Burton Chace Park.BOn the night of August 24, 2001, my last night of freedom before my freshman of high school started, everything changed when my friend's car hit a guardrail(护栏) with me inside.I lost most of my right leg. At the hospital, I just kept telling myself to hold on. Weeks later I made a deal with the hospital staff that once I could roll onto my side, I could be discharged. I am proud to say that just one short week later, I was going home. The day I left the hospital, I made a promise to myself to never give up and to always live life to the fullest.In February of 2013, my life was forever changed when I attended the Executive Assistant Organization's Behind Every Leader event. During the conference, a sweet lady by the name of Alisson Frew dared to ask me why I did not wear a prosthesis(假肢). My short and simple answer was, "I don't have sixty thousand dollars." The next morning I was in tears as I learned that Alisson, Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline, and a dozen other people, had bought a prosthesis for me. From the first step, it was apparent to me just how much this would mean to me.For a year I adjusted to the leg and settled into everyday life,until one day I realized I was making a life but not living one.After almost 13 years of thinking that I was confident, I had an unfamiliar feeling sweep over me. For the first time in my life, I was not only confident but I was empowered! I desired to help those around me, to have them experience this unbelievable feeling for themselves.In April of 2014, I started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me on a poster at her favourite clothing store and say, "Wow, she is amazing, and she only has one leg. I could do that too someday, even though I have a disability."4. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A.She was humorous and outgoing.B.She was determined and optimistic.C.She was intelligent and hardworking.D.She was generous and kind-hearted.5. Why was the author's life changed forever in 2013?A.She attended an important conference.B.She met some famous people.C.She joined an organization.D.She got a precious gift.6.

What would be the best title for the text?A.An Expensive Gift from StrangersB.How I Survived A Terrible AccidentC.I Lost a Leg but Gained a PurposeD.Stay Strong in the Face of DisabilityCA Japanese company, NextTechnology, has created a robot dog that can tell you how bad your feet smell, by using a powerful sensor fixed in its nose. If your feet don't have a bad smell, Hana-chan will happily wag its tail, if it's exposed to feet that aremildly smelly, it'll start to bark, and if they give off an extremely bad smell, it'll just fall over like the smell caused it to faint (昏倒). Foot odor (脚臭) is a big deal in Japan, where it's customary for people to take off their shoes whenever they enter someone's home. In fact, exposing others to bodily odors can be considered annoyance in Japan. Some of the most brilliant minds in the country's tech industry have been trying to solve this problem. Last year, Thanko started selling armpit (腋窝) fans designed to keep people's armpits nice and dry. Now, we have Hana-chan.The robot dog has a special sensor for a nose, and can tell you if your feet smell just by sniffing them for a few seconds. According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at NextTechnology, the idea forHana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly," NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said. "But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot."You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. Next-Technology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog next May.8. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.C. When it wags its tail.D. When something is wrong with its nose.9. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.C. Because Japanese are especially considerate of others.D. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.10.What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.B. It's already available in the market.C. It can recognize foot odor quickly.D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.B. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.DTo the untrained eye, handwriting styles may seem random. Some write big; others prefer small; and still others tend toward the unreadable. But a new study shows that your handwriting actually says more about you than you thought.Professor Sarah Rosenblum has been studying cognitive(认知) theory as it relates to handwriting for years. Researchers have already developed a computerized system that measures and analyzes even the smallest details of a person's handwriting, such as the space between the letters and the amount of pressure we apply when writing. Using this system, she discovered changes inhandwriting can indicate when we are lying and even whether someone is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.Now, Rosenblum, with other researchers, is examining whether changes in handwriting can be used to identify moods (情绪). Researchers broke up study participants into three groups. Each group underwent an activity that put the participants in a different mood—positive, passive, and neutral(中立的), by viewing appropriate movies. After that, the participants were instructed to write a paragraph.After studying the participants' paragraphs, the different moods of each group