阅读理解+七选五限时组合练1(限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解APeppa Pig,a British preschool animated TV series,has undergone an amazing journey to Chinese culture and China’s market.2015In June,the Peppa Pig TV series was introduced to the Chinese market by Entertainment One and first aired on the CCTV Children’s Channel.Shortly after its publications,Peppa Pig attracted billions of viewers① on social media platforms like iQIYI,Youku and Tudou.2016The Peppa Pig TV series was broadcast on the CCTV Children’s Channel for a second round.It also gained more viewers on the Golden Eagle Animation Channel,Hunan TV.2017The phrase “Peppa Pig Girl” became one of the hottest buzzwords(流行用语) on China’s Internet.It refers to a girl who holds a positive attitude toward life even though she tends to be lazy in her dailylife.She might look a bit silly and often have tasty food as a top priority② on her mind.2018Rumours claimed that Peppa Pig was banned from③ Douyin,China’s major video sharing platform,saying it “violates the community regulations and has not passed censorship(审查制度).In May,however,representatives from Douyin said the app was not forbidding Peppa Pig.2019According to Entertainment One,more than 40 million Peppa Pig books have been sold since its second round broadcast on CCTV.In the year of the pig,more companies are adding Peppa-themed elements to their products for promotion.1.Since ,more than 40 million Peppa Pig books have been sold.A.2015B.2016C.2017D.20182.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Peppa Pig’s greatest effect in China.B.Peppa Pig’s high economic value in China.C.The causes of the great popularity of Peppa Pig TV series.D.The introduction of Peppa Pig to the world.3.What can we learn about Peppa Pig according to the passage?A.The TV series was first broadcast on Hunan TV.B.Food is the favorite of a Peppa Pig Girl,who is silly.C.The year of the pig will help promote the sales of the Peppa-themed products.D.Peppa Pig was banned in Douyin because it broke the law.BAt the age of seven,while his friends were spending their allowances④ on things like candy and toys,Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人) to do the same,the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank,the Bartselana Student Bank,which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.Set up in 2012,the bank is the world’s first bank for kids.To become a member,a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted,all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables⑤on a monthly basis⑥ and observe other requirements,such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies,who,thanks to Jose’s efforts,pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members.The money received is placed inthe personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached.The account holder can then withdraw the money⑦,or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.“At the beginning,my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls.“They do not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily,I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”The boy’s efforts paid off,and by 2013,the bank had over 200 members,who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today,the eco-bank,which now has the support of several local institutions,has ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3,000 students,aged 10 to 18,to become financially independent,use their money wisely,and help the environment.Not surprisingly,Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20,2018,Jose won Children’s Climate Prize,which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.4.Why did Jose set up the bank?A.To raise money and set up a recycling company.B.To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.C.To save much money and protect the environment.D.To educate the students and help them win prizes.5.How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank at first?A.By donating to the eco-bank.B.By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.C.By sending in an application.D.By presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste.6.How did the teachers feel about Jose’s program at first?A.Doubtful.B.Excited.C.Moved.D.Worried.7.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The improvement of the environment.B.The achievement of the project.C.The amount of the waste that has been recycled.D.The support the local institutions get.CWe humans love to stare into our smart devices⑧.We look steadily for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us?It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of⑨ energy.While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances⑩,there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think itis,which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr.Rahul Khurana,clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists,told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover,blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isn’t harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens?The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):more than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light,it seems,isn’t thecause.Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.8.What do we know about blue light?A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B.It has the shortest wavelength.C.It may come from electronic devices.D.It consumes a great deal of energy.9.What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses?A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B.Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.C.Widespread use of smart devices.D.Scientific understanding of blue light.10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.11.According to the text,wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be.A.tiringB.harmfulelessD.beneficialDSolar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy,but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板) can go.A new kind of solar cel made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿) can go almost anywhere,says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz.We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the buildings,on the roofs of the buildings,on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices.We can use it on the sails.We can use it in the balls,tents and unlimitedapplication.Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panelresearchers.Because it can be printed,and everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer(喷墨打印机).She co-founded a company to produce them,called Soleil Technologies,after the Baltic sun goddess.Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters.Adam Targowski is the sustainable(可持续的) development manager for Skanska.They work perfectly,even when they are not well exposed to sunlight.So we can use them in all surfaces of the buildings.Soleil calculates that about one square meter ofpanel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights.And they keep getting better as research continues,says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies,it took decades to really enter markets.Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research,so there is still a lot to be done,but potential is basically pretty much unlimited,I think.There are still durabilit and other problems to work out,but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.12.What do we know about the perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A.It’s delicate.B.It’s complex.C.It’s flexible.D.It’s expensive.13.What does the underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Skanska and Adam Targowski.B.Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C.Soleil Technologies.D.Perovskite panels.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B.Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C.Perovskite has been studied for decades.D.Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.15.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how to use perovskite panels.B.To introduce perovskite panels.C.To advertise a new solar power cell.D.To advise scientists to further study perovskite cells.Ⅱ.七选五Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimis.16 This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life.17—The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunligh.About midway through the day,I left work to get some lunch.Still feeling

