能力提升题组训练(B) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Climate affects health When it comes to the effects of climate change,we usually think of melting icebergs(冰山) and rising sea levels.But few would imagine it could actually impact our mental health as well. A recent study by ecoAmerica and the American Psychological Association found just that.It was discovered that disasters linked to climate change could cause shock due to personal injuries,loss of a loved one,damage to property or even the loss of livelihood.When the negative emotions caused by these events eventually go away,they may be replaced by longer-term mental impacts. For example,both suicides and suicidal thoughts more than doubled among people in Louisiana,US,after Hurricane Katrina happened in 2005,according to the report. Nearly half of the people living in the affected area developed anxiety or a mood disorder such as depression. However,disasters alone aren’t the only causes of climate change-related mental health problems.Changes in climate also harm agriculture,infrastructure(基础设施) and livability(宜居度),which in turn affect jobs and quality of life.As a result, some people are forced to leave their homes and become so-called climate refugees. These effects can lead to a loss of personal and professional identity,or cause feelings of helplessness and fear. The effects can also have an impact on physical health.High levels of stress and anxiety are linked to conditions such as a weakened immune system. In addition,climate change is influencing the way communities interact(互动).Both long-term effects such as droughts and extreme weather,such as hurricanes, have been shown to make people more aggressive according to earlier studies. But there is no need to panic.The authors of the report suggested several strategies people can use to cope with the negative mental impacts of climate change.Susan Clayton,lead author of the report and a professor of psychology at the College of Wooster,US,said the most important thing is to encourage social connections,make people feel more secure and give them greater access to information. Another important factor is being prepared. “The fact that most of us ignore climate change makes the effects worse because we don’t really know what to expect and it seems scary and unknown”,Clayton told The Washington Post. “But if we inform ourselves that that’s what is likely to happen in our area,we would be more prepared and in control of the situation.”she added. 1.The article mainly talks about . A.the negative emotions caused by natural disasters B.why certain people react to climate change differently C.the effects of climate change on mental health and some possible solutions D.how the study of negative feelings led to a better understanding of climate change 2.Which of the following people could be called a climate refugee? A.A farmer who lost his kids in Hurricane Katrina. B.A fisherman who gave up his home due to rising sea levels. C.A man who experienced a typhoon suffering from depression. D.A woman who is extremely afraid of stormy weather. 3.We can learn from the last four paragraphs that . A.climate change has become a widely recognized public issue B.the public needs immediate access to information about climate change C.the threat of climate change is not as big as it seems D.the influence of climate change could be reduced if people prepared more 语篇解读:本文是议论文。本文指出气候对人体的影响及相关应对措施。 答案及剖析: 1.C 主旨大意题。全文指出气候改变对人体尤其是精神方面的影响及应对措施。故C项 正确。 2.B 推理判断题。由第四段“As a result,some people are forced to leave their homes and become so-called climate refugees”可知,由于天气变化的原因被迫弃家而去的一些人称之为climate refugees,可推知B项正确。 3.D 推理判断题。由后四段尤其是最后两段的具体描述和倒数第三段的论断可知D项正确。 B The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend,but the best part-particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all,the tomatoes: amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes. Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise,I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal-and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months. Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it. 4.What did the author think of her winter life in New York? A.Exciting. B.Boring. C.Relaxing. D.Annoying. 5.What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?

必修3 Unit 1 The world of our senses能力提升题组训练(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018北京海淀区高三二模)Why Do People Blink Their Eyes?People blink(眨眼)their eyes tens of thousands of times every day.Scientists have long believed blinking was an involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet.But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human eyelids.The journal Current Biology published their findings.The team said they found that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing.They said that when we blink our eyelids,the eyes roll back into their sockets—the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes.However,the researchers found the eyes don’t always return to the same position.They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report.He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.Maus said,“Our eye muscles are quite sluggish(迟缓的)and imprecise,so the brain needs to constantly adapt its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where they’re supposed to.Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink,and commands the eye muscles to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy.They said the movement acts “like a steadicam(摄影机稳定器)of the mind.”The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a flat surface.They used special cameras to follow the volunteers’ blinks and eye movements.After each blink,the dot was moved one centimeter to the right.The volunteers did not notice this,but the brain did.Itfollowed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot.After the dot was moved in this way 30 times,the volunteers’ eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.Professor Maus said,“Even though participants did not consciously register that the dot had moved,their brains did,and adjusted with the corrective eye movements.These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes,commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies’ own hardware.”1.According to the new study,blinking eyes can .A.serve to keep the eyeballs wetB.reposition eyeballs to stay focusedC.consciously correct eye movementsD.make our eyes adapt to motor signals2.From the experiment,we can learn that .A.volunteers could see the moving dot with special camerasB.the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predictedC.participants were aware of the dot’s movements to the rightD.the brain commanded the eye muscles to refocus on the dot3.The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.realizeB.refocusC.reserveD.reason4.This passage shows that .A.eye muscles are quite inactive and impreciseB.the research is of great value in the eye movementC.the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearlyD.volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dot语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。

