Major causes of record fires sweeping across the Amazon rainforest this month include the dry season and human activities, according lo research institutions and media reports.

The rainforest is typically wet and humid, and the frequency of fire activity usually rise each year since July—the onset of the dry season, and peaks in September and decreases in October as the rainy season approaches.

However, data from the Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) showed that the number of forest fires in Brazil soared by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago, and over half of those fires occurred in the Amazon rainforest. A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2019 , up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018, the Inpe said.

Human activities have led to the recent increase of fires , some experts have noted. Tlie view was

echoed by many, though they were divided over who actually conducted the activities. On Friday evening , Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro pledged "zero tolerance'* of environmental crimes, adding t ha t the Armed Forces troops and resources will be mobilized from Saturday to help put out the fires.

Earlier this week, Bolsonaro blamed non-governmental organizations for increasing wildfires in the Amazon rainforest in the country's north. His claim was refuted (反驳)by environmentalists , who argued that the surge of fires was a result of increasing deforestation and burning fuelled by the governments anti-environmental policy. Alberto Setzer, an Inpc researcher, told local news site G1 that all the fires are results of human activities some accidental while others intentional.

Scientists and environmental groups are worried that the fires will aggravate climate change crisis and threaten biodiversity. The emergency has now transcended (越过)Brazil's borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan and Bolivian regions.

X.What is the main idea of the text?

B.The text aims to arouse humans' awareness of protecting the Amazon.

C.The text is intended to call on people to help the Amazon.

D.The text is expected to warn other countries of the Amazon fires.

Y.Which of the followings is not the main causes of the Amazon's fires?

A.Thc dry weather.

B.The intentional deforestation.

C.The natural disasters.

D.Some accidental human activities.

Z.What can we infer from Paragraph Tliree?

A.Similar to that in 2018 , the frequency of fire activity will peak in September in 2019.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/865881343.html,pared with those in 2018 , fires have happened more frequently in the first eight montlis in 2019.

C.There arc more fires in 2019 than in 2018.

D.All of the big fires have happened in the Amazon rainforest.

AA.What may Alberto Setzer agree with?

A.Non-govcmmental organizations arc responsible for wild fires in the Amazon rainforest.

B.The Amazon rainforest fires may be attributed to human activities.

C.We should pledge "zero tolerance" of environmental crimes.

D.The fires will influence Brazil's bordering countries.

stepped behind Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The

moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack* those two boys grabbed the sack and held it

open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand

and supported her briefly until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.

Amid the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, 1 thanked Heaven for the warm

understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human

第二节概要写作(满分25分)

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Once upon a time, eating alone was just that: sitting down in a restaurant on one's own and eating a meal. Everyone did it sometimes, and when they did so they might be a little embarrassed. To cat alone might suggest that you didn't have any family or friends, or didn't like people. There was a kind of shame attached to it. Nowadays, however, there is more and more solitary eating.

People choose to eat alone for various reasons. "Foodies'*—people who have a passionate interest in different cuisines -do it because all they need for their pleasure is the chance to eat good food. They don't want company or conversation, but only the joy of eating some special dish.

Other people eat alone because it's simply practical for them to do so. For instance, it's estimated that nearly a third of all the customers of fast-food restaurants eat alone. They arc served with their food fast, cat it fast and then leave fast- because they have a meeting to make or a child to pick up from school.

But fbr others, the appeal of eating alone is quite diflerent. It's an experience of freedom. For the hour that it takes to have a meal, they can forget all the pressures of their lives. For a brief window, they don* t have to deal with their family or job. They can relax and let their mind wander. Maybe they will bring a book, a newspaper or perhaps they will shyly spy on the people around them. Part of the appeal of this new trend is surely that a meal taken alone is like a little holiday from the busyness of modem life, in which we have so much to do all the time. David Annand. editor of Us-based Conde Nast Traveler magaz ine, who delights in dining alone, peaks of his pleasure in the “rhythm of a meal in a restaurant—its ebb and flow (人来人往),the regular arrival and departure of the waiter." Tliis restaurant rhythm allows him and others, he writes, to sit back, observe, and think.

I* m eagerly writing to inform you of my success in the English speech contest.

It' s indeed a pleasant surprise for me to rank first among so many excellent contestants. But without your patient guidance, I couldn ' t have made so great an achievement.

Thank you very much and wish you all the best.

概要要点(详见ppt)

Though eating alone was embarrassing and shameful in the past, currently solitary eating has become a new trend for particular reasons. Food enthusiasts seek for the pure joy of delicious dishes. Some people eat alone for efficiency in their fast-paced life. But others do it for freedom and leisure as they can escape from the whirl of modern life.

The movement was so sudden(23)________several passengers felt sick and had to use airsickness bags.(24)________you might guess,that’s not good thing to happen in a narrow space because it only serves to increase the discomfort of the situation.

高三英语周测试题

虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater:The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow

河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)

第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A It’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies". Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically(内在地)motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard. Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image. Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations. Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.

2018届上海市各高中学校高三英语试题分类汇编--阅读理解B篇(带答案精确校对)

Section B Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (B) With the coming of big data age, data science is supposed to be starved for, of which the adaption can point a profound change in corporate competitiveness. Companies, both born-in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science. Therefore, it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type. Mr Carlos Guestrin, machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need inbuilt intelligence within five years, making data scientists—people trained to analyze large bodies of information — key workers in this emerging “cognitive” technology economy. There are already critical applicat ions that depend on machine learning, a subfield of data science, led by recommendation programs, fraud detection system, forecasting tools and applications for predicting customer behavior. Many companies that are born digital—particularly internet companies that have a great number of real-time customer interactions to handle—are all-in when it comes to data science. Pinterest, for instance, maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be applied to different classes of problems, and it constantly fields request from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem. The most important factor weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of launching a serious machine-learning operation. Netflix is estimated to spend $150m a year on a single application and the total bills is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account. Another problem for many non-technology companies is talent.Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle, only about 1000 have deep learning skills, compared to 100,000 who can apply other machine learning techniques, says Mr Goldbloom. He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expend their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field. A third barrier to adapting to the coming era of “smart” applications, however, is likely to be
