The original passage:Why You Should Learn How to Set and Manage GoalsHow to make goals less overwhelming and more attainableSetting and managing goals is very important for people with and without PTSD. Goals can give your life purpose and direction as well as motivate healthy behaviors focused on improving your life.However, goals can also be very overwhelming and a source of stress, especially if you are struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder or some other mental health disorder. Sometimes people set goals that are too lofty, difficult to attain or too far off in the future.This can bring about a sense of helplessness and hopelessness, increasing risk for depression and low motivation. In addition, sometimes goals can send the message that where you are right now is not good enough, potentially bringing about feelings of shame and guilt.Therefore, you have to be careful when you set goals. It is important that goals are approached in a way that improve your mood and quality of life, as opposed to increasing distress. Listed below are some tips on how to make goals less stressful. In addition to reducing distress, following these tips may also increase your likelihood of achieving goals.Break Your Goals Into Smaller GoalsLarge goals can often feel unattainable and far away. Therefore, it can be helpful to break down that larger goal in a series of smaller goals that you can achieve in the near future. Think of these smaller goals as the stepping stones that will eventually take you towards the larger goal you have set for yourself.Think About What is Driving Your GoalsWhen we set large goals that may take some time to achieve, we can sometimes forget why we set that goal in the first place. As a result, we may lose motivation in attempting to achieve that goal. To counter this, try to think of why you set this goal. What kind of values are driving your pursuit of this goal?For example, let's say that you set the goal of getting a college degree. You may have set this goal because you value education. Likewise, you may have set this goal because you value family and know that a college education may open up a number of opportunities for more financial security for you and your family.Reward Yourself for Making ProgressOftentimes, once someone achieves a goal, they quickly move on to the next goal. Take some time to recognize your achievements. Reward yourself. Take yourself out to dinner or buy yourself a gift. Do something that marks the progress you have made.Give Yourself Permission to Change GoalsSometimes while pursuing a goal we may realize we no longer want that goal. Our interests may have changed or other goals may take priority. It can be hard not to complete a goal, especially after a lot of hard work has gone into pursuing that goal. Give yourself permission to focus attention on other goals. You are not giving up. You are just changing your focus. You will face worse consequences (low motivation, lack of interest) if you stick with the old goal despite not desiring it anymore.Watch Out for Perfectionism or High StandardsNo one is perfect and setting high standards can make goals feel even more overwhelming and difficult to attain.Setbacks will happen. This is okay. The most important thing is that you approach these setbacks with self-compassion (don't beat yourself up or blame yourself -- that will only increase your distress) and re-commit to the pursuit of your goal.Let Others Know About Your GoalsSome goals can take a tremendous amount of effort. Therefore, enlist the help of others. It can also be helpful for others to know what goals you are pursuing because they can keep you focused and committed at times when you may feel your motivation waning. Other people can also provide social support to help with anxiety and stress that may keep you from pursuing a goal.By following these tips, you will be much more likely to achieve your goals, increase your self-confidence and improve your quality of life. Goals can be very helpful; however, goals can bring about stress, anxiety and other unpleasant emotions, especially if you are already managing the demands of a mental health disorder. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that you are moving towards goals in a way that minimizes distress and maximizes success.。
2022届高考英语一轮复习阅读之七选五模拟训练
2022高考英语阅读之七选五模拟训练(A)It’s not easy to know how to help our animals, considering they can’t talk--and don’t always listen. 36When looking for a new pet, where do you start?Buying pets online is risky because you have no idea about their upbringing or health. Consider adopting from a shelter, as you will be helping pets in need. If you go to a breeder(饲养员), aim to see any animal in person and in the place where they were born, better with their mothers. 37How can you be sure the pet you pick will be the right fit?You need to spend plenty of time with your pet or he may become lonely or bored and develop problem behaviors such as chewing and barking. 38 Some humans want an energetic dog to take jogging, while others want a lapdog to watch TV with. Take the time to find the right animal for your lifestyle.How can you get him to do what you need him to?39 So it is necessary to invest time and communicate with him. Contrary to popular belief, you can teach an old dog new tricks, so if you have an older guy, it’s still worth the effort. But the earlier you start, the more likely you are to achieve results.40Elderly dogs are less able to cope with extreme temperatures. Keep them cool on hot days and away from drafts on cold ones. Place pieces of carpet or bedding whereyour dog rests to help him rise from slippery floors. Make sure to check claws, which may not wear down sufficiently with reduced activity.A. Energy level is also important.B. A dog’s intelligence can be increased through education and training.C. Here we share how to choose pets and keep them happy and healthy.D. How can you help your pets live better as they age?E. Be prepared to wait and possibly travel to find the perfect companion.F.Therefore, it’s important for us to choose a pet full of love and energy.G. So is it possible for us to get along well with our pets?(B)When I was teaching, we talked a lot about high vs. low-stakes ( 风险) writing. Recently, I’ve been thinking about friendships the same way —high and low-stakes friendships. Since the stakes might be different for men and women, I will limit this discussion to women’s friendships with men and women. 