Let’s take a look at four of them.Italian beef sandwichKnown around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938. Dozens of Italian beef joints now exist in Chicago area, including Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park and Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. The latter is popular among people who favor vegetable products.Italian subItalian subs exist all over the country with different names. Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. At J.P. Graziano, now managed by Graziano’s great-grandson Jim Graziano, the Italian sub features hot pork sausage, plus tomato, red wine vinegar, which adds a deeper, richer flavor.ReubenMade with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature.Chicago-style hot dogDating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients (原料). They include an all-beef frank, a steamed bread roll and a salad bar of toppings. As one of the city’s most popular spots for a Chicago dog, the family-owned roadside stand, Superdawg Drive-In, has served hot dogs since 1948. If you order a Chicago dog, the really critical detail is that you can’t see tomato source, which would ruin the perfect balance of the food.1．Among the four must-eat Chicago sandwiches, which one has the longest history? A．Italian beef sandwich.B．Italian sub.C．Reuben.D．Chicago-style hot dog.2．In which restaurant can you taste an award-winning sandwich?A．Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park.B．J.P. Graziano.C．Manny’s.D．Superdawg Drive-In.3．Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from?A．Transport.B．Health.C．Travel.D．Science.When humans are feeling lonely, we can call or video chat with friends and family who live far away. But, scientists asked, what about pet parrots? New research suggests that these chatty creatures may also benefit from virtually connecting with their peers.The idea for this study was not random: In the wild, parrots tend to live in large groups. But when kept in as pets, these social birds are often on their own. Feeling bored and lonely, they may develop psychological issues and can even turn to self-harming behaviours like pulling out their feathers.In the study, researchers wanted to see whether 18 pet parrots could learn to make and receive video calls when they needed to help reduce loneliness. In the initial stage, the birds learnt to ring a bell and then touch a photo of another bird on a tablet screen to start a call to that bird. Calls would only work when caregivers were able to assist at both ends. In the second stage, the parrots could choose to call other birds at their own will by ringing the bell then selecting the bird they wanted to call. During a two-month study period, owners said they recorded 147 deliberate calls between birds.“We saw some really encouraging results from the study,” said researchers. The parrots seemed to grasp that they were truly engaging with other birds onscreen and their behaviour often mirrored what we would expect from real-life interactions between these types of birds. “She came alive during the calls,” one pet owner said about her bird, according to a Northeastern University statement.The team has previously designed similar technology such as DogPhone, which allowed pet dogs to shake a ball to communicate with their owner. “The animal Internet is already here—there are hundreds of products on the market that let pet owners interact with their animals remotely over the net, but their design is primarily focused on what humans want, not what their pets need,” Hirskyj-Douglas from the University of Glasgow added.4．Why did researchers want to teach parrots to make video calls?A．To assess the effects of video calls on animals.B．To train parrots’ communication skills.C．To help get pet parrots out of bad moods.D．To improve the relationships between parrots.5．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The subjects of the experiment.B．The procedures of the experiment.C．Caregivers’ role in the experiment.D．The significance of the experiment.6．Why is a pet owner’s statement mentioned in the passage?A．To indicate video calls saved his parrot’s life.B．To show pet parrots like video calls very much.C．To show pet owners are satisfied with the study.D．To illustrate the study produced positive results.7．What is the difference between this study and previous ones?A．It uses the Internet technology.B．It enhances human-animal interaction. C．It satisfies pet owners’ needs.D．