That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.4. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.5. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.6. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.7. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.CImagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?8. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A. SeeingB. StandingC. WalkingD. Hearing9. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A. to protect the technology.B. for the sake of safety.C. to protect the environment.D. to threat other countries.10. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.11. How is this technology used in agriculture?A. It can help improve the production of crops.B. It can help kill pests.C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D. It can help increase farm land.DAs summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill (灌输) a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe(敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.12. We can learn from the first paragraph about the author?A. He is an adventurous person by natureB. He likes challenging himself by travellingC. He enjoys travelling with other adventurersD He needs others’ help when going on an adventure13. Which of the following can make people’s adventure more enjoyable according to the author？A. Going to different countries.B. Going to unfamiliar places.C. Travelling withtheir family or friends.D. Travelling to distant places by themselves.14. What will the author do this summer？A. Explore Niagara Falls.B. Hike in the Grand Canyons.C. Camp out in upstate New York.D. Hike and camp out in Maine.15. Who is probably the author?A. A high school student.B. A college student.C. A friendly guide.D. A warm-hearted teacher.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

the thousands of editions,published in numerous countries,and dating back to the first issue in February 1922,is always a task we enjoy doing.This collection offers a wide range of different subjects.Each one we hope will inform,delight,amuse and perhaps even confound(使惊讶) our readers:from stepping inside the French artistPierre-Auguste Renoir’s inner circle of friends(‘Renoir’s Invitation To A Party’,page 90),to finding peace from depression in a solitary walk on the beach(‘The Day At The Beach’,page 110)and meeting a cat who held a family together as they began to fall apart(‘A Pretty Good Teacher,For A Cat’,page 22).My favourite article,‘Exploits Of Charles’(page 104),is written by a mother about the increasingly odd behaviour of a little boy in her young son’s kindergarten class.What a handful thi s young Charles proves to be.Hispoormother!,she thinks to herself.I’m certain you’ll enjoy this amusing and relatable account of a small boy adjusting to his new classmates and teacher.With an endless supply of wonderful stories,surprising insights and ex periences to share,Reader’sDigest remains a place to find fresh perspectives—and a great read.Happy

acknowledgement.B(安徽池州一模)Miss Baugh taught seventh-grade social studies.She was the kind of teacher that perhaps everyone has had at least once:scary.In class,she always taught us to take school seriously.She had been teaching for a long time and I was as afraid of her as anyone,including the boys who were typically naughty in the back row.But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap objects for pranks.One such prop(道具) had two parts:an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned,and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a pool.Of all the people I could have tricked,uneiss Baugh.At the beginning of the class,I opened her book and placed the props on one of the pages.Then I waited for the fun.When Miss Baugh saw the bottle and the spilled ink,she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with.The trick had succeeded beyond my expectations.But then I suddenly knew I had no control over what would happen neiss Baugh tried to remove the ink with a paper towel,she discovered it was just a piece of black metal.She picked it up,her eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly gaze.Then came the question:“Who did this?”After some hesitation,I raised my hand.Miss Baugh fie,and my classmates.And then,most unexpectedly,she laughed.“Well,it certa inly fooled me!” she said.She returned the props to me,andfor a few seconds a sweet little aged lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood.We got back to having a class.But something had changed for me.I began to realize that,if someone like Miss Baugh had a warm heart beneath that crusty surface,then other crusty people would probably do,too.That may have been the most valuable lesson I learned.4.Which words best describe Miss Baugh according to paragraph 1?A.Serious and experienced.B.Easy-going and selfless.C.Naughty and demanding.D.Scary and narrow-minded.5.What does the underlined word “pranks” probably mean in paragraph

