Geocaching
This expensive but very cool GPS app makes it possible for the whole family to go geocaching, a high tech treasure hunt game. This app makes it unnecessary to buy a dedicated GPS device. The app taps directly into a database with more than 2 million locations, some within walking distance, and gives you everything you need to find treasures hidden by other enthusiasts.
SkySafari
SkySafari is a powerful mobile planetarium (天象馆) that uses GPS location to view the night sky. The app comes in multiple versions. The databases, even on the entry level versions, are large, requiring up to 940 MB of free space depending on the platform. You can learn about astronomy by viewing planets and stars, searching for specific objects of interest or looking at astronomical sightings in that night's sky.
Historypin
Historypin is a great tool to bring families together to share stories. You can learn about the history of any area by searching Historypin's world map by a place, time, or subject. Because there are a few different ways to use Historypin's bank of user contributed knowledge, as well as ways to add contents, you can learn how to access and create digital contents. That means sharing with the general public.

[2022·广东七校联考试卷]Shetara Sims had weathered some tough years. In 2012, her eldest daughter died from a car accident in Kansas City, Missouri. Last year, the single mother lost her job because of the economic depression. She had only $ 7 in her pocket as she headed into the grocery store one day last July with her 12 year old daughter, Rakiya Edmondson.
And then Lady Luck cut__them__some__slack. Sims and her daughter found a dollar bill in the parking lot. Maybe this was their day, they told each other. So, they bought a lottery ticket—and won $ 100.
But before they could spend their bonus, Rakiya had an idea. The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stories about a police officer, Tyler Moss, who had been seriously injured in the line of duty. He was in critical condition.Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member died.“The police were really there for us，” Sims said.“They came to see my kids. They were fathers, friends, and therapists.” Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss's family. Her mom readily agreed.
On July 10, Sims called the police and made an unidentified donation. Moved by her generous expression of thanks, the officers did what they could do best—they tracked Sims down. When she explained the family's motivation, the officers could hardly believe it.“Given her current financial hardship，we encouraged her to keep the money，” the department later explained.“She refused, saying the officer's family needed it and the police needed to know they were supported.”
By then, that feeling of support was shared. The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims, whom they described as“The Woman with the Heart of Gold”. Their goal was $10，000. As of January 11，2021, they received $165，405. Ever better：Officer Moss, who had a 1 percent chance of survival, is out of hospital and recovering.
4．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Giving them up.
B．Doing them a favor.
C．Ridding them of debt.
D．Inspiring them with all ideas.
5．Why did Sims and her daughter make the donation
A．To extend thanks to the police.
B．To make a name on the Internet.
C．To get additional financial support.
D．To set up a fund for the Officer Moss.
6．How did the police help Sims finally
A．They raised money for her.
B．They bought a lottery ticket for her.
C．They provided medical care.
D．They saved her eldest daughter.
7．What can we learn from Sims' story
A．Hardship makes a man wise.
B．Don't judge a book by its cover.
C．One good turn deserves another.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

[2022·唐山市二模]If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best selling writers credited the same secret with their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote：“It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson：“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens：“If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish (死亡).”
Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside—compared with on a treadmill (跑步机)—produces the most novel and highest quality ideas.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered (触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking—with your dog, a friend, or alone—feeds creative thinking.
The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create things.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move, etc.
8．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By providing background.
B．By borrowing phrases from great minds.
C．By giving definition.
D．By presenting well known examples.
9．The underlined word in Paragraph 4 means something ________．
A．causing a change
B．stopping progress
C．drawing attention
D．interrupting creativity
10．What can we learn from the passage
A．Nature exploration improves fitness.
B．Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.
C．Working indoors makes people less creative.
D．Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Exercise in Nature.
B．Train Your Brain.
C．Develop Your Creativity.
D．Walk for Wonder.

[2022·厦门市高三质量检测]It's mid February and along Britain's south coast gilt head bream (鲷鱼) are swimming from the open sea into the river mouths. And this summer, countryside visitors throughout southern England will catch sight of blue flashes as small red eyed damselflies fly across starry ponds. Both events are happening much further north than they would have 20 years ago.
Fingers point at climate change. As areas become too hot or dry, many wildlife populations are declining, while some species are showing up in places that were historically too cold or wet.
Our team, led by Alba Estrada, wanted to explain this phenomenon. If we could predict which species can and can't colonise (大批生长) new locations, we could decide which are most in need of conservation.
How far individual animals or plant seeds can move was long thought to be the most important factor. But according to our findings, other characteristics also turned out to be highly important. For example, how quickly plants and animals can produce, how well they can compete with other species for resources, and what kinds of food they can eat or habitat they can live in.
The result of this is that we might be able to predict which animals will survive under climate change. The wood mouse is found throughout continental Europe. As climate changes, we think the mouse will move north because it can breed quickly, live in lots of habitats, has a broad diet, and individuals can travel a long way. And consider the European ground squirrel. We think it might stay just in southeast Europe because it can only live in grasslands and climate change won't suddenly turn farms and forests into meadows (草地).
It's encouraging to know that some species are doing well under climate change. There are some headaches, however. Those gilt head bream are feeding on the local shellfish, which might be taking food away from the native fish. Small red eyed damselflies look great, but they could become all too common around British ponds and outcompete native species. Climate change is once again posing us some tricky conservation questions.
12．We can learn from Paragraph 1 & Paragraph 2 that ________．
A．people hold events to observe different species
B．visitors have damaged the homes of many species
C．species preferred extremely cold and wet environment
D．climate change makes some species move to new areas
13．What's Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．What factors can influence colonisation.
B．How far individual animals can travel.
C．Why some species are declining.
D．Where most species tend to live.
14．Which might stand the least chance of colonisation
A．Gilt head bream.
B．Red eyed damselflies.
C．Wood mice.
D．Ground squirrels.
15．What's the team's attitude towards the colonisation
A．Ambiguous. B．Doubtful.
C．Objective. D．Optimistic.

[2022·贵阳市四校联考三]Electronic media such as email, instant messaging, video games, and television, has influenced almost every aspect of our daily lives. __1__ While some media exposure can be useful and informative (增进知识的), too much screen time takes away from other activities.
Screen time becomes a particularly important issue when discussing children's use of media. Experts now recommend children's screen time should be limited to no more than two hours per day, including television and non school related computer usage. __2__
Unfortunately, it appears that this recommendation is not followed in most families. One recent study found that children between the ages of 8 and 18 spend nearly 45 hours per week watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Internet. __3__ Besides, much of the electronic media that makes up children's screen time is filled with inappropriate content.
__4__ First, never allow televisions and computers in your child's bedroom. Avoid using television, video games, and computer time as a reward for good behavior. Provide plenty of other recreational activities for your child to enjoy and set a good example for your child with regard to your own media usage.
It's important to serve as a model of healthy electronics use for your children. __5__ Keeping the TV on for background noise all the time and scrolling (滚屏) through your phone any time will teach your child bad habits.
A．Most children know more about electronics than adults do.
B．Kids easily grow dependent on technology for entertainment.
C．Parents should think of ways to manage their children's screen time.
D．This is more time than they spend doing homework, or reading for pleasure.
E．However, the effect of being all the time in front of a screen is not entirely positive.
F．So before you watch your favorite TV series, remember to set a good example.
G．Children under the age of two are generally encouraged to have no screen time at all.课下天天练(二十五)　阅读语言运用组合练

[2022·福州市质量检测]I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights, and I've learned something from doing it. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules—lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach is the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give myself a break.
The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving a chance to reenergize yourself, you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything—and “everything” includes reading two magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie—and, oh yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told myself that just because I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine.
So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show—I tape two a day—I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more energy, and I'm in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes afterward.
Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking, I know for sure it's time well spent. I'm refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new season begins, I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored.

2．Which of the following does the author agree with
A.Keeping everything straight.
B.Resting at any time.

D.Having a full schedule.
3．What does the underlined “it” in Para. 2 refer to
A．Everything.
B.Building a house.
C．My day job.
D.Working on a movie.
4．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Lifting weights changes people's life.
B．A little restoration helps go a long way.
C．Why people need to be in high spirits.
D．Ten minutes' break will work wonders.

[2022·南昌市高三摸底测试卷]We're all familiar with migration (迁徙): Wildebeests dash across Africa; Monarch butterflies fly across the Americas...But did you know that forests migrate, too
In his new book The Journeys of Trees, science writer Zach St. George explores an extremely slow migration, as forests creep inch by inch to more pleasant places.
“The migration of a forest is just many trees sprouting (发芽) in the same direction，” St. George writes. “Through the fossils that ancient forests left behind, scientists can track their movement over thousands of years. They move back and forth across continents, sometimes following the same route more than once, like migrating birds or whales.” This has happened over thousands of years, and climate change tends to be the driving force.
Of course, today, climate change is speeding up, and trees can't keep pace. Take California for example: It's getting hotter and drier and scientists estimate that before too long, Sequoia National Park may not be able to keep giant sequoias (巨杉).
“The scientists there had never seen anything like it”St. George says. “They worried, and I think at some point we will lose these ancient trees and that we will have to think about what we do with the places, and whether we should plant new groves where they are easy to grow.”
This is known as “assisted migration”—humans planting trees in other places where they're more likely to flourish. But this process carries risks—people can accidentally introduce insects and diseases to new places, where they may wipe out entire native populations. So, St. George writes, there's a debate among conservationists and foresters today: Should humans help the trees escape
“There may be cases where people are probably going to step in and help species move to places where they'll be more suitable in the future，” St. George says. “So far, there are no huge movements of citizen groups moving trees north. But that is kind of one vision of the future that the people I interview sort of hope to see.”
5．What can be learned about the migration of a forest
A.It is mainly the result of climate change.
B.It often follows certain migrating species.
C.It takes thousands of years to complete it.
D.It is very difficult to track the migration.
6．Why does the author mention Sequoia National Park
A.To stress the park is facing a severe situation.
B.To show trees fail to adapt to the climate change.
C.To prove the assisted migration carries risks.
D.To state scientists are hopeful about the environment.
7．What does the underlined word “flourish” in Paragraph 6 mean
A.Become valuable. B．Develop rapidly.
C.Grow well. D．Escape diseases.
8．What's St. George's attitude towards helping the trees escape
A.Skeptical. B．Supportive.
C.Objective. D．Disapproving.

[2022·广东六校高三联考]The days of stopping at one store and buying everything in one location are long gone. We've put together a list of items you shouldn't buy at some store and we show you where to get them.
Tuna
Essentially a product from Chicken of the Sea, 5 ounce cans of Van Camp's Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water are available for $1 per can at Dollar Tree. A similar product in the grocery store costs 59 cents more per can.
Olive Oil
Is it really worth buying expensive olive oil We don't think so. This 68 ounce Iberia Premium Blend Extra Virgin Olive Oil sells at Target for $9.69. Reviewers love this less expensive alternative saying it's great for pare it with a standard 17 ounce size of Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil—much less oil, selling for roughly the same $9.99 at the grocery store when it's not on sale.
Vitamins
You might not realize the savings you can reap on vitamins simply by buying them at a different store. A 100 count bottle of vitamin D softgels (软胶囊) can run to $11.29 at Walmart. A 180 count bottle of Trader Joe's vitamin D 1，000 iu softgels is only $11.99. That's almost double the amount.
Storage Containers
For storing food, children's supplies, or whatever your household needs maybe, there's nothing better than plastic storage containers. But why pay through the nose for them Albertsons has two half cup Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids food storage containers at $6.89. But you can buy six of those from Target for $7.99—four more for about a dollar.
Socks
Whether you lose one in the dryer or just wear them out, socks should be replaced once there's a hole or the elastic (松紧带) gets loose. Dollar Tree has a good selection of men's, women's, and children's socks. Women's mini crew socks come in a three pair pack for $1. A three pair pack of similar socks at Albertsons will cost $6.59 and there's much less variety.
1．How much does a can of similar Tuna in the grocery store probably cost
A．$9.69 B．$1.
C．$1.59. D．$7.99.
2．Which of the following items is best for storing food
A．A plastic dryer.
B．A 100 count bottle.
C．A special storage container.
D．A plastic storage container.
3．Where can you buy cheaper socks
A．At Trader Joe's B．At Dollar Tree.
C．At Albertsons. D．At Walmart.

[2022·临沂市高三一模]I had moved to Japan for a long term client consulting engagement. After a few days in a Tokyo hotel I moved to an apartment. After being moved in by my colleagues, it was time to get dinner. I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan. The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.
Unfortunately, after 45 minutes no pizza. I figured that my “easy” call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner. While thinking about what to do next, my phone rang. It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them. Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address, the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window. After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.
A few minutes later the pizza arrived. This is when my “customer delight” experience took__over. First, the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late, then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address, and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was result: one delighted customer (me), and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my two year stay in Japan.
Such “customer delight” experiences become stories I have used to illustrate what it means to truly delight a customer.
4．What did the writer do first after he moved in the apartment
A．Deliver flyers.
B．Place an order.
C．Call his colleagues.
D．Set about unpacking.
5．Why was the delivery delayed
A．The number on the flyer was inaccurate.

A．Disappeared. B．Dominated.
C．Promoted. D．Decreased.
7．What can we learn from the story
A．It's never easy to settle down in a new city.

C．One can't be too careful when placing an order.
D．A short term loss of benefit may reward a lot.

[2022·河南省高考适应性测试]The world's largest iceberg (冰山) is floating toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Scientists fear the iceberg could crash into the island and block major feeding areas for a large population of penguins (企鹅) and seals.
Satellite images show the iceberg has remained in one piece. It is estimated to be about 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide. It is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.
The British Antarctic Survey says it is concerned that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies.
Professor Geraint Tarling, an ecologist with the Antarctic Survey, says right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This means the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important.
“That means they have to go a lot further, they have to go around the iceberg, or to actually go further to find sources of food，” Tarling said. “And that time is quite important at this particular period of their life cycle.”
The breaking off of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. “What we're seeing with models and some observations now is the rate at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future，” Tarling said.
The iceberg also could damage South Georgia's valuable fishing industry. Fishers pay for the rights to catch Patagonian toothfish, icefish and krill (磷虾) in waters off the island.
Officials are hoping that changing weather patterns could direct the iceberg out into the open ocean, where it would, in time, break up and melt.
8．What will happen if the iceberg hits the island of South Georgia
A．Wildlife will lose their homes.
B．The iceberg will remain in one piece.
C．The island of South Georgia will disappear.
D．Feeding will be challenging for penguins and seals.
9．What can we learn from what Tarling says
A．Icebergs are coming off faster than before.
B．Penguins and seals' birth rates are increasing.
C．The iceberg's breaking off is caused by humans.
D．It's unusual to see the iceberg melting is speeding.
10．What does the last paragraph tell us
A．The present situation is beyond hope.
B．The weather patterns are controllable.
C．The iceberg is bound to melt very soon.
D．The crash of the iceberg may be avoidable.
11．What's the main theme of the passage
A．The changing climate in Antarctica.
B．The potential problems of the iceberg.
C．The island of South Georgia.
D．The population of sea animals.

[2022·贵阳市学期监测]There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners made for us.
Parkour (跑酷) practitioners, however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is attracting more and more people to it—there are 100，000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination (协调) and balance. So, the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the 2024 Olympics.
However, parkour practitioners themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”， wrote the website Next Sport Star. “It's a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”
Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”， wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It's great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
12．How do the parkour practitioners travel within the city
A．By following fixed routes.
B．By cycling.
C．By using their own ways.
D．By taking a bus.
13．What does FIG think of parkour
A．It is a dangerous sport.
B．It should be an Olympic sport.
C．It is becoming a normal sport.
D．It can become a healthy sport.
14．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A．Parkour is a lifestyle in the practitioners' eyes.
B．Parkour is a daily routine for the reporter.
C．Parkour is already an Olympic sport.
D．Parkour should follow the designed ways.
15．What is the writer's attitude toward parkour
A．Negative. B．Unconcerned.
C．Worried. D．Objective.

[2022·湖北十一校联考]One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. Rubbish of all kinds is piling up in landfill and polluting our rivers and the ocean. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is e waste—electronic items that are broken and not recycled. Now solutions are being found to give this stuff a new life.
Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded each year, partly because it's cheaper to replace them than to fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is one of the many projects founded around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault”．
As many electronic items contain valuable metals, another idea is e waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense—collections of e waste for recycling are “stagnating or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, director of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers should make appliances longer lasting and supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
1．According to the passage, which of the following statements is right
A．People usually choose to repair a broken electronic item.
B．UN reports that the number of e waste generated will nearly double by 2050.
C．E waste will be reduced if more projects like Restart Project are launched.
D．The e waste mining can help people who have found a fault to purchase items.
2．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean
A．Ceasing. B．Increasing.
C．Falling. D．Disappearing.
3．What can be the best title for the text
A．What is damaging our planet
B．What is significant for e waste recycling
C．E waste mining benefits us more.
D．New lives are brought to e waste.
4．What is the author's attitude towards the future of the problem
A．He is doubtful about it.
B．He is concerned but full of confidence.
C．He thinks it's just a piece of cake.
D．He supposes there's a long way to go.

[2022·合肥第三次质量检测]Sometime back, after a six year old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle, Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, far from people. Magigi spent most of her time within the reserve's protective boundaries, but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer. New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi's unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions. For decades, wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock (牲畜). But the new research shows that after lions are moved, most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers' living.
Across Africa, lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades, to as few as 23，000 animals today. About 3，000 remain in Botswana. The sharp declines are primarily driven by development—lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat. With less space set aside for conservation, lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans. These are usually farms, expanding around the edges of the protected areas. The lions eat livestock, which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas. Without a proper way to prevent these attacks, the farmers often turn to deadly force, shooting or poisoning the lions, which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.
“Rather than trying to move lions，” wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says, “emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place.” Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries, including hiring lion guardians (守卫者) to monitor these big cats, creating lion proof fences, sending out lion text alerts, and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high risk areas.
5．Why was Magigi moved to the reserve
A．To stop her from being caught.
B．To prevent her from killing cattle.
C．To get her to stay with her family.
D．To train her to get along with people.
6．What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa
A．Illegal wildlife trade.
B．Human lion conflict.
C．A natural disaster.
D．The lack of food in their habitat.
7．What can we infer from Maude's words in the last paragraph
A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.
B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.
C．Prevention is the cure for lions' attacking livestock.
D．It's impossible for lions to live with humans in harmony.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Big Cats' Relocation Proving Deadly
B．Lions Was Shot Dead after Attacking a Man
C．The Tragic Story of a Magical Lioness
D．Conservation Status of the African Lion.

How to Eat Better for the Planet
[2022·沈阳市质量监测]You are environmentally conscious and hungry. Here are answers to all your eco friendly food questions.
Does what I eat have an effect on climate change
Yes. __1__. About one quarter of the planet warming greenhouse gases are generated by humans each year. That includes raising and harvesting all the plants, animals, and animal products we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.
__2__？
When forests are cleared to make room for farms and cattle, large stores of carbon are released into the atmosphere, which heats up the planet. Also, fossil (化石) fuels are used to operate farm machinery and ship food around the globe, all of which generate emissions (排放).
Which foods have the largest impact
__3__. Cattle accounts for roughly the same amount of emissions as all the cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships in the world today, while plant based foods like beans and grains tend to have the smallest effect. Pork, chicken, and eggs are somewhere in the middle.
Why does meat have such a big effect on the climate
It's often more efficient to grow crops for humans to eat than it is to grow crops for animals to eat and then turn those animals into food for humans. A conclusion was reached by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 2017. __4__．
Is there a simple food choice I can make that would reduce my climate footprint
Consuming less red meat and dairy products will typically have the biggest effect for most people in wealthy countries. A number of studies have concluded that people who eat a meat heavy diet could reduce their food related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegetarian diet. __5__. If you don't want to go that far, just eating less meat and dairy products can reduce emissions.
A．Why do we need to change the climate
B．The world's food system is responsible for it
C．The greenhouse gases have an impact on our food
D．How exactly does food contribute to global warming
E．Giving up dairy products would reduce those emissions even further
F．On average, it takes about three pounds of grains to raise one pound of meat
G．In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein

[2022·太原市高三期末]I was invited to give a speech at a conference on education. I happened to sit next to Clay Parker, the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices.
For the last few years, I'd been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasingly concerned that students are not prepared for today's workplace. Buried in book knowledge, university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours. However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned seems useless. So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of technical skills—especially since Parker is an engineer himself—but I was way off__the__mark.
“First, I look for someone who asks good questions，”Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can't teach them how to ask good questions—how to think. The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality.”
Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today's workplace. It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with the problem solving ability in the minds of most employers.
The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much emphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question. We teachers are always blaming the students for giving wrong answers. Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions.
1．Why did the author ask Parker the question
A.To bring the CEO's attention to education.
B.To collect information about his company.
C.To ask for his opinion about the conference.
D.To know his requirements for new employees.
2．What does the underlined words “off the mark” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Mistaken. B．Not qualified.
C.Confused. D．Not professional.
3．What does Parker value his employees for
A．Teamwork.
B.Thinking ability.
C．Technical skills.
D.Professional knowledge.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.How to Hunt for a Job
B.Asking Questions Matters
C.An Encounter with a CEO
D.Problem solving Makes a Difference

[2022·广州市普通高中综合测试]What makes people so special Tool use, self consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩) have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as the human's exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.
Among the invertebrates, octopuses (章鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large brained, long living, social group based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human like culture and awareness.
Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families—grandmother, mother, and daughter—all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.
5．The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they ________．
A.are not easy to fool
B.prefer fruit to vegetables
C.have a special taste for food
D.have an awareness of equality
6．What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins
A.Social interaction.
B.Intelligence.
C.Tool using ability.
D.Fun loving spirits.
7．What makes dolphin culture special
A.They tend to hunt in groups.
B.Their hunting skills are passed down.
C.Their learning environment is favourable.
D.Their families are typically female controlled.
8．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.
B．Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18 month old human baby.
C．Dolphins are as generally regarded as the most advanced non human species.
D．Dolphins' ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher order mental skill.

[2022·长春市高三模拟]The history of microbiology begins with a Dutch cloth maker named Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1，600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses (放大镜) he used to examine cloth, built some of the first microscopes. He developed a technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses, some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”．
His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes (微生物). Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rainwater, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur's theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek's original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this__legacy．
In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way: “My work, which I've done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire for knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I thought it was my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed.”
1．Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek
A．A trained researcher with an interest in microbiology.
B．A curious amateur who made pioneering studies of microbes.
C．A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease.
D．A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery.
2．The underlined phrase “this legacy” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________．
A．the discovery of microbes
B．Pasteur's theory of disease
C．Leeuwenhoek's contribution
D．the origin of the tiny organism
3．What does the quote from Leeuwenhoek's letter suggest
A．He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.

[2022·唐山市二模]A 293 million mile journey of the NASA Perseverance rover (探测器) to Mars ended successfully on February 18, 2021, with a picture perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater. The car sized, six wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy, is the US space agency's biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial (微生物的) life on Mars.
Landing on Mars is extremely tricky. The Red Planet's gravitational (引力的) pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds, while its thin atmosphere—just 1 percent that of Earth's—does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.
The scientists had to reduce Percy's 12，000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph—in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees—any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the “seven minutes of terror”．
Upon attaining a manageable speed, Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.
The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy's scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover will begin to carry out its mission.
“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof，” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. “While we'll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples (样本) carry evidence that Mars once harbored life.”
5．What is the extraordinary challenge for the rover to land on Mars
A．The speed reduction.
B．The atmosphere analysis.
C．The location search.
D．The time management.
6．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Ways to find the precise entry angle.
B．Consequences of wrong entry degree.
C．Factors to survive “the seven minutes”．
D．Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.
7．What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 4
A．The spot. B．The area.
C．The system. D．The surface.
8．What can be inferred from Lori Glaze's words
A.Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.
B．Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.
C．Man still has a long way to go to prove life was on Mars.
D．Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the Earth.

[2022·太原市高三模拟考试(三)]Wearing a caveman mask, Dr.John Marzluff walks across the campus at the University of Washington in Seattle. Crows (乌鸦) circle and squawk (尖叫), diving at him and going away.
Beneath the mask, he smiles. Days before he and his students, wearing caveman masks, rapped them and placed colored plastic bands on their legs. Then they released the unhappy birds. When the researchers wandered around campus without the masks, the crows they had caught and banded did not react to them. But when the same humans walked by while wearing the masks, the crows scolded loudly and dived at their “enemies”．
At first, only the banded birds reacted aggressively to the people in masks. But in later tests more and more crows joined in, and even when the banded birds were not around. “Crows think and dream, fight and play, reason and take risks，” he says. “Their antics confuse us.”
This led him to study how crows' brains work. He and his students wore one type of mask as they captured crows and brought them into the lab, training them to link that face with danger. Then a different kind of mask for more positive activities, such as feeding and caring. Then he worked with scientists at the university who scan animal brains to see which parts of a crow's brain do certain tasks. Surprisingly, the scientists found that when the crow saw the “danger” mask, one part of its brain became active. When the crow saw the “feeding and caring” mask, a different part of its brain lit up. The team has shown that crows use the same parts of their brains for recognizing what humans do—something that was not known before!
More than 10 years after the first mask experiment, campus crows still scold the “cavemen”．Crows also recognize people who are kind to them. Crows are always watching us and they remember.
1．Why does Dr. John Marzluff smile
A.He intends to show his kindness.
B.He realizes his trick has worked.
C.He is amused by the happy crows.
D.He is embarrassed at the crows' response.
2．What does the underlined word “antics” in the third paragraph probably refer to

3．Which of the following words can best describe the crows according to the text
A.Sociable, intelligent and observant.
B.Noisy, dangerous and annoying.
C.Reasonable, cautious and aggressive.
D.Strong headed, proud and popular.
4．What can we conclude about crows from the fourth paragraph
A.They share the same wisdom as humans do.
B.They never forgive those who once hurt them.
C.They only recognize the people who are bad to them.
D.They perform tasks with different parts of their brains.

[2022·潍坊市高三联考]You've likely encountered the humblebrag before—boasting (吹嘘) disguised as a complaint, such as：“I'm having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I don't know what to do.”
This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims”. In simpler terms, it's a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility based, an example being, “I can't believe I got the highest grade in my class”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example，“I can't believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I'm 25！”
People don't like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people's identity. In fact, sincerity is prized even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.
If humblebragging doesn't work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we'll somehow land on the “sweet spot” of self presentation: promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.
Considering that we're all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go—because ultimately we're going to do it ourselves, and who really want to be called out on it
5．Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging
A．How I hate hearing my voice on TV!
B．I'm thrilled to be awarded the first prize.
C．I'm the only person to get promoted in the firm.
D．How I dislike doing the same thing every day!
6．Which can best describe people's impression of humblebraggers
A．Honest. B．Humble.
C．Insincere. D．Incapable.
7．Why do people humblebrag
A．To lift their spirits.
B．To express their complaints.
C．To improve their moral qualities.
D．To show off without bringing annoyance.
8．What are people advised to do when hearing a humblebrag from a friend
A．Follow it up.
B.Leave it alone.
C．Turn against it.
D.Get to the root of it.

La Tomatina (Valencia, Spain)
Launched way back in 1944 or 1945, La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list. It's also easily the happiest but the messiest, coming off like the world's biggest food fight.
Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade alongside musicians. The boys made the performers so angry that they tried to hit the boys, and a vendor's (摊贩) vegetable stand fell victim to the incident.
If you go, please follow some simple rules: Don't throw hard objects; squash the tomato before throwing it; keep a safe distance from tomato trucks and stop in time.

