2020年高考英语复习：七选五阅读专项练习题10篇AIn the middle of the Pacific Ocean lies the tiny island nation of Tuvalu，the fourth smallest country in the world. This group of four islands and five atolls (islands made from coral) is famous for its sandy beaches and turquoise (蓝绿色的) waters and has long been a popular tourist destination for nearby New Zealanders. However, the nation of Tuvalu is at risk of soon no longer existing; not because of war or political change, but because it will be covered by the rising ocean.Tuvalu is experiencing the harmful effects of global warming. As global temperatures rise, so does the ocean temperature. Due to the scientific law of “thermal expansion,” when water heats it get bigger. 1．Most experts claim that the effects of climate change will make Tuvalu uninhabitable within the next 50 years. Problems are already emerging. As sea levels rise, ocean water containing high levels of salt is travelling further and further inland destroying the little amount of soil Tuvaluans have to grow crops.Even before Tuvaluans began to suffer from the effects of climate change, lift on Tuvalu was tough. 2．Most of the land on an atoll is rock-hard arid any soil that exists on it is usually thin and poor for growing crops. The nation has always had to import food apart from fish.More serious than Tuvalu’s lack of home-grown food has been its lack of drinking water.3．Therefore, Tuvaluans depend almost entirely on rainwater for their water needs. Unfortunately, due to a geographical phenomenon known as La Nina, Tuvalu often suffers from long periods of drought. In autumn 2010, after seven months of no rain, the Prime Minister had to declare a state of emergency riot only because of a lack of drinking water, but also because the water left was polluted with cholera (霍乱) 4．_____ Tuvalu’s problems have led some of its 11, 000 inhabitants to consider migrating to Australia or New Zealand.5．They know they’ll have to someday, but for as long as possible, they want to remain and make the world aware of what is happening to their homeland due to chimate change.BNewton's law of motion, where every action has a reaction, is appropriate not just to physics. 6．from the value of products and prices of produces to customer choices, advertising affects society and plays an important role in increasing business sales.7．When companies use advertising, sales increase, according to Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, founder of a French advertising company. The increase in business sales also promotes the quality of life for consumers. Basically, advertising causes a chain reaction that increases the economy of the area where the product or service ad is.8．In the minds of consumers, advertising can add value to a product. The image or brand that advertising helps to create becomes a part of the product, which is what makes one product brand more valuable than the competitors. This is why a consumer may be willing to pay a higher price for a name brand product rather than buy a brand they are not familiar with at a lower cost.Pricing. 9．It spurs （促进）a sense of competition. When one company advertises a product for its price, its competitors want to stay competitive. Then they may lower their prices to meet the competition.Consumer choice. Advertising also has an influence on businesses because it leads to the creation of new products and improvement of existing products to meet consumers' needs. 10．However, when advertising introduces a new product that is better than the existing one. market share can quickly shift to the company offering the newly-advertised product.CPut on new set of gasses for a new viewToday I visited San Francisco’s modern-art museum. I was there to see a new exhibit about spaceflight.11．I like to “visit” this particular painting every time I go to the museum not only because it evokes（唤起）strong feelings, but because I always find something new.There's real pleasure to be found in revisiting a museum replaying a game or rewatching a movie. Some of that enjoyment comes from the feeling of familiarity of course.12．.There’s always plenty more to see, hear, taste, smell, feel, of understand the second or third time around. But how do you discover the exciting new thing in the familiar?One way is approaching whatever task is at hand by searching for the things that you didn't see in the first time around. First, recognize that everything is always changing.13．Second, remove judgment from the experience, if possible, and just observe what's new. For example, look for the ways in which a change in your neighborhood is interesting or exciting.14．That could mean removing sugar, coffee, a certain kind of media from your life for a specified time. Once the break is over, that same thing will have more of its former interest or excitement.15．So is true that novelty is fun, but given enough of a break in between, repeated experiences regain that initial excitement.DThings to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in LifeThese behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.Keep learning new things.Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another. 16．Exercise regularly.Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain health. 17．Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy lifestyle.Socialize and have fun!Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engagingin new pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with an opportunity to feel appreciated, enjoy life, laugh, and have fun. 18．Be health conscious.It is important for us to take control of our health and understand that we are in charge of managing of our bodies. 19．Once we establish our own role in the management of our health, the importance of a close and trusting relationship with our physician becomes apparent.Slow down and appreciate the silence.20．Our brains require time to process information more deeply, in order to gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being. Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress reduction, and a more fulfilling life.Studies have shown a relationship between spirituality and the immune system. As we continually learn more about the potential of positive thoughts to influence health, people are beginning to integrate these practices more frequently into their daily lives, and experiencing life-changing results.ESchool phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.21．Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying, an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.22．Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. As soon as school phobia is identified, parents should take action too.23．, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school.24．If bullying in school is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available. Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies. 25．Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.FFinancial Education-Awareness DilemmaWhen it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. 26．Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2% per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102,or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.27．The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degreeof financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. 28．On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. 29．What is the solution? 30．Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, whichwill keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.GFew things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party. Rejection means having your actions criticized. Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea. Every "no" indicates a door closed to you. 31．Developing your self-confidence is key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. 32．Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.Rejection will enhance whatever negative things you say to yourself. Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected, but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are. 33．Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down.34．Instead, they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength. They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context. Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience. It also involves learning and growing from negative voice.35．You can feel the pain as you like, crying or locking yourself in, but don't let it become a long-term visitor. It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively.HAs is often the case, when we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often make a decision: “I’m going to bed earlier tomorrow!” we are so determined. 36．We are still absorbed in what we are doing without realizing it is already too late the next day. This behavior is called “bedtime procrastination” (睡眠拖延症), and results from lack of self-control and our body clock.37．According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule, delaying it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime because they couldn’t stop doing other trivial things (琐事), which were keeping them up in the first place.People who generally have trouble resisting temptations and following their intentions firmly are also more likely to delay going to bed. They find it hard to control themselves. 38．Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime. Those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning. Night owls would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. 39．Therefore, if we want to cure our bedtime procrastination, the intention to go to bed earlier is not enough. 40．We should have a clear understanding that bedtime procrastination is a big problem. The choices we make could turn out to be pretty important for our health.IJohannes Gutenberg-The pioneer of the printing pressJohannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media. You may not be familiar with him. 41．Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.42．Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.43．That means that each copy of the Catholic bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by 10 penmen. Gutenberg fashioned a font（K）of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, Heinvented the variable-width mode and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.44．Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin bible, Gutenberg thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a Calendar and a paper Letter of Indulgence The Bible or 42 lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.The discovery of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered45．Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information and for the pleasure of reading literature.JThis summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity. Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie.46．It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories, and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together. 47．Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal connection with people all around the world.In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public opinion of the profession. 48．“Those scientists in general were described as warmer, but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them self-centered or thinkthey take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a duck-faced (嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”49．Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection. You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 50．参考答案A篇：1．E2．B3．C4．A5．FB篇：6．G7．C8．A9．D10．FC篇：11．D12．E13．F14．G15．CD篇：16．C17．A18．E19．D20．GE篇：21．D22．G23．E24．C25．A F篇：26．B27．D28．F29．G30．AG篇：31．E32．B33．C34．G35．D H篇：36．D37．A38．C39．E40．F I篇：41．F42．D43．B44．G45．A J篇：46．B47．D48．G49．E50．A。

