Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that languageprobably won't hurt as much．But is that really so?Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary, it makes it worse．"In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as symptoms of depression．"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities（个性）．When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen．While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．1．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?A．Letting them alone．B．Beating them．C．Shouting at them．D．Praising them．2．The study finds that using harsh words ．A．can make things even worse B．inspires children to do better C．corrects children's bad behavior D．has a better effect than hitting3．According to Professor Ming - Te Wang, ．A．physical punishments are sometimes necessaryB．children are more self - centered in adolescenceC．parents should never punish kids for misbehavingD．harsh yelling damages children's self - confidence4．In Professor Alan Kazdin's opinion, parents should A．set good examples for their childrenB．take away their children' s smartphonesC．praise their children for good behaviorD．always think in their children's shoes5．What does the underlined word "them" in the last paragraph refer to?A．children B．bad behaviors C．parents D．smartphones【参考答案】1—5、CADCD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

课时练1阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·沈阳市高三模拟)Wild elephants can tell whether a voice comes from a man，a woman or a boy，a new study says.That’s what researchers found when they played recordings of people for elephants in Kenya.Scientists say this is an advanced thinking skill that other animals haven’t shown.It lets elephants figure out who is a threat and who isn’t.The result shows that the clever animals are also studying people，said study author Karen McComb.“Basically，they have developed this very rich knowledge of the humans that they share their habitat with，”said McComb，a professor at the University of Sussex in England.“Memory is key.They must build up that knowledge somehow.”The study was released on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.It’s clo se to but not quite like the Dr.Seuss’s book，where the elephant Horton hears something that others can’t hear.McComb and colleagues went to Amboseli National Park in Kenya，where hundreds of wild elephants live among humans，sometimes coming in conflict over scarce water.The scientists used voice recordings of Maasai men，who on occasion kill elephants，and Kamba men，who are less of a threat to the elephants.As a result，the elephants reacted more defensively—retreating and gathering in a bunch—to the Maasai language recording because it was associated with the more threatening human tribe，said study co－author Graeme Shannon.They repeated the experiment with recordings of Maasai men and women.Since women almost never spear elephants，the animals react ed less defensively to the women’s voices.The same thing happened when they substituted young boys’ voices.“Making this kind of fine distinctions in human voice patterns is quite remarkable，”said Emory University animal cognition expert Frans de Waal，who was not part of the study.【解题导语】研究表明野生大象能够识别男人、女人和男孩的声音，它们通过思维区分声音并判断谁能对他们产生威胁。

constant struggle for homeless people.In times of extreme weather conditions,that struggle becomes even more difficult.Recently,homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.Thankfully,one local woman refused to let that happen.On January 30,2018,34-year-old Candice Payne,a local managing broker,was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.“It was -20℃,and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne.Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help.Finally,she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.For Payne,her mission was personal.According to Payne,her husband,Carlos Callahan, had lived on the streets at one point in his life.Based on his experiences,Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help,no one likely would.However,when Payne explained what she was trying to do,many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn’t want homeless people to stay in their rooms.“No one wanted them,but one hotel,the Amber Inn,was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.Payne’s selfless act made news across the country.However,she insisted she had never done it for attention.“I am a regular person,” said Payne,who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this,but I’m justa little black girl from the South Side.”4.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Locals living on the street.B.The extreme weather.C.The shelter for the homeless.D.The homeless freezing to death.5.How did Candice Payne help the homeless people?A.By drawing public attention.B.By giving them money directly.C.By taking them to her own house.D.By buying hotel rooms for them.6.What may contribute to Payne’s nice act?A.Her husband’s past experiences.B.The requests from the homeless.C.Her desire to become famous.D.The coldness of local hotels.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Black Fighter Changes the WorldB.A Woman’s Curiosity Brings a RewardC.A Regular Woman Makes a DifferenceD.A Couple’s Brave Act Moves the CountryCA first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu recently complained online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4,500 yuan ($ 633) even when she said her current allowance 2,000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses,sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month.One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily:Students should pursue education,not comfort.Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China,2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses.In fact,for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough.According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform,the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing,Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019;for Chengdu,it was 1,900 yuan.Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance,the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money.Her “meager” allowance,she said,prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.By the time a person enters a college,she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit.And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income.On a deeper level,the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents’ hard work.Besides,some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don’t or can’t send them enough money.In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits.More importantly,they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college.8.What’s the expert’s attitude to the issue about the undergraduate student?A.Critical.B.Neutral.C.Supportive.D.Unconcerned.9.In 2019,the undergraduates’ average monthly expense in Hangzhou was .A.more than 2,000 yuanB.633 dollarsC.less than 2,000 yuanD.1,000 dollars10.Which of the following best explains “meager” in Paragraph 3?A.Empty.B.Pitiful.C.Mean.D.Fruitful.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.College students should keep their expenses in line with their family conditions.B.College students’ consumption level is determined by their parents.C.College students should take up a part-time job to cover their expenses.D.College students should deal with their problems about living expenses reasonably.DChina launched the last satellite of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in southwest China’s Sichuan Province at 9:43a.m.BJT (0143 GMT) on June 23.The satellite,carried by a Long March-3B carrier rocket,is the 30th BDS-3 satellite and the 55th of the whole BeiDou satellite family.The launch marked the completion of the country’s domestically developed BeiDou constellation(星群),one of four global navigation networks alongside with the United States’ GPS,Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.When fully completed,the system will offer its users services including high-precision positioning and short message communication,which will bring new highlights to global navigation satellite systems.Weighing over 10,000 pounds,the final BDS satellite is the largest of its kind in the family,and is filled with propellants for the movement in orbit,said deputy chief designer Liu Tianxiong.“The reason why we launched this one in the final stage is to round out the navigation network,”Liu added.Featuring radio-navigation,radio-determination and enhanced timing synchronization(同步) functions,the last satellite,after joining BDS-3 family,will allow the constellation to provide more cost-effective navigation services,which rapidly wins the global market.Based on the DFH-3B satellite platform,one of the largest platforms in service in China,the spacecraft is designed to work in orbit for at least 12 years.The latest launch came 26 years after the construction of the BeiDou-1 officially started in 1994.The first generation of the BeiDou system made China the third country after the U.S.and Russia to have a satellite navigation system.By 2000,the construction of the BDS-1 was completed,which wasmainly used to broadcast positioning and timing signals over China.12 years later,the construction of BDS-2,designed to provide navigation services over the broader Asia-Pacific region,was completed.Now,the construction of BDS-3,with 24 satellites in medium-Earth orbits,three in inclined geosynchronous satellite orbits and three in geostationary orbits,is scheduled to provide services worldwide.12.What can we know about the last satellite of the BDS?A.It is the most developed of the global navigation networks.B.It is much more powerful than the United States’ GPS.C.It was made by joint efforts from many countries.D.Its launch marks the developed BeiDou constellation is completed.13.What makes the BDS more competitive in navigation services?A.Precise positioning.B.Short message communication.C.Timing synchronization functions.D.More cost-effective navigation services.14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The design and expected service life of the BDS.B.The service objects of the BDS in different stages.C.Different periods of the construction of the BDS.D.The difficulty to be overcome in navigation services.15.What can we infer from the passage?A.The BDS is promoting the development of education in China.B.The BDS in China has been the best navigation system around the world.C.The latest launch of satellite indicates the great improvement of the BDS.D.Great achievements in the construction of the BDS really don’t come easily.Ⅱ.阅读七选五Teach Children the Value of MoneyAs we’re moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular,children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become cation around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.1 Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget.Then,research what things you will buy,work out which items may be better to buy.As you carry out each part of the activity,make sure to save all the receipts,and then evaluate if you managed to stay within,or broke your budget.2Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money.3 For example,14-year-olds are often making their ownbeds,so introducing a reward for such a “chore” is not a good idea;however,emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old.These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time,effort andcate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest.4Coming up with and doing activities or day-to-day tasks together with your children,is not only much more enjoyable for your children,but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings,interest rates,or allowances.5 That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.A.That is one of the most important factors for learning.B.Involve them in everyday money management activities.C.This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.D.Giving your child regular pocket money,big enough to cover basic wants.E.They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.F.Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.G.This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.参考答案必修1Module4阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