people?Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap.Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read,it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else.Scientists say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other,live happily together and achieve more.Although comparing can be good for you,it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap.Thisis when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of CreateYourOwnConfidence.She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.“Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder.However,Goddard-Hill says,“Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock your confidence.”“Comparing down” is when you see so meone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you.This might make you feel you’re doing well,says Goddard-Hill,but it can also stop you wanting to improve.If your feelings depend on what other people aredoing,“Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” su ggests Goddard-Hill.Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you.If you follow social media accounts that make you feel youare failing in any way,unfollow them.“Find ones th at make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says.Finally,focus on your own achievements and how you can improve.“The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.8.How does a comparison trap affect us?A.It makes us focus on our own behaviour.B.It stops us from learning from each other.C.It prevents us from living happily together.D.It bases our feelings on others’ achievements.9.What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”?A.Both of them usually enhance our confidence.B.Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.C.The former is positive while the latter is negative.D.The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.10.What does Goddard-Hill suggest?A.Aiming to be our best.B.Trying to be the best.C.Trying to be a cheerleader.D.Valuing someone else’s achievements.11.In which section of the magazine can you find the passage?A.Achievement.B.Entertainment.C.Health.D.Politics.D(安徽安庆二模)Homemade biodiesel (生物柴油) helps you speed past the gas station towards fuel independence.Our expert outlines processing used cooking oil in a small DIY plant.If you’re guiding your household towards a moreself-sufficient lifestyle,maybe you’d like to add do-it-yourself fuel to your list of goals.Biodiesel can be created from waste vegetable oil or animal fats,which you can collect free from restaurants,or you can grow soybeans (大豆) to press your own oil.Process the oil with a couple of chemicals to produce homemade fuel that can run any device—including pickups,cars,and home heating systems.First,find a reliable source of raw material.Try sourcing used cooking oil from restaurants,functional food companies.If you’re planning to sell your biodiesel,begin by analyzing the available raw material supply,and make plans to size your operation accordingly.Next,build your plant,sized to your raw material supply.A small family operation can fit in the corner of a garage,within the footprint of a single parking space.Allow enough space for a water heater,a tank for storing your incoming feedstock,and a tank for washing your fuel.For starters aim to line up enough feedstock to meet your family’s fuel requirements.If you’re collecting used cooking oil fromrestaurants,eaterial you gather will be water and bits of fried food.Water is not your friend when making biodiesel,so you’ll need to remove it by heating the oil and allowing the contaminants (污染物) to settle to the bottom before you pour the oil of the top.You’ll have to make a plan for getting rid of the oily wastewater.Home biodiesel production is not without risks.Making your own fuel will require great attention to detail and safety.Now you know the basics of how to make biodiesel,but you’ll need to research carefully before you begin production.12.Where can you get the materials of biodiesel?A.Oil plants.B.Varied restaurants.C.Abandoned garages.D.Local companies.13.What is the author’s attitude to the use of biodiesel?A.Tolerant.B.Positive.C.Unwilling.D.Opposed.14.What can we infer about biodiesel production from the last two paragraphs?A.It needs enough water.B.It goes without any risks.C.It requires little attention.D.It needs to be improved.15.What is the tee research on biodiesel.B.An eportance of biodiesel.D.One way to make biodiesel.Ⅱ.七选五(安徽淮南二模)Raising children is limitlessly rewarding but no doubt challenging.Here are some tips for raising a happy,healthy and responsible child.1 Studies find that kids who have televisions in their bedrooms are more likely to be overw eight.When a TV is in a child’s bedroom,you have no control over what he’s watching,and you don’t have any opportunities for family bonding time—when everyone lies onto the sofa to watch a favorite show.Get them used to doing chores from an early age.We all know a parent who still makes her high school daughter’s lunch every day.2 By the time your two-year-old begins talking,he’s old enough to start helping around the house.3 If you really want to teach your teen about money,then stop handing over t he credit card and the “allowance”.Instead,put your kid on a budget,open a checking account for him or her,and letyour teen really learn how to manage money.Tell your kid that all clothing,movies,entertainment,fast food,and cell phone bills will come out of his or her checking account which you fund. 4 Just make sure you also set up a savings account for your teen and insist that at least one third of any savings or money from you be put away.Imagine the future with your children. 5 By age ten,kids are old enough to start looking ahead and figure out the value of an education.Studies find that teens who can imagine themselves with a future are less likely to do those things that destroy a future.A.Get the TV out of the bedroom.B.Don’t find yourself i n this situation!C.Teach them how checking accounts work.D.Start an activity that you can do with your teen.E.If your son or daughter has a job,then cut back the amount.F.You reduce the risk that your child will engage in such behavior.G.It’s never to o early to begin talking to your child about his or her future.答案：满分练(一)

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校北京市2016高考英语二轮任务型阅读类基础精练（6）（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框A～F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
