To solve the problem caused by it in modern working life, he came up with a great idea— the two-legged chair, which is to encourage the user to move at his or her desk.The chair just has two legs and needs the user to balance （平衡）it. Although it looks dangerous, it can stop people from felling while using it. But the chair is a little uncomfortable, as the user has to keep it balanced. It is also good for other parts of the body, just like an exercise ball（姿势）._________ Most people don’t get much exercise during the day. People watch a lot of TV and work on computers. Many people suffer from spine （脊椎）problems. Companies are coming up with new products in our houses to make our lives easier. But trying to offer people an easier life causes lots of health problems.According to Benoit, the design is not about making money in the furniture （家具）market. It is to provide a product which tries to encourage people to move their whole body. The practice of this special chair can make people change their bad habits. It will encourage people to try to be more active. 11．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．The two-legged chair.B．Moving at his or her desk.C．Sitting for too long.D．The great idea.12．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “ ________” in Paragraph 4.A．Sitting long is so common now.B．Doing sports is so popular now.C．Working environment is so hard now.D．Keeping healthy is so cool now.13．What’s the purpose of this passage?A．To tell people how to keep away from sitting too long.B．To tell people how to stay away from health problems.C．To explain why people suffer from illness now.D．To show a two-legged chair designed to make people healthier.03（2022·浙江·松阳县教育局教研室一模）There are many TV cook shows where you wish you could reach through your screen and taste the delicious recipes yourself.Now, Japanese scientists have taken a huge step towards making that a reality, with the development of a lickable TV screen.The device is called Taste the TV (TTTV) and contains 10 taste cans that can spray taste samples onto the surface of the screen. The different tastes in the cans can then mix to create tastes similar to those being shown on screen, for example, coffee or pizza.It is an experimental technology, produced by Meiji University in Tokyo, Japan, with its developers expecting a commercial version to cost about £650.Japanese professor Miyashita and 30 students have developed all kinds of taste types. In his version the 10 taste cans spray a mixture of samples on to a roll of hygienic (卫生的) film that is placed over a flat TV-screen.“During the COVID-19, this kind of technology can improve the way people connect and communicate with the outside world,” said Miyashita.“The goal is to make it possible for people to have the experience of something like eating at a restauranton the other side of the world, even while at home,” he said.Miyashita has also been in talks with companies about using his spray technology for applications like a device that can apply a pizza or chocolate taste to a piece of toasted bread.14．The passage tells us the invention of _________.A．tasty cans B．TV cook showsC．a film technology D．a lickable TV screen15．Paragraph 3 talks about_________.A．what the device includes B．how the device worksC．what the device is called D．why the device is invented16．The writer uses what Miyashita says to express the _________ of the invention.A．ways B．purpose C．conditions D．importance17．From the passage, we know that the device is _________.A．widely used now B．popular with the JapaneseC．still in experiment D．liked by restaurant owners04（2022·湖北·武汉外国语学校（武汉实验外国语学校）模拟预测）Malaria (疟疾) has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from it. Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu (青蒿素).This year marks the 50th anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach. They went back to books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2, 000 old remedies (药方), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.One remedy, which is 1, 600 years old, uses the sweet wormwood (青蒿) plant to treat malaria. Tu found it effective and tried to extract (提取) the qinghaosu from it in order to make drugs. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and succeeded in 1972.After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out thatqinghaosu was safe. All patients in the tests recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives in China and other countries throughout the world.In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit (荣誉). Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once proudly said, “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”18．According to the passage, to find an effective drug called qinghaosu is ________.A．impossible B．uneasy C．unexpected D．complicated19．What do we know about the “qinghaosu”?A．It is extracted from the sweet wormwood plant at room-temperature.B．TuYouyou and her team spent three years finding it out.C．Tu and all her teammates volunteered to test it on themselves.D．It has saved millions of lives around the world.20．The underlined word “approach” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．idea B．way C．discussion D．drug21．We can find that Tu Youyou ________.A．took all the credit by herself B．did a lot and never gave upC．succeeded in curing malaria by accident D．won the Nobel Prize shortly after the success 22．We can infer that the writer’s writing purpose is to ________.A．praise traditional solution in China B．encourage young people to learn medicineC．show how the qinghaosu treats malaria D．make Chinese old remedies more popular05Liu Jichen, a student from Tsinghua University, has developed a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Plate”. ___23___ a meal, users can open the mini-program and take a photo of their ___24___ plates.