高考英语阅读七选五(附答案)(参考)_1
高考英语阅读七选五(附答案)一、考点精要【授之以渔】近年来，高考的阅读明白增加了七选五题型，试题模式为：给出一篇缺少5个句子的文章，对应有七个选项，要求同学们依照文章结构、内容，选出正确的句子，填入相应的空白处。
该题型要紧考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的明白和掌握。
其命题体现了《新课标》“用英语猎取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步猎取用英语思维的能力。
”的阅读学习和教学理念。
《考试讲明》对该题型命题目的的表述“要紧考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的明白和掌握。
”新题型七选五事实上跟传统题型完形填空有相似之处，完形填空空出的是词，而七选五空出的是句子，然而他们的考察方式基本上一样的，只要考生挑选的答案可以使行文连贯，符合英文的语法以及适应表达就行，所以，这两类题型在做题办法上有共通之处。
二、解题技巧【名师坐堂】从该题型给出的选项中我们能够发觉一些特点：该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。
另外两个多余的干扰项也能够经过这三个特点来排除，例如主旨概括句要么过于宽泛要么以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子别能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。
依照这些，我们总结一些对于七选五的做题办法供大伙儿参考。
1.先看选项。
跟完形填空别一样，七选五的答案选项较少，同时给出的基本上句子，所以，我们能够经过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来推断该句在文章中的位置。
另外，经过阅读选项，有也许找出跟其他选项表达彻底别接受思的句子，如此的话我们就能够直截了当将该选项排除。
2.通读全文对文章举行快速扫瞄，寻觅主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。
在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段降，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句普通是全文的主题所在，讲明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式举行呈现。

It's worthwhile to think about all of the ways the youth can get involved.—Take time to give them meaningful feedback and build their selfconfidenceIt can be difficult to find time to meet with the youth individually, but it is important. Plan to meet regularly with core leaders and be on the lookout for impromptu (即兴的) individual meetings. __2__. Further plans can be discussed during the meetings and the youth can have more courage.—Opportunities are when the youth lead projects or activitiesSometimes it's hard to take a step back and play the supportive role, but it is the only way to develop leaders authentically (真正地). But sometimes you ask a youth to take ownership of a task and then decide to do it yourself. __3__. When leaders do not come through with an assignment, it's important to hold them accountable. The youth will feel accomplished after working hard and grow up.—__4__Training can be facilitated with inhouse staff or an outside resource person, so the youth feel confident in their knowledge and skills.

This allows students to build confidence, enabling them to keep going when the going gets rough. __2__.• Encourage experimentationWithout risktaking and experimentation, many of the technological advancements that have occurred in the last couple of decades would not be possible. Many of these innovations (新方法，新发明) were created by people who were told that their ideas wouldn't work and their response was, “Let's try it and see.”__3__. By experimenting and taking risks during learning activities students can form this attitude.• __4__STEM education can be taught to students of all ability levels. Students of varying levels of ability can work together in teams to find solutions to problems, record data, write reports, give presentations, etc. The result is students who understand how to cooperate with others and develop team spirit.Promote tech use• __5__.

As a person repeatedly acquires stimuli to make his brain work, these stimuli are remembered by the brain. It is like learning words as a child. He applies all the repeated words he has heard during his life.__4__The third technique is about the application of body movements.