[2022·成都市高三摸底测试]The city of Richmond announced that Roscoe Burnems would become the city's first poet laureate (桂冠诗人), a poet recognized for achievements in poetry.
During his two year term as a poet laureate, Burnems is responsible for being a poetry advocate by providing access to poetry throughout the city and offering opportunities to use the power of words to heal wounds, open hearts and minds, which bring people closer together. He has the freedom to create and develop his own projects during his term and will receive a $4，000 annual bonus.
Burnems' love of poetry began at an early age when he was struggling against depression. His English teacher recommended him to read poetry, which later brought him a peaceful mental state and helped him recover from depression. He soon decided that poetry was something he would run after for his lifetime. “People gravitate__to poetry because they can find themselves in the poems，” he says. “It allows readers to feel the emotional part of their experiences.”
He says poetry is a great platform to discuss mental health, depression and the emotional stress that come with daily life. Relieving those stress is central to some of the work he does with young people. Last year, Burnems started a youth poetry producing competition for local high school students.
Burnems says he loves and supports different types of art, and his next move is to explore poetry through cooperation across media. Richmond's paintings on the wall are a good example. He says, “Richmond is getting known for these beautiful paintings on display across the city, and I want to add a literary component to that.”

[2022·太原市二模]A great deal of personal protective equipment (PPE)—for example, disposable masks, rubber gloves—has been used since the pandemic began. It is estimated that medical waste, including masks which take 450 years to decompose (分解) in nature, has increased by 60 percent during the pandemic. A survey by Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Research Centre found that masks and other healthcare garbage made up 16 percent of the total floating in the Cilincing and Marunda river in Jakarta Bay in March and April last year. Finding ways to change this is top of mind for some researchers.
The team at LIPI is experimenting with the disposable masks containing polypropylene (聚丙烯), a type of plastic that is tough but stretchable, which makes good raw material to produce various plastic products. At RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, researchers are making a mix of mask pellets (团粒), which help to add hardness and strength, and process building rubble (碎石) designed to be used for the base layer of roads and pavements. One kilometer of a two lane road will use around 3 million masks, preventing 93 tons of waste from going to landfill.
For the broader demand in mask recycling, TerraCycle, a waste management and recycling company, offers a Zero Waste Box that works like a recycling bin for used safety and protective equipment. Waste from hospitals and medical centres is not included. The box comes with prepaid return labels. Once full, it can be sent back to the company. All Zero Waste Boxes are quarantined (隔离) on arrival for a minimum of 72 hours to protect the workers handling the waste, separating the collected waste into fibers and plastics mechanically or manually. At last they will be transported to the company's various third party partners to manufacture a variety of new products including outdoor furniture, watering cans and storage containers, etc.
“Adopting the new recycling methods on a large scale would require a steady supply of waste masks in order to keep the machine running，” an official from the Association of Plastic Recyclers said, “but this never means those innovations are white elephants.”
8．What do the statistics in Paragraph 1 suggest
A．Seriousness of the pandemic.
B．The sufficient supply of protective equipment.
C．Environmental pressure brought by the pandemic.
D．The great effects of overusing medical resources.
9．How can the masks be recycled according to the text
A．By experimenting with them in the research.
B．By using chemicals to decompose them.
C．By changing them into building materials.
D．By burying them in landfill properly.
10．Why does TerraCycle offer Zero Waste Boxes
A.To stop the virus from spreading directly.
B．To protect the workers against the virus.
C．To help the hospital with its waste problem.
D．To collect household waste masks efficiently.
11．What will be further talked about after the last paragraph
A．Advocating the less use of masks.
B．Guarantees about constant waste mask supply.
C．New advances in preventing the pandemic.
D．Concerns about the management of the waste.

[2022·安徽省名校联盟高三第一次质量检测]There are many ways we can enjoy sport—watching it on TV or a smartphone, attending an event at a stadium or even playing the game. But for those who enjoy getting competitive with their computer gaming, there are realistic looking games to be played without leaving home. And people's interest in this type of sport—if that's what we can call it—has gone to a new level.
Initially, grabbing a controller and playing a game was an individual activity. But around 20 years ago computers became cheaper and the Internet became faster, which made it much easier for more people to get involved with computer gaming. This led to gamers connecting with each other around the world, so they could go head to head online. It also became a spectator sport, with people watching others play. The whole experience has been given the name “esports”—Electronic Sports.
Now, huge esports tournaments take place all over the world in big arenas (竞技场) with large crowds. Diehard enthusiasts, who have become first rate players, are now well known—some play together in teams. Its top stars can earn millions of dollars a year, without even breaking into a sweat! And fans from around the world tune in to watch the action online. The global audience is now estimated at more than 200 million and growing. Annual profits from esports, currently around 650 million dollars for events, continue to rise with billions more through the video games sales.
Famous football clubs are now trying to get in on the act. England's Football Association, for example, launched its first esports team this year, known as the eLions. It recruited (吸收) FIFA 19 players to represent them at the FIFA eNations Cup. Mark Bullingham, the FA's Chief Executive Officer, said “The FA prides itself on being a modern, innovative organization that tries to engage and inspire all generations of football fans.”
But while this virtual version of football might give footballers a chance to get closer to the real game, some might argue the lack of physical activity means it shouldn't be called a sport—and that the biggest winners are the companies who promote and sell esports.
12．What contributed most to the popularity of esports
A．The support from the public.
B．Cheaper computers and faster Internet.
C．The advanced sports equipment.
D．People's preference for individual activities.
13．What can we infer about esports from Paragraph 3
A．It has become a big industry.
B．It makes players get rich easily.
C．It will replace traditional sports.
D．It has a great impact on other sports.
14．Why does the author mention the FA in Paragraph 4
A．To explain why it has become interested in esports.
B．To tell readers it is taking the lead in hosting esports.
C．To show famous football clubs are getting involved in esports.
D．To state the officers are proud of its achievements in esports.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Rise of Esports
B．The Advantages of Esports
C．Esports Teams: Famous for Star Players
D．Esports Tournaments: Exciting and Fantastic Events

[2022·济南市3月模拟] Your preschooler is painting with fingers. Trying to be encouraging, you ask her, “What are you making with this mix of colors？” and she shrugs (耸肩) . Until you mentioned it, she hadn't given it any thought. __1__ They love the way it feels when they pour paint on paper, how it looks when they wildly drop glitter, and even the soft sound a brush makes as it crosses the page.
Most preschoolers aren't self conscious about what they're doing or focused on creating a finished product. __2__ But letting go — and allowing kids to enjoy the process of creation — can harvest big rewards. Children will be better off in the long run if they're allowed just to be in the moment and express themselves.
Fostering (培养) creativity won't just increase your child's chances of becoming the next Picasso. __3__ As kids use a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dive in science. Most important perhaps, when kids feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self confidence.
__4__ Set up an art space where your kid can be free to experiment. Throw a drop cloth or a newspaper on top of your kitchen table or in the garage. If weather permits, let kids paint outside. Avoid giving directions. Don't tell your kid what to make or how to make it. Instead of saying “Paint a rainbow”， encourage her to “experiment with mixing colors using different types of brushes and paper”. When a child finishes a piece, don't suggest additions or changes. __5__
A．So just prepare for a mess.
B．Preschoolers like to be alone.
C．Little kids are masters of the moment.
D．That can be hard for parents to accept.
E．Remember to warn them against their careless mistakes.
F．You're also helping him develop mentally, socially, and emotionally.
G．Let your child feel her creation is enough — even if it's just a dot on the page.课下天天练(二十七)　阅读语言运用组合练

[2022·贵阳四校高三联考二]NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless Ⅱ has died. You may not know his name, but you've probably seen him in one of the most famous pictures ever taken in space. In 1984, McCandless carried a jet powered backpack and flew away from the shuttle, by himself, untethered (不被绳索捆束的), with the Earth as a background. It was the first time that an astronaut had ever floated freely in space, and McCandless helped develop the technology.
Bruce McCandless had been an astronaut for a long time before he first flew in space aboard the shuttle. He was one of the ones who communicated with the crew of Apollo 11. While he was waiting his turn to fly in space, he helped design what became to be known as the Manned Maneuvering Unit — a backpack propulsion device that gave astronauts mobility for extravehicular (舱外的) activities outside the shuttle. McCandless first went to space in 1984 aboard the shuttle Challenger and took these jet powered backpacks along. During the mission, McCandless climbed into the 300 pound contraption (奇特的装置) and slowly eased out of the shuttle's cargo bay as controllers looked on.
It was frightening seeing McCandless out in space by himself. Relative to the Earth, he was flying at almost 18，000 miles per hour. But relative to the shuttle, he was moving at one foot per second. He said he wasn't nervous. He found it easy. He had trained for that moment for years, ready for anything.
By the end of that spacewalk, he had moved little more than 300 feet away from the shuttle when the famous picture was taken.
McCandless said he was most proud that children came up to him later in life to say they'd seen the picture. He hoped it would inspire the next generation of explorers.
Bruce McCandless showed the way. He finished second in his class of 899 at the U．S. Naval Academy and used his engineering skills to make spaceflight safer. He once said the first untethered spacewalk was a mix of personal excitement and professional pride.
1．What can we learn about McCandless
A．He was the first man to fly out of the spacecraft.
B．His spacewalk was not attached to the shuttle.
C．His name was familiar to the public.
D.He was fond of taking photos.
2．What did McCandless do before his space travel
A．He invented the shuttle Challenger.
B．He helped design jet powered backpacks.
C．He worked as a crew member of Apollo 11.
D．He trained astronauts at the U．S. Naval Academy.
3．How did McCandless feel during his spacewalk
A．Calm. B．Stressed.
C.Fortunate. D．Exhausted.
4．What's McCandless most proud of
A.Being known by children.
B.Being chosen as an astronaut.
C．Having a good performance in school.
D.Making a contribution to space technologies.

[2022·太原市二模]It's been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to re emerge in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, adopted by China's Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, people of Generation Z now have different opinions about what a trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of people of Generation Z—young people born after 1995—are well represented on Bilibili. The recent New Year's Eve Gala presented by Bilibili attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colorful set of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of the movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most watched films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“People of Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and make them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China's rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country，” Professor Zhang Yiwu said. He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generations is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age—they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first hand. So to some extent they lack cultural confidence.
However, people of Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
5．What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Foreign. B．Fashionable.
C.Traditional. D．Dominant.
6．Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A.To confirm the rise of new media.
B.To promote Chinese Internet industry.
C.To compare it with the movie industry.
D.To highlight the popularity of domestic art.
7．What do we know about people of Generation Z from the text
A．They have a stronger cultural identity.
B．They are longing for cultural diversity.
C．They have made China develop rapidly.
D．They have less sense of individuality.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Confident China, Better Future
B.China's Progress Results in Cultural Confidence
C.China's New Generation Redefine Local Culture as a Trend
D.Hanfu Style, Connector of Ancient Fashion and the Modern Trend

[2022·洛阳市第三次统一考试]Can you tell the difference between a glass of regular and diet soda No, you can't. __1__. That's where the trouble starts. Until recently, everything we have eaten contains some amount of calories.
So when we drink diet soda, the sweetness tricks our body into thinking it's real sugar but when those energy packed calories don't arrive, the insulin in our brain has nothing to store.
__2__. It's called metabolic syndrome, which is a mix of conditions that include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and strokes.
While drinking diet soda with the meal may sound like a tasty calorie free alternative to plain water, this may be the worst time to drink it because the cheating calories in the diet soda could finally destroy the real calories we metabolize. __3__．
Another problem could be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet soda can be 10 to 100 times sweeter than sugar. __4__. It's like when you go to a party expecting loads of food and you end up with a handful of vegetables. You're left unsatisfied and hungry.
In the same way, artificial sweeteners can leave our brains wanting more, which leads to increased appetite and potential weight gain. __5__， maybe just stick to water.
A.As it turns out, neither can your body
B.No, this was diet soda and it was awesome
C.When you go to a party expecting loads of food
D.Drinking diet soda is associated with a disease
E.So if you're drinking diet soda to drop a few pounds
F.And it potentially leaves extra calories behind which we then store as fat
G.So when we taste it, our brains expect more calories than what we give it

[2022·石家庄市高三教学质量检测]I stood in front of my entire lab and told them I had made zero progress in the last year. At the graduate program's annual presentation, highlighting students' successes, Michelle and I were taking a different approach and sharing our most painful failures. The audience sat in silence, apparently shocked. But we weren't ashamed. Quite the opposite—we were proud to be sharing our full selves and building a foundation for relationships.
Setbacks are an unavoidable part of graduate school, but too often we try to hide them. By sharing our whole selves, including our failures, we went on to build a deep, meaningful relationship. And we wanted others to experience that openness and support.
We began the workshop by presenting our stories onstage. Then we invited the participants to turn to one another and share their own significant failures. An awkward silence followed, as we had expected, but it only lasted a few seconds. Soon the students jumped into engaged and enthusiastic conversation. Students even formed larger groups as they realized how many of their colleagues shared the exact struggles they did. Even after the session ended, whispered conversations continued until the next speaker took the stage.
From that point forward, every presentation included some mention of the failures that led to the results. It reminded us that behind every impressive result is a person who is just trying his best. Since the workshop, we have noticed a sustained change in our classmates. The answers to questions like “How are you doing？” are more sincere and less perfunctory,__and several students have mentioned they feel closer to their classmates.
It's hard to relate to someone when all you know about them is their accomplishments. Talking about failure normalizes it and proves it's nothing to be ashamed of.
1．What do most graduate school students emphasize in their presentation
A．Their complaints. B．Their achievements.
C．Their failures. D．Their experiments.
2．How does sharing failures benefit students
A．It stops them from feeling ashamed.
B．It contributes to their school courses.
C．It helps them bond with their classmates.
D．It reduces their fear of presentation.
3．What does the underlined word “perfunctory” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．Rude. B．Casual.
C．Detailed. D．Direct
4．What can we know about the participants
A．They were active for most of the workshop.
B．They kept silent all through the workshop.
C．They whispered softly during others' speech.
D．They felt shocked by others' failures.

[2022·豫北名校联考]By now it's almost common knowledge that spending time in nature is good for you. Areas with more trees tend to be less polluted, so spending time there allows you to breathe easily. Spending time outdoors has been linked with reduced blood pressure and stress and seems to motivate people to exercise more.
“So it'll come as no surprise that there's research showing that spending time in nature is good. There are dozens of papers showing that，” University of Exeter Medical School researcher Mathew P．White said. “We get this idea—patients are coming to us and they are asking, ‘Doctor, how long should I spend？’And the doctor is saying, ‘I don't really know’．”
So White and his team decided to find out by using data collected from nearly 20，000 people in England through the Monitor of Engagement with the Natural Environment Survey. And their answer is two hours a week. People who spent at least that much time in nature either all at once or totaled over several shorter visits were more likely to report good health and psychological well being than those with no nature exposure.
Remarkably the two hour standard applied to men and women, to older and younger folks, to people from different ethnic backgrounds, occupational groups, socioeconomic levels, and so on. Even people with long term illnesses or disabilities benefited from time spent in nature—as long as it was at least 120 minutes per week.
While the findings are based on a vast number of people, White cautions that it's really just a correlation. Nobody knows why or how nature has this benefit, or whether the findings will stand up to a more strict investigation.
“I want to be really clear about this. This is in very early stages. We're not saying everybody has to spend 120 minutes. This is really to start the conversation, saying, what would a threshold look like What research do we need to take this to the next step before doctors can have the true confidence to work with their patients？But it's certainly a starting point.”
5．What does White want to figure out in the survey
A．The benefits of being outside.
B．How long we should stay in nature.
C．The significance of outdoor activities.
D．Whether the British spend enough time in nature.
6．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．The two－hour standard applies to everyone.
B．The reason why nature is beneficial is clear.
C．Further study is needed to confirm White's result.
D．The findings of White's survey have been widely used.
7．What does the underlined word “threshold” in the last paragraph mean
A．Strict investigation. B．Following step.
C．Healthy lifestyle. D．Starting point.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Nature and Health
B．Two hour Staying in Nature
C．Tips to Improve Health
D．The Starting Point

[2022·贵州省适应性测试]Are you afraid of expressing ideas or making negative comments Do you always say yes to seek shelter or want approval from others __1__ You probably tend to satisfy other people's needs ahead of your own.

[2022·湖南高三联考]During his first year at Stanford, Trace Guzmán won a part in a short film—a comedy about college girls—directed by an upper class student engaged in the film and media studies program. At the end of a 12 hour day on the set of The Ice Queen Society, which was shot on campus, Guzmán realized that he could happily continue for hours on end.
“I remember thinking this was the best thing in the world，” he said. “Then I stopped and thought，‘oh, this is what it feels like to do something you love. ’ That was the moment I fell in love with acting.”
Guzmán pursued his newfound passion in the classroom through film studies courses, as well as classes on screenwriting and script (脚本) analysis. His favorite class was “Writing the Television Pilot”. To develop comedy writing skills outside the classroom, Guzmán joined the Robber Barons, and the students sketched a comedy group that performed in the Geology Corner Auditorium. As a junior, Guzmán spent the winter quarter studying in Madrid with fellow Stanford students through the Bing Overseas Studies Program.
Guzmán, who was planning to move to Los Angeles to make a career in acting, said he would miss the stimulating conversations and intellectual enthusiasm of Stanford. But he was ready for the next stage of his life and the opportunity to use his art for good.
“I'm a Stanford student and I might shoot too high sometimes，” he said. “Obviously, it's a cliché(陈词滥调) to say I want to make a change in the world. But that's beautiful thing—something a lot of Stanford students want to do. And I think that's awesome.”
1．What inspired Guzmán to study acting
A．His love of watching films.
B．His acting experience.
C．The film and media studies program.
D．Encouragement of college girls.
2．Why did Guzmán join the Robber Barons
A．To make a film.
B．To learn script analysis.
C．To work as a comedian.
D．To improve his writing skills.
3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Guzmán's plan.
B．Guzmán's effort.
C．Guzmán's hobbies.
D．Guzmán's achievement.
4．Which of the following best describes Guzmán
A．Reliable. B．Independent.
C．Ambitious. D．Mature.

[2022·南通高三调研]An afternoon nap (午睡) is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap—this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness—as in the Alzheimer's disease study—can be a marker of an underlying condition.
For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. “If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs—it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine. It needs sleep.” The feeling we should notice is “sleepiness” , he says. “It's not tiredness, which could be more psychological and linked to stress.”
So how do you nap well The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20 or 90 minute nap. “When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before.” Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.
Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep—“Some people are better at napping than others but，” says Stanley, “a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.”—you can set an alarm, allowing a 30 to 40 minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.
A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2 pm and 4 pm. “You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night time sleep，” Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.
5．What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people
A．Caffeine addiction.
B．Psychological stress.
C．Insufficient night sleep.
D．Potential physical illness.
6．What is the key to a good nap
A．Duration. B．Surroundings.
C．Health. D．Stages.
7．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to
A．A 30 to 40 minute period.
B．Between 2 pm and 4 pm.
C．Between 5 and 12 minutes.
D．A 20 to 90 minute period.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Why to phase a nap
B．When to take a good nap
C．What to learn from a nap
D．How to have a successful nap

[2022·昆明市“三诊一模”高考模拟]Sugar has been linked to serious diseases like heart disease, diabetes and even cancer, which is why it's vital to cut down on foods and drinks that are high in sugar.

While fruit juices can contain some important vitamins and minerals, they are typically full of sugar. Unfortunately, the fiber that fruit naturally contains and that helps the body keep blood sugar stable has also been removed. To keep blood sugar levels from rising sharply, choose to eat whole fruits whenever a juice desire comes along.
Sports drinks
Sports drinks might seem like the perfect choice for hydration while exercising, but they contain a high amount of added sugars as they were designed for athletes during fierce and long periods of activity. The only people who actually benefit from sports drinks are professional athletes or marathoners. Unless that's you, just stick to plain water.
Flavored coffees
Flavored coffees are delicious, but they contain hidden sugars as they often rely on artificial syrups (糖浆) for flavoring. A large flavored coffee at some coffee chains has up to 25 teaspoons of sugar. You can still enjoy your morning cup of coffee. Just stick to unflavored and unsweetened versions and avoid creamers high in sugar.
Iced teas
Iced teas can be extremely refreshing on a hot day, but they're typically over sweetened with sugar or syrups. Some brands of iced teas actually contain a surprising 33 grams of sugar in a 355 milliliter serving. So, look for iced teas without any added sugar or make your own at home so you can save money and control what goes into it.
1．How do fruit juices benefit people
A．They provide necessary minerals. B．They refuel people during sports.
C．They energize people in the morning. D．They refresh people on hot days.
2．What are common people advised to have while exercising
A．Fruit juices. B．Flavored coffees.
C．Natural water. D．Iced teas.
3．What's the purpose of the text
A．To introduce four nutritious drinks. B．To discuss the advantages of drinks.
C．To share ways to make drinks at home. D．To warn readers against high sugar drinks.

[2022·南京市高三第三次模拟考试]With the world's attention on vaccines (疫苗), now it feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contributor to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated (接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu's willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place.
Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus (脓) from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people's wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection.
Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors' professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Some people also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature.
Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter.
Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice. About 80 years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox.
4．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The origin of smallpox inoculation.
B．Montagu's first access to inoculation.
C．The benefits from smallpox inoculation.
D．Turkish women's invention of inoculation.
5．Montagu found it difficult to try inoculation in England because ________．
A．it was against human nature B．it might harm doctors' interests
C．it was beyond doctors' abilities D．it might shake some people's belief
6．What led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation
A．The increased severity of smallpox infections.
B．A physician's discovery of smallpox vaccines.
C．The result of Montagu's daughter's inoculation.
D．Montagu's focus on its rewards rather than its risks.
7．What might be the best title of the text
A．An unsung hero B．No limit to creation
C．Development of vaccines D．A historic medical innovation
C
Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people's place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art.
To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don't merely tell us that spring is “nice”， they zero__in__on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn's hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds...
Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they've been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realize that it wasn't so much that the food was “delicious”， but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn't just “nice”； they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to ask us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them.
We don't have to be great artists to send effective thank you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.
8．What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A．We seldom express gratitude by writing.
B．We usually find messages of thanks touching.
C．We should take a course in message writing.
D．We may draw inspiration for thank yous from arts.
9．What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Leave out.　 B．Clear up.　 C．Focus on.　 D．Hold back.
10．How is Paragraph 3 developed
A．By classification. B．By example. C．By definition. D．By process.
11．Which would the author recommend to express gratitude
A．I am blessed to have such a wonderful week.
B．Your caring and warm smile lights up my day.
C．Thank you so much for your great present.
D This is the most delicious dinner I've ever had.

[2022·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]“Spicy tomatoes could soon be on the menu thanks to the rise of gene editing (基因编辑) technology，” researchers say.
It is not the first time that experts have claimed the techniques could help develop fruit with unusual features: scientists have already been looking at changing the color of kiwi fruit and bettering the taste of strawberries.
But researchers in Brazil and Ireland say such methods could also offer practical advantages, with hot tomatoes offering a new way of harvesting the pungent (辣的) chemicals found in peppers known as capsaicinoids (辣椒素), which make food taste “hot”．
“Capsaicinoids are very valuable compounds (化合物): they are used in the weapons industry, they are also used for painkillers, and there are some researches showing that they promote weight loss，” said Agustin Zs g n from the Federal University of Vicosa in Brazil, a co author of a new article arguing for the benefits of engineering hot tomatoes.
Writing in the journal Trends in Plant Science, the researchers say peppers are difficult crops to grow and low productive. Worse still, it is tricky to keep the pungency of the fruits stable. By contrast, tomato production is high and the plant is well studied. “You could produce the capsaicinoids in a more cost effective manner，” said Zs g n.
Tomatoes and peppers developed from a common ancestor, but separated about 19 million years ago. “All these genes to produce capsaicinoids exist in the tomatoes. They are just not active，” said Zs g n. “Using gene editing technology, it is bound to switch these genes back in tomatoes, adding a kick to the fruit，”he said.
12．Why are the tomatoes made hot by the researchers
A．To test the gene editing technology.
B．To enrich the variety of the tomatoes.
C．To make the tomatoes more delicious.
D．To explore ways to harvest capsaicinoids.
13．In which of the following situations can capsaicinoids be used according to the text
A．Feeling weightless. B．Lacking sleep. C．Having a headache. D．Losing appetite.
14．What is Zs g n's attitude to the gene editing technology
A．Unacceptable. B．Uncertain. C．Tolerant. D．Confident.
15．What's the text mainly about
A．An introduction to gene editing plants.
B．Creating hot tomatoes by gene editing.
C．Problems with capsaicinoid production.
D．The procedure of producing capsaicinoids.

[2022·成都市诊断]A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $35 has been identified as a rare 15th century Chinese antique.
The blue and white bowl was made by China's royal court during the Ming dynasty. It is now expected to sell for up to $500，000, according to Sotheby's auction (拍卖) house in New York, where the auction will take place next month.
The purchase was made last year near New Haven, Connecticut. “I was just hanging around there aimlessly. But when I saw this bowl, I didn't even bargain over the $35 asking price，” the owner said. Shortly after the purchase, he sent photos of the bowl to auction specialists, who identified it as an item of historical significance.
Upon closer inspection, the artifact was found to have originated from the period of the Yongle Emperor, who ruled from 1402 to 1424—a period noted for its distinctive porcelain (瓷器) techniques. It's now valued between $300，000 and $500，000, with the top estimate nearly 14，300 times the amount it was purchased for.
“I was deeply attracted by the techniques. You can see why this bowl is so highly valued from the very smooth porcelain body, silky glaze (釉料) and special blue colouring, which were never reproduced in later dynasties，” McAteer, an auction specialist, said.
“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques and elevated the importance of porcelain from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art. This small bowl has both practical and artistic value，” McAteer said.
1．What can we infer about the bowl's owner
A．He found the bowl by accident.
B．He hesitated during the purchase.
C．He doubted whether the bowl was real.
D．He bought the bowl because it was cheap.
2．What makes the bowl so precious
A．The blue colour on it.
B．The long history it has.
C．The people who made it.
D．The unique techniques used.
3．What does the underlined word “elevated” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Foresaw. B．Promoted.
C．Assessed. D．Acknowledged.
4．What's the best title of the text
A．An Amazing Bowl
B．A Special Yard Sale
C．The Return of Porcelains
D．A Man Making Fortune

[2022·太原市三模]We often hear friends ask why they should read fiction. There is so much to learn from history, from what is going on at the frontiers of science, and from contemporary studies of human behaviors. Why should they spend their scarce “free time” reading fiction, and the purpose of which, at best, is only entertainment
We are disappointed about such comments. Yes, we do find pleasure in reading fiction. But we also learn much about how to best live our lives in ways that can only be captured by fiction. We recognize that some novels are entertaining, but leave no lasting impression. What makes a novel more than entertainment
Our answer is that we don't just read great books—they read us as well. The human condition is complex and contradictory, layered like an ice cream dessert, with flavors mixed among the layers. A great novel reflects that complexity. We may read it several times, as we do with our favorites, and each time it is like finding an old friend and gaining new insights from that friend. We put it down with new understandings of the world around us and, most importantly, of ourselves.
Let's look at the novel Frankenstein, written in 1818 by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is not a monster, but a young man seeking out the secrets of the universe. He collects body parts and charges them with life. When the dull yellow eyes open, however, Frankenstein, shocked by what he has done, abandons the creature, which ultimately kills Frankenstein's brother, his bride, and his best friend.
On one level, Frankenstein is entertaining—a good horror story, though a little dated. But Shelley writes more than just that. On a deeper level, her book forces us to ask whether humans reach too far to gain knowledge that is as forbidden as the fruit of the Garden of Eden. This theme, as old as the legend of Prometheus (普罗米修斯), dominates Frankenstein. Shelley, of course, knew nothing of genetic (遗传的) engineering that happens today. She was deeply troubled by what human beings might discover about themselves, and the effects of those discoveries on society. Our reading of great literature can also be enriched by understanding the author's personal interests and anxieties.
5．How does the author feel about fiction reading
A．It is a window to a whole new world.
B．It helps us discover the frontiers of science.
C．It offers insight into how to live best lives.
D．It holds some clues to understanding our memory.
6．Why does the author say great books read us as well
A．Because they deserve reading several times.
B．Because they lead us to a rich life.
C．Because they explore humans' complex reality.
D．Because they improve the writer reader relationship.
7．What do we know about the novel Frankenstein
A．It is based on a grand theme.
B．It is a record of a historic event.
C．It is merely a great horror story.
D．It is about the legend of Prometheus.
8．What is the best title of the text
A．Why should we read fiction
B．Can novel reading last long
C．Read for fun or read for none
D．Is Frankenstein really entertaining

[2022·青岛市高中质检]Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It gives a voice to emerging public consciousness about the state of our planet. The founder is Gaylord Nelson.
What moved Gaylord Nelson to action was the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill (溢出) in Southern California, the largest oil spill in the United States at that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a strong impact on marine life, killing an estimated 3，500 seabirds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it was a right time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus, Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental consciousness took centre stage.
On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment and thousands of students marched in protest at the terrible situation of the environment. Businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations. The year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more countries around the world. It helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations, for a joint effort towards protecting the environment. In 2009, the United Nations decided to officially set April 22 as Earth Day. For his role as the founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour given to civilians in the United States. We honour the man, as the fight for a cleaner environment continues.
4．What can we learn about Earth Day
A．It was founded at the end of 1970s.
B．It was first celebrated in Rio de Janeiro.
C．People will march on the streets on this day.
D．It arouses public environmental awareness.
5．What did Gaylord Nelson do to make Earth Day possible
A．He reduced the loss of the oil spill.
B．He participated in an antiwar movement.
C．He set environmental standards for businesses.
D．He involved more people in environmental issues.
6．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The focus of Earth Day.
B．The development of Earth Day.
C．The world's concern for the environment.

