冲刺2021年中考英语二轮复习阅读理解第四模块：主旨大意题重点练Passage 1（2021·陕西高三月考）Though it is not good for us to expose ourselves to sunlight for too long, allowing ourselves appropriate amount of exposure to sunlight gives us many benefits and affects us in a number of ways.Without the sun, life would not have developed. It gives us energy and heats our world. The sun gives us light and thus in turn we are able to see the beautiful colors in our world. It makes us feel good when we feel the warmth of its rays on our shoulders. We store the energy from the sun to help build and heat our houses.Without sunlight we would not be able to survive. Sunlight gives balance. All living things live in a food chain and at the beginning of the food chain conies the plant which absorbs sunlight and transforms light energy into chemical energy ,which will then be absorbed by another life to be turned into a new kind of energy and so on.One of the benefits that we can get from sunlight is that we can receive vitamin D from sunlight. It helps us to keep a healthy body, control the amount of minerals in the body, which is needed to help keep our bones and teeth in good condition and helps to keep a well-balanced mind.Different places on the earth receive varying degrees of sunlight, which will decide the region's climate. For example, the farther away it is from the equator （赤道）,the sharper the angle of the sun's rays that reach it, which means that sunlight coverage will be more spread out, and receive less heat than lower latitude（纬度）areas nearer the equator.1．Why does sunlight give balance?A．It helps to pass energy.B．It helps to absorb energy.C．It helps to form new lives.D．It helps to protect new lives.2．In which aspect can sunlight assist people?A．Reducing the amount of minerals.B．Improving the nerve system.C．Keeping the bones and teeth healthy.D．Obtaining a well-balanced diet.3．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Which place is the hottest.B．How sunlight affects the climate.C．How to get more sunlight.D．How much sunlight a place needs.4．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Avoiding Being Exposed to Sunlight Too Long B．Varying Degrees of Sunlight on the World C．Benefits of Sunlight on the World D．Making Full Use of SunlightPassage 2（2021·宁夏银川市·银川一中高三月考）As children, many of us dreamed of being treasure hunters when we grew up. Few of us grow up to do this work, and those who do are often professional archeologists (考古学家). And then there’s Lara Maiklem, an editor, who has taken up the hobby of mudlarking, which is a kind of treasure finding, done along the banks of rivers.Maiklem’s idea of “treasure” is self-defined. She says she was blessed with a mother who really taught her to look, and to take pleasure in the small things around her. So for her, treasure is anything extraordinary. “Finding dry snakeskin in the long grass, or broken china in the garden bed is like finding treasure to me,” she says.About 20 years ago, Maiklem moved to London, but having grown up on a farm, she missed the peace of the countryside. Then, one day, she found herself at the top of a set of rickety (摇晃的) wooden steps looking down at the Thames’s foreshore. “The tide (潮) was low and the riverbed was exposed. I went down and started to look about. That day I found a short piece of clay pipe stem and reasoned that there was probably more, so I went back on another low tide and I found some china. Then I found myself going there regularly,” she says.Maiklem says after she’s photographed and researched what she finds, she often takes objects back to theforeshore of the river. “What I do keep is limited to things I don’t already have, or better examples of things I already have,” she says.In today’s busy, stressful world, arguably the best thing treasure mudlarkers take home is the relaxation and peace of mind found in the work of mudlarking. “You’ re doing a search, yet not really doing anything so you can let your brain wander. I mudlark for 5-6 hours, which sounds like a long time, but the time flies. By the time I leave the foreshore the river has taken away my problems, and that’s more valuable than treasure,” says Maiklem. 5．What does “treasure” mean to Maiklem?A．Anything she believes special. B．Anything her mother places around her.C．Anything she and her mother take pleasure in. D．Anything archeologists consider extraordinary. 6．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The best place for mudlarking. B．The typical way of mudlarking.C．How Maiklem got into mudlarking. D．What mudlarking brought for Maiklem.7．How does Maiklem usually deal with the things she finds?A．She cleans them carefully. B．She gives them to photographers.C．She classifies them as limited editions. D．She gets them back to their original places.8．What is the greatest fun of mudlarking for Maiklem?A．Finding special and valuable things. B．Searching for solutions to problems.C．Enjoying the beauty of the foreshore. D．Gaining a peaceful state of mind.Passage 3（2021·江苏高三一模）An afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during thedaytime, when they did not before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. "If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. "The feeling to notice is "sleepiness", he says, not "tiredness", which could be more psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap. "When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up in deep sleep because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before. "Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — some people are better at napping than others but, says Stanley, "a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes" — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. "You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep," Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.9．