36 Friendships are high stakes when they are intimate ( 亲密的). 37 We also depend on the otherperson for support in difficult times; advice in times of conflict; and sympathy in times of regret. We feel “known” by them. The loss of a high-stakes friend is painful; it has a noticeable impact on our lives.Low-stakes friendships, on the other hand, are more casual and limited emotionally. We may play bridge or tennis together; go out for dinner with our partners.38 We don’t share any feelings or experiences t hat would make us feelemotionally fragile and we do not talk about feelings toward each other. The loss of a low-stakes friend may be regrettable, but it does not leave any mark in our lives.According to Professor Harry Stack Sullivan, the first high-stakes friendship is typically formed in pre-adolescence with a friend of the same sex, a “chum” ( 密友). Chumship is a relationship in which the other person’s interest and security become as important as one’s own.39 The preadolescent who successfully enters a chumship finds someone with whom she can share her innermost thoughts and feelings. To her chum, she can reveal what she feels to be the most terrible things about herself in an atmosphere of acceptance. Successful chumships offer an opportunity to work through disagreements and learn to compromise. 40A.But we do not feel “known”.B.What do I mean by high and low-stakes friendships?C.The formation of chumship is crucial to personality growth.D.It is a developmental stage that lays the groundwork for later relationships.E.We share feelings about important aspects of our lives and about each other.F.An end to the friendship would have a dramatic impact on our sense of well-being.G.Chumships occur during preadolescence (10-12), but they can continue muchlonger than that.(C)Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls, sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sidelinecheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders' main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport.16 A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors, is a physical activity or competition against an opponent, governed by rules and conditions, and the primary purpose of competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.17 .Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. The “fliers" are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. And just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. 18 And the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.19 Just like gymnasts, competitive cheerleaders are awarded points for difficulty, technique, and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport, so without cooperation, the first place is out of reach.So me people argue cheerleaders are just “girls in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd. 20 Cheerleaders today compete against other teams and work as hard as other athletes. Cheerleading even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.A. Cheerleaders must learn to perform in public.B. Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best.C. Cheerleading follows these guidelines, so it is a sport.D. However, competitive cheerleading is a sport.E. Cheerleading is recognized as a sport by many schools.F. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds.G. Actually, cheerleading has become as well-known a sport as football and basketball.(D)As the world seeks to slow the pace of climate change and preserve wildlife, trees undoubtedly hold a major part of the answer. Yet the mass destruction of trees--deforestation-continues, sacrificing （牺牲）the long-term benefits of standing trees for short-term gain.16 Since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been logged. About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years, and losses recently have been on the rise.So, what are the factors leading to deforestation? Farming, animal raising, mining, and drilling combined account for more than half of all deforestation. 17 Plus logging operations, which provide the world? s wood and paper products, cut down countless trees each year. Some loggers acting illegally even build roads to access more and more remote forests--which leads to further deforestation.18 Some 250 million people living in forests depend on them for survival and income—many of them among the world's rural poor. Eighty percent of Earth's land animals live in forests and deforestation threatens many species. 19 The SouthAmerican rainforest, for example, influences regional and perhaps even global water cycles, which is key to the water supply in Brazilian cities and neighboring countries.Luckily, a movement is under way to preserve existing forest ecosystems and restore lost tree cover. Organizations and activists are working to fight illegal mining and logging. As consumers, it makes sense to look for sustainably produced sources.20 .A. Yet the effects of deforestation reach much farther.B. Globally, forests are disappearing at an alarming rate.C. Wildfires and urbanization also account for a small part,D. Deforestation affects people and animals and even the wider world.E. With these joint efforts, many conservationists see reasons for hope.F. Deforestation is responsible for around 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions.G. Some deforestation is caused by a combination of human and natural factors.（E)How to Simplify Your Home Cleaning RoutineThere are many ways to clean a house, but the best methods are those that save time and effort, while avoiding poisonous cleaning chemicals. 16 Armed with these, you’ll soo n be looking for reasons to clean.Keep stuff dryWetness is the enemy when it comes to keeping bathrooms and kitchens clean because it attracts bacteria. Leave the shower door or curtain open when not in use to allow for airflow. 17 If you have dirty rags or dish cloths, hang them to drybetween laundry loads.18You know how you move your face around in a mirror, using different angles to get a clear look? The same logic applies to cleaning. Use a flashing to shine on surfaces, floors, and corners in order to spot dust and dirt you might have missed.Put tools everywhereA subtle yet effective trick: If there are cleaning brushes, rags, and solutions in every room or at least on every floor of the house, you’ll tend to jump into a job when it needs to be done. 19Never skip these two tasksIf y ou make your bed every morning, you’ll start the day with a small sense of accomplishment and end it with a sense of satisfaction. 