headline: "Satina goes from basket case to top of the world."It's not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.

Local leaders told her that the animals were not healthy and the number of reindeer was. getting too small to support the community.Back in the United States, Morgan Keay and a friend who had also studied in Mongolia started an organization. They named it Itgelthe Mongolian word for "hope".The Itgel Foundation has helped bring foreign scientists to Mongolia to research and treat reindeer diseases. They also helped Tsaatan workers build a community and visitor center. The building includesguest rooms for tourists. The Tsaatan not only work as guides, they now provide services for travelers. The community works in partnership with international tour operators, who had formerly been in control of the services.People in the community designed the center, which they also own and manage. Before the visitor center was built, families earned an average of 100 dollars a year. Now Morgan Keay says the average is 3 to 4 times that. Money also goes into a community account.Four years ago the Tsaatan had fewer than 500 reindeer. Now the herd has already reached 900. Morgan Keay says the Tsaatan are becoming economically independent for the first time.The Mongolian government is now considering a development plan written by the community that deals with education, health, the environment and economics.61.

2024版新教材高考英语复习特训卷课下天天练四十四阅读语言运用组合练
课下天天练(四十四) 阅读语言运用组合练姓名________ 班级________ 考号________ 时间：40分钟Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2023·湖北十一校联考]One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and the ocean. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is ewaste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it's cheaper to replace them than to fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of ewaste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.However, there's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many projects founded around the world. One of its voluntee rs, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault”．As many electronic items contain valuable metals, another idea is ewaste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.These projects make total sense—collections of ewaste for recycling are “stagnating or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, director of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation, much ofit just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers should make appliances longerlasting and supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.1．According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?A．People usually choose to repair a broken electronic item.B．UN reports that the number of ewaste generated will nearly double by 2050.C．Ewaste will be reduced if mor e projects like Restart Project are launched.D．The ewaste mining can help people who have found a fault to purchase items.2．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A．Ceasing. B．Increasing.C．Falling. D．Disappearing.3．What can be the best title for the text?A．What is damaging our planet?B．What is significant for ewaste recycling?C．Ewaste mining benefits us more.D．New lives are brought to ewaste.4．What is the author's attitude towards the future of the problem?A．He is doubtful about it.B．He is concerned but full of confidence.C．He thinks it's just a piece of cake.D．He supposes there's a long way to go.B[2023·合肥第三次质量检测]Sometime back, after a sixyearold lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle, Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, far from people. Magigi spent most of her time within the reserve's protective boundaries, but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer. New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi's unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions. For decades, wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock (牲畜). But the new research shows thatafter lions are moved, most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers' living.Across Africa, lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades, to as few as 23，000 animals today. About 3，000 remain in Botswana. The sharp declines are primarily driven by development—lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat. With less space set aside for conservation, lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans. These are usually farms, expanding around the edges of the protected areas. The lions eat livestock, which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas. Without a proper way to prevent these attacks, the farmers often turn to deadly force, shooting or poisoning the lions, which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.“Rather than trying to move lions，” wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says, “emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place.” Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries, including hiring lion guardians (守卫者) to monitor these big cats, creating lionproof fences, sending out lion text alerts, and teaching herders to keep livestock aw ay from highrisk areas.5．Why was Magigi moved to the reserve?A．To stop her from being caught.B．To prevent her from killing cattle.C．To get her to stay with her family.D．To train her to get along with people.6．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa?A．Illegal wildlife trade.B．Humanlion conflict.C．A natural disaster.D．The lack of food in their habitat.7．What can we infer from Maude's words in the last paragraph?A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.C．Prevention is the cure for lions' attacking livestock.D．It's impossible for lions to live with humans in harmony.8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Big Cats' Relocation Proving DeadlyB．Lions Was Shot Dead after Attacking a ManC．The Tragic Story of a Magical LionessD．Conservation Status of the African LionⅡ.七选五How to Eat Better for the Planet[2023·沈阳市质量监测]You are environmentally conscious and hungry. Here are answers to all your ecofriendly food questions.Does what I eat have an effect on climate change?Yes. __1__. About one quarter of the planetwarming greenhouse gases are generated by humans each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals, and animal products we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.__2__？When forests are cleared to make room for farms and cattle, large stores of carbon are released into the atmosphere, which heats up the planet. Also, fossil (化石) fuels are used to operate farm machinery and ship food around the globe, all of which generate emissions (排放).Which foods have the largest impact?__3__. Cattle accounts for roughly the same amount of emissions as all the cars, t rucks, airplanes, and ships in the world today, while plantbased foods like beans and grains tend to have the smallest effect. Pork, chicken, and eggs are somewhere in the middle.Why does meat have such a big effect on the climate?It's often more efficient to grow crops for humans to eat than it is to grow crops for animals to eat and then turn those animals into food for humans. Aconclusion was reached by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 2017. __4__．Is there a simple food choice I can make that would reduce my climate footprint?Consuming less red meat and dairy products will typically have the biggest effect for most people in wealthy countries. A number of studies have concluded that people who eat a meatheavy diet could reduce their foodrelated footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegetarian diet. __5__. If you don't want to go that far, just eating less meat and dairy products can reduce emissions.A．Why do we need to change the climateB．The world's food system is responsible for itC．The greenhouse gases have an impact on our foodD．How exactly does food contribute to global warmingE.Giving up dairy products would reduce those emissions even furtherF．On average, it takes about three pounds of grains to raise one pound of meat G．In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________4．________ 5.________Ⅲ.完形填空[2023·广东七校联考试卷]When living in Los Angeles, I walked my dog every Sunday morning around a lake near my house.Week after week, I saw the same elderly woman sitting at the edge of the __1__ with a small metal cage next to her.My __2__ finally got the best of me and I __3__ the woman one day.

