Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals(信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks(轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned people of danger.A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go". So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many peoplewere hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.1.Why was the color red used to mean "stop"?A.It reminded people of traffic rules.B.It helped trains run smoothly.C.It gave people a warning of danger.D.It was the first color people thought of.2.What does the underlined word "swapped" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Designed.B.Exchanged.C.Suggested.pared.3.In which order did the "take care" light develop?a. A white light.b. A green light.c. A yellow light.A.a-b-cB.b-c-aC.a-c-bD.b-a-c4.What is the passage mainly about?A.The advantages of traffic lights.B.The history of traffic lights.C.The importance of traffic lights.D.The meanings of traffic lights.8.You may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people called "ABC"? You may like eating bananas, but do you know there are people called "banana people"? If you don't know, I will tell you about them. They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China. Why do people call them like that?If we call somebody an "ABC", we mean he or she is a Chinese person but was born in America. Sometimes, people also call them "banana people". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a "banana person", he or she is "white" inside and "yellow" outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin but does things in an American way. "Banana people" were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, thesepeople still have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.There are many famous "banana people" in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields.四、完形填空9. It was a cold windy winter day and I was walking home from work.

【新高考】2021高考英语人教版一轮复习：阅读理解话题一 良好的人际关系与社会交往(B) (含解析)
话题一良好的人际关系与社会交往(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2020·兰州实战模拟] In October, I told the eight-year-olds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I'd like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money，”I said. “Then we'll buy food for a dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to effect change.Early in the week, they arrived in class with their hard-earned money. And now they couldn't wait to go shopping. At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with food and all the decorations. Then someone spotted a “necessity”that sent them racing: a pot of chrysanthemums(菊花)．It was more reasonable to use any extra money to buy food. After all, I pronounced, “You can't eat flowers.”But the children insisted and placed the purple plant into the cart.An agency had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for years. Soon we were arriving at her house. Between the laughing and those purple flowers, I wasn't sure that any lesson about giving and receiving was getting through.We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us. As my little group carried the boxes of food in, she oohed and aahed — much to her visitors' pleasure. When Amy put the plant on the counter，the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. The woman told the children about the animals that lived close by. “I share my food with the birds，”she said.We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the food, straight to the chrysanthemums. She put her face in the plant. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. The children were quiet. In that one brief moment, they had seen for themselves the power they possessed to make another's life better.1．The author gave the students the task in order to ________.A．help them focus on their family happinessB．let them experience their ability to help othersC．teach them the necessity of doing houseworkD．get them to know how to be financially independent2．What's the author's attitude to buying some flowers at first?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Cautious. D．Enthusiastic.3．What did the children realize at the end of the visit?A．They could help improve others' life.B．They could make a living by working.C．It was necessary to do voluntary work.D．Plants and birds could help lonely people.4．What is the best title for the text?A．My Teaching CareerB．How to Help Poor PeopleC．The Importance of GivingD．A Happy Shopping ExperienceB[2020·湖南省岳阳市质量监测二] When I was a very little child, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would talk to myself, “When I grow up and become rich, I'll save kids all over the world.”At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病) —her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We're all humans. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don't even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you've gotten a dollar, there's plenty to share.”5．What did the author want to do at a young age?A．Watch TV. B．Grow up quickly.C．Become wealthy. D．Help other children.6．Which of the following directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?A．A six-year-old kid's request.B．Her grandmother's death of cancer.C．Many volunteers' inspiration for it.D．Other organizations' encouragement.7．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A chance. B．A life.C．A task. D．An organization.8．What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A．Do little things to help those around them.B．Work very hard to get a college education.C．Challenge their friends to offer help.D．Do charity work when you are rich.Ⅱ.七选五[2020·兰州高三诊断考试] Have you ever wondered what the real meaning of the saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed” is? __1__. True friendship is the one, in which the individuals do not have to maintain good manners with each other. Sharing true friendship is the situation, when the person you are talking about is regarded as one among your family members, when the relation you share with him or her reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for some time, your friendship remains unchanged.The trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help. If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can tolerate even long distances. __2__. It would not affect their friendship.__3__. They would face it together and support each other, even if it is against the interests of the other person. Best friends don't analyze each other and they don't have to do so. They accept each other with their positive and negative qualities. __4__. They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. One would not overpower the other. They would respect each other's individuality. In fact, they would understand the similarities and respect the differences.True friendship is marked by selflessness. Best friends support each other, even if the whole world opposes them. __5__. If you have even one true friend, consider yourself lucky.A．True friendship never fades awayB．Nothing is hidden between true friendsC．It is not easy getting true friends for the lifetimeD．For them, geographical separation is just a part of lifeE．True friends don't desert each other when one is facing troubleF．Remember, all the best friends are friends, but not all friends can be the best friendsG．People talk about the true value of friendship actually without knowing what it stands forⅢ.语法填空[2020·洛阳市第二次统考]My mom was a nurse and often took me along to visit the 1.________ (family) she was caring for, including one who had a series of strokes (中风) and was bedridden.