20 Melissa Maker, owner of Toronto-based company Clean My Space, descr ibes it as “the bed of the kitchen”.A. Light the dirtB. Purchase a flashlightC. The same goes for the kitchen sink.D. Always run a fan or open a window when showering to let out steam.E. Here are some simple tricks that will make the task easier and healthier.F. With the proper tricks up your sleeve, you’ll always feel ready for the job.G. If you have to climb a flight of stairs to get the right tools, you may just ignore it.（F)Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. 16Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left―the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. 17 Eye contact consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. 18 When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.Don’t forget the impact of your voice. 19 Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity.20 As long as you adopted proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.A. It may be easier said than done.B. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.C. Become aware of your own body language, too.D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.（G)Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits.Sure,it is nice to have the additional help with chores(家庭杂务),but it also fosters so much growth,sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become.It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 1Through caring for farm animals,kids learn that in life others often come before self.2It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it o r if we are sick and tired.What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.3If the work on a farm does not get done,the operation fails.It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day,and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude.They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive.4Functioning as part of aproductive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.Additionally,farming teaches patience.5Cattle will be difficult to control.Horses will run away when you try to catch them.Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk.A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money.In spite of all that,kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.There may not be any instant reward,but in the long term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A.At the same time,they learn to work with others.B.Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.C.Children learn to be grateful to animals for eating purpose.D.Teamwork is no longer an important skill to develop and use.E.There are going to be a lot of days when things do not go your way.F.However,what they learn on a farm can also be instrumental in their future lives.G.Animals need to be fed,watered,and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.参考答案：A：CEABDB：BEACDC：DCFBGD：BCDAEE：EDAGCF：FACBDG：FGABE11。
2016高考英语阅读七选五集训(一)
2016高考英语阅读七选五集训（一）【多维精练】第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
Passage 116 Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge（隆起）structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 17 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with print er’s ink. They can be recorded easily.18 Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.19 . When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 20 Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.A. Special techniqu es are used to “develop” them.B. A fingerprint is an impression of the ridge structure.C. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.D. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.E. Some criminals may leave their fingerprints at the scene of a crime.F. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.G. Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.Passage 2Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 16 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 17 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.18 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. Tobe successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things andwill not change the way they do things.19 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his barkis worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 20A. Still, people say every dog has its day.B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.C. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.F. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medicalcare.Passage 3Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer.16 In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily,a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.Know the dangerHeat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. 17 The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.Drink plenty of water18 Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathro om frequently.19Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管), and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea.Take actionWhat should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event? Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler. 20A. Dress for the occasionB. Weather-related causesC. In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated.D. You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot.E. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.F. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.Passage 4Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tension and stress from time to time. Here are a few ways to help us manage them.16 We all think we know how to relax. But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn’t true relaxation. Depending on what you’re watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous. The same is true for alcohol, drugs or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false state of relaxation that’s only temporary. What the bod y really needsis a relaxation technique—like deep breathing, tai chi or yoga—that has a physical effect on the mind.Get enough sleep, nutrition and exercise. Get the right amount of sleep for your need—not too much or too little. Eat well—choose fruit, vegetables, low-fat proteins and whole grains for long-term energy instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine. 17 In that way, your brain and body can operate at their best.Connect with others. 