专题05 阅读理解七选五距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。

以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。

做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。

总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。

在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。

英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。

另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。

题型简介七选五作为高考英语全国卷中的一道必考和重点题型，考查以说明文为主，内容、主题多是社会生活和文化科技；题型以段中句为主，段首句和段尾句为辅。

主要考查考生的逻辑能力,包括整篇语言逻辑和句与句之间上下文逻辑关系的判断;备选答案中含有两个干扰选项,这两个干扰选项在表面上看往往与正确答案有一定的相关性,这给考生解题带来很大的困难；文章篇幅较长，解题时间有限，一旦出错，往往一错错一串，是特别容易丢分的题型。

与完形填空相比,补全短文空缺的是5个句子，无法从句子层面寻找线索，所以分析语篇结构和理清空格与上下文之间的逻辑关系显得异常重要。

可以说，此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试，因此在要求上远远高于这两种题型。

考生有必要对这类题型的答题思路多练习，以提高自己在这个部分的应试能力。

1.我们的计算机系统出了毛病，但我觉得问题比较小。

We have a problem with the computer system, but I think it is fairly minor.2.父亲去世时我还小，不能独立生活。

就在那时，家乡的父老接过来养育我(my upbringing) 的责任。

My father died when I was too young to live on my own. The people of my hometown took over responsibility for my upbringing at that point.3.这些玩具必得在达到严格的安全要求后才可出售给儿童。

the toys have to meet strict safety requirements before they can be sold to children.4.作为新闻和舆论的载体(carrier)，广播和电视补充了而不是替代了报纸。

Radio and television have supplemented rather than replaced the newspaper as carriers of new and opinion.5.至于这本杂志，它刊载世界各地许多报纸杂志上文章的摘要。

When it comes to this magazine, it is a digest of articles from many newspapers and magazines around the world;1.虽然受到全球金融危机后果的巨大影响,但是我们仍然相信我们能够面对挑战,克服危机Though greatly affected by the consequences of the global financial crisis, we arestill confident that we can face up to the challenge and overcome the crisis.2.在持续不断的沙尘暴的威胁下，我们被迫离开我们喜爱的村庄，搬迁到新的地方。

But after we started using the books, I have to admit, they're actually pretty cool!The textbook is called "A New Era Comprehensive Business English Textbook 1" and it's all in full color with tons of pictures and illustrations. That makes it way more fun than those old black and white textbooks we used to have. The pictures really bring the lessons to life.The book starts off pretty basic, teaching simple phrases and vocabulary words related to business. Things like "Nice to meet you," "Thank you for your time," numbers, days of the week, etc. But it gets more advanced as you go.By the middle of the book, we were learning how to make appointments, place orders, negotiate deals and describe products. Those lessons came with really useful dialogues between business people that showed how the language is actually used. We'd read the dialogues out loud and practice the conversations.My favorite part is all the fun activities and games throughout the book. There are word searches, crossword puzzles, matching exercises and other stuff that makes practicing English way more enjoyable than just reading from the book over and over.One of the neat exercises had us working in small groups to role play being employees at a company. We had to handle situations like scheduling meetings, traveling for work, giving presentations and meeting with clients. It was like real life practice for being a business person!The textbook also has a ton of interesting readings about the business world and famous companies. There are sections on entrepreneurship, marketing, finance and more. It has really opened my eyes to all the different careers you can have and how businesses operate. Maybe I'll even start my own company one day!What I like best though, are all the little tips and advice boxes scattered throughout the lessons. They give great strategies for things like:• How to speak clearly and confidently• Managing meetings effectively• Networking and making connections• Resolving conflict s with coworkers• Negotiating the best dealsThis textbook is just jam-packed with so much good info for building business skills.

