Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend．There's a welcome familarity ﹣but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship．But books don't change, people do．Andthat's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative．The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register．It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings．But with reading, it's all about the present．It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader．Each has to pull their own weight．There are three books I reread annually．The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast．Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris．The language is almost intoxicating（令人陶醉的）, an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time．Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble（随笔）about everything and nothing．The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry．And because Cortázar．While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might addto the meaning I attach to them．But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest ________ a reader can pay them．The best books are the ones that open further as time passes．But remember, it's you that hasto grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends．（1）Why does the author like rereading？________A.It evaluates the writer﹣reader relationship．B.It's a window to a whole new world．C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend．D.It extends the understanding of oneself．．（2）What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast？________A.It's a brief account of a trip．B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man．C.It's a record of a historic event．D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris．．（3）What does the underlined word "currency" in paragraph 4 refer to？________A.Debt．B.Reward．C.Allowance．D.Face value．．（4）What can we infer about the author from the text？________A.He loves poetry．B.He's an editor．C.He's very ambitious．D.He teaches reading．【答案】DBBA【考点】社会文化类阅读议论文阅读【解析】这是一篇说明文．短文介绍了重新阅读的意义和益处并向读者介绍了作者每年重读的三本书．作者鼓励读者去重新阅读书籍．【解答】（1）D．推理判断题．根据文章第一段，But books don't change， people do． And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative．但是书没变，人变了．那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处；和第二段，The beauty of rereading lies in that our bond with the work is based on our present register． It is true，the older I get， the more I feel time has wings．重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理状态．真的，我年纪越大，就越觉得时光飞逝．可知，作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对自己的理解．结合选项，故选D．（2）B．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第二段，Published in 1964， it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris．"及"an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time"．这本书出版于1964年，这是他关于20世纪20年代在巴黎的经典回忆录，是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾．可知，A Movable Feast是关于海明威年轻时的生活．结合选项，故选B．（3）B．词义猜测题．根据文章第四段，But I imagine that， while money is indeed wonderful and necessary， rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them．但是我想，虽然金钱确实是美好的，也是必要的，但是重读作者的作品是读者能够支付给他们的最高___． while money is indeed wonderful and necessary，虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的，可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，"rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them．"意为"但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报"，由此判断出划线词的意思是"回报"．结合选项，故选B．（4）A．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第二段，The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight： selected poems， because poetry．第三本书是胡里奥•科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城：诗歌精选》，因为诗歌．可知，作者是非常喜欢诗歌的，结合选项，故选A．3. Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries．It does, however, have its own problem．Race walkers are conditioned athletes．The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50﹣kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon．But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact（接触）with the ground at all times．It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractiveactivity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass．Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says．According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories（卡路里）per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1, 0000 or more calories per hour．However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr． Norberg says．According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step．As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner's knee, are uncommon among race walkers．But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport．In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says．It takes some practice．（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？________A.They must run long distances．B.They are qualified for the marathon．C.They have to follow special rules．D.They are good at swinging their legs．．（2）What advantage dose race walking have over running？________A.It's more popular at the Olympics．B.It's less challenging physically．C.It's more effective in body building．D.It's less likely to cause knee injuries．．（3）What is Dr． Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？________A.Getting experts' opinions．B.Having a medical checkup．C.Hiring an experienced coach．D.Doing regular exercises．．（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？________A.Skeptical．B.Objective．C.Tolerant．D.Conservative．【答案】CDAB【考点】说明文阅读阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】这是一篇说明文．短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议．【解答】（1）C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段，But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times．但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的全部时间都保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触．可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则．结合选项，故选C．（2）D．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段，As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers．一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者膝盖部分的损伤，这种膝盖损伤在竞走者中并不常见．可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤．结合选项，故选D．（3）A．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段，In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique．事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧．可知，Dr．Norberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议．结合选项，故选A．（4）B．观点态度题．根据文章第一段，Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries．It does，however，have its own problem．研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤．不过，它也有自己的问题．由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的．A．Skeptical怀疑的；B．Objective中立的；C．Tolerant 宽容的；D．Conservative 保守的，结合选项，故选B．4. The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research．Recent studies have found positive effects．A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime．In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants．The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT） have taken it a step further ﹣ changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions．These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater．"We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day, " explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT．One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow（发光） in experiments using some common vegetables．Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three ﹣and﹣a﹣half hours．The light, about one﹣thousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start．The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self﹣powered street lamps．In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a on﹣off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime．The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight．Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US．Since lighting is often far removed from the power source（电源）﹣ such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway ﹣ a lot of energy is lost during transmission（传输）．Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy．（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？________A.A new study of different plants．B.A big fall in crime rates．C.Employees from various workplaces．D.Benefits from green plants．．（2）What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers？________A.To detect plants' lack of water．B.To change compositions of plants．C.To make the life of plants longer．D.To test chemicals in plants．．（3）What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future？________A.They will speed up energy production．B.They may transmit electricity to the home．C.They might help reduce energy consumption．D.They could take the place of power plants．．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？________A.Can we grow more glowing plants？B.How do we live with glowing plants？C.Could glowing plants replace lamps？D.How are glowing plants made pollution﹣free？．【答案】DACC【考点】说明文阅读科教类阅读【解析】文章主要介绍研究人员研发一种会发光的植物，它们可以在黑暗处发出光，甚至可能代替路灯．【解答】（1）D．段落大意题．根据第一段的A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example，discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime．In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants．例如，在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现，城市中较绿色的地区犯罪率较低，而在另一个地区，当工作场所装饰室内植物时，员工的工作效率提高了15%．可知，本段主要介绍绿色植物的好处．故选D．（2）A．细节理解题．根据第二段的These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater．其中包括在叶子上印上传感器以显示缺水的植物，以及能够检测地下水中有害化学物质的植物．可知，麻省理工学院工程师在植物叶子上打印的传感器的功能是检测植物的缺水情况．故选A．（3）C．推理判断题．根据第三段的 The technology， Strano said， could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self﹣powered street lamps．斯特拉诺说，这项技术有朝一日可以用来照亮房间，甚至可以把树变成自动供电的路灯．可知，我们预计这些发光的植物将来可能有助于减少能源消耗．故选C．（4）C．标题判断题．根据全文和第三段 One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow （发光）in experiments using some common vegetables…The technology，Strano said， could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self﹣powered street lamps．他最近的一个项目是用一些普通蔬菜做实验，让植物发光……斯特拉诺说，这项技术有朝一日可以用来照亮房间，甚至可以把树变成自动供电的路灯．可知，文章主要介绍一种会发光的植物可能代替路灯．Could glowing plants replace lamps？是合适的标题．故选C．第二节（满分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佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．A Few