What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people?A．Caffeine addiction.B．Psychological stress.C．Insufficient night sleep.D．Potential physical illness.10．What is the key to a good nap?A．Duration.B．Surroundings.C．Health.D．Stages.11．What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A．A 30- to 40- minute period.B．Between 2 pm and 4 pm.C．Between 5 and 12 minutes.D．A 20- to 90-minute period.12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Why to phase a nap B．When to take a good napC．What to learn from a nap D．How to have a successful napPassage 4（2021·吉林延边朝鲜族自治州·高三一模）Music is the one incorporeal (无形的) entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend,” said famous German pianist and composer Ludwig van Beethoven. This year marks the 251th anniversary of Beethoven's birth on Dec 17,1770 As one of the fathers of classical music, Beethoven was revolutionary, breaking the rules and stretching musical forms to unleash (释放) emotion.Although some may claim that classical is a dying art only for the elites (精英人士)，it is actually alive and well in the modern era. It's not uncommon for today's musicians to have grown up playing classical instruments such as the violin or piano. Even those who don't play or listen to classical music are likely to have been introduced to it through movies and even video games.Many or the most recognizable names in the music industry have drawn inspiration from classical music. UK legendary rock band The Beatles is one of them. John Lemon, while lying on his couch listening to his wife play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the piano, asked her to play it backward and was immediately inspired to write the song Because. The song itself is similar to Moonlight Sonata with simple, straightforward lyrics.This is just one example. Countless musicians have been influenced by Beethoven，and classical music as a whole. Record producer George Marin once said: “They always had enormous confidence that the world was theirs for the taking.” This quote seems to sum up not only the mentality of more modem era musicians，but that of those classical artists who formed the building blocks of music today. They were making a bold，grandiose (浮夸的) and very innovative statement, not holding anything back.Whether you're a music scholar or a passive listener, you can't deny that classical musicians' influence remains strong centuries after the artists have passed. Musicians like Beethoven continue illustrate their impact on the unifying force that is music.13．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．Classical music is not a dying art. B．Classical music becomes less popular.C．Today's musicians still play classical music. D．The classical music audience grows sharply.14．The author mentions The Beatles in order to _______.A．introduce the song Because B．express his love for John LennonC．show the charm of Moonlight Sonata D．prove the great influence of classical music15．What does “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The quote B．The mentality C．The confidence D．The modern era16．What can we infer about the writer?A．He is an elite. B．He is a musician. C．He hates modem music. D．He thinks highly of classical music.Passage 5（2021·云南昆明市·昆明一中高三月考）Most of the efforts aimed at reducing climate change centering on reducing the use of fossil fuels. But a new study warns that pollution caused by the world’s food production system is also a major driver of rising temperatures on the planet. The study found that if the world food system stays on its current growth path, it will produce nearly 1.4 trillion tons of greenhouse gases over the next 80 years. That pollution is expected to come from chemical fertilizers used in agriculture, mismanaged soil, food waste and methane (甲烷) gas released from cows and other animals.Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Oxford in Britain led the study, which recently appeared in the publication Science. The researchers predict that even if fossil fuel emissions (排放) werehalted now, emissions from the world food system would make it impossible to reach current international climate change targets. They say that emissions from food production alone could push world temperatures past 1.5 degrees Celsius by the middle of this century and above 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.A main goal of the 2015 United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change is to keep rises in the Earth’s temperature during this century to between 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius. The U. N. has said that in order to stay below the 1.5 Celsius level, emissions must fall at least 7.6 percent each year through 2030.The new study calls for immediate improvements in farming practices, as well as changes in what we eat and how much food we waste to help reach the Paris Agreement goals.17．Which is the pollution of food production system?A．The process of producing food.B．Mismanaged soil by farmers.C．Harmful gas given off by vehicles.D．Animals’ wastes used to be fertilizer.18．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 2?A．Improved.B．Withdrew.C．Monitored.D．