阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My carpenter is a competent, even gifted craftsman. But my house still makes him feel hopeless. It was 1 well over a century ago. My carpenter’s 2 to me: “Move out.”What he doesn’t 3 is that I like it here. It’s my home’s imperfections that make it interesting.
This very thought 4 me just the other day while I was sitting at the counter in a bar. The bar opened in 1931, and little about its 5 has changed over the years. The long countertop has been worn down to its bedrock so much. Once a visitor asked the owner 6 why he hadn’t 7 it. Not missing a beat and being a man after my own heart, the 8 remarked, “Do you know how many elbows it took to get it this way?” That’s it, then. An imperfect product, like a perfect one, is also the 9 of our labor, and as such it needs to be 10 for what it is, rather than what it isn’t.
I’m certain that, at root, my carpenter 11 realizes this. Recently, while making a new skylight (天窗) in my home, he 12 wood and had to take a piece from my scrap (废料) pile. The “problem” was that my son, when he was little, had burned his name into the board with a magnifying glass. “I’m sorry I had to use scrap,” said the carpenter as we looked up at the burned 13 , “but I didn’t think you’d 14 . Does it look OK?”
“Oh yes,” I assured him as I admired his handiwork. “It’s 15 .”

Dear George,
I hope you’re doing well. Receiving your letter is such a refresh since I’m fully engaged in preparing for the exam.
As for my major, I will choose Medicine, which, I know, is a long-term commitment and a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. But being able to cure people or even save people’s lives is so rewarding. Though doctors are faced with much stress, my passion about healthcare and helping people tells me that I cannot go wrong with studying and working in Medicine and Health. Besides, doctors are highly respected in China and in great demand too, especially highly qualified professionals.
Sincerely hope my dream will come true soon. Best wishes. (113 words)

In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____1____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They areless exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.____2____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one’s ability to deal with problems and hardships.____3____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____4____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one’s life. It doesn’t have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____5____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one’s physical and mental health.A. It doesn’t cause any severe emotional discomfort, either.B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect.C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations.D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.E. As thinking changes, an individual’s behaviour and habits change as well.F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small.三. 完形填空Normal people can hardly imagine what kind of pain orphans feel while growing up – being abandoned, disliked, and laughed at.

【高考英语每日一练】精选小练习附答案解析(限时45分钟)
【高考英语每日一练】精选小练习附答案解析（限时45分钟）一．阅读理解AMark Twain (1835—1910)—we've all heard the name, but what makes him “the father of American literature” as classic US author William Faulkner once called him?Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that this work is more wonderful than you could have ever imagined.The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For instance, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it，” he writes in one chapter.Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That's why he is so loved in the US—he wasn't afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.For instance, Twain didn't like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded(入侵) the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to rule the people of the Philippines…”He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”，in 1901.“Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young，” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.1．After reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think ________ according to the author.A．it's not worth all the praise B．it's even better than you expectedC．it's as wonderful as you expected D．it's better to read it with teachers2．In the third paragraph, the author mainly ________．A．indicates what makes Tom Sawyer's adventures so wonderfulB．explains where Twain's idea of childhood comes fromC．shows how naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer isD．gives a brief description of the novel3．What does the underlined word “mock” in Paragraph Four mean?A．Make fun of. B．Show respect for.C．Give examples of. D．Give reasons for.4．Twain is so loved in the US because ________．A．he showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would loveB．he criticized American culture and society clearly and cleverlyC．he wrote bad things about US wars abroadD．he supported women's right to voteBA man came home from work late, tired and irritated to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door."Daddy, may I ask you a question?""Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man."Daddy, how much do you make an hour?""That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily."I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy."If you must know, I make $20 an hour.""Oh," the little boy replied with his head down. Looking up, he said,"Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"The father was furious. “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened thedoor. "Are you asleep son?" he asked."No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy."I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.“It's been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you, daddy!" he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again."You are really selfish! Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled with an angry look on his face.The little boy slowly counted out his money and then looked up at his father, replying, "Because I didn't have enough before, but now I do."Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation. Wiping his tear from his eyes, the boy requested in a quiet voice, "Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." Hearing the boy's small but sincere request, the father couldn't help shedding tears. Realizing he was too busy with his business to spare some time with his beloved ones, he gathered his son into his arms and apologized, "Sorry, son. I promise I'll be back early tomorrow."5. When the man came home from work late, he _____.A.was tired but happyB. was tired and angry at his son's questionC. was tired but happy to find his son waiting for him at the doorD. was tired and angry to find his son waiting for him at the door6. The little boy asked the question _____.A. because he wanted to have dinner with his fatherB. in order to borrow some money from his father to buy somethingC. because he wanted to buy a toyD. because he was just curious to know7. After an hour or so the man went to the little boy's room and _____.A. saw if the boy was asleepB. asked him what he needed to buy with that $10C. said sorry to his sonD. gave $10 to his son8. From this passage we can infer that _____.A. the boy would like to have dinner with his fatherB. the boy often asked for money to buy some nonsenseC. the boy loved his father very muchD. the man would get even angrier at last七选五The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. ____9____Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort. Here are the four steps you can follow to form good habits.Set your goal.Before you can begin to work on your new habit, it is worthwhile to consider yourgoal._____10_____Make sure that your goal is specific, measurable and realistic to increase your chances of success.___11___Having good habits that are in line with the goals can improve your chances of achieving your goals.

