And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.Is it just humans?____29____ Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages. Therefore, the difference between heat- sensing mechanisms may provide an evolutionary advantage.So how do we agree on the ideal temperature?In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. ____30____ These systems provide individualized thermal comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space.A.The skin is the first line of defence.B.They contribute to the core body and skin temperatures.C.Animals have the same system to regulate body temperature.D.They also have more fat between the skin and the muscles.E.The preference for warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans.F.Examples include desk fans, heated chairs or foot warmers.G.Researches show women prefer a higher temperature to men, however.(2022·河北·高三阶段练习)Perhaps you use your headphones to enjoy music and peace and quiet during the day.

To test things out, you should take them off your ears and extend them in your hands out in front of you. ____34____ If you are using open-back headphones, you should try to have a conversation with someone nearby.

天津市宝坻区普通高中高一七选五专题英语测试(附答案)As a senior high student, here are five things you should know before you start college.1. Every college has different rules on what you can bring.____1____ Rules vary from school to school, and you may want to hold off on buying that mini-fridge/ microwave until you make sure you can have them in your dorm.2. You might not like your roommate.For your new term, you’ll have a picked roommate. ____2____ This can be uncomfortable, but remember that with classes, you probably wo n’t be in your room anyway.3. There are tons of things to do.The last thing anyone should be worried about is being bored on campus. ____3____ They’re not hard to find, either. There are often posters all around campus for things to do and clubs to join. Some clubs even have their own social media sites, which could help you learn about the clubs. 4. ____4____In order to make sure you can graduate on time without any difficulty, it’s a good idea to decide on your courses early. But keep in mind that your plan won’t be written in stone. Many students change their majors at least once during their time in college, and this is a good thing.5. You can get good grades and have fun.A common fear when starting college is that there will be time for either studying or having fun, but not both. The truth is that with good time management it is possible to get good grades in all your classes and still have time to be in clubs and go have fun. ____5____A.Figure out when you will graduate.B.Plan out your academic career early.C.Food is an important part of the campus experience.D.Almost every college has a host of student clubs and organizations.E.If you manage your schedule well, you may even get enough sleep, too.F.You’d better check whether you can bring you r items before you move in.G.While it’s possible that you will be the best friends, you might not get along.The following are three simple language-learning exercises you can add to your dailyplan.____6____Learning a language doesn’t happen overnight. So even short, simple exercises are an important step to help you explore a language more deeply.Choose a word of the day. The idea of a word of the day as a language-learning exercise is a little out of date. It brings to mind the kind of person who would use a word in a sentence many times a day.____7____Collect and explore synonyms (近义词).When you’re learning a new language, it’s important to pay attention to those words having a similar meaning but used in different ways.____8____A good dictionary will give you some tips about the synonyms, but the best way to learn how to use similar words is to listen to other speakers and take note.____9____This exercise can work in either direction. If you see or hear something in the language you’re learning, make sure to try to bring it into the language you’re using.____10____Actually write out these translations so as to check them against another translation.A.Translate what you see and hear around you.B.Find the reasons behind patterns you observe.C.There’s another benefit that makes it important.D.You can adapt them in any way that works best for you.E.But focusing on just one word a day can really be very useful.F.And surely any text you see in your native language can be translated.G.For example, “big” and “vast” are synonyms, but you wouldn’t talk about a “vast dog.”It is said that honesty is the best policy. But we’re constantly disturbed by lies. Why is it important for us to avoid lying in turn? ___11___Being honest is easier than lying. Have you ever told a lie and then forgotten the details about it? Sure, you may have been able to be safe for the time being, but lies have to be maintained with even larger lies. ___12___You will be found out if you lie. ___13___ Your kids’ hamster dies and y ou say that it has run away. Ten years later they accidentally dig it up in the backyard and they’ll realize that you have lied. Trust in the fact that the truth always finds a way to rise to the surface.The worst truth is better than the best lie. Sometimes a lie can cause much more worries, like telling kids that their grandmother “went to sleep” instead of letting them know that she had died. If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.