Quitted.19．How does the writer develop the passage?A．By making a comparison.B．By presenting data.C．By giving examples.D．By taking on arguments.20．What is the best title of the passage?A．The Connection of Agriculture and PollutionB．Say no to the Pollution of World’s Food Production SystemC．Food Production System, a Major Cause of Global WarmingD．Fossil Fuel Emission, the Consequence of Temperature RisingPassage 6（2021·湖南永州市·高三二模）A calorie deficit is a state in which you burn more calories than you consume. As one of the most popular approaches of losing weight, how does it work? For example, if you burn 2,500 calories per day but only eat2,000，you have created a deficit of 500 calories per day. There is mathematical certainty. But, this by no means tells the whole story about how calories deficit affects our lives.Before wondering what a calorie deficit is, it’s probably best to learn what a calorie is. A calorie is a unit that we use to track our body’s energy expenditure (消耗) and storage. In order to just stay alive, human beings (and animals) burn calories. This means, even before we perform any activity, our bodies are already using energy (measured in calories) to keep us alive. Around 70% of the calories we consume are spent on just keeping our vital organs running. Thus, if a person consumes calories far more less than needed to look thin，it may have negative effects on the body.When people pick up a calorie deficit, they often merely note that the calorie math is irrefutable (无可辩驳的). The question here is that not all calories are the same. If you eat a few bags of potato chip worth of calories to support the calorie intake needed to maintain or cut down on your weight, it will work. But, this doesn’t have the same effect on your body and overall health as a balanced nutritional meal containing the same amount of calories.It seems like a simple unit of energy has become an object of our society’s obsession. It needn't be that way. Remember, calorie deficits are just a tool, which serves a purpose in losing some weight and keeping track of your calorie intake seems simple enough.21．What do we know about the calorie deficit?A．It helps people lose weight. B．It is a way of doing exercises.C．It affects people's lives positively. D．It means the calories people consume.22．Which of the following statements can be learned in Paragraph 2?A．A calorie is a unit to store daily energy. B．People need to burn calories to be alive.C．Calorie intake is to keep our organs operating. D．Living animals only burn calories after activities. 23．What is suggested for people to lose weight healthily?A．Focusing on the calorie math when eating.B．Focusing on different calories when eating.C．Having bags of potato chips containing enough calories.D．Having balanced nutritional diets containing proper calories.24．What is the text mainly about?A．Influences of calorie deficits.B．Approaches to lose weight.C．Distinctions between calories.D．Ways to track calorie intake.Passage 7 （2021·湖南永州市·高三二模）When it comes to understanding how another person thinks and feels, it might be best to close your eyes and listen. A study by Michael Kraus, a social psychologist at Yale University, suggests that people are better able to pick up on the emotions of others when simply focusing on their voice, compared with both watching and listening to them, or just watching them.The study was published in the journal American Psychologist. It described a series of five experiments involving more than 1,770 participants who were asked to rate how another person felt using a series of scenes reflecting different emotions. Among the experiments, 266 strangers were paired up. They were asked to discuss film and TV then food and drink in both a lighted room and a room with the lights off. In each case, participants then rated their own emotions and those of their partner on a series of scenes. The results revealed that participants were better able to accurately estimate their partner’s feelings when the lights were off.Ray Wilkinson, professor of human communication at the University of Sheffield, said that the study was interesting. But he noted that the findings were based an experimental situations that might not reflect “real life” interactions, Wilkinson added, “While the content of a person's speech is, unsurprisingly, important, otherresearches have found that gestures can help to get a point across.”Wilkinson continued with the idea that the “true” emotion is problematic. As verbal and facial cues (暗示) might offer a different message, which thus leads to a different emotion, the so-called “true” emotion can be part of what we are wanting to convey. In other words, it depends what the ‘true’ emotion is, for that in itself can be a rather controversial concept.25．How can people better understand others' emotions?A．By just watching them. B．By simply listening to them.C．By just corresponding to them. D．By both watching and listening to them.26．What's the second paragraph mainly about?A．Lights influencing participants' emotions.B．Participants rating partners’ different emotions.C．A study describing five experiments concerning emotions.D．Experiments discussing film and TV and food in the room.27．What is Ray Wilkinson's attitude towards the research?A．Tolerant.B．Ambiguous.C．Favorable.D．Skeptical.28．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The true emotion can be easily judged. B．Facial cues will convey the true emotion.C．Verbal cues can definitely show the true emotion. D．