Xi’s words inspire youth
习近平主席给年轻人的七条人生建议。
takes time to share his experiences and wisdom with the country?s young people. From forming a healthy lifestyle to keeping a positive attitude toward life, his wise words are like a lighthouse (灯塔) that guides China?s youth on the right path to personal growth. Here are seven pieces of advice he has given to Chinese youth on different occasions. Let?s take a look.
Refine (磨炼) professional skills
①The youth must refine their professional skills. Study is the ladder of progress and practice is the
realizing the Chinese Dream. (May 4, 2013)
The buttons of life
②Living one?s life is like buttoning up one?s jacket. If the first button is not fastened correctly, the
beginning. (May 4, 2014)
Young people should avoid staying up late
③I was so eager to do my job well but fell ill quite often. The reason? I always burnt the midnight oil. Later, I came to realize that I couldn?t work like this anymore. One has to be fully aware that one cannot finish all the work at a time, however enthusiastic one may be about the job. (Jan 12, 2015)
Happiness does not fall from the sky
④The future is encouraging and inspiring. But happiness does not fall from the sky. We shall
Honest work
⑤The whole society should vigorously promote the spirit of hard work, encouraging people to realize their dreams and change their fate through honest work, while opposing negative thoughts such as profiting from other people?s work, opportunism and indulging in ple asure and comfort. (April 26, 2016)
Roll up our sleeves (袖子) to work harder
⑥As the saying goes, “success comes to those who share in one purpose”. As long as our 1.3 billion-plus people are pulled together for a common cause, as long as the Party stands together with the people and we roll up our sleeves to work harder, we will surely succeed in a Long March of our generation. (Dec 31, 2016)
Not slack in prosperity and not lose faith in adversity
⑦During one?s growth and endeavor, the young may gain succes s and joy, but may also face difficulties and pressure. One should treat the success and failure at the moment with a correct attitude, not slack in prosperity and not lose faith in adversity. One should consider both the success and failure as wealth in life instead of burdens. (May 3, 2017)
Question: Which one impresses or inspires you most? And why? Try to share your own ideas and combine them with your own life experience.
Blame genes for bad sleep
“夜猫子”可能和基因突变有关。
For a lot of people, getting a full night?s sleep is nothing more than just a dream. Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it?s 2 in the morning and we?re still staring at the ceiling.
It?s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things suc h as stress, anxiety, or even using a smartphone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.
The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍), a condition that affects one?s sleeping patterns, is passed down via a mutated (突变的) gene.w DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than the average person.
To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning.
It was discovered that the woman?s body produces the hormone (荷尔蒙) that helps us sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman?s gene, one that helps regulate (调节) the “body clock”.
Some of the woman?s family members were also found to share the same mutation – and the same sleeping problems – leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.
However, having this mutation doesn?t mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had the mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.
But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can?t fall asleep at night –although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.
BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked about his battle with insomnia (失眠) and the techniques he used.
“I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness (正念冥想) exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so,” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.
Choose the best answer:
1. What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?
A. Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.
B. Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.
C. Smartphones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.
D. Sleep problems are more common among younger people.
2. What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?
A. It will delay sleep for seven hours.
B. It will be passed down to every future generation.
C. It doesn?t necessarily cause sleep problems.
D. It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.
3. What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?
A. Keeping away from social media.
B. Doing some outdoor exercises.
C. Listening to light music.
D. Reading interesting books.
4. What?s the main purpose of the article?
A. To explain different reasons for sleep problems.
B. To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.
C. To warn readers of the bad influence of sleeping late.
D. To give advice to avoid sleepless nights.
Pre-reading:Have you ever tried skydiving (跳伞)? Do you think anyone should be able to do it?
Freedom of flying high
When a medical condition put Jessika Kattah in a wheelchair, she knew she wouldn?t be able to walk again.
But she could still fly.
Kattah and other disabled people have found a home once a month at an indoor skydiving center in Davie, US. Every second Thursday of the month, it hosts a special event for physically challenged people, during which they can experience what it?s like to fly.
But if you think that floating in a wind tunnel (风洞) is nothing like jumping out of an airplane, Kattah, 30, is happy to tell you that you?re wrong.
“You definitely get that feeling of flying,” said Kattah, who did skydiving twice before she suffered her medical condition. “But the fact that I?m able to get out of my chair makes it so great. You forget about your disability; you?re just like everybody else. It?s so freeing and liberating (解脱的), and there?s no chair attached to you.”
The experience is safe and almost anyone of any age can participate. Few people emerge (出来) from the wind tunnel without a big smile on their face, and applause always erupts from the people sitting in the observation area.
Chuck Petscher, who is blind, had never been the type of person to try anything risky. But on a recent evening, he decided to give indoor skydiving a shot. “I?ll do this, but I?m not jumping out of an airplane,” he joked.
After his flight, which he described as “awesome; a major rush,” he said the experience was “like swimming in the air”.
“When you?re handicapped, you usually have to do things in a different way from everybody else,” he said. “Here, you?re doing what everybody else is doing. That?s what turned me on to it.”
This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by (为……所限制) their disability, there?s always something they can do that they never thought they?d be able to do.“If you have that inkling (隐约的想法) of wanting to do it, do it. Don?t let fear guide you. In the end, you?re going to be so happy you did it.”