[2022·湖北省部分重点中学高三期末]Going to bed in one major city and waking up in another; toasting the landscape as a new country slips past; being rocked to sleep as you travel across a continent. It's no wonder that the night trains of Europe have been a byword (代名词) for romance.
In fact, over the past decade, much of Europe's night train network has been cut. For many, it seemed the end of the line was near. But recently there has been a recovery of night trains across Europe. On December 8th, 2020, four national rail providers teamed up to announce new routes between 13 European cities.
“You leave work at a usual time, have dinner, make your way to the station, get on the train, and wake up in the place you want to be. There's no turning up at the airport at a very strange hour, as you do for a budget flight，” says Monisha Rajesh, author of “Around the World in 80 Trains”．
In fact, “flight shaming” has been sweeping across Europe in the past few years. In 2018, domestic flights were 9% down in Sweden.
The COVID 19 pandemic has helped, too. Trains are easier to keep social distance on, says Rajesh. And night trains—where you can book an entire compartment (隔间) to yourself—are even better.
Europe's geography also helps the argument for night trains, says Nicolas Forien, a member of Back on Track, who points out that half the flights leaving France are either internal, or going to a neighboring country. “The distance between European capitals is mostly ideal for night trains. The continent could be a night train paradise.”
8．What does the author say about the night trains of Europe
A．They run at high speed.
B．They were popular among Europeans.
C．They experienced a decline in number a century ago.
D．They bring passengers a sense of romance.
9．What does the underlined word “budget” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Long. B．Cheap.
C．Short. D．Expensive.
10．As for the writer, which of the following has contributed to the recovery of Europe's night trains
①Flight shaming　
②The COVID 19 pandemic
③The internal budget flight　
④Europe's geography
⑤The tourism boom
A．①②⑤ B．②③④
C．①②④ D．②④⑤
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why Europeans choose to travel by night trains
B．How Europe's night trains come back from the dead
C．When Europeans start taking an interest in night trains
D．Whether the network of Europe's night train has been cut

Fearless (Taylor's Version), released on April 9th, is a remake of her 2008 country album Fearless, which follows in the wake of the singer's contract battle with her former label Big Machine back in 2019. Upon its release, the album sold 205，000 digital copies in China in less than five minutes and instantly topped the charts on Chinese song streaming platforms, including QQ Music and NetEase Could Music.

Taylor Swift has now taken the crown as the best selling artist of all time on major Chinese music streaming platforms, with her studio recordings earning more than combined 159 million RMB as of April 14, outselling many famous Chinese singers.
The American singer's huge success in China is derived from her never go out of style artistry and inexhaustible creativity, while also being a product of her enormous fan base, which has succeeded with China's booming music industry. Taylor boasts about 10 million followers on China's Weibo, a microblogging platform, and has more than 9.3 million and 4.9 million followers on QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music, respectively. Apart from their frequent trending on social media platforms, her songs have also repeatedly appeared in music competition shows and in the promos (广告短片) for popular films, such as Detective Chinatown, a Chinese comedy mystery series.

[2022·厦门市质量检测]If you're an un decider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse race. __1__. Here are some strategies for spending less time worrying about decisions.
Go for being good enough
Since perfectionism and indecision often go hand in hand, you should be moving from a mindset that “only the best will do” to “being good enough is good enough”. It helps to reflect on your original goal. Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast carrots and also charge your cellphone Or were you just looking for something that would brown your bread __2__.
Outsource (交外办理) decisions
Research has shown that choices weaken the willpower and lead to decision fatigue (疲劳). That's why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”. __3__. When it comes to wine, for example, all I want is a good glass with dinner. So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to my local wine store, asking it to send me a case of surprises once in a while.
The 90 percent rule
When a yes or no decision has many pros and cons, try the “90 percent rule”. This involves evaluating an opportunity on a scale from 0 to 100. If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent, reduce its score to zero and reject it. __4__. Why would you deliberately choose to feel that way about an important choice in your life
__5__
If you're deciding whether to move across the country, imagine you've asked your best friend to choose for you. On the big day, she hands you an envelope; inside, it announces you're leaving next month. Do you feel excited Or disappointed Using thought experiments to separate important variables can help you cut through the fog to see clarity.
A．Cut through the fog
B．Turn to friends for help
C．You could rely on habits and routines
D．In other words, be choosy about choosing
E．Remembering your purpose can simplify the process
F．Think about how you'd feel if you scored 65 points on some test
G．And big, life changing choices can cause a state of breaking down阶段检测卷(三)

[2022·南京市高三第三次模拟考试]
　　In Africa, the honeyguide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction, or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food.
　　Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages.
　　Having a snake wrapped around your neck isn't necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13 year old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages (按摩). It's unlikely that he was trained to do the job and he is just dancing like any other snake would when around a person's neck. Regardless, this special snake needs to be booked a few weeks in advance.
　　The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses (horse standing 34 inches or less)as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999. Miniature horses are ideal service animals for people who feel uncomfortable with dogs or who want a guide animal with a longer life span. The horses typically live from 30 to 40 years.

[2022·潍坊市高考模拟考试]Of the estimated 2，224 passengers and crew aboard the Titanic when it struck an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912, a mere 700 people lived on. Here is a story of the Titanic survivors whose stories are still haunting more than a century after the ship's sinking, revealing the true facts of the disaster.
A junior wireless officer aboard the Titanic, Harold Bride was one of the two people responsible for sending SOS messages to nearby ships, thus allowing the Carpathia to rescue the Titanic survivors.
He and another man on duty, Jack Phillips, raced to send SOS signals to nearby ships—but as the communications specialists, they knew that the closest, the Carpathia, would likely not arrive until the Titanic sank. They worked wildly until Captain Edward Smith came and told them they were relieved of duty; the ship had nearly lost power, and only two lifeboats remained.
They made a run for Collapsible B and were just getting it into the water when a wave swept across the deck (甲板), throwing both Harold Bride and the upturned boat into the ocean.
Bride and 15 others struggled into the waterlogged, sinking Collapsible B and survived until other lifeboats collected them and conveyed them to the Carpathia.
Once aboard the Carpathia, Bride got back to work and began helping the ship's wireless officer send messages from the other Titanic survivors.
When the Carpathia made it to land, Bride had to be carried ashore: he had injured one foot in the plunge into the ocean, and the other was frostbitten after a night in the Atlantic's icy waters.
4．Which can replace the underlined word “haunting” in Paragraph 1
A．confusing B．unforgettable C．romantic D．contradictory
5．What was Bride's job on the Titanic during the accident
A．Rescuing the Titanic survivors.
B．Investigating the problems of the Titanic.
C．Sending signals to ships around for help.
D．Receiving SOS signals from nearby ships.
6．What happened to Bride after he was dismissed from his duty
A．He stayed there to continue his work. B．He escaped in a lifeboat immediately.
C．He turned off the power of the Titanic. D．He was washed into the sea by a wave.
7．Which of the following best describes Bride
A．Responsible and helpful. B．Intelligent and brave.
C．Tough and ambitious. D．Considerate and humble.

[2022·昆明市高三“三诊一模”]“Time flies. Youth fades. Treasure each moment of your life，” accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics (歌词) soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7，2020.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen. And he is the reason why they were all there. Hancock was a 27 year old Australian who taught English in Chongqing. When he died in 2018 due to a disease, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs.
The five people introduced themselves onstage. They are the ones who received Philip's organs. “Last November, the Red Cross officials told me Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day，” said Chen Xianjun, a recipient (接受者). Chen was instantly on board to form a band in memory of Philip, and so were the other four recipients.
Since they had no music experience, they had to start__from__scratch. From learning the guitar, to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year. Peter Hancock, Philip's father, said after watching the band's performance, his biggest wish is for the five to enjoy their lives more.
Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others. China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300，000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year. But the good news is, more and more people have been signing up to be organ donors, showing the spirit of selflessness that Philip and so many others have shown.
8．Why did the five people form the band
A．To compete in a singing performance. B．To show their respect for Peter Hancock.
C．To raise money for the local Red Cross. D．To express their appreciation to Philip.
9．How long did it take the recipients to prepare for the performance
A．One year. B．Two years. C．Three years. D．Five years.
10．What do the underlined words “start from scratch” in paragraph 4 mean
A．lose interest in music B．practice from the very beginning
C．take part in training courses D．turn to some musicians for help
11．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Citizens are encouraged to donate organs. B．Organ donation is the best way to save lives.
C．The author thinks highly of organ donation. D．Few people are willing to donate their organs.

[2022·济南市高考针对性训练]School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington, D．C., students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend's farmers market.
Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a．m. until 2 p．m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit organization that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she's taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.
City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed, or to learn the science of how plants grow.
For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.
12．What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity
A．It is a good way to earn pocket money. B．It has improved her family relationship.
C．It contributes to her healthy eating habit. D．It is helpful to her academic performance.
13．What is the purpose of the school gardens
A．To provide a creative way of learning. B．To promote teachers' teaching skills.
C．To get students interested in science. D．To invite students to care for plants.
14．What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms
A．Its strategies. B．Its outcomes. C．Its operations. D．Its participants.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．City Blossoms: Team up with Local Community Teachers

[2022·海口市高考调研考试] I was 16 years old and on a fortnight long trip to visit a college in Iowa. On the way our group stopped in Chicago for a day. We were staying in a building on the south side of the city and were warned not to go out alone.
It wasn't long, though, before I felt bored and I decided to go for a short walk. I was going down a street when I saw some people making a wide circle around a man sitting on the sidewalk. His clothes were worn out and I could smell him from several feet away. I stopped in my tracks. My mind flashed back and I realized I had seen a homeless person once before: Me.
It was a summer night in my 11th year when the house I grew up in caught fire in the middle of the night. I can still remember the fire destroyed everything we owned. Thankfully, our small town community showered us with love and care. They fed us, brought us clothes, and within a few days helped us to rent a temporary house. A few months later they helped us to finance a new home. I could remember the feeling of being loved even after losing so much.
The homeless man sitting in front of me, however, had no one to help him. I could see the sadness and desperation in his eyes. I only had a few dollars left in my wallet, but I went to him directly, bent down and handed them to him, talking with him, touching his hands and wishing him well before I left.
He isn't the first one to get my help these years. Seeing the joy on their faces, I feel more than happy. I won't stop and say no to those who are in need. Even though what I can do is really limited, I believe that the world will change if each of us gives a little.

[2022·济南市高三学情诊断考试]We already know that eating too much salt can lead to heart disease. But could it also affect our mind Scientists found that a high salt diet could cause cognitive impairments (认知损伤) in mice, and it could produce the same effect on humans.
Dr Costantino Iadecola, director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute, said they fed the mice eight to sixteen times their normal salt intake and then tested the mice. After about three months, the mice had a big change in their behaviour. Mice are very curious, and they like to look for new things. However, the tested mice lost the ability to identify a normal object. When the mice were put in their cage and asked to find a quiet spot, they did not remember where the quiet spot was. Then when the mice were building a nest, which is something the mice do daily, they were unable to do so. The research suggested humans would experience a similar response.
Studies have shown Australians eat around double the recommended amount of salt each day, most of it coming from processed food. Dr Iadecola said the estimated two teaspoons of salt the average Australian eats each day could affect the brain function in the long term. However, the decline might not be as obvious as in the mice, who were given extremely high levels of salt. “But probably over years and perhaps decades—as opposed to a few months for the mice—even lower levels of salt may have a terrible effect，” Dr Iadecola said.
“High levels of salt cause serious immune (免疫的) changes in the organs in and around the stomach, resulting in an almost autoimmune effect on the brain. It is part of a growing body of evidence that we really are what we eat，” Bryce Vissel, director of the Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Technology Sydney, said. “Those changes in turn cause all sorts of responses in the body, which over time certainly contribute to cognitive impairments.”
8．Which can describe the tested mice
A．They remained quiet all day.
B．They became smarter than ever.
C．They forgot some routine things.
D．They were quick at finding objects.
9．What do we know about Australians
A．They ignore health advice.
B．They have a higher salt diet.
C．They dislike processed food.
D．They value their brain health.
10．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A．Studies carried out by Bryce Vissel.
B．Immune changes brought about by salt.
C．Effects of daily diets on human behaviour.
D．Links between salt intake and brain damage.
11．What does the text suggest
A．Brain health counts much.

C．A low salt diet is to be advocated.

[2022·贵阳市高三适应性考试一]On January 22nd, 2021, China said it has established a new monitoring and research center for greenhouse gases and carbon neutrality (碳中和) in order to contribute more to fighting climate change. The official announcement of the Monitoring and Assessment Center for GHGs and Carbon Neutrality (温室气体及碳中和监测评估中心), located in Beijing, was made by the China Meteorological Administration. It is expected to play a vital role in providing both technical and scientific support for researchers. The center will gather top scientists in the field both at home and abroad. Apart from providing ways to achieve carbon neutrality, it will also be helpful to make technological breakthroughs in the next three to five years.
The center is tasked with creating a system to evaluate the effectiveness of the country's efforts to fight climate change. The recruitment (招募) of staff members is expected to be finished in the next two months. A scientific steering committee will also be started in April to guide the center's operation.
China is determined to make its carbon dioxide emissions (排放) peak (达到峰值) before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. One of the lessons from the COVID 19 pandemic is that humankind must pursue a green development path and green lifestyle. China will lower its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by more than 65 percent from the 2005 level and increase its share of non fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 25 percent. By 2030, China will also increase its forest stock by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level, and bring its total installed capacity (装机容量) of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kilowatts.
The establishment of the center proves China's determination to pursue a green development road. It's a concrete action that China has taken to fight the climate challenge. Carbon neutrality, or a net zero carbon footprint, means reaching a balance between carbon emissions and removing pollutants through carbon sinks and other offsets (补偿).
China has sped up research and development of equipment to monitor greenhouse gases and carbon neutrality and achieved encouraging results. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the top world standard.
12．Why did China start the Center
A．To produce more greenhouse gases.
B．To gather more scientists worldwide.
C．To contribute more to fighting climate change.
D．To introduce top scientists in carbon neutrality.
13．When will the recruitment of the staff probably finish
A．In January. B．In March.
C．In April. D．In May.
14．How soon will China achieve carbon neutrality according to the passage
A．In about 9 years.
B．In about 16 years.
C．In about 38 years.
D．In about 65 years.
15．What does this passage mainly talk about
A．China's new contribution to climate battle.
B．China's carbon dioxide emissions peaking.
C．The Center's recruiting new members.
D．Installed capacity of wind and solar power.

[2022·广西名校联考]Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his Austin school weren't getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been gardening with his mother, and they often distributed their extra vegetables to the neighbors. “Why not give the produce to a soup kitchen Then I thought, I'm good at gardening，” says McKenna, now 16. “Why not plant a garden at school, so that kids in need could take food home？”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden, then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna's garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash for students and their families. Now, seven years later, McKenna's Giving Garden Project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden, and he has provided organic produce, enough for 25，000 meals, to Austin families.
For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BE A GOOD HUMAN. To him，that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age. “Even a smile might change someone's life，” he says. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”
When COVID 19 hit the U．S., McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute to the hungry on the weekends. When social distance meant that volunteers couldn't work on community garden plots, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
4．What caused Ian's decision to help the kids in his own way
A．Being rejected by volunteer groups. B．Being good at gardening.
C．A soup kitchen's support. D．His mother's suggestions.
5．Which of the following can best explain Ian's personal motto
A．Where there's a will there's a way. B．A small gesture makes a difference.
C．One good turn deserves another. D．Love can break all the barriers.
6．What does the underlined word “redoubled” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Changed. B．Increased. C．Gathered. D．Gained.
7．What is the best title of the passage

[2022·长春市高三质量监测(一)]Recently, scientific research suggests that mental health disorders affect up to 35 percent of top athletes at some stage of their careers. This can range from tiredness and eating disorders to depression and anxiety. The causes can be highly varied, with studies pointing to a range of contributing factors from poor sleep to selection pressures and early retirement due to injury.
American Simone Biles is widely considered to be the greatest gymnast (体操运动员) in the United States. When the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games began, she was expected to win five gold medals. But on July 27th, she pulled out of the team final. She made the choice after having trouble landing after her vault (跳跃) in the competition's first round. Later she said her mind was not in the right place to let her safely perform the difficult moves she is known for. In other words, her mind was not letting her body do what it needed to do. Cameras caught her telling her trainers during the team final, “I just don't trust myself.”
Biles is not the only Olympian in recent months to talk about the pressure and mental effects of competing at the highest level. Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka lost in the second round of Olympic competition. She said she felt extreme pressure to win for Japan, where the Olympics were taking place.
Few coaches and officials in sports have an expert on understanding of mental health and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) also recognizes that there is a great need for practical assessment tools that can be used by medical professionals and anyone looking after athletes to protect athletes' mental health.
“Mental health issues should be discussed more openly in sport, because athletes are always concerned about selection, and they want to appear as strong as possible，” Scientific Director Dr. Richard Budgett says. “But in the end this may have negative effects, so we need to recognize the symptoms so that athletes can get proper management and help when they need them.”
8．What is the scientific research about
A．Athletes' living habits. B．Athletes' mental health.
C．Causes of athletes' injuries. D．Ways to reduce athletes' pressure.
9．Why did Simone Biles quit the team final
A．She was in a bad state of mind. B．She was badly hurt in the first round.
C．She was not good at the difficult moves. D．She did not live up to her trainers' requirements.
10．What can be a solution to athletes' mental health issues according to the IOC
A．Recognizing the symptoms. B．Discussing the issues privately.
C．Adopting suitable evaluation tools. D．Offering professional training to coaches.
11．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce two outstanding athletes.
B．To warn athletes about the danger of anxiety.
C．To draw people's attention to athletes' mental health.
D．To explain the importance of hard training to success.

[2022·贵阳市高三摸底]The efforts of authorities in Yunnan to safely guide the elephants back home began to show signs of success in early June. After arriving in the area near Kunming in early June, the elephants finally turned around and began to move southward. “Asian elephants need to live in warm areas and the further north they travel, the less friendly the climate will be for them，” said Chen Mingyong, a professor of ecology and the environment at Yunnan University. “We need to guide them toward their proper habitat before the temperature begins to go down.”
The elephants' return journey has not been much different to their journey north, adding more details to the elephant family's drama. On June 6th, a bull elephant under 10 years old suddenly broke away from the herd (兽群) and made off on its own. Shen Qingzhong, head of an institute, guessed the act may have occurred because the young elephant is in the rebellious (叛逆的) puberty time.
Right now, the 14 remaining elephants are lingering in the mountainous area surrounding Shijie Township in the city of Yuxi. They have been there for over eight days, with the young elephant remaining around 20 km away with no sign of returning soon.
“Maybe the 14 elephants are waiting for the single elephant to rejoin，” Shen said. “Or maybe there are more diverse foods in the farmland in this area and they want to enjoy them longer.”
Professor Chen explained that the command center's intention is to guide the elephants back to Pu'er or Xishuangbanna. “For that to happen, they must pass through the Yuanjiang River，” Chen said. “The water level in the river is currently higher due to the rains and the elephants might have to wait in Yuxi for a long time. If that is the case, it might be winter before the elephants finally return to their original habitat.”
12．Why were the elephants guided to move south
A．Because of the food. B．Because of the climate.
C．Because of the scientists. D．Because of the safety.
13．What happened on June 6th
A．The young elephant separated itself from the family.
B．The elephants' return journey was so different.
C．The institute added more dramas to the journey.
D．The National Nature Reserve drove the elephant away.
14．What does the underlined part “lingering” refer to
A．Lining. B．Moving off.
C．Wandering. D．Sleeping over.
15．What would be the best title for this passage
A．The Journey to North B．Ecology or Environment
C．The Long Way Home D．Kunming, Yuxi or Pu'er

[2022·重庆市质量调研]Since it was completed in 1869, the Suez Canal has been one of the world's most important bodies of water and bases of the global economy. But the giant container ship that has been stuck in the waterway sparks a very modern problem: About a tenth of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, and it could be facing a week long blockage.
The blockage originates from its vital location in geography—the importance of the canal stems first and foremost from its location; it is the only place that directly connects the waters of Europe with the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the countries of the Asia Pacific. Without the Suez Canal, shipments traveling between those parts of the world would have to travel through the entire continent of Africa, adding large amounts of costs and extending their journey time a lot.
Dating back to history, caused by French interests and exploration, the Suez Canal was built over the course of 10 years by local peasants forced into labor. Financial troubles forced the Ottoman governor of Egypt to sell a controlling stake (股份) in the waterway to Britain in 1875; 13 years later, a multinational summit resulted in an agreement that the canal would be free for all countries to use, both in peace and war.
Nowadays, more than 80% of global trade by volume is moved by sea, and disruptions are adding billions of dollars to supply chain merzbank analysts said on Friday that the episode could cause oil to become more expensive for consumers because of higher tanker rates as a result of the incident.
4．What effect did the blockage have on shipments traveling according to Paragraph 2
A．Decreasing the cost. B．Consuming less amounts of time.
C．Cutting off the connection. D．Extending the traveling route.
5．What does the author tell us about the Suez Canal in history
A．French peasants were forced to build the canal.
B．British colonists played a leading part in building the canal.
C．The Ottoman governor contributed to the construction of the canal.
D．The canal was freely available to all countries after 1888.
6．What message did Commerzbank analysts convey
A．Oil prices would be rising.
B．The incident caused the rise of the supply chain costs.
C．More than half of the global trade relied on sea transportation.
D．Consumers would have to pay more to travel across Europe.
7．Which of the following is the text probably taken from
A．A research paper. B．A guidebook.
C．A news report. D．A biography.

[2022·长春市高三质量监测(一)]There are people for whom the motivation lies in their family or companions' duties. For some people, the purpose lies in a soul's spiritual awakening. Brent Clayton, a firefighter by profession, is such an individual who found his purpose early in life and kept working to fulfill it.
Born on March 3，1984, Clayton hugely felt the need to serve others. He followed his mission in life and acquired his diploma in public safety. He gradually realized the importance of securing people's lives, which strengthened his faith in his mission. Clayton further pursued his bachelor's degree at the University of Melbourne and master's degree at Federation University Australia. Then, Clayton worked in the military for a period before moving into a role with the prison service as a prison guard, the youngest person to ever be employed by the service at the time.
After spending a decade in the fire service including training and recruitment (招募), he gained enough experience to become Australia's most prominent fire service recruitment expert. Clayton devoted many years of his life to the firefighter recruitment process and the fire service industry. He wanted people to realize the true value of this profession by establishing its significance. To communicate his perspective, Clayton established Fire Recruitment Australia in 2009. He aimed to train the next generation and prepare them for the future. Clayton used his experience and years long training to prepare candidates who were as enthusiastic about the well being of the world as him.
Keeping the point in mind, Clayton wrote the book Fire Services Recruitment: The Process to Success. His idea was to join his learning into an accessible medium so others didn't have to waste years wondering what to do when applying to become a firefighter. After the success of the book, Clayton introduced candidates to a comprehensive test preparation and a learning suite to facilitate success throughout each stage of the selection process. This platform helped him as well as his candidates to work together for the betterment of themselves and ultimately society at large.
8．What made Clayton's belief stronger

[2022·武汉市高三供题]New fences, fresh floor coverings and plenty of paint ; home improvement has become the national amusement to kill time during the pandemic (流行病) as the nation has spent more time at home and rediscovered a passion for DIY after a decade of decline. The closing of pubs, restaurants and sporting fields, financial pressure and the need to adapt houses and flats to deal with changed circumstances, started a trend in DIY this year, particularly among 18 34 year olds.
After years of falling sales, stores' closing and cost cutting, B&Q—the DIY chain is hoping the tide may finally have changed its tough situation. Kingfisher, the parent company of B&Q, is investing in digital marketing, home delivery and new products to attract the imagination of the young generation.
Thierry Garnier, chief executive (总裁) of Kingfisher, has plenty of data to prove how consumers warmed to DIY again in 2020. It began in the spring with painting fences and decorating walls or cars. Sales of pressure washers increased by 80% at B&Q. People then moved on to gardening, setting up home offices and entertaining outdoors.
It has been the same story in some other countries. Demand for fencing, decorating wooden cabins in Continental Europe and the US has put such a stress on wood supply chains that sawmill (锯木厂) and producers are working hard to tackle the problem. Paint suppliers to B&Q are concentrating on the most popular shades, reducing the product range so they can keep up with the demand for high volumes.
But the big focus is on digital. As demand for home shopping rocketed during the pandemic, B&Q began using its stores to help pick and pack home deliveries. The group now handles 1.5 million orders a week. Online now accounts for 17% of sales—up from 8% before the pandemic and Garnier hopes to expand further.
12．Why did DIY regain popularity in 2020
A．The pandemic made it a national pastime.
B．The DIY chain tried to please the public.
C．Stores offered a discount on DIY materials.
D．Public facilities failed to meet people's needs.
13．What can we infer about the comeback of DIY
A．It will soon go quiet again. B．It's welcomed only by the youth.
C．It has taken the world by storm. D．It offers companies chances to recover.
14．What is B&Q's solution to the pressure from the sales boom
A．Narrowing the product range. B．Specializing in new products.
C．Focusing on digital products only. D．Using stores to handle home deliveries.
15．What's Garnier's opinion about the prospect of online sales
A．Uncertain. B．Confident. C．Pessimistic. D．Cautious.

