Passage 8Should We Get Rid of Old Devices Timely？1 We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after theygo out of style. 2 That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets —as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do thesame things.3 To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt andher colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.4 This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.5 Devices were grouped by generation.6 Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992.7 Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.8 And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.9 As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out old ones. 10“The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher.11 The average number of electronic devices rose from 4 per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. 12 We’re not just keeping these old devices—We continue to use them. 13 According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.14 So what’s the solution? 15 The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. 16 They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.一．单词和短语Words and expressionsgo out of style 过时outdated /aʊtˈdeɪtɪd/ adj.过时的；旧式的mine /maɪn/ n.矿; 矿井; 地雷; 水雷vt. & vi.开采* readout /ˈriːdaʊt/ n.读出on the scene 在场；出现；到场* cathode /ˈkæθəʊd/ n. <电>(-)阴极；负极* cathode ray tube阴极射线管tablet /ˈtæblɪt/ n.碑；药片；写字板outmoded /aʊtˈməʊdɪd/ adj.过时的* eliminate /ɪˈlɪmɪneɪt/ v.除去；剔除；淘汰二．参考译文Translation我们应该及时摒弃旧设备吗？1我们可能认为，在我们的文化习惯中，我们一见到闪闪发光的新东西就会摒弃用旧了的技术产品，但一项新的研究表明，当旧设备过时了之后我们仍然继续使用着它们。
2这对于环境以及我们的钱包而言可都不是什么好消息，因为这些过时的设备比做相同事情的新设备消耗更多的能源。
3为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，在纽约的罗彻斯特理工学院工作的凯莉.巴贝特和她的同事们跟踪调查了每个产品在它整个生命周期造成的环境代价——生命周期是指从产品所需原料的开采到我们停止使用该产品的时间。
4这个方法能揭示出自二十世纪九十年代初期以来家庭能源使用是如何变化的。
5不同的年代出现了不同的设备。
6台式电脑、最初的移动电话和盒式电视界定了1992年。
7 1997年数码相机问世。
8 MP3播放器、智能手机和液晶电视在2002年走进千家万户，之后，平板电脑和电子阅读器在2007年粉墨登场。
9然而，当我们逐渐积累了更多的设备时，我们并未扔掉我们的旧设备。
10 一位研究人员说：“客厅里的电视被新的取代了，并被搬到了孩子的房间里。
突然有一天家里的每个房间都有了一台电视”。
11每个家庭拥有的电子设备的平均数从1992年的4件变成2007年的13件。
12我们不仅仅一直保存着这些旧设备——我们还继续使用它们。
13根据巴贝特科研组的分析，内部带有阴极射线管的旧台式显示器和盒式电视是最不好的设备，它们消耗的能源以及造成的温室气体排放量在1992年到2007年这段时间内增加了一倍多。
14那么如何解决这个问题呢？15该科研组的数据只更新到2007年，但是研究人员还对以下这个问题进行了探究：如果消费者使用多功能的新电子设备——比如一个既能进行文字处理又能观看电视的平板——替换旧设备，会发生什么事？16 他们发现，更多地用平板电脑取代电视机和台式电脑进行娱乐点播观看能够减少44%的能源消耗。
三．理解Comprehension1. What does the author think of new devices？A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.2. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research？A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.3. Which of the following uses the least energy？A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.4. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.四．用另一个单词或短语替换以下摘自本文的单词或短语。

