(题目序号仿新高考I卷阅读理解D篇)Passage 1(2023秋·辽宁沈阳高三校联考期末)What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age(青铜时代)coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades(铲)with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter(以物易物)and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into moreabstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset(嵌入)with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.My point is that the metaphors(比喻)of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.32.Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade?A. These coins also served as agricultural tools.B. This stylish design made the coins valuable.C. A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.D. The handles made the coins easily exchanged.33.Why does the author relate computers to spade coins?A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.B. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.D. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.34.What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Flexible.B. Wasteful.C. Essential.D. Alternative.35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How Agriculture Loses to Digital IndustryB. What Coins and Computers Bring UsC. What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In CommonD. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital WorldPassage 2(2023秋·天津市天津中学高三期末)When I was young, a friend and I came up with a “big” plan to make reading easy. The idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. “Moby-Dick” by American writer HermanMelville, for instance, was reduced to: “A whale of a tale about the one that got away.” As it turned out, the joke was on us. How could a single sentence convey the essence(精髓)of a masterpiece with over five hundred pages?Blinkist, a website and an app, now summarizes nonfiction titles in the form of quick takes labeled “blinks.” The end result is more than one sentence, but not by much. Sarah Bakewell’s “At the Existentialist Café” is broken into 11 screens of information; Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” fills 13.Blinkist has been around since 2012. It calls its summaries “15-minute discoveries” to indicate how long it takes to read a Blinkist summary. “Almost none of us,” the editors assure us, “have the time to read everything we’d like to read.” Well, yes, of course, “So many books, so little time,” declares a poster I once bought at a book market. But I judge the quality of someone’s library by the books he or she has yet to read.That’s because a book is something we ought to live with, rather than speed through and categorize. It offers an experience as real as any other. The point of reading a book is not accumulating information, or at least not that alone. The most essential aspect is the communication between writer and reader. The idea behind Blinkist, however, is the opposite: Reading can be, should be, measured by the efficient uptake(吸收)of key ideas. No, no, no. What’s best about reading books is its inefficiency.When reading a book, we need to dive in, let it take over us, demand something of us, teach us what it can. Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who don’t, in fact, want to read. A 15-minute summary misses the point of reading; speed-reading with the app isn’t reading at all.32.What does the underlined part “the joke was on us” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. We were actually joking.B. We were laughed at by others.C. We were underestimating ourselves.D. We were just embarrassing ourselves.33.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What Blinkist is.B. Why Blinkist is popular.C. How to use Blinkist.D. Where you can use Blinkist.34.What is mentioned as a problem about reading in paragraph 3?A. There are few new books of quality.B. Many books are hard to understand.C. People do not have enough time to read.D. People do not like reading as much as before.35.What is an ideal pattern of reading according to the author?A. Obtaining key ideas efficiently.B. Further confirming our beliefs.C. Accumulating in formation quickly.D. Deeply involving ourselves in books.Passage 3(2023春·河北高三联考)Even though people have been paralyzed(瘫痪的)playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal(磨难)to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extremething become a daily routine. That does not wipe out the danger, but it greatly reduces it.Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete’s way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.Some view parkour—the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings — as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.32.Why is downhill cycling mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To call for attention to extreme sports.B. To introduce the origin of extreme sports.C. To illustrate the danger of extreme sports.D. To show the complexity of the extreme sports.33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding extreme sports?A. Extreme sports differ from one another.B. Skill matters a lot in maintaining safety.C. Athlete’s luck is a key factor that influences safety.D. Extreme sports are more dangerous than regular sports.34.Which would best describe the author’s attitude towards the danger of extreme sports?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Intolerant.D. Uninterested.35.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Do Extreme Sports Test Your Courage?B. Why Should Extreme Sports Be Banned?C. Why Do We Love Extreme Sports so Much?D. Are Extreme Sports Really That Dangerous?Passage 4(2023·福建漳州统考三模)This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designerswill ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.32.Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?A. To recommend the new App.B. To inform latest news.C. To lead in the AI topic.D. To introduce its new function.33.What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?A. Concerned.