Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need. Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids' sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course. Using safety guidelines and his daughter's bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded — along with Mickelson's bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.” With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”， the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He's never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn't financial，” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids' faces, knowing that I can make a difference.” 体裁：记叙文 题材：个人经历 主题：Mickelson和他的公益组织 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Mickelson为了让自己社区的无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉，成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”。 【难句分析】 Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need. 分析：这是一个复合句。句中含有how引导的宾语从句，作discover的宾语；“that builds and delivers beds to children in need”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“a nonprofit”，that在从句中充当主语。 译文：Mickelson震惊地发现，这种需求在他的社区如此普遍，于是他创建了Sleep in Heavenly Peace，一个为有需要的儿童建造并运送床的非盈利组织。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.B．Building roads and hotels is essential.C．Support facilities are highly necessary.D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.答案：D 本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

2021届高考英语二轮复习常考题型大通关(新高考)(一)阅读理解 含答案及解析
2021届高考英语二轮复习常考题型大通关（新高考）（一）阅读理解一、Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon(羚羊峡谷)is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3, 700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all visitors to be led by authorized guides. If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to visit, keep these recommendations in mind.• When: Tours are available twice a day during the week year-round, though exact times vary by season; tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.•Cost: Tour companies’ fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at around $ 60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to be around an hour and generally cost around $ 40 per adult and $ 20 for children.• Must-know tip: Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from damage, no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section. Also keep in mind that while most tour companies welcome small children, not all of them will.1.What makes Antelope Canyon attractive?A.Its remarkable height.B.The origin of its name.C.Its unique natural feature.D.The process of its formation.2.How much may a couple pay for a one-hour tour in Lower Antelope Canyon?A.$60.B.$80.C.$ 100.D.$120.3.What must be kept in mind about the Antelope Canyon tour?A.The age limit for kids.B.The definite tour time.C.Carrying a small backpack.D.Booking tickets in tour agencies.二、The Worlds'Best BookshopsThere's nothing like being surrounded by books, wherever you are. Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you.Daikanyama T-site︱TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful, criss-crossed architecture. Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves, there's the bar, the coffee shop, or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer. Grab a book, order a beer and dive into its pages. I could have stayed hours here.City Lights︱San FranciscoThe three-storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry, fiction, translation, politics, history and the arts. It hosts events and readings, and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature. It's opposite Vesuvio, a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists.Shakespeare and Company︱ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris. It has two floors packed with English-language texts, and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one, dedications to the shop itself, or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher.Hutatma Chowk︱MumbaiA few years ago I visited India, investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country. I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' Square). The booksellers here are like amateur librarians, able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for. To me, those well-thumbed(翻旧了的) books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling.1.In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting?A.Daikanyama T-siteB.City LightsC.Shakespeare and CompanyD.Hutatma Chowk2.What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk?A.People can meet Rudyard Kipling there.B.They sell the cheapest books in the world.C.The book owners are amateur librarians.D.The sellers are familiar with the books.3.What do the four bookstores have in common?A.They are beautifully designed.B.They are three-storey buildings.C.They offer book lovers good experience.D.They are frequently visited by great writers.三、Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense seismic (地震的) source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at F lorida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”.The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least track part of its passage —through the solid earth as well,” he said.1.What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake?A.Being seasonal.B.Being destructive.C.Being long-lasting.D.Being interactive.2.Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously?A.Because they were extremely rare on the Earth.B.Because they were once neglected by scientists.C.Because they generally happen in deep sea floors.D.Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes.3.What message is conveyed in Paragraph 4?A.All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes.B.Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.C.Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes.D.The sea fl oor’s condition changes in stormquakes.4.What is the significance of the discovery?A.Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes.B.Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately.C.Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.D.Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses.四、In July 2017, the American space agency(NASA)admitted to not having enough financial means to send man on Mars for the purpose of exploring it. The news had the effect of a bomb after five years of communication and development for this space exploration project. And yet, a few months before this announcement, the two houses of the US Congress voted a law to guide future NASA tasks. Among these tasks was an inhabited trip to Mars in 2033.In the meantime, NASA is focusing on the Mars 2020 mission by building its rover (漫游者), which will be equipped with a series of new scientific instruments. This new machine will also look a lot like Curiosity which landed on the red planet in 2012. The mission Mars 2020 aims to assess the livability of the planet and possibly identify potential tracks of life yesterday and today.At a recent press conference, former US astronaut Tom Jones announced that NASA’s current budget could not solve some technical problems for 25 years. Thus, it postpones the first inhabited mission of the agency to Mars in 2043. The subject concerned mainly mentioned many damages that will affect the body of astronauts.Indeed, the trip to Mars could be completed in nine months by considering the current technologies and the moment when the planets are closer to each other. However, periods of weightlessness that are too long may, in particular, cause a lack of calcium. In fact, it influences the bones of astronauts. In addition, this can lead to significant damage of vision.A quarter of a century is needed to develop new technologies to solve these problems. For example, there is the question of developing nuclear propulsion(推进)systems. Indeed, it could reduce travel times. Finally, there is also the idea of designing something to allow astronauts to hibernate during the trip!1.What made NASA put off its inhabited mission?A.Objection of scientists.B.The living conditions.C.The damage to health.D.A shortage of funds.2.Which is right about the Mars 2020 Mission?A.It has been put off.B.It is to evaluate the possibility for our living.C.Its aim is to send man to Mars.D.Its purpose is for man to walk on Mars.3.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.The problems existing nowadays.B.The accuracy of travel times.C.The time to develop technologies.D.The update of new devices.4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment.B.Health.C.Science.cation.五、After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with "thank-you" notes in them. These "thank-you" notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cooki e’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L.A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to lift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In1918,Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain in popularity in mainstream American culture during WWⅡ. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day—an evidence for the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited as being "too American".So next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future,remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.1.What do we know about fortune cookies?A.They are as popular in China as in America.B.They contain slips of paper with good wishes.C.They first appeared in America during WWⅡ.D.They are often charged to the customers' bill.2.Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A.To make a profit.B.To express gratitude.C.To lift people’s spirits.D.To help people out of hardship.3.Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung's cookies?A.The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B.Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C.I'm being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D.Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A symbol of Chinese culture.B.Chinese restaurants in America.C.Can fortune cookies tell your fortune?D.Fortune cookies, Chinese or American?六、A Fluent AdvantageWhen schools go through budget cuts, foreign language classes are often placed on the cutting block. School administrators often do not understand how important foreign language study is for their students’ success in the real world. Far from cutting language classes, s chools should be demanding them for all students. Studying a foreign language should be required in middle schools.Language study strengthens students’ minds. Many studies have indicated that multilingual people—people who speak more than one language—are better at certain tasks. Specifically, multilingual people have better executive function than people who speak only one language. Executive function is the way the brain manages all the information it’s given, such as performing different tasks and deciding what to focus on. In brain scans, multilingual people show increased activity in the areas of the brain that control executive function. Researchers have guessed that this advantage exists because multilingual people must constantly decide which words from which language to use. As a result, multilingual people get lots of practice with executive function. Theirbrains can then apply those skills to other tasks, like paying attention or multitasking. This effect is especially strong for people who grow up speaking more than one language. The earlier students start language classes, the more benefits they may get from language study.Moreover, language study helps prepare students for their future careers. Today, language skills are in high demand on the job market and more and more businesses work in many countries across the world. As businesses become global, they need people who can communicate easily across national borders. To prepare for their careers, more students should be learning foreign languages. From 2010 to 2015, the demand in the United States for workers who speak a second language doubled. This trend included workers of all skill levels and backgrounds.Of course, in order to make better use of the advantages of foreign language study, middle school foreign language classes should not just make students memorize new words and sounds.They must also teach students about new cultures. Foreign language classes should be required to include lessons about history, literature, customs, and government along with the languages themselves. These subjects will help students become better global citizens and support their studies in other subjects.Requiring middle schoolers to study a foreign language offers them opportunities to sharpen their brains. It also gives them tools that will help them become productive members of today’s global society.1.How does the author feel about foreign Language study in middle schools?A.More foreign language classes should be offered in middle schools.B.Studying a foreign language should be a middle school requirement.C.Foreign language classes should be cut because of the limited funds.D.Taking a foreign language class in middle schools should be a choice.2.The author believes____________.A.people’s executive function improves after foreign language classesB.people learn languages better as young people than when they are olderC.being able to work in another country doubles people’s job opportunitiesD.people who speak more than one language have better executive function3.What’s the authors purpose of writing Paragraph 4?A.To sum up his argument.B.To put forward a solution.C.To emphasize his point of view.D.To introduce an additional suggestion.4. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionA. B. C.