were evident in characteristics like letter shape and size. For example, the height of the letters written by people in a negative(消极的) mood was significantly lower than that of the positive or neutral groups. Also, participants in a negative mood showed quicker writing and narrower width of letters than those in a positive mood.But why? The researchers explain that it is probably the negative mood that creates a cognitive burden on the brain, leading in turn to changes in handwriting."The findings of the study may help doctors identify their patient's actual mood," Rosenblum said. "In the future, we will try to examine whether we can also measure the level of the mood, i. e. how happy or sad someone is."So watch out: if you're happy, you know it. Your handwriting will, too.12. What can be learned through a person's handwriting?A. The pressure he is facing.B. The lies he is telling.C. The language he is speaking.D. A certain disease he might have.13. How were participants put into different moods during the study?A. By reading moving stories.B. By writing a paragraph.C. By watching certain films.D. By listening to programmes.14. What indicates a person is very happy?A. He writes small letters.B. He writes wide letters.C. He writes casually.D. He writes short letters.15. What is Rosenblum studying?A. How handwriting affects a person's mood.B. How mood is classified by types of handwriting.C. How a person's mood is reflected in handwriting.D. How doctors use handwriting to understand patients' mood.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. That's right― during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. "Running at an amazing pace," Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yelling, “Help! He took my phone and laptop!"At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot （赃物）in a backyard.No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site —and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise. “Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,” Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.”4．Why do the group members gather together?A．To do some stretching. B．To have a regular run.C．To deliver a lecture. D．To cover some topics.5．What does the underlined word “sprinted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Dashed. B．Pushed.C．Jumped. D．Escaped.6．We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to____ .A．the assistance of the runners B．the owner of the row houseC．the campus police on patrol D．the joint efforts of the people7．Which of the following best describes Cassidy?A．Athletic and generous. B．Courageous and ambitious.C．Helpful and humorous. D．Thoughtful and demanding.CThe other day, I bought an expensive anti-aging cream that promised to make my face look several years younger than other women by fighting free radicals(自由基). It made me curious about what free radicals are. Is the anti-aging cream the only way I need to protect myself?“As a scientific term, free radicals are essentially unstable atoms,” says Arizona-based doctor, Natasha Bhuyan, M. D．“In medicine, they cause cells to break down over time and are linked to aging. ”A super simple chemistry review for you：Atoms from different elements are the building blocks that make up water, nitrogen and more. Electron(电子) are the negatively charged atoms, and they like to be in pairs. When an electron loses its partner, it creates a free radical, which is usually unstable and highly reactive. Free radicals typically go through the body to seek out a replacement for their missing electron, and that can result in damage to cells, proteins and DNA．So how do free radicals form and why do they happen? Bhuyan says, “Scientifically, free radicals are unpaired electrons that are seeking a mate to bond with. The theory behind free radicals is that they can lead to the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants(抗氧化剂). ” Another mini-science lesson for you：Antioxidants are natural or man-made matters that can help delay or prevent some types of cell damage. They’re often found in fruits and vegetables.A lot of the aspects of modern life--our diet, lifestyle and environmental factors like pollution, can cause oxidative(氧化的) stress. Over time, oxidative stress weakens cells and tissues and can leave you more easily exposed to certain health issues, including cancer. And, as beauty marketers are keenly aware, oxidative stress can also speed up the aging process. Now that you know free radicals can weak on your health, you’re probably wondering if there are any ways to prevent them from forming or at least to minimize their negative effects.8．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A．Explain the process of aging.B．State the formation of free radicals.C．Introduce the topic of free radicals.D．Describe the harm of anti-aging cream.9．Which of the following do free radicals refer to?A．Unpaired electrons.B．Steady atoms.C．Replacements of atoms.D．Functions of electrons.10．What can we learn about antioxidants from the text?A．They have never been found in nature.B．They do harm to cells proteins and DNA.C．They can slow down the damage of some cells.D．They always keep balance with free radicals.11．What will the author probably tell us next?A．What exactly oxidative stress is.B．How beauty marketers promote sales.C．Where a variety of diseases come from.D．