Sometimes we're told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee.__1__，rather than how society looks at you, according to a USbased business magazine. Here are three ways to start developing a more modest personality.(1) Stop questioning your worthBeing mildmannered does not contradict recognizing your worth, because you'll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Humility will then come as a natural consequence. __2__. Worth shouldn't be measured by what you compete for in society. Rather, it's your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are.(2) __3__Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work. __4__. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision.Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across. You'll gradually realize that either a step forward or backward won't affect your value.(3) Accept uncertainty__5__. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as the band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it. Furthermore, appreciating the unknown instead of fearing it is also a way to reduce stress.A．Be eager and flexibleB．Be determined and hardworkingC．Develop a healthier relationship with uncertaintyD．Uncertainty is a doubleedged sword in many casesE．Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside variablesF．This can allow you to interact with the people around you in new waysG．The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings。

高考英语阅读七选五题型专项练习10篇(附答案)-(1)
高考英语阅读七选五专项训练（10题）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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829． 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth． 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent． 4 ．By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion．5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States．B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．D．However, he did not get much business for those products．E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it．专项练习二Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations．They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago． 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses．2 So they arecalled "diseases of civilization"．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 3 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A．Stone Age people lived a simple life.B．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C．In that case, they would live much healthier.D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".专项练习三For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single – elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little –known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.专项练习四Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more.

Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “li fe-enriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and serv ices, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A．Then a third level appeared.B．Human wants seem endless.C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G．Different people have different wants on each level.专项练习六We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble（结结巴巴）over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over.

Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2. ___ Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D.

Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.专项练习八Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (积极性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all –white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown –eyed people were cleverer than blue –eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue –eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore（忽略）others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.专项练习九The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones.