选项中有一项为多余项。
A. How inner beliefs can helpB. Why are habits so importantC. How to develop positive habitsD. Improve your lifeE. You can do itF. Action planThe single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.61. _________________________________Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same principle applies to finance, health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.62. _________________________________There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy, eat healthy every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition. The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.63.__________________________________If you want to be successful in changing your habits, you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits. For example, your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed.” If you ke ep this belief, you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long. Instead, you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body. Yoga makes me happy.” Y ou should analyze your beliefsand make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits. The same is true when you try to form positive habits. If you want to start eating healthy food, here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “He althy food is very good for my health. It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good.”64. ____________________________________It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits. Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of. For each positive habit, write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit. For each negative habit, writ e down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks. Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise, healthy food, reading, saving, studying, healthy relationships, hard work, etc.. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, overeating, shyness, etc..65. _____________________________________Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and commitment. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to quit, success will be yours.【参考答案】61—65、BCAFE【滕州一中2014高考英语二模】阅读表达（满分15分）The key word is practice! Practice, practice, practice!! There is no other way. There is no magic. The way to get better at listening to English is to listen to English. That’s the not-so-good news.The good news is there are many ways to listen and many things to listen to.Listening to English songs can be fun. But be careful! Most ________ use the language in a special way that you don’t hear every day. You don’t want to start speaking English like a poet or songwriter. If you do listen to English songs, listen to different ones. This will help you train your ears to different voices, pronunciations and rhythms.If you can, get a copy of the lyrics(歌词) so you can read them and listen to them at the same time. It is sometimes better to listen with your eyes as well as your ears—more information to help the brain.Watch English DVDs. But, this time, do not use your eyes to read the subtitles (字幕). Turn off the subtitles, because movies have so many other clues about what is happening that it is better not to use the subtitles. This forces your ears to do the work.Choose one character (人物) that interests you and pay attention to whatthey say and how they say it. If you can, repeat a line out loud after they have said it. Teach yourself one or more sayings, phrases or ways of talking that you will use after watching the movie. A new and growing resource of English language for listening can be found in blogs. Blogs are in MP3 format and can be loaded first onto your computer and then onto your MP3 player for very convenient take-with-you listening.You can find many English listening practices are fun, new, educational and in unending supply.66.

2021届延庆区第二中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案
2021届延庆区第二中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项A“Why do I feel cold when I have a fever?” “Why does the sun rise in the east?” I knew the day would come when my little girl Sophie would learn to talk and inevitably (不可避免地) start askingthose questions. The questions themselves weren’t worrying me. I was actually looking forward to seeing where her curiosity would lie.What was bothering (烦恼) me was whether or not I would know the answers. In the age of the smartphone, this may seem like a silly worry. The answers to almost everything would be just one Google away.Still, I struggled with how I was going to prepare to become an all-knowing mother. Then one day, it struck me: I didn’t need to have all the answers. What a great example I could set if I let my daughter know that I, too, was still learning. And I realized how much more I could learn if I took another look at things I thought I already knew the answer to with the curiosity of a child. My little girl’s mind is a beginner’s mind--- curious, open to new ideas, eager to learn, and not based on knowledge that already exists. I decided that I would deal with her questions with a beginner’s mind, too.Once I decided to become more curious, I started noticing that curiosity was becoming more important in the workplace, too. It seems that leaders don't need to have all the answers, but they do need to be curious.Curious about curiosity, I searched for answers and found Albert Einstein’s famous words, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately (热情地) curious.” We mightquibble overthe view that Einstein had no special talent, but there is one thing for certain---he wouldn't have solved the puzzles of the universe