For example, you could say, "Our lemonade is fresh, tangy, and bursting with flavor!" See how those adjectives make your mouth water? That's the power of descriptive language!But that's not all. You'll also need to learn some persuasive language to convince people to buy from you. For instance, you could say, "Try our lemonade today and experience the ultimate refreshment!" or "Quench your thirst with our one-of-a-kind lemonade recipe!"Now, let's talk about customer service. You'll want to make sure your customers feel valued and appreciated. You could greet them with a friendly, "Welcome to our lemonade stand!" or "How can I help you today?" Remember, a smile goes a long way in making people feel comfortable.As your business grows, you might need to hire some help. That's where job advertisements come in. You could create a sign that says, "Lemonade stand seeking enthusiastic and hardworking helpers. Flexible hours and free lemonade included!"But running a business isn't just about making money. It's also about giving back to the community. You could organize a charity event where a portion of your lemonade sales goes to a good cause. You could call it "Lemonade for a Cause" or "Sip for a Smile."As you can see, the world of business English is vast and exciting. From marketing strategies to customer relations, financial management to community outreach, there's so much to learn and explore.So, what are you waiting for? Let's continue our journey together and discover the endless possibilities of businessEnglish. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be running a global lemonade empire!篇3A New Kind of TextbookHi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I just started using this really cool new textbook called "Comprehensive Business English for the New Era Student's Book 1" and I wanted to tell you all about it!First of all, the name is kind of long, but I like that it's straightforward about what the book covers - business English for modern times. I'm not a business person yet since I'm still a kid, but my parents say it's never too early to start learning important skills. Plus, English is one of the main languages used in business around the world, so getting good at it can open up lots of opportunities later on.The textbook itself is really colorful and engaging. It's got tons of pictures, graphics, dialogues and activities throughout. I know some textbooks can be kind of dry and boring, but this one totally isn't! The lessons are set up almost like little stories, following recurring characters in different workplace situations. Itmakes it way more interesting to learn when you can follow a narrative.For example, in one lesson two co-workers named Michael and Sophia have to collaborate on an important presentation. It walks through how they set up a meeting, divide up tasks, deal with any misunderstandings or conflicts, and ultimately prepare their materials. Along the way, it teaches tons of useful vocabulary, grammar and pragmatics for things like scheduling, negotiating, giving suggestions and so on. Super practical stuff that I can definitely see myself needing later in life!Another part I like is that it incorporates a lot of Chinese cultural elements and references. Some textbooks make everything seem so western-centric, but this one uses familiar examples and scenarios that are relevant to my actual environment here in China. That makes the material a lot more relatable and easier for me to engage with.The book also comes with tons of supplementary resources like audio recordings, video clips, online exercises and even some basic coding activities. I really appreciate how it uses multimedia and interactive elements to reinforce the lessons in different formats. It caters to various learning styles beyond just reading texts.Overall, what I've loved most so far is how practical and applicable all the content feels. It's not just some dry, theoretical overview of business concepts. The lessons systematically build important communication skills like giving presentations, participating in meetings, negotiating deals, corresponding over email, and so much more. I can totally picture myself needing abilities like those when I start my own career someday.I'll admit, some of the more advanced sections on things like accounting, investments and international trade have gone a bit over my head so far. But the great thing is that this is amulti-level series, so I can keep building on the foundations as I get older. For now, I'm focusing on mastering the basics like introducing myself professionally, talking about my skills and interests, discussing workplace culture, and so on.My parents seem really impressed that I'm getting exposed to this kind of content at my age. From their perspective, they wish they had access to materials like this when they were kids to get a head start. Maybe I'll even be able to help them out with some work English situations in the future!Who knows, this could be setting me up for all kinds of exciting potential careers later on - international businesswoman, translator, educator, entrepreneur...the possibilities seem wideopen. I'm just grateful to have such an engaging resource that makes me genuinely excited to crack open my textbook and learn.For any other kids out there who think English or business concepts seem intimidating, I'd highly recommend giving this book a look. It does such a great job of making the content feel approachable, practical and even fun. And it's never too early to start building skills that could open up awesome opportunities in the global marketplace someday. Thanks for listening to me go on about my new favorite textbook. Let me know if you decide to check it out too!篇4Learning Business English is Fun!Hey there! My name is Timmy and I'm here to tell you all about learning business English.