Read, watch, and listen. Reading English language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. __19__

Lifesaving heart operation
When Tal Golesworthy was told he needed a lifesaving heart operation in 1993, he said no. Golesworthy has Marfan syndrome (马凡氏综合征).
Back in 1993, when he was living in the west of England, his doctor told him that the aorta(主动脉) in his heart was so enlarged that it would unavoidably burst unless he underwent a major operation.
“They talked through the options，” says Golesworthy, “but I was not interested. The operation really didn't look attractive.” What he particularly didn't like was having to be on blood thinners after the operation, something that would prevent blood clots (血栓) but presented its own risks: “I was riding motorbikes then, and skiing, so my whole lifestyle would have been affected.” By 2000, however, his condition had worsened. Realizing something had to be done, Golesworthy put his years of experience as a research and development engineer to good use. He decided he would fix himself. “Learning new stuff and developing new ideas, that was my job，” Golesworthy says.
The aorta, he thought, needed support on the outside. And wrapping something around the outside of the aorta would require a special operation. So Golesworthy subjected himself to 30 hours in an MRI scanner and used 3D printing to create a physical exact copy of the part of his heart. “Luckily, I'd done a lot of work with technical materials，” he says.
Strong determination coupled with an original yet practical solution won him the support of two leading surgeons and helped him raise the money to develop his idea. In May 2004, at the age of 47, he became the__guinea__pig for his own invention. The operation was a success.
4．Why did Tal Golesworthy refuse the operation at first
A.A better solution was on the way.
B.He was afraid of life being affected.
C.The risk of the operation tended to cause death.
D.He would like to be operated on in his own way.
5．What helped Golesworthy to fix himself
A.His creative spirit.
B.Regular exercise.
C.Doctors' suggestions.
D.His similar experience.
6．What do the underlined words in the last paragraph “the guinea pig” refer to
A．The lovely pet.
B.The important assistant.
C．The experimental subject.
D.The person to raise money.
7．Which words can best describe Tal Golesworthy

Cosplayers can invest considerable time, money and effort into making the best head to toe presentations that are one of a kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research.
When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside the specific character—or combination of characters—because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma (精神创伤). The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child—witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents—which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences，” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.”
Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many women's feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. “For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power，” Rosenberg said.
Cosplay is a type of performance, which frequently moves strangers to approach the character through conversation and photos. So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing，” Rosenberg said. She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didn't know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life.
“When you do any kind of costuming—especially cosplay—on the one hand, it gives you permission to step outside yourself，”Rosenberg said.“On the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesn't usually come out.”
8．What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2
A.Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes.
B.Cosplayers play different roles within one day.
C.Cosplayers have nothing to do but talk to themselves.
D.Cosplayers express themselves through costumes.
9．Batman and Wonder Woman are cited to reveal cosplayers' ________．
A.childhood abuse
B.need to repair personal difficulties
C.gender inequality
D.eagerness to defeat other people
10．Why did Rosenberg feel surprised
A.Cosplayers changed their personalities once in costumes.
B.Cosplayers couldn't wait to socialize when in costumes.
C.Many cosplayers attracted strangers to talk with them.
D.So many cosplayers were considered as pessimistic people.
11．What may serve as the most suitable title of the text
A.Devotion to cosplay
B.People in costumes
C.Batman or Wonder Woman
D.Psychology behind cosplay

[2022·烟台市高考诊断性测试]One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight. By the time they leave school, that figure will rise to one in three. The chance of them being overweight in adulthood, which brings a range of associated health risks, is high, at 50～75%.
The root cause of diet related fatness is no secret: an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted. Addressing this imbalance needs to be, in part, a review of our diet. More fresh ingredients (原料) especially fruit and vegetables, less processed foods and fewer additives (添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognized that a collective approach, rather than just individual behavior change, is a successful way of achieving this. Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense. They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets. Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It's an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life program—working with schools to transform food culture, improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food. It works. In Food for Life schools, pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in comparison schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award, which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients. It encourages local seasonal produce and, at silver or gold level, requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce. At its heart, the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
Over 50% of English primary schools have such an award already, serving around 1.7 million meals each day to over 10，000 schools and it's a figure we'll see grow.
12．What does the underlined word “Addressing” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Tackling. B．Ignoring.
C.Maintaining. D．Postponing.
13．Which approach will work for students to build a balanced diet
A.Stopping them eating alone in schools.
B.Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.
C.Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.
D.Increasing the availability and flavor of food.
14．What can we say about the Food for Life program
A.It's a heavy load on schools.
B.It's complicated to operate.
C.It's a temporary project.
D.It's a fruitful attempt.
15．Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote
A.Sugary snacks.
B.First class sausages.
C.High quality imported beef.
D.Freshly picked organic beans.

[2022·潍坊高三模拟]In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and recruited (招收) volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a site for the program.
But on the first day of camp, in spite of my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquets (球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home, Eli told me, than “learning stupid tennis and reading boring books” .
I dragged myself home that afternoon. That evening, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.
Then Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight？” Peering up at her eager face, I couldn't help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It's all yours！” I said.
Somehow, in the midst of the chaos and the schedule changes and the meetings, these children, in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story.
4．What happened the first day of the programme
A．Participants watched TV at home.
B．The programme worked out badly.
C．Volunteers failed to do their duties.
D．The plan lived up to the expectation.
5．What did the author do to make the programme a success
A．She recruited new volunteers.
B．She replaced the books used.
C．She made adjustments to the plan.
D．She established volunteers' leading part.
6．Why did the author lift Mylea off the ground quickly
A．She sensed something was wrong.
B．She thought Mylea needed comfort.
C．Mylea's boredom in reading discouraged her.
D．Mylea's great passion for reading amazed her.
7．What is the text mainly about

[2022·昆明市模拟]China has just officially opened its FAST radio telescope to international scientists. Scientists across the world can submit proposals for astronomical observations using the telescope.
FAST is short for Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (球面射电望远镜) and it is also believed to be the world's largest radio telescope and the most sensitive single dish radio telescope. The receiving surface area of FAST is 250，000 square meters, about the size of 30 standard football fields. Its construction was completed in September 2016 and it officially began operating in January 2020.
The major scientific task of the telescope is the observation of pulsars (脉冲星)—the rotating neutron stars. The study of pulsars can help to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, and help solve many other major questions in physics. Another scientific goal of FAST is to search for outer space civilization.
The telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression in southwest China's Guizhou Province. The first advantage of the selected site is the altitude. The average altitude of Guizhou is about 1，100 meters, which maximizes the effectiveness of the observation equipment. Secondly, the radio telescope needs to have a “big pan” to receive better signals. The huge natural depression could reduce the amount of excavation (挖掘) and difficulty of construction. Moreover, the selected site in Guizhou is far away from cities, and has a small population, which reduces the interference (干扰) caused by wireless devices such as TVs, mobile phones and radios from human activities.
FAST has identified over 300 pulsars. Experts predict that the number could reach 1，000 in five years and that the telescope could locate and identify the first pulsar outside the Galaxy. With the opening up to international scientists, China's FAST is expected to make more contribution to astronomical research in the future.
8．What do we know about FAST
A．It is opened to global scientists.
B．It is a project under construction.
C．It has provided service since 2016
D．It has found a pulsar outside the Galaxy.
9．What is the main task of FAST
A．To study black holes.
B．To observe the pulsars.
C．To explore the sun.
D．To seek space civilization.
10．What's special about the selected site
A．It's close to urban areas.
B．It reduces engineering amount.
C．It possesses a shallow depression.
D．It's at the highest altitude in China.
11．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Major Scientific Tasks of FAST
B．Ways to Select the Site for FAST
C．Contributions FAST Has Made
D．Facts About FAST Radio Telescope

[2022·合肥高三质量检测]Global health experts say that each year some of the 1.5 million people die from vaccine preventable diseases due to gaping holes in medical record keeping, especially in developing countries where resources to properly document immunizations (免疫注射) may be lacking.
To solve that__problem,__researchers headed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a way to deliver vaccines (疫苗) through a microneedle patch (小片) that is buried in the skin. It's a record that can't be seen, written in quantum dots that contain vaccination history and give off light only readable by a specially equipped smartphone. The scientists say it doesn't require any link to a database and it doesn't tie any personal information into it.
For now, the patch can only contain a handful of simple shapes. But adding more microneedles could make the designs more complex, potentially conveying information about a vaccination's date, dosage and more. From there, reading the dots becomes a lot like scanning a QR code. These designs could be scanned and interpreted by smartphones, and someday allow health providers to access patients' past vaccinations without chaos of external records.
The next step, before trials in people, is to test its practicability among experts in the field. The researchers now plan to work with health care workers in developing nations in Africa to get input on the best way to carry out this type of vaccination record keeping.
“Ultimately, we believe that this invisible ‘on body’ technology opens up new possibilities for data storage and biosensing applications that could influence the way medical care is provided, especially in the developing world，” the researchers conclude.
12．What do the underlined words “that problem” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Few medical resources.
B．Wrong ways to deliver vaccines.
C．Lack of vaccination record keeping.
D．The fact that no vaccinations are required in developing countries.
13．What can we learn about quantum dots
A．They keep a record of the vaccination.
B．They need to be connected to a database.
C．They give away one's personal information.
D．They can read light produced by smartphones.
14．How will health providers access patients' past vaccinations
A．By reading the QR code.
B．By scanning the design.
C．By interpreting external records.
D．By increasing microneedles.
15．What do the researchers expect of the new technology
A．It will be cost saving.
B．It will hit the market soon.
C．It may ensure the accuracy of data.
D．It may bring changes to medical care.

[2022·武汉部分学校高三质量检测]I was 29 when my brother in law said to me, “It would be nice if one day you could make use of your education.” I had a degree and an MA (Master of Arts) in creative writing which, as far as I was concerned, I used every day—reading novels, trying to write novels, arguing about politics, interpreting the meanings in French films, and generally leading an examined life. But my brother in law, who left school at 18, didn't understand why, as a journalist, I was bringing home less than half the salary he earned in the hospitality (服务) industry.
I thought of my brother in law's comment this week when the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) released figures showing that, on average, male arts graduates earn less at the age of 29 than their non－graduate peers. Graduates of the same age overall are only earning 6% more than non graduates. For women, the figure is 26%, but earnings growth for women overall is lower, so the benefits from going to university are greater.
The IFS figures drew a predictable response from Sam Gyimah, who listed some courses of arts degrees in certain universities that are not delivering the financial outcomes for students and threatened to punish institutions that don't improve students' earning prospects. This attack on arts degrees raises fundamental questions about what we want from education and, indeed, from life.
No one can deny that arts degrees give students the skills to speak and work out what they want to say and how to say it. Studying Sigmund Freud, or reading James Joyce or Toni Morrison for the first time, introduces students to ideas that challenge their intellectual prejudices, as well as the consensus (共识) of the society around them. The value of an arts degree in life is incalculable.
4．What did the author think of his major according to Paragraph 1
A.Hopeless. B．Unrealistic.
C.Ordinary. D．Meaningful.
5．What do the IFS figures indicate
A.Men graduates earn less than non graduate peers.
B.Women graduates earn less than non graduates.
C.The income increase rate for women is much higher.
D.Women benefit more from getting college education.
6．How did Sam Gyimah respond to the IFS figures
A.He put pressure on some institutions.
B.He punished some institutions.
C.He bettered students' earning prospects.
D.He accused colleges of giving false hope.
7．What does the text suggest people do about degrees
A.Challenge their intellectual prejudices.
B.Consider what they expect of life.
C.Work out what they want to say.
D.Think if they can make money.

[2022·武汉市高三供题]As a child, Paolo Fanciulli was attracted by underwater abandoned ships, particularly the fish and seagrass that lived in them. But in the past decade, his job as a fisherman has grown harder, as trawling (用拖网捕鱼) near the coast has been destroying the Mediterranean ecosystem. “The nets are weighed down with heavy chains to be dragged on the sea bottom, so they uproot the seagrass that is key to the Mediterranean ecosystem，” he said.
While Italian law bans trawling within 5.5 kilometres of the coast, it's so profitable that it's not uncommon for boats to carry on illegally at night.
In 2006, a desperate Tuscan government dropped concrete blocks into the sea to interrupt the trawlers. Fanciulli said they didn't work as they were too far apart and the nets simply dragged between them. He then began to wonder: what if, instead of dropping concrete blocks into the water, he dropped art He asked a mine in nearby Carrara to donate two marble (大理石) blocks to make sculptures. They donated 100 instead.
Through word of mouth, contributions and online crowdfunding, Fanciulli persuaded artists including Giorgio Butini and Beverly Pepper to carve sculptures from the marble. Then he took them to sea and lowered them in. The underwater sculptures create both a physical barrier for nets and a unique underwater museum.
The “museum” appears to be having some effects gradually. Although 10 years ago the seagrass was disappearing, it is now growing back. The statues also deserve credit for helping to preserve the fishing industry by protecting the fish resources because the nursery areas of various commercial fish species are below the coast. All kinds of undersea life appear to be returning. Seagrass covers the statues, shellfish has taken up residence, and more dolphins have been seen.
Fanciulli hopes to build on the museum's success. “We put in the first statues, in 2007 but our goal is to reach 100，” he said, sensing an opportunity.
8．What has made Fanciulli's job grow harder
A.An illegal fishing practice.
B.The declining fishing industry.
C.The concrete blocks underwater.
D.The increasing number of fishermen.
9．What does Fanciulli mean by “dropped art” in Paragraph 3
A.Establishing an arts museum.
B.Removing the concrete blocks.
C.Appealing for artists' donation.
D.Laying sculptures under the sea.
10．Which of the following can best describe Fanciulli's measure
A.Fruitless. B．Doubtful.
C.Conventional. D．Rewarding.
11．What's the text mainly about
A. Benefits brought by fine arts.
B.Harm trawling does to marine life.
C.Efforts by a fisherman to protect sea life.
D.Attempts by artists to preserve biodiversity.

[2022·济南市高考针对性训练]About seven years ago, Kristin and Josh Mohagen were honeymooning in Napa Valley in California when they smelled something surprising in their glasses of wine: green pepper. It was explained that the grapes in that bottle had ripened on a hillside alongside a field of green peppers. “That was my first experience with terroir，” Josh Mohagen says.
It made an impression. Inspired by their time in Napa, the Mohagens returned home and launched a chocolate business based on the principle of terroir, often defined as “a sense of place”．
The definition of terroir is somewhat fluid. Wine enthusiasts use the French term to describe the environmental conditions in which a grape is grown that give a wine its unique taste and smell. The soil, climate and even the orientation (朝向) of a hillside or the company of neighboring plants, and insects play a role. Some experts expand terroir to include specific cultural practices for growing and processing grapes that could also influence taste.
The idea of terroir is quite old. In the Middle Ages, the winemakers in Burgundy, France, divided the countryside into different climate areas, according to differences in the landscape that seemed to translate into unique wine characteristics. Wines produced around the village of Gevrey Chambertin, for example, “are famous for being fuller bodied, more tannic than most，” said Joe Quinn, wine director of The Red Hen, a restaurant in Washington, D.C. “In contrast, the wines from the village of Chambolle Musigny, just a few miles south, are widely considered to be more fine, delicate and lighter bodied.”
A recent wave of scientific research suggests that the environment and production practices can, in fact, produce a chemical or microbial (微生物的) signature so distinctive that scientists can use the signature to trace food back to its origin. And in some cases, these techniques are beginning to offer clues on how terroir can shape the smell and taste of food and drinks.
12．What impressed the Mohagens most during their stay in Napa
A.The smell from the wine.
B.The field of green peppers.
C.The scenery of Napa Valley.
D.The ripe grapes on a hillside.
13．What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Impractical. B．Specific.
C.Uncertain. D．Conventional.
14．Why did the author quote a wine director in Paragraph 4
A.To demonstrate the effect of terroir.
B.To introduce two types of grape wine.
C.To prove the long history of terroir.
D.To get a restaurant known to the public.
15．What can be learned about terroir from the text
A.Its research is of little benefit.
B.It gives food its unique features.
C.Its value needs to be further tested.
D.It is a newly acknowledged concept.

[2022·武汉市质量检测]A 15 year old Colorado high school student and young scientist who has used artificial intelligence (AI) and created apps to address polluted drinking water and other social problems has been named Time magazine's first ever “Kid of the Year”．
Rao told The Associated Press in an interview from her home that the prize is “nothing that I could have ever imagined. And I'm so grateful and just so excited that we're really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.”
Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and inspiring them to pursue their goals. Rao insisted that starting out small doesn't matter, as long as you're passionate about it.
She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions. The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, inspired her to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those results to a mobile phone, she said.
“I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube (纳米管) sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab, and my mum was like, ‘A what？’” Rao told Jolie. She said that work “is going to be in our generation's hands pretty soon. So if no one else is gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.”
In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world.
“We have science in everything we're involved in, and I think that's the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be an innovator，” Rao said. “Anybody can do science.”

[2022·河北省六校联考]The COVID 19 pandemic has changed life as we knew it just a few weeks ago. Millions of people worldwide are now under required or voluntary lockdown. All public attractions, including museums and aquariums, are closed, and the usually crowded streets of popular tourist destinations are empty. An unexpected silver lining during these challenging times for humans is that many animals are finally getting a chance to leave their normal habitats and move about freely.
The first animals to take advantage of human absence were Annie and Edward, two penguins who live at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium. A video released on March 15, 2020, showed the couple eagerly duckwalking around, exploring the aquarium's various exhibits. The video, which instantly became popular, inspired other institutions to share short videos of their four legged creatures playing as well.
The Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio joined the fun trend on March 16, 2020, with a “Home Safari” live stream series—the first starring its adorable baby panda, Fiona.“Let us help make your children's hiatus from school fun and educational，” zoo officials announced. “Join us for a Home Safari Online Live each weekday at 3 pm, where we will highlight one of our amazing animals and include an activity you can do from home.”
Meanwhile, the San Diego Safari Park has kept their webcams (网络摄像头) rolling, allowing fans to enjoy lovable animals without leaving home. Animals in the wild are also lively as humans stay indoors. The absence of cruise ships is bringing large numbers of dolphins to a port in Cagliari, while groups of wild turkeys are happily walking on the streets of Oakland.
Though the animals indeed appear to be having a good time, the heartwarming videos and images shared on social media, are also bringing much needed cheer to millions of humans worldwide. Stay strong and healthy! We are all in this together!
5．What changes has the COVID 19 pandemic caused to the zoo animals
A．They are now under required or voluntary lockdown.
B．They can enjoy a free life without tourists' disturbance.
C．They will be faced with unexpected challenges.
D．They get a chance to wander about freely in the wild.
6．What does the underlined word “hiatus” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Course. B．Sightseeing.
C．Activity. D．Interruption.
7．Why has the San Diego Safari Park kept its webcams rolling
A．To enable people to admire animals at home.
B．To film the animals wandering about in the zoo.
C．To compete for more viewers online.
D．To record people's life in the COVID 19 crisis.

Ⅱ.七选五
[2022·东北三校一模]It seems that society has placed so much value on the word “humility (谦逊)”. Sometimes we're told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee.
__1__， rather than how society looks at you, according to a US based business magazine. Here are three ways to start developing a more modest personality.
1.Stop questioning your worth
Being mild mannered does not contradict recognizing your worth, because you'll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Humility will then come as a natural consequence. __2__. Worth shouldn't be measured by what you compete for in society. Rather, it's your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are.
2.__3__
Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work. __4__. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision.
Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across. You'll gradually realize that either a step forward or backward won't affect your value.
3．Accept uncertainty
__5__. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as the band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it. Furthermore, appreciating the unknown instead of fearing it is also a way to reduce stress.
A．Be eager and flexible
B．Be determined and hard working
C．Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty
D．Uncertainty is a double edged sword in many cases
E．Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside variables
F．This can allow you to interact with the people around you in new ways
G．The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings

[2022·合肥市高三第一次教学质量检测]Rock climbing, one of the fastest growing sports, not only builds physical strength and mental focus, but also leads you to some beautiful places. Here are some climbing spots for climbers.
Acadia National Park, Maine
This popular New England park is one of the few places where you can climb seaside rocks. The granite (花岗岩) is good for climbing. In some areas, you need to start when the sea is at its lowest level. The area has guides, instructors and climbing schools, making it particularly welcoming for beginners.
More information: nps. gov/acad
Red River Gorge, Kentucky
This geological area in Daniel Boone National Forest is prized for its climbing routes and rock scenery. The park, located an hour's drive southeast of Lexington, is well known in the climbing world for both its beginner friendly terrain (地形) and more challenging sections. It's a place where you can find a lot of fellow climbers.

[2022·太原市高三年级模拟考试(二)]Some time ago, in my class I was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student claimed he deserved a better score. The examination question sounded “safe”： “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer (气压表).” The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower the barometer to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building.”
I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this. I suggested that the student have another try. Immediately, he worked out his answer: A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, using the formula to calculate the height of the building.
I was shocked by his answer. His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U turn in my teaching philosophy. I gave him full marks.
On his leaving my office, I recalled that he suggested there could be a better answer. So I asked him what it was. “Oh, yes，” said the student. “There are many ways. Probably the best，” he said, “is to take the barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent (大楼的管理人). You speak to him as follows, ‘Mr, Superintendent, here I have a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of this building, I will give it to you.’”
At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school instructors' trying to teach him how to think, and how to use the so called “scientific method”. He just wanted to solve the problem in a practical manner, not just answer the question in an expected way. Hearing this, I really had nothing to do but give the boy a firm handshake, feeling thankful that I hadn't failed him in the first place and even more thankful that neither had he.
4．Why did the author want to fail the student in the first place
A.The student challenged his authority.
B.The student's answer was not practical.
C.The student didn't show his academic ability.
D.The student had a poor performance in physics class.
5．Which of the following can best describe the author's new teaching philosophy
A.Without love, there is no education.
B.A man becomes learned by asking questions.
C.Teaching is to make two ideas grow where only one grew before.
D.You can lead your horse to the river, but you can't make it drink.
6．What made the student abandon the conventional answer
A．Lack of physics related knowledge.
B．Ignorance of the teacher's expectation.
C．Intention to deeply impress his teacher.
D．Disapproval of existing teaching concepts.
7．What can we infer from the text
A．The superintendent was a greedy person.
B.School education restricted this student's thinking.
C.The teacher appreciated the student's answer finally.
D.The examination question is a tough physics problem.

[2022·泉州市高三质量监测(一)]People today are not unfamiliar with terms such as “going eco friendly” and “sustainable lifestyle” However, there exists a group of sceptics (怀疑论者) who believe that going eco friendly is merely a fad (一时的风尚). I disagree with this viewpoint. Going eco friendly is not merely a fad and it does, in fact, change the beliefs and attitudes of people.
The long term presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards going eco friendly. Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go eco friendly. The high involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going eco friendly is not merely a fad but a trend that can last decades.
Another strong indicator is the emergence of sustainable products in many industries, such as organic produce and electric vehicles. The consumer demand, coupled with eco conscious (环保意识的) businesses, is behind the sharp increase in such products. This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Thus, it seems quite certain that going eco friendly is not merely a fad.
While some people who broadcast their eco friendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco conscious image, there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zero waste lifestyle for years. For those who do so for years, and not mere days or months, it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth.
The call to save the earth looks set to stay. With the development of technology and the appearance of many platforms advocating going green, people are more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and individuals. It is hoped that these efforts will go a long way in ensuring that our planet will remain a suitable place to live in.
8．Why does the author mention World Wildlife Fund
A.To appreciate its environmental efforts.
B.To encourage people to go eco friendly.
C.To evidence the universal recognition of going green.
D.To highlight the difficulty in changing people's attitudes.
9．What does the underlined word “emergence” mean in Paragraph 3
A.Sudden disappearance.
B.Sharp increase.
C.Gradual development.
D.Limited application.
10．What does the author expect of technology development
A.It may discourage people from sustainable lifestyle.
B.It may boost the business of organic produce.
C.It will be used to project an eco conscious image.
D.It will promote environmental awareness.
11．What is the author's purpose in writing this text
A.To prove going eco friendly is a lasting trend.
B.To popularize the eco friendly products.
C.To offer strategies to go eco friendly.
D.To advertise for eco friendly platforms.

[2022·河北省高三六校第一次联考试题]An unconventional method for growing rice has been found to increase yields (产量) by 20 to 50 percent. Reports from China, India, Southeast Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the “system of rice intensification” (SRI) , which needs one tenth as many seeds and aims to stimulate the root system of plants rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved seeds and fertilizers.
The idea of using less to gain more is seen as an important innovation for adapting farming to climate change and a way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but traditional plant breeding and genetically modified techniques have failed to increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Norman Uphoff, professor of International Agriculture at Cornell University.
The new way to grow rice needs only half as much water, and proves most popular in water stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph. D. researcher. “Rice growing in Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and warmer summers.”
“SRI is a great technique, not just from the water saving perspective but because it offers better yields and soil conditions.Different studies, both at the experimental level and farmer participative level, have shown that SRI improves yields with less water，” Shah adds.
Some academics, the global seed industry and the international community once rejected reports of “fantastic” yields, accusing farmers of falsifying (篡改) records and researchers of carelessness and “non science”. But more than 600 articles, checked by SRI International Network and Resources Center at Cornell University, have shown benefits.
Uphoff says, “Attitudes are changing. The original hostility (敌意) has gone.” However, the early opposition has resulted in comparatively little scientific research being conducted into SRI and a slow understanding by funders.
12．How does SRI increase the yields of rice
A.By sowing more seeds.
B.By using improved seeds.
C.By improving its root system.
D.By adopting special fertilizers.
13．Compared with the conventional method for growing rice, SRI ________．
A.needs less water
B.increases labor costs
C.requires better soil conditions
D.depends on genetically modified techniques
14．What was the global seed industry's initial attitude toward reports on SRI
A．Curious. B．Skeptical.
C．Approving. D．Uninterested.
15．What is the passage mainly about
A.How to increase yields.
B.People's attitudes towards SRI.
C.An innovative means of growing rice.
D.The disadvantages of conventional plant breeding.

[2022·唐山市二模]Have you ever been labeled a “perfectionist”？ Or do you consider yourself to be one It's inviting to see perfectionism as a desirable or positive quality. __1__
Healthy perfectionists want to develop their skills continually. Their standards are always rising, and they approach their work with optimism, pleasure and a desire to improve. Unhealthy perfectionists, however, are never satisfied with what they achieve. __2__ They may experience fear of failure, anxiety and other painful emotions.
__3__ According to the 2011 research, perfectionism is linked to health issues such as eating disorders and depression. Perfectionism can also seriously impact your creativity. This is because perfectionism can prevent you from leaving your comfort zone and taking risks. __4__ You may avoid starting a new project until you've found the best way to approach it. You might also get caught up in minor details or repeat tasks that have already been completed. As a result, this wastes time that could have been spent on more important tasks.
If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, start by setting realistic goals. Think about your most important life and career goals. __5__ Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also experience the thrill of achieving these smaller goals.
Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt said it best—“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Accept that this is the best you can do and don't try and make up some perfect world.
A.If something isn't perfect, they refuse it.
B.Perfectionism can lead to self criticism, too.
C.Perfectionism can damage your productivity, too.
D.Then, break them down into monthly or yearly steps.
E.In fact, severe perfectionism can do more harm than good.

