"People．"That means that the days of your children bounding （跳跃着跑）in the front door with the details of their day are over．They are breaking away from you so that they' 11 be able to stand on their own as a young adult．Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness．Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks．Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice．But in order to determine who they are right now, they need to separate from you．Your job, however, is to keep them safe ?and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with．Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate （支配）their life and control them; it’s because it's a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another．When they' re home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them．You need to open upto them about your life．Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in．on a bit of family gossip （闲谈）, discuss a piece of news with them．They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life．By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in on theirs．5．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．A．the generation gap is becoming wider and widerB．teens quarrel a lot with their parentsC．teens don't want to live with other family membersD．some parents feel distant from their teenage children6．The author believes that teens' one—word answers show ______．A．their awareness of independenceB．their physical and mental changesC．an unpleasant parent—child relationshipD．their wishes for keeping silent7．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Parents should understand their children．B．Parents should keep their children safe．C．Parents should open their hearts to their children．D．Parents should give their children enough freedom．8．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A．To give advice． B．To direct teenagers．C．To present findings．D．To comfort parents．CEvery year more and more plants and animals disappear and they will never to be seen again．Strangely, it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is causing most of the problems—man．Nature is very carefully balanced and if this balance is disturbed, animals can disappear alarmingly fast．Every day, thousands of species of animals draw closer to extinction．There are countless numbers of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered．In many lakes the fish are dying．Fishermen are worried because every year there are fewer fish and some lakes have no fish at all．Scientists are beginning to get worried too．What is killing the fish?The problem is acid rain．Acid rain is a kind of air pollution．It is caused by factories that burn coal, oil or gas．These factories send smoke high into the air．The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories．Some of the harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of miles away．The rain in many places isn't natural and clean any more．It's full of acid chemicals．When it falls in lakes, it changes them too．The lakes become more acidic．Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice．It hurts when it gets in your eyes．It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water．That is why the fish are dying in lakes．But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem．Scientists are finding other effects of acid rain．In some large areas trees are dying．Not just one tree here and there, but whole forests．At first scientists couldn't understand why．There were no bugs or diseases in these trees．The weather was not dry．But now they think that the rain was the cause．Acid rain is making the earth more acidic in these areas．Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very acidic．Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger animals．For example, they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy because of acid rain．If deer are hurt by the rain, what about people? This is the question many people are beginning to ask．No one knows the answer yet．But it is an important question for us all．9．Scientists think acid rain ______．A．is killing people B．helps kill bugsC．is killing trees D．fertilizes the soil10．What happens to thousands of species of animals every year?A．People hunt for their meat．B．They die out on the earth．C．Most of them starve to death in the winter．11．Which of the following is true?A．Dead fish in lakes is the only problem caused by acid rain．B．If we don't make an attempt to stop acid rain, we may never see some animals again．C．Scientists are sure that acid rain is not harmful to mankind．D．There's no reason to worry about several trees that died of some unknown disease．12．What is NOT mentioned in the text?A．Coal, oil or gas form dangerous combinations after being burnt．B．Fish are unable to live in the water containing acidic chemicals．C．Acid rain is capable of dissolving some rocks and stones．D．If some animals can be affected by acid rain, people may be in danger．DThe classroom is a man's world, where boys get two thirds of the teacher's attention—even when they are in a minority—taunt （辱骂）the girls without punishment, and receive praise for careless work that would not be tolerated （容忍）from girls．They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest （抗议）soon．These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education．She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co—educational schools that single sex classes are the only answer．Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons．Many of them, like Spender, had on purpose set out to give girls a fair chance．“Sometimes," says Spender, "I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys．"The tapes proved otherwise．In 10 taped lessons （in secondary school and college）．Spender never gave the girls more than 42 percent of her attention （the average was 38 percent）or gave the boys less than 58 percent．There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female ．In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share．And so do the boys themselves．"She always asks the girls all the questions," said one boy in a classroom where 34 percent of the teacher' s time was given to girls．A boy in another class said his sex got 63 percent of teachers' attention．Boys regarded two—thirds of the teacher's time as fair deal, and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority．"It is important to keep theirattention, " said one teacher．"Otherwise, they play you up something awful．" Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered "unladylike", if they are quiet, they are ignored．13．If you want girls to be better treated in class, ______ would be better．A．single-sex classes and co-educational classesB．co-educational classesC．single-sex classesD．none of the above14．Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ______．A．her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB．the other teachers' tape—recordingsC．both male and female teachers' lessonsD．tape—recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons15．What are the boys' reactions when girls are given more attention?A．They will keep the teachers' attention again．B．They will make more trouble and complain to the headmaster．C．They will not listen to the teacher．D．They will feel the teachers are cheated．16．The word "boisterous" in the last paragraph probably means ______．A．rough B．brave C．terrible D．encouragingELast August, Joe and Mary Mahoriey began looking at colleges for their 17 — year — old daughter, Maureen．With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Mahoneys looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools．They sought a university that offered the teenager's intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe．"The safety issue is a big one, " says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn' t alone in his worries．On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime?