Stay loose and free.2 Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won't work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 3 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle — as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 4 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 5 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.C. The second draft of the essay should be better.D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.E.

What's the weather like? Whatdoes the air smell like? What are you doing while you're there? How does being there make you feel? You'll instantly feel calmer, lost in the daydream or the memory of your happy place.We can make our situations worse by keeping thinking about negative thoughts. 3 " Bad things always happen to me, " becomes "What lesson can I learn from this situation?" "I wasted the whole day," becomes "I still have 5 more hours left to make today a great day!"Whether it is going for a coffee at your favorite cafe, or catching a movie in the theatre, make sure that once a week you schedule some "me" time. 4 That may mean getting less done during the day, but you deserve to take a mental break, regularly.

I had always described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but as soon as I stepped foot on the continent, I immediately knew I needed to return.1 About 50% of the passengers of our expedition (远征) had been to Antarctica at least once before. This goes to show just how magical of a destination it is.That all your senses will be stimulated is the best way I can describe the time on the white continent. How tiny you feel next to towering glaciers and icebergs! The icy water moving through your body as you take the infamous Polar Plunge. The learning of heart-touching stories of survival from explorers of the past. 2Antarctica makes you feel so small and insignificant, in the best way. 3 You get front row seats to witness the most incredible show: nature. It is as much beautiful as cruel. For example, when you see a brown skua (贼鸥) attacking a penguin chick, your heart aches. Then your expedition guide regretfully tells you that a chick that is small in March wouldhave very slim chances of surviving the upcoming winter. The cycle continues, and you're left wondering who to root for.Things move fast in Antarctica, and every month offers something really unique and special to see. In March, the weather is a bit more unpredictable, and the sea ice is beginning to form again. 4 In two more weeks, expedition ships would not be able to break through the ice.The penguins are completing their yearly feather-changing process. 5 The expedition team made sure we kept our distance and did not scare them into hiding under freezing water.These animals, arguably the cutest you will ever see, survive such unfavorable environments.

Try to avoid drinks that contain caffeine, a chemical substance, because that will cause you to lose water.Choose a proper time in the day to exercise. Avoid the hottest time of the day — between 11 am and 3 pm. 3 Also take care to watch the weather and avoid exercising when humidity (湿度) is high.Dress for the heat. Make sure you wear light breathable clothing before working out in the heat. Some materials like nylon easily absorb sweat and evaporate it much better than cotton. 4 If you become very hot, pour cold water into your hat to help you feel cooler.5 Remember to use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher and apply it every two hours or after you work up a sweat.

This reminded me of my seventh grade musical — "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". I desperately wanted to play the role of Becky, the female lead who was Tom's girlfriend. 1For starters, Becky had to sing numerous solos, and I couldn't carry a tune. I also didn't have long blonde curls like pretty Linda Wright who won the part.I was assigned the non-singing role of Miss Watson, the maid. I had to wear an ugly dress. And I had only one line to learn, " That's what I say. " 2 Miss Watson was onstage in quite a few scenes, and got to repeat. "That's what I say" throughout the play.At last, our production was put onstage. Imagine my surprise when Miss Watson made the audience laugh out loud each time I piped up with "That's what I say". I hadn't known that she — or I — could be funny, or that her character was important in moving the plot along. 3That night, I began to understand that being the star may not be any more fun than being a standout in a supporting role. Each person, onstage and backstage, is essential in theater. Without everyone doing their part, the play would be dull as dishwater. 4 If everyone is a star then nothing gets done. It's all noise and chaos.And so I believe all children should get the opportunity to play Miss Watson, to become someone they didn't know they wanted to be. 5A. So it is in life.B.

But that night a feeling of doubt and uncertainty entered her head. 1 Will the others be cheaper?We've all found ourselves in such situations, whether we're considering job offers or buying a new car. It's a problem that involves mathematics and psychology. And it's got a name: the optimal (最优的) stopping problem. 2 It's askinghow long we spend sampling options to give the optimal chances of a successful final decision.Mathematicians have given us an answer: 37%. The basic idea is that, if we need to make a decision from 100 different options, we should sample and give up the first 37. 3 It's a period during which we identify what works and what does not. From the rejected 37%, we choose the best and keep that information in our heads moving forward.Mathematics offers us the best answer to the " optimal stopping problem". But there's just one big issue: Humans are not rational(基于理性的)probability-calculating machines. In fact, the opposite is usually true. 4 In the psychological and economics field, there is an " explore/ exploit trade-off (探索/利用权衡)".This asks whether we should go with a guaranteed "win " ( exploit) or risk going somewhere else for an unknown outcome (explore). The degree to which someone will explore or exploit depends on various factors. 5 Of course, different people are more exploitative or exploitative at different times. Teenagers and traders tend to explore more. Adults and managers exploit more.A. What if the next house is better?B. How much does it cost a month?C. The 37% rule is not some mindless, automatic thing.D. And it ties in with how curious or risk-seeking we are.E. It's then necessary for us to improve our computing power.F.

Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液) into your skin. Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins in it, some of which our body recognizes as foreign things, and our immune cells spring into action to try to fight them. 2 It's actually the body's response to the foreign mosquito proteins it is trying to fight. That's why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign proteins, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?"Don't scratch" is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching inflames(使更棘手)the skin, and the inflammation makes the skin itch more. 3 ,”warned DanielMarkowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association, adding that in extreme cases, people can scar themselves.Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedies (疗法). Choosing what's right for you can often come down to trial and error. In general, all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar. There is no scientific evidence that these remedies work, and they can come with their own precautions or side effects. 4 5Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes, although in practice it is rare, V osshall said.