DCCBA;阅读明白得Brian knew he had been drinking more and more, but he was convinced that he'd return to more moderate drinking when he wasn't so pressured at work, and that "a few too many drinks now and then" wasn't a major problem."My wife and father were on me to stop drinking, but you know how critical andprotective family can be," said Brian. "So I blew them off."It wasn't until his friend Jack spoke up that Brian started to think differently. "That really hit home, because I wouldn't expect a friend to confront me with something that personal unless it was very important," said Brian. "Jack said he was really concerned about me. He pointed out that my personality changed after I had a few beers--that I became belligerent(寻衅的). For a normally easy-going guy, that was a dramatic change in behavior."Jack could see that Brian's numerous drinking binges(放纵) were causing problems. Brian was frequently calling into work sick and falling behind in his work, and his marriage was seriously on the ropes. Brian was teetering on the edge of disaster. "I didn't want to see a good life and a good friendship ruined," said Jack, "so I approached Brian, shared my honest observations with him, and suggested that he seek help."After a couple days of soul searching, though still reluctant, Brian took Jack's suggestion and was assessed by an addiction professional. The expert recommended that Brian check into a treatment center, and one day later Brian did so.Many people fear taking the path that Jack took. Speaking up to a friend who may have a problem with alcohol or other drugs can be a tricky undertaking.Yet it's true that a concerned friend can do a lot. Most people don't recognize they have a substance abuse problem and most don't seek help for a problem until someone close to them intervenes(干预).1.What happened to Brian according to the passage?A.He suffered from an illness called alcohol addiction.B.He changed so much that he was deserted by his family.C.He became morally corrupted drinking too much all day.D.He drank a little more than normal to escape the pressure.2.What does “that” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A. Brian’s drinking binges.B. Jack’s talk with Brian.C. Wife and father’s intervention.D. Brian’s different thoughts.3. Brian could accept Jack’s suggestions mainly because ____________.A. he found his friend was very critical and protectiveB. Jack’s suggestions were professional and persuasiveC. Jack and Brian’s family had different opinionsD. he knew his friend wouldn’t easily intervene his personal affair4. Brian’s alcohol abuse brought him many problems EXCEPT ____________.A. his refusal to listen to his familyB. his bad temper and aggressivenessC. his failure to do his work wellD. his marriage problems5.The writer narrates Brian’s story in order to ____________.A.tell us the bad results of alcohol addictionB.warn us not to fall into the habit of drinkingC.show friends have real power to interveneD.prove a friend in need is a friend indeed参考答案 1---5 A B D A CSo you think your teacher hates you?

passage11-2021高考英语阅读理解长难句精读与概要写作专练Passage 11The influence of social media on children1 Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth, amajor study warned.2 It found many youngsters now measure their status by how much public approval they getonline, often through “likes”. 3 Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on theweb.4 The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children’s CommissionerAnne Longfield. 5 She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online.6 Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13.7 The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then messaging friends—and friends of friends—to deman d “likes” for their online posts.8 The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly, and around the clock.9 Children aged 8 to 10 were “starting to feel happy” when others liked their posts. 10 However, those in the 10 to 12 age group were “concerned with how many people like their posts”,suggesting a “need” for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become.11 Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up “worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media”.12 She said, “Children are using socia l media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school. But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school.”13 As their world expanded, she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way that was “hugely damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves”.14 Miss Longfield added, “Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline, will you miss something, will you miss out, will you show that you don’t care about those people you are following, all of those come together in a huge way at once.”15 “For children it is very, very difficult to cope emotionally.” The Children’s Commissioner for England’s study—Life in Likes—found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.16 However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12—suggested that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.1718 However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities or more brilliant friendsonline. 19 The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones.20 The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield they faced online.21 And she said social media companies must also “take more responsibility”. 22 They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users.23 Javed Khan, of children’s charity Barnardo’s, said, “It’s vital that new compulsory age- appropriate relationship and sex educ ation lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social med ia.”24“It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.”一．单词和短语Words and expressionsself-worth /?self ?w?:θ/n. 自我价值感youngster /?j??st?/ n. 年轻人commissioner /k??mn?/ n. 专员; 委员ill-equipped /??l??kw?pt/ adj. 装备不良的tremendous /tr??mend?s/ adj. 巨大的; 极好的supposedly /s??p??z?dl?/ adv. 据称; 据传around the clock 昼夜不停地mean-spirited /?mi:n?sp?r?t?d/ adj.小气的; 小心眼的incompetence /?n?k?mp?t?ns/ n. 不胜任minefield /?ma?nfi?ld/ n. 布雷区; 充满隐伏危险的事物sign up 签约参加；报名参加charity /?t??r?t?/ n. 慈善；施舍；慈善团体二．参考译文Translation社交媒体对孩子的影响1一项重要的研究警告称，年仅10岁的儿童为了获得自我价值感而变得依赖社交媒体。