How free radicals can be prevented.DArt therapy（治疗）involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and examine the psychological and emotional undertones. With the guidance of an art therapist, clients car "decode" the nonverbal messages in these art forms, which lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can resolve deeper issues.Art therapy helps people explore their emotions, relieve stress. improve symptoms of anxiety and depression, and cope with a physical illness or disability. No artistic talent is necessary for art therapy to succeed, because the therapeutic process is not about the artistic value of the work, but rather about finding associations between the creative choices made and a client's inner life. The artwork can be used as a springboard for reawakening memories and telling stories that may reveal messages and beliefs from the unconscious mindAs with any form of therapy, your first session will consist of your talking to the therapist about why you want to find help and learning what the therapist has to offer Together, you will come up with a treatment plan that involves creating some form of artwork. Once you begin creating, the therapist may, at times, simply observe your process as you work, without interrupting. When you have finished a piece of artwork—and sometimes while you are still working on it-the therapist will ask you questions of how you feel about the artistic process, what is easy or difficult about creating your artwork, and what thoughts or memories you might have had while you are working. Generally, the therapist will ask about your experience and feelings before providing any observations.Art therapy is founded on the belief that self-expression through artistic creation has therapeutic value for those who are healing or seeking deeper understanding of themselves and their personalities. Art therapists are trained to understand the roles that various art media like color can play in the therapeutic process and how these tools can help reveal one's thoughts, feelings, and psychological disposition.12．What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?A．To teach people to be art therapists.B．To explain the origin of art therapy.C．To praise the devotion of therapists.D．To popularize knowledge of art therapy.13．Which of the following matters least in the therapeutic process?A．The style of the work.B．The emotions of the client.C．The memories of the client.D．The artistic value of the work.14．What does the art therapist's conclusion mainly depend on?A．The client's questions.B．The client's explanations.C．The therapist's feelings D．The length of the artistic process.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Little training is needed to become an art therapist.B．Choices of art elements reflect people's inner world.C．Art therapists need to have strong belief in themselves.D．Clients are required to use different tools to show themselves.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

According to some media reports, Hana-chan can help solve the problem of extremely smelly feet by spraying them with air freshener, but it's unclear whether this feature comes built-in, or if you'll have to pay extra for it.According to researchers at NextT echnology, the idea forHana-chan was inspired by a person who desperately wanted some way to know if his feet smelled. He told us his daughter had said his feet were smelly," NextTechnology's Kimika Tsuji said. "But he didn't want to know how bad the odor was because he would feel hurt. That's why we developed this cute robot."You may be able to make Hana-chan faint with your smelly feet, but it can have the same effect on budget-conscious people. Next-Technology plans to start selling the feet-smelling robot dog next May.8. Under what condition will Hana-chan bark?A. When its nose is fixed with a sensor.B. When it detects mildly smelly feet.C. When it wags its tail.D. When something is wrong with its nose.9. Why is foot odor paid great attention to in Japan?A. Because Japanese have strong bodily odors.B. Because its tech industry is highly developed.C. Because Japanese are especially considerate of others.D. Because Japanese are usually barefooted at others' home.10.What can be inferred about Hana-chan from the text?A. Its idea comes from Kimika Tsuji.B. It's already available in the market.C. It can recognize foot odor quickly.D. It has a built-in air freshener sprayer.11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Hana-chan is no cheap thing.B. People should mind their smelly feet.C. People should be careful about their budget.D. Hana-chan makes people loosen their budget.DTo the untrained eye, handwriting styles may seem random. Some write big; others prefer small; and still others tend toward the unreadable. But a new study shows that your handwriting actually says more about you than you thought.Professor Sarah Rosenblum has been studying cognitive(认知) theory as it relates to handwriting for years. Researchers have already developed a computerized system that measures and analyzes even the smallest details of a person's handwriting, such as the space between the letters and the amount of pressure we apply when writing. Using this system, she discovered changes in handwriting can indicate when we are lying and even whether someone is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.Now, Rosenblum, with other researchers, is examining whether changes in handwriting can be used to identify moods (情绪). Researchers broke up