2021年全国统一新高考英语试卷（新课标Ⅰ）ARome can be pricey for travelers,which is why many choose to stay in a hostel（旅社）.The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around ＄25 a night,and for that,you'll often get to stay in a central location （位置）with security and comfort.Yellow HostelIf I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome,it would be Yellow Hostel.It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city,and for good reason.It's affordable,and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy.As an added bonus,it's close to the main train station.Hostel Alessandro PalaceIf you love social hostels,this is the best hostel for you in Rome.Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun.Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots,bar crawls and karaoke.There's also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.Youth Station HostelIf you're looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel,look no further than Youth Station.It offers beautiful furnishings and beds.There are plenty of other benefits,too；it doesn't charge city tax；it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms；it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.Hotel and Hostel Des ArtistesHotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions.The staff is friendly and helpful,providing you with a map of the city when you arrive,and offering advice if you require some.However,you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.1.

"I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for thepast four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage."My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."4. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? ______A. Read music.B. Play the piano.C. Sing songs.D. Fix the instruments.5. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage? ______A. Boring.B. Well-paid.C. Demanding.D. Dangerous.6. What does Titterton need to practise? ______A. Counting the pages.B. Recognizing the "nodding".C. Catching falling objects.D. Performing in his own style.7. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worse page turner"? ______A. He has very poor eyesight.B. He ignores the audience.C. He has no interest in music.D. He forgets to do his job.CWhen the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America,the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimatea large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl（水禽）were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat （栖息地）.In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act （Act），an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory （迁徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vitalto their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines,Iowa,who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System- a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？A. Loss of wetlands.B. Popularity of water sports.C. Pollution of rivers.D. Arrival of other wild animals.9. What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？A. Acquire.B. Export.C. Destroy.D. Distribute.10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？A. The stamp price has gone down.B. The migratory birds have flown away.C. The hunters have stopped hunting.D. The government has collected money.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？A. The Federal Duck Stamp StoryB. The National Wildlife Refuge SystemC. The Benefits of Saving WaterfowlD. The History of Migratory Bird HuntingDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and "people skills". Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionallyintelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in Paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.

It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books．Now，I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation．As a novelist，Iˈve found a new relationship with libraries．I encourage readers to go to their local library when they canˈt afford to purchase a book．I see libraries as a safe haven （避风港）for readers and writers，a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book．Libraries，in their own way，help fight book piracy （盗版行为）and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can．Encourage readers to use the library．Share library announcements on your social media．Frequent them and talk about them when you can．12.Which word best describes the authorˈs relationship with books as a child？A.

And I knew that I lacked discipline. (What neither of us knew was that I was also dyslexic.)Writing was so excruciating that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic as an oral report — a one-act play, where I played all the parts. No one wheeze-laughed harder than he.So, why the sudden hectoring to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply:“Because I love your stories. And if you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.”***Few things motivate a writer like a bit of shameless flattery.I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. The story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant notion, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.What did the horse think, as he ripped through the night, his coat sloughing sweat, his eyes wide with adrenaline? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit?I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit.But, like Revere’s fabled horse, I kept going.I worked hard. I checked my spelling. With a dictionary. I enlisted my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read afew of them.When I handed in the finished essay, my teacher read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again. And no name. Entries are anonymous.”I wrote it again. And again and again. If I didn’t win, I didn’t care. I had poured a wobbly writer’s blood and sweat into something that made my teacher proud.【译文】在我上中学的时候，我的社会学老师鼓励我参加一个由我们家乡的一个组织主办的写作比赛。