Passage 7The Importance of Vaccination1 Measles, which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearlywiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine. 2 Butthe disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement andmisinformation that is spreading quickly. 3 Already this year, 115 measles cases have beenreported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.4 The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend.5 When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. 6This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccin ated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.7 But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. 8 When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.9 That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.10 The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. 11 Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.12 Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. 13 Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption, sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.14 Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. 15 But no one does enough to limit exemptions.16 Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. 17 But personal opinions? Not good enough.18 Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.一．单词和短语Words and expressions* measles /ˈmiːzlz/ n. <医>麻疹;* vaccine /ˈvæksiːn/ n. 疫苗make a comeback 卷土重来* anti-vaccine movement 反疫苗运动misinformation /ˌmɪsɪnfəˈmeʃn/ n. 错误信息* the leading edge 前缘；领先地位* herd immunity /hɜːd/ /ɪˈmjuːnɪtɪ/群体免疫a free ride免费搭车；占便宜；坐享其成selfishly /ˈselfɪʃlɪ/ adv.自私地；* opt /ɒpt/ vi. 选择* opt out 决定退出* exemption /ɪɡˈzempʃn/ n.免除二．参考译文Translation1通过广泛接种麻疹疫苗，麻疹于14年前几乎在美国绝迹（麻疹曾经致使每年平均有450名儿童丧命，更多的人残疾）。

Passage 2Do Plants Talk to Each Other?1 When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly.2 Back in 1983,two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple treesgetting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plantscan get. 3 These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seemto be an alarm. 4 What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicalsknown as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.5 Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked.6 It’s a plant’s way of crying out.7 But is anyone listening？Apparently.8 Because we can watch the neighbors react.9 Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. 10 But others do double duty. 11 They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. 12 Once they arrive, the tables are turned. 13 The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.14 In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. 15 The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.16 Does this mean that plants talk to each other？Scientists don’t know. 17 Maybe the first plant just madea cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. 18 Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. 19 So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.20 Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate than the world we can see and hear. 21 Our senses are weak. 22 There’s a whole lot going on.一．单词和短语Words and expressions* leafy /ˈliːfɪ/ adj.叶茂盛的；多叶的；for short简称；缩写* perfume /ˈpɜːfjuːm/ n.香水；香味vt.洒香水于…；使…带香味in effect 实际上* overhear /əʊvəˈhɪə/ vt. & vi.无意中听到intentional /ɪnˈtenʃnəl/ adj.存心的；故意的* intimate /ˈɪntɪmət/ adj.亲密的；关系紧密的vt.暗示；透露intentionally /ɪnˈtɛnʃənəlɪ/ adv.有意地；故意地* a whole lot 许多二．参考译文Translation植物会互相交流吗？1当一株绿叶植物受到攻击时，它不会坐以待毙。

Passage 8Should We Get Rid of Old Devices Timely？1 We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style.2 That’s bad news for theenvironment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy thanthe newer ones that do the same things.3 To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues atthe Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs foreach product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. 4 This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. 5 Devices were grouped by generation. 6 Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. 7 Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. 8 And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.9 As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out old ones. 10“The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher.11 The average number of electronic devices rose from 4 per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. 12 We’re not just keeping these old devices—We continue to use them. 13 According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.14 So what’s the solution? 15 The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. 16 They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.一．单词和短语Words and expressionsgo out of style 过时outdated /aʊtˈdeɪtɪd/ adj.过时的；旧式的mine /maɪn/ n.矿; 矿井; 地雷; 水雷vt. & vi.开采* readout /ˈriːdaʊt/ n.读出on the scene 在场；出现；到场* cathode /ˈkæθəʊd/ n. <电>(-)阴极；负极* cathode ray tube阴极射线管tablet /ˈtæblɪt/ n.碑；药片；写字板二．参考译文Translation我们应该及时摒弃旧设备吗？1我们可能认为，在我们的文化习惯中，我们一见到闪闪发光的新东西就会摒弃用旧了的技术产品，但一项新的研究表明，当旧设备过时了之后我们仍然继续使用着它们。

2021届高考英语阅读理解长难句精读与概要写作专练passage1Passage 1The Friendship Between Paul Newman and Me1 I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy andthe Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. 2When the studio didn’t want me forthe film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. 3I don’t knowhow many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studiopowers.4 The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting fouryears later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. 5We were respectful of craft and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. 6 Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. 7 Those were also at the core of our relationship off the screen.8 We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. 9 Paul and I didn’t see each other all t hat regularly, but sharing that brought us together. 10 We supported eachother financially and by showing up at events.11 I last saw him a few months ago. 12 He’d been in and out of the hospital. 13 He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t tal k about it. 14 Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.一．单词和短语Words and expressionsstudio /?stju?d/ n.工作室；播音室；制片厂stand up for 支持；拥护have root in 起源于dig into 钻研；掘进去* underlying /?nd??la/ adj.潜在的；根本的；在下面的；* core /k??/ n.中心；核心 adj. 主要的；基本的show up 露面；露出；揭露二．参考译文Translation我和保罗.纽曼之间的友谊1我第一次见到保罗.纽曼是在1968年。