However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.When therapy wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I'd feel a surge(涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.After 34 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life!4．What made the author sign up for the yoga class?A．Her currently disabled knee.B．Her being uncoordinated.C．Her failure to find her car.D．Her serious mental disease.5．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A．Lack of confidence prevented her doing yoga.B．The temperature was difficult to bear in yoga classes.C．She couldn't stand the pain the knee injury brought.D．She was greatly impacted by negative thoughts at first.6．What effect did yoga have on the author?A．She did better than her classmates at school.B．Her physical and mental states have improved a lot.C．She has developed many healthy eating habits.D．Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes.7．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A．To share her experience in taking yoga classes.B．To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses.C．To present the benefits of practicing yoga regularly.D．To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga.CAnimal and plant species are disappearing at frightening rates. The problem has led to efforts to “rewild” places where such life existed before human development, pollution and climate change forced it out. The American city of Detroit is an example of how human actions can increase rewilding, which generally means helping natural systems in damaged locations, removing dams or building tunnels to reconnect animal pathways cut by roads.Detroit's population reached a high of 1.8 million in the 1950s. Then the population began dropping. By 2000, there were fewer than one million people living in the city. Thousands of houses and other buildings were left empty over the years. Some structures were destroyed, leaving empty areas that plants and animals regained as habitats. Nonprofit groups have also planted trees and community gardens in these areas. Bald eagles found their way back as bans on DDT and some other insect poisons were put in place nationwide. Antipollution laws and governmentsupported cleanups made nearby rivers better for fish and native plants.Now, Detroit is home to 300 bird species and is a busy visiting place for ducks and others during migration. Additionally, this city offers a special way to study plants and animals in urban settings. Unlike most big cities, its population is decreasing but its streets and buildings remain in place. And there are many kinds of habitats, including large lakes, rivers and human neighborhoods. Detroit's parklands are so quiet that people don't even know they're in the city.“It used to be that you had to go to some remote location to get exposure to nature，” said John Hartig, a professor of University of Windsor. “Now that's not the case. Like it or not, rewilding will occur. The question is how we can prepare communities and environments to anticipate the presence of more and more wildlife. After all, many city people have lost their tolerance to live with wildlife. To really make a difference in dealing with the biodiversity crisis, you're going to have to have people on board.”8．What might have happened in Detroit at the beginning of 21st century?A．The city was overpopulated.B．More community gardens were built.C．Many buildings were deserted.D．The environment was badly damaged.9．What does the example of Detroit mainly tell us?A．It's governmentsupported efforts that really matter.B．Humans' efforts can make a difference in rewilding.C．Humans are to blame for the worsening environment.D．It's hard to humans and wildlife to live in harmony.10．What can we infer about current Detroit from the text?A．It is a big city crowded with tourists and bird species.B．Tourists don't show any interest in the quiet surroundings.C．It's turned into a place where people can get close to nature.D．It's become a center for those who study animals and plants.11．What does the underlined word “anticipate” in the last paragraph mean?A．Protect. B．Expect.C．Imagine. D．Delay.DThe Front Porch Center for Innovation and Wellbeing (FPCIW) launched a Bear Robotics ‘Servi’ pilot in June 2022 to help ease the challenges for senior dining services. In senior care, difficult as having a major change can be, the FPCIW took strategic steps to maximize the chances of the robotics pilot being a success. Davis Park, vice president at FPCIW, feels the pilot's success was largely due to the predeployment conversations and focus group discussions held. “We strongly believe that a little investment in the groundwork can make all the difference in a successful or failed technology project in senior living communities，” he says.Clear, open, and honest conversation around the pilot helped to prepare staff and residents for the robots' introduction. “Change is always hard，” says Park. “The open discus sions we had weeks in advance were helpful to make sure residents and staff felt heard about concerns they had about how ‘the robots are taking over’ or ‘this is going to take my job away.’” He notes that the FPCIW worked to reach out directly to those individuals who disagree or feel uncomfortable and to understand their pain points.The focus on deliberate and clear messaging also helped to address concerns surrounding the pilot. Messaging was delivered in person as early as eight weeks before the robots were introduced to the community dining rooms. Multiple open forums leading up to the “golive” kickoff created the opportunity to answer questions and address concerns. “We also distributed digital and physical copies of flyers and letters to all residents. And with that, we were able to head off many of the concerns and worries before they became problems and barriers to adoption.”When it comes to using robots in dining services, Park has a word for senior care operators. “Listen. Make sure to create the time and space for residents and staff to air their concerns, and also be prepared for those who may not be ready，” he says. “And just as importantly, if not more: Make it fun! During our golive event, we covered the dining room with robotthemed decorat ions and had the robots pass out robotthemed candies and champagne (香槟).”12．What is the key to the pilot's being successful?A．Putting in much time.B．