Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 651, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus (食道). The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70℃or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic (酒精的) drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages (饮料, 酒水) at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60℃. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea drinkers in Iran and mate drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70℃.The researchers find that South Americans not only drink their mate tea very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw (吸管). This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic (致癌的).The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.(1).What might be the cause of esophageal cancer?A.Smoking.B.Alcoholic drinks.C.Unhealthy vegetables.D.Hot drinks.(2).Where do tea drinkers like adding milk?A.In China.B.In Iran.C.In Europe.D.In South Africa.(3).What does the underlined word "scalding" in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Sweet.B.Cold.C.Hot.D.Tateless.(4).Which of the following descriptions is TRUE?A.Once, the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.B.Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophageal cancer.C.Temperature should not be the cause of cancer.D.Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.BHave you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching?Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help. Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-loving felines in the northern Rocky Mountains. Scientists have been able todocument the "private" moments of wildlife with leading technology.Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his words, "there's no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife." Harris said some images help scientists see the effects of climate change.Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather from GPS. However, cameras can be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show details about animal behavior. However, wild cameras have their problems too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way.Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals.(1).What does the underlined word "document" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Remind.B.Enrich.C.Appreciate.D.Record.(2).Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras?A.They cannot be left in the wild over a long period.B.They cannot be placed in hard-to-reach areas.C.They provide limited information.D.They might be stolen by people.(3).Why do some people argue against using wild cameras?A.It is difficult to fix the cameras.B.It helps hunters find animals easily.C.It is hard to achieve careful planning.D.It makes animals interested in the cameras.(4).What is the authors attitude towards wild cameras?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Uncertain.D.Uncaring.CA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they're not so different.A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that vulturine guinea fowls of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guinea fowls are revealing the faults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度),but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting the guinea fowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that vulturine guinea fowls have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird's tiny brain size. "They don't only have small brains relative to mammals (哺乳动物);they also have quite small brains relative to other birds," he said.According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it's looking at — no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they're facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one."Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain," Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have multilevel societies as our own.(1).According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?A.The guinea fowl's social behaviour.B.Previous assumptions about birds.C.His interest in animals' brainpower.D.The faults in earlier research.(2).What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The research subjects.B.The research methods.C.The research findings.D.The research equipment.(3).What can be learned from the passage?plex social systems can be a disadvantage to guinea fowls.B.Guinea fowls are good at recognizing individuals in a group.C.Birds maintain the social order by travelling in combined groups.D.Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.(4).What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To present the findings of a study of the guinea fowl.B.To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.C.To introduce a new approach to observing the guinea fowl.D.To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.DThe Art of War is an ancient Chinese military work that was written by Sun Tzu, a high ranking military general and strategist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it is said to be the best work on military strategies and tactics (策略) of its time, and is still read for its military thoughts.The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has been the most famous and influential of China’s Seven Military Classics. For the last two thousand years it remained the most important military work in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name. It has had an influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond.Sun Tzu emphasized the importance of positioning in military strategy, and that the decision to position an army must be based on both objective (客观的) conditions in the physical environment and the subjective (主观的) beliefs of other competitive actors in that environment. He thought that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through an established list, but it required quick and correct responses to changing conditions.The book was first translated into French in 1772 by French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot, and into English by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905. Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, Baron Antoine-Henri Jomini, General Douglas MacArthur, Napoleon, and leaders of Imperial Japan drew inspiration from the work.1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?A.To introduce Sun Tzu.B.To introduce The Art of War.C.To tell us the history of wars.D.To tell us some military strategies.2.According to Sun Tzu, ______.A.to position an army is a subjective matterB.objective conditions decide a war’s victoryC.strategy means sticking to an established planD.a general should react to changing conditions3.The author lists some famous people’s names in the last paragraph to ______.A.explain the history of The Art of WarB.advise people to read The Art of WarC.show the influence of The Art of WarD.prove The Art of War is used in many fields4.What do we learn about The Art of War?A.It is applied in more than military field.B.It has a history of about 1,000 years.C.It was translated earlier into English than French.D.It contains some business management strategies.第II卷（非选择题）（每题1.5分，共60分）一、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

衡水市高考英语阅读理解试题(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That's exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人) Johnny Bobbitt, 34, did in October in Philadelphia.Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员) in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He'd used his last $20 to buy her gas.After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn't have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months' expenses. Bobbitt's story ran in a local paper. By November 15，more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.On Thanksgiving, Bobbitt was resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.（1）What does the underlined word "discreet" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.