study participants into three groups. Each group underwent an activity that put the participants in adifferent mood—positive, passive, and neutral(中立的), by viewing appropriate movies. After that, the participants were instructed to write a paragraph.After studying the participants' paragraphs, the different moods of each group were evident in characteristics like letter shape and size. For example, the height of the letters written by people in a negative(消极的) mood was significantly lower than that of the positive or neutral groups. Also, participants in a negative mood showed quicker writing and narrower width of letters than those in a positive mood.But why? The researchers explain that it is probably the negative mood that creates a cognitive burden on the brain, leading in turn to changes in handwriting."The findings of the study may help doctors identify their patient's actual mood," Rosenblum said. "In the future, we will try to examine whether we can also measure the level of the mood, i. e. how happy or sad someone is."So watch out: if you're happy, you know it. Your handwriting will, too.12. What can be learned through a person's handwriting?A. The pressure he is facing.B. The lies he is telling.C. The language he is speaking.D. A certain disease he might have.13. How were participants put into different moods during the study?A. By reading moving stories.B. By writing a paragraph.C. By watching certain films.D. By listening to programmes.14. What indicates a person is very happy?A. He writes small letters.B. He writes wide letters.C. He writes casually.D. He writes short letters.15. What is Rosenblum studying?A. How handwriting affects a person's mood.B. How mood is classified by types of handwriting.C. How a person's mood is reflected in handwriting.D. How doctors use handwriting to understand patients' mood.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021年新高考高三英语考前阅读强化限时训练（两套，含答案解析）阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Most of us now have more than one online social media platform that we often use. They all have a place for you to show your best face in the form of a profile(简介) photo. A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you at first sight. But, according to a new study, we may not be the best judge of our own profile pictures.Researchers asked 100 university students to choose images that they would most likely use as profile pictures on social networks. They found that the participants picked the trait(特点) of attractiveness for a dating site and professionalism for a career site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, the students were asked to perform the same task for a stranger in the group. At last, researchers showed these images to online viewers and asked them to rate how confident, trustworthy or able the person in them appeared.The online viewers tended to favor the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the people themselves. Researchers suggested that strangers are better at choosing true images that show a person’s current appearance. One idea is that people tend to think themselves more positively than others do. This may affect their ability to distinguish(区分) when trying to select a satisfying photo. Moreover, it appears that people overemphasize the trait of attractiveness compared with other traits, such as trustworthiness and kindness, which are characters that strangers often focus on.Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Researchers have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring actual benefits in life or workplaces. But if you want to put your best face forward, you can ask someone else to choose your next profile picture.【解题导语】人们总是希望在社交网站上留下最吸引人的资料照片，但研究发现陌生人其实更擅长挑选这类照片。

Now he has written a book to help young people achieve their own goals in life, called Be Amazing! An Inspiring Guide to Being Your Own Champion. The book is packed with stories from his cycling career and the lessons he learned along the way. Speaking to The Week Junior, Hoy says the book’s advice can apply to anything, whether it’s sport, the arts or science.When he was young, Hoy never thought he would have a career in cycling. “First of all, I wasn’t that good at it,” he says. Hoy thought that successful people were just certain to be great and were different from everyone else. But after growing up, Hoy realized that wasn’t true and he saw whatever can happen if you work hard at something you love. He won his first gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Greece in a time trial event. In this event, the cyclists took it in turns to see who could go the fastest round a track.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号Before Hoy’s turn came, the world record had been broken three times. However, he focused on his own performance and won gold. Hoy said hearing his name followed by the words “Olympic champion” was truly magical.If Hoy could give his younger self a piece of advice, it would be, “Not everyone can win a gold medal, so there has to be more than that. There has to be enjoyment and fun at the heart of everything.”4. What is Chris Hoy’s main purpose of writing the book?A. To get young people to buy it.B. To make the young learn how to cycle.C. To help the young realize their dreams.D. To let young people know his sports career.5. Which of the following is included in Chris Hoy’s book?A. His works of art.B. His cycling profession.C.