Consider what good habit would help you achieve that goal.Consider your motivation.Once you have identified your goal and the new habit you need to achieve this goal, take some time to consider your motivation.____12___Good motivation can be the difference between success and failure in terms of forming a new habit. So take your time to consider your motivation.Give yourself time.Forming a new habit can take a long time. Some people can form a new habit in as little as a few weeks, while other people will take several months.

高三下学期英语限时练4
新沂三中2023届高三英语限时练（4）限时：40分钟一、阅读理解AAllowing women to give birth in hospital with their pet dog by their side could make them less anxious, one of the first women to use a “birth dog” has said.Charlotte Beard, 24, who suffers from non-epileptic seizures, was supported through her 50-hour labour by her aid pet Flump, who is trained to detect seizures before they happen.Flump was prepared for the birth by being played audio tracks of babies crying at home and being introduced to staff at the maternity ward (产房) in Poole hospital. Beard joked. “He was visiting the maternity hospital on a very regular basis, getting to know staff, getting to know the different rooms and the setups.”It is a legal requirement that assistance dogs are allowed into hospitals, but Beard said a lot of hospitals were not aware of this.“It would have caused high levels of anxiety if Flump was not there,” she said. “I would have certainly been more concerned about my safety.”“I am not suggesting that if I were to have a seizure, staff would not have been able to look after me. But no staff member can detect beforehand whether you are going to have a seizure or not. That is something that Flump can do that nobody else can, and it gives them such valuable time to make sure that I am safe and have the right support in place before it happens. Prevention is always much better than treatment.”Beard got Flump at 10 weeks and has trained him since then. “From a human standpoint I cannot help but think how lovely it is that Flump was there. He was one of the first to see Alfie,” Beard said. “Being present there from the birth and meeting Alfie within moments of him being born, whether it has increased the bond or not, it was such a lovely experience for everyone. Flump was absolutely besotted (痴恋) with Alfie from the moment he first saw him.”1. Why did Beard have an assistance pet present during birth?A. To cure her disease.B. To monitor the doctors.C. To ease her anxiety.D. To keep the door.2. What was the assistance dog trained to do before doing the job?A. Understand human voices.B. Get familiarized with the hospital.C. Play music for babies.D. Learn about medical devices.3. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?A. Detecting the disease.B. Medical treatment.C. Looking after the patient.D. A seizure.4. What does Beard think of future bond between the dog and her son?A. It will be close.B. It will be tense.C. It needs improving.D. It is hard to say.BEven tree-planting can increase health risks to local human populations if it focuses too narrowly on a small number of species, as is often the case in commercial forests. Outbreaks of infectious diseases are more likely in areas of monoculture plantations, according to a new study.The researchers of the study said this was because diseases are filtered (过滤) and blocked by a range of predators (食肉动物) and habitats in a healthy, biodiverse forest. When this is replaced by a palm oil plantation or soy fields, the specialist species die off, leaving generalists such as rats and mosquitoes to thrive (繁殖) and spread pathogens across human and non-human habitats. The net result is a loss of natural disease regulation.The researchers examined the correlation between trends for forest cover, plantations, population and disease around the globe using statistics from international institutions such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organization. Over the period of study from 1990 to 2016, this covered 3,884 outbreaks of 116 diseases that crossed the species barrier and 1,996 outbreaks of 69 vector-borne infectious diseases, mostly carried by mosquitoes, ticks or flies.The new study adds to a growing body of evidence that viruses are more likely to transfer to humans or animals if they live in or near human-disturbed ecosystems. This is shaped by trade patterns and consumer behaviour. A quarter of global forest loss is driven by the production of commodities such as beef, soy, palm oil and wood fibre.Morand, lead-author of the study, said his study showed that disease risks need to be added to risk-benefit analysis of new projects. “We should take the costs of public health into account when considering new plantations. The risks are first to local people, but thenworldwide because we have seen with Covid how quickly diseases can spread.”Morand is now working on a more detailed study that will use satellite analysis of forest cover to examine links with disease. With more information, he believes it may be possible to predict future outbreaks and to work with local communities to build ecologically diverse and economically productive landscapes that reduce the risks.5. Why are outbreaks of infectious diseases more likely in areas of monoculture plantations?A. The specialist species are wiped out by their predators.B. Biodiversity decline destroys natural disease regulation.C. Local human populations have no knowledge of health risks.D. Commercial forests provide food for disease-carrying insects.6. How did the researchers get their findings?A. By conducting data analysis.B. By referring to another study.C. By making field investigation.D. By consulting authoritative agencies.7. What does Morand intend to do by his words in paragraph 5?A. Criticize policy-makers.B. Offer a solution to Covid.C. Make a suggestion.D. Support evidence for her findings.8. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning Morand-led study?A. Its theoretical basis.B. Its appeal to the public.C. Expectations for future studies.D. Researchers with new perspectives.第二节(共5小题;每小题分,满分分)If you’re going travelling after university or as a career break, an extended period of time of unemployment can leave a gaping hole in your CV. ____1____ As long as you plan your trip carefully and think about what you can do, travelling can actually boost your CV and career.Recharge you batteriesIf you’ve just spent three or four years at university, or working without a break, then you’ll need to recharge your batteries.

