Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?Founded in 2012, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day.iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven’t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn’t dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of e-books and audio books.The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. Theway the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, “iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”24.What does the author suggest people do in the unoccupied time?A.Read and think.B.Write and share.C.Avoid taking buses.D.Bring joy to daily routines.25.What can we infer from the PRC findings?A.The British benefit a lot from reading.B.Reading methods are more important than before.C.Digital technology are taking the place of paper books.D.New forms of books are changing the way the British read.26.How does iReader make the content easy to remember?A.By bringing fun to it.B.By making it useful.C.By using artistic designs.D.By taking users as examples.27.What is the best title for the text?A.iReader Prevents Reading from DyingB.iReader Unites Worldwide Book-loversC.iReader: The Best New App CreationD.iReader: Big Ideas in Small PackagesCI visited Elba last June, joining Mary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the throne (王权) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself in the splendid Viennese palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasn’t troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conqueror’s anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, and across it, the green mountains of the Tuscan coast. Napoleon spent only ten months here before making his victorious return to France and the throne.28. What did the author do for the visit to Elba?A. He did research on its past.B. He arranged transportation.C. He planned bicycling routes.D. He booked accommodation.29. Who might be the earliest outsiders to Elba according to the text?A. Napoleon and his army.B. Etruscans and other Greeks.C. Dorians.D. Romans.30. What does the underlined word “ensconced” probably mean?A. Settled.B. Locked.C. Cured.D. Controlled.31. What came to the author’s mind during his visit to Napoleon’s gardens?A. Beautiful views on Elba.B. Terrible living conditions on Elba.C. Napoleon’s ambition to regain power.D. Hardship of Napoleon’s return to France.DAn international team of researchers from the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world. Their online species searches follow the patterns of seasonal animal migrations (迁徙).Migratory birds (候鸟) flood back to where they reproduce every spring. That migratory behavior is accompanied by some human behavior. “In English-language Wikipedia (维基百科), the online searches for migratory species tend to increase in spring when those birds arrive in the United States,” said the lead author John Mittermeier.And not just birds. Mittermeier and his team surveyed nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants. Seasonal trends seemed to be widespread in Wikipedia behavior for many species of plants and animals.This finding suggests new ways to monitor changes in the world’s biological diversity. It also shows new ways to see how much people care about nature, and which species and areas might be the most effective targets for conservation.Mittermeier is encouraged by the search results. He commented, “I think there’s a concern among conservationists (生态环境保护者) that people are losing touch with the natural world and that they’re not interacting with native species anymore. And so in that sense, it was really exciting and quite unexpected for me to see people’s Wikipedia interest closely related to changes in nature.”Richard Grenyer, Associate Professor from the University of Oxford, says search data is useful to conservation biologists, “By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”32.What have researchers found about species searches?A.They strengthen ties among people.B.They affect the animal movements.C.They differ in language backgrounds.D.They reflect animal migration seasons.33. What is the purpose of writing Paragraph 3?A. To summarize the research process.B. To further support the research findings.C. To show the variety of species searches.D. To present researchers’ heavy work load.34. How does Mittermeier feel about the search results?A. S atisfied with Wikipedia’s service.B. Worried about Wikipedia behavior.C. Amazed at people’s care about nature.D. Sad about people’s not getting close to nature.35. Why does Richard think such search data is useful?A. It helps to aim at conservation targets.B. It increases interest in big data approaches.C. It keeps track of trends in biologists’ work.D. It pushes people to solve difficult problems.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，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。

（A）An exhibition（展览）themed on the classic Chinese animated film The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven（动画电影：《大闹天宫》）appeared at Shanghai Tower on Friday and will run till Oct.8.The exhibition shows photos and videos of the film, including original sketches（原稿）of the film characters which are being shown to the public for the first time.The Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, is a character from the novel Journey to the West, by writer Wu Cheng’en during the Ming Dynasty（明朝）. The novel is about four people’s adventures during their journey in the Tang Dynasty.If you go：Time：Sep. 25---Oct.8 10:30 a.m.---20:30 p.m.Place：The 53rd floor, Shanghai Tower, Middle Yincheng Road, the Pudong New Area, ShanghaiPrice：From Sep.25 to 30：68 yuan for eachFrom Oct.1 to 8：88 yuan for each; 168 yuan for two26．The exhibition will last for about __________.A．Two weeksB．ten daysC．one monthD．two months27．If Maria and her friend go to see the exhibition together during the National Day holiday, they will spend __________.A．136 yuan B．176 yuanC．168 yuan D．336 yuan28．We can probably read this material in a __________.A．story bookB．textbookC．school noticeD．film magazine（B）Welcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror （镜子）. Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging nanotechnology treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles, which are very tiny in size and can be programmed to change your clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves（袖子）. Nano-sized “smart technology” is all around you. “Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network,” says scientist Ampy Buchholz.So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example-what will be the next?29．According to the passage, what will happen in 2035?A．People will live to be 150.B．Clothes will be much cheaper.C．Cars can change colour themselves.D．Food can stay fresh for a longer time.30．What does the underlined word “old” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Not freeB．Not freshC．Not expensiveD．Not young31．What will come true according to scientist Ampy Buchholz?A．Technology can be highly dangerous.B．Technology can take the place of humans.C．Technology can cause stress for people.D．Technology can become very common.32．What is the best title for the passage?A．Why Will Everyday Life Be Changed?B．What Will We Eat and Wear in 2035?C．How Will We Live in 2035?D．When Will Smart Technology Be Used?（C）We have all been there. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. In fact, the more you try NOT to think about a square of deep, dark chocolate melting in your mouth, the more you want it. You can even smell it!A food craving is a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Most people have them even though what we crave might be different. One person might crave sweet chocolate, while another might crave salty potato chips.Sometimes the foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods. Or sometimes we crave foods from our childhoods, like American meatloaf, Polish pirogues or Vietnamese pho. Other times the cravings may be for something healthy but very specific, such as Japanese sushi or Korean kimchi.But where do food cravings come from? And how are they different from hunger?Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.”The website explains that when our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain, the hypothalamus, for more food. The hypothalamus （丘脑下部）regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then releases a chemical to start the appetite. And you eat.A craving is more complicated. It involves several areas of the brain. These areas make up the reward center of the brain. A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.”In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increase the probability of food craving.” So, the mo re you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time, lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave food from your childhood or have a strong desire for something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.33．How are cravings different from hunger?A．Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain.B．A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory.C．The more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it.D．Scientists call hunger “stomach hunger” but cravings “mind hunger”.34．All of the following foods are mentioned EXCEPT __________.A．Vietnamese phoB．Korean kimchiC．Swiss black chocolateD．American meatloaf35．What does the underlined word “fasting” probably mean in Paragraph 8?A．eating no food for a period of timeB．happening, moving, or doing something at great speedC．tightly and firmlyD．not changing your mind36．What can we learn about food cravings from the passage?A．If you go on a diet, it’s more likely for you to crave food.B．When we crave food, it shows that we are hungry.C．We eat when our brain releases a chemical to start the appetite.D．The foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods.（D）Museums, live music and malls---Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many people who don’t have time to enjoy these things. Th ey follow what is called the “996” work schedule---starting work at 9 a.m. and finishing at 9 p.m., six days a week.The “996” work schedule recently became a heated topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called “996ICU”. According to the website, the “996” work schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit （ICU）．This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most “996” workers do not receive overtime（加班）pay.Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. “I worked ‘996’ for nine months,”Zhang said, who used to work as a programmer. “I couldn’t sleep because of the pressure. So, I gave up the job at last.” However, the bosses of som e tech companies think the “996” work schedule is reasonable. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it’s a “huge blessing（福气）” for young workers to work “996”.“If you don’t do ‘996’ when you’re young, when will you?” Ma said. “If you don’t put in more time an d energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want?”Many people have questioned Ma’s thinking. In an article in People’s Daily, the writer said, “Valuing hard work does not mean it’s right to force workers to work overtime.”Cui Zhendong, a lawyer, told China Daily that it is against the law to use a compulsory （强制的）“996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law《劳动法》clearly states that workers should work no more than eight hours a day or no more than 44 hours a week.37．The “996” work schedule requires a person to work __________.A．9 hours a dayB．18 hours a dayC．54 hours a weekD．72 hours a week38．Why do many workers complain about this schedule?A．Because they have no time to go to the hospital.B．Because their health has been influenced.C．Because they don’t get enough pay.D．Because they can’t work well.39．According to the report of People’s Daily, bosses __________.A．worked “996” to achieve their successB．should support the “996” work scheduleC．understand the value of hard work better than workersD．shouldn’t force workers to work overtime40．What do we know from the passage?A．”996ICU” was set up to help workers get overtime pay.B．It is against the law to force workers to work “996”.C．It’s necessary for young workers to work “996”.D．Working “996” is an unusual problem in China.第二节阅读填空（共5 小题；每小题1 分，满分5 分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入41-45 空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their danghters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys' reading?To improve boys' reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called "boy-friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer". These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non fiction undet the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with book. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you lead for pleasure.(1) According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability?A. Social factors.B. Teaching methods.C. Personal preferences.D. Psychological differences.(2) Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?A. To persuade boys to read more often.B. To learn what boys are most interested in.C. To help boys improve their language ability.D. To show that adults are good reading role models.(3) When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.(4) What is the main purpose of the text?A. To show students ways to improve their reading.B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.D. To provile stratcgies that can help improve boys' reading ability.3、【来源】 2019年广东广州高三零模第28~31题8分"Anything you want, anytime you need it."The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed-a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card's and said: "Anytime: Starting Tomorrow."The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime's marketing had worked-it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, "What do you want? "All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more informationand looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: "Stop making trouble." Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.(1) What was on the front of the card sent to Chris LinA. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words"Anytime： Starting tomorrow".D. The words"Anything you want, anytime you need it".(2) Why did the company choose to send the cards to manynews reporters?A. Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.(3) What did Chris's research suggest about Anytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.(4) How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret.4、【来源】 2019年广东广州高三零模（D篇）第32~35题8分2021年广东广州越秀区广州市第二中学高三上学期高考模拟（D篇）第12~15题6分(每题2.5分) 2019年北京海淀区北京大学附属中学高三一模（D篇）第42~45题8分(每题2分)Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder（圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass（质量）against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardize individual nations' weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement—based on electric current—in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned."One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security, " says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. "If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world's metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all."Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. "Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths of even billionths of a gram, " says Robinson. "We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy."(1) What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?A. It's cared for with great devotion.B. It's used in religious ceremonies.C. It's beautifully designed and decorated.D. It's the most valuable metal in the world.(2) Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5?A. rebuiltB. removedC. destroyedD. upgraded(3) What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage.B. To make taking measurements more economical.C. To provide all countries with the same standard.D.