Two great players finally reunited
They went to four straight NBA Finals with two __________________(championship)on the Miami Heat from 2011-14, and they played in two Olympics together and ________(win) one gold. It?s no wonder LeBron James and Dwyane Wade became close friends.

team again?
“Every time we walk by each other in the locker room and
everywhere, we just look at each other and shake our head because
it just doesn?t seem real,” said 35-year-old Wade, _______ signed
with the Cavaliers on Sept 27. “It?s like, …How did this happen? How
did we get here?? We just start laughing every time we walk by each other.”
According to website https://www.doczj.com/doc/5d11871085.html,, James, 32, said that reuniting with Wade “was like _________(see) his best friend in the same class on the first day of school”.
And as for Wade, he compared his and his friend?s relationship to a ___________(schoolboy) favorite sandwich. “It?s like peanut butter and jelly, man, we just go together,” Wade said in his first meeting with the Cleveland media.
Does the ________(reunite) of James and Wade mean the Cavaliers are ________(head) toward another NBA ch ampionship in the new season? We?ll just have to wait and see.
Xi’s words inspire youth参考译文：
①“广大青年一定要练就过硬本领。学习是成长进步的阶梯，实践是提高本领的途径。青年的素质和本领直接影响着实现中国梦的进程。”
②“这就像穿衣服扣扣子一样，如果第一粒扣子扣错了，剩余的扣子都会扣错。人生的扣子从一开始就要扣好。”
③“那个时候我年轻想办好事，差不多一个月大病一场。为什么呢？老熬夜。经常是通宵达旦干。后来最后感觉到不行，这么干也长不了。先把自己的心态摆顺了，内在有激情，外在还是要从容不迫。”
④“前景令人鼓舞、催人奋进，但幸福不会从天降。我们要树立必胜信念、继续埋头苦干。”
⑤“我们要在全社会大力弘扬劳动精神，提倡通过诚实劳动来实现人生的梦想、改变自己的命运，反对一切不劳而获、投机取巧、贪图享乐的思想。”
⑥“上下同欲者胜。只要我们13亿多人民和衷共济，只要我们党永远同人民站在一起，大家撸起袖子加油干，我们就一定能够走好我们这一代人的长征路。”
⑦“青年在成长和奋斗中，会收获成功和喜悦，也会面临困难和压力。要正确对待一时的成败得失，处优而不养尊，受挫而不短志，使顺境逆境都成为人生的财富而不是人生的包袱。”
（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. （1）The first paragraph is meant to . A. offer a suggestion B. give a warning C. explain a reason D. introduce the topic （2）It can be learned from the text that more and more people will . A. prefer to read local news B. pay more attention to world news C. start a career in citizen journalism D. give up watching TV news programmes （3）What would be the best title for the text? A. The Latest Local News B. More Choices for News C. The End of TV News D. Traditional World News 【答案】（1）D （2）C （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了市民可以观看的新闻媒体。有些新闻来自国家（正式新闻）;有些新闻来自民间，这种民间的非正式媒体新闻正呈上升趋势；市民还可以在网上发布一些新闻。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“ watch an international news program on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.”和第二段中的“The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN”可以推断出第一段是引子，是为了引出下文的话题（介绍BBC World和

Edwarda O’Bara was a 17-year-old high school student in 1970 when she became sick from her diabetes(糖尿病)medication and slipped into a diabetic coma. Just before she lost consciousness, Edwarda asked her mother, Kaye O’Bara, to never leave her side, and her family never d id. Edwarda’s father, Joe O’Bara, and Kaye took care of their daughter—reading to her, playing her music, making sure she was turned every two hours, bathed, given insulin(胰岛素)and given nourishment through a feeding tube—until their deaths in 1976 and 2008, respectively. After that, Edwarda’s sister Colleen O’Bara took over. Her family’s unending care for her became a story told across the world. And visitors from across the world traveled to the Miami Gardens home every year, sometimes appearing at the doorstep on random days, other times for Edwarda’s yearly birthday party, a cheerful affair with decorations, balloons and cake. Through it all, Edwarda remained in a coma. But to her family and followers she remained alive. Colleen O’Bara described her as “the best sister in the whole wide world.” “She taught me so much, especially after she was in the coma, ” Colleen O’Bara said, “She taught me so much about unconditional love that I couldn’t say I had it before. She taught me about patience that I didn’t have before. I learned so much from taking care of my sister. It’s like I grew up overnight. ” In an announcement of Edwarda’s death posted Thursday on a website, Colleen O’Bara wrote: “Yesterday while taking care of Edwarda I noticed her looking directly a t me and gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen. She then closed her eyes and joined my Mom in Heaven. ” 1. How old was Edwarda O’Bara when she died? A. 56. B. 57. C. 58. D. 59. 2.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》 新科技 Passage1(2019台州) Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses! Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing ________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help. But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device. What do you think Are you ready to start voice shopping ( )1. From the passage, we know that Alexa ________． A. can look after the baby B. can cook delicious food C. is a toy doll sold online D. is one kind of AI device ( )2.