If you choose a desert cactus (仙人掌) as your starter plant, that's fine. 2 That you see a particular species everywhere doesn't mean it's an easy plant to grow. It may be everywhere because it's easy to reproduce in a greenhouse, not at home. Some houseplants that are easy to care for include sweet flag, bamboo, spider plants, etc.3 With too little light, plants will produce small-sized leaves and become leggy. And too much light can result in plants with burn marks and dry leaves. Therefore, you should know what plants need what light and ensure them the right light.Plants also need water to grow. The amount of water plants need depends on the type of the plant.Understanding whateach plant needs will help you water it properly. 4 Even the same species in the same situation in different pots may need water at different times. Treat each plant as an individual.And don't forget fertilizer (肥料). It's important for the growth and development of the plants.

Remember, this is only one opportunity, and there will be more.3Once you've spent some time reviewing the interview, ask yourself if there is anything you can learn from your mistakes. Did the interview go poorly because you were late? Were you too stressed? Did you give a wrong answer to a common interview question? 4 You can prepare better for your next interview.Request a second chance.No one wants to ruin an interview, but employers are humans too and understand that people have bad days. If you think you've blown an interview, don't just give up.

You can use it to move between the different controls.The touch screen is a single system for many controls in your car. So simple? Actually, not simple at all, 2 It will always be more challenging to use. It will likely take more time to use for each function.Worse still, the touch screen mayalso put you at greater risk of being in an accident.In a car with buttons and other physical controls, you can often perform the same tasks without looking. 3 And you most likely receive physical feedback (反馈) through your fingers letting you know you've succeeded. Buttons are probably faster than touch screens. With a button, you reach over and easily get your fingers on it.4 They may be effective, but many also require multiple attempts to work.

Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens. 46 Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a0.64-point higher depression score.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic.47There’s one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together, it’s not necessarily true that one causes the other. 48 For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.49 If you think that we shouldn’t paint social media with one broad brush（一刀切）, you’re on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It’s also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it’s safe to say that at least we shouldn’t write off（注销；抹杀）social media altogether. 50 Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch（拐杖；支柱）for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A.It’s the same with social media.B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.G.For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn’t mean social media use causes depression.北京市海淀区2021届高三二模第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高考英语专题针对性练习-《七选五》AYou're growing up.That means you're probably experiencing lots of changes，all at once.Your body is changing.It might even seem as if your entire self is changing.It can be confusing and even scary. 1 And it's good!Growing up means that you can do more，learn more，and start to make your mark on the world.In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow.Hormone levels change constantly，rising and falling.2 But it's partly to blame for intense emotions，surprising reactions，and mood swings.Because of the way your brain develops，it is somewhat ruled by emotions now and through your teen years.As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster！ 3●Take care of yourself.If you eat right，sleep enough，and get good exercise，your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.● 4 When you feel your moods swinging or you're upset，or confused，some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.●Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed. 5 Plus，when stuff happens during the day，you'll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react.Your body is changing.A．Take a timeout.B．But the truth is，it happens to every teen.C．Work out regularly to keep physically fit.D．This changing is needed for your body's development.E．It will help you fall asleep—and start the morning right.F．Here are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.G．Usually，these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.BWant to live in a perfectly clean environment and make it shine brightly？ 1 Thenyou will not need to purchase expensive cleaning products.Clean the toilet with Coke.It's amazing how powerful Coke might be as a toilet cleaner. 2 You'll save your health by not consuming chemicals that Coke contains and save money by not purchasing professional cleaners.Pour some cola over the stains and leave it all for a few hours.Then let water wash the toilet!Remove water stains with orange peels.You've just eaten an orange. 3 Do not throw away those orange peels. You can use the skins to clean stainless steel.Your appliances will shine again after you rub(擦)them with the skins.The peels can easily make those stubborn stains disappear in a second.Use banana peels to polish leather furniture.Experts claim that banana peels are great for polishing leather sofas and armchairs.Banana skins are rich in oils and have the right texture to do the task. 4 Afterwards，remove the leftover with a cloth.This trick is simple and e it if you want your leather furniture to look brand new again.5 Why would you want to buy one when you can make your own product that is ch eap and non­toxic(无毒的)? Just pour 2 liters of slightly warm water into a deep bowl.Then add 50ml white vinegar and half a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid.Shake the bowl and then fill up a plastic spray with the e it to clean