ink,she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with.The trick had succeeded beyond my expectations.But then I suddenly knew I had no control over what would happen neiss Baugh tried to remove the ink with a paper towel,she discovered it was just a piece of black metal.She picked it up,her eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly gaze.Then came the question:“Who did this?”After some hesitation,I raised my hand.Miss Baugh fie,and my classmates.And then,most unexpectedly,she laughed.“Well,it certa inly fooled me!” she said.She returned the props to me,andfor a few seconds a sweet little aged lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood.We got back to having a class.But something had changed for me.I began to realize that,if someone like Miss Baugh had a warm heart beneath that crusty surface,then other crusty people would probably do,too.That may have been the most valuable lesson I learned.4.Which words best describe Miss Baugh according to paragraph 1?A.Serious and experienced.B.Easy-going and selfless.C.Naughty and demanding.D.Scary and narrow-minded.5.What does the underlined word “pranks” probably mean in paragraph 2?A.Bets.B.Experiments.C.Tricks.D.Strategies.6.What can we learn from paragraph 4?A.Miss Baugh’s stare wasn’t as terrifyi ng as before.B.The author was given away and finally raised his hand.C.Miss Baugh burst into laughter and gave the props back.D.A little aged lady entered the classroom to give a lecture.7.What valuable lesson did the author learn?A.Crusty people can be easily changed.B.Crusty people may be friendly to others.C.Crusty people are difficult to get along with.D.Crusty people are sensitive to others’ feelings.C(广东茂名二模)Do you often compare yourself to other people?Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap.Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read,it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else.Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other,live happily together and achieve more.Although comparing can be good for you,it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap.Thisis when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of CreateYourOwnConfidence.She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.“Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder.However,Goddard-Hill says,“Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.”“Comparing down” is when you see so meone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you.This might make you feel you’re doing well,says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve.If your feelings depend on what other people aredoing,“Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” su ggests Goddard-Hill.Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you.If you follow social media accounts that make you feel youare failing in any way,unfollow them.“Find ones th at make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says.Finally,focus on your own achievements and how you can improve.“The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.8.How does a comparison trap affect us?A.It makes us focus on our own behaviour.B.It stops us from learning from each other.C.It prevents us from living happily together.D.It bases our feelings on others’ achievements.9.What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”?A.Both of them usually enhance our confidence.B.Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.C.The former is positive while the latter is negative.D.The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.10.What does Goddard-Hill suggest?A.Aiming to be our best.B.Trying to be the best.C.Trying to be a cheerleader.D.Valuing someone else’s achievements.11.In which section of the magazine can you find the passage?A.Achievement.B.Entertainment.C.Health.D.Politics.D(安徽安庆二模)Homemade biodiesel (生物柴油) helps you speed past the gas station towards fuel independence.Our expert outlines processing used cooking oil in a small DIY plant.If you’re guiding your household towards a moreself-sufficient lifestyle,maybe you’d like to add do-it-yourself fuel to your list of goals.Biodiesel can be created from waste vegetable oil or animal fats,which you can collect free from restaurants,or you can grow soybeans (大豆) to press your own oil.Process the oil with a couple of chemicals to produce homemade fuel that can run any device—including pickups,cars,and home heating systems.First,find a reliable source of raw material.Try sourcing used cooking oil from restaurants,functional food companies.If you’re planning to sell your biodiesel,begin by analyzing the available raw material supply,and make plans to size your operation accordingly.Next,build your plant,sized to your raw material supply.A small family operation can fit in the corner of a garage,within the footprint of a single parking space.Allow enough space for a water heater,a tank for storing your incoming feedstock,and a tank for washing your fuel.For starters aim to line up enough feedstock to meet your family’s fuel requirements.If you’re collecting used cooking oil fromrestaurants,eaterial you gather will be water and bits of fried food.Water is not your friend when making biodiesel,so you’ll need to remove it by heating the oil and allowing the contaminants (污染物) to settle to the bottom before you pour the oil of the top.You’ll have to make a plan for getting rid of the oily wastewater.Home biodiesel production is not without risks.Making your own fuel will require great attention to detail and safety.Now you know the basics of how to make biodiesel,but you’ll need to research carefully before you begin production.12.Where can you get the materials of biodiesel?A.Oil plants.B.Varied restaurants.C.Abandoned garages.D.Local companies.13.What is the author’s attitude to the use of biodiesel?A.Tolerant.B.Positive.C.Unwilling.D.Opposed.14.What can we infer about biodiesel production from the last two paragraphs?A.It needs enough water.B.It goes without any risks.C.It requires little attention.D.It needs to be improved.15.What is the tee research on biodiesel.B.An eportance of biodiesel.D.One way to make biodiesel.Ⅱ.七选五(安徽淮南二模)Raising children is limitlessly rewarding but no doubt challenging.Here are some tips for raising a happy,healthy and responsible child.1 Studies find that kids who have televisions in their bedrooms are more likely to be overw eight.When a TV is in a child’s bedroom,you have no control over what he’s watching,and you don’t have any opportunities for family bonding time—when everyone lies onto the sofa to watch a favorite show.Get them used to doing chores from an early age.We all know a parent who still makes her high school daughter’s lunch every day.2 By the time your two-year-old begins talking,he’s old enough to start helping around the house.3 If you really want to teach your teen about money,then stop handing over t he credit card and the “allowance”.Instead,put your kid on a budget,open a checking account for him or her,and

Wickenden is a very good storyteller.The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing.Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them.Then a full moon rose.The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
