website’s “Find a Gift” section makes shopping there even easier,but independent booksellers are working hard to keep up,offering sidewalk pickup and sometimes even free shipping,and they’re known for offering booklovers personalized,thoughtful recommendations.BicyclesBikes were one of the hottest items of the past year,thanks in part to closed gyms around the country.In fact,for months,specialty shops were sold out of all but the priciest specialty rides,so ifa two-wheeler tops your wish list,start shopping soon,before supplies come short again.If you’re not particularly handy,look to buy from a locally owned shop,where you can get a bike that’s already fixed together rather than a bosAlso in short supply this year:hand weights,kettlebells,and other popular workout items.They may still

just as much fromstudents as students learn from teachers.Here are a few of the things I have learned in my job.Roger was physically and mentally delayed.About once a month,we would have a dance in our classroom.Roger was awkward and ashamed when it came to asking a girl to dance with him.But once,I noticed that Roger was slow dancing with Leah,one of the most popular girls in the class.He had the biggest smile on his face.The ney classroom to work with his support teacher,I praised Leah for inviting Roger to dance.That simple act of including him in a slow dance was such a great move.At our next dance,Roger asked Leah and every other girl in the class to dance.No one turned him down.Leah taught me the kindness of a simple act and its great effect.It was Serena who showed us what bravery was about.Serena was our play’s narrator(旁白员).She was scared she would forget her lines.“If you do,” I advised,“pause,stare at the audience and take time to remember.The audience will think it’s part of the play.” Halfway through the opening night,Ser ena forgot her lines.She stared at the 300 people gathered in the gym.After whatseemed like forever,Serena remembered.After the performance,she burst into tears backstage,thinking she had let everybody down.When our principal came to congratulate our cast,she turned to Serena and said her pause worked so well.Little did she know about Serena’s little act of bravery.Teachers spend hours making lessons to teach skills and knowledge.We adjust lessons,keep the good and throw out the bad.A good teacher listens to and learns

more energy than walking down a sidewalk—because the weight of your body pushes into the sand.It turns out that the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads.“The weight o f the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation(凹痕) in the pavement—like it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill,” said Jeremy Gregory,a scientist at MIT.He modeled with his teammates how much energy could be saved and how much greenhouse gases could be avoided by simply hardening the nation’s roads and highways.And they found that hardening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent the emission(排放) equal to 440 megatons of carbon dioxide over the neount is equal to how much CO2you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground or by growing 7 billion trees for a decade.It reduces 0.5% of projected transportation emissions over that time period.As for how to harden roads,Gregory says you could combine small amounts of certain fibre with high technology into paving materials.Or you could pave the roads with specially-made concrete,which is harder than ordinary construction materials.This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of th e usual barriers.“Usually,when it comes toreducing emissions in the transportation sector,you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior,which involves(牵涉) millions and millions of people—as opposed to changing the way we design and preserve our pavements.That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies.” And when it comes to improving our streets and highways,those agencies are where you might say the rubber meets the road.8.How does the author develop paragraph 3?A.By giving eaking classification.C.By listing figures.D.By analyzing causes.9.What does Gregory suggest for hardening roads?A.Mixing fibre with special concrete.B.Changing regular paving materials.C.Creating hi-tech computer models.ing ordinary building materials.10.What is an advantage of the road-hardening system?A.It reduces construction costs.B.It profits transportation agencies.C.It regulates driver behavior.D.It avoids involving too many people.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Walk Down Beaches or Sidewalks?B.Hardening Roads Helps Save EnergyC.How to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsD.A System of Hardening RoadsD(河南毕业班高考适应性测试)The yogurt that’s past its sell-by date.The banana in your lunch that turned brown.The leftovers in the fridge that you forgot to eat.For most people,all that food goes right into the garbage can.Eight to ten percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) are related to food waste,according to a report by t he UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.“When you throw away anegg or a sandwich,” says Yvette Cabrera,food waste director at the Natural Resources Defense Council(NRDC),“you’re also throwing away all the resources that went into producing those things.”They include not only all the water,land,and fertilizer(肥料) that went into producing that food,but also the massive amounts of fossil fuels used to power the farms,transport the food,and create the packaging.Then there’s the issue of what happens to food after it’s thrown out.More food ends up in ndfills than any other type of trash.Food rotting in landfills produces methane(甲烷),a greenhouse gas that’s roughly 25 times more powerful at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide,which is produced by burning fossil fuels.Food waste is a difficult problem to solve,though,in part because it happens for different reasons depending on the country.In developing nations,40 percent of food is lost before it ever reaches people’s homes,because many of those countries lack the technology and tools to preserve food.It’s another story in wealthier countries,where most of the food is wasted in people’s kitchens.Americans,for example,throw out a quarter of their groceries each year,on average,according to the NRDC.That’s like going to the grocery store,leaving with four bags of groceries,and then throwing one of them into the garbage before you get home.12.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The problem of food waste.B.The awareness of food saving.C.The necessity of food diversity.D.The ways of food preservation.13.What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The leftovers in the fridge.B.The packaging materials of products.C.The thrown eggs or sandwiches.D.The resources to produce food.14.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A.Provide a persuasive eore background information.C.Discuss a more serious consequence.D.Summarize the previous paragraphs.15.In what stage does food waste mainly happen in developed countries?A.Storage.B.Transportation.C.Processing.D.Consumption.Ⅱ.七选五(浙江金丽衢十二校第一次联考)We may befriend more people on social media,but we have fewer real friends—the kind who would help us out in tough times,listen sympathetically no matter what,lend us money,or keep a secret if we share one.1 He is a Cornell University sociologist who surveyed more than 2,000 adults and found that from 1985 to ,the number of truly close friends has dropped even though we’re socializing as much as ever.On average,participants listed2 close friends in his survey. 2 “These are the people you think of as your realfriends,your go-to people if you need something,” Brashears said.Brashears asked people online from a database calledTime-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences to list the names of people with whom they had discussed “important matters” over the previous six months.48 percent of participants listed one close friend when asked,28 percent listed two and 19 percent listed more.3 He reported the results in the journal SocialNetworks.4 Brashears said his survey can’t tell us conclusively(确定地),but his guess is that while we meet just as many people as we used to,we sort them differently.Does that suggest we’re more isolated in these times when we seem to meet more people online than in person?Social scientists say social media may actually be healthy for us.Keith Hampton from the University of Pennsylvania wrote a report.Hampton wrote in his blog post,“Internet,or social media users h ave more close relationships than other people.They get more overall social support than other people. 5 ”But online contact and personal contact are different.While Hampton reports we know more people because of socialmedia,Brashears reports there are fewer whom we choose to trust with our most intimate worries.A.What’s the reason behind them?B.What’s the meaning of the survey?C.That’s the conclusion made by Matthew Brashears.D.The report reflected issues behind the phenomenon.E.At the same time,a little more than 4 percent didn’t list anyone.pared with 3 in a previous study,the number was down by one point.G.And in particular they report more emotional support and companionship.选修7 Unit1 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