18 Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, which allows us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able t o deal with it. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone.19 Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful. Choose somewhere you feel safe so that you can relax and enjoy your surroundings. Walking or hiking can offer additional benefit or exercise. Invite a friend or two—or a family member—along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well.Think positively. A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful and positive. 20A．Spend time with your friends or family.B．Express yourself to others.C．Connect with nature.D．Keep away from stress and anxiety.E．Allow yourself to dream and wish for the best.F．Exercise to send oxygen to every cell in the body.G．Choose a correct way to relax.Passage 5If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. ____16____ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does notgive it enough opportunity to become strong. ____17____ One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. ____18____, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means––practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? ____19____ Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things:they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.____20____, learn from the poor: practice remembering.A. What do you think of it?B. Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.C. But if he tells us that he has a poor memoryD. So if you want a good memoryE. When someone else says that he is poor in the healthF. Why is this?G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.Passage 6Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.16 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children –the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 17 Talking helps you move on and let go.Write your problems. 18 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 19 Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 20 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.A. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.B. When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?C. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?D. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were bor n.E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.Passage 716 Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don’t like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship (崇拜) his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher’s personality, and use h im or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better. 17Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. 18If you still can’t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships. 19 That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other.20 Your parents can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, these will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.A. Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.B. If you’re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.C. Guidance counselors have the right to blame teachers.D.

组合练(十六) 阅读理解＋阅读七选五＋短文改错Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe latest Global Hunger Index report estimates two billion people worldwide suffer from hidden hunger.People who suffer from hidden hunger have enough to eat, but the quality of their food is low.The report warns that food quality is just as important as quantity.The report lists the countries by the percentage of the population who can't have adequate intake of nutrition, children younger than five years old who weigh less than they should and the death rate of newborn b abies.It says 10 of the 14 countries with the worst scores are located south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.More than 60 percent of people there are undernourished.The percentage has doubled in the past ten years and the expected life of people there has fallen by ten years since 1990.People suffer from food insecurity and high unemployment because of climate change and lack of rain in particular.But the news was not all bad.The report says the number of children under age five who die in subSaharan Afric a has dropped since 2000, probably because of a decrease in malaria (疟疾) rate.Vietnam's score has dropped more than 75 percent since 1990.The number of underweight children in Vietnam has dropped sharply, and the number of children under age five who die has been cut in half.Eating lowquality food can hurt people as much as not getting enough food.Hidden hunger is very different from the socalled visible hunger.It means lack of micronutrient (微量元素) or vitamins in a person's diet, which can cause longt erm and great damage to their mental and physical health.And this is particularly severe for children.This kind of hunger can also weaken the immune system.It can also affect a person's mind and even cause deaths.The Global Hunger Index reports hidden hunger is happening even as levels of hunger in many developing countries decrease.People can be overweight but still suffer from hidden hunger.To keep fit, they should have a balanced diet and eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.It's high time that countries all over the world should work together to bring an end to hidden hunger.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。

Did you know that writing stories is actually good for you, too？On 23 June it is National Writing Day, an annual celebration of creative writing.____1____ What is creative writingCreative writing is based on your imagination-fiction and poetry are good examples. Fiction is written work that describes events and people the writers imagine. Fiction can include novels and short stories.____2____ Scripts (剧本) for a play, film or TV show and fan fiction count.Is it really good for meMany people find creative writing cathartic, which means they feel relaxed because they’re releasing thoughts and em otions that they’ve kept bottled up.