高二英语40分钟限时训练（提高练）01 解析版一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses.I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right.Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.”1．The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________.A．wanted to know if they had the same problemB．didn’t believe his daughter had the problemC．had to take a regular medical examinationD．accepted that his daughter was not smart2．We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________.A．struggled and got better gradesB．didn’t work hard when he was youngC．was praised for overcoming dyslexiaD．was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier3．According to the passage, a dyslexic person________.A．is less intelligent B．always fails in schoolC．reads more slowly than normal people D．performs worse in left-brain activities4．What can we learn from the story?A．Clumsy birds have to start flying early.B．God shuts one door but opens another.C．Never judge a person by his appearance.D．No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B【分析】本文是记叙文。

It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. It's the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it's a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually(2003)While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.Home Alone(1990)This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While other family members are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch an 8-year-old boy beat two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street(1994)You can't have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. It's not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It's about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer anda little girl. The story line may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age1.Which film is adapted from a fairy tale?A. The Grinch.B. Home AloneC. Love Actually.D. Miracle on 34th Street.2.What is Home Alone mainly about?A. An unsuccessful family vacation.B.A boy protecting his home by himself.C.A terrible suffering of a little boy.D.

Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”；10. Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?A．Mild. B．Destructive. C．Uncontrollable. D．Impressive.；11. What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1?A．The death number. B．The heat wave.C．The wind speed. D．The citywide blackout.；12. What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable?A．The entire island is covered with sand. B．It is one of the low-lying communities.C．The residents there can't wait to leave. D．Over half of its buildings were in ruins.；13. What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov. John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana?A．Ambitious B．Undoubted. C．Indifferent. D．Unconfident.CPangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a u nique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especiallyAfri can communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.14. What is the purpose of the documentary?A．To study the situation of pangolins.B．To collect fund to protect pangolins.C．To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D．To propose setting up pangolin reserves.15.