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Critical.34.What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?A. Accuracy.B. Diversity.C. Creativity.D. Efficiency.35.Which can be the best title for the text?A. Is AI coming into our daily life?B. Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?C. Shall we welcome new AI technology?D. Will AI replace artists in the future?Passage 5(2023·福建福州统考二模)In August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial”-which he created with Al image generator Midjourney -won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics, “ one Twitter user wrote. ”This is the literal definition of ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’, “ another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written prompt(提示符), he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved its resolution through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all moveforward, ” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way, ” he said.32.Why has Jason’s work led to debates?A. It was a copy of a photograph.B. He challenged the older artists.C. It was created with the help of AI.D. He broke the rule of the competition.33.What can best describe Allen’s creating process?A. Cooperative.B. Energy-consuming.C. Straightforward.D. Imagination-lacking.34.What can we learn about AI from the last paragraph?A. It is a double-edged sword.B. It attracts conventional artists.C. It strikes art judges as no surprise.D. It may open a new world to artists.35.What is the text mainly about?A. A trend to be AI artists.B. An AI-generated art contest.C. Responses to a winning AI artwork.D. Curiosity about an image generator.Passage 6(2023·湖北武汉高三统考)It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive—and newly single-mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation(繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising akid on their “own”(read: with round-the-clock help)is a piece of cake.It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.32.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring _______.A. very temporary delightB. great enjoyment in progressC. happiness in one’s memoryD. concern over love and hatred33.Paragraph 2 is intended to show that _______.A. celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.B. single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.C. news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.D. having children is highly valued by the public.34.According to the passage, those childless folks _______.A. are less likely to be satisfied with their lifeB. are largely ignored by the media.C. fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.D. are constantly exposed to criticism.35.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.B. Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child raising.C. Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.D. We sometimes neglect the happiness from child raising.Passage 7(2023春·广东省广东实验中学高三校考)Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic(原子的)clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy,we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo(节奏)of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate(调节)our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll seethe opposite effect.The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame(时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people“corrected”official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.33.The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to _______.A. present an assumptionB. evaluate an argumentC. highlight an experimentD. introduce an approach34.What can we learn from this passage?A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.35.What can we infer from this passage?A. It is crucial to improve the definition of time.B. A fixed frame will make time meaningless.C. We should live in harmony with nature.D. History is a mirror reflecting reality.Passage 8(2023·广东汕头统考一模)“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn’t quite understand the heavy academic weight.There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college?32.Who is the author of the passage?A. A professor.B. A freshman.C. A parent.D. A graduate.33.What did the author’s parents stress most on his college life?A. Seeking happiness.B. Getting good grades.C. Building self-worth.D. Developing various interests.34.What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?A. To be a better self.B. To realize our dreams.C. To push our boundaries.D. To live up to others’ expectations.35.Which of the following may the author probably agree with?A. Academic growth helps to promote creativity.B. Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.C. Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.D. School is to blame for killing students’ creativity.Passage 9(2023·山东济南统考一模)According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you’re purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you’ll be more likely to commit to it.In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you’ll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone’s financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.32.Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2?A. To support an idea.B. To attract readers.C. To call for actions.D. To introduce a topic.33.Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping?A. Stimulating desires.B. Recording spendings.C. Turning to medicines.D. Comparing with others.34.What is the author’s attitude to stress shopping?A. Unclear.B. Doubtful.C. Objective.D. Negative.35.What is a suitable title for the text?A. Does shopping benefit us?B. More stressed, women or men?C. Should we compare with others?D. Can stress shopping reduce stress?Passage 10(2023秋·山东青岛高三统考期末)“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally? Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a。