Energy and curiosity.7. What can we infer about Chris Hoy?A. He did well in cycling as a boy.B. He has broken the world record three times.C. He won his first Olympic gold medal in AustraliaD. He thinks the key to doing everything is pleasure.CA car weighing only a few hundred pounds, can travel 500 miles per hour, repair itself and cost less than other cars. It might be hard to imagine such a cat, let alone a spaceship. But NASA is trying to make a spaceship that is much better than other ships.The spacecraft has to be as light as it can be. Weight costs money! A new discovery might allow spacecraft to be lighter. A new material called a “carbon nanotube”(碳纳米管) might be the answer to the weight problem of building a super spaceship. This material is 600 times stronger than steel.One of the big problems with space travel is space radiation(辐射). In space, astronauts need protection against harmful rays. You might think that the metal on a spaceship is the answer. But, metals are the worst for protecting against very dangerous space rays. These rays are made of little pieces called ions(离子). When the ions hit metals at very high speed, they can break an atom and cause another type of ray to form. These new rays can be worse than the radiation the metal skins were supposed to stop. Thus, it is very important to block these rays.But we could use carbon nanotubes to make the skins of spacecraft. Things that are light in weight seem to work the best against these ions. The rays are stopped outside the spacecraft and new rays aren’t made.In addition, our super spaceship needs to be able to repair itself. Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks(针刺) because of tiny sensors that send signals to our brains. Tiny sensors like ours could be built in the new ships. Each sensor could send messages to the computer “brain” of the spacecraft. If something needed to be fixed, the computer could tell the ship to do it.Just as amazing as a car would be to someone 200 years ago, our nanotube spaceship might seem to us. We might actually make the spacecraft of tomorrow, using the technology of today.8. What are the features of carbon nanotubes?A. Light and strong.B. Thin and radioactive.C. Self-repairing and weightless.D. Sensitive and protective.9. Which of the following statements is true?A. Space radiation can’t be blocked at all.B. Space rays can break ions to form new rays.C. Carbon nanotubes can prevent radiation effectively.D. Metal skins aren’t a good choice for their strength.10. Why will tiny sensors be built into the new spaceship?A. Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks.B. The computer “brain” can repair itself.C. Signals can be sent to humans’ brains.D. The computer can be informed of what to repair.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A New Discovery in SpaceB. NASA Made a BreakthroughC. Nanotubes Help to Repair SpacecraftD. NASA’s Attempt to Make a Super SpaceshipDThere are so many choices when you go shopping. You have to check the sell-by dates so that you know how long you can store and use the food you are purchasing.But do you know that the best sell-by dates on food packaging don’t really tell you if the food is safe to eat. The food may not last as long as it says if it isn’t stored correctly at any point of the distribution chain. Now there is food packaging that can detect and change colors if the food has gone bad.Each American wastes 103 pounds of spoiled food out of the refrigerator every year. The new smart packaging from Primitives Biodesign — a new company that operates out of a lab at Indibio, a biotech accelerator in San Francisco — can help to reduce this huge waste of food.The basic material that doesn’t contain sensing material is made from algae and can block oxygen more effectively than regular film, so the food stays fresher for a longer time. Since it is made from a natural substance, it can also break down in nature.Making the film smart is the thorny part. Luckily, the team managed to use a process that is like the way nature responds to changes in the environment. The mechanism responds like the way flowers emit compounds to change colors.“It could be supplement packaging that indicate when it’s been tampered with by changing color to tell you that it's no ledger safe,” says Kan. She explained that the new packaging can be used on food products to fell if the food has turned bad before someone has to smell or taste it.The company has proven in lab tests that the technology works and now they are working on how to develop commercial uses for it. The added safety features will come out later. Helping to control food waste in products like meat or cheese which have high greenhouse gas emissions will also help to reduce climate change.12. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Storing food properly is very important.B. The color of food packaging is not clear.C. Regular food packaging is of little value.D. It’s not hard to control distribution chains.13. What does the word “thorny” underlined in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Changeable.B. Interesting.C. Natural.D. Difficult.14. What can we say about the new food packaging?A. It is too thin to block oxygen.B. It is really good for the environment.C. It is perfect for commercial uses.D. It is sensitive to pleasant smells.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Smart Packaging Tells If Food Is Safe to EatB. Sensing Materials Indicate the Color of FoodC. A Great Team Is Concerned With Food SafetyD. Old Packaging Slows Down Climate Change第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