The true emotion may not be reflected thoroughly.Passage 8（2021·辽宁高三月考）Many studies have shown that getting more exercise is good for our brain. But can it happen the other way around? Can working on elevating mood help us to exercise more? The answer to this question is positive.A study conducted by Emmons and McCullough formed three groups. One group was told to journal once a week and list 5 things that happened during the week that they were grateful for. Another group was told to journal once a week and list 5 things that had been a problem for them. A third group was told to journal once a week about 5 things that affected them, but were not given instruction as to whether they should be positive or negative.After 10 weeks, the group that had focused on gratitude ended up 25%happier than the other two groups. Astonishingly, the gratitude group also exercised almost 1. 5 hours longer per week than the other groups.Daniel Amen, in his book, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, notes that emotional tagging of events is critical to survival. If we tag an event negatively, it can cause an avoidance response. If we tag an event positively, it can drive us to action.Apparently, our survival is more dependent on being able to perceive a threat to our being, rather than notice that something good is happening. Focusing on the negative can cause us to lose sight of the big picture.Jonathan Haidt, in his book The Happiness Hypothesis, explains that once we take a negative stance, we look for evidence that supports it. If we find some evidence-enough so that our position makes sense-we stop thinking. When this happens, often people will not start a change of thinking for themselves.Jonathan Haidt notes that gratitude increases one's sense of control over a situation. A sense of control can bring about an increase in action, energy, and happiness. This can translate into sustained optimism, the ability to consider new options, set new goals, and, yes, even exercise more.29．What were the three groups in Emmons and McCullough's study asked to do?A．Write five things down B．Take exercise regularlyC．Focus on being thankful D．Express their true feelings30．Why is emotional tagging significant?A．It protects us from negative emotions.B．It allows us to think in a positive way.C．It tells us how to manage our feelings.D．It determines how we respond to events.31．How can being grateful benefit us according to Jonathan Haidt?A．It helps us to get rid of unrealistic goals.B．We feel situations are more controllable.C．It is a great way to stop thinking too much.D．We will regard everything around wonderful.32．What is the best title for the text?A．Changing Thinking Model Is Necessary B．Staying Optimistic Brings Active ThinkingC．Working Out Regularly Is Good for Our Brain D．Being Grateful Motivates Us to Exercise MorePassage 9（2021·湖北武汉市·高三月考）Killer whales, or orcas, are known for their severe attacks on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate(旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spain's government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60-mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring.Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas' behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefish tuna - the orcas' primary food source -which has left the area's killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. "I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages, "says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washington, USA．The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic and fishing activities, after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures theorcas adopted to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the of the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon. 33．What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1?A．They are friendly to humans.B．They have changed their behavior.C．They are famous for hunting skills D．They have met tough living conditions.34．Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents?A．Ken Balcomb.B．The environmentalists.C．Alfredo López.D．Spain's government.35．What does the underlined word "the agitation" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The attacks.B．Food shortages.C．The overfishing.D．Human activities.36．What might be a suitable title for this text?A．How do killer whales attack humans? B．Why Are Killer Whales attacking Boats?C．How can we live in harmony with animals? D．Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea?Passage 10 （2021·安徽安庆市·高三一模）Research is done all the time and most of it goes straight by us, but sometimes we come across some results that are too interesting not to share. It can be fun to find out about new facts, but sometimes you come across things you’d rather not have known. Luckily, we’ve got some fun facts for you today! It turns out that your hand can tell you a lot about your personality. It’s really quite strange. This research mostly focuses on your fingers.The secret lies in your ring finger and index finger（食指）. It can say a lot about what kind of man you are. Yes, this test only applies to men because the length of these fingers indicates the level of testosterone（睾酮）in men. There are three types: A, B and C．A．The ring finger is longer than the index fingerWe’re talking about handsome men here. They’re charming and can get along with everyone. Yet they are a little more aggressive and are quick to take risks.