But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____6____Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____7____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so does the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____8____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. ____9____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____10____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface.

The first Olympics using entirely artificial snow will probably not be the last.A．But they weren’t the last.B．It is made from waterdrops.C．That’s when artificial snow comes in.D．What is artificial snow, and how is it made?E．Temperature also plays a significant role in snowmaking.F．Artificial snow can be applied into a wide range of fields.G．Artificial snow is well worth using in the Winter Olympics.It is said that honesty is the best policy. But we’re constantly disturbed by lies. Why is it important for us to avoid lying in turn? ___11___Being honest is easier than lying. Have you ever told a lie and then forgotten the details about it? Sure, you may have been able to be safe for the time being, but lies have to be maintained with even larger lies. ___12___You will be found out if you lie. ___13___ Your kids’ hamster dies and you say that it has run away. Ten years later they accidentally dig it up in the backyard and they’ll realize that you have lied. Trust in the fact that the truth always finds a way to rise to the surface.The worst truth is better than the best lie. Sometimes a lie can cause much more worries, like telling kids that their grandmother “went to sleep” instead of letting them know that she had died. If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.___14___ If someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again. Even if you spend the rest of your life sticking with honesty, the person you’ve lied to won’t ever have true faith in you again. There’s no such thing as a good lie. ___15___A．Here are some reasons why reality may be cruel.B．If you stick with the truth, you’ll always respond the same way.C．The lie that you tell will unavoidably come back around to bite you.D．You’ll have a hard time keeping track of it.E．Once trust is broken, it can never be fully regained.F．However perfect your lie is, someone will find out about it eventually.G．Let’s take a look at a few reasons why being honest i s preferable to lying.In China, people in different areas have their own ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. Especially between Northern China and Southern China, there are many differences.____16____ One is about the food on the night before the Spring Festival. In Northern China, people usually eat dumplings during this time. For luck, people may put sugar in dumplings.____17____People in the south usually eat Niangao or Tangyuan on New Year’s Eve. Both foods are also considered to bring a better life. There are many causes. For example, Northern China grows lots of wheat (小麦) while Southern China grows lots of rice.____18____People in Northern China usually love food made by wheat.____19____In Northern China, people often put up paper cuttings on windows to wish for happiness of the coming year. In many parts of the south, people no longer put up paper cuttings for the Spring Festival. Instead, they decorate their house with a kumquat (金橘) tree bearing fruit.It’s true that Northern China and Southe rn China have differences in celebrating the Spring Festival.____20____After all, many Chinese are moving from one place to another. When reaching a new place, they also bring their customs there. So now many people in Northern China also eat Tangyuan.A．Here are some examples.B．Many foods are made of rice.C．The differences bring many bad results.D．But the differences are gradually disappearing.E．As a result, people in Southern China often prefer rice.F．That way, they believe life in the next year will be “sweet”.G．China’s north and south also have a difference in New Year decorating.Many regions in China have introduced COVID-19 vaccination (接种疫苗) among children aged 3 to 11. Kids are encouraged to take it and the project is progressing, which might be important to stopping the spread of the coronavirus. ____21____Why do children get the same dosage (剂量) as adults?When children get sick, they are generally given a reduced dosage. Many parents are worried that the same COVID-19 vaccine dosage will be a burden on the small body. So there is need for proper dose in children. ____22____. The process of vaccines taking effect has no relation with the weight and body surface area of the receiver. In fact, for the majority of vaccines, the recommended doses for both babies and adults are the same.Can children have full immunity (免疫力) after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?Some parents doubt whether vaccinating children aged 3 to 11 can produce the due immune effect as their immune systems are still developing. Actually, vaccines can work exactly the same in both children and adults. The vaccine will produce a near 100 percent immune response in children.____23____ So the same vaccination strategy has been adopted for all age groups in China.____24____A vaccine has to go through a strict procedure before being widely used in a specific age group. Enough data need to be collected to get emergency use or come onto the market. So the medical experiments have to be considered in advance. China has carried out a series of such studies. Based on research resnlts, the risk of negative reactions in children is no higher than that of adults.____25____. So far the most frequently reported three negative reactions are fever, pain and tiredness. At present, the government is planning to study children as young as 6 months old in the future.A．Will the vaccine work on children forever?B．Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe for children?C．The virus was either carried by a person or with goods.D．However, the way the vaccines work differs from that of other drugs.E．Some parents find themselves having questions about the vaccination.F．This has also been proved true in medical experiments on different age groups.G．The COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 3 to 11 has been in progress for some time.Winter is connected with fun and games: snowball fights, skiing, and, every four years, the Winter Olympics. But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____26____Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____27____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so does the amo unt of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____28____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. ____29____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____30____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface.