Recently, my teacher gave us a brand new English book called "New Era Business English Integrated Course Student Book 1" and I'm so excited about it!At first, I was a bit confused by the "Business English" part. I thought it would be all about boring stuff like numbers and office work. But boy, was I wrong! This book is packed with so many interesting topics and activities that make learning English a blast.Let me tell you about some of the cool things I've learned so far. In the first unit, we talked about introducing ourselves and greeting others. It was fun practicing different ways to say "hello" and learning about polite expressions. My favorite part was when we played a game where we had to walk around the classroom, introduce ourselves to our classmates, and ask them questions like "What's your name?" and "How are you today?"Another unit I really enjoyed was about colors and shapes. We learned the names of all the colors in English, and then we had to find objects in the classroom that matched each color. It was like a treasure hunt! We also played a game where we had to describe different shapes without using their names, and ourpartners had to guess what we were talking about. It was a bit tricky at first, but it really helped me practice my descriptive skills.But you know what's really cool about this book? It doesn't just focus on vocabulary and grammar. It also teaches us about different cultures and customs around the world. In one unit, we learned about famous landmarks and traditions from various countries. We even got to try some traditional snacks from different regions! It was so much fun and made me want to travel the world one day.The book also has a lot of fun activities and games that help us practice what we've learned. There are crossword puzzles, word searches, and even little stories or conversations that we can act out with our classmates. It's like we're not just studying English, but also having a great time together.One of my favorite parts of the book is the little cartoon characters that appear throughout the lessons. They're so cute and funny! Sometimes they tell jokes or give us tips on how to remember certain words or phrases. It's like having a little English-speaking buddy guiding us through the book.Overall, I'm having a blast with "New Era Business English Integrated Course Student Book 1." It's making learning Englishso much more enjoyable and interesting than I ever thought possible. I can't wait to see what other exciting topics and activities are in store for us as we continue through the book.If you're a kid like me who wants to learn English in a fun and engaging way, I highly recommend this book. It's not just about memorizing boring words and rules, but about exploring the world through language and having a great time while doing it. So, what are you waiting for? Let's dive into the wonderful world of English together!篇6New Era Comprehensive Business English Textbook 1Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I'm going to tell you all about learning business English. It's super important for when we grow up and get jobs. My teacher says we have to start learning it now so we can be really good at it later.First of all, what even is business English? It's the kind of English that people use when they work at companies and have meetings and do important business stuff. It's a little different from the English we use when we're just talking to our friends and families.One big part of business English is giving presentations. Can you imagine having to get up in front of a whole bunch of grown-ups and talk for a long time without messing up? It's really hard! But my teacher is helping us practice. We have to make PowerPoint slides and everything.Another important thing is writing emails and letters. In the business world, you can't just send texts and emojis like we do with our friends. You have to write formal emails using fancy words and being super polite and professional. It's kind of funny to think about, but that's how it works!Speaking of fancy words, we're also learning a lot of business vocabulary. Words like "strategic", "revenue", "stakeholders"...I'm not even sure what some of them mean yet! But my teacher says we'll get the hang of it if we keep practicing.Oh, and get this - there are different styles of business English depending on what country you're in! Like, the way they speak in business meetings in America is a little bit different from England or Australia. We're mostly learning American business English in my class. My teacher says it's the most common.Another big focus is on business writing skills. We've been working on how to write reports, proposals, memos and all that important documentation that businesses need. It's a lot ofserious writing practice, not like the fun stories we normally do in English class.Then there are things like negotiating, networking, giving presentations...wow, now that I think about it, we're covering a ton of stuff! No wonder my teacher says mastering business English takes a long time. She makes us do roleplaying activities too, where we pretend to be bosses and employees. It's actually kind of fun to playact as a grown-up for a change.One more thing I'll mention - my teacher is really big on teaching us proper business etiquette and how to be professional. She's always reminding us to make eye contact, have a firm handshake, speak clearly and confidently. She says those little things make a huge impression in the business world.Phew, I could probably go on, but I think you get the idea! Learning business English is no joke. It's a whole different language in a lot of ways. We're just kids, but my teacher wants to make sure we get a really solid head start. Who knows, maybe some of us will grow up to be big business leaders or international entrepreneurs someday!Well, that's all I've got for now. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll leave you with one of the fancy businesswords I've learned..."Synergy!" Yeah, I'm not totally sure what it means yet, but it sounds super important, doesn't it?。