第一部分必修1Unit 5Ⅰ．阅读理解A(2020年山东卷)In the mid-1990s，Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months，physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later，still attracted to the country，he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit，however，ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea：Lost Among the Ghosts of Empirein Central Asia，which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan，where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land，and of the people he meets on his way：Rustam，his translator，a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California，Oleg and Natasha，his hosts in Tashkent，and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan，made of friendliness and warmth，but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand，Mr. Bissell admires the architectural wonders，while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana，he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan，he is saddened by the dust storms，diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr. Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references，making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan，seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American，as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains，this is neither a travel nor a history book，or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is，the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.()1．What made Mr. Bissell return to Uzbekistan?A．His friends’ invitation. B．His interest in the country.C．His love for teaching. D．His desire to regain health.()2．What does the underlined work “that” in Paragraph2 refer to?A．Developing a serious mental disease.B．Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.C．Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.D．Writing an article about the Aral Sea.()3．Which of the following best describes Mr. Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan?A．Romantic. B．Eventful.C．Pleasant. D．Dangerous.()4．What is the purpose of this text?A．To introduce a book. B．To explain a cultural phenomenon.C．To remember a writer. D．To recommend a travel destination.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Tom Bissell写的一本关于咸海和他旅行经历的书。

Welcome unit一、阅读理解A[认识自我/]Looking into the gym， I faced reality： I was in charge， and nobody would tell me what to do. It was my first practice as a v olunteer basketball coach for the local secondary school. Howe v er， what if I had too little experience and knowledge to gi v e the athletes？ What if I taught them nothing useful？I’d felt these doubts about my ability to lead throughout my scientific training.As a master’s student and later an early PhD student， I carried out the projects my professors ga v e me —but didn’t explore further on my own. It was more comfortable to let others lead. I told myself once I gained more experience and knowledge，I’d be ready to take charge.That thought ser v ed me well through 2 years of my PhD. After finishing two projects， I felt burned out and needed refreshing. I hoped regaining my lo v e of sports through coaching might help. I decided to push past my discomfort and learn along the way.That’s how I found myself in that gym. The a thletes came in and began shooting around. I collected myself and began practice with much energy and enthusiasm. Despite my fears，e v erything went smoothly. Afterward， I heard many thought the practice was great， which encouraged me. Maybe I had what it took to lead.Around the same time，my professor offered me an opportunity to work with a master’s student on a project. I’d ha v e to be a mentor（导师）. Though not sure I could do it，I couldn’t miss the chance.My professor still supported us， but I had to take charge most of the time. It was hard. But the lessons learned as a basketball coach seemed to help me find my footing（基础） as a scientific leader，too. You don’t become a leader after getting enough experience and knowledge. Leading is a matter of choice. The key is in my willingness to try.本文为记叙文，主要讲述了作者在篮球场上发觉自己拥有领导才能的经历。

（37）阅读理解—2024届新高考英语一轮复习题型滚动练1. In a classroom in rural Kenya's Rift Valley Province, a student takes notes alongside her fellow classmates. She wears the same school uniform—a grey skirt and a green sweater. However, she is more than 80 years older than them. Priscilla Sitienei, who turned 99-years-old on February 11, said she went back to class to set a good example for her great-grandchildren and to start a new career. "I'd like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife(助产士)," she said, adding that her children were supportive of her decision.Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began an education campaign to help to pay for the cost of primary schooling, allowing some older members of society who had missed out on education in their younger days to continue their dreams. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She's also become a film star. She traveled to Paris last year for the first showing of a film about her journey titled "Gogo", which means "grandmother" in her native Kalenjin language. She'll also be heading to New York City soon for the launch of the film there.Sitienei, who is in her sixth year of primary school, said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She had the idea when her great-granddaughter dropped out of school after getting pregnant, "I jokingly asked her if she had any money remaining on her school fee and she said yes, so I told her that I'd use it to attend school." She said she had hoped that her great-granddaughter would continue with her studies. But when she refused, Sitienei decided to go to school herself.Sitienei also enjoys other school activities, including physical education classes. "It keeps me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they can do, but I at least move my body. That's my joy," she said.Her teachers use Sitienei's wide experience to keep the peace during lessons. "I appointed Sitienei to help control the class. And it works. When I go outside, the class remains silent," said Leonida Talaam, her class teacher.1.How does Priscilla Sitienei differ from her classmates?A.The learning approach.B.The dressing style.C.Study efficiency.D.Physical age.2.Why are Paris and New York City mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To show the daily routines of a film star.B.To state Sitienei is really fond of traveling.C.To indicate the effects of the education campaign on Sitienei.D.To explain the hard work it takes to make dreams come true.3.Which word best describes Sitienei?A.Active.B.Passive.C.Independent.D.Intelligent.4.What