The first Olympics using entirely artificial snow will probably not be the last.A．But they weren’t the last.B．It is made from waterdrops.C．That’s when artificial snow comes in.D．What is artificial snow, and how is it made?E．Temperature also plays a significant role in snowmaking.F．Artificial snow can be applied into a wide range of fields.G．Artificial snow is well worth using in the Winter Olympics.Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ W hat’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.____34____ It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whol e family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，theycan just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved. Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it!

G．Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions. Writing while traveling can be either professional or personal. Some people travel and write as part of their jobs, while others simply want to make the most out of their travel experience.___36___ Luckily, here are some tips for you to make writing while traveling a much easier process for yourself.___37___ For example, if you are waiting for a train, sitting on the plane, or waiting to meet people for lunch, work on your writing. You'll find that you'll have a lot of time while you' re traveling that you can take advantage of. ___38___ In an average day of traveling, you could possibly spend up to 60 minutes waiting for trains, buses, food, and other people.Journal every night before you go to bed. If you are writing to keep a diary of your destinations, writing things down in a journal every night is a good way to keep track of each individual day.___39___ Even if you're exhausted at the end of the day, force yourself to sit down for just 15 minutes and note all the emotions and excitement of the day you just had.Avoid spending too much time writing. Set a watch or a timer on your phone and do as much work as you can inside 1 to 3 hours. After that, take a break and enjoy your destination. This is especially important if your writing is task- based rather than time- based. Make sure you’ re writing as efficiently as possible. ___40___A．Establish your writing habit.B．Take advantage of “dead time”.C．Make sure you remember all the little things about your trip.D．However, you may find it difficult to write sometimes during travel.E．People often forget important details of their travel as soon as the next day.F．To make the most of this time, carry a pen and notebook everywhere you go.G．Of course, this will be less of a problem if you plan to set aside one full day each week for writing.Let’s face it: Nobody really likes doing cho res (家务) around the house. But at a certain age, our kids are old enough to start lending a hand with the housework. ____41____ But what exactlyare the benefits that young children and teenagers get from doing chores?Chores help teach life skills. They’re young now, but they won’t be kids forever! Washing clothes, cooking and cleaning the room are just some of the skills kids will need once they finally move out. ___42___ So it is really important to make kids learn them at home.Chores teach kids how to follow directions. Whether you are giving instructions to a small child or a teenager, describing what you are expecting them to do and then doing it will teach them how to follow directions.___43___ Remember, only age-proper instructions can help them learn this important skill.Chores teach responsibility and respect. Having your children clean up their own messes will give them a sense of responsibility. Task them with assisting in making the family’s meals.___44___These will help them understand all that their parents do to keep the home running smoothly and be more respectful of it.___45___Everyone in our home has their own jobs to do in order to allow our house to function. It not only lessens our own stress level and to-do list, but it teaches our kids that we all must work together as a team. They may complain, but they’ve come to understand that the chores they are tasked with each day or week are all a bigger part of keeping the family functioning. A．Chores encourage teamwork.B．They can benefit from doing this.C．Or let them sort their own clothes.D．Speak to them at a level they'll understand.E．These are also things that schools do not fully teach.F．Encouraging kids to do chores will build their confidence.G．Chores help improve planning and time management skills.4 Study Habits You Should Be PractisingWith exams, essays, projects, and many deadlines for different things, effective(有效的) study habits are necessary. ____46____ If you are in need of a bit of an improvement, keep reading for the top four study habits that you should be practicing.1. Make and use flashcards.___47___ By using flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other, you will force your brain to recall he necessary information. Even if you struggle a bit with a card, you will still be actively revising the necessary material.2. Revise, revise, revise!Many students put off studying until just before the exam, with the more hardworking students giving themselves a week or two before a test. ____48____ It’s best to revise the information a little bit every day, so that you are not upset when a test comes around.3. ___49___One of the most effective—and the most fun—methods of studying is to watch related lectures and videos in order to get more material. Watch documentaries or videos on YouTube and educational websites. You may be surprised at how much you can learn from videos, and just how much information is available online.4. Re-write your notes.Studies have shown that writing information out by hand increases your ability to remember the material. This makes the recall go hand-in-hand with muscle memory. ___50___These are the four most effective study habits, and something all successful students do. Make sure you are on top of your game by following these study methods!A．Watch related lectures and videos.B．One method of revising is to make a mind-map.C．Use these graded tests to create a new practice test.D．Having these great study habits can make things easier.E．However, it’s actually an ineffec tive method of preparing and studying.F．Flashcards are designed to improve active memory recall of information.G．You will be able to picture your written notes when you are taking the exam.【参考答案】***试卷处理标记，请不要删除1．无1、E牝2、B牝3、F牝4、A牝5、D【分析】这是一篇说明文。