without his passionate curiosity. Then I came across another Einstein quote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason or existence.”1. The advantage of having a beginner’s mind is that ________.A. people can learn much faster.B. people won't be afraid to make mistakes.C. people are willing to receive new things.D. people won't be expected to answer all questions.2. What does the example of Einstein’s words show?A. Einstein was passionate about curiosity.B. Einstein’s quotes are very famous.C. Curiosity is of great significance.D. Curiosity is more necessary than talent.3. What does the underlined phrase “quibble over” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fight against.B. Argue about.C. Work out.D. Agree withBThe cumulative rainfall in Henan province during the four days was the highest since the province has records, the provincial meteorological service said. The rain was heaviest in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, for a short period on Monday and Tuesday. Northern, western and central parts of Henan also experienced downpours, the service said. Zhengzhou's biggest one-hour precipitation (降水量) —201.9 mmbetween 4 and 5 pm on Tuesday—was also the highest on the Chinese mainland. The previous record was 198.5 mmin the village of Linzhuang in Zhumadian in August 1975, the National Meteorological Center said. The city's precipitation duringthe four days exceeded that of its average annual precipitation, the center said.Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said abundant water vapor (水蒸气) brought by Typhoon In-Fa and the province's special geographical features led to Henan's rain. “Partly affected by the typhoon, large amounts of water vapor have been transported to China's inland areas, including Henan,” he said.From Thursday to Monday, rain was forecast to continue in Henan. However, rainfall will gradually subside in Zhengzhou and the province's northern and central regions, though the storms will increase the risk of mountain torrents and other geological disasters. By Monday, lighter rain is forecast for parts of Henan, the provincial weather service said. However, local authorities are still urged to bevigilantand prepare to prevent or cope with flooding and other possible disasters.Predicting such weather events remains a challenge worldwide because it involves many meteorological phenomena, the center said. “The formation of this kind of extreme weather, including rainstorms and high temperatures, is complex,” Chen said. “We still lack effective solutions and methods for such forecasting”, he said. “We are now putting a lot of effort into tackling the difficulty. We believe that as the technology improves, we can better forecast the events.”4. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the first paragraph?A. heavy rain fell in Zhengzhou.B.

Where might the text be most probably taken from?A. history book.B. A novel.C. A news report.D. A science magazine.CIn recent years, with the development of technology, it is common to see robots into our homes in the form of toys and vacuums (吸尘器) without question. Children’s toys that rely on robotics for both entertainment and education are becoming more popular and more easily accessible. Robot vacuums, too, are so popular that the Roomba has even earned itself a name in popular television.A selection of other household wares can be purchased and owned for a reasonable cost, but they all look and perform like vacuums. Our domestic helpers are currently designed to vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and mowing.Of course the best known of these is the Roomba, but there is actually some competition amongst the autonomous vacuum manufacturers. Roomba, made by iRobot, now comes in several designs and has been through many versions of improvements. The basic model is just about $400, but there’s a more attractive version, complete with a wireless command center to control the robot from anywhere in the home. Samsung also has a vacuum, called the Smart Tango, which makes increased improvements on the Roomba by including brushes for cleaning corners. It’s possible that some of the less well-known vacuums might be even more exciting, like the Neato Robotics XV that takes on a square shape to better clean corners. Incremental (增值的) improvements are what drive the home robot industry.Now that domestic robots are becoming more popular, the near future should be exciting. If we are going to welcome robots into our lives and our homes, we should expect them to work for it, and work hard. It’s the dawnof the robot revolution, whether we like it or not, and it would be great to see that technology put to use in more innovative(创新的) ways.8. What does Roomba in the passage mean?A. A man’s name who has bought a domestic robot.B. A name of a big company who makes robots.C. A type of vacuum whose name is Roomba.D. A place where people can buy proper robots.9. The Smart Tango is different from other types in that ________.A. it has a wireless command centerB. it has brushes for cleaning cornersC. it is more famous and excitingD. it is driven without electricity10. What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A. Domestic robots will free us from housework.B. Domestic robots will become cheaper and cheaper.C. Domestic robots have brought environmental revolution.D. Domestic robots takes the lead in science and technology.11. What does the author intend to tell in the passage?A. Domestic robots are closely related to our daily life.B. It is interesting to see domestic robots at home.C. Domestic robots are too expensive for most people.D. It is convenient to buy a domestic robot.DThe COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗）rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量）by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?A. Meaningful.B. Obvious.C. Inspiring.D. Complex.14. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-FebruaryC. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them toD. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