scratches.F．Instead of drinking it，use it to clean the toilet bowl.G．They are economical and safe to use on all of furniture.CThink about what you've learned from a particular rumor experience，and let it help you make sure it never happens again.Here are a few tips that will help you.1The more private information that you make public，the more ammunition(把柄)rumors will have，so be careful who you confide in(向……吐露).Try to understand where it's coming from，and why.Is the rumor meant to hurt you，or is it just a case of misinformation or exaggeration？It's important to get this information before you react to the rumor.2Resist the urge to dish it out.Have you heard the saying “Someone can dish it out，but he or she can't take it”？3 If you spread gossip and rumors about others，you might become a person who deservesa taste of his or her own medicine.Resist the urge to take revenge.If you've been the victim of gossip and rumors and you know who started spreading them，you might want to go“an eye for an eye”． 4 And taking revenge in this way might make you feel good for a short time.But in the end，it will just keep the cycle of rumors going. 5A．Be cautious about making friends.B．Be careful about your private information.C．Try to persuade more people to be on your side.D．So if you can，figure out how the rumor occurs.E．In other words，don't be the person to spread rumors.F．It's tending to make up lies or expose information that hurts others.G．And make you as much of a bully(恃强凌弱者)as any other rumor starter.DAre you having trouble concentrating when you're reading a book or listening to a lecture？This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.Make a list.We often have trouble paying attention to one thing because our brain wants to think about something else. 1 You don't worry about whatever else you should be doing.Sleep more.Studies show that people who sleep fewer than eight hours a night for a period of time have slower response systems and more difficulty recalling information. 2Eat healthier foods.Many people enjoy foods high in fats and sugars. 3 They might give you a temporary burst of energy.However，that energy is soon followed by a crash.Reduce screen time.This may be the most unpopular suggestion among young people.Screen time—time spent looking at cell phones，televisions，computer screens，has a clear effect on the attention span. 45 Concentration improves for students who participate in team sports.It could be that being active is helpful in this way.Participating in a sport trains your brain to concentrate on specific tasks，and shut out other thoughts.A．Be active.B．Practice more.C．These foods can provide enough energy for focusing.D．But these foods can't be helpful enough when it comes to focusing.E．That is bad news for teens who stay up studying the night before a test.F．Researchers advise parents to limit it when their children need to be focused.G．By writing down all the things you need to do，you'll gain a sense of control.EHow to run international meetingsAs more of us do business across cultures，it's best to prepare ahead of time before heading to the meeting table.Here are four rules for different countries.Stick to the scheduleWhere：Germany，Austria，JapanWe've all been to meetings that have a loose agenda，if any at all.They don't start on time and they seem to repeat. 1 Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting. 2 Meetings that run long in Germany are often taken to mean that the parties are not communicatingefficiently.3Where：China，Malaysia，SingaporeDebating a topic can go against the traditional Chinese concept of“saving face”，which means avoiding any mistakes or actions that could bring ughing at even an obviously amusing answer or pointing out a potential mistake can spoil the entire meeting.Enjoy the interruptionsWhere：Italy，France，SpainWhen Pascal Soboll meets with clients in Italy or Spain，he's no longer offended if they leave early or arrive late.Rather than attend the entire three­hour meeting，he has learned that his colleagues there—and in some parts of France—attend based on their own timetable.4 Rather than expect people to sit through his entire presentation，he makes it easier for them to turn up as needed.Please，no small talkWhere：Finland，SwedenIn places like Finland and Sweden，where non­meeting related discussions like chat about the weather can be regarded as a way to be off a formally­set agenda and as a waste of other people's time.In some countries，including Finland，there are long pauses in the conversation.5 These breaks are used as a way to process what the other person is saying without interrupting.A．Not so in these countries.B．Germans and Austrians are similar.C．Don't even think about a brainstorm.D．There's often no way to tell how things are going.E．Don't try to fill them，though，with small talk or anything else.F．What do the long silences，idle chit­chat and serious faces really mean in context? G．For Soboll，that means changing his own German­based expectations of clientFAs warming continues，scientists warn the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more reduced，with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life.1 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer，it can hold less dissolved(溶解的)oxygen.The other reason is less obvious.The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface—either from the atmosphere，or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 2Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter.That's because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化)of glaciers，icebergs，and ice sheets. 3 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still.4 Instead，more of the oxygen will remain near the surface，where it will be used up by oxygen­breathing organisms.A low­oxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet.A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100.They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall，until they declined by 30 percent.The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans，but even 100，000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 5A．