2021届河北衡水高中英语新高考阅读理解复习专题（02）长难句理解考点分析总结（下）突破高考英语长难句在高考英语试题中，考生会遇到很多长难句，因此考生在平时的英语学习过程中必须突破长难句理解这一关，才能在高考英语中取得优异成绩。

长难句通常是作者为了表达的需要，给主句添加许多附属成分（包含非谓语形式）、并列成分和使用大量的(clauses)分句。

分句包含并列关系、主从关系和两者的结合——并列中有主从关系，主从中有并列关系（复杂分句结构）。

因此长难句的理解首先抓主干，然后找连词，分析分句之间的逻辑关系，遵循由主到从的理解顺序，把复杂的句子变成简单句来理解，难度自然就降低了。

具体方法如下：1、带有较多附属成分的简单句。

简单句的主干部分主谓（宾）可以是多个并列的主语、谓语或宾语，主谓（宾）可以有多个附属修饰成分（定语、状语和同位语等），还可能有插入语等。

如：Having chosen family television programs and women’s magazines，the tooth paste marketer，for instance，must select the exacttelevision programs and stations aswell as the specific women’s magazines to be used.【解析】在这个有30多个词的简单句中，句首用了现在分词的完成式Having chosen family television programs and women’s magazines作时间状语，动词chosen后有并列宾语family television programs and women’s magazines；the toothpaste marketer是主语，中间for instance 是插入语，must select是谓语，the exact television programs and stations aswell as the specific women’s magazines是三个并列宾语；句末不定式to be used修饰宾语the exact television programs and stations as well as the specific women’s magazines。

河北省衡水市2024-2025学年高三上学期第二次调研考试（9月月考）英语试题一、阅读理解Below are some strategies that can be employed in class to engage students in learning activities.Think — Pair — ShareThis technique is popular in the lower elementary grades to encourage speaking and listening skills. First, ask students to think about their response to a question, and then ask them to pair up with another person, usually someone nearby. The pair discuss their response, and then they share that response with a larger group.FishbowlA fishbowl is organized with two four student groups who sit facing each other in the center of the room. All the other students sit in a circle around them. Those students seated in the center discuss the question. Students on the outside circle take notes. In a variation, students on the outside may provide quick notes known as “fish food” by passing them to students on the inside for use in their discussion.Concentric CirclesOrganize students into two circles, one outside circle and one inside circle so that each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside. The teacher poses a question to the whole group. Each pair discuss how to respond. After this brief discussion, the students on the outside circle move one space to the right. This will mean each student will be part of a new pair. The teacher can have them share the results of that discussion or pose a new question.PyramidStudents begin this strategy in pairs and respond to a discussion question with a single partner. At a signal from the teacher, the first pair join another pair which creates a group of four. These groups of four share their ideas. Next, the groups of four move to form groups of eight in order to share their best ideas. This grouping can continue until the whole class is joined up in one large discussion.1．Which strategy can a teacher adopt if he doesn’t want all the students to speak?A．Think — Pair — Share.B．Fishbowl.C．Concentric Circles.D．Pyramid.2．What’s a unique aspect of Concentric Circles?A．Students change partners.B．Students respond to a question.C．Students pass notes to each other.D．Students take turns to present their ideas. 3．How does Pyramid work?A．Best ideas are collected for a presentation.B．One group combines with another with each step.C．The whole class work together to carry out a project.D．Groups of four move around the classroom to share ideas.Malonga was born in Brazzaville, Congo, where his grandmother owned a restaurant. His love for food and cooking started there. He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.In 2015, he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so. When it came time to open his own restaurant, he took a two - year tour of the African continent, seeking inspiration.He opened Meza Malonga in 2020. Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu — the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients(食材)and what’s exciting Malonga at the moment. Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali. The chefs present each course. There’s nobody yelling(大喊), “Yes chef!” and Malonga pointedly refers to “our restaurant… our menu… our project.” His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro, who says “The way we work is like we are family. You know, we don’t have pressure because we get time to think and create.”The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year. For the other four months, Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first - hand, and source unique ingredients. But it’s more driven, more intense, than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries, eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali, he brings back new flavors as souvenirs(纪念品).