2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读 专项练习题10篇(含答案)
2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读专项练习题10篇AIn the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies the tiny island nation of Tuvalu，the fourth smallest country in the world. This group of four islands and five atolls (islands made from coral) is famous for its sandy beaches and turquoise (蓝绿色的) waters and has long been a popular tourist destination for nearby New Zealanders. However, the nation of Tuvalu is at risk of soon no longer existing; not because of war or political change, but because it will be covered by the rising ocean.Tuvalu is experiencing the harmful effects of global warming. As global temperatures rise, so does the ocean temperature. Due to the scientific law of “thermal expansion,” when water heats it get bigger. 1．Most experts claim that the effects of climate change will make Tuvalu uninhabitable within the next 50 years. Problems are already emerging. As sea levels rise, ocean water containing high levels of salt is travelling further and further inland destroying the little amount of soil Tuvaluans have to grow crops.Even before Tuvaluans began to suffer from the effects of climate change, lift on Tuvalu was tough. 2．Most of the land on an atoll is rock-hard arid any soil that exists on it is usually thin and poor for growing crops. The nation has always had to import food apart from fish.More serious than Tuvalu’s lack of home-grown food has been its lack of drinking water.3．Therefore, Tuvaluans depend almost entirely on rainwater for their water needs. Unfortunately, due to a geographical phenomenon known as La Nina, Tuvalu often suffers from long periods of drought. In autumn 2010, after seven months of no rain, the Prime Minister had to declare a state of emergency riot only because of a lack of drinking water, but also because the water left was polluted with cholera (霍乱) 4．_____ Tuvalu’s problems have led some of its 11, 000 inhabitants to consider migrating to Australia or New Zealand.5．They know they’ll have to someday, but for as long as possible, they want to remain and make the world aware of what is happening to their homeland due to chimate change.BNewton's law of motion, where every action has a reaction, is appropriate not just to physics. 6．from the value of products and prices of produces to customer choices, advertising affects society and plays an important role in increasing business sales.7．When companies use advertising, sales increase, according to Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of a French advertising company. The increase in business sales also promotes the quality of life for consumers. Basically, advertising causes a chain reaction that increases the economy of the area where the product or service ad is.8．In the minds of consumers, advertising can add value to a product. The image or brand that advertising helps to create becomes a part of the product, which is what makes one product brand more valuable than the competitors. This is why a consumer may be willing to pay a higher price for a name brand product rather than buy a brand they are not familiar with at a lower cost.Pricing. 9．It spurs （促进）a sense of competition. When one company advertises a product for its price, its competitors want to stay competitive. Then they may lower their prices to meet the competition.Consumer choice. Advertising also has an influence on businesses because it leads to the creation of new products and improvement of existing products to meet consumers' needs. 10．However, when advertising introduces a new product that is better than the existing one. market share can quickly shift to the company offering the newly-advertised product.CPut on new set of gasses for a new viewToday I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.11．I like to “visit” this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes（唤起）strong feelings, but because I always find something new.There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.12．.There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.13．Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.14．That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.15．So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.DThings to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in LifeThese behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.Keep learning new things.Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another. 16．Exercise regularly.Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain health. 17．Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle.Socialize and have fun!Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engagingin new pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with an opportunity to feel appreciated, enjoy life, laugh, and have fun. 18．Be health conscious.It is important for us to take control of our health and understand that we are in charge of managing of our bodies. 19．Once we establish our own role in the management of our health, the importance of a close and trusting relationship with our physician becomes apparent.Slow down and appreciate the silence.20．Our brains require time to process information more deeply, in order to gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being. Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress reduction, and a more fulfilling life.Studies have shown a relationship between spirituality and the immune system. As we continually learn more about the potential of positive thoughts to influence health, people are beginning to integrate these practices more frequently into their daily lives, and experiencing life-changing results.ESchool phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.21．Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying, an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.22．Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as school phobia is identified, parents should take action too.23．, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.24．If bullying in school is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available. Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies. 25．Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.FFinancial Education-Awareness DilemmaWhen it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. 26．Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2% per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102,or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.27．The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degreeof financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. 28．On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. 29．What is the solution? 30．Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, whichwill keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.GFew things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party. Rejection means having your actions criticized. Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea. Every "no" indicates a door closed to you. 31．Developing your self-confidence is key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. 32．Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.Rejection will enhance whatever negative things you say to yourself. Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected, but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are. 33．Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down.34．Instead, they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength. They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context. Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience. It also involves learning and growing from negative voice.35．You can feel the pain as you like, crying or locking yourself in, but don't let it become a long-term visitor. It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively.HAs is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 36．We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.37．According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 38．Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 39．Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 40．We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.IJohannes Gutenberg-The pioneer of the printing pressJohannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media. You may not be familiar with him. 41．Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.42．Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.43．That means that each copy of the Catholic bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by 10 penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font（K）of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, Heinvented the variable-width mode and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.44．Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin bible, Gutenberg thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a Calendar and a paper Letter of Indulgence The Bible or 42 lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.The discovery of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered45．Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information and for the pleasure of reading literature.JThis summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity. Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie.46．It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories, and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together. 47．Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal connection with people all around the world.In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public opinion of the profession. 48．“Those scientists in general were described as warmer, but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them self-centered or thinkthey take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a duck-faced (嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”49．Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection. You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 50．参考答案A篇：1．E2．B3．C4．A5．FB篇：6．G7．C8．A9．D10．FC篇：11．D12．E13．F14．G15．CD篇：16．C17．A18．E19．D20．GE篇：21．D22．G23．E24．C25．A F篇：26．B27．D28．F29．G30．AG篇：31．E32．B33．C34．G35．D H篇：36．D37．A38．C39．E40．F I篇：41．F42．D43．B44．G45．A J篇：46．B47．D48．G49．E50．A。

B（2023·河南·校联考一模）As I stood in line waiting to cash out at my favorite retail store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was young, maybe early twenties. But she already had a tired look to her. Her face looked drawn from exhaustion. Her thin, unbuttoned winter coat had seen those bad days. The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat. Powdered milk, day-old bread, bargain soap, and inexpensive shampoo completed her purchases — well, almost.“Next!” When the cashier finally told her the cost, the woman’s face paled. She opened a purse and began counting small bills and change. It was obvious she didn’t have enough, and she scanned her groceries to see what she could do without. One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to discard much-needed goods while the cashier set them aside patiently. The child’s items remained in the cart, however.The woman finally paid, and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items the woman had taken out, whispering “Separate bags, please” to the cashier. I wondered how I could sneak the extra things into the old cart she’d brought without being caught. My clerk solved the problem by “accidentally” rolling several oranges hard enough on the conveyer belt so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor.“I’ll get those,” the woman offered kindly and ran to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart. Just as I put the second one in, I noticed a twenty-dollar bill peeking out that I had not placed in there.“You put that money in there, didn’t you?” I accused the clerk with a laugh when I went to pay my bill. I was surprised when she shook her head. “No, it was her,” she replied, pointing to another woman.My small, insignificant gesture had rippled to become a larger kindness than I ever could have imagined. 1．What can we infer about the customer in front of “me” in Paragraph 1?A．She is a woman to think of others before herself.B．She pretended to be poor to gain other’s sympathy.C．Everything about her screamed hardship and need.D．Everything she chose wasn’t what she truly needed.2．What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A．Handle. B．Separate. C．Test out. D．Take out.3．Why did the clerk roll oranges hard enough on the conveyer belt?A．To do “me” a favor.B．To train her skill.C．To show her acting experience. D．To help increase grocery sales.4．What can be the best title for the text?A．Kindness in Giving Creates Love B．What Goes around Comes aroundC．Being Happy Is Enough D．More than a Coincidence【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．A【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