___14___ I f someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again. Even if you spend the rest of your life sticking with honesty, the person you’ve lied to won’t ever have true faith in you again. There’s no such thing as a goo d lie. ___15___A.Here are some reasons why reality may be cruel.B.If you stick with the truth, you’ll always respond the same way.C.The lie that you tell will unavoidably come back around to bite you.D.You’ll have a hard time keeping track of it.E.Once trust is broken, it can never be fully regained.F.However perfect your lie is, someone will find out about it eventually.G.Let’s take a look at a few reasons why being honest is preferable to lying.There was a survey of the people who were born from 1980 to 2000, asking them what their most important life goals were. Over 80 percent said it was to get rich. ___16___ We're constantly told to devote more to our work, to push harder and to achieve more. We're given the impression that these are the things that we need to go after to have a good life. But is that the truth ___17___But what if we could study people from the time when they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy? The Harvard Study of Adult Development did it. For 75 years, they've tracked the lives of 724 men. Studies like this are extremely rare. Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study.___18___ Or the researchers can't get together. But through a combination of luck and the persistence of several generations of researchers, this study has survived.So what have they learned? The conclusion is that it's not wealth or fame that counts.___19___ They've learned three big lessons about relationships. Firstly, people who are more socially connected to family, to friends and to community are happier and physically healthier. The second is that it's not just the number of friends you have but the quality of your close relationships that matters. And the third is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies.___20___A.They can even protect our brains.B.To become famous came second.C.Or funding for the research dries up.D.The good life is built with relationships.E.It turns out that being in conflict is bad for our health.F.It is good relationships that keep us happier and healthier.G.To be frank, sometimes wealth and fame can make people happy.Celebrating the harvest around the worldA harvest festival is a celebration of the fall months and the harvest that often accompanies these months.___21___CanadaIn Canada, people celebrate their harvest on Thanksgiving. ___22___ The English explorer Martin Frobisher (1535-1594) came upon the land, searching for the "New World". As he arrived in Canada in 1578, he celebrated surviving the long journey by holding a formal celebration and eating salt beef and peas.Today, it has become a recognized holiday in the country that falls on the second Monday in October. ___23___ One of the highlights (高潮) of the holiday is a big Thanksgiving Day meal, which usually includes turkey and breads, which are prepared and presented in a unique Canadian way.United KingdomHarvest festival activities are considered a special time for communities to come together in celebration. The harvest festival may start with carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables to a local church where people sing praise songs for a healthy harvest while praying for future harvests.___24___ Large dinners may also be hosted where eache member brings a special dish to share with each other.ChinaIn 2018, the Farmers' Harvest Festival was launched in China. It's held on the day of the autumn equinox (秋分), which falls roughly on Sept 22 or 23. ___25___ In Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, farmers brought 100 seed varieties to the main site of the ceremony in Hanhu district and placed them in a wall to mark the achievements of the seed industry. In Heilongjiang province, the festival was combined with local traditions of the Daur people and the locals danced around bonfires.A.This tradition is said to date back to the 16th century.B.Every year, a range of events are organized nationwide.C.These celebrations typically involve dancing and singing.D.The foods often found at this festival are turkey and bread.E.Many countries celebrate harvest festivals in different forms.F.A special effort may be made to give food to the less fortunate.G.On Thanksgiving, most return home to gather with their family.Be Slightly FunnierHow would you feel if a colleague suggested you take a comedy class to improve your sense of humor? I felt embarrassed.At home that evening, I asked my other half whether he thinks I'm funny. ___26___ . "Of course you are," they all ensured me. What else could they say? And anyway, I'd already made up my mind. Some people just aren't funny, and I'm one of them.Yet, according to Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas-authors of the book Humor, Seriously and experts on the subject, humor is not something you are born with or without. ___27___ . What's more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity and makes us more likable. It helps in any life situation.This undoubtedly explains why future masters of the universe are eagerly signing up for the humor course Aaker and Bagdonas teach at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. They agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones, too.___28___ . As you would hope, they are very amusing. They begin by sending me a questionnaire about what I find funny, what I don't, and how I attempt to make others laugh. The results will apparently reveal my humor type.In our first call, Aaker, a social psychologist (心理学家), explains that many of us leave humor behind when we arrive at adulthood: A four-year-old laughs up to 300 times a day. ___29___ . Next, we discuss the common misunderstandings that stop many of us in our comedy tracks. The first, Aaker says, is the belief that humor has no place in certain situations, especially at work.___30___ . However, 98 percent of top executives say they prefer employees with a sense of humor and 84 percent of bosses believe those employees do better work.A.Rather, it's a muscle you can strengthenB.Then there is the idea that it is too riskyC.We worry about not being taken seriouslyD.My first interaction with the pair is over e-mailE.Then I texted my best friend and my sister-in-lawF.But a 40-year-old takes ten weeks to laugh as muchG.It is far more important to show you have a sense of humorIce fishing is a sport about catching fish from within a frozen lake or other body of water.