Researchers have developed a lithiumair battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also one day power airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithiumair battery is a solid electrolyte (电解质) instead of the usual liquid variety.Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liqu id electrolytes used in lithiumion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire. More importantly, the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates into longer driving range.For over a decade, scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium (锂) battery that makes use of the oxygen in air. The lithiumair battery has the highest energy of any battery technology being considered for the nextgeneration of batteries beyond lithiumion.The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive elements, compared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithiumion only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule (分子), while that for t he lithiumair battery involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.The new design is the first lithiumair battery that has achieved a fourelectron reaction at room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs.“With further development, we expect our new design for the lithiumair battery to reach a record of 1，200 w atthours per kilogram，” said Curtiss, a researcher. “That is nearly four times better than lithiumion batteries.”1．What contributes most to the lithiumair battery?A．Lithiumion. B．Oxygen molecules.C．Solid electrolytes. D．Liquid components.2．What's the problem with lithiumion batteries?A．They burn easily if overheated.B．They are unsafe in production.C．They damage the environment.D．They require longer charging time.3．How does the author organize Paragraph 4?A．By giving examples.B．By making comparisons.C．By presenting statistics.D．By analyzing cause and effect.4．What is the best title of the text?A．How Lithiumair Batteries WorkB．What Will Be Used to Power AirplanesC．Electric Cars Are Becoming More PopularD．New Batteries Offer Longer Driving RangeBGrizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.“Grizzly bears are reoccupying large areas of their former range，” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the U．S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50，000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2，000 or more grizzly bears in the U．S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U．S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allo w them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at gettin g grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractantfree place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.5．How do Americans look at grizzlies?A．They cause mixed feelings in people.B．They should be kept in national parks.C．They are of high scientific value.D．They are a symbol of American culture.6．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?A．The European settlers' behavior.B．The expansion of bears' range.C．The protection by law since 1975.D．The support of Native Americans.7．What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?A．The opposition of conservation groups.B．The successful comeback of grizzlies.C．The voice of the biologists.D．The local farmers' advocates.8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Food should be provided for grizzlies.B．People can live in harmony with grizzlies.C．A special path should be built for grizzlies.D．Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.答题策略语法填空——冠词练习52 语法填空＋阅读理解Ⅰ.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。
2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习Unit4单元主题训练新人教版选择性必修第一册(含答案)
2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 4 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解2022·广州质检When my 8-month-old cries, I ask him if he's hungry, or wet or just needs a hug.“Babububuu，” he says.What I need is a baby cry translator. That's just what a team of researchers say they've developed.“Experienced nurses or pediatricians (儿科医师) can identify why baby is crying because they have experience，”says Lichuan Liu, a professor of electrical engineering at Northern Illinois University, who conducted the research. “We talked to them, and they mentioned that based on the cry's sound there're some clues (线索)．”So Liu set out to identify the features of cries that can help mark them as expressions of pain or discomfort. These features include differences in pitch (音高) and frequency. The team then developed an algorithm (算法) based on automatic speech recognition to detect and identify these features. This “cry language recognition algorithm” was trained on recordings of baby cries taken from a hospital. It uses compressed sensing, a process that reconstructs a signal based on incomplete data. It can identify a baby's cry against a background of, say, adult speech or loud television sounds. By classifying different cry features, like pitch, the algorithm can suggest whether the cry is due to sickness or pain, and identify the degree of urgency.The team had experienced pediatric care providers assess forty-eight baby cry recordings for probable cause of crying — hunger, tiredness, etc. They then compared these to the algorithm's assessments. The algorithm agreed with the humans 70% of the time. Generally, so-called “uncommon cry signals”— signs of pain or sickness — are high-pitched and very loud compared to ordinary crying.Liu and her team continue to train the technology for greater accuracy. They also plan to add more features, like the ability to identify and classify movement and facial expressions. This could help give a more detailed reading of baby's emotional (情感的) and physical state. They also hope to begin human trials in the near future.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册Unit4NaturalDisasters提能训练(含答案及范文)
高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANational Space Centre, LeicesterAn interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK's biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-metre rocket tower. You can't miss the latter as you drive into Leicester — the structure looks like it's wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It's all under cover so it's a good place to visit on a rainy day!What about lunch?The Boosters Cafe serves reasonably priced hot and cold snacks and drinks (hot dog from ￡4.95, plus jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and salads) at the foot of the centre's two rockets.