Investing massive money.C．Providing chances of research maximally.D．Having sufficient communications beforehand.13．Why do some people object to the pilot?A．They find robots unfriendly.B．They fear their unemployment.C．They consider robots unreliable.D．They think the robot hard to operate.14．What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Concerns on the pilot.B．Ways of delivering messages.C．Means of writing letters to residents.D．Barriers to accepting the dining robots.15．What's Park's advice for operators?A．To be sociable and grateful.B．To be cautious and generous.C．To be tolerant and optimistic.D．To be patient and considerate.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In those conditions, Wilson said "temperature in a closed vehicle can reach as high as 131 to 172 degrees in as little as 15 minutes."It was only when the boy's mother woke up and asked where her son was "that the grandparents realized that the child wasn't (inside)," according to Wilson. Despite attempts by the mother and then first responders to revive the child with CPR, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. No charges have been filed, but the death is being investigated by the Walker County Sheriff's Office, according to Wilson.The infant was the 19th child to die in the United States in 2015 because of being left inside a hot car, according to the Department of Meteorology & Climate Science at San Jose State University in California. Widespread attention was brought to the issue in 2014 after a Georgia father spent an entire day at the office while his nearly 2-year-old son was still strapped inside his car seat. Justin Ross Harris has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of 22-month-old Cooper Harris.1. What was the baby’s mother doing when her child was taken out?A. She was having a rest.B.

Those with greater levels of internet addiction are more likely to get ill, than those who spend fewer hours online.Researchers at the universities of Swansea and Milan believe the reason lies in the fact that people with an internet addiction have weakened immune systems. They said the lack of communication with other people and less time spent outside exposing themselves to germs played a role.Past studies have also found people who spend more time online experience greater sleep disorder, have worse eating habits, engage in less exercise and tend to smoke and drink more alcohol. These behaviors can harm their immune system and increase chance to diseases.Professor Phil Read said, “We found that the impact of the internet on people's health was independent of a range of other factors, like depression, sleep deprivation, and loneliness, which are associated with high levels of internet use and also with poor health.”Researchers surveyed 500 people aged 18 to 101 years old. They found that thosewho reported problems with much use of the internet also suffered more cold and flu symptoms than those who spent less time online. Around 40 per cent of the sample reported mild or worse levels of internet addiction — a figure which did not differ between males and females. People who had greater levels of internet addiction had around 30 per cent more cold and flu symptoms than those with less internet usage.And researchers found people who are addicted to the internet may suffer from great stress when they are disconnected from the net. This cycle of stress and relief associated with internet addiction may lead to changes in levels of cortisol, a hormone that impacts on the immune system.1. What did researchers at the universities of Swansea and Milan find?A. An internet addiction makes people stronger.B. The lack of communication helps people.C . Less being exposed to germs harms people.D . The immune system improves by itself.2. Which of the following is NOT the result of high levels of internet use?A . Mental depression.B . Sleep deprivation.C . Feeling lonely.D . Stopping smoke.3. How many people surveyed suffered from internet addiction?A . 500.B . 300.C . 200.D . 150.4. How do addicted people feel when they are stopped from computer?A . They would feel stressed.B . They would feel relieved.C . The would feel honoured.D . They would feel confused.5. What is the best title of the passage?A . How being addicted to the internet could make you sickB . What the young people can get from the internet aroundC . Which is the best way to stop people from surfing netsD . When the immune systems can become better and better★C阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案.Do you find yourself reaching for just one more cup of coffee to get through the day? Are you tired of being tired? Instead of relying on things like coffee or sugar for energy, get happy by eating more foods that give you energy through nourishment. Here are 4 foods that can help improve your energy levels.Hemp SeedsA complete protein, rich in fiber and omega-3s, hemp is a great low-glycemic addition to any diet. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how fast the carbohydrates in food are broken down into glucose and how much it will affect your blood sugar. Fiber, fat and protein all lower the GI of a food, which is why hemp seeds (along with nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes) are low-glycemic. Look for hemp seed oil for salad dressing, and hemp seeds to be added into salads.Soaked AlmondsRaw almonds are nutrient dense, and soaking them unlocks higher nutrition potential. Soaking increases vitamin levels and removes the enzyme that slow down digestion. I soak my almonds in water overnight (at least eight hours) and then dry them.QuinoaIt is 20-percent protein, making it a balanced source of carbohyd rates. It’s gluten-free(无谷蛋白) and rich in B vitamins, which help change carbohydrates into energy in your body. Even if you feel like you’re too busy to make homemade meals, quinoa is a fast food that cooks in less than 15 minutes.Green TeaCaffeine from green tea feels steadier and less sharp than the spike and crash with caffeine from coffee. This is likely because green tea contains L-theanine, a kind of acid found in tea that helps promote relaxation.1. What is the aim of the writer to write the passage?A. Introducing four foods to make people energetic.B . Finding reasons why people need some coffee.C . Reaching for something to get through the day.D . Eating more foods to get more nourishments.2.