Family friendly walks
PADLEY GORGE
Next to Grindleford Station, eight miles north of Bakewell, lies Padley Gorge. Trails are kept as natural as possible—it's more a case of finding the gaps in the woods than following a path.
LONGSHAW ESTATE
The 1.7 mile walking route around this National Trust estate skirts the upper end of Padley Gorge. Children love the stepping stones, though Longshaw is mostly all about the giant fallen trees, left in place for little hands and feet to delightfully climb over.
HIGGER TOR
A pile of giant rocks dominates Higger Tor, the best of several lookouts along the Ringinglow Road between Hathersage and Sheffield. Walk through the nearby fields, then let the kids climb over hundreds of strangely smooth grey stones. The views out over the Hope Valley are great and impressive, and the rock pools in Burbage Brook are perfect for rowing in.
STANAGE EDGE
Popular with rock climbers, this stone cliff marks the boundary of the mysterious land of the Dark Peak cliff and the grass covered flat land of White Peak. It's a six miles circular walk from Hathersage. Alternatively, park at the Hollin Bank Car Park and climb half a mile to the top, out of breath.
CHATSWORTH ESTATE
A three mile circle from Calton Lees Car Park takes in a ruined factory, the pretty village of Edensor and views of Chatsworth House. Appreciate the stretch along the River Derwent—deer often hang out there.
1．Whom is the text intended for
A．Friends.　　　　B．Farmers.　　　　C．Families.　　　　D．Climbers.
2．Which walks are most suitable for children

[2022·广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试(二)]Tourists to the North Antrim Coast come for its breathtaking beauty. On this stretch of coast, myth and history live side by side, and running out of things to do is nearly impossible. Giant's Causeway, Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge, the Iron Islands' filming locations...
However, when I make my way to the north of the country in October, none of them are on my mind. What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush is the wave.
Located on a peninsula, Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town. But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores. Although still relatively unknown, it's a surfer's dream destination. This is the home of the six time Irish national surfing champion, Andrew Hill, after all.
I meet Andrew at his surf shop, the most popular surf shop in Portrush. After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand Beach, I quickly realise that my trusted wetsuit is not enough. Within just 30 minutes, I've lost all feeling in my feet and hands, and my ears are burning. I retreat to a nearby café and gulp down steaming tea before popping into Andrew's shop again. Surf boots are what I need, I decide. I leave with new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves. I'm invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon, but I decline his generous offer. My head is set on one thing only: taking revenge on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that very morning.
Even with boots, surfing the cold waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple. I become covered in bruises that don't register until I thaw out each night, and it takes a couple of days to fully regain feeling in my hands. But it's worth it, and I would gladly do it all over again.
4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The popular attractions. B．Coastal towns.
C．The filming locations. D．Passionate tourists.
5．Why is the author attracted to the North Antrim Coast
A．It has internationally famous beaches.
B．It's home to the usual seaside attractions.
C．It produces excellent waves for surfing.
D．It's the hometown of a surfing champion.
6．The author goes back to the surf shop to ________．
A．better equip himself for the challenge
B．consult with some experienced surfers
C．accompany the owner on a later surf trip
D．quickly warm himself up with some hot tea
7．What is the tone of the passage
A．Narrative and serious. B．Persuasive and critical.
C．Descriptive and positive. D．Informative and objective.

[2022·长春市高三质量监测(一)]The fertile land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt at an astonishing rate, in some parts estimated at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the Nile River, but this is no longer happening.
Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the Aswan Dam in the south of Egypt, which holds back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. Before the dam was built, the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment. But when the Aswan Dam was constructed to provide electricity and the irrigation, and to protect the huge population center of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer accumulated above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the delta.
Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800 kilometre trip to Cairo. Jean Daniel Stanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo indicated that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water—almost half of what it carried before the dam was built.
International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile Delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem.
But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make artificial floods to flush out the delta waterways, in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dam. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
8．What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta
A．The Mediterranean Sea. B．The Nile River.
C．The Aswan Dam. D．Lake Nasser.
9．Why was the Aswan Dam built
A．To flush out the river bed.
B．To offer electricity and protection.
C．To make the water in the Nile River clean.
D．To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient rich.
10．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．There is no need to worry about the delta.
B．The methods of measurement need improving.
C．Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen.
D．The dam's consequences are beyond people's expectation.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Difficulties to be settled. B．Rewards for the challenge.
C．Severe influence of the situation. D．Possible solutions to the problem.

[2022·厦门市高三第三次质量检测]When you think of Chinese food in the U．S., fried rice, or General Tso's chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors' palates (味觉). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it's unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one，” says Kian Lam Kho, a co curator (联合策展人) of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation. That's why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the U．S., you'll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants' lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That's the one place which you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past，” explains co curator Audra Ang．
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family's meals when she was a child. “I still make the beef with stir fried celery my father used to cook，” she says. And it's the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
12．What is the new museum exhibition mainly about
A．Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
B．Exploration of famous restaurants.
C．History of Chinese immigration.
D．Cuisine of different countries.
13．Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants' lives
A．It provides a wealthy life.
B．It helps them to accept new cultures.
C．It brings a sense of belonging.
D．It enables them to forget the past.
14．What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4
A．She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B．She made most meals as a child.
C．She learned cooking from her father.
D．She lives with a big family.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
B．Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C．Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the U．S.
D．Cuisine Gains New Variations

A year ago, I had one of the most important interviews of my life. __16__ I could say what I thought the interviewers wanted to hear. I'm so good at multitasking that I would be able to shoulder various responsibilities. That might be true, yet it seemed to be unreal. The more honest answer was that I knew it would be difficult, but I wanted to try anyway. __17__
This tough situation led me to hesitate during the interview. It also recalled my past experience of being interviewed when an interviewer asked me to give an example of a time when I had been caring. The answer that came to mind was that I volunteered at a nursing home and felt honored to sit with the patients and listen to their stories. But I didn't think that was dramatic enough to impress the interviewers. So, instead, I told them when one of the residents threw up, I cleaned it up. __18__ That wasn't caring and it suggested that my best quality was being skillful at using a mop (拖把).
Back to my most recent interview and the question about how to shoulder multiple responsibilities of the role. __19__ I had learned the significance of being true to myself. So I answered simply，“With difficulty.” To my relief, the review members nodded knowingly and smiled. This exam can test my honesty and I can come up with appropriate answers.
I've come to realize that interviews don't have “right” or “wrong” answers. I still see them as exams, but they're not testing my ability to copy somebody else's answers. Actually, the exam is about something I am well familiar with：me. __20__
A．I hesitated—but not for long.
B．I immediately felt embarrassed.
C．I wasn't sure of which answer to give.
D．Never give the interviewers wrong answers.
E．It seemed the interviewers were quite satisfied.
F．It's not about “right” answers but about being yourself.
G．At the end, I was asked how to balance the different parts of the role.

[2022·山东中学联盟高三大联考]The signs appeared practically overnight. They appeared everywhere. Each featured just a few uplifting words in simple black type: “Don't Give Up” “You Are Worthy of Love”. At the high school in Newberg, Oregon, two students killed themselves that year, so the town of 25，000 instantly understood the messages. For days, what no one could figure out was who had planted them.
Amy Wolff had. She felt necessary to address Newberg's grief. She planted the signs anonymously (匿名地) because she wanted them to focus on the messages, not any one person.
Yet as Wolff saw the deep influence her signs had on her neighbors, she decided to share her messages publicly. Instantly, her mailbox was flooded with requests for more signs. She asked a friend, graphic designer Jessica Brittell, to print more. “We decided to just ride it out, just keep going until the orders stop，” says Wolff.
That was in May 2017. Since then, the Don't Give Up Movement launched by Wolff has spread from Newberg to the hearts and yards of people in every state and several countries. Wolff charges only the cost of materials and shipping. “It's a terrible business decision if we wanted to function like a business，” she says.
One of the most heartening elements of the Don't Give Up Movement is that it has gone viral in a remarkably human way. People have taken to planting the signs in their towns, taking selfies, and then posting them to share.
“It was the best feeling in the world that I could have an impact outside of school by using these products ，” says a teacher in Texas, teaching a lesson in unity after his classroom moved online. “This was a good way to let them know that we care even when we can't see them.”
Wolff's messages are about to grow yet again. “But there has never been a more fierce backdrop to the power of hope and sympathetic action than right now，” Wolff shares.
1．What did Amy Wolff do in the town

3．What did Wolff sacrifice to satisfy consumers' needs

[2022·重庆市第二次调研]Recently Meituan co published a proposal with a number of business organizations, including China General Chamber of Commerce and China Cuisine Association, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help cultivate new eating habits for customers. “Restaurants should innovate means of publicity using official accounts on social media and live streaming to promote and advocate food saving actions，” the proposal said.
Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to help them avoid food waste due to misleading information.
Catering (饮食服务) associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to eliminate food waste. The China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Eleme, the Alibaba Group Holding owned food delivery platform, to launch a “half dish plan”， encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “N—1” ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required.
To curb portrayals of food waste on social media platforms, popular Chinese video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have stepped up content reviews of food related live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows. Now if users search certain key words, such as “eating show” or “competitive eaters” , a cautionary message pops up to remind them to cherish food and maintain a reasonable diet.
5．Why did Meituan start such a proposal
A.To popularize itself.
B.To save itself.
C.To mislead the public.
D.To prevent food waste.
6．What can be inferred from the passage
A.Wuhan Catering Association's proposal was a good practice.
B.The “half dish plan” functioned better than the“N—1” ordering code.

B.More food is welcome when we treat our dear friends.
C.Few organizations realized the importance of food waste.
D.Online eating shows are monitored via media platforms.
8．How many good means of avoiding food waste are mentioned here
A.None. B．Two.

[2022·泉州市高三质量检测(一)]Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never minding that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic era composers including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway—and in her determination to spend hours practicing a Chopin concerto (协奏曲), wound up injuring herself.
The efforts of Professor Carol Leone from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) have changed all that: Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U．S. to introduce smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi, 21 years old, tried one of the smaller keyboards, “I remember being really excited, because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes，” she said.
For decades, few questioned the size of the traditional piano. For those with small hand spans (掌距), it's difficult to properly play many works of Beethoven and Brahms. Those who attempt to play them either get used to skipping notes or risk injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of musicians, she favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand spans and earned a doctor in musical arts.
The idea of smaller keyboards first met resistance from some traditionalists. Leone also said that when she raised the issue with one Viennese professor, he told her there were already too many pianists anyway.
Though such resistance is fading, there are some very traditional people who think of piano as a competitive thing. Leone said, “This is art. It's not sport. It's about making as much beautiful art as possible, and we should give everybody the opportunity to do that.”
1．Why did Eliana Yi find it hard to play a Chopin concerto well
A．Her fingers got injured.
B．It was time consuming.
C．Her hand spans were small.
D．The traditional piano was out of tune.
2．What is Paragraph 4 intended to do
A．Summarize the previous paragraphs.
B．Provide some advice for pianists.
C．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
D．Add some background information.
3．What is the Viennese professor's attitude towards smaller keyboards
A．Unclear.
B．Objective.
C．Disapproving.
D．Positive.
4．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．A Hard working SMU Professor
B．The Story Behind Smaller Keyboard Pianos
C．Traditional Piano: a Competitive Thing
D．Yi's Road to a Brilliant Artist

[2022·武汉部分学校高三质量检测]When Joseph Cook first landed on the Greenland ice sheet in 2010, he was expecting to see a primitive white environment. What he found was a “colorful mix”—from black and gray to green, purple and brown, with neon (霓虹) blue melt streams cutting through the ice. The rainbow colours Cook encountered are created by a collection of tiny life forms that reproduce on the surface of the ice sheet. Biodiversity is usually considered a good thing, but in this case the abundance of tiny life is speeding up ice melting, and likely causing global sea level to rise faster than scientists have predicted.
Cook says the tiny life forms he studies are contributing to the problem. One of these organisms is an alga (海藻) that grows in the thin layer of water on the surface of the ice. It produces a purple brown pigment (色素) which acts “like a natural sunscreen”， says Cook, protecting the algae from the full force of the Arctic sunlight. The pigment also causes the ice to heat up and melt.
“If you go out on a hot day wearing a black T shirt, you get warmer than if you go out on a hot day wearing a white T shirt. The same thing happens on the ice，” says Cook. “These algae, like the black T shirt for the glacier, are causing it to warm up in the sun and melt faster.”
Cook's research on a part of the Greenland ice sheet covering 3，900 square miles revealed that algae are responsible for up to 13% of the ice melting. In some localized areas, the algae boosted melting by up to 26%.
Glacier algae are not a new phenomenon—there are records of them in the diaries of polar explorers from the 1870s, according to Cook. What's becoming clear is that ice sheets are surprisingly dynamic and complex environments. “There are so many questions to answer，” says Cook. “It's kind of like a theme park for a scientist because there's just so much to do.”
5．What is quickening the ice melting
A．The algae.
B．Human activities.
C．Global warming.
D．Neon blue melt streams.
6．Why is the example of wearing a black T shirt mentioned
A．To clarify a rule.
B．To explain the phenomenon.
C．To add humour.
D．To make a conclusion.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Scientists will avoid exploring polar regions.
B．Cook feels proud of the current results.
C．A theme park will be built on ice sheets.
D．There's a long way for research into ice sheets.
8．From which is the text probably taken
A．A news review.
B．A travel brochure.
C．A Chinese textbook.
D．A science magazine.

[2022·临沂市高三一模]As we know, mental health is in a worse situation among young people globally. __1__ This not only lowers quality of life, but has a negative impact on a teenager's growth. To get at the root causes of this decline, a group of scientists conducted a study and found the combination of high screen time and low “green time” greatly affects mental well being. Children nowadays spend more time than ever in front of electronic devices.
The average daily screen time for 8 to 18 year olds was 7.5 hours in the U. S. ten years ago. As the study states, “This greatly goes above guidelines of 2 hours per day.” Now the condition is worse by the fact that so many schools are using technology to teach classes. Indeed some screen time can promote connections and enable tasks to be done more efficiently. __2__ In addition to troubling nerve stimulation, too much screen time takes the place of important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, and academic activities.
The study authors suggest that green time could act as a cure for screen time, essentially balancing its negative effects. __3__ The attention systems can be restored in natural environment when they are worn out, because they employ involuntary attention there, which is not tiring or effortful.
__4__ The great nature could potentially function as a psychological well being promotion intervention (干预) for children and teenagers in a high tech era. This knowledge could be a guide to public health departments that are struggling to restore happiness and cheer in countless anxious teenagers. __5__．
A．Teenagers urgently need more green time.
B．Screen based technology makes kids less attentive.
C．The frequency of depression and anxiety is increasing.
D．There are many more ways, nevertheless, in which it is harmful.
E．It suggests more outdoor projects like building parks could be fundamental.
F．Paying constant directed attention to screens can raise directed attention tiredness.

[2022·河北高三六校联考]Not long ago, Linda Khan was sitting by a hospital bed in Houston, feeling ill at ease. Beside her lay her father who needed heart surgery. The two of them had engaged in nothing but depressing small talk. Then, her eyes fell on a pile of books. She picked up one, and started to read it out loud. “Right away it changed the mood and atmosphere，” she says. Reading gave the daughter a way to connect with her father. Listening allowed the father to travel on the sound of his daughter's voice into a place where he felt himself again. “From then on，” Khan says, “I always read to him.”
In a 2010 survey in the United Kingdom, elderly adults who joined weekly read aloud groups reported better concentration, less anxiety, and an improved ability to socialize. The survey authors owed these improvements in large part to the “rich, varied diet of serious literature” that group members consumed, with fiction encouraging feelings of relaxation and calm, poetry fostering focused concentration, and narratives giving rise to cognitive (认知的) thoughts, feelings, and memories. In truth, almost any kind of reading to another person can be beneficial.
Readers get rewards too. For Neil Bush, the late life hospitalization of his famous parents, George H．W. and Barbara Bush, became opportunities to repay a debt of gratitude. “When I was a kid, they would read to me，” he said. With his parents in and out of care, “We've been reading books about Dad's foreign policy and, more recently, Mom's autobiography.” Bush went on, his voice thick with emotion, “And to read their amazing life to them has been a remarkable blessing to me, personally, as their son.”
To many people, reading to parents may seem so far outside the normal range of regular activities, and it may even feel odd and improper. However, there are still many people who brave the momentary strangeness of reading to elderly adults and both readers and listeners are, to borrow a phrase from Wordsworth, surprised by the joy of it.
4．What did reading offer to Linda and her father
A．A way to establish a bond.
B．A way to travel together in reality.
C．A way to treat the disease.
D．A way to engage in learning.
5．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Improvements in mental health.
B．Benefits of reading to others.
C．Changes in the cognitive process.
D．Development of social skills.
6．What does Neil Bush's experience prove
A．Reading benefits more than the listener.
B．Parents should read more to their kids.
C．Children should show their gratitude.
D．Reading to parents is children's duty.
7．How does the author feel about reading to an elderly adult
A．Improper and odd.
B．Abnormal but worthy.
C．Rewarding and joyful.

[2022·青岛高中质量检测]Nobody wants to snack on plastic bags or soda rings, but according to a recent study from the University of Newcastle, we could be consuming roughly a credit card's worth of plastic every week.
Microplastics, which are less than a quarter inch size and come in various shapes, have polluted the natural world and infiltrated (渗入) our bodies. The first clue to microplastic exposure in humans came around 2013, when scientists discovered plastic particles in seafood prepared for consumption. But in 2019, when the University of Newcastle study was published, the scientific community understood that the problem was considerably broader. Microplastics shed off clothes and tires and have been found in beer, honey, table salt and other food items. We breathe in plastic staying in the air and drink plastic floating in our drinks. It's no stretch to conclude that our exposure is significant. What we don't know is what this means for us.
The amount of evidence collected on this__subject is growing rapidly, according to Scott Coffin, a toxicologist (毒理学家). Studies done on mice and rats have found that plastic in their bodies can severely damage cells and cause stress.
Because microplastics are too small to clean up, the only solution is to stop plastic waste at the source. And doing so would take a thorough adjustment, given that plastic is deeply embedded in our economy and lifestyle. Stopping using them would fundamentally affect countless industries, including textiles (纺织业), transportation and manufacturing.
“I think we need to have more studies coming out that are directly related to human health before we see a lot more concern from the general public，” Scott said. “It takes a lot to convince people that something that is really convenient for them to use is something they should sacrifice.”
The question of microplastics and human health needs more attention—from the scientific community, the general public, the government and funding groups. The issue isn't being ignored, but it's not being prioritized either.
8．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us about microplastics
A．Their wide usage in daily life.
B．Their harm to human health.
C．Their significant exposure in humans.
D．The new study conducted on them.
9．What does the underlined part “this subject” refer to
A．The way that microplastics exist.
B．The pollution caused by microplastics.
C．The relationship between microplastics and human health.
D．The reason for the existence of microplastics.
10．How to solve the problem according to Scott
A．To cut down plastic production.
B．To carry out more studies on mice and rats.
C.To invent something more convenient than plastic.
D．To promote people's awareness on the harm brought by microplastic.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A．Is microplastic pollution harmful to our health
B．Why is microplastic pollution everywhere
C．Why is plastic harmful
D．What do you know about microplastics

[2022·南昌市模拟]The team, led by Michael T．Tolley, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego, details its findings in the Feb. 17, 2021 issue of the journal Science Robotics.
“This work represents a fundamental yet significant step towards fully autonomous, electronics free walking robots，” said Dylan Drotman, a PhD student in Tolley's research group and the paper's first author.
Applications include low cost robots for entertainment, such as toys, and robots that can operate in environments where electronics cannot function, such as MRI machines. Soft robots are of particular interest because they easily adapt to their environment and operate safely near humans.
Most soft robots are powered by air and are controlled by electronic circuits. But this approach requires complex components like circuit boards, valves (阀门) and pumps—often outside the robot's body. These Components, which make up the robot's brain and nervous system, are typically large and expensive. By contrast, the UC San Diego robot is controlled by a lightweight, low cost system of air powered circuits, made up of tubes and soft valves, on board the robot itself. The robot can walk on command or in response to signals it senses from the environment.
“With our approach, you could make a very complex robotic Brain，” said Tolley, the study's senior author. “Our focus here was to make the simplest air powered nervous system needed to control walking.”
In the future, researchers want to improve the robot's ways to walk so it can walk on natural fields and uneven surfaces. This would allow the robot to navigate over a variety of obstacles (障碍). This would require a more complicated network of sensors and as a result a more complex air powered system. The team will also look at how the technology could be used to create robots, which are in part controlled by air powered circuits for some functions, such as walking.
12．What is the achievement of the team's study
A．Their robots can walk a huge step.
B．Their robots work following commands.
C．Their study gets their electronics for free.
D．They find a new technique in walking robots.
13．What can the team's robots be applied to from the passage
A．Toy companies' products.
B．Environmental protection.
C．Human safety.
D．Factories without workers.
14．What will the researchers probably do
A．Change the way of power.
B. Help robots walk as humans.
C．Improve robots to avoid obstacles.
D. Build a network to control robots.
15．What is the passage mainly talking about
A．The introduction to electronics free walking robots.
B．The functions of newly developed robots.
C．The applications of soft walking robots.
D．The ways to improve traditional robots.

[2022·昆明市高考模拟]I'd never heard of the yangqin—an 18th century Chinese stringed instrument—until this past Sunday, when I had the pleasure of hearing Eastman graduate and music performer Zhang Wenzhuo perform on it in a virtual concert.
Wenzhuo, a Chinese native, began her training on the yangqin at age five. When she was only 13, Wenzhuo was awarded a scholarship to the Arts School of Hebei Province; the highly competitive program only accepted a single yangqin student every two years. After graduation, she placed first in nationwide competitions and was admitted into the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing, where she was awarded her bachelor's in yangqin performance in 2005. She obtained her doctorate from Boston University in music education in 2015 and studied ethnomusicology at Eastman from 2017 to 2019. Wenzhuo has performed with countless orchestras and groups of musicians and won countless awards for her performances.
Before Wenzhuo performed on her yangqin, she presented a brief historical background of the instrument's origin, and discussed its continued usage up to the present day. Determined by musicologists to be based on the similarly structured English hammered dulcimer (大扬琴), the yangqin was first used in Chinese folk music performance and operas. As time went on, performances began to be sponsored by the country, and yangqin performers were given a path to higher levels of social mobility.
Wenzhuo performed four pieces, three tracing their origins to centuries' old Chinese composers, and one from the modern era. Needless to say, Wenzhuo's performances sounded fantastic. The yangqin is a unique and beautiful instrument and its sound, coupled with Wenzhuo's musical ability, allowed the four greatly differing pieces to stand together as a wonderful introduction to the instrument.
It was fascinating to learn about the yangqin and a joy to watch Wenzhuo perform on it.
4．What can we learn about Zhang Wenzhuo
A．She has been trained for 13 years.
B．She topped many competitions.
C．She studied ethnomusicology in Boston.
D．She became a bachelor at Eastman.
5．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Wenzhuo's personalities.
B．Wenzhuo's nationality.
C．Wenzhuo's contributions.
D．Wenzhuo's schooling.

[2022·苏州市高三调研]At first, I didn't recognize the symptoms that we all had in common. Friends mentioned that they were having trouble concentrating. It wasn't burnout—we still had energy. It wasn't depression—we didn't feel hopeless. We just felt somewhat joyless and aimless.
It turns out that there's a name for that: languishing.
Languishing is a sense of inactivity and emptiness. It feels as if you're muddling (混淆) your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield (挡风玻璃).
In psychology, we think about mental health on a spectrum (范围) from depression to flourishing (旺盛). Flourishing is the peak of well being. Depression is the valley of ill being. Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It's the emptiness between depression and flourishing—the absence of well being. You're not functioning at full capacity. Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and greatly increases the possibility that you'll cut back on work.
Part of the danger is that when you're languishing, you might not notice the dulling of delight or the decreasing of drive. You don't catch yourself slipping slowly into aloneness; you're indifferent to your indifference. When you can't see your own suffering, you don't seek help or even do much to help yourself.
So what can we do about it People who become more focused on their work manage to avoid languishing. Interrupted attention is an enemy of engagement and excellence. To go beyond languishing, give yourself some uninterrupted time. It clears out constant distractions (使人分心的事) and gives us the freedom to focus. And try starting with small wins by focusing on a challenge that matters to you—an interesting project, a worthwhile goal, or a meaningful conversation.
We still have a lot to learn about what causes languishing and how to cure it, but naming it might be a first step. It could help to defog our vision, giving us a clearer window into what has been an unclear experience. It could remind us that we weren't alone: languishing is common and shared.
By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing, we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the emptiness.
8．Which definition best suits the word “languishing”？
A．Feeling exhausted and without hope.
B．Becoming weaker or failing to improve.
C．Making someone want to achieve something.
D．Going beyond the usual limits of something.
9．Which of the following can be described as languishing
A.Seeking help when you are suffering.
B．Realizing that you are not alone in despair.
C．Giving yourself some uninterrupted time.
D．Being indifferent to your lack of enthusiasm.
10．What could psychologists do to help solve the problems of languishing
A．Give people more freedom. B．See it as depression.
C．Name it clearly. D．Remove it from a spectrum.
11．Why is it significant to know languishing is common and shared
A．We can let the silent despair speak up and find a way out.
B.We can continue to learn more about languishing.
C．We can see it as basically the same as depression.
D．We can study it as the complete opposite of flourishing.

[2022·海口市高考调研考试]When most of us think of sand, we immediately think of sunny beaches and summer holidays. But actually it's in pretty much everything that surrounds us in our everyday lives. From the walls of our homes to the glass bottles in our kitchens and even the mobile phones in our hands, sand is the second most used resource in the world after water: it accounts for more than two thirds of everything that's being dug out of the ground. But there isn't a limitless supply. In fact, a UN report says we might be running out.
According to the report, we use an estimated 15 billion tons of sand every year in the construction industry alone. That's enough to build a 20m×20m wall around the equator every year. However, sand can take tens of thousands of years to form: the process starts with rock being eroded (侵蚀) in the mountains and ends, eventually, with sand being in river beds and on the seafloor.
Sand is heavy and difficult to transport, so in developing countries, sand is often mined from the nearest convenient source, and quite often that means a river bed or beach. But beaches and rivers are delicately balanced ecosystems and when a large amount of sand is removed, the balance is upset. The smallest fish, which eat organic matters on the sand in river beds, is the base of the food chain in a river. If this sand is removed, so is the source of food for the__bottom__feeders. All organisms in a food chain share the joys and the sorrows. Thus, when they disappear, so does the food for the larger fish which would have been caught and eaten, or sold by fishermen.
It is high time we took into consideration the big problems concerning the tiny things. More and more conservationists are calling for alternatives to replace sand especially in the construction industry.
12．Why are the things in our daily life mentioned in the beginning
A．To show the uses of sand.
B．To indicate our relationship with nature.
C．To introduce our lifestyles.
D．To stress the convenience of modern life.
13．What does the UN report imply
A．Sand is actually our most used natural resource.
B．Sand is used more quickly than it's formed.
C．The construction industry doesn't use sand wisely.
D．The problem of washing sand is worsening.
14．What does the underlined phrase “the bottom feeders” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The river beds. B．The fishermen.
C．The larger fish. D．The smallest fish.
15．Which can be the best title for the text
A．The world is running out of sand
B．Alternatives to replace sand will be found soon
C．Sand mining is unfriendly to nature
D．Sand is in need of immediate conservation

[2022·南京市高三第三次模拟考试]An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. __16__ Here are some “old fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids.
Saying “thank you” to service workers
Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers. It's not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others' contributions as valuable. __17__
Taking turns talking
Teach your children to tap your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge them before speaking. If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it's rude to interrupt and let them know you'll acknowledge them shortly. __18__ Offer your children the same politeness and don't interrupt them when it's their turn to talk.
Using their indoor voices
__19__ A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema.
Covering a cough or sneeze
These days it's more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It's not just a matter of hygiene (卫生)—no one enjoys getting sprayed. __20__ Don't forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after.
A．Remember it goes both ways.
B．Consequently it makes others feel cared about.
C．Games are very important for children's good manners.
D．Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud.
E．Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.
F．It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.
G．Eventually it's about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.

[2022·合肥市第三次质量检测]Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid. He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis (合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes (基因), but Roberto's strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.
In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea's ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this__discovery to produce the human insulin (胰岛素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes (糖尿病) all over the world.
Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and had almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine (吗啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side effects.
Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science.

[2022·广州市普通高中综合测试]When the Chinese spacecraft (航天器) Chang'e 5 returned to the Earth on December 17, 2020, it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s: moon rock samples. This precious cargo, collected by Chang'e 5's robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on the Earth's near neighbour.
“The returned lunar samples will absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes，” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. “The rocks sent back by Chang'e 5 will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon's volcanic history lasts this long，” he says.
The Chang'e 5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.
The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang'e 1 and Chang'e 2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang'e 3 and Chang'e 4, the first Chinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang'e 5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to the Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang'e 6 will attempt a sample return mission from the moon's south pole—an area of intense scientific interest—given the large amount of water ice present.
The more advanced Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.
The long term aim of the Chang'e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.
8．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The moon's recent volcanic activities.
B．The significance of the moon rock samples.
C.New knowledge of the history of the moon.
D.Further studies of the returned lunar samples.
9．What distinguishes the mission of Chang'e 6 from that of Chang'e 5
A．The technology they use.
B.The time they spend on the moon.
C．The specific locations they explore.
D.The amount of material they bring back.
10．Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8 space missions are mainly intended to ________．
A.transport researchers to the moon station
B.build up an International Lunar Research Station
C.collect data necessary to guide moon landing spacecraft
D.find and test resources and means to support living on the moon
11．Which of the following best summarizes the Chang'e space program
A．A project to study the surface of the moon.
B．A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.
C．A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.
D．A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.