2021届新高考英语二轮复习题型混合练(1) 含答案及解析
2021届新高考英语二轮复习题型混合练（1）一、The Trades Union Congress(TUC) has urged the government to use high productivity from the greater use of robots and artificial intelligence to reverse(推翻) planned changes to the state retirement age.Before its annual congress in Brighton, the TUC said higher productivity thanks to technological innovation(革新) ought to bring greater benefits for working people. It said recent progress had mainly benefited business owners, rather than being shared across the workforce through better wages and working conditions. Frances O'Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: "Robots and Al could let us produce more for less, promoting national prosperity. But we need a debate about who benefits from this wealth, and how workers get a fair share."There have been previous waves of technological advances since the first Industrial Revolution, when inefficient jobs have been replaced by machines or the number of people required to do work has been reduced. Such advances have not led to a total loss of jobs, but have disturbed the type of work people do.There are concerns that the current stage of innovation could be more damaging, while the rewards from higher productivity have not necessarily led to higher wages. The latest available figures show low unemployment unseen since the mid-1970s, but growth in real wages remains negative.In 1950, almost one in three workers worked in manufacturing, while one in twelve worked in professional and technical services. By 2016 the proportions(比例) had changed completely, but in the communities which were affected, the jobs lost in manufacturing were not replaced by jobs of similar or better quality. Wages in former industrial areas were still 10% below the national average.The increase in the state retirement age by seven years, which was controversially(有争议的) brought forward by the Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke, is expected to affect about 7 million people in their late 30s and early 40s. As well as reversing the proposal on the retirement age, the TUC said workers should be given the right to a midlife career review, while firms should invest more in workplace training. At present, the UK invests just half of the EU average, it said.O'Grady said: "Robots are not just terminators. Some of today's jobs will not survive, but new jobs will be created. We must make sure that tomorrow's jobs are no worse than today's."1.According to the TUC, the use of robots and artificial intelligence should result in ______.A.technological advancesB.higher levels of productivityC.benefits for working peopleD.more wealth of business owners2.It can be inferred that the waves of technological advances ______.A.had a great influence on the labor structureB.tended to be more damaging than constructiveC.were the outcome of the Industrial RevolutionD.slowly raised the real income of working people3.What can we learn about the proposal of David Gauke?A.It is strongly opposed by the TUC.B.It will help to create new types of jobs.C.It has produced a widespread influence.D.It reflects the real needs of economic growth.4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Technological innovation has contributed to people's wage increases.B.The government plans to delay retirement age, from which 7 million people will suffer.C.The use of robots and artificial intelligence is only beneficial to the national prosperity.D.O'Grady holds an idea that new jobs in the future must be ensured to be at least as good as today's.二、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。

Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. 71 When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how d01 act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what l want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way. 72 If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world. It's the intention. 73 The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. The matter itself is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. The key is that what decision you make. You are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all. If it later turns out that you seem to have made a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open. 74 What's best for me, too! Choosing what's best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. - 2 -
Another example ,a very exhausted mother can lose her temper easily and then she may become ill so that she can't support her family without earning any money. 75 So as we move through each day of our lives, let us learn to care about ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for others. A. How do you make choices? B. Discuss them together to choose your project. C. But how do I know what is really best? D. What is important is that we should pay attention to this presence. E. So it is very important for you to take good care of yourself. F. Even small or unimportant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. G. This then allows you to improve your decision, and make a right one. 【参考答案】71—75\FACGE

She’s planning to buy an eco-friendly dish soap with the natural fragrance of aloe. If the producer cares about nature protection, she will put more trust in this brand.