The major problem he faces, as he told The Washington Post, is that marketers take his rules and use them against him.Buy products with five ingredients or fewer. Pollan says he and others have repeated the rule, “Don’t buy anything with more than five ingredients,” in hopes that people will purchase fresh produce and lean meats. Feeding off of this advice, though, Haagen Dazs started its five campaign. While the ice creams in this line have only five ingredients, those ingredients are high in sugar, fat, and calories. Plus, says Pollan, “They didn’t change anything…it was the same five ingredients they had before.” Pollan also discusses a commercial in which a woman compares Pringles to Tostitos, choosing the Tostitos chips because they have fewer ingredients. Both, however, are high-calorie, high-fat foods. The result is that the consumer is completely confused by clever marketingShop the edges of the supermarket. The advice to shop around the edges of the supermarket is supposed to lead shoppers toward fresh produce and lean meats, avoiding the fat processed foods in the middle aisles. But now, claims Pollan, makers of packaged food want to sell their products in that part of the supermarket as well.Supermarkets can make money by selling a variety of foods. “They can make as much money selling fresh produce as they can packaged goods,” Pollan says. Don’t buy anything advertised in commercials. “Anybody with that kind of marketing budget is selling packaged foods,” Pollan says.Pollan saw recently that Americans spend about 7 percent of their income on food. By contrast, China spends 33 percent of its income on food, France, 13.5 percent, and Japan, 14.2 percent. Americans seem to have this incapacity to spend more on food. He thinks it’s an enormous challenge. It wasn’t always this cheap. This was a matter of agriculture and technological breakthroughs.1. The underlined word “undermine” in the first paragra ph probably means _______.A . weakenB . strengthenC . enrichD . support2. Why did Pollan suggest people buy products with five ingredients or fewer?A. He wanted people to buy healthy foods.B . He wanted people to buy nutritious foods.C . He wanted people to buy packaged foods.D . He wanted people to buy colorful foods.3. When Pollan thought of the ice creams, he must feel ______.A . calmB . upsetC . curiousD . considerate4.

AShould Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?Saki Kwoda, 24Schoolteacher （Japanese nonsmoker）Y es. It should be banned．Smoking is not only bad for the smoker's health, but also for nonsmokers through passive smoking．In public people should think about others．Alex Wright, 23Teacher （American nonsmoker）I don't smoke．However, I don't really care if people smoke around me．Leave them alone．They have the right, and let them be.Masako Imai, 24Phone engineer （Japanese smoker）I smoke but I think it should be banned, I really want to give up and I think that if everywhere became nonsmoking, it would make it much easier for me to do so．Luke Collings, 35Musician （British smoker）I'm a smoker but am against others having to share my addiction．It's only a matter of time before society wakes up and realizes how addictive and destructive nicotine is.Jenny Wilcox, 31Civil servant （British smoker）I smoke but I agree with a ban．It forces people, including me, to smoke less．I'm from London, and although smokers were against the ban at first, it now feels totally normal．Chris Kennedy, 23Student （British nonsmoker）Walking past a smoking area, like the one by Hachiko, feels and smells absolutely awful．At least if smokers could smoke anywhere, then it would be spread out．1．How many of the above smokers may now regret having picked up the bad habit?A．All. B．None, C．Two．D．Four．2．Which of the four people are very tolerant of smoking?A．Chris Kennedy B．Luke Collsngs C．Saki Kuroda D．Alex Wright 3．The underlined word "Hachiko" in the last part probably refers to _ .A．someone who dislikes smelly smokersB．someone who smokes but agrees with a banC．a place near which there is an area for smokersD．a．legal smoking area which may spread outBDriving a large truck over mountain roads is not the usual way that a schoolteacher begins her day—especially if she is a preschool teacher．But Mrs Beth Miller does this five days every week．Her unusual schoolhouse on wheels is actually a truck．The back of the truck has been made into a classroom in order to carry the advantages of modern education to remote areas of the state of West V irginia．In many rural areas of this state it is impossible for small children to go to regular schools because of the many hills and valleys of Appalachian Mountains．The purpose of the schoolhouse on wheels project is to develop basic skills and social behavior in children three to five years of age．This is done through games, exercises, toys and simple handcrafts．The schoolhouse on wheels concept also teaches the young children to recognize 300 to 400 words on the printed page．This is a great advantage in helping the pupils to learn to read when they begin regular school．In its three-year history the project has helped about 350 children in an area made up of five counties, an area of 20, 000 square kilometers．The schoolhouse on wheels is part of the Appalachian Educational Laboratory, a research effort paid for by the government．Besides the mobile classroom, other parts of the program include lessons by television and visits to the homes of the students．The technique is very effective, and one teacher can do the work of seven in a traditional educational system．As a result the program costs about 50% less than the regular kindergarten．All these advantages of the schoolhouse on wheels have made both parents and school officials happy．West Virginia plans to increase the program and to include it in the public schoolsystem so that more than 4, 500 preschool children can have this valuable learning experience．4．Mrs Beth Miller usually _____．A．walks to begin her workB．drives a large truck to begin her workC．drives her car to the schoolD．carries the classroom to the school5．Children in many rural areas of West V irginia cannot go to regular schools because ______．A．large trucks cannot go in mountainous areasB．there are no schoolhouses on wheels thereC．there are many hills and valleys thereD．preschool teachers don't like to work there6．The best title for this passage is ______．A．Schoolhouse on wheelsB．West V irginiaC．Effective educational systemD．Educational laboratoryCWe have seen that pesticides（杀虫剂）now pollute soil, water and food, and that they have the power to make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless．Man, however much he may like to pretend the opposite, is part of nature．Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread throughout our world?We know that even single exposure to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning．But this is not the major problem．The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers and others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen．For the population as a whole, we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that unseeably pollute our world．Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in amount over long periods of time, and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime．For these very reasons people easilytake no notice of the danger．It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster．"Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr．Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly come near them unnoticed．"7．Which of the following can best summarize the first paragraph of this passage?A．Man has a responsibility to bear for what has happened to nature．B．Possibly man will escape the effects of environmental pollution．C．Pesticide-caused pollution may also kill people．D．Man acts as if he did not belong to nature．8．People do not give enough attention to the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because .A．imited exposure to them does little harm to people's healthB．the present is more important to them than the futureC．humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoningD．the danger does not become seen clearly and immediately9．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．A person exposed to pesticides even once may get seriously poisoned．B．Birds are less sensitive to pesticides than humans．C．The effects of pesticides on humans do not last as long as on fish．D．Taking in small amounts of pesticides will not cause serious results．10．We can conclude from what Dr Dubos says that .A．people usually find hidden diseases difficult to deal withB．people fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticidesC．diseases with obvious signs are mostly easy to cureD．attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadlyDIn cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment．Supporters of rent control, argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes.However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects．Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled．As a result, new apartments are not built．Many people who need apartments cannot find any．According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers．The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs．However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers．They will replace workers with machinery．Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases．Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment．Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage．Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people, keep their dignity．Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum．Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages．Economic theory predict the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production rent control and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if "other things are equal" Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economic do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions．11．This passage shows that setting maximum rent may ______．A．encourage the construction of more apartmentsB．discourage the renting of apartments as homesC．reduce the shortage of apartmentsD．result in a shortage of apartments.12．From the passage, we can infer that rent control .A．is completely unnecessaryB．will likely bring about undesired resultsC．will bring positive effects in the long runD．is necessary under all circumstances13．The problem of unemployment may come up when ____ .A．he minimum wage is set too low B．the workers are unskilled C．the minimum wage is set too high D．people need low-paying jobs 14．This passage is mainly about economists' disagreement on .A．the effectiveness of government controlsB．- the urgency of getting rid of government controls．C．the relationship between supply and demandD．the possible results of government controls15．We can conclude from the passage that ______．A．the results of economic decisions can always be predictedB．predicting the results of economic decisions is something complicatedC．minimum wage can not protect employeesD．economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision1—15 ADCBC ACDAB DBCDB。

专题强化练(五)——阅读理解之主旨大意题(限时25分钟)对应学生用书(单独成册)第113页A(2020·郑州第二次质检)Something strange has been happening to me lately: Women in the street have been telling me I'm brave.My act of courage isn't much—I just stopped coloring my hair.I had brown hair that started going gray when I was 30.So，like a lot of women，I started dyeing(染)it.It was expensive and timeconsuming.And my hair grows fast，so I needed to go back to the hair salon(美发厅)every 5 weeks.Many people seem to enjoy holding onto their youth for as long as possible，giving others the impression that they don't have much wisdom or many accomplishments.But our hair starts to turn gray and suddenly we start spending $500 or more a year to cover something our male colleagues don't need to cover.Of course，people should do what they want to do with their own body—my mother is 91 and still has“blonde” hair，and why not？I just wish more of us would feel that it is OK to be ourselves，because going gray has done more for me than saving me time and money.I like my natural hair，just as it is.I like how it has got curly again.It is recovering after years of being damaged by chemicals.I also like that it has given me some needed attitude in a society that makes youth seem so important，while being against maturity.It reminds me that I'm not a kid anymore and this isn't a bad thing.Not being a kid anymore means I read the books I want，and not the books I feel I should read.It means not wasting my time at events I don't need to attend when I'd rather be with my family and friends.When I see my hair in the mirror，it's a reminder that my time is limited，and I should spend it doing what matters.There's nothing shameful about growing older.And pretending it's not happening is a way of giving up our power.I see my gray hair as a little act of rebellion(反叛)against the idea that people lose value as they age，instead of gaining it.I see gray hair as my “flag” and I'm letting it fly proudly.[语篇解读] 在文章开头，作者叙述了自己虽然头发变白但不再染发，从而受到别人的好评的经历，接着表达了自己对变老的看法。