What a newspaper includes is decided by its editors. The managing editor decides which stories are newsworthy and gives reporters their tasks. To an editor, there are two kinds of news: hard news, such as the election (选举) of a president, and soft news. Soft news includes stories about a new dance craze, a beautiful historic building, or an interesting person. The soft news fills whatever space is left after the hard news is put into the newspaper space. There is also public service news to fit in－information about meetings and lectures, free health programs, or changes in a local library’s hours. The managing editor decides how important a story is. If a story is very important, it is marked for a headline on the front page. Less important stories appear farther back in the paper. The story editor takes a story and decides to “boil or trim it”. If the editor decides to boil a story, it becomes front-page article. Depending on the size of a paper, there may be a sports editor, a business editor or an art editor. On a small weekly paper, an editor may cover two or more of these areas. Once all the stories are written, they are given to a copy editor, who corrects any mistakes and fits the articles into the newspaper’s format(版式). The makeup editor, with the managing editor, usually dec ides how the paper will look. The editor’s job is to decide whether a page will look. This editor’s job is to deicide whether a page will carry two stories and four ads or six stories and one ad. Editors may rewrite or redesign many of the pages as more stories come from the pressroom. 61. An example of hard news is _______ A. the election of a president B. a story about a historic building C. a new fashion in clothes D. information about health programs 62. Where a news story is put in the newspaper depends on___________ A. its length B. its style C. its importance D. its title 63. What does the underlined word “trim” in the second paragraph mean? A. Reduce in size B. Increase in length C. Beautify in appearance D. Change in shape 64. Correcting the mistakes of all the articles is the work of_______ A. makeup editors B. copy editors C. managing editors D. business editors 65. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To persuade people to work as editors. B. To tell the readers how editors are educated. C. To introduce some famous editors. D. To show how a newspaper is made.

语言与学习 一、阅读理解（共20小题；共40分） A British people have always been good at saying "I'm sorry". They used to be so good at it that they would apologize(道歉) for things that weren't even their fault. However, the British seem to be losing touch with their art. According to a new book by British writer Max Davidson, instead of saying "I'm sorry" when they do something wrong, British people prefer to choose their words carefully. In this book, Sorry—The Hardest Word and How to Use It, Davidson writes about a number of recent apologies. One example is of British television host Jeremy Clarkson. He described Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister (首相), as "a one-eyed Scottish idiot(笨蛋)". (Brown is blind in his left eye) Clarkson was forced to apologize. He said, "In the heat of the moment, I made a remark(评论) about the prime minister. Now I apologize of reflection." Davidson says the apology was just "going through the motions(做表面文章)". Clarkson is not the only one. The best example may come from the UK MP(议员) Tessa Jowell. She said publicly, "If you feel our government falls short of what you expect, then I say sorry for that." Jowell said "sorry". But she is actually saying it's not the government's fault but the voters' fault for expecting too much from the government. Perhaps those people with influence feel they may lose too much by apologizing. But as a teenager, would you really want to lose a close friend, just because you couldn't say something as simple as, "I'm sorry"? That would be hard to forgive. 1. Who was the improper description "a one-eyed Scottish idiot" used to describe? A. Max Davidson. B. Jeremy Clarkson. C. Gordon Brown. D. Tessa Jowell. 2. What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean? A. The British are still good at apologizing. B. The British like to say sorry for everything they have done.
一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visit Greenport may date back to the 1630s, but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village: Claudio's If you've been to Greenport, you can't miss Claudio's —it's where generations of Long Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — is right by the dock entrance. Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market It's little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There's no sign or advertising for this tiny house changed from the cabin of an old ship that's practically hidden down Bootlegger's Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are — streams of people who come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view. The Times Vintage Nostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets. Greenport Fire Heat comes in many forms and several are sold here — hot sauces, cigars and candles. Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such as a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged tobacco. （1）What's special about Greenport? A. It is a place full of energy. B. It is a famous port in the world. C. It is a combination of new and old. D. It is a popular place of interest. （2）What can you do in The Times Vintage? A. You can enjoy delicious oysters. B. You can buy some old things. C. You can find hand-rolled cigars. D. You can have Baccano Pizza. （3）If you are a smoker, you may be interested in _________. A. Claudio's B. Little Creek Oyster C. Greenport Fire D. The Times Vintage 【答案】（1）C （2）B （3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了绿港（Greenport）这个村庄里能体现新旧融合的四个地方。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“…but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here