can be inferred about Sitienei from the last paragraph?A.She hates noise in class very much.B.She is a good helper to her class teacher.C.She always enjoys staying in silence alone.D.She often replaces her teacher to give lessons.2.Virtual reality (VR) is already widespread in various fields. But while vision and hearing interfaces(接口) are extremely advanced, and touch, or "haptics," Is improving, one key sense has been missing from the virtual world: smell.That may be about to change. Engineer Xinge Yu of the City University of Hong Kong and his colleagues have developed a lightweight, flexible and wireless smell interface that can precisely deliver smells such as pineapple or green tea to VR users and more fully immerse them in scented virtual worlds.Previous smell interfaces have typically used bottles of liquid perfume, an atomizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist) and some method of blowing the atomized droplets out. This works, but it is rigid and has limited operating time between refills, and it docs not easily allow for controlling intensity. These drawbacks have made the devices less practical for VR systems.The new design uses small wax pads filled with scents that are heated by an electrode(电极) to release a smell. A thermistor senses the temperature, which controls the smell's intensity. The study describes two different device formats. The first is small enough that it can be stuck to a user's top lip, but it includes only two smell generators. The second is worm like a face mask and has nine. Both are customizable with a selection of 30 smells, including ginger, clove, mojito and coconut milk. Different combinations can be blended at varying intensities to create thousands of possible fragrances.The study includes demonstrations of possible applications beyond just enhancing VR，including communicating messages by smell and arousing emotions. The researchers suggest the devices could even be used to cease depressed mood or promote recall in people with age-related cognitive decline. "Scent is directly connected to the emotional and memory parts of the brain, so there are a lot of applications related to well-being and health," Amores says.1.What's the function of paragraph 1?A. To give a definition of VRB. To introduce the change in VRC. To show the importance of VRD. To emphasize the existing use of VR2.Which is the advantage of the new interfaces?A. They can only be worn as a face mask.B. They allow people to control the smell intensity.C. They have limited operating time between fills.D. They have typically used bottles of liquid perfume.3.What does the author mean by saying the new interfaces are "customizable"?A. They are ready for sale.B. They have a selection of 30 smells.C. They can be blended at varying intensities.D. They can be designed to meet different needs.4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The design of the study.B. The advantages of the study.C. The applications of the study.D. The disadvantages of the study.3. Banff National Park is Canada's firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forest, and alpine(高山的) scenery. The Icefields Parkway spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the Town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20thcentury, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity.Banff National Park has a subarctic climate(副极地气候) with three ecoregions. The forests feature the lodgepole pine at lower heights and the Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal(哺乳动物) species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles(爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number ofspecies have been recorded.The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks(沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Erosion(侵蚀) from water and ice has molded the mountains into their existing shapes.1.What can we infer about Banff National Park?A.It was built mainly by prisoners.B.It is the oldest national park in Canada.C.It is connected to three other provincial parks.D.It failed to satisfy visitors' demand for commercial activities.2.What was a contribution of the Canadian Pacific Railway?A.Building roads in Banff.B.Constructing hotels in Banff.C.Preserving the ecology of Banff.D.Providing multiple railway lines for Banff.3.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The biodiversity of Banff.B.The limited knowledge of reptiles.C.The complex climate system of Banff.D.The mammals' severe living conditions.4.What does the underlined word "molded" in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Stuck.B.Broken.C.Formed.D.Followed.4. I had always dreamed of living and working in New York, which promised endless opportunities. But as soon as I arrived, I realized that my journey was going to be filled with countless setbacks and challenges.My first major failure came when I landed my dream job at a famous company. However, after just a few months, I was let go due to budget cuts. I was shocked and felt like all of my hard work had been for nothing.Determined to bounce back, I applied for a new job at another company. This time, things seemed to be going better. I was making progress and gaining valuable experience, but then I was suddenly laid off again due to company restructuring.Feeling defeated and hopeless, I decided to take a break from the job search and focus on self-improvement. I enrolled in courses and attended workshops to learn new skills andexpand my knowledge. But even with all of this effort, I still couldn't find the right job.One day, while searching online job listings, I found an opportunity that seemed too good to be true. It was a remote position that offered a competitive salary and flexible hours. Without hesitation, I applied and was thrilled when I received an offer letter.However, as soon as I started working remotely, I realized that it wasn't the same as being in an office with colleagues (同事) around me. I struggled to communicate effectively and found it difficult to stay motivated without the support of my team.Despite these challenges, I refused to give up. I reached out to my colleagues and tried to build relationships with them through virtual meetings and social media. With their help and encouragement, I was able to adapt to the new environment and excel in my role.