必修二七选五专项训练第一篇Too often a wrong view gets around us that it is our physical conditions that make us happy or unhappy.As a result,physical conditions have been overstated.36,that is,good standard of living,high goals that we want to achieve,surrounding ourselves with a nice house,nice cars,nice clothes,etc.37.But many times once we achieve our goals and are surrounded by what we thought would make us happy,we are still unhappy.Also on the other end of the stick,many,many people are unhappy now,because they have not achieved their goals and38,which,as a result,adds to their dissatisfaction with life.So this is why so many people keep themselves for most of their lives in a state of incompleteness and unhappiness,and this is why so many super successful people still aren’t happy.The reason is that39.They think that the universe should give them what they want first and then they’ll be happy.But that just puts a barrier in between them and happiness,because of the way the universe is set up.The message here is to understand that your desires tell you where you want to put your focus in your life;however,40.You make yourself happy from the inside out.Not the outside in.Do not require certain conditions be met for your happiness,because it won’t work anyway.A.We have different ways to get what really makes us happyB.they don’t have what they want in lifeC.We set out to get happy by trying to control all the wonderful conditions around ourselvesD.they are never there to be found in lifeE.they should not control your happiness in this momentF.We may think this is the key to our happinessG.they don’t realise how to get happy第二篇Ali Crumpacker studied the photos of two bobcat(短尾猫)kittens on her computer screen.“36,”said Crumpacker,director of The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Ramona,California.It also looked like the kittens hadn’t been cleaned in a while—something a mother bobcat would do.Crumpacker decided to examine.The photos had been taken by someone who saw the kittens in his backyard.37.So he asked the centre staff to save the two bobcat kittens.Centre staff arrived at his house,set up humane(人道的)traps and then waited for the kittens to return.To their surprise,one of the kittens was already there,drinking from the pool!38.The staff hoped they would soon be on their way to recovery.More than380injured and orphaned animals like this bobcat pair came through the WildlifeCenter last year.39.“We always get them when they’re really down,”says Kim Spall,who looks after these animals.“But then to see them go back out in the wild...it’s just really beautiful.”Some animals,however,are not able to return to the wild.For them,the centre becomes a permanent shelter.40.All are cared for with love.A.They’re too young to be on their ownB.Animals are our best friends so we can’t hurt themC.Ali Crumpacker set out to photo animals in their natural habitatD.Worried that they might be orphans,he knew the Wildlife Centre could help themE.After being caught,the kittens were brought to the centre for medical examsF.Each of the animals lives in conditions as close to their natural habitat as possibleG.The staff nursed the animals back to health and prepared them for return to the wild第三篇Many countries have traditional dishes,made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way.36,and when tourists visit,these are the food they want to try.But why are some food more popular than others in certain areas?Traditional ingredientsTypical recipes(菜谱)are usually made with native plants and animal products.For example,Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot,wet areas.In contrast,wheat grows well in drier areas,like the Middle East,where bread is a common staple(主要的,基本的)food.37,whereas inland cuisines(烹饪,菜肴)tend to use more meat from farm animals.Food preservationLocal cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepare food for storage.In warm weather,meat and fish can go off quickly,so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 38,for that reason,modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked food.Cooking techniques39.In China,people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water.In Morocco,people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine.And some local dishes aren’t cooked at all.Imported(进口的)ingredientsSometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 40,while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes.However,all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.But now they arecommon around the world.A.Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areasB.There is a danger that local food traditions will be lostC.Many different cooking techniques are used around the worldD.For example,Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppersE.These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its cultureF.Nowadays,we can buy food products from all around the worldG.In Norway,the Vikings used to“cure”meat and fish by smoking them over a fire第四篇What is your favourite colour?Do you like yellow,orange and red?36Do you prefer gray and blue?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist.At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference,as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.37If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.38A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.39A black bridge over the Thames River,near London,used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.40It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand,black is depressing.B.They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up—we are born with our preference.C.The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.D.If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement.E.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.F.Life is like a picture or a poem,full of different colours.G.Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.第五篇Are you afraid of failure?However,only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life.Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:Understand that at times you make mistakes.36Before any of us learned how to walk,we crawled(爬行).We got up,fell down and got up again.We continued the process until we could walk quite well.37Instead,view it as a stepping stone.Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations.Refuse to consider failure a character weakness.Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.Remember that failure has produced many successes.38Albert Einstein’s teacher told him to quit school and said,“Einstein,you will never achieve anything!”Beethoven’s music teachersaid he was hopeless to become a composer.Henry Ford’s first two car companies failed.Appreciate the benefits of failure.Ralph Waldo Emerson said,“All life is an experiment.The more experiments you try,the better you make.”It’s hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries.39Believe in yourself.Rather than give up when things don’t work out,take it as a chance to build perseverance(坚持不懈).Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn’t give up.40A.Don’t take failure personally.B.Work hard and try to avoid failure.C.Realise that you are human and humans make mistakes.D.Believe that you’ve got what it takes to work through the difficult times.E.Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work.F.Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.G.In other words,your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.答案第一篇36.C37.F38.B39.G40.E第二篇36.A37.D38.E39.G40.F第三篇36.E37.A38.G39.C40.D第四篇36.D37.B38.G39.A40.E第五篇36.C37.A38.F39.G40.D。

If you do start arguing with someone.it is important to keep things under control and there are ways to do this.The most important thing: don’t raise your voice. That will just make the other person lose their temper too.____6____ Say “I’m sorry” and continue to talk calmly and quietly, and then your partner will be more ready to think about what you are saying.____7____ Try to keep to the topic you are talking about. Just concentrate on solving the one problem you are having. For example, if you’re arguing about the housework, don’t start talking about mobile phone bills as well.And my final tip is that, if necessary, you can call “Time out”, like in a sports match. If an argument is getting out of control, you can say to the other person, “listen, I’d rather talk about this tomorrow when we’ve both calmed down”. You can then continu e the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense and angry.____8____ Also, you may find the problem much easier to solve when you’ve both had a good night’s sleep.I want to say one last important thing. ____9____ This is not true. Conflict normal part of life, and dealing with it is an important part of any relationship. If you don’t learn to argue properly, then when a real problem comes along, you won’t be prepared to face it together. Think of the smallerarguments as training. Learn how to argue cleanly and fairly. ____10____A.It is also very important to stick to the point.B.Some people think that arguing is always bad.C.You may believe that arguing is impossible to avoid.D.The second thing is that you should find a good topic.E.It will help your relationship become stronger and last longer.F.You are more likely to reach an agreement when you are both calm.G.If you find yourself doing this, stop for a moment and take a deep breath.All parents know that young children are always energetic, eager to run, jump and play.