It focuses on animals’ needs.Benedict Morelli, one of New York’s top-rated lawyers, owns Morelli Law Firm, which has offices, lawyers, cases and experts all over the country. Benedict Morelli and his team of experienced lawyers are expert at handling a wide variety of cases, from auto and truck accidents, to construction injuries, to complex employment discrimination.One critical reason for their success is that unlike many firms, Morelli Law has the experience, patience, and resources to pursue all difficult cases. Since founding the firm, Mr. Morelli and his team have successfully dealt with an impressive list of outstanding cases in the industry. In fact, they have delivered more than a billion dollars on behalf of their clients. Impressive firm results include a $95 million settlement in a sexual discrimination case involving Aaron’s Inc., as well as a $62 million settlement for Mark Perez, a construction worker who fell from a roof and suffered a brain injury.When asked whether they would feel afraid when facing difficult opponents in court, “At my core, I’m a trial lawyer,” said Benedict Morelli. “Because of our experience and accomplishments in the courtroom, our opponents know that we’re prepared to pursue thebest result possible. Going to trial does not intimidate us.”The firm is devoted to realizing its clients’ goals both inside and outside of the courtroom. For example, in a drunk driving case, the firm worked with the client to strengthen New York laws that punish drunk drivers. This effort has made it easier for lawyers in New York to charge drunk drivers. Moreover, Mr. Moreli and his team are also committed to helping those who have been wronged achieve the justice they deserve, no matter the difficulty of the circumstances.Corporations are powerful actors in society and Mr. Morelli and his team feel fortunate to be in a position to provide the highest level of service to their clients.8．What contributes to Morelli Law Firm’s success?A．Talents, Strategies and funds.B．Attitude, passion and resolution.C．Experience, patience and resources.D．Management, devotion and knowledge.9．What does the underlined word “intimidate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Scare.B．Threaten.C．Benefit.D．Excite. 10．What can we learn about the company Morelli Law Firm?A．It has made more than a billion dollars from their clients.B．It focuses mainly on bringing justice to the wrongful cases.C．It aims to help clients obtain good outcomes in and out of court.D．It works with New York to pass laws on banning drinking alcohol.11．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Morelli Law Firm B．A top-rated lawyerC．Morelli and his cases D．Corporations in societyHospice (临终安养院) services benefit only about one person in three who dies in the US. “There are still over one million Americans who die each year without receiving hospice services,” according to a report produced in 2003. And for most who do get hospice care, their time in hospice is so short that staff members often lack the opportunity to provide the best care for their physical and emotional needs.There are several reasons that more patients do not go into hospice care earlier. One is that Medicare (医疗保险) doesn’t cover the cost of patients’ life-extending treatment if theyenter hospice. Medicare also requires that the doctor referring someone for hospice care must declare that the patient is expected to die within six months. As a result, some doctors hesitate about making an early referral to avoid being accused of cheating. Finally, there are simply not enough hospice centers and services available to meet the needs of dying patients throughout the country.Many patients still have some concern over how hospice works. The philosophy of hospice is to neither accelerate nor postpone death. As Dr. Matt Kestenbaum, a hospice director, put it: “We let nature take its course, and we give patients all the things they need to be comfortable.”Dying “naturally” in hospice does not deny patients the treatment for common diseases like blood clots. Hospice expenses are automatically covered by Medicare and most insurers provide hospice coverage as well.Choosing hospice care does not mean patients lose the services of their personal doctors. They can return to regular insurance benefits when they leave hospice care because their condition improves or they want a therapy the hospice does not provide.One thing bothering doctors is that patients will lose hope if they go into hospice. But the goal should be to refocus hope on what might be realistically achieved in the time remaining. A patient who enters hospice can have the opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends and settle unfinished business.12．Why don’t many patients go to hospice earlier?A．Because patients have to stay in hospice for a long time.B．Because Medicare requirements aren’t in favor of hospice.C．Because doctors can’t predict how long patients will live.D．Because most hospice services are far away from patients.13．What is the aim of hospice services?A．To extend patients’ life.B．To ease patients’ sufferings.C．To reduce patients’ costs.D．To settle patients’ business. 14．What concern might patients have about entering hospice?A．They will lose treatment for common diseases.B．Hospice can’t provide the treatment they need.C．Doctors may give them unrealistic hope.D．They will be separated from their family.15．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．To criticize America’s Medicare system.B．To explain why hospice is unpopular.C．To introduce the way hospice works.D．To popularize hospice services.二、七选五Nowadays, many of us are finding ourselves tired out, struggling to build balance backprovide a range of benefits including reducing anxiety, easing mental tiredness and refreshing us.

Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.Jonathan Harrington, a professor at G ermany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year. ”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’.And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’. ”The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to theCommonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch.

Mr. John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital he just could not refuse.He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole.“It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea — too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.下载文档。

（英语）高三英语试卷英语阅读理解(教育文化)题分类汇编及解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose(故意地). But these are simple ways to deal with sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school has to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.（1）A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may .A.care nothing about itB.do something uncool on purposeC.develop a sense of angerD.pretend to get hurt very much（2）A teacher can help an unpopular child by .A.seeing the child as the teacher's favouriteB.asking the child to do something for partnersC.forcing other children to make friends with the childD.offering the child chances to show his good qualities（3）How can parents help their child fit in better?A.By taking him to have picnics in the park.B.By being kind to his schoolmates.C.By forcing him to invite friends home.D.By cooking delicious food for him.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了在学校里的老师及在家里的父母都可以做很多事情来让不受欢迎的孩子受到欢迎。

九省联考2024届高三新高考适应性测试英语试卷(附答案版）学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW's Coe LibraryA first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1."Wonderland Illustrated" will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year's 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art."We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davis, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary," says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. "This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections."One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge's Yellowstone National Park" from 1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird's-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.1．How long will the exhibition "Wonderland Illustrated" last?A. Two weeks.B.Three months.C. Four months.D. One year.2．What is a purpose of the exhibition?A. To remember a famous artist.B. To raise fund for Coe Library.C. To mark the anniversary of a national park.D. To tell the history of the University of Wyoming.3．What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed?A.It is rare in the world.B. It is in black and white.C. It is printed on cloth.D. It is owned by a professor.Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators(捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots' behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground; membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively(本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose(吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.4．What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A. Living in a group.B. Growing beautiful feathers.C.Feeding on the ground.D. Avoiding coming out at night.5．What is parrots' first response to an immediate risk?A. To attack back.B. To get away.C. To protect the young.D. To play dead.6．Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A. It may explode suddenly.B. It may be in a strange shape.C. It may have a strong color.D. It may move around quickly.7．What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To explain wild parrots' behavior.B. To give advice on raising a parrot.C. To call for action to protect animals.D. To introduce a study on bird ecology.In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: "I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument—and that is to avoid it." This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives—and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal(言语的)fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions—like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate(阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections(异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.These tools can help you win every argument—not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other—then we change the very nature of what it means to "win" an argument.8．What is the author's attitude toward Carnegie's understanding of argument?A. Critical.B. Supportive.C. Tolerant.D. Uncertain.9．Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A. They lack debating skills.B.They may feel bad even if they win.C.They fear being ignored.D. They are not confident in themselves. 10．What does the underlined phrase "spell out" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Defend.B. Explain.C. Conclude.D. Repeat.11．What is the key to "winning" an argument according to the author?A. Sense of logic.B. Solid supporting evidence.C. Proper manners.D. Understanding from both sides.For lots of kids, toddlerhood(幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying "I like you" during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend's behavior.This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.Begin by helping your child learn sympathy ("Ben is crying. What's making him so sad?"), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.").Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It's also important to be mindful of how your child's personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they're sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they're refreshed.12．What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates' behavior?A.

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.（1）The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A.the right amount of atmosphereB.our own solar systemC.steady heat and lightD.the right distance from the sun（2）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.（3）What kind of planet might NOT support life?A.Most of the planets of the stars.B.Stars similar to our sun.C.Planets similar to the earth.D.Planets with proper conditions.（4）At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A.it is impossible for life to exist on planetsB.earthlike life could only exist on a few planetsC.life could exist on only one planet in a millionD.life could exist on a great number of planets【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的，物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。