Environment ProtectionThe pollution of environment has been a hot potato for many countries. And it is also true in China. Although the government has taken measures to address the problem, and people are becoming increasingly environment-conscious, the situation is still deteriorating.Each year factories and enterprises are responsible for millions of tons of wastes discharged into the air and water. Consequently, some rivers and lakes have been made fishless, and "red tide" has become an epidemic along the beaches. Soil erosion caused by misuse of the land comes to thousands of square kilometers. And decades of deforestation to expand farmland have brought down the trees, making drought worse and pushing the desert even closer.To clean up the environment, it's necessary to monitor industry. On the one hand, factories should find out new ways to reuse waste and convert it into useful materials. On the other hand, water discharge and smoke emission must meet the standard set by the government. Moreover, more investment should be made in the "green projects", such as planting trees and grass, reforesting the land and so on. To sum up, while furthering economic development, we must not ignore environment protection.1．什么是“改革开放政策”；2．实行改革开放政策会给我们带来什么；3．我们应持的态度。

2021届高三英语二轮专项训练：阅读表达(biǎodá)+写作〔6〕第一节：阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题 (请注意问题后的词数要求)。

When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to，you can't do it alone. However independent you are，it is good to have a roommate during your first year.Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be selfcentered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict.

请认真阅读下面的短文，然后完成以下的任务。

1.概况短文内容要点，该部分的字数大约60-80：2.就“是不是快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福？”这个主题发表你的看法，至少包括以下内容要点，该部分的字数大约60-80：1）以你自己为例，简述你对金钱、快乐的看法；2）你如何看待快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福的观点；3）你的身边的同学如何对待快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福的观点；4）你对身边的同学的观点持什么看法？为什么？[写作要求]你可以使用实例和其他论述方法支持你的观点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。

[阅读材料]The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled，pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness.But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably（不可避免地）brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment，self-improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful....The single life is filled with fun，adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples，with infant children，are lucky to get a whole night's sleep of a three-day vacation.We don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.But couples that decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.It liberates time： now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness.It liberates money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.参考范文A fun-filled，pain-free lifestyle equaling happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness.As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness.And the real happiness always contains some pain.In the other hand，true happiness has nothing to do with fun.All those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.I have a bitter experience.When I was a child，I lived a poor life，and I had a happy and meaningful life in my childhood.And my parents were always respecting each other.And now we have some money，and our life has improved a lot.To tell the truth，it is a good thing.Unfortunately，My father always goes out and takes part in the gambling activities.And my mother sometimes quarrels with my father.I am extremely unhappy about it.I think money doesn't equal happiness.And pain-free lifestyle also doesn't equal happiness.The real happiness is that everyone loves each other，and does everything useful for our society.Most of my classmates support me.But some of them think money is everything.In my opinion，we can't do things without money.But money can't take the place of everything，such as your life，your time and your happiness.（220 words）...第二篇：高考英语作文专项训练：任务型写作训练高考英语作文专项训练：任务型写作训练(4)高考英语任务型写作训练（四）任务型写作（四）阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Some people and businesses get lucky— they happen to be in the right place at the right time. And they often succeed, at least in the short run, despite themselves. But depending on luck isn't a good idea —as the Chinese proverb goes, “Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very long time.”The vast majority of what we call “ luck ” is the result of vision and purpose, hard work and passion. As another saying goes, “The harder I work, the more luck I have.” Successful people work hard to put themselves into a position where good fortune can find them. The harder a manager works at developing people, the luckier he will be in having a skilled and motivated staff. The harder a salesperson works at satisfying customers, the luckier he will be at gaining referrals. The harder a couple works at it, the luckier they are at having a great relationship.All that success requires is a strong vision, hard work, being passionate about goals, building relationships, constantly seeking to improve, self-discipline and taking smart risks. Beyond that, it's simply luck.[写作内容 ]1. 以约 30词概括短文的内容。

英语作文专项训练教辅Title: Enhancing English Essay Writing Skills: A Dedicated Training Guide.English essay writing is an essential skill that students need to master. It involves clear thinking, structured organization, and effective communication. As such, a dedicated training guide is crucial for developing this crucial skill. In this article, we will explore the key elements of such a training guide and how it can help students enhance their English essay writing abilities.1. Understanding the Essentials of Essay Writing.Before delving into the specifics of essay writing, it is important to understand its core components. An essay typically consists of an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each of these sections plays a vital role in constructing a coherent and persuasive argument.The introduction sets the tone for the entire essay and introduces the topic. It should be engaging and provide a clear overview of the essay's main points. The body paragraphs develop the argument by providing evidence and examples to support the claims made in the introduction. Each paragraph should focus on a specific aspect of the topic and connect back to the overall thesis. Finally, the conclusion sums up the essay's main points and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.2. Mastering the Craft of Clear and Concise Writing.Effective essay writing requires clear and concise language. Students should be encouraged to use simple yet powerful vocabulary and avoid complex or ambiguous terms. They should also learn to write concise sentences that communicate their ideas efficiently. Avoiding redundancy and using active voice can help achieve this.3. Practicing Organizational Skills.Organizational skills are crucial for writing a well-structured essay. Students should be trained to plan their essays before writing, outlining the main points and sub-points they want to cover. This helps them stay focused and ensures that their essays flow smoothly from one paragraphto the next. They should also learn to use transitional words and phrases to connect different sections of their essays, enhancing readability and coherence.4. Developing Critical Thinking Skills.Essay writing involves more than just putting words together. It requires critical thinking skills, allowing students to analyze and evaluate information, form opinions, and support their arguments with evidence. Training guides should include activities that encourage students to think critically about the topics they are writing about, such as discussing different perspectives, analyzing arguments, and evaluating the credibility of sources.5. Incorporating Feedback and Revision.Feedback and revision are essential parts of the essaywriting process. Students need to learn to receive constructive criticism and use it to improve their writing. They should also be encouraged to revise their essays multiple times, looking for areas where they can improve clarity, coherence, and effectiveness. Training guides should provide opportunities for students to practice this skill by including peer reviews, teacher feedback, andself-revision exercises.6. Exploring Different Types of Essays.Finally, it is important for students to becomefamiliar with different types of essays and their unique structures and formats. Narrative essays, argumentative essays, expository essays, and persuasive essays each have their own set of rules and conventions that students needto understand and apply. Training guides should include examples of these different types of essays and provide practice opportunities for students to write them.In conclusion, a dedicated training guide for English essay writing skills is an invaluable resource for students.By focusing on the essentials of essay writing, clear and concise language, organizational skills, critical thinking, feedback and revision, and exploring different types of essays, such a guide can help students develop their essay writing abilities and become more confident and effective writers.。