seven,while his friends were spending their allowances④ on things like candy and toys,Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers(同龄人) to do the same,the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank,the Bartselana Student Bank,which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.Set up in 2012,the bank is th e world’s first bank for kids.To become a member,a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted,all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables⑤onamonthlybasis⑥ and observe other requirements,such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies,who,thanks to Jose’s efforts,pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members.The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached.The account holder can then withdrawthemoney⑦,or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.“At the beginning,my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls.“They do not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily,I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”The boy’s efforts paid off,and by 2013,the bank had over 200 members,who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today,the eco-bank,which now has the support of several local institutions,has ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3,000 students,aged 10 to 18,to become financially independent,use their money wisely,and help the environment.Not surprisingly,Jose’s efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20,2018,Jose won Children’s Climate Prize,which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.4.Why did Jose set up the bank?A.To raise money and set up a recycling company.B.To buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.C.To save much money and protect the environment.D.To educate the students and help them win prizes.5.How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank at first?A.By donating to the eco-bank.B.By turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.C.By sending in an application.D.By presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste.6.How did the teachers feel about Jose’s program at first?A.Doubtful.B.Excited.C.Moved.D.Worried.7.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The improvement of the environment.B.The achievement of the project.C.The amount of the waste that has been recycled.D.The support the local institutions get.CWe humans love to stare into our smartdevices⑧.We look steadily for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers,smartphones,tablets andtelevisions.Is all this staring bad for us?It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces ahighamountof⑨ energy.While it’s true that light can damage our eyes undercertaincircumstances⑩,there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is,which is why blue light-blocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there’s no evidence that it may be causing seri ous damage,” Dr.RahulKhurana,clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists,told BusinessInsider.Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover,blue light is also present in LED light.But if blue light isn’t harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens?The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳):more than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light,it seems,isn’t th e cause.Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light-blocking glasses are probably of little use.8.What do we know about blue light?A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B.It has the shortest wavelength.C.It may come from electronic devices.D.It consumes a great deal of energy.9.What causes the popularity of blue light-blocking glasses?A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B.Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.C.Widespread use of smart devices.D.Scientific understanding of blue light.10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.11.According to the text,wearing blue light-blocking glasses may be .A.tiringB.harmfulelessD.beneficialDSolar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy,but there arelimits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板) can go.A new kind of solarcel made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿) can go almost anywhere,says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz.We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the buildings,on the roofs of the buildings,on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices.We can use it on the sails.We can use it in the balls,tents andunlimitedapplication.Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers.Because it can be printed,and everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer(喷墨打印机).She co-founded a company to produce them,called Soleil Technologies,after the Baltic sun goddess.Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters.Adam Targowski is the sustainable(可持续的) development manager for Skanska.They work perfectly,even when they are not well exposed to sunlight.So we can use them in all surfaces of the buildings.Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights.And they keep getting better as research continues,says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies,it took decades to really enter markets.Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research,so there is still a lot to be done,but potential is basically pretty much unlimited,I think.There are still durabilit and other problems to work out,but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.12.What do we know about the perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A.It’s delicate.B.It’s complex.C.It’s flexible.D.It’s expensive.13.What does the underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refer to?A.Skanska and Adam Targowski.B.Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C.Soleil Technologies.D.Perovskite panels.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B.Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C.Perovskite has been studied for decades.D.Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.15.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain how to use perovskite panels.B.To introduce perovskite panels.C.To advertise a new solar power cell.D.To advise scientists to