江苏省如皋中学2022-2023学年高三4月阶段测试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________2．Which equipment promises to improve work efficiency?A．Stability Cushion and Fitness Tracker.B．Stability Cushion and Balance Ball Chair.C．Under-desk Elliptical and Fitness Tracker.D．Under-desk Elliptical and Balance Ball Chair.3．What may be the problem of Fitness Tracker?A．It wears out easily over time.B．It may fail to get linked at times.C．It offers few personalized choices.D．It doesn’t allow the use of other apps.Well, well, well. It looks like robots are now coming for our beloved furry friends. According to a new study, animal robots may be just as effective, if not better, at providing therapeutic (治疗的) benefits to children as real pets. As someone who has both interacted with real dogs and robots, I can tell you that this is quite a bold claim.Sure, robots may have some benefits over real dogs. They can work for longer hours and won’t cause allergies (过敏) or pass on diseases. But can a robot give you that wet-nosed,tail-wagging, slobber-filled experience that a real dog can? I think not.Now, I’m not saying that robots don’t have their place in therapy. In fact, I can see how an animal robot could be helpful in certain situations where a real dog might not be possible. But let’s not go replacing all the good boys and girls with robots just yet.As for the study, it’s interesting to see that while the kids said they loved real-life dogs better, they actually spent more time interacting with the robot. I can only imagine that it was doing some pretty impressive tricks, some robot dance or robot jokes maybe, to hold the kids’ attention for that long.In all seriousness, though, I do think it’s important to consider the welfare of therapy dogs. Visiting hospitals can be stressful and tiring for them, and we should be exploring all options to make therapy experiences as positive and enjoyable as possible for both the animals and the patients.So, while I may not be ready to trade in my furry friends for robots just yes, I am open to the idea of introducing animal robots into therapy programs. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll all have our own personal robot pets that can provide us with just as much love and companionship as the real thing. But until then, I’ll stick with my trusty furry friends. 4．What is the text?A．A response to a recent study.B．A summary of a scientific study.C．A news report of a new invention.D．A review on a medical experiment. 5．What does the writer mean by saying “this is quite a bold claim” in paragraph 1? A．The new study is quite a breakthrough.B．His personal experience supports the study. C．Robots have no therapeutic benefits to children.D．Robots cannot replace real pets at present stage.6．Which of the following is a finding of the new study?A．The kids preferred robot pets to real dogs.B．Robots kept the kids’ interest for a longer time.C．The kids’ concentration was effectively improved.D．Robots had more tricks to impress kids than real dogs.7．Why is the author open to the idea of using robots in therapy?A．They can share some of therapy pets’ work.B．They can guarantee the welfare of therapy pets.C．They provide us with just as much love as real pets.D．They are better at releasing patients’ stress and tiredness.The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local communities.Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction, and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden.Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Color,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words — and what can only be called the thoughts — were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”.Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.12．Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?A．A bird with a small brain was needed.B．She wanted a very smart bird for her study. C．A research subject should be randomly chosen.D．The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.13．What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?A．Innovative.B．Practical.C．Costly.D．Fruitless. 14．Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on? A．Understanding concepts.B．Calculating.C．Recognizing voices.D．Creating English words.15．What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?A．Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.B．Alex was sometimes too clever to control. C．Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.D．She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.二、七选五G．Buildings that fulfill these criteria offer both peace of mind and beauty for their users.28．A．suitable B．eager C．grateful D．hopeful 29．A．asked B．walked C．invited D．introduced 30．A．annoyance B．amazement C．concern D．disappointment 31．A．Give B．Accept C．Mind D．Follow 32．A．criticizing B．kidding C．disturbing D．interfering 33．A．curious B．frightened C．unbelievable D．regretful 34．A．expressions B．moments C．possessions D．chances 35．A．immediately B．constantly C．unexpectedly D．apparently四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、开放性作文46．为庆祝4月20日中文语言日，你校举办了主题活动。

⾼三英语阅读理解专项训练100（附答案）含解析⾼三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析⼀、⾼中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it. The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．（1）What do we know about placebo according to the passage?A. It contains some sort of medicine.B. It won't function if you are negative about medicine.C. People who don't believe placebo can't be healed by it.D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.（2）Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A. The patient needs help badly．B. The patient believes in the doctor．C. The doctor knows better about your body．D. The doctor has carefully studied medicine．（3）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The placebo.B. The bad effect.C. The body.D. The medicine.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A. Placebo：Work on Your MindB. Placebo：The Most Powerful MedicineC. Placebo：The Best DoctorD. Placebo：Heal Your Body【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本⽂是⼀篇说明⽂，有时候病⼈的病并不是需要真正的药物来医治，⽽是需要医⽣开⼀些安慰的药剂，安慰病⼈的⼼理使病⼈的情绪得到舒缓，从⽽有利于病情的痊愈。

2023高考英语I卷阅读B篇解析BWhen John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around hishouse, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to cleanup the messes people were making.当约翰·托德还是个孩子的时候，他喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。

例如，小溪在流经植物和微小生物生活的岩石后，往往会变得清澈。

当他长大后，约翰开始寻思这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的废物。

After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With theright combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.在大学里学习了农业、医学和渔业之后，约翰又开始观察大自然并提出问题。