[2022·昆明市高三“三诊一模”]As digital devices (设备) have taken over society, “Keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for early handwriting，”a new study notes. The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.
“Some schools in Norway have become completely digital，” notes Audrey Van der Meer, the new study's leader, who measures brain activity to better understand learning and behaviors. She works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. The human brain has developed to interact with the world in as many ways as possible, she notes. She believes that young children should learn to write by hand successfully, and, at the same time learn to manage a keyboard.
Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard, her new findings show. This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity, “gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on，” she explains.
Think about it. The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboard. By comparison, when we write, our brain needs to think about and recover memories of the shape of each letter. We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes we're writing. And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to shape the different letters. All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.
Along the way, these processes appear to “open the brain up for learning”， says Van der Meer. So learning through only one format—digital—could be harmful, she worries.
Van der Meer also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates (激发)“visual notetaking”. Rather than typing blindly, the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be“interlinked by boxes, and arrows, and supplemented by small drawings”．
12．What is the main idea of the text
A.Digital devices are popular with students.
B.Handwriting beats typing in taking notes.
C.The process of taking notes changes thinking.
D.The new study makes contributions to science.
13．What should young kids do according to Van der Meer
A.Communicate with the world.
B.Rely on keyboard activity.
C.Learn to write by hand.
D.Master basic drawing skills.
14．How does the author draw the conclusion
A.By studying how the brain develops.
B.By observing social phenomena.
C.By assessing functions of senses.
D.By comparing ways of taking notes.
15．In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A．Relationship. B．Fashion.
C.Culture. D．Science.

Dear Lucy，
I'm sorry to learn that your mom read your journal and you felt annoyed. After all, it is up to you if to share what you write.
You'd better have an open discussion about how all of you feel. You should calmly tell her that you expect to have a certain amount privacy. If she feels the best of all way to know about you is to read your journal, and it means there is a lack of communication.
As we get old, we start to want more privacy, but this can lead to parents feel like they are left out of our world. You may as well understand what your mom does. I believe there must be the win win solution to making your mom feel she is still strongly connecting with you.
Yours，

[2022·石家庄市高三教学质量检测(二)]If you dream of a world where neighbors share with each other and you don't have to spend money at a store every time you need something, then your local Buy Nothing Group might be the perfect fit. This clever idea began in July 2013, when two friends, Rebecca Rockefeller and Liesl Clark, from Bainbridge Island, Washington, wanted to try something new. They liked the idea of developing a local gift economy as a way to challenge the consumerist mindset and reconnect neighbors. The Buy Nothing Project has grown rapidly since then, with 6，000 groups now in 44 countries.
The basic idea is that anyone can ask for what they need and anyone can give it. The official rules are simple: “Post anything you'd like to give away, lend, or share among neighbors. Ask for anything you'd like to receive for free or borrow. Keep it legal. No buying or selling, no trades, we're strictly a gift economy.”
All participants have equal standing. Gifts and requests can be large or small, items or services (though they must be legal). Lending and borrowing are allowed, too. Things must be given freely, with no expectation of a gift in return. There are no rules about how to post, though people are encouraged to share personal stories about themselves, their gifts and requests, as this helps to build community.
When asked why the Buy Nothing Project has been met with such enthusiasm, the founders suggest it's because of the human desire to feel connected with others around us. Besides, this is truly a great way to take a stand against over consumption, to clear out our homes, to save items from landfill and prolong their lifespan(寿命), and to keep valuable resources in the ground. The more sharing and reusing we can do, the better off we'll all be for both climate and human well being.
1．What has made the Buy Nothing Project grow rapidly
A．The need to build social ties.
B. The consumerist mindset.
C．The desire to boost local economy.
D. The strong sense of community.
2．Which of the following agrees with the rules
A．Sharing others' stories.
B．Asking for a gift in return.
C．Lending or borrowing legal items.
D．Trading with the neighbors.
3．What's the advantage of the project
A．It fuels local consumption.
B．It reduces the waste of resources.
C．It extends people's lifespan.
D．It changes the climate of the earth.
4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To promote the idea of recycling.
B．To introduce the Buy Nothing Project.
C．To tell stories about two environmentalists.
D．To persuade people to make friends in the community.

[2022·洛阳市第三次考试]More museums are showing multisensory art, which asks people to use more than one of the senses. Sometimes, art has a smell. Others have sounds. The artists are finding new ways for people to understand their works.
The Dorothy and Charles Mosesian Center for the Arts is in Watertown. Recently, the center created “Please Touch the Art”. The special show lets visitors touch the work. Aneleise Ruggles works at the Mosesian Center. She is in charge of the museum's shows. She says that “Please Touch the Art” rethinks meaning in art. The artist must go beyond sight. Forty artists created 52 pieces for the show. Ruggles explained that “Please Touch the Art” is not a show for blind people. Everyone can enjoy the show. Guests use all five senses. The show also takes people who are blind or have low vision into consideration. “Touchable art creates something people can share，” he said. “Touch is key to understanding the works.”
A group of guests with low vision visited “Please Touch the Art”. At first, they were nervous about touching the work. One man touched a raised blue painting. The work is Claudia Ravaschiere and Michael Moss's Whirl. Soft music followed his movements. By the end, the visitors were no longer shy. They wrapped each other in hanging cloth.
Shows like “Please Touch the Art” can change what we think of as fine art. Ruggles says the change will take time. The art world must find a new understanding of art. They also need a new way to talk about touchable art.

A．Anyone who is into art.
B．People with poor eyesight.
C．Anyone who understands art.

Baby Yoda Joins Oregon
Firefighters in Battling Wildfires
“Because of all these photos, people are now seeing the human faces behind the wildfires，” Tyler Eubanks excitedly told The Washington Post. “It is giving firefighters huge confidence which is something that's really needed right now.”
Sasha agrees, “It's a wonder how one small gesture can create a wave of kindness.” She says Carver is excited that everyone likes Baby Yoda and happy that the first responders—many of whom have been unable to see their families for weeks—have a “little friend” to give them comfort.
The toy, along with a note saying, “Thank you, firefighters. Here is a friend for you, in case you get lonely. Love, Carver，” was handed to volunteers on September 12th, 2020. The thoughtful gift brought tears to their eyes. “The fires were close to us, and everyone was really high on emotion，” says Tyler Eubanks. “We were all really touched that Carver wanted to give a companion to the people who were out there risking their lives to fight the wildfires.”
Eubanks delivered the toy to a group of firefighters working to contain the 25 acre flames in Colton, Oregon. She had originally intended to take a few pictures of the Baby Yoda in action for Carver, and then bring back the toy to the donation site. However, the firefighters decided to hold on to the doll and share it to lift the spirits of firefighters across the state.
“He's been a really big encouragement，” said Jaebyn Drake, a firefighter with the Oregon Air National Guard. “I showed the note and everything to a lot of the people on my crew, and they just loved it. A couple of people broke down in tears...It just really meant a lot to us, and it was really emotional for a lot of people.”

[2022·豫北名校联考高三上学期考试]How important is fish farming Very. Although it's an ancient business, the rise of aquaculture has been one of the biggest revolutions in food supply over the past half century.
Aquaculture has made fish more affordable for consumers around the world, popularizing the consumption of what used to be expensive, and easing the pressure on hard pressed wild stocks. Aquaculture also has many clear environmental benefits: compared with other ways of growing animal protein, it uses little or no land, and has low greenhouse emission. And while the world has traditionally had a bad record of regulating wild fishing, fish farming generally occurs within the boundaries of governments, meaning it should, in theory, be much easier to ensure that good practices are upheld.
Crowding large numbers of fish into limited spaces means that waste products, including waste, uneaten food and dead fish, are poured into the surrounding waters, polluting them. Besides, the pesticides and drugs used to treat conditions that upset fish in concentrated numbers can also affect local wildlife. Many farmed fish are fed on other fish, so the industry also puts pressure on wild stocks: about a fifth of all caught fish, some 18 million tonnes, are used for fish oil and fishmeal production. There is also the problem of fish escaping, with potentially dangerous effects on surrounding ecosystems.
In 2018 the Scottish Parliament's environment committee published a report on the fish farming industry's environmental effects, stating that key problems simply hadn't been tackled, and that the Scottish government's plan to double salmon output by 2030 could cause “irrecoverable damage” to ecosystems. Since then, protection has been toughened. There is now more pressure from regulators to situate farms in remote, deep water locations. Meanwhile, though, catches of Scottish wild salmon have fallen to their lowest level since records began in 1952. “There are good reasons for fish farming and real dangers to it as well，” concludes an official. “The question is how to make it work.”
8．How has fish farming benefited people
A．It has many clear environmental effects.
B．It can monitor the wild fish in limited areas.
C．It makes it easier for more people to consume fish.
D．It's easier for the government to make fish product.
9．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The reasons for fish farming.
B．The downside of aquaculture.
C．The development of sea exploring.
D．The effects on surrounding ecosystems.
10．What do we know about fish farming according to the Scottish report
A．The massive fish farming may damage ecosystems.
B．The problems of fish farming are likely to be solved.

[2022·济南市针对性训练]The production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions (排放). But as a consumer, it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat.
A Dublin based start up called Evocco could soon make it much easier. It lets users track and improve the climate impact of your food purchases. Users simply photograph their grocery receipts using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and using machine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type, weight and origin of a food against a database. The database is maintained by Eaternity, a life cycle assessment company based in Switzerland. If the receipt doesn't contain enough data about a product, it will give an estimate based on similar products and reference points.
The app is available for free on iOS and Android devices, which has been downloaded more than 1，000 times since its launch at the end of last year. As well as the personal shopping app, which Evocco hopes to launch in the United States by the end of this year, the company is developing a digital tool to sell to food storekeepers, e commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product's journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help storekeepers provide climate impact information directly to consumers, and more importantly, to give Evocco access to product data to improve its app.
The Evocco app is not the only app looking to reach this climate conscious market. There's Capture app, which estimates monthly CO2 emissions by asking users a series of questions about diet, transport and other factors, as well as Yayzy app and My Carbon Action app, which link to users' bank accounts, calculating their carbon footprints.
12．What is the Evocco app designed to do
A．Confirm the origin of food products.
B．Work out the climate effect of food.
C．Collect varieties of grocery receipts.
D．Monitor customers' shopping practices.
13．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The product. B．The receipt.
C．Evocco. D．Eaternity.
14．What do we know about the company Evocco from Paragraph 3
A．It profits a great deal from its app.
B．It has launched its app in America.
C．It is trying to get its app improved.
D．It prefers to sell its app to storekeepers.
15．What does the last paragraph imply
A．The Evocco app is still far from satisfactory.
B．Smart tools make tracking carbon footprints easier.
C．Present digital markets should be strictly restricted.
D．Environmental awareness boosts food industry rapidly.

[2022·广东七校高三第一次联考] It's been a common problem that most of popular kids' apps contain some form of marketing. App developers and platforms make more money when more advertisements are viewed or clicked. Children, with their weaker self control, are a prime target. Some developers use manipulative (善于操纵的) approaches like showing a fancy present, which takes the children to an advertisement when clicked. __1__ Don't worry. Here's how you can intervene.
Examine apps before downloading them. Your children can't download apps without you entering your password, so you can review apps before they are downloaded. __2__ People usually post complaints when apps are packed with advertisements.
Teach your kids to look for help. When advertisements pop up inside apps, make sure your kids don't play or download the advertised game immediately. __3__ In this way, they learn to identify strange advertisements and have the apps removed.
__4__ You may start with these questions: Do you ever get tricked by the app, like you think something is a present, but they just show you advertisements Do they ever force you to watch advertisements to get more fun things in the app
Make a complaint if necessary. Families are pressured into purchasing accounts by some school issued apps. If this happens to you, complain to your school district.
Raising kids in the Internet age means teaching them to distinguish from toys to misinformation when someone is trying to sell them new things or new ideas.__5__
A．Ask your children often.
B．Ask about your kid's preferences.
C．They have to understand the tricks of in app advertising.
D．With proper guidance, kids can grow up to be critical digital thinkers.

[2022·济南市高三模拟]The only thing better than receiving a book is getting one delivered by a horse. Caitlin Gooch, the founder of Saddle Up and Read (SUAR), literally saddles (给马备鞍) up one of her family's horses and visits primary schools, libraries and youth groups to encourage students to read. The nonprofit in Wendell, North Carolina, also organizes book drives and school wide reading competitions.
Along with her five brothers and sisters, Gooch grew up on a family farm owned by her father. Although he worked as a used car salesman, he built a race track on their 87 acre farm, where he hosted races. Gooch said she grew up around 80 horses and felt blessed to have grown up with them.
In 2017, Gooch, who had been working at daycare centers and youth groups, noticed that some of the younger children struggled to read. She decided to work with a local library: Any student who checked out more than three books would be entered into a prize draw. Five names would be selected out of the draw and each received a trip to visit the horses on the Gooch family farm.
It was a hit. Gooch expanded her services by creating her nonprofit, SUAR. When Gooch shared her organization's story on social media, it reached over 70，000 likes in a week. She even got a shout out from Oprah Winfrey, a famous talk show hostess. She's raised over $20，000 from supporters across the world. “Now that it's sort of, all eyes on me, there's definitely an opportunity to do something more，” Gooch said.
Gooch isn't just encouraging children to read more. She's also showing them that horseback riders can look like her. Online, she's often referred to as the “Black Cowgirl”. “It feels amazing to be that kind of representation，” Gooch said.
1．Why does Gooch deliver books on horseback
A．To deliver books quickly.
B．To promote family business.
C．To get students to read.
D．To advertise her organization.
2．What did Gooch do to help kids with reading difficulties
A．Hold reading competitions.
B．Work with the youth groups.
C．Donate books to a local library.
D．Organize visits to the family farm.
3．What can be learned about SUAR from Paragraph 4
A．It is well received.
B．It has made a big profit.
C．It needs further expansion.
D．It was criticized by Oprah.
4．What can best describe Gooch
A．Honest. B．Inspiring.
C．Brave. D．Patient.

[2022·成都市第三次诊断]New research added brain degradation such as Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默氏病) to the growing list of effects of fine particles (微粒). A study of 63 million adults older than 65 in the United States showed that from 2000 to 2016, first time hospital admissions for Alzheimer's disease and related diseases rose by 13 percent with every 5 microgram (per cubic meter of air) increase in annual concentrations of PM 2.5. Such particles are produced mainly during the burning of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil. The risk remained high even when concentrations were below 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air, a level the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency currently considers safe.
“Our study builds on the small but clear evidence indicating that long term PM 2.5 exposure is associated with an increased risk of worsening brain health, even when PM 2.5 concentrations are well below the current national standards，” said Xiao Wu, a doctoral student in Harvard.
Antonella Zanobetti, a co author of the study, said the new research results showed that the current U. S. regulations are inadequate to protect the aging American population, highlighting the need for stricter standards and policies that help further reduce PM 2.5 concentrations and improve air quality overall.
Women and urban populations, particularly those in the northeast, were particularly at risk, the research showed. The researchers figured that the increasing effects on urban populations might be due to the “abundance of metal bearing particles in the urban atmosphere, which have very small size and can access the brain directly”. They owed the increased risk to women to longer life, which meant the probability of death from other causes before developing Alzheimer's disease was higher in men.
5．What can we learn about the new research in Paragraph 1
A．It proved PM 2.5 was caused by fossil fuels.
B．It aimed at improving the elders' brain health.
C．It showed Alzheimer's disease was linked to air pollution.
D．It focused on the effect of PM 2.5 on the environment.
6．What is the researchers' attitude towards the current U. S. PM 2.5 national standards
A．Supportive. B．Disapproving.
C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.
7．Why do women have higher risk of brain health problems
A．Because they mainly live in cities.
B．Because they are in much worse condition.
C．Because they are affected by PM 2.5 more easily.
D．Because they live longer than men.
8．What's the purpose of the text
A．To present findings of new research.
B．To call on us to protect the environment.
C．To analyze various reasons for Alzheimer's disease.
D．To draw our attention to the elders' health.

[2022·合肥市质量检测]Anxiety and depression are complex conditions. Everyone can benefit from learning how to care about our mind.__1__
Self compassion (自我同情)
__2__ This can include feeling like you must be perfect to be accepted. The answer to perfectionism isn't letting it all go—it's self compassion, which means you are kind and understanding when faced with personal failures—after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect How we treat ourselves through the ups and downs of life can have a huge impact on physical health and mental health.
Social Connection
From the time we were born, we have been needing social connection in order to grow and succeed. __3__ It can be talking to one trusted person about how you're really doing or having a visit with any family member or friend. If this feels out of reach, try making a short list of people who at any point have given you a sense of belonging. __4__
Exercise
Exercise can be important for preventing depression since having a sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle is a risk factor. __5__ Another study found that 12 weeks of exercise at 30 minutes, three to five times per week reduced symptoms by 47%.

[2022·大连市高三双基测试卷]Looking back is a wonderful thing. It allows you to see what has led you here and, hopefully, how society has changed and improved.
Take, for instance, my career goal. First, I wanted, in 1999, to be a “farmer”， soon archaeologist, then driving instructor and somewhere along the way, footballer.
I had grown up in a football loving family. I remember the exact moment when I said “I'm sad I can't be a footballer” while watching the game with Dad as a pre teen. He asked why not. “Because I'm not a boy.” He immediately responded, “You can, if you want to.” “Yeah, I suppose so，” I sighed, “but no one watches women's football.”
Looking back, I can see exactly why I felt like that. At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys. I'd never seen a women's football match on TV. You see, you can't be what you can't see, and lack of representation leads, at best, to misunderstanding, and at worst, fear and negative opinions.
Today, the Lionesses took on Scotland in the World Cup, and people across the world tuned in. But, although women's football is one of FIFA's best investments, the majority of female players are earning under a fair wage. Some argue that that's because viewing statistics are lower than those of men's, but the rise in support shows the demand is there. Hopefully, more investment will push female football forward.
Today, I'll be cheering on the Lionesses, because it'll mean talented, skillful female footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she can also be a Lioness one day.
1．Which of the following best describes the author's career goals
A．Realistic. B．Changeable.
C．Consistent. D．Long sought.
2．Why didn't the author believe she could be a footballer
A．She was not talented enough.
B．People lost faith in women's football.
C．Girls were forbidden to play football.
D．She had no example to follow.
3．What can we know about women's football from Paragraph 5
A．It's better paid than men's.
B．It is increasingly popular.
C．It has no market demand.
D．It is not profitable.
4．What does the text mainly want to tell us
A．Society advances with time.
B．Women deserve equal rights.
C．Each goal is worth pursuing.
D．Hard work always pays off.

[2022·成都市高三摸底测试]With ageing population getting bigger and dementia (痴呆) more common, more families are struggling with a complex question: How do you support a loved one with dementia, especially when you have a full time job and several kids
Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue: ROBOTS.
He and his team managed to develop a new type of robots named TP robots. Looking like stand up vacuum cleaners attached to a tablet computer, they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is used on a desktop computer. All possess audio and visual communication capabilities, allowing the operator to be “in the room” to interact with Mom or Dad.
He believes that caregivers and family members can use a TP robot to “look in” on people with mild dementia. He says, “TP robots provide an effective solution for minimizing caregivers' burden, especially for those who have careers or other out of home activities.”
Urbanowski and his team have conducted a study that involves providing TP robots for 15 Manitoba families. These robots are programmed to provide reminders with necessary daily routine like turning off the gas, taking medicine and having dinner. They will also help ensure patients are getting the exercise they need to maintain their health and well being.
Erin Crawford, Program Director from the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, says she has faith that TP robots will prove to be beneficial, particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. “It means that family members that can't be there, for whatever reason, know that those things are still happening，” she says.
5．What can we infer about TP robots from Paragraph 3
A．It's easy to operate.
B．It can clean the room.
C．It's convenient to carry.
D．It can be used on a computer.
6．How will TP robots help those with dementia
A．By having dinner with them.
B．By turning off the gas for them.
C．By doing activities with them.
D．By reminding them to take pills.
7．What's Erin Crawford's attitude to the future of TP robots
A．Optimistic. B．Cautious.
C．Doubtful.　 D．Critical.
8．What is the main idea of the text
A．TP robots provide a new solution to dementia.
B．TP robots help to take care of dementia patients.
C．Caregivers of dementia will be replaced by TP robots.
D．Urbanowski and his team are developing a new robot.

[2022·潍坊市一模]Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests, such as analyses of their vocabulary size. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even cease cognitive (认知的) decline. __1__ Many Americans don't read frequently. It's time to reverse this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.
__2__ When you have some down time—you're waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn't require your full attention—you can open your text instead of pulling up your favorite smartphone game. __3__ While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn't proven that physical books are better than digital ones.
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on screen PDF. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks (有声读物), they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. __4__
Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn't dismiss paper, digital, or audio. __5__ Don't be afraid to change things up depending on the occasion.
A．Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B．Go with what makes the most sense for your needs.
C．Words on a page can improve the emotional intelligence.
D．This brings about a great debate: pages VS screens VS audio.
E．Keep a book, e reader, or audiobook App on you as you go about the day.
F．Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline.

[2022·洛阳市第三次统一考试]Have you ever loved a destination but couldn't figure out why—or even a way—to express your feelings That's my dilemma with Morocco.
In August, I traveled in a country that had long been on my wish list. I rode a camel, got lost in Medina, and ate a lot of couscous (蒸粗麦粉).
I loved the trip. Our friendly guide introduced us to the helpful locals. I made friends with my tour mates and my roommate (which, on a tour, is a huge blessing). I loved being lost in the smell of different spices, and the chaos of millions of people and the dark red of the Sahara were all I wanted them to be.
There were many moments when I felt like a fish out of water and things didn't go my way. But I take pleasure in those moments because it's when you are pushed out of your comfort zone that you grow. Morocco lived up to all my expectations, but for some reason, my experience has been hard to express. Why
One constant in my travels is that of a touchstone, one defining point where the trip all comes together and acts as a prism (三棱镜) for everything the journey represented. In Costa Rica, it was getting lost in a jungle. In Thailand, it was meeting those five people who changed my life.
I'm so inconsistent about Morocco because I lack that touchstone. There's no big “whoa” moment. But I have thousands of little ones—staring at a million stars in the blackness of the desert, discovering new foods with some amazing Australians on my tour, and befriending the fish sellers.
4．What does the author regard as a huge blessing
A.Going on a guided trip.
B.Having a helpful guide.
C.Being warmly received by the local people.
D.Getting along well with the fellow travelers.
5．What's the purpose of the fifth paragraph
A.To prove Morocco lacks the touchstone.
B.To show his reliance on the touchstone.
C.To compare Morocco with Costa Rica and Thailand.
D.To share his experience in Costa Rica and Thailand.
6．What made the author think the journey amazing
A.Lack of big moments.
B.The little “whoa” moments.
C.Meeting with five Thai people.
D.Making friends with Australians.
7．What does the author mainly talk about
A.Unpleasant travel in Morocco.
B.Finding a touchstone on travel.
C.Reflection on traveling in Morocco.
D.Lack of special moments in Morocco.

[2022·泉州市高三质量监测(一)]When I worked on the manufacturing shop (车间) floor, we rarely saw plant managers, except for one. He often walked through the plant. He checked out product quality. He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a “hello”. He wasn't outgoing. He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a “leader”. Yet we liked him.
In a study of University of Pittsburgh in 1992, researchers had four women attend a number of different classes. Their attendance varied: one woman might attend every class; a different woman might attend only a few. What didn't vary was their behavior. None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.
At the end of the term, students were asked which woman they liked best. Who “won”？ Women who attended the highest number of classes. According to the researchers, “Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity.” Or in non researcher words: If I see you frequently, I naturally like you more. That's the power of showing up.
Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters. In a 1967 University of Minnesota's study, researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups. When asked, the participants said they liked their future partner more. Even though the profiles were almost identical.
Want your team or your customers to like you more Show up. Drop in. Drop by. Send a brief note.Make a quick phone call. You don't have to say or do much. Then be consistent in your behavior. In time, people will expect you to drop in or drop by, whether in person or virtually. Anticipating future contact will make them like you more.
8．What does the first paragraph serve as
A.An introduction. B．A background.
C.A comment. D．An explanation.
9．According to the 1992 study, what helps make a student welcome
A.Answering questions frequently.
B.Greeting others enthusiastically.
C.Behaving more like others.
D.Attending classes more often.
10．What did the University of Minnesota's study find
A.Familiarity contributes to likability.
B.Identical behaviour enhances likability.
C.Future partnership increases likability.
D.Virtual contact benefits likability.

A.The power of likability.
B.Research on likability.
C.The definition of likability.
D.The application of likability.

[2022·惠州高三第一次调研考试试题]When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk—because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. As it turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) and this makes it like continuously driving up a very shallow hill.
Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M．I.T. and his team modeled how much energy could be saved—and how much greenhouse gases could be avoided—by simply stiffening (使变硬) the nation's roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation's roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades—enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emission savings into context—that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you'd spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground—or by growing seven billion trees—for a decade.
The results are in the Transportation Research Record.
As for how to stiffen roads Gregory says you could mix a small number of synthetic fibers or carbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you're talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That's just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting(翻新) our streets and highways—those__agencies__are__where__the__rubber__meets__the__road.
12．Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in Paragraph 1
A.To present a fact.
B.To make a contrast.
C.To explain a rule.
D.To share an experience.
13．What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions
A.Hardening the road.
B.Keeping oil in the ground.
C.Growing trees for decades.
D.Improving the transportation.
14．What is the advantage of this suggestion
A.Gaining more support.
B.Consuming less money.
C.Involving more people.
D.Facing fewer usual obstacles.
15．What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph
A.Those agencies are likely to make more rules.
B.Those agencies will change some related policies.
C.Those agencies might put more rubber tires on the roads.
D.Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.

Rules for Being the Age You Are
If you have recently entered that period of life known as middle age, the building years of your life will be over, and what you are now is pretty much what you are going to be. Soon it will be what you were. You can no longer tell yourself that you might move to Lisbon, learn Portuguese, and take up the guitar. __1__

__4__Nine times out of ten, you'll be bored and go home early. But the tenth time, you will have a worthy experience to meet an interesting person. It will make up for those other wasted hours.
Do that thing you want to do right now. I mean, literally, pause reading this column, pick up the phone, and book that skydiving session. RIGHT NOW. Don't put it off until you have the time to really relax and enjoy it. __5__It's highly possible that you won't be able to enjoy it.

C.Go home as late as possible.

[2022·广东七校联考]When you feel thankful for things you've received or something that has happened, that's gratitude. Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you see yourself in connection with things larger than yourself.
Last year, I felt compelled (强迫的) to bake cookies for complete strangers to say “thank you”. However, what occurred later changed my view about it. One day, I had to call 999 because I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and an ambulance arrived, filled with first responders who took my partner away to the nearest hospital, where he received the critical care he needed.
A week later, still impressed by the kindness of the strangers, I wrote thank you notes to those helpful first responders and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact...When I dropped off still warm cookies at the police and the fire station, they thanked me for delivering gifts. Thanking me All I'd done was baking, however, they'd saved a life.
I drove away feeling light and happy, partly because I'd done a good deed, but mostly because I was amazed that there are great people who do life saving work and expect nothing in return.
Later,__I__realized__that__my__natural__high__might__have__been__more__than__what__it__seemed. Sharing thoughts of gratitude and performing acts of kindness can boost your mood.