2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语
2024年全国高考仿真模拟卷一英语一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)(共15题;共30分)ADuring ancient times,children didn’t have smartphones,iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty,kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold.Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet.In1999,the sport was included in the6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood,instead of paper.Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite,Tianjin kite,Weifang kite and Nantong kite,of which each has distinctive features.The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children,popular around the nation.There are two ways to play:covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄)him or,more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center.By juggling(边抛边接)the diabolo on the rope,the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle.Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game,especially popular in North China.Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage.1．Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A．To practice their feet B．To warm themselvesC．To train their skills D．To relax themselves.2．Which kites are swallow-shaped?A．Weifang kites.B．Tianjin kites.C．Beijing kites.D．Nantong kites.3．According to the passage,which one is a national intangible cultural heritage?A．Stone balls.B．Flying kites.C．Hide-and-seek.D．Playing diabolosBTechnology usually distracts us from nature.But now technology is“offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways,reviving our connection to the natural world,”wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book,The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants.All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher.Elephants, for example,communicate with each other using infrasound,a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves,with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears!Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect.After the sounds are recorded,AI is then able to determine their meaning,according to the news website Vox.There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances.Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into“a zoological version of Google Translate”.One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant.She explained how elephants“have a different signal for honeybee,which is a threat,and a different signal for human,”in an interview with Vox.“Moreover,they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,”she said.This technology can not only understand the animals,but also communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar.A research team in Germany,therefore,fed the bee language AI database system into a robot bee,allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move,Vox reported.Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes,with there being many examples of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)having been taught sign language to communicate with humans,this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom.4．What does the underlined word“decipher”most probably mean in paragraph2? A．Understand.B．Hear.C．Produce.D．Record.5．What helps baby coral choose their home?A．Infrasound.B．Sounds within human range of hearing. C．Sounds through its ears.D．Sound waves.6．What can we infer from the passage?A．Bees used dances to warn their peers of danger.B．Human fed listening devices into coral to detect it.C．Elephants have different signals for different purposes.D．Elephants can tell whether there are threatening animals around.7．Why did researchers create the robot bee?A．To collect more bee dances.B．To convey direction to bees.C．To learn the language of bees.D．To help bees search for their friends.CWhen you are travelling in Thailand,which means of transport is the best choice?You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand.It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.The most popular bikes are the little125cc Honda Dream which you can get for about150baht(铢)a day or as little as3,000baht per month,making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi.When you are in cities in Thailand,especially in Bangkok,always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads.Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表).They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good,so renting cars is another way to get around.The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable price.It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West.Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand,more expensive than American prices,but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe.In the past,Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai (泰语)only,making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.But now,the situation is improved.In a lot of places,even the farthest corners of the country,street signs are in both Thai and English.8．To a foreigner,the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a______.A．car B．taxi C．bike D．motorbike9．What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?A．To take a taxi going on the