2021年新高考高三英语考前阅读强化限时训练 (两套,含答案解析)
2021年新高考高三英语考前阅读强化限时训练（两套，含答案解析）阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Most of us now have more than one online social media platform that we often use. They all have a place for you to show your best face in the form of a profile(简介) photo. A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you at first sight. But, according to a new study, we may not be the best judge of our own profile pictures.Researchers asked 100 university students to choose images that they would most likely use as profile pictures on social networks. They found that the participants picked the trait(特点) of attractiveness for a dating site and professionalism for a career site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, the students were asked to perform the same task for a stranger in the group. At last, researchers showed these images to online viewers and asked them to rate how confident, trustworthy or able the person in them appeared.The online viewers tended to favor the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the people themselves. Researchers suggested that strangers are better at choosing true images that show a person’s current appearance. One idea is that people tend to think themselves more positively than others do. This may affect their ability to distinguish(区分) when trying to select a satisfying photo. Moreover, it appears that people overemphasize the trait of attractiveness compared with other traits, such as trustworthiness and kindness, which are characters that strangers often focus on.Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Researchers have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring actual benefits in life or workplaces. But if you want to put your best face forward, you can ask someone else to choose your next profile picture.【解题导语】人们总是希望在社交网站上留下最吸引人的资料照片，但研究发现陌生人其实更擅长挑选这类照片。

Besides a few of the hot places, there are plenty of destinations you may not have heard of. Alongside images of dramatic landscapes, accompanying text reveals highlights at each spot and handy tips on experiencing them like a local.Secret Gardeners by Victoria SummerleyWhen thinking of some of Britain's most famous names, their busy, jet-set lifestyles probablyspring to mind.

The pages of this beautiful book share fantastic images from the gardens of 25 well-known personalities.The Story of Food： An Illustrated History of Everything We Eat by DKThe origins and facts of different ingredients are included in this book, along with explorations into the development of cooking over the ages. The book is more text heavy, but don't let that put you off： there are still plenty of beautiful photos and vivid illustrations throughout.21 .Which of the following books includes opinions from an expert?A. Secret Gardeners.B. The Story of Food,C. Destinations of a Lifetime.D. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.22 .What does Victoria write about?A. History of cooking.B. Tips on traveling cheaply.C. Lifestyles of personalities.D. Private gardens in Britain.23 .What makes The Story of Food different?A. It contains bigger sections of words.B. It provides data people never heard of.C. It appeals to casual readers and specialists.D. It shares fantastic images by well-known people.BFew people realize that it takes the army of volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson. I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association （ VTEA） in Aldergrove. B.C. , close to the Washington State border. It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers-approximately eighty-to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more childrenduring the week. There is a large bam to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily.. . The list is endless.To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud during the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom（刷洗梳毛）the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the bam, unsaddled, cleaned and fed.Yet so many people willingly give their time-because the children need us. Ranging in age from two upwards, the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities. Some have severe physical handicaps（残疾）.Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.Throughout my past life as an accountant, business author and speaker, I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations. However, a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head——causing severe brain injury. It was hard to accept a new "me" and her often-frustrating limitations, until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for. I’d loved horses from childhood, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around, making me warm from the inside out. The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different, more simplified person.24.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully.B. Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits.C. Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson.D. Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way.25.What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA?A. Risky and thrilling.B. Tiring but worthwhile.C. Funny and enjoyable.D. Demanding but fruitless.26.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A. The accident transformed her thoroughly.B. Volunteering has brought her a win-win result.C. She's never recovered from the injury.D. She wasn't interested in voluntary work before.27.What could be the best title for the passage?A. Helping Children in NeedB. Surviving the Brain InjuryC. Volunteering： A Journey BackD. Horse-riding： Toughest LessonsCMen hunted. Women gathered. That has long been the common view of our prehistoric ancestors. But the discovery of a woman buried 9 000 years ago in the Andes Mountains with weapons and hunting tools, and an analysis of other burial sites in the Americas challenges this widely accepted division of labor in hunter-gatherer society.