Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have n o living children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。

But four bridges are particularly unusual: each 26foot structure was fashioned from concrete by a giant robotic printer. They are part of a revolution (大变革) that is seeing 3D printers move from the tabletop to the construction lot.3D construction printers work a lot like homeoffice ones, except instead of ink they spit out concrete. Nozzles (喷嘴) run back and forth on rails, with computers controlling the time and speed, so that a layer of concrete is laid down where needed. By the time the slowmoving nozzle reaches the end of its path, the layer has usually hardened just enough to lay down another on top of the first, building up, layerbylayer, a homesized wall. With a precise pattern of deposit, the nozzle can leave space for windows, doors, and other design and structural elements.It takes about 24 hours of printing to build a 500squarefoot singlefloor home. “The printing process can complete the structure and finish the inner and outer surfaces at the same time，”says Jason Ballard, cofounder and CEO of ICON, an Austin, Texas company. “That normally takes 20 people representing five or six different trades to work several days.”3D construction printers are also less wasteful. A typical home construction site generates about four tons of waste. Because the concrete used in conventional construction is applied uniformly, regardless of whether it's needed for structural support in a particular area or not, about half of the concrete is wasted. 3D printers, however, can vary the thickness of a structure with great precision, using concrete only where it is really needed.So far, printing buildings has been a modest, lowcost affair. For instance, ICON printed a house in Austin, Texas, intended for families, at a cost of $10，000, and has a contract to print a total of six. Then it plans to take a printer down to Latin America to build 50 lowcost homes there.12．Why does the author discuss the nozzle in Paragraph 2?A．To analyze why the nozzle is so important.B．To confirm 3D construction printers are slow.C．To explain how 3D construction printers work.D．To argue the precision of the nozzle needs improving.13．What does Jason Ballard say about 3D construction printers?A．They are highly efficient.B．They are a little complex.C．They increase the building cost.D．They will replace builders one day.14．How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?A．By making a contrast.B．By giving examples.C．By describing a process.D．By analyzing causes.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Printed Bridges Become a Fashion in the NetherlandsB．3D Printing Technology Is Key to Housing ProblemsC．Your House Is Going to Be Greener in the FutureD．Your Next House May Come Out of a 3D Printer第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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

When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.But still, no invitation came.They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted:“You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.26.

Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem- solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open- minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventivetime comes in the early even ing when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time totune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.The trip you take to work do esn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞) , making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.1. According to the author, we are more creative when we are .A. focusedB. relaxedC. awakeD. busy2. What does the author imply about newspapers?A. They are solution providers.B. They are a source of inspiration.C. They are normally full of bad news.D. They are more educational than websites.3. By "tune into your wande ring mind” (in Para. 2) , the author means"".A. wander into the wildB. listen to a beautiful tuneC. switch to the traffic channelD. stop concentrating on anything4. The author writes the last paragraph in order to .A. offer practical suggestionsB. summarize past experiencesC. advocate diverse ways of lifeD. establish a routine for the future【参考答案】40.BCDA社会生活类阅读理解。