[2022·重庆高三质量抽测]There are breathing robots versed in “thousands of years of Buddhist breathing techniques” that claim to soothe you to sleep. Then there are weighted blankets that press around 10% of your body weight down as you take a nap. And there are apps, such as supermodel Natalia Vodianova's Loóna, designed to create a “sleepscape” by combining visual and aural storytelling with relaxation based activities such as colouring in. These are just some of the products at the heart of the “sleep aid revolution”．
Sleep occupies almost as much of the national conversation as weather—how much, when, how deep it is—and we are more than prepared to spend our money on more, and better, shut eye.
In the past 12 months, sales of sleep related products have soared. At John Lewis, silk pillowcase sales have increased by 533%. At weighted blankets company Mela, sales are up by 250%, while at Holland & Barrett sales of products in the sleep and relaxation category have grown by over 30% year on year. “Sleep” is the third most common unique search term for visitors to Neal's Yard Remedies' site.
But there are some dissenting voices. “The sleep aid industry steps in with claims that we're not sleeping because it's time for a new mattress, and offers us products to enable sleep，” says Darian Leader, author of Why Can't We Sleep “However，” he points out, “what we are seeing is a depoliticizing of sleep—ignore the socioeconomic burdens and internal pain that people face and see lack of sleep as a separate problem with a ‘separate solution’．”
The growing interest isn't limited to those suffering from diagnosable sleep issues—sleep has become a pillar of the wellness market and tracking it has become another symptom of the rise of the quantified self, a movement that sees people tracking their every step.
Sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley distrusts the market: “It is a trick to scare everybody because nobody's going to make any money if you just go around saying it's common sense, and you know how to sleep.”
While rebutting any scientific evidence for many of the products, he admits that anything—a silk pillowcase, camomile tea, yoga or listening to Pink Floyd really loudly—could, in theory, help.
But, he says, many are overlooking the simple things. “You need three things for a good night's sleep: a bedroom that's comfortable, a relaxed body and a quiet mind...you need to make space in your life for sleep.”
8．What does the underlined word “dissenting” probably mean
A．Approving. B．Opposed.
C．Indifferent. D．Pessimistic.
9．What message does Darian Leader intend to convey in Paragraph 4
A．A sleep problem is mainly caused by lack of a good mattress.
B．Social and psychological factors should be taken into account.
C．Social and psychological factors are more important than the physical setting.
D．Manufacturers trick people into buying those sleep related products.
10．What can we infer from the passage
A．Sleep related products meet a mixed reception among customers.
B．Only people with sleep problems need sleep related products.
C．There is a trend that more people monitor their sleep situation.
D．Darian and Dr. Neil hold contradictory opinions towards sleep related products.
11．Why does Dr. Neil Stanley say the words in the last paragraph
A．To give a warning.
B．To provide a comment.
C．To express a concern.
D．To make a suggestion.

[2021·普通高等学校招生全国统一考试]The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too.
Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws (爪).
As the researchers report in Animal Behaviour, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears' distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.
Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.
It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill develops because they cannot count on their friends for help.
12．What task did the scientists set for the three bears
A．Distinguishing different dot patterns.
B．Figuring out different colours of dots.
C．Putting the dots into differently coloured groups.
D．Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.
13．For the bears, the task was easier when ________．
A．the coloured dots were moving slowly
B．the dot patterns were regular in shape
C．the dots followed a path on the screen
D．more dots covered a larger coloured area
14．What may explain the bears' high degree of intelligence
A．They learn skills from other animals.
B．They face life challenges on their own.
C．They feed on a diverse range of food.
D．They have complex social networks.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours
B．New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Was Found
C．Three Bears Learned How to Count
D．The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus

[2022·南昌市高三摸底测试卷]Chase Poust is a 7 year old boy. He and his dad Steven, and his 4 year old sister, Abigail, were out for a family boating trip on Florida's St. Johns River near Mandarin Point. Chase and Abigail were swimming at the back end of the anchored boat while Steven was on deck (甲板) fishing.
It was an idyllic (平和美丽的) outing—until a strong wave came. It was too strong for Abigail to hold onto the boat. Instantly realizing his sister would be swept away, Chase let go of the boat as well to try to reach her.
Steven jumped into the water but after realizing he couldn't keep up with both kids, he was faced with a hard decision. “I told them I loved them because I wasn't sure what was going to happen，” Steven told News4JAX. “I tried to stick with both of them. I wore myself out. She drifted away from me.”
Directing Chase to swim to shore for help, Steven stayed behind, keeping as close as he could to Abigail as the life vest that was keeping her above the waves floating further and further from his reach.
It was a tough go for the 7 year old, but rather than attempting to swim all out, Chase wisely paced himself. Stopping to float or dog paddle when he was tired, he had a rest and then set off again. It took Chase an hour to reach the shore. Once on the solid ground, he ran to the nearest house and called for help.
Rescuers arrived soon to search for Steven and Abigail. Miraculously, the two were found and rescued about an hour later—more than a mile away from the family's abandoned boat.

A．He couldn't stick with both kids.
B．He didn't know how to swim.
C．He couldn't find rescuers nearby.
D．He wasn't sure what might happen.

A．To hold Abigail tightly.
B．To look for helpers.
C．To wait calmly in the water.

[2022·武汉部分学校高三质量检测]A year of lockdown has brought about some questionable fashion trends. In U．S. suburbs, bathrobes and slippers are now socially acceptable clothing for a trip to the grocery store.
Ugly shoes are also having a moment. Crocs, the maker of plastic clogs (木屐) now with a market value of $5.3 billion, had a record in 2020. The distinctive shoes ，with their punch (打孔机) hole design, have long been popular with hospital staff. During the COVID 19 outbreak, they have become a sought after item for those looking for something easy to wear and clean.
The company sold more than 69 million pairs of shoes in 2020 and pulled in nearly $1.4 billion, a 13% jump from 2019. The share price, up 650 per cent from its pandemic low, has set repeated new highs this year.
Birkenstock Group B．V. & Co. KG is another brand riding high on the shift to a more casual lifestyle. The German group recently sold itself to a LVMH backed group in a $4 billion deal.
The two brands' popularity shows no sign of fading. Poshmark, a second hand clothing app, said Crocs and Birkenstock Group B．V. & Co. KG remained top trendy brands on its site in March. Sales are up sharply for both compared with the year ago period. Cooperation with celebrities should help maintain the trend.
The same cannot be said for dress shoes, which were already going out of fashion. The closure of the office and fewer special occasions such as weddings and graduations have accelerated the trend. Sales for the category plummeted last year, according to The NPD Group. These accounted for only 8% of total fashion footwear dollar sales in 2020, compared with 17% in 2017.
People will soon reach again for going out clothes, more formal than pyjamas. But the market for dress shoes will never recover entirely. The ugly shoe movement is here to stay.
5．What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Increased sharply.
B．Increased slightly.
C．Decreased sharply.
D．Decreased slightly.
6．What's the author's opinion about the prospect of ugly shoes
A．Uncertain. B．Pessimistic.
C．Cautious. D．Confident.
7．What can be the best title of this passage
A．Crocs Gives Dress Shoes a Kicking
B．Casual Clothes Are Making a Comeback
C．Punch Hole Design Becomes a Trend
D．Dress Shoes Are Falling out of Fashion
8．What's the purpose of this passage
A．To recommend new shoes.
B．To present a new tendency.
C．To change people's lifestyle.
D．To question a fashion trend.

[2022·济南外国语模拟]Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884－1962) was an Austrian American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist (人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.
In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China's southwestern provinces—the Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren't his task: Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three year expedition, he collected 20，000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum (阿诺德植物园).
Botany, though, was just one of Rock's strengths. As an ethnologist (民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan Province, recording their now lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500 page dictionary of their language. His hand drawn map of his travels through China's “Cho Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U．S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War Ⅱ.
Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord's place “as if he owned the place，” said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretum's head librarian.
In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World”， the Boston Evening transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies，he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”
The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about $ 900，000 in today's dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.
1．What is the passage mainly about
A．Rock's service for the U．S government.
B．Rock's cooperation with Harvard.
C．Rock's work as a botanist.
D．Rock's exploration in Southwest China.
2．What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens
A．He travelled through some uncivilized places in China.
B．His hand drawn map was used in WW Ⅱ.
C．He showed heroism by escaping difficulties.
D．He made headlines in Boston Evening News.
3．How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds
A．Excitedly. B．Proudly.
C．Calmly. D．Nervously.
4．What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum
A．The vast expense.
B．The dangerous journey.
C．The challenging tasks.
D．The unknown world.

[2022·江西六校联考]It is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon rainforest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长目动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn't have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.
Friendships, like all relationships between two people, involve competition. It isn't competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition—the simultaneous (同时的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light—better explains it.
As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin's theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There are lots of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student's fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.
Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. Healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.
5．What does the ecological definition mainly explain
A．How to win the competition.
B．What competition exactly is.
C．What the result of competition is.
D．How friends compete with each other.
6．According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete
A．They know the laws of nature well.
B．A friendship is a burden for them.
C．The number of them is too large.
D．They are divided into different groups.
7．Which best describes the relationship of the friendship and competition
A．The friendship is always based on competition.
B．Competition is a result of a lost friendship.
C．Competition is terribly harmful to friendships.
D．The degree of competition is vital to friendships.
8．What does the author think of “competition”？
A．Competition is certain to happen at school.
B．The result of competition is out of control.
C．Competition becomes fierce in high school.
D．The friendship is not as important as competition at school.

[2022·南昌市一模]Cecilia Chiang, whose San Francisco restaurant, The Mandarin, introduced American diners in the 1960s to the richness and variety of authentic Chinese cuisine, died on Wednesday at her home in San Francisco.
Ms.Chiang was not a chef, nor was she a likely candidate to run a restaurant. She was born near Shanghai in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family. After her parents died, Cecilia managed the businesses' finances while still in her teens.
Ms.Chiang came to the United States from China to flee the Japanese during World War Ⅱ， traveling nearly 700 miles on foot. Once in San Francisco, she met two Chinese acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms.Chiang agreed to put up large funds. But when the two women quit, Ms.Chiang found to her horror that the funds were not refundable (可退还的). She took a deep breath and decided to open the restaurant herself. “I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with—the delicious food of China—maybe my little restaurant would succeed，” she wrote in her book.
The Mandarin, which was opened in 1962 as a 65 seat restaurant, introduced customers to mainly Sichuan, Shanghai and Canton dishes. The early days were difficult. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans, came regularly. Overnight the tables were filled and the restaurant became a huge success.
Ms.Chiang continued to work as a restaurant consultant into her 90s. “I think I changed what average people know about Chinese food，” Ms.Chiang wrote. “They didn't know China was such a big country.”
4．When did Ms.Chiang start to manage the businesses' finances
A．In the 1920s.
B．In the 1930s.
C．In the 1950s.
D．In the 1960s.
5．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about

D．Why Ms.Chiang opened her restaurant.
6．What do we know about The Mandarin
A．It survived the early hardships.
B．It provided all kinds of Chinese dishes.
C．It could seat less than 60 people at first.
D．It attracted many Americans once opened.
7．Which of the following can best describe Ms.Chiang

[2022·安徽省名校联盟质量检测]The use of social media has been linked to mental health problems in teenagers. But a new study from England argues that the issue may be more complex than experts think.
The new research interviewed 10，000 teenagers, who reported the frequency they used social media. The frequency of more than three times a day was considered “very frequent”. But the researchers, for the first time, went a step further to investigate what kind of websites made the teenagers frequenters. They found that, in both sexes, very frequent visits to social media with negative (负面的) contents were associated with greater mental depression and anxiety.
“Our results suggest social media itself doesn't cause harm, but that frequent use may disrupt (使中断) activities that positively influence mental health such as sleeping and exercising, while increasing exposure of young people to harmful contents，” said Russell Viner, the co author of the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.
It's an important discovery. Just last month, research from Canada showed that higher level of the use of social media was linked with increased mental depression in adolescents.
With this study, the problem is put in a better context. It's not necessarily social media that are causing these issues. It's more likely the contents that young people are exposed to and their hindrance (妨碍) of healthy sleep and exercise.
Bob Patton, a lecturer at the University of Surrey, said this means that remedies focusing only on reducing the use of social media to improve mental health might not help. “Finding ways to improve the online contents and promote better sleep and exercise is needed to reduce physical and psychological harm，” said he.
“If healthy lifestyles can be kept, the positive effects of the use of social media, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more supported，” said Ann DeSmet, an assistant professor at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
8．How does the new research differ from the previous studies
A．By carrying out detailed interviews.
B．By focusing on both girls and boys.
C．By analyzing the social media contents.
D．By studying a larger number of teenagers.
9．What did Russell Viner say about social media
A．It didn't cause any mental problems in teenagers.
B．Its abuse may negatively change the healthy lifestyle.
C．Its harmful contents should be reduced immediately.
D．It encouraged social interactions among adolescents.
10．Which of the following best explains “remedies” underlined in Paragraph 6
A．Measures.
B．Effects.
C．Experiments.
D．Differences.
11．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To prove the harmful effects of social media.
B．To show the proper way to use social media.
C．To present related studies and discoveries.
D．To introduce an important new discovery.

[2022·重庆市高三第三次质量调研抽测]The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 species of sea animals may mistake it for a tasty snack. While we know that some species seem to eat plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources, less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to marine animals.
But now, a study from the University of North Carolina has found that the coating of algae that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the scent of food.
The researchers took 15 loggerhead turtles, each around five months old, and placed them in a laboratory tank. They then piped in clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been immersed in the marine environment for five weeks.
The turtles showed no reaction to the smell of clean water or clean plastic. But when they were exposed to the smell of ocean soaked plastic or turtle food, they exhibited food seeking behaviors like reaching their noses out of the water or showing increasing activities.
“This finding is the first demonstration that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them，” said Dr.Kenneth J．Lohmann, who took part in the study. “It's common to find loggerhead turtles with their digestive systems fully or partially blocked because they've eaten plastic materials. There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stranded on the beach due to their ingestion of plastic.”
According to the researchers, areas of the ocean with dense concentrations of plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there is an abundant food source. “Once these plastics are in the ocean, we don't have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food，” said Lohmann.
12．Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to marine animals
A．It may eat up all jellyfish.
B．It may mislead them as food.
C．It may kill them with its smell.
D．It may trap 700 species of sea animals.
13．What may attract the loggerhead turtles in the laboratory tank to search for food
A．Sea water.
B．Clear water.
C．Brand new plastic.
D．Sea soaked plastic.
14．What can be inferred from Lohmann's words in the last paragraph
A．Turtles should be trained to be more intelligent.
B．Plastics should be kept from getting into the ocean.
C．An abundant food source should be offered to sea animals.
D．Researchers should come up with a solution to the current problem.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Ways Found to Remove Plastics
B．Loggerhead Turtles Faced with Food Shortage
C．Ocean Plastics—Trick or Treat
D．Plastic Pollution—Compromise or Control

[2022·西安高三第一学期自主复习检测试题]In general, the riches of the natural world aren't spread evenly across the globe. Places like the Tropical Andes in South America are simply packed with unique species, many of which can't be found in any other places. Until recently, the main explanation for the biological riches concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that such places must be engines of biodiversity, with new species evolving at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head, instead supporting the idea that areas with fewer species actually tend to produce new species faster.
The researchers say these biodiversity “cold spots” are generally found in environments featuring freezing, dry and unstable conditions. Though the researchers found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they fail to accumulate many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out.
The more well known “hot spots”， by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms. “New species do form in places like the Amazon, just not as frequently as in the dry grasslands in the Andes，” says Elizabeth, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tennessee.
The researchers managed to collect 1，940 samples representing 1，287 of the 1，306 bird species from South America. Their analysis showed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Species rich areas tended to produce new species more slowly.
“Maybe bad environments generate new species more frequently because there's less competition and more available opportunities for new species，” says Gustavo Bravo, a lead researcher.
The study's findings add new urgency to protect ecosystems that may look barren,__but may actually be nature's hothouses for the evolution of new species.
4．Why is South America mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To make a comparison. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To explain a fact. D．To draw a conclusion.
5．What determines the rising rate of new species in a place
A．The number of its then species. B．The environment they lived in.
C．The survival skills of species. D．The different biological factors.
6．Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “barren” in the last paragraph
A．Dry and bare. B．Lively and active.
C．Nice and green. D．Complex and unpredictable.
7．What might be the best title for the text
A．Tropical areas are home to large numbers of species
B．New species prefer to live in the extreme climate
C．Harsh environments pose a greater threat to species
D．The worse ecosystem may give birth to new species faster

[2022·豫北名校联考高三上学期定位考试]That youngsters were glued to online games on their smart phones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena, a school teacher in Nirjuli. The 30 year old social science teacher, who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. “The graph of student performance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets—basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence of any cohesive (连贯的) expression. They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero，” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, where passers by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographies and novels as well as comics for young children. “I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read, but that is okay，” she laughed.
Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner. Within two months, her effort became the talk of the town.

[2022·沈阳市高三教学质量监测(三)]Constantly forcing knowledge and experiences into your brain may seem like the quickest path to self improvement. But sometimes the best thing you can do for your brain is absolutely nothing at all.
Paying less attention to surroundings—whether by showering, pulling weeds, or petting a dog—provides an opportunity for what psychologists call wakeful rest. It's a time when you can put immediate tasks aside like how to meet the work deadline and instead focus on current feelings, reflect on the past, and think about the future.
In the blankness, MRI (核磁共振成像) brain imaging shows a harmony of gray matter called the default mode network (默认模式网络) takes control. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) still don't completely understand how this system works, but they think it connects harmonious parts of our brains, which can help us find meaning in our messy lives. “This blankness might also reduce anxiety, boost creativity, and improve memory，” says Mary Helen Immordino Yang, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California's Brain and Creativity Institute.
The trouble is, the battle of life leaves little room to let your mind wander. Many spend their free time consuming entertainment. It may feel relaxing but requires brainpower to enjoy. Fortunately, there are ways to encourage your resting state network to take over：
FIND YOUR JOY
Casual hobbies that are totally different from your day job can help prevent out of office anxiety.
GET AWAY
New surroundings give your brain a break from environmental cues, like the sight of your desk and laptop that tell it to work.
SWITCH OFF
Information can be too attractive to ignore. Turning off any and all devices helps maintain relaxation mode.
12．What is “wakeful rest” according to the psychologists in the text
A．It is a time to pay less attention to surroundings.
B．It is a system to take control.
C．It is a state to concentrate.
D．It is an opportunity to work.
13．In what aspect can this blankness benefit us
A．Promoting creativity. B．Managing moods.
C．Removing anxiety. D．Controlling brains.
14．Which activity does the author suggest to a stressful software engineer
A．Working on his desk in a new office. B．Playing his favorite computer games.
C．Doing some gardening in the backyard. D．Developing a software with colleagues.
15．Where can we probably read the text
A．A book review. B．A science journal. C．A guide book. D．A film poster.

[2022·豫北名校联考高三上学期定位考试]Are people less or more happy when they get older A study in 2018 found that people generally became happier and experienced less worry after the age of 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people were happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.__16__．
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70's. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70's and 80's. The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grew older. __17__
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well being related to age.
__18__ One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
__19__ In another study, people in their 80's reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. __20__ But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A．So why will happiness increase with age
B．Researchers surveyed more than 150，000 American adults.
C．At that time, the people were between the age of 18 and 25.
D．Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50's.
E．Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F．The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.
G．However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

[2022·沈阳市高三统考]In a lot of other states in America, warm sunny days mean lazy afternoons are spent on the beach. In Oregon, people pack hiking shoes with their bathing suits. Here are 3 incredible hikes for you.
Cascade Head Preserve
Distance: 6.8 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Nearest Town: Lincoln City
Managed by the international nonprofit The Nature Conservancy, the Cascade Head Preserve is an excellent hike that typically marks the division between the north and central Oregon coast. There are upper and lower trailheads (小道的起点), with about 3.4 miles of trails between the two.
Cape Lookout
Distance: 5 miles
Difficulty: Easy
Nearest Town: Tillamook
Of all the capes (岬) on the Oregon coast, Cape Lookout might be the most famous, projecting 1.5 miles into the ocean.

Separate trails lead down to South Beach and the Campground.
Clatsop Loop Hike

[2022·贵阳市学期监测]After six decades, the animated (动画的) movie Uproar in Heaven is still considered among the best in Chinese film history. Adapted from household classic novel Journey to the West in the 1960s, the movie, featuring the Monkey King fighting with the Jade Emperor and his officials, has made the heroic character one of the most widely recognized characters in Chinese culture.
Seldom known, however, was the late graphic(绘画的) designer of the cartoon, Zhang Guangyu(1900～1965), whose work has influenced many well known artists, including the late Ye Qianyu (1907～1995), Huang Yongyu and Han Meilin.
In honor of the 120th anniversary of Zhang's birth, a collection of his major works, including Minjian Qingge (Folk Love Poems) and Xiyou Manji (Comics on Journey to the West) has been published. There is also a group of memoirs from Zhang's artist friends and oldest son.
When designing the cartoon characters for Uproar in Heaven, Zhang borrowed styles from traditional Chinese sculpture, painted murals, woodcuts, paper cuts and shadow puppetry. He also highlighted different personal traits of the characters, such as the Monkey King's innocence, integrity, courage and wisdom and the fatuity(昏庸)of the Jade Emperor, according to Li Keruo, one of the film's screenwriters.
Moreover, Zhang's characters act vividly, showing the impact of posture, movement, costume and atmosphere coming from Peking Opera. The settings in the cartoon, such as the palace, lake, peach garden and the famous Huaguo Mountain and Shuilian Cave belonging to the monkeys, were inspired by Buddhist and Taoist architecture.
Zhang became interested in watching Peking Opera performers paint their faces backstage in his childhood. The makeup serves as an indicator of the characters' personalities.
4．What does the underlined word “late” in the second paragraph mean
A．Guilty. B．Dead. C．Innocent. D．Famous.
5．Why was the collection of Zhang Guangyu's works published
A．To perform a play. B．To honor him.
C．To shoot a film. D．To earn money.
6．What were Zhang's characters mainly inspired by
A．The memoirs. B．Taoist architecture.
C．Huaguo Mountain. D．Peking Opera.
7．What is the text mainly about
A．A few famous Chinese artists.
B．Some famous animated films.
C．Zhang Guangyu and his works.
D．A new style of art in China.

[2022·成都市高三摸底测试]As a popular subject of study among evolutionary ecologists, the three spined stickleback (三刺鱼) is known for their different shapes, sizes, and behaviours—they can even live in both sea water and fresh water, and under a wide range of temperatures. But what makes that
The researchers tracked six populations of the fish before and after seasonal changes to their environment, using genome sequencing (基因组测序). Seasonal changes result in great changes in habitat structure and balance of salt and fresh water, and only those fish able to tolerate these rapid changes survive into the next season.
“These changes probably resemble the habitat shifts experienced by stickleback populations during the past 10，000 years，” says Professor Barrett. “We hope to gain insight into the genetic changes that may have resulted from natural selection long in the past.”
Remarkably, the researchers discovered the evidence of genetic changes driven by the seasonal shifts in habitats, which mirrored the differences found between long established freshwater and saltwater populations. “These genetic changes occurred in independent populations over a single season, highlighting just how quickly the effects of natural selection can be detected，” says Professor Barrett, “the findings suggest that we may be able to use the genetic differences to predict how populations may adapt to the environment.”
The research emphasizes the importance of studying species in dynamic environments to gain a better understanding of how natural selection operates. In the further research, they plan to investigate how repeatable the observed genetic changes are, by testing whether they show up year after year. Doing so would demonstrate their ability to reliably forecast the evolutionary future of these populations.
8．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1
A．The three spined stickleback is under a wide range of temperatures.
B．The three spined stickleback is popular with evolutionary ecologists.
C．The three spined stickleback can adapt to different living conditions.
D．The three spined stickleback has different shapes, sizes, and behaviours.
9．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The difficulties of the research.
B．The purpose of the research.
C．The background of the research.
D．The methods of the research.
10．What is the main reason for the three spined stickleback's survival
A．Habitat shifts.
B．Genetic changes.
C．Seasonal changes.
D．Independent populations.
11．Why will scientists study the repetition of the genetic changes
A．To know what natural selection is.
B．To study species in dynamic environments.
C．To test the reliability of the present discoveries.
D．To forecast the evolutionary future of certain species.

[2022·T8八校高三第一次联考]Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the ideal place that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean (毕达哥拉斯的) power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people being a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery (嘲弄) of what human life should be. I long to alleviate (减轻) the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered to me.
12．Which would be the best title of the essay
A．The suffering of life.
B．The truth about love.
C．The forces driving me.
D．The power of knowledge.
13．What does the author compare his life's passions to
A．The shining stars.
B．Great winds.
C．A bottomless abyss.
D．A boundless ocean.
14．Which is NOT a reason why the author has sought love
A．It relieves loneliness.
B．It brings ecstasy.
C．It provides a glimpse of the ideal place.
D．It leads to a marriage.
15．What would the author most probably agree with
A．He regrets that he could not free himself of pity.
B．Human love is ultimately disappointing.
C．The ideal place is merely a poetic invention.
D．A loving person naturally wants to relieve the suffering of others.

[2022·青岛市期末考试]I did an experiment last week. No, nothing involving test tubes or beakers (烧杯). Instead, I experimented with not watching the news right before I went to bed.
This is a long time habit of mine so it's probably not surprising that the first couple of nights I got a little twitchy when news time rolled around and I wasn't watching. To distract myself, I went to bed a little earlier and read. Wow, what a treat that was! I love to read but I don't always make the time for it so this felt quite luxurious. On the nights I didn't read, I spent a little extra time petting my dog, Henry. He loved it. There's never enough ear scratching for him. The compromise nights were when I had a book in one hand and was petting the dog with the other. Happy all around!
The funny thing about happiness is that it's a whole lot easier to feel when you're not being bombarded (轰炸) by images of bad news. It's not like skipping the late news means that I don't know what's going on in the world. I still do read, listen to, and watch news stories. Just not right before I go to bed. That makes it easier to fall asleep and then stay asleep without dreaming about crime, wars, or natural disasters. (Although that dream I had about going to the prom might count as a natural disaster！) It's definitely a much gentler way to end the day. I like it so much that I'm going to not only continue the no news before bed practice, but I'm also going to experiment with turning off other electronics earlier in the evening, things like the computer and smartphone.
Do you have any experience with turning off your electronics early in the evening Does setting a particular time, like digital Quiet Hours, work Please share any tips you have. Something tells me that this could be a little more challenging for me than no news.
1．What does the underlined word “twitchy” mean
A．Angry. B．Sad.
C．Anxious. D．Pleased.
2．What did the author do to distract himself from watching news
A．To treat himself with snacks.
B．To read to his dog.
C．To turn off the TV.
D．To read in bed.
3．What's the result of the author's experiment
A．He had more time to walk his dog.
B．He was less exposed to images of bad news.
C．He was cut off from the current world.
D．He had nightmares.
4．What does the author intend to do by writing the text
A．To encourage the readers to cut down time on electronics.
B．To gather the readers' advice in watching TV.
C．To share the effect of watching news.
D．To tell the readers the importance of reading.

[2022·西安五校高三联考]Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they'll probably take you back to their grandmothers' dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don't seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it's far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up.
However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
5．Why do people pay less attention to the Sunday roast nowadays
A．They have a busy lifestyle.
B．They have no interest in cooking.
C．They don't think it worthwhile.
D．They are living in the modern society.
6．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A．A recent article.
B．The fine old tradition.