You’ll live longer if you d o There is no d enying that 2020 has reduced activity levels. Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.31．But there is good news! Despite all that sed entary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.32．It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeabl e positive impact. 33．Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence. Depending on the exercises you use, you may go at a slightly different pace during each round, making it about 11 minutes. When sel ecting your exercises, try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of mod erate effort. 34．Ideally, do a combo, determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on your fitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.See how easy it is to fit in 11 minutes of daily exercise? You can do it. 35．Although no one can give you a do-over of 2020, you can make up for lost time by adding a littl e more to your life span.A．In fact, you owe it to yourself after getting through this past year.B．And studies have reveal ed the great health risks of prol onged sitting.C．The simpl est way is with a walk outside or on the treadmill at your local gym.D．A l ower barrier makes it easier to get even the most inactive among us moving.E.You might wond er about the hour-per-day measurement you've been hearing about for years.F.What's more, both time frames were positively impactful, regardl ess of the amount of sitting.G.Avoid d oing only upper-body movements unless you do l ower-body movements the next day.Go on the Safest TripWhil e travelling, there are many safety measures that all travellers should take, even if they’re heading out a nearby mountain for a camping trip, renting a seaside Airbnb, or choosing any other d estination. Advice is highly needed on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself. 36．Don’t take the unfamiliar road. Whil e part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas. “ 37．” Warned by Dr. Velimir Petkov.Pack cl othing. In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable. As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. 38．That’s why experts reco mmend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.Make sure you get enough sleep. While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. “Do not drive while you are f eeling sleepy. 39．” Petkov recommended. He also noted that even if you get the benefits of seven to eight hours of sl eep, a little coffee can never hurt.Protect your skin. You may not consid er the sun whil e sitting in the car. The sunlight can go right through wind ow glass and cause you to burn. 40．Bahar Schmidt, found er of Eluxit Travel Agency, recommends making more efforts to protect your skin with sunscreen anddrugs against insects.A．You could get l ost, injured or both.B．It is a wise choice to wear strong shoes.C．You woul d never enjoy the views without the tips.D．If you feel like a rest, pull over and take a short break.E.And at night, certain areas experience a sharp drop in degrees.F.And mosquitoes are also drawn when you’re outd oors at night.G.We spoke with travel experts for safety guide to getting on the road.When you go to a new school, you might worry that you d on't know anyone or that you won't fit in. 41．Learn how to introduce yourself. Starting a conversation with someone new can be difficult, especially if you feel shy. Once you break the ice, however, you may find yourself in the middle of a bunch of friends. Choose someone to introduce yourself to. 42．And then talk about something related to school, such as, “When is the homework due?”43．Go to a park in the school neighborhood before school starts and maybe you can meet someone from your new school. If you make a new friend or two in advance, you won't feel so alone when you go to the first day of school.Participate in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with peopl e who have similar interests as yours. 44．You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.Set goals for yourself. By setting goals for yourself every day or every week, you can see how you are adjusting lo your new school in very real ways. For example, you can say, “45．.” Or you will plan to attend one club meeting this week.A．Smile and say hell o to him.B．Learn the rul es of the school.C．Try to meet new peopl e before school starts.D．I'll try saying hello to 3 new peopl e every day.E.Preparing for the first day can make life a lot easier.F.This will also give a chance to show your skills.G.In fact, school life will get easier when you know how to make new friends.With final exams drawing near, many students are understandably anxious and stressed out. Some even feel unprepared and approach these days with a sense of dread. This feeling is often made worse by all those wishing you luck and insisting that you enter the arena fill ed with confidence and positive thinking. 46．In fact, it’s a sign of intelligence.You may notice that stud ents with the l owest expectations often got the best results and vice versa. This makes total sense. Because you will focus on the subject when you have l ow expectation. 47．Conversely, if yo u d on’t know a lot about a subject, you might think it’s easier than it is, only to be struck dumb in panic when the questions actually are hard.Nancy Cantor is a researcher that rejects this culture of unbridled optimism. She believes defensive pessimism is a good strategy, for people with low expectations prepare themselves for possible failure and are therefore motivated to work hard to avoid that failure.48．In 1991, the great footballing nation of Austria was humiliated in the European Cup by amateurs from the Faroe Islands—a group of fishermen who had never played football before. Before kickoff, the Austrian manager was on TV predicting that they woul d win the game 15:0. But they l ost. 49．