AThe Hearst CastleHearst Castle is a palatial park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark．It was designed by architect Julia Morgan for William Randolph Hearst from 1919 until 1947．In 1957 , the Hearst Corporation donated the fortune to the state of California．Since that time it has been maintained as a state historic park where the estate and its considerable collection of art and antiques are open for public tours．Despite its location far from any urban center, the site attracts roughly one million visitors per year．Guided ToursThere are several tours which highlight various parts of the castle and gardens．●Tour One is recommended for first time visitors．It now includes the movie, Hearst CastleBuilding the Dream．●Tour Two gives visitors a closer look at the main house's upper floors, Mr.Hearst's private suite,the libraries, and the kitchen．●Tour Three looks at the Castle's North Wing, guest rooms and guest house Casa Del Monte．●Tour Four features the impressive gardens and grounds, the largest guesthouse, the winebasement, and the Hidden Terrace．●The evening tour is a special tour that allows visitors to experience the Castle at night as one ofthe Hearst's own visitors might have．Ticket PricesHearst Castle accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover．Free day use parking is available for automobiles, motorcycles, tour buses and recreational vehicles．* Children under 6 are free when accompanied by a paying adult．Reservation InformationWhile tickets may be purchased at the Visitor Center upon arrival, tour reservations are strongly recommended and may be reserved online now or by calling 1 - 800 - 444 - 4445, see below for times．Visit www．hearstcastle．org for more information．1．Who does the Hearst Castle belong to at present?A．William Randolph Hearst．B．Julia Morgan．C．The state of California．D．The Hearst Corporation．2．If you are quite interested in wine, which tour will you choose?A．Tour One．B．Tour Two．C．Tour Three．D．Tour Four．3．If a young couple take Tour One with their 5-year-old son, how much will they pay for the tickets?A．36．B．60．C．48．D．75．4．Which of the following is the available time to book tickets by phone?A．At 8 AM on Monday in February．B．At 9 AM on Sunday in March．C．At 7 PM on Friday in September．D．At 6 PM on Saturday in October．BAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years. 5．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “”.A．money B．job C．secretary D．truck driver6．What is the present situation of the teaching?A．Teachers work harder and get underpaid.B．Teachers have no opportunities to work in other fields.C．Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.D．Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.7．Many public school teachers turn to other professions because .A．the government doesn’t fina ncially support themB．they have to work longer hours than a lawyerC．their students refuse to listen to themD．they are not fairly treated8．The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States .A．is not great B．is impossibleC．influences people’s attitude D．needs timeCHabits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously developnew habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once tho se ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to‘decide’, just as our president calls himself‘the Decider’．”She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always explor ing the many other possibilities.”“All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system —that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner.“That’s a lie that we havepreserved, and it fosters (促进，培养) commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.9．Brain researchers have discovered that .A．the forming of new habits can be guidedB．the development of habits can be predictedC．the regulation of old habits can be transformedD．the track of new habits can be created unconsciously10．The underlined word “ruts” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .A．zones B．connections C．situations D．tracks11．Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view?A．Decision makes no sense in choices.B．Curiosity makes creative minds active.C．Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.D．Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.12．The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us .A．to give up our traditional habits deliberatelyB．to create and develop new habits consciouslyC．to resist the application of standardized testingD．to believe that old habits conflict with new habitsDFilm cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way.Film camerasAfter all, a film camera is basically a light – proof (不透光的) box. It has a lens (镜头) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. Whathappens? When you press the button, the shutter opens for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.Digital camerasIn digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (传感器) called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitally converts(转变) light and color into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is.13．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.B．All cameras have a sensor.C．Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. .D．Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.14．In the “Film cameras” part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because _____.A．light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutterB．you haven’t aimed the camera at the dogC．the image of the dog is not createdD．the sensor fails to convert light and color into a digital information15．The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that _ ___.A．they use digital cameras B．the lens of their cameras is excellentC．their focus lenses are short D．their focus lenses are long 16．Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ____.A．closely related to the quality of the CCDB．irrelevant to the quality of the CCDC．closely related to the lensD．irrelevant to the lensEOur brains work in complex and strange ways．There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two．Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write．Dr．J．Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887．He called these people idiot savants．An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment （损伤）, such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation．At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people．The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory．One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr．Benjamin Rush, an American doctor．His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724．It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds．Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write．Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s．Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully．In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly．Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment．Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills．Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills．However few people wish to participate in such experiments．There are many excellentreasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain．The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate．Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots．17．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities．B．Human Beings have complicated thinking process．C．The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired．D．The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary．18．Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A．He can play wonderful pieces of classical music．B．He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life．C．He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast．D．He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly．19．What can you infer from the passage?A．Idiot savants have real talents for art and math．B．Dr．Down is the first person who found idiot savants．C．Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations．D．Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants．20．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(A) CDCB (B) BADD (C) ADBB (D）CCDA （E）ADCB。