[2022·绵阳市第二次诊断]How does a brilliant teacher get that way The question of how they developed has as many answers as there are inspired instructors. One example is an original and charming woman who has become one of the best ever at taking disadvantaged students to a new level.
Jackson was born in Altoona. Her father was a construction worker. When she was in the eighth grade, her father died. Her principal, Mrs. Brown, said not to worry about schoolwork for a while. That upset her. Her father would not have wanted her to do anything but her best. He always said, “Don't let your first failure be the reason for your next.”
Jackson was an accomplished shooting guard in basketball and a star sprinter on the track team, running the quarter mile in 57 seconds. She thought she might become a sports broadcaster. She gave no thought to teaching until a friend took her to an introduction to a program, which placed novice instructors in schools full of low income children. Jackson liked the idea of giving back, as well as the chance to have some of her student loans forgiven.
She is a big sports person, and that is how she connects with lots of kids. She couldn't motivate children until she knew what was bothering or pleasing them. “Students learn from people who love them，” she said. “They will be motivated and inspired to learn if they know deep down that you care about them.” In class she gave basketball tickets to students who were doing their work. At weekly drawings they could win sticky notes, pencils or other small prizes.
She helped create after school clubs. A tall student said to her, “I'm a baller. I heard you play ball.” There was a basketball league in Paterson, but the school didn't have a team. Jackson started one with support from local business executives. The student, Essence Carson, went to Rutgers University, was a first round draft (运动员选拔制) selection for the WNBA's New York Liberty and now plays for the Connecticut Sun.
4．Why did Mrs. Brown's words upset Jackson
A．Her father just passed away. B．She was taught to do her best.
C．Her first failure led to another one. D．She was concerned about her grades.
5．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．The way Jackson turned teacher. B．The dream job Jackson desired.
C．The student loans Jackson owed. D．The athletics Jackson did well in.
6．why did Jackson give small prizes to her students in class
A．To connect with them. B．To please or bother them.
C．To encourage them to learn. D．To show her love to them.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Jackson founded a school team in Paterson alone.
B．Jackson played in the basketball league in Paterson.
C．Jackson selected Essence to play for WNBA's New York Liberty.
D．Jackson should take some credit for Essence's professional career.

[2022·武汉市高三五月供题]Russell Warne has spent many hours examining college psychology textbooks. As a professor of psychology at Utah Valley University, he wasn't looking for insight, but for mistakes—and he found plenty. Some of the worst concerned IQ tests.“The most common inaccuracy I found, by far, was the claim that intelligence tests are biased__against certain groups，” he says. Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests are fair and not culturally biased.“Another very common one was the idea that intelligence is difficult to measure.”
No wonder IQ tests often cause disagreements. But that simply isn't the case.“Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the most reliable tests ever invented，” says Rex Jung at the University of New Mexico. Nevertheless, you shouldn't trust the kind of 10 minute test that might pop up in your social media feed.
A comprehensive IQ test takes over an hour and is ideally administered by a professional examiner. It is designed to assess precisely those cognitive (认知的) skills that constitute intelligence, so it consists of a series of subtests that cover reasoning, mental processing speed, spatial (空间的) ability and more. Shorter IQ tests, assessing fewer of these skills, can still provide a general indication of someone's mental abilities, however, because of the nature of intelligence, it means that someone who scores highly on one type of cognitive test will also do comparatively well on others.
However, particular applications of IQ tests have faced a thorough inspection. A common criticism of using them to select job applicants is that they only measure certain cognitive skills. They don't scientifically measure creativity, for instance. Neither do they measure personality, which tends to make for reliable and hard working employees—or ability to get on with other people. However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too and a practical exercise to assess job related skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.
8．What does the underlined words “biased against” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Unfamiliar to. B．Irrelevant to.
C．Unfavorable for. D．Irresponsible for.
9．What does Rex Jung think of the intelligence tests
A．They are inaccurate. B．They are trustworthy.
C．They are properly used. D．They are precisely designed.
10．What can we infer about IQ tests in the last paragraph
A．They are rarely accepted. B．They are heavily criticized.
C．They may still be employed. D．They can motivate creativity.
11．What can be the best title of the passage
A．Do IQ tests really work B．Applications of IQ tests.
C．Misinformation in textbooks. D．Can IQ tests shape personality
D
Scientists say they've developed a system using machine for learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. The research was led by engineers from the cole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated that between 6，000 and 24，000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. In the United States and other places, ground based sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen. But, no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12 year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method. He said，“Current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”
“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station，” Mostajabi said.“This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellites or in places where communication systems have been cut，” he added.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod Project.
12．Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lightning
A．To collect relative data.
B．To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.
C．To create a scientific system.
D．To do research in relation to machine learning.
13．The four mentioned surface conditions include all of the following EXCEPT ________．
A．air pollution B．wind speed
C．relative humidity D．air temperature
14．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A．Lightning. B．The system being tested.
C．The atmospheric data. D．The machine learning algorithm.
15．What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage
A．He developed the method and the system by himself.
B．He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.
C．He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
D．He believes their system does much better in data collection.

[2022·甘肃省第二次高考诊断]Sharks are amazing creatures. They are known as the deadliest hunters in the sea. Fortunately most are not, but there are some kinds of sharks that can be extremely dangerous. Look at these short descriptions of four kinds of sharks.
The Great White Shark
The Great White Shark is one of the most frightening creatures in the sea. They live in tropical and subtropical waters, and they can grow up to 9 meters long. Most Great White Sharks are actually grey, blue or brown with a white belly, and their powerful teeth are triangles with edges like saws.
The Whale Shark
Whale Sharks are the largest kind of shark in the world up to 11 meters in length. They live in tropical waters all around the world, but they are not dangerous. Whale Sharks are brown or grey with white or yellow stripes. They often travel near the surface of the sea.
The Mako Shark
Mako Sharks are fierce predators. They come from the same family of sharks as the Great White Shark and they are especially fast—they can swim at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour. They are large bluish sharks found in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Mako Sharks can grow up to 3 meters long.
The Great Hammerhead Shark
The Great Hammerhead Shark's most striking feature is its wide thick head which looks like a hammer. The average size of a Great Hammerhead Shark is approximately 3.5 meters, but it can grow up to 6 meters long. These sharks average over 500 pounds but can weigh as much as 1，000 pounds. Like most sharks the females are larger than the males. They have several rows of teeth that have 24 to 37 teeth per row.

CHARITY HONORS SON'S MEMORY
Nonprofit providing gifts to 18 to 39 years old is raising memory
By PAM KRAOEN
RAMONA, Calif.—Before he died from cancer at age 29, Silas River Bennett spent his final months taking photographs of the world around him, emailing friends, buying gifts for his sisters and encouraging his family to give things to the needy. “What was important to him was to have a sense of himself outside of cancer，” said his mom, Lorraine Kerz of Ramona.
Bennett went to the hospital in fall 2007 with severe back pains. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his bones. Doctors believed the cancer was environmentally caused, perhaps by exposure to some poisonous gas in the basement where he lived or poisons in the paints he used as a painter. Kerz said her son was a man with a great sense of humor and a very creative mind. He had an “electric intellect” who loved debating and watching Jeopardy！—a game show on TV and telling stories with his photographs. After Bennett died in May 2008, Kerz wanted to honor the creative spirit and generosity of her son, whose nickname was “Sy”. The result was Sy's Fund, a Ramona based all volunteer national nonprofit that has fulfilled the wishes of more than 250 people aged 18 to 39 who are battling cancer. Sy's Fund provides them with small gifts—such as laptops, cameras, guitar lessons, or printers—to lift their spirits and refocus their energies in a positive direction.
The group raises money through three fundraisers each year, such as golf tournaments and 5K races. This year because of the COVID 19, they're trying a virtual fundraiser for the first time. After registering online, participants must download the “Let's Roam” app to their phones to donate. For those who want to apply for a wish grant, visit sysfund.org. The organization is also seeking more volunteer members. For details, email Kerz at lorraine@sysfund.org.
4．Why did Kerz found Sy's Fund
A．Because she wanted to honor her son.
B．Because she wanted to get rid of cancer.
C．Because she wanted to make her son famous.
D．Because she wanted to gain more profit.
5．What can we learn about Sy
A．His cancer was caused by poisonous paints.
B．He spent his final months preparing for the fund.
C．He was energetic and lived a short but colorful life.
D．He died more than one year after he was diagnosed with cancer.
6．How does Sy's Fund help the needy
A．By selling some things to cancer patients at a low price.
B．By seeking more volunteers to tell stories.
C．By asking participants to download an app to the phones.
D．By providing cancer patients with small gifts.
7．Where is this text most likely from
A．A newspaper. B．A guidebook.

[2022·云南省第一次高中毕业生统一检测]A New Zealand council has announced a month long road closure in order to allow a sea lion and her pup to reach the ocean safely.
John Wilson Ocean Drive in Dunedin will be closed after the New Zealand sea lions made their home at a nearby golf course (球场) and started “regularly crossing the road to get to the beach”， according to a post from Dunedin City Council.
“You can still visit the area on foot or by bicycle, but please give the sea lions lots of space，” continued the post.
Locals applauded the decision，and one even called for the closure to be made permanent.
“No dogs should be on the beach，either，”wrote Gaylene Smith.“We need to protect our beautiful sea life.”
Dogs are known to attack sea lions, and Chisholm Links Golf Course, where the sea lions have made their home, also posted advice to dog walkers in an update.

[2022·长春市高三质量预测四]It's hard to turn down hamburgers, French fries, potato chips and all of the other junk food that seem to call out to us. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, particularly if you're between the ages of 10 and 19.
“Junk food shapes adolescent brains in ways that weaken their ability to think, learn and remember. It can also make it harder to control impulsive behaviors，” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutrition specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen's risk of depression and anxiety.”
Reichelt and two other researchers found adolescents are more sensitive than any other age group to processed foods with a lot of fat and sugar. Adolescent brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn't eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge. But this region is the last to mature—it doesn't fully develop until we are in our early 20s. Meanwhile, teen brains get more active from rewards for a while. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something pleasurable are fully developed by the teen years.
In fact, these regions are even more sensitive when we are young. That's because dopamine (多巴胺), a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in adolescent brains. Therefore, the teen brain has two strikes against it when it comes to resisting junk food.“It has a heightened drive for rewards and reduced self regulation，” said Reichelt.
So, what's the best way to say no to junk food Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain's reward system becomes less sensitive to food. Exercise also cause the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions. The prefrontal cortex thus can work better to help us make wise decisions and control our impulses.
12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．The effects of eating junk food.
B．The causes of favouring junk food.
C．The tendency of sharing junk food.
D．The benefits of avoiding junk food.
13．What is the function of the prefrontal cortex
A．It serves as the sense of taste.
B．It promotes teenagers' spirits.
C．It is partly in charge of self control.
D．It helps teenagers grow physically mature.
14．What does “it” refer to in the third paragraph
A．The prefrontal cortex.
B．The urge.
C．The adolescent brain.
D．The body.
15．Why it is hard for teens to give up junk food
A．Junk food is delicious and nutritious.
B．Junk food is popular among young people.
C．Teenagers don't realize the harm of junk food.
D．Teenagers can feel temporary excitement from junk food.

[2022·洛阳市第一次统一考试]
Last month our class project was to make a school newspaper. Our teacher divided us into groups and each group was supposed to work on a column (专栏). I missed the first planning meeting because of a dentist appointment so my group filled me in the next day. “We decided to do a gossip (闲言碎语) column，” Emily informed me. “We took along our notebooks and paid extra close attention to everything happening around us.”
Austin read from his notebook, “James either has a cold or really bad allergies because he's been sneezing nonstop.” Jessica said, “Jackson is either going through a major growth spurt or getting ready to run a marathon because he's been eating two entire sandwiches for lunch.”
This gossip column was making me very uncomfortable. It was already spinning out of control. “Hold on，” I said, “don't you think kids will feel embarrassed to have that stuff shared with the school？” Austin jumped in, saying that I had a point and that the gossip column idea was not that friendly.
Then we thought about it for a bit, and then Emily brightened. “What if we do a friendly gossip column instead We can call it an op gop column！” And that was exactly what we did. The next day at school, we took out notebooks everywhere we went. But this time, we wrote down the good stuff we witnessed. Here are a few snippets (一小条消息) from the column we ended up publishing：
Katie Myers was spotted picking up other people's litter and throwing it into the garbage can without even being asked.
Danny Gonzales was seen helping a second grader get a ball unstuck from a high, hard to reach place.
And Soe Zaleski was overheard very patiently explaining a maths problem to a very grateful person.
1．What did the author's team members do the day the project was announced
A．They were divided into three groups.
B．They went to the dentist's on schedule.
C．They discussed their topic with the author.
D．They gathered information for their topic.
2．Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the gossip column
A．Supportive. B．Indifferent.
C．Opposed. D．Objective.
3．What does the underlined word “spurt” in the second paragraph most probably mean
A．The age limit. B．Sudden increase.
C．Inborn disability. D．The highest height.
4．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage
A．To call on people to spread people's good deeds.
B．To introduce the content of their op gop column.
C．To show people love to catch the gossip news.
D．To prove it's easy to catch the gossip news.

[2022·云南省第一次高中毕业生统一检测]This year, new technologies will enable more drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel (方向盘) while on the road. But that doesn't mean their cars will be fully self driving—that day still remains far in the future.
Automakers like General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis are introducing, or upgrading existing technologies. But in the words of Kay Stepper, an automated driving expert, these systems are “feet off” and “hands off”， but they will not be “eyes off” or “mind off”．
For the time being, these systems will only be used on limited access highways, where there are no pedestrians or bicyclists. Vehicles with this technology will be able to drive at relatively high speeds, but only in simple traffic situations.
Bryan Reimer, a researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's AgeLab, said it will be decades before people can buy truly self driving cars in which humans ride as passengers.
Still, the technology that will be rolled out by the major automakers this year will do more than most so called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, do now.
GM's Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go of the steering wheel while driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV and the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans.
Super Cruise only works on highways that have been previously laser mapped in three dimensions. GPS positioning and the vehicles' radar sensors (传感器) and cameras are used to enable drivers to unhand all the controls.
Drivers still need to pay attention, however. A camera in the car makes sure the driver is looking at the road at all times. If the driver looks away from the road for more than a few seconds, the system will stop working.
5．At present, what can the self driving cars do
A．They can drive freely on city streets.
B．They can run without human drivers.
C．They handle complex road conditions on their own.
D．They allow drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel.
6．What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about
A．GM's Super Cruise system.
B．GM's latest car models.
C．GM's development plan.
D．GM's close competitors.
7．What can we infer from the words of Kay Stepper
A．People need to trust new technology.
B．People still need to pay attention.
C．People can look away from the road.
D．People can't unhand all the controls.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．It's High Time to Get a New Car
B．The Industrial Revolution Is Underway
C．Super Cruise Does More than Most ADAS
D．The Real Self driving Remains Far

[2022·成都市第三次诊断] It can be very easy to stick with what you know, instead of trying to meet people who are different from you. __1__ Here's what you can do：
Become self aware. __2__ This includes bias (偏见) about your own cultural background. It can be challenging, but by doing this you'll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to understanding differences. You could try: Think about what assumptions you make about your friends, peers, and people you work with.
Talk to someone from a different cultural background. Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better. __3__ You'll automatically find out more about their life and experiences. Just being curious and open minded can be helpful.
Be more accepting. Sometimes, for one reason or another, it's not all that easy to understand some cultural differences. __4__ In other words, you don't have to understand, or even agree with someone in order to accept them.
__5__ One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion. You should do some research to actually learn about people, instead of making broad brush assessments. Stereotyping (对……形成模式化的看法) people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities.
A．Do your own research.
B．Think beyond stereotypes.
C．Practice being sympathetic towards people.
D．Work out your own beliefs, values and personal bias.
E．Instead of asking them questions directly, treat them as friends.

[2022·合肥市高三第一次检测]“To me, love is the most important thing. What could be more healing than love？”
These words, like lines from a poem, are easy to agree with coming from Robin, who founded the Bumi Sehat Bali Clinic in central Ubnd, the setting for the film Eat Pray Love. Now the clinic provides treatment or educational support for over 100，000 people annually.
Giving birth to her first child at nineteen, Robin moved to Hawaii after college, working for several years on a farm, where she taught farming practices and poetry. But in 1991, she received heartbreaking news. Her idyllic life on the farm in Hawaii was turned upside down when her sister, expecting a child in Alabama, died of pregnancy complications (妊娠并发症).
“When my dear sister passed away, I realized mothers were dying everywhere, In countries with increased poverty, some people can't afford to go to the hospital. What motivated me initially was my love for my sister, but this soon grew into a concern for mothers and children all over the world.” Robin's feelings for her sister were transformed into a desire to help women everywhere in need.
To ensure that children are born healthy, nutritionally balanced meals are provided for expecting mothers free of charge. Those who lack housing are free to stay as long as it is necessary. The clinic also sees patients of all ages who have symptoms unrelated to childbirth, while providing facilities for language learning and IT education, and annually training over 6，000 nursing and midwifery (助产) students, backed by a scholarship program.
Just as Robin said, love is to be found inside the Bumi Sehat Bali Clinic. Perhaps feelings of showing kindness toward others and wanting to make the world a better place are the key to a brighter tomorrow.
4．Which of the following best explains “idyllic，” underlined in Paragraph 3
A．Peaceful. B．Dramatic.
C．Tough. D．Troublesome.
5．What made Robin change her career course at first
A．Her love for midwifery.
B．Her desire to help children.
C．Her sorrow for her sister's death.
D．Her loss of interest in poetry.
6．What do we know about the clinic
A．It is famous for its nursing program.
B．It offers mothers to be free diets.
C．It provides financial aid for mothers.
D．It has treated more than 6，000 patients.
7．What can we learn from Robin's story
A．Love makes the world a better place.
B．Ups and downs make one strong.
C．Kindness can be richly rewarded.
D．Hard work inspires great respect.

[2022·合肥市高三第二次教学质量检测]Ever since she received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift, Kate Korolevskaya has been attracted by flight. From flying remote controlled airplanes to building her own model ones, Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions, but only until recently has she been able to take that to new heights.
When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor, she knew it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream. The program's mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilot's license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge.
After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the program, Kate began her training. Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic (大流行病), however, Kate spent hours each weekend studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework. Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks in ground school, reviewing flight training from nine to five every day. “It was the toughest part of the program，” Kate said.
After completing that portion of ground school, Kate was finally able to begin flying at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay Area. Flying, especially for first timers like Kate, is a hands on process involving lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of.
Now, having finished the program and earned her PPL, Kate plans on training as a flight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future.
She credits the Upwind Scholarship with all she's been able to accomplish so far and hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it. “It is a very hard scholarship to get into, and you have to be truly interested in flight，” Kate said. “It can't be something like ‘Oh, why don't I try flying this summer？’ . You have to be ready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program.”
8．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Her skill of building model airplanes.
B．Her wish to take flights around the world.
C．Her dream of becoming a pilot.
D．Her desire to fly remote controlled airplanes.
9．What is the goal of the Upwind Scholarship
A．To help students in need to achieve their dreams.
B．To provide necessary training for private pilots for free.
C．To give students expert advice on earning a scholarship.
D．To prepare high school students to become a private pilot.
10．What did Kate do in ground school
A．She took online lessons on flying.
B．She went over the fundamentals of flying.
C．She did some research into the pandemic.
D．She finished applying for the program.
11．Which of the following can best describe Kate
A．Confident and aggressive.
B．Strong willed and patient.
C．Demanding and courageous.
D．Ambitious and hard working.

[2022·南昌市高三摸底测试卷]When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than walking down a sidewalk—because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. It turns out that the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads.
“The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹痕) in the pavement—like it's continuously driving up a very shallow hill，” said Jeremy Gregory, a scientist at MIT. He modeled with his teammates how much energy could be saved and how much greenhouse gases could be avoided by simply hardening the nation's roads and highways.
And they found that hardening 10 percent of the nation's roads every year could prevent the emission (排放) equal to 440 megatons of carbon dioxide over the next 5 decades—that amount is equal to how much CO2 you'd spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground or by growing 7 billion trees for a decade. It reduces 0.5% of projected transportation emissions over that time period.
As for how to harden roads, Gregory says you could combine small amounts of certain fibre with high technology into paving materials. Or you could pave the roads with specially made concrete, which is harder than ordinary construction materials.
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual barriers.“Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you're talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves (牵涉) millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and preserve our pavements. That's just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies.” And when it comes to improving our streets and highways—those agencies are where you might say the rubber meets the road.
12．How does the author develop Paragraph 3
A．By giving examples.
B．By making classification.
C．By listing figures.
D．By analyzing causes.
13．What does Gregory suggest for hardening roads
A.Mixing fibre with special concrete.
B．Changing regular paving materials.
C．Creating hi tech computer models.
D．Using ordinary building materials.
14．What is an advantage of the road hardening system
A．It reduces construction costs.
B．It profits transportation agencies.
C．It regulates driver behavior.
D．It avoids involving too many people.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Walking Down Beaches or Sidewalks
B．Hardening Roads Helps Save Energy
C．How to Cut Down Carbon Emissions
D．A System of Hardening Roads

[2022·云南省第一次质检]In the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, hundreds of journalists were holding lights, cameras and voice recorders as they tried to find strategic positions at group interviews.
Each speaker was allowed only a short time. Everyone laughed because Professor Zhu Youyong carried along a big potato during his two minutes.
“Farmers in China's poor areas can rely on agricultural science to strive for a well off life，” said the 63 year old plant disease expert.
Professor Zhu is nicknamed “potato scholar”. Born into a family of farmers in Yunnan, Zhu said he has an attachment to the land. Since 2016, Zhu's team has promoted agricultural science in Lancang, Yunnan Province.
Zhu said farmers in the area only planted rice once a year. After the harvest, the rice fields stayed unused for the entire winter. In 2016, his team launched a pilot program, which was used to test the idea of growing a late season potato crop.
Success soon arrived, with about 3.1 tonnes of potatoes harvested in a field covering just 0.07 hectare, which brought income to farmers of about 9，000 yuan. Then in 2017, Zhu expanded cultivation (栽培) in several villages in the country, benefiting more than 1，000 families.
“We have set a goal of helping every poor farmer in the country to earn 10，000 yuan out of 0.07 hectare of farmland cultivated each winter, so as to lift farmers out of poverty (贫困)，” Zhu said.
“Ultimately, I am a farmer. Going back to the fields and seeing how my research changed the lives of farmers in China is the most important thing to me，” he said.
4．Why did Professor Zhu appear special at the group interviews

[2022·大连市高三双基测试卷]Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights
The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally—by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art
Whatever your opinion, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5 meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of “art” and the“artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”？
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.
Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”？ And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
8．How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks
A．By talking to her on the phone.
B．By lighting up the artworks.
C．By touching their phone screens.
D．By coloring the patterns.
9．What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate
A．Achievements of China's technology.
B．The influence of art on technology.
C．Interaction between viewers and art.
D．Easier access to art caused by technology.
10．What do we know about the combination of art and technology
A．It lowers the quality of artworks.
B．It involves common people in innovation.
C．It shortens the time of painting.
D．It makes scientists the real creators of art.
11．What is the author's attitude towards combining technology with art
A．Regretful. B．Objective.
C．Disapproving. D．Conservative.

[2022·青岛市统一检测]Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “Persons with a higher education tend to have better jobs, and better income, better benefits，” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.
Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as having the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life，” Williams said. They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it—such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress—than people with less education, he said.
“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine，” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modern medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health care environment, you might find it harder to effectively understand your medical care.”
A report issued by Williams' commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people's health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn't enough to improve health. What's needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education—encouraging people to obtain more education.
12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health
B．Higher Education Can Bring More Income
C．Happiness Comes from Good Education
D．Medical Care Safeguards Good Health
13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Resources to deal with life.
B．Ways to exercise away stress.
C．Factors concerning a higher education.
D．Benefits related to a higher education.
14．What can we learn from Angner's words
A．Better education means understanding the world better.
B．Modern medicine world is too difficult to understand.
C．People with a good education may be happier.
D．Reading skills help in understanding medical care.
15．What is stressed in the report issued by Williams' commission
A．Adults are less likely to have good health.
B．The medical system determines people's health.
C．More education is needed to improve health.
D．More access to medical care is important.

[2022·惠州市调研]Dad's comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say，“Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it，OK？”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane (平凡的) task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I'd done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn't come home as much as he used to—just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I would already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Today, I'm no longer a kid. I've graduated from college and got a job. Dad's business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persists.
Two days before my birthday this year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bag into his study. When I turned to leave, he said，“Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb？” I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before—the smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.
After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous (细心的) way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I'm glad.
4．What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me
A．The generation gap.
B．Dad's failure in business.
C．My ignorance of Dad.
D．Dad's absence from the family.
5．Which of the following can best describe Dad
A．Gentle but strict.
B．Hardworking and caring.
C．Cautious and realistic.
D．Demanding but patient.
6．Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday

[2022·惠州市高三调研]The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck__a__chord__with many young Chinese who are eager to take a pause to breathe in this fast paced and highly competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纠纷) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”， joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggles, endurance and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment，” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressure from child raising to paying the mortgage (按揭), today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and generation Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese young people have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges，” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It's no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
8．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Warned. B．Criticized.
C．Touched. D．Amused.
9．What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A．Improvements in living conditions.
B．Growing pressure from family and social life.
C．Increasing material possessions from families.
D．Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
10．What's the scholar's attitude toward the “lying down” group
A．Understanding. B．Intolerant.
C．Supportive. D．Unclear.
11．What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A．They never really drop their responsibilities.
B．They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C．They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D．They would rather escape than take challenges.

[2022·青岛市高中教学质量检测]In the Ancient Greek world, one was meant to focus on a close knowledge of just two books, Homer's The Odyssey and his The Iliad, because these were the best guides to action in military and civilian affairs. However, the modern world firmly equals the intelligent person with the well read person.
Nowadays, if we do not rush to read four of this year's major prize winning books, we will feel guilty about how far behind we are. We think that there should be no limit to how much we read because in answer to the question of why we read, there is only one response that will ever be ambitious enough: We read in order to know everything.
But this tiring approach to reading does not make us particularly happy. So in order to ease and simplify our lives, we might have a much more limited, focused and useful goal. We might, for example, read in order to learn to be content. Nothing less and nothing more.
With this new, far more targeted ambition in mind, much of the pressure to read constantly and randomly starts to fade. Once we know that we are reading to be content, we don't need to chase every book published this season. We can zero in on titles that best explain what we need. So for example, we may need a few key books that will teach us about how families work and how they might work better, that can take us through how to find a job, or how to develop the courage to develop our opportunities.
The more we understand what reading is for us, the more we can enjoy close relationships with a few works only. The truly well read person isn't the one who has read a huge number of books, but someone who has let themselves be deeply shaped by just a few, very well chosen titles.
12．Why are Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To present a fact.
B．To explain a point.
C．To raise a question.
D．To make a comparison.
13．What can we infer from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3
A．Major prize winning books should be read.
B．We should be ambitious to read to know everything.
C．Reading as much as we can leads to happiness.
D．We should read with focused purposes.
14．What kind of books does the author advise us to read
A．The newly published ones.
B．Those with innovative names.
C．The books meeting your needs.
D．The books improving your ambitions.
15．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To promote our interest in reading.
B．To advocate a targeted reading way.
C．To criticize reading blindly.
D．To compare different reading styles.

Having trouble staying motivated during a workout __2__ Research in the November 2019 Psychology of Sport and Exercise found that upbeat music can make a workout seem less challenging and more enjoyable. In the study, people performed high intensity interval training (HIIT). The exercisers in the music group reported enjoying their workout more than those in the slow or non music groups.
__3__ But waking up to a pleasant tone instead of a sharp alarm can reduce morning sleepiness and improve efficiency, suggests a study published online Jan. 28, 2020, by PLOS ONE. Set your smart phone alarm to play soft, harmonic sounds or a relaxing tune.
Music helps to relieve stress in a medical procedure. An analysis of 72 trials involving almost 7，000 patients found that patients who listened to music before, during, and after surgery reported less pain. Earlier studies had found that listening to music during dental work lowered people's anxiety levels. Music produces a calming effect by stimulating the brain's pleasure region. The right choice of music also appears to be necessary. __4__ “Music that is predictable can promote feelings of control and calm，” she says.