This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world?In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China andKorea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾). A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.21. Yellow is concerned with anger in _______.A. RussiaB. BritainC. GermanyD. China22. The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in _______.A. pronunciationB. climateC. logical relationshipD. custom23. Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______.A. black is the color of mourningB. a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC. red stands for beauty and excellenceD. a redcap is a porter in a station24. The best title for this passage is _______.A. The Origin of Blue BloodB. The Development of the Symbolic Use of ColorsC. Colors that Carry Bad MeaningsD. The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors25. When some Spanish called themselves "blueblood", they actually meant _______.A. they had heart trouble and their faces looked blueB. they came from a noble familyC. they had blue blood in their vesselsD. they were fairskinnedBStatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to tavel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.Choose larger aircarft. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.mAlthough small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingThe information may seem repetitious (重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.Store things safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksFlight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.26. What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?A. What to do in the event of a crash.B. How to avoid turbulence.C. How to improve safety while you are flying.D. How to avoid injury.27. The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to _______.A. smaller planesB. passengersC. larger aircraftD. safety records28. The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to _______.A. anything the flight staff tell you to doB. general safety adviceC. walking around the planeD. pouring hot drinks29. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Larger planes have more safety checks and are safe in an accident.B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.30. The best title of the passage should be _______.A.

But what about really y oung filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.21.

At the end of this film festival, there will be ____.A. various awardsB. “red carpet” interviewsC. an open receptionD. a concert at Lincoln CenterBFederal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警报)system using text messages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates（估计）more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies."The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers –telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010.26. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.B. To popularize the use of cell phones.C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.D. To promote the wireless industry.27. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of ____.A. CTIAB. the Warning Alert and Response NetworkC. FCCD. federal regulators28. The carriers’ participation in the system is dete rmined by _____.A. the US federal governmentB. mobile phone usersC. the carriers themselvesD. the law of the United States29. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?A. They must accept the alert service.B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.C. They must send the alerts to othersD.

On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and italso cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos.The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smart childrenand safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environment, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe thispediatrician message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.DR.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to haveachieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades.