It's not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.B．Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.C．Fresh water's inpouring will make the water at the ocean's surface lighter. D．The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks. E．Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide. F．The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.G．If they are right，we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has onGWhich is much more significant to you when you are finding a job？Working experience or an advanced degree？Well，I believe diverse people have different answers.1 Here are some reasons：Above all，most of jobs don't require such a high degree，which means just some work，such as theoretical physics，archaeology，or literature，needs high academic qualification. 2 For example，when you are offering a department manager post，and there is a man who has already been a manager for three years but only has a master's degree and an inexperienced person with a doctor's degree，which one would you choose？Definitely the first one for the manager who doesn't acquire a doctor's degree but has rich working experience.3 For instance，Bill Gates，who was the richest man in the world and one of the most successful merchants.What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he could gain more working experience instead of a doctor's degree！Or Steve Paul Jobs，who discontinued his study at the age of nineteen in order to become a member of a computer company just like Bill Gates. 45 Maybe you shouldn't have to gain an advanced or high degree，but that doesn't mean nothing.Probably a bachelor's degree is still necessary in this fiercely competitive society.All in all，I think rich working experience is much more important than an advanced degree.A．However，a degree is still required for most people.B．Meanwhile，rich working experience will draw more attention.C．Secondly，plenty of experience will bring you success much earlier.D．In my view，either working experience or an advanced degree counts.E．As for me，I will say working experience without hesitation.F．As a matter of fact，more people with rich working experience become successful. G．From all of these，we can see that an advanced degree isn't so necessary as workingHIn our fast world of phones，fax machines and computers，the old­fashioned art of letter writing is at risk of disappearing altogether. 1 There is the excitement of its arrival，the pleasure of seeing who it is from and，finally，the enjoyment of the contents.Letter writing has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.It probably began with the little notes I would write to my mother.My mother，also，always insisted I write my own thank­you letters for Christmas and birthday presents. 2When I left home at 18 to train as a doctor in London，I would write once a week，and so would my mother.Occasionally my father would write and it was always a joy to receive his long，amusing letters. 3 Of course，we also made phone calls but it is the letters that I remember most.There were also letters from my boyfriends.In my youth I seemed to attract people who had to work or study away at some time and we were only able to stay in touch by letter. 4 I found that I could often express myself more easily in writing than by talking.I love the letters that come with birthday or Christmas cards.Notes are appreciated，but how much better to have a year's supply of news！And it's better still when it's an airmail envelope with beautiful stamps.5 Like my mother before me，I insist they write their own thank­you letters.My daughter writes to me little letters，just as I did to my mother.I strongly urge readers not to allow letter writing to become another“lost art”．A．Poor handwriting can spoil(破坏)your enjoyment of a letter.B．We had been corresponding(通信)for 29 years but had never met.C．I am pleased that my children are carrying on the tradition.D．It didn't matter how short or untidy they were as long as they were letters. E．But instead of harming the relationships，letter writing seemed to improve them. F．Yet，to me，receiving a letter cannot be matched by any other form of communication.G．The letters from home contained just everyday events concerning my parents and their friends.IA garden that’s just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts?1 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.● 2Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 3 .However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.●Recall(回忆)your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to chi ldhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 4 —how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 5 . Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.A. Know why you gardenB. Find a good place for your own gardenC. It’s our experience of the garden that ma ttersD. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowersE. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plantsF. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, tooG. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you haveJEveryone knows that fish is good for health. 1 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 2 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.3 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh.4 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 5 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.A. Do not buy it.B. The easiest is to steam it.C. This is how you can do it.D. It just requires a little knowledge.E. The fish will go bad within hours.F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.KThe Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 1 Some of us enjoyactivities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring persons survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 3No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 4 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.5 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue t o hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.【语篇解读】-A本文是一篇说明文。