“Labor practices among recent hunter-gatherer societies are highly gendered, which might lead some to believe that sexist inequalities in things like pay or rank are somehow ‘natural' , " said lead study author Randy Haas, an assistant professor of anthropology （人类学）at University of California, Davis, in a news release. "But it's now clear that sexual division of labor was fundamentally different-likely more equal and reasonable-in our species9 deep hunter-gatherer past."The burial site was discovered in 2018 during excavations （发掘）at a high-altitude site calledWilamaya Patjxa in what is now Peru. The woman, thought to be between 17 and 19 years old when she died, was buried with items that suggested she hunted big-game animals.Although some scholars have suggested a role for women in ancient hunting, others have dismissed this idea even when hunting tools were uncovered in female burials. To examine whether this woman found at this site was an outlier, the researchers examined 429 skeletons （骷髅）at 107 burials sites in North and South America around 8 000 to 14 000 years ago. Of those, 27 individuals were buried with hunting tools—11 were female and 15 were male. The sample was sufficient to "support the conclusion that female participation in early big-game hunting was likely not unusual".The findings add to doubts about man —the —hunter" assumption that informed much thinking about early humans since the mid-20th century. They suggest hunting was very much a community-based activity, needing the participation of all able-bodied individuals to drive large animals, the paper said. The weapon of choice at that time had low accuracy, encouraging broad participation, and using it was a skill learned from childhood.28.What does the recent burial site at Andes Mountains show?A. The origin of sexual inequality.B. Hunting skills of ancient times.C. The social system of prehistoric hunters.D. Job division of hunter-gatherer society.29 .Which of the following might Randy Haas agree with?A. Gender plays no part in recent hunter-gatherer society.B. Sexist inequality is a natural result of prehistoric society.C. Ancient division of labor might be fairer than we'd thought.D. Public ideas of women's role will be changed abruptly.30.What does the underlined word "outlier” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Exception.B. Failure.C. Role model.D. Easy target.31 .What might make prehistoric hunting a community-based activity?A. Lack of able-bodied individuals.B. Imperfection in hunting weapons.C. Better accuracy of females in hunting.D. Need for large animals as food source.DSelective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is a process used by humans to develop new organisms with desirable traits （特点）.It can be used to produce tastier fruits and vegetables, crops with greater resistance to pests, and larger animals that can be used for meat.Perhaps the earliest example of selective breeding is the domestic dog. Scientists believe that the domestic dog evolved from the wild gray wolf, and through artificial selection, humans were able to create hundreds of different dog breeds. As people domesticated and bred dogs, they favored specific traits, like size or intelligence, for certain tasks, such as hunting, shepherding, or companionship. As a result, many dog breeds vastly differ in appearance, a unique phenomenon in the animal world, as different breeds of a single species generally look like each other. The Chihuahua and the Dalmatian, for instance, are both dogs, yet they share few physical features.Selective breeding has also been practiced in agriculture for thousands of years. Almost every fruit and vegetable eaten today is a product of artificial selection. By picking out wild cabbage plants with specific characteristics, farmers were able to create a variety of vegetables from a single source, each with differing flavors. Broccoli, for example, was developed from wild cabbage plants that hadn't enough flower development while kale came from Brassica oleracea with larger leaves.Com is an unusual product of selective breeding. Unlike rice, wheat, and cabbage, which have clear ancestors, there is no wild plant that looks like com. The earliest records of com indicate that the plant was developed in southern Mexico 6 000 - 10 000 years ago from a grass called teosinte （墨西哥类蜀黍）. Scientists believe that early Mexican farmers selected only the largest and tastiestseeds o£ teosinte for planting. This process allowed Mexicans to develop com very quickly, as small changes in the plant's genetic makeup had dramatic effects on the grain's taste and size.Without selective breeding, many of the plants and animals on earth today would not exist. However, every coin has two sides.32 .What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1 ?A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Add some background information.C. Provide scientific data for readers.D. Explain a scientific study method.33.Chihuahua and Dalmatian are mentioned to show.A. selective breeding is very successfulB. selective breeding leads to biodiversityC. selective breeding brings difference in appearanceD. selective breeding might bring about new species34.What is special about com as a product of selective breeding?A. It has genetic makeup opposite to teosinte.B. It is the earliest plant developed by Mexicans.C. It hasn't an ancestor in Mother Nature.D. It shares few physical similarities with its ancestors.35.What might be discussed in the paragraphs following the last one?A. More examples of selective breeding.B. Disadvantages of selective breeding.C. Influence of selective breeding on species.D. Comparison between natural and selective breeding.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2021·湖北黄冈高三质量检测)South KoreaWhile many South Koreans prefer Westernstyle weddings in which the bride wears a white wedding dress, some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek〞—a South Korean wedding custom.The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parentsinlaw for the first time.The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子)—symbols for children and good fortune.