Typically,the Games are awarded several years in advance,allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games,the IOC considers a number of factors,and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively.The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games.For instance,Tokyo,the host of the 1964 Summer Games,and Beijing,that of the 2008 Games,were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia.Because of the growing importance of television worldwide,the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city’ s time zone.Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada,for example,American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded,it is the duty of the local organizing committee —not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to provide them with money.This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues (收入),and corporate sponsorships,tickets sales,and other smaller revenue sources.In many cases there is also direct government support.Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games,the Olympics can be financially risky.If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected,the city will be left with large debts.1. will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.A.A city that submits a proposalB.A majority winner in votingC.A city that has perfect time zoneD.One that hasn’t hosted the Games2.If the Games take place in Canada,American television networks .A.will not pay for the Canadian television networksB.will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting eventsC.can’t broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hoursD.are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rights3.According to the last paragraph,which following statement is true?A.The host city must be left with large debts.B.There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic Games.C.The city may gain a lot of money.D.It is impossible that the host city couldn’t make money.4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A.Winner or loserB.Applying for host for the OlympicsC.How to host the Olympic GamesD.The Olympic Games语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍了申办奥运会的流程。

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018江苏苏州一模) In English the sky is blue,and the grass is green.But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for both sky and grass:xanh.For decades cognitive(认知的) scientists have pointed to such examples as evidence that language largely determines how we see color.But new research with four-to six-month-old babies indicates that long before we learn language,we see up to five basic categories of color—a finding that suggests a stronger biological element to perceive(感知) color than previously thought.The study,published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA,tested the color-discrimination abilities of more than 170 British babies.Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent staring at color swatches,a system known as looking time.First babies were showed one swatch repeatedly until their looking time decreased—a sign they had grown bored with it.Then the researchers showed them a different sample and noted their reaction.Longer looking times were explained to mean the babies considered the second sample to be a new color.Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors:red,green,blue,purple and yellow.“The finding suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions,but given your culture and language,certain distinctions may or may not be used,”explains lead author Alice Skelton,a doctoral student at Sussex.The study systematically explored babies’ color perception,revealing how we perceive colors before we have the words to describe them,says Angela M.Brown,an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State University’s College of Optometry,who was not involved with the new research.The results add a new challenge to the long nature-versus-nurture debate and the so-called Sapir Whorf hypothesis(假设)—the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language.In future work,Skelton and her colleagues are interested in testing babies fromother cultures.“The way language and culture interact is a really interesting question,”she says.“We don’t yet know the exact systems,but we do know how we start off.”1.What’s the finding of the new research?A.It clarifies what makes babies perceive colors.B.It proves human color recognition is inborn.C.It finds how many colors babies can perceive.D.It shows the color culture is shaped by language.2.According to the new research,we can learn that .A.swatches affect babies in memory and attentionB.longer looking times are based on the psychologyC.researchers determine babies’ color perceptionD.babies can tell the differences of some colors3.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Rainbow in the Baby’s WorldB.A Journey to the World of ColorsC.A New Challenge:Language vs.CultureD.Different Babies,Different Color Perception语篇解读:本文是说明文。

2020版译林英语高二必修一Unit 1能力提升题组训练B卷附答案解析
2020版译林英语高二必修一Unit1能力提升题组训练B卷Ⅰ.阅读理解AThere was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals a day was a luxury.Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books.She would wear overly long dresses to school so her classmates wouldn’t notice her bare feet.Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs.daughters should be raised.However,a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side.The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school.Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either,she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework,and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks.She could have complained her fate and quit school.Instead,she chose to look at it as extra practice.Invariably,she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school,fighting against her circumstances all the way,every single day.It was the night before finals.She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal.It represented an entire year’s worth of her work.She was so absorbed in her schoolwork that she forgot to look at the clock.It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet.That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove.Through blurry eyes,she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames.In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading,she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side,and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous owners as unusable.She then measured and hand-cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of100pages.She could have broken down beyond hope at this point.Instead,when life handed her lemons,she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted.She served her father dinner,and after he went to bed,she set about recreating an entire year’s worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp,because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying.This time,she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded.She still ended up topping her class anyway.She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math,Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry.She made the best lemonade in her life!1.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The girl’s father treated her very well.B.The girl stole paper from her colleague.C.The girl complained her life and quit school.D.The girl ranked No.1when she graduated.2.Why her father was so angry?A.The girl didn’t cook for him.B.The girl didn’t do well at school.C.The girl made the lemonade.D.The girl wasted electricity studying.3.Which of the following words can best describe the girl?A.poor and complainingB.determined and hardworkingC.forgetful and carelessD.sympathetic and helpful4.What is the best title of this passage?A.A Brave Young GirlB.Be YourselfC.The Best Lemonade in LifeD.Study is Very Important语篇解读:本文是记叙文,讲述了一位出身贫寒但一直努力奋斗成才的女孩的故事。