一、A Working Community5、值得一提的是，我们没有谁一出生就属于这些社区，也不是后来我们搬了进来。

这些身份是我们随身携带的，没有人可以拿出文件证明我们是这个或那个群体的会员卡持有者。

然而，不知不觉中人们的身份更倾向于各自所从事的工作，而不是像以往一样由家庭住址来界定。

6、过去大多数彼邻而居的美国人彼此是同一个街区、教区、校区的成员。

今天的词典依然首先从地理的角度来定义社区，称之为“一个由居住在同一地方的人组成的群体”。

7、然而，如今的情况是居住和工作都在同一个地方的人极少，对更多的人来说家成了一个仅仅用来睡觉的地方。

我们的居住地被叫做“近郊居住区”，由于没有了孩子像过去那样起到沟通邻里关系的作用，许多人感到要叫出跟我们同住一条街的所有人的名字是件极不容易的事。

8、这不是说我们今天被分得更开了，而是好多人已经部分的友谊和大部分的日常社交生活从家里转移到了办文室。

随着越来越多的人走出家门去工作，工作的地方就变成了我们的街区。

9、50年代的下午茶成了80年代的喝咖啡的工间休息。

工作地的饮水冷却机、大厅、电梯、停车场是新社区的后院篱笆墙。

天天和我们共进午餐的人是给我们的母亲动手术的医生、孩子的数学老师、管道工、汽车修理工等。

10、人们曾经在杂货店的超市里可能是陌生人，但是却极可能在公司大厅的咖啡间里相识。

我们谈论一些人物，从街头办文室的老板，到运输部中的疯女人，到营销部的情人们。

难怪当研究者问及美国人关于工作他们最喜欢什么的时候，他们的回答是“和同事悠闲自在地闲扯”，当询问在家里做全职母亲的年轻妇女对工作最怀念什么时，她们说是工作中所接触过的人。

11、不是所有的住宅区都是空的，也不是所有的工作单位都是友好的。

多数人在这些环境里都曾有过复杂的经历。

然而，最近一位女性朋友告诉我她对工作单位里的人的了解程度要胜于对同一街区人的了解程度。

我们不仅把社区的概念从住宅区搬进了办公楼，上班时身上所佩戴的标志也把我们和异国他乡的人们和公司员工联系在一起。

新托福写作范文素材：朋友友谊话题Will your friends be there for you?1Friends also play a key role in helping us through the toughest times, of course.Socially isolated women with breast cancer are more likely to die from the illness because of the lack of care-giving and support from friends and family, according to a study at the University of California.'The benefits of friendships become even more important as we grow older, when events such as bereavement, divorce and people moving away, can reduce our social circle,' says clinical psychologist Sukie Bilkhu at Priory's Wellbeing Centre in Southampton. 'Close friendships provide us with an increased sense of belonging and self-worth that is incredibly important for our mental health and wellbeing.'What are your friendship needs?2Another factor to bear in mind is that we all have different friendship needs. 'The need for friends as we get older really varies according to each person's life experiences,' says Bilkhu. 'Some people value close-knit friends to help alleviate loneliness, while others feel happy and content in their own company. There are some who don't feel the need for any friendship "circles" as their immediate family fulfill this need. The key point is there isno "ideal" number of friends. What matters is the value a person places on friendships.'Interestingly, intelligence may also play a part in defining our friendship needs, according to a new study published in the British Journal of Psychology.Researchers found that the more social interactions with close friends a person had, the greater their self-reported happiness tended to be.Should you make more friends?3'The key is to explore what's really important in your life,' Bilkhu advises. 'If having large friendship circles isn't something that fulfils your psychological, physiological and emotional needs, you can explore other avenues instead. This might mean refreshing or rejuvenating your relationship with your partner or family, or developing relationships in other ways such as through music, writing, art, nature, healthy living or spirituality.' Indeed, having lots of friends doesn't necessarily make you happier or more fulfilled. It's worth remembering that friendships can also be a source of stress and conflict. Those old 'playground feelings' can still rear their heads on occasion: we've allfelt let-down, ignored or insulted (however mildly) by friends from time to time.So is it better to focus on a handful of close friendships? Or should we try to make new friends wherever we go? 'An alternative way to look at it is to be open to new possibilities of connecting with others,' says Bilkhu. 'As we grow older, we become stuck in our ways and can limit our potential for personal growth. So give yourself opportunities to "connect" wherever you are. And if friendships are high on your list of priorities,remain open to forging new ones. But remember, there are plenty of other ways to be happy and content.'托福写作范文素材摘抄：Friends also play a key role in helping us through the toughest times, of course.朋友在帮助我们度过最艰难的时刻的时候扮演着一个关键角色。