2023届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化100题(3)(含解析)
2023届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化100题（3）1. As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription.Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won't have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it wherever they are.However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs. book reading found people read 20—30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print.Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and keeping the community connected. A survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can't offer nearly as well or as easily.While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the various issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.1.What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Changed.B.Translated.C.Conveyed.D.Scanned.2.According to the passage, the author probably agrees that _____.A.it's inefficient for readers to read on tabletsB.the only service libraries offer is book lendingC.public libraries should be replaced with digital devicesD.digital books and resources encourage people to spend more time reading3.What's the purpose of the passage?A.To persuade people to use libraries.B.To emphasize the benefits of libraries.C.To encourage communities to build more libraries.D.To compare digital books with real books.4. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?I: Introduction CP: Central point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.2. Humans may have been enjoying cacao, the substance used to make chocolate, for much longer than experts had thought. Researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada have found that humans started growing cacao trees and consuming cacao around 5,300 years ago.The researchers found evidence of cacao's use at an ancient village in the highlands of southeastern Ecuador. They examined the remains of very old objects at the Santa Ana-La Florida archeological site. The village was part of the Mayo-Chinchipe culture of the Andes. Time has had little effect on the village and ceremonial center. The researchers were able to find a lot of evidence of the use of cacao. Scientists had already mostly agreed that cacao was first raised in South America instead of Central America, as they once believed. But the new discovery shows cacao was domesticated about 1,500 years earlier than was known before.The University of British Columbia researchers found extremely small pieces from the cacao tree in the remains of containers and other objects, as well as genetic material from the tree. They also identified a substance found in the cacao tree but not in its wild relatives. This suggests that humans grew the tree for food purposes.Today, the seeds are cooked and turned into many chocolate products. But thousands of years ago, cacao was used to make drinks.Archeological evidence suggests cacao domestication moved into Central America and Mexico about 4,000 years ago. It is not clear how cacao's use spread between South and Central America. But by the time Spanish explorers arrived in Central America in the late 1400s, people were using it to make hot and cold chocolate drinks with spices. By the 1580s, Spain began importing cacao and spreading it to other European countries. By the 1800s, technology developed in the Netherlands made it possible to turn cacao into a solid chocolate product.1.What did the researchers do to find evidence of the cacao's use in ancient times?A.They traveled in Ecuador's village.B.They researched the history of chocolate.C.They studied the remains of very old objects.D.They asked the old villagers for help.2.How did the people in South America get the cacao 5,300 years ago?A.By growing the cacao tree by themselves.B.By collecting it in the wild.C.By buying it from central America.D.By getting it from chocolate.3.According to the text, when did the solid chocolate first appear?A.5,300 years ago.B.4,000 years ago.C.In the 1400s.D.In the 1800s.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The History of Cacao Tree GrowingB.Human's Preference for CacaoC.Chocolate's Story Older Than Once ThoughtD.The Research of Chocolate in Ancient Times3. People who seek comfort by pouring their hearts out in Courtney's office don't get rewarded with an Xanax or Prozac prescription(处方). Instead, they walk away with a reading list of some fictions.Such fictions as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Color Purple teach you complicated topics like racism, poverty, bullying and other issues. They could also help you know your own heart and others'. Keith Oatley, a psychology professor at Toronto University, recommends novels that help us understand the characters from the inside rather than plot-driven novels. We can learn from a literary masterpiece, such as Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, or from popular fictions such as Harry Potter. Spending quality time with these characters as you relax on the beach or sit propped up on bed pillows may enhance your EQ (emotional intelligence).Lab tests seem to show this. Brain scans of people who have been reading fictions show the area that corresponds with emotion lights up. Even if you are not a keen reader, there's still hope. Past studies have shown serial TV programs that are character driven such as The West Wing or The Good Wife also help you better understand what we human beings are up to. Other studies have shown watching character-driven sitcoms can lessen a viewer's prejudice.You can be as witty as Sherlock, but to get along well in this life, you really do need to understand people emotionally. And you can't be as emotionally unavailable as Mr. Darcy throughout much of Pride and Prejudice. You have to learn the lesson Jane Austen is trying to teach with that book. Kieth said, "To love people, you really have to know them." People say you only get one life, but I say read fictions and you can live many lives in one.1.Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Reading novels cures diseases.B.Plot-driven novels are not beneficial.C.Woolf stands out as a novelist.D.Brain scans influence people's EQ.2.How is the third paragraph mainly developed?A.By listing numbers and data.B.By following time order.C.By providing some evidence.D.By making good comparisons.3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Sherlock gets along well in life.B.Darcy is not very emotionally intelligent.C.Keith loves reading Austen's novels.D.Reading fictions can lengthen our life.4.What is the best title for the text?A.The Collapse of Traditional PrescriptionB.Ways to Boost EQC.Suggestions on Choosing Right NovelsD.Reading Fictions Benefits EQ4. If your friend says she feels relaxed, but you see that she closes her hands into fists, you may doubt her words. Robots, however, might believe her. Body language says a lot, but robots have great difficulty in observing tiny body movements and can miss important social signals as a result.Researchers developed a body-tracking system that might help solve this problem. The system called OpenPose can track body movement in real time. One important quality of it is that it can track not only a person's head, body, arms and legs but also his fingers. To do that, the researchers used a dome lined with 500 cameras, where they recorded body movements at different angles and then used those pictures to build a data set.They then passed those pictures through a key point detector to identify and label specific body parts. The software also learned to connect the body parts with different people.The pictures from the dome were recorded in 2-D. But the researchers used 3-D technology to help the system understand how each movement appears from different angles. With all of this data processed, the system can determine how the whole hand looks even if some fingers cannot be seen.Now that the system has this data set to draw from, it can run with just one camera and one computer. It no longer requires the camera-lined dome to determine body poses, making the technology mobile and accessible.The researchers say this technology could be used for interactions between humans and machines. It could play a huge role in VR experiences, allowing finer detection of the user's physical movement without any added hardware. It could also help with more natural interactions with a home robot. You could tell your robot to "pick that up", and it could easily understand what you're pointing at. By interpreting your physical gestures, the robot may even learn to read emotions by tracking body language. So when you're silently crying with your face in your hands because a robot has taken your job, it might offer you a tissue.1.What does the underlined words "this problem" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Humans are addicted to technology.B.Human-robot relationship is poor.C.Robots show too much trust in humans.D.Robots fail to interpret tiny physical gestures.2.What do we know about OpenPose?A.It tracks one person at a time.B.It can track slight body movements.C.It uses a dome to recognize people.D.It can take 500 pictures in one second.3.What makes OpenPose easy to use?A.The data set.B.3-D technology.C.A powerful computer.D.A camera-lined dome.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.What Robots Are Expected to Do in the Future?B.Why Is Body Language So Important?C.Robots Learn to Read Body LanguageD.Robots Can and Will Change Our Lives5. Think "art". What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings? Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights?The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally—by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art?Whatever your opinion, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of "art" and the "artist". Not only can we interact with art, but take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called "art"?Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an "artist"? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.1.How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks?A.By talking to her on the phone.B.By lighting up the artworks.。

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life，’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform，” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his costar in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again，” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4yearold son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me，” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A．Moved and grateful.B．Inspired but worried.C．Curious but doubtful.D．Surprised and excited.5．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B．He tried to contact the stranger.C．He trained hard to become an actor.D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.6．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A．To get personal popularity.B．To take photos with them.C．To inspire them to do good deeds.D．To help them know more about his show.7．What is the best title for the text?A．An Act of Kindness Goes FarB．Hard Work Always Pays OffC．Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD．A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from singleorigin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnansourced coffee could expose customers to the coffeeproducing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before，” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one，” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3，000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and highgrade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for Chinagrown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive howto events. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one's own kitchen with a pourover system and she hopes it's only a matter of time before home specialty coffee enthusiasts catch on too.8．What's a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have limited producing areas.C．They have a mild taste.D．They are used for flavored coffee.9．Wha t does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Output. B．Increase.C．Option. D．Investment.10．What does Sherry Gao expect to do in future?A．Offer community members coffee for free.B．Buy a pourover system for her shop.C．Teach people to make Chinese coffee at home.D．Keep up with home specialty coffee fans.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Business.D[2023·山东省日照市三模]A new wearable device that wraps around your finger like a plaster can harvest sweat while you sleep and use it to generate electricity, according to the developers from University of California, San Diego.Most power producing wearable device require wearers to perform intense exercise or depend on external sources such as sunlight or large changes in temperature. But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1，000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Cofirst author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12．How is the new device different from other wearables?A．It is costeffective.B．It is harmless to skin.C．It required no exercise.D．It produced electricity.13．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Changes into a gas.B．Freezes in the air.C．Drops to the ground.D．Becomes bigger in amount.14．What is the disadvantage of the device?A．It is extremely small in size.B．It is very difficult to operate.C．It has a very limited power capacity.D．It relies much on temperature changes.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Sweats FingertipsB．Power from FingertipsC．An Electrical ConductorD．A Rechargeable Device[答题区]阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