The idea that the normal human body temperature is about 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it's become so widely accepted that it serves as a touchstone for health—a diagnostic tool used by physicians and parents as a basic indicator of whether someone is sick or well. However, it turns out that this well-established fact isn't, in fact, correct—or, to put it more accurately, human beings have been getting cooler over the years.Recent studies have shown that temperature records of groups of people have tended torun low compared to the accepted norm (标准) so the Stanford team, led by Julie Par-sonnet, MD, professor of medicine and of health research and policy, decided to do a more in-depth study to compare modern measurements with historical records to try to identify body temperature trends and, perhaps, uncover the reason why this cooling is happening.For their research, the Stanford team looked at three distinct data sets from two historical periods. After going through 677,423 temperature measurements, the team found that men born in the 21st century had an average body temperature of 0.6℃ lower than that of those born in the early 19th century while modern women showed an average decrease of 0.03℃ compared to those born in the 1890s.As to why this is happening, the researchers say that the most likely mechanism is a reduction in the human metabolic rate (代谢率) due to environmental factors: One possibility is that improvements in public health over 200 years have reduced the incidence of inflammations (炎症),which promote metabolism. This combined with people living more comfortable lives in more stable environments means that the body doesn't have to work as hard to stay warm, so the average temperature falls."The environment that we're living in has changed, including the temperature in our homes, our contact with microorganisms (微生物) and the food that we have access to. All these things mean that although we consider human beings as the same for all of human evolution, we're not the same. We're actually changing physiologically," Parsonnet said.1.What is Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich's achievement?A. He set up standards for human health services.B. He predicted trends in human body temperature.C. He first used body temperature as a health indicator.D. He proposed the standard human body temperature.2.What can we learn about the Stanford team's study?A. It shows women have a lower body temperature than men.B. It proves human body temperature has dropped at a faster rate.C. It compared historical and current human body temperature data.D. It suggested updating the definition of the average body temperature.3.Which of the following is thought to cause the decrease in human body temperature?A. The improved living conditions.B. The contact with other creatures.C. The decline in physically demanding work.D. The adaptation of humans to climate change.4.Which one could be the best title for the text?A. What exactly is normal human body temperature?B. Why does human body temperature need measuring?C. Human body temperature has decreased over the yearsD. Human body temperature changes with the environment答案以及解析1.1.答案：D解析：细节理解题。

Simon Vanderpool, a special education teacher in Lexington, Kentucky, decided to do something about it. He started a program called Books and Barbers. Children go to the barber, choose a book and read out loud while the barber cuts their hair. The child gets a sticker and can take the book home. And there is an added bonus: money. The kids get paid to read.Vanderpool says barber shops are places where kids can feel comfortable. “Once a student feels comfortable, that's whenever the brain opens up, and that they are able to start focusing on nothing but learning.〞 Amir Shalash owns a barber shop. But he is doing more than cutting children's hair. He is listening to them, and helping them with their reading.Most of the children getting haircuts at barber shops are boys.