1 ESL 作文、话题及阅读专项训练 Airport Information Part I: Listen and Read: Read along with the audio recording. The airport is your first stop before leaving on our dream vacation or trip. Generally speaking, you should arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare. Don't arrive 10 minutes before your plane departs. You can park your car in long-term parking if you are planning to be away for a few days, or you can ask someone to drop you off in the loading zone right in front of the airport terminal. In some cases, you can check your bags there at curbside, or you might have to go to the check-in counter inside the airport. Many airports now allow you to check in at a computer kiosk, but you will still need to check your bags if you have any. Once you are checked in, you will have to pass through security where they will check your ID and your carry-on bags. You will also need to walk through a metal detector, which will check for illegal items. After you pass through security, you can walk to the gate where you can wait to board your flight. Just wait until they call your section to board. They usually seat first-class passengers and those who need assistance first. Enjoy your flight.

Part II: Vocabulary Exercise Now, review the bold vocabulary above by trying this quiz. Then, return back to this page for speaking practice.

1. You should _______________ at the airport 2 hours before your flight. A. see B. arrive C. depart 2. I ask a friend to _____________ at the airport because I didn't have a car. A. drop me off B. pick me down C. lift me up 3. You might arrive early because the airport ___________ will be crowded around that time of day. 2

4. Do you want to ___________ that bag at the counter, or are you planning on carrying it on the plane?

5. We can get something to eat as we__________ through the airport. It's looks like it's time to ____________ the plane, so let's get in line at the gate. A. Board B. return C. leave Part III: Discussion What are some of your frustrations when going through an airport? Is there anything you can do personally to minimize these problems? What can airports do to deal with these issues? Listen and compare: Part IV: Online Investigation Airport security is a major concern for people who fly on airlines. However, people are often unaware as to the rules about what you can and cannot carry on board domestic and international flights because these rules are constantly changing. Now, use the Internet to identify the specific items that are banned from flights at the airport nearest you. Summarize your findings with a partner and give a reason why each item is banned from flights.

Apartment: Renting a Place of Your Own Part I: Listen and Read: Read along with the audio recording. Last month, I decided to move out of my parents' place and start living on my own. I 3

searched in the newspaper for apartment listings and found a place not too far from my work. The landlord showed me around the apartment, and because it suited my needs, I signed the rental agreement and paid a deposit, some of which I might get back when I move out. The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen. It also has a small utility room where I keep my washer and dryer. Right before I moved in, the landlord put in new carpet and had the walls painted, so it looks like a new place. The rent is $650 a month, not including utilities. I pay about $100 for gas, electricity, water, sewage, and Internet service. Unfortunately, the apartment complex doesn't allow pets, so my dog has to stay with my parents for now. I might get a roommate at some point to share expenses, but I haven't decided on that yet. The place looks a little empty because it isn't furnished, but for the time being, I only have the basics: a bed, a table, a small sofa in the living room, and a TV. It's not as livable and cozy as my parents' place, but it will have to do for now.