—Sujean Park, HuffPost South Korea JapanFor Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples.The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple—on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $1，000.’re typically put in a special envelope signed by the guest.Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.—Ryan Takeshita, HuffPost Japan BrazilIn Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it.The money that’s collected usually goes toward the c ouple’s honeymoon.Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bemcasados〞， or “happily married〞．These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk(炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.—Andrea Martinelli, HuffPost Brazil 1．In South Korean weddings，________．A．only Westernstyle weddings are favoredB．the couple must both wear a white dressC．the bride shows respects to her parentsD．some couples still observe their traditions2．When attending a Japanese friend’s wedding, you’d better________．A．fold the new bills in an envelopeB．contain $300 in a special envelopeC．carry an envelope with a letter as a giftD．give more than $1，000 to the new couple3．Why do people make pastries in Brazilian weddings?A．To share the new couple’s stories.B．To raise money for the new couple.C．To show their excellent cooking skills.D．To express good wishes to the new couple.4．What’s the purpose of writing this text?A．To share some wedding customs around the world.B．To tell people how to make preparations for weddings.C．To show the different customs between different countries.D．To check how much you know about wedding customs.B(2021·福建泉州检测)It was an old apartment building, in which many parts are made of wood.Regardless of the warning of firemen, the residents wouldn’t move out because they were poor and had nowhere to go.One night, the building was on fire.The residents began to run for their lives.When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down.The remaining residents rushed to the roof of the third floor, which had not been touched by the flames yet, waiting for the firemen to rescue them.Firemen did arrive in a short while.But the fire engines and ladders could not reach the building as the alley was too narrow to allow the passage.The situation was critical, since the fire might burn the roof at any moment.The firemen placed a few cushions on the floor, and got some quilts from the nearby houses to add to the pile.Then they asked the people on the burning building to jump on the pile after they had shown how.A man jumped down, bottom touching the pile, uninjured.Another person jumped down, uninjured...They jumped one after another, all safe.Finally, Singermary became the only remaining one on the roof, hesitating whilethe fire was swallowing the roof soon.People shouted，“Jump, jump！〞 Singermary jumped, but she jumped head down with open arms.People were amazed and greatly shocked.How could she do such a jump? It was a suicide gesture! Fortunately, the cushions were very thick.She did not die, but injured seriously, saying with what strength she got, “Please take me to hospital！〞 She was pregnant, and she had jumped head down in order to keep the child safe.That was mother’s love ! People were deeply moved.5．When did the wooden staircases break down?A．After half of the residents ran out.B．Before the residents discovered the fire.C．Immediately the firemen arrived.D．The moment the fire started.6．Why couldn’t the firemen put out the fire?A．Because the cushions blocked the way.B．Because the fire engines were too old.C．Because the building was made of wood.D．Because the alley was not wide enough.7．Why did Singermary jump in a different way?A．To reduce the danger.B．To cover her fright.C．To protect her child.D．To shock her neighbors.8．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Harmony of NeighborhoodB．Mother’s LoveC．Heroic FiremenD．An Urgent RescueC(2021·湖南长郡中学模拟)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense.It takes the mostcoolheaded drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way toward reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough.Many drive rs nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能)．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more gi veandtake(互谅互让) from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.9．The passage mainly talks about________．A．traffic jams B．good mannersC．road politeness D．modern drivers10．Troubles on the road are often caused by________．A．traffic jamsB．the behavior of the driversC．the great speed of modern lifeD．terrible road conditions11．According to the writer，a good driver should________．A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want toB．beat back when forced to face rude drivingC．be able to recognize politeness when he sees itD．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel12．It is not always right for drivers to________．A．master the roadmanshipB．neglect politeness when they see itC．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessD．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want toD(2021·广西重点高中二模)People love cellphones, which is why nine in ten Americans own one.But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years.A new study in rats now augments those concerns.Its data linked longterm, intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.The results have yet to be confirmed, the authors note.Indeed, although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer, it offers no clues to why such a link might exist, notes Jonathan Samet.He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.Still, he calls the new study’s findings “significant〞．They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer, he says.Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves.This radio frequency—or RF—radiation is a type known as nonionizing(非电离的)．