This actually fired them up, giving them the courage to charge at their professional opponents, who were l eft dumb.Great football managers never underestimate the opposition and neither shoul d you. If you’re feeling anxious going into the exams, that’s a good sign, not a bad one. 50．A．The history of sport bears this out.B．Pessimism is often seen as a negative trait in sports.C．The fishermen had zero expectation of winning, and they had nothing to l ose. D．Actually, it’s OK to feel pessimistic going into a big exam or other difficult situations.E.The more you know about a subject, the l ess likely you are to over-estimate your ability.F.So, just believe the confid ence for success comes from accepting the possibility of failure.G.Pessimism can drive someone to make full use of their stress to help them become optimistic.Who shoul d you be friends with?For International students, if you are going to the USA for the next four years, acad emics (学术水平) should not be the only thing you think about. To quote(引述) Hamlet: “To be, or not to be (surrounded by people from your home country): that is the question.To BEInstant friendshipThere is nothing like the instant connection with friends from your country while abroad.You d on’t have to explain cultural references, and that makes everything easier. 51．Why woul d you come to a compl etely different country if you are going to just hang out with the exact same people?Sense of communityIn some universities, if you have friends from your country, you can organise events to celebrate some of your country’s festivities. 52．NOT TO BEYou’re learning EnglishOne of the main reasons to study abroad is to l earn a language through complete immersion(沉浸). 53．Learning from different culturesLearning from different cultures will give you a new way of seeing the world. 54．No matter where they come from, students have similar questions and d oubts, so you won’t be alone.55．Who should you be friends with? What will make you grow, and what will make you the happiest? You decide.A．Surrounding yourself with the people from home can limit that experience.B．But be careful not to make them your only friends.C．You should be surround ed by people from your home country.D．In the end, it really is up to you.E.With more people from your country, it becomes a support network as a community.F.You miss the food, the music or your family.G.You will be surprised to find how similar different cultures can be.Personal Development is not just a simpl e personality improvement plan, but also a process to improve your life. The outcome of this helps you fight all those challenges to d eal with any of the uncontrollable aspects of your personality. This is a process that helps build the base to handle any of the off-track situations. 56．.Develop positive attitude: 57．. This helps you behave and maintain your personality traits (特性) to a normal level，even in the extreme conditions. This makes a very useful ingredient towards buil ding the positive attitude in life.Communicate effectively: Our personality is basically identified on the basis of the type of communication we are able to perform. A person is shy if he/ she lacks an easy open communication. 58．. Thus, a personal development plan helps improve on the communication grounds as well.59．: When one is confident about oneself, the confid ence is well reflected in whatever we d o. A finely created Personal Development Program is a booster dose to this self-confidence, thereby adding a greater value to inner strength.Bring out your hidd en talents: Personal Growth and Development programs are d esigned in such forms to bring out the hid den yet beneficial personality characteristics within every person. This helps in moving ahead in life and attaining the expected goals easily.Thus, Personal Devel opment can help extract the vital traits out of a personality and ad d value to other need ed traits. 60．.A．Raise your self-respectB．Devel op inner strength and confidenceC．But a confident person is able to fight for his\ her dreamD．A positive personality helps and motivates your inner selfE.Here are the reasons why personal devel opment is importantF.However, an outgoing person has the ability to communicate openlyG.This will also add to your personality and help to move ahead in lifeHumans have littl e difficulty recognizing one another. And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is trulyunique. Usually we judge a person from his personal facial features. 61．Governments, empl oyers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technol ogy. 62．Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a cr owd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. 64．The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing too many.In the age of the coronavirus and the wid espread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person’s id entity. 65．That could affect how d ependable it is.A．The major concern is that it threatens privacy.B．The cameras may need to be replaced frequently.C．This all ows them to quickly confirm an individual’s identity.D．Personal facial recognition protection has strengths and weaknesses.E.In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data.F.And now we’ve invented machines used to recognize faces for different purposes.G.In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.Your education is very important. 66．By working on making a good impression each day, you can enjoy a positive relationship with your teacher.Greet your teacher with a smile. Your teacher likely arrives to work very early each day, perhaps ever before the sun has risen. 67．Greeting your teacher with a smile and warmregards every morning is a great way to promote your relationship and to improve their day.68．Another way to establish a good relationship with your teacher is by being punctual (准时的) to class all the time, always arriving before the bell rings. This will all ow your teacher to see you as a reliable person who is respectful of their time.Never argue with your teacher.