This experience fired a lifelong passion for birds and conservation, leading him to specialize in ornithology and join Pronatura Península deY ucatán (PPY), an environmental conservation group in Mexico.Gomez’s work is supported by Fish and Wildlife Service grant programs that improves wetland habitats for migratory birds and promotes environmental education and research. One of Gomez’s key projects involves restoring and managing wetland habitats in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has led to the return of several species. These efforts not only support bird populations butalso reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities by improving their capacity to adapt to environmental risks.Community engagement is central to PPY’s success, with the annual Toh Festival being a key example. This festival, named after a bird of cultural significance, hosts a variety of bird-related activities from March to November, including birding marathons, photo expeditions (探险), contests, tours, and workshops. These events inspire community members to appreciate and protect the region’s rich biodiversity.As a nature photographer, Gomez approaches his work with respect for the wildlife, aiming to remain careful to avoid disturbing the birds. His photography serves a higher purpose, creating media communications that support PPY’s environmental education and community outreach initiatives. His images not only record the beauty of birds but also provide a window into their world, inspiring people to learn more about the challenges they face and the habitats they depend on.Ernesto Gomez proved to us the power of photography to inspire and educate. His work ensures that the beauty of Yucatan’s birds and habitats continues to inspire, reminding us of the vital link between people and nature.8．Where did Ernesto Gomez’s interest in ornithology come from?A．An encounter with scarlet macaws.B．A documentary on wetland conservation.C．A photography exhibition about Mexican forests.D．An educational program onenvironmental science.9．What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in paragraph 2?A．The stability of regional biodiversity.B．The quality of being weak and easily hurt.C．The capability of managing wetland habitats.D．The probability of being adaptive to environmental risks.10．What is a primary purpose of the Toh Festival?A．To raise funds for conservation projects.B．To engage people in bird-related activities.C．To promote bird - watching as a tourism activity.D．To recognize the work of nature photographers.11．How do Gomez’s photos contribute to PPY’s mission?A．By providing visual documentation for scientific research.B．By attracting birding marathoners to the Yucatan Peninsula.C．By creating media communications for environmental education.D．By encouraging people to face the challenges of environmental conservation.Albino redwoods, with their slightly shining white appearance, are a rare sight in California’s coastal forests. Despite lacking chlorophyll, which is used to photosynthesize(光合作用), these trees have managed to survive, puzzling researchers for over a century. However, a recent study by biologist Zane Moore from the University of California in Davis may have uncovered the secret to their existence.Redwoods rank among the tallest organism on earth and claim an existence of some 3,500 years. They are known for their complex root systems that allow them to communicate and share nutrients during tough times. Researchers have seen this firsthand by introducing dye to trees on one side of an area of redwoods and tracing it all the way to the further reaches. In summer, they become more independent, and those unable to sustain themselves are cut off from the shared system in the autumn needle drop.So, if albino red woods can’t photosynthesize, why are they able to stick around? Moore’s research suggests that albino redwoods survive by tapping into the communal root system and absorbing sugars from healthier neighbors. Contrary to the belief that they are parasites(寄生植物), Moore’s findings indicate a symbiotic(共生) relationship.Albino redwoods tend to grow in less healthy conditions and have been found to contain high levels of poisonous heavy metals in their leaves. Moore theorizes that these trees are not only surviving but also serving a purpose by acting as a “reservoir(水库) for poison”, thus protecting their healthier counterparts. This discovery could potentially make it possible to use albino redwoods in polluted areas to safeguard other trees.The study highlights the interconnectedness of trees and their ability to look out for one another, forming bonds and even recognizing their offspring. Moore’s research emphasizes the importance of considering the entire community of trees, rather than focusing on individuals, to understand what’s happening in the forest.12．What can be learned about redwoods?A．They depend on each other for nutrition in tough times.B．They have unusually strong roots that can reach very far.C．How they photosynthesize has puzzled researchers for long.D．How they communicate among individuals remains a secret.13．How do albino redwood s survive?A．They become parasites of other tree species.B．They rely on the fallen needles for their growth.C．They have developed an alternative method of photosynthesis.D．They absorb sugars from the root system of healthier redwoods.14．What role do albino redwood s play in the forest ecosystem?A．They transport water for the forest.B．They act as a source of food for other plants.C．They protect other redwood trees by absorbing poison.D．They are responsible for the reproduction of the redwood species.15．What’s the best title of the text?A．Albino Redwoods May be the Result of PollutionB．Albino Redwoods May Survive to Help Nearby TreesC．Symbiotic Relationship is Built among Albino RedwoodsD．Researchers Discovered Complex Root System of Albino RedwoodsMischief Night, also known by various names like Devil’s Night and Cabbage Night, is a tradition that has changed over time in the United States and Canada. Historically, Halloween pranks(恶作剧)were performed on October 31st. 16 However, by the 1920s and 1930s, these pranks changed into more serious acts of destruction, possibly due to the social tensions of the Great Depression.In an effort to deal with this destructive behavior, parents and community leaders encouraged the tradition of trick-or-treat. 17 This shift effectively moved the mischief from October 31st to October30th.The custom of Mischief Night is particularly popular in areas with a history of Irish and Scottish immigration, such as the northeastern United States and English-speaking communities inCanada. 18According to a Cambridge Online Survey of World Englishes, 74% of Americans surveyed do not have a specific name for this night. 19 East Michigan referred to it as Devil’s Night, parts of New Jersey and New York as Mischief Night, and Washington State as Devil’s Eye. A similar study conducted by Harvard University a decade ago revealed other names like Gate Night, which involved opening farmers’ gates to let livestock roam free.20 The term Cabbage Night, for instance, originates from an old Scottish tradition where young women would use cabbages in fortune- telling rituals on All Hallows’ Eve, leading to a tradition of throwing cabbages at neighbors’ homes. Despite the decline in the use of specific names, Mischief Night continues to be a part of local traditions.A．Yet, regional names do exist.B．They offered candy to children in costumes as an alternative.C．The origins of these names have long been a topic of discussion.D．They involved light - hearted tricks such as throwing eggs at houses.E．Children had great fun but parents were concerned about the serious destruction.F．The data suggest that the specific names for this night are gradually fading away. G．However, it is less common in the South, West, and French-speaking regions of Canada.二、完形填空My friend Julie and I had completed an incredibly complicated set of instructions which led us to our comfortable room in Tokyo.