Unlike Xrays, nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules, producing ions.So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation, such as Xrays.But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.In very large doses(量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissue damage.But it’s not yet known what much lower R F levels might do, such as those from cellphone use.Five years ago, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, concluded that cellphone use“is possibly carcinogenic(致癌的)〞．Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at that time.But notice that IARC was not certain.It said only that phone use might “possibly〞cause cancer.So scientists at the National Toxicology Program, or NTP, investigated further.13．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “augments〞 in Paragraph 1?A．Figures out. B．Puts out.C．Refers to. D．Adds to.14．In which aspect does Jonathan Samet think the new study in rats is significant?A．It assists him with his teaching.B．It indicates a new research direction.C．It warns people to mind cellphone safety.D．It makes a breakthrough in cancer research.15．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How phone signals are delivered.B．How cellphones produce radiation.C．Features of radiation from cellphones.D．Differences between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.第二节 (共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3℃ on average, with melting ice contributing to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 metres． In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, paradoxically, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region. This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica, making much of the continent surface colder than usual． But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole have been banned, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years. By then the cooling effect will have faded out and the Antarctic will face the full impact of global warming. This means an increase in average air temperatures of around 3℃ and a reduction in sea ice by around a third． The biggest threat to the continent comes from warming seas. Robert Johnson, a scientist who monitors Antarctica ice sheets, said, “The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick. But once warm ocean waters start flowing underneath, the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly.〞 Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster. Escaping ice from western Antarctica has already resulted in a 10% 日期：2022年二月八日。 日期：2022年二月八日。 rise in global sea level in recent decades． Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late. “Everything is connected—Antarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earth's system,〞 said Johnson. “It contains 90% of the world's ice, 70% of the world's fresh water and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 metres.〞 Even in a worsecase situation scientists don't expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, average sea level rise will be around 1.4 metres higher by the end of the century． 16. The underlined word “paradoxically〞 (in Paragraph 2) most probably means “ 〞. A. rapidly B. approximately C. contradictorily D. apparently 17.

2021年全国新高考高三考前冲刺英语阅读强化训练（四套，含答案解析） 阅读强化训练(一) (建议用时：25分钟) Ⅰ 阅读理解
Most of us now have more than one online social media platform that we often use. They all have a place for you to show your best face in the form of a profile(简介) photo. A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you at first sight. But, according to a new study, we may not be the best judge of our own profile pictures. Researchers asked 100 university students to choose images that they would most likely use as profile pictures on social networks. They found that the participants picked the trait(特点) of attractiveness for a dating site and professionalism for a career site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, the students were asked to perform the same task for a stranger in the group. At last, researchers showed these images to online viewers and asked them to rate how confident, trustworthy or able the person in them appeared. The online viewers tended to favor the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the people themselves. Researchers suggested that strangers are better at choosing true images that show a person’s current appearance. One idea is that people tend to think themselves more positively than others do. This may affect their ability to distinguish(区分) when trying to select a satisfying photo. Moreover, it appears that people overemphasize the trait of attractiveness compared with other traits, such as trustworthiness and kindness, which are characters that strangers often focus on. Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Researchers have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring actual benefits in life or workplaces. But if you want to put your best face forward, you can ask someone else to choose your next profile picture. 【解题导语】 人们总是希望在社交网站上留下最吸引人的资料照片，但研究发现陌生人其实更擅长挑选这类照片。 1．People try to pick best online profile pictures of themselves to ________． A．make themselves feel happy B．show off their appearance C．compete with their friends D．leave others a good impression D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段A satisfying photo can make...feel good about you at first sight.可知，人们选择最好的简介照片是为了给别人留下良好的印象。 2．Students in the study chose pictures of themselves according to ________． A．suggestions from their friends B．characters that a site requires C．whether their family like them D．whether they seem goodlooking B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段They found that the participants picked the trait(特点)...professionalism for a career site.可推断，在这个研究中，学生们根据每个网站对性格特点的要求来选择照片。 3．Why do strangers do better in choosing satisfying profile pictures?