江苏滨海县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解训练（六）阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(2014·湖北)You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand.Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered －every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)．You don't have to worry about being late for work.You don't have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right；it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry. Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world. “How could it take me so long to find it？”you wonder.【语篇导读】文章描述了 Huaplee Beach的大体位置、饮食和在这里度过的美好时光。
1．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，_______________________.A．he found it unworthwhileB．he failed to sort himself outC．he became sensitive to smellD．he had difficulty in finding it解析推理判断题。
根据文章第二段It was a long journey...it took almost as long as the flight fromFalongland，第三段第二句Not many tourists find this place.可知这个地方不好找，作者找到这个地方耗时很长，因此答案为D。
答案 D2．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?A．No menu. B．Free food.C．Self service. D．Quick delivery.解析细节理解题。
第五段文章涉及饮食，根据该段最后一句No menu here 可知答案为A。
答案 A3．In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.A．sits in a beach chairB．forgets his daily routineC．plans a detailed scheduleD．draws pictures in the sand解析推理判断题。
文章第七段：For now you just count your blessings，listing them in the sand with your toe.You don't have to worry about being late for work.You don't have to do anything，和第八段：No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.都描述了在Huaplee Lazy Beach享受的美好时光。
但第八段的最后一句Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work and hurry，一旦走出这里，人们又要回到日常生活中，面临工作、交通、压力和快节奏的生活，而要享受Huaplee Beach则需要暂时抛开这些，即答案为B。
答案 B4．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?A．He shouldn't have counted his blessings.B．He should have understood the wonder of nature.C．He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip.D．He should have come to the place earlier.解析推理判断题。
根据最后一句：“How could it take me so long to find it？”结合全篇文章所讲的在Huaplee Lazy Beach旅游的舒适惬意，可知作者是在感叹自己应该早点来到这里的。
因此答案为D。
答案D。

In science fiction TV programs such as Star Trek , tractor beams (光线) are used to drawspaceships and move objects For years, scientists have labored to reproduce this feat（技艺）. In 2013. they succeeded A team of British and Czech scientists, led by Dr Tomas Cizmar. say they have created a rea-life "tractor beam". like the kind from Star Trek . which uses a line of light to attract objects. at least at a microscopic levelLight control techniques have existed since the l970s. but this is thought to be the first time a beam has been used to draw objects towards a light source Usually when microscopic objects are hit by a line of light. they are forced along the direction of the beam After many years' research. Dr Cizmar's team discovered a technique that allows for the radiant force(辐射力) of light to be changed and to use the negative force to draw out certain particles（小颗粒）Dr Cizmar says that even though it is a few years away from practical use. the technology has huge potential for medical research In particular. the tractor beam is highly selective in the particles it can attract. so it can pick up particles that have specific characteristics. such as size or composition. in a mixture "Eventually, this could be used to separate white blood cells. for example," Dr Cizmar told BBC NewsIt has been a primary plot design in science fiction TV programs and movies to allow objects like spaceships to be trapped in a line of light But Dr Cizmar said this particular technique would not eventually lead to that A transfer of energy happens in the process On a microscopic level that is OK. but on a large level it would cause huge problems A large object could be destroyed by the heating, which results from the massive amount of energy necessary to pull it.1.
