In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into the ir 90’s has doubled since 1965.However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations are actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.；4. What does the underline d word “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2? A．Confusing. B．Terrible. C．Controllable. D．Inspiring.；5. What problem may baby boomers face?A．A crisis after retirement. B．Being knocked out in the future. C．Failing to receive good healthcare. D．Tending to double their life expediencies.；6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The features of high-tech jobs. B．The way out for baby boomers. C．Potential industries in the future. D．The importance of developing technology.；7. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?A．Have a good sense of crisis. B．Avoid retiring at an early age. C．Look for many part-time jobs. D．Improve digital literacy actively.CGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become toomuch? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn't exclusive to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avo id showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.；8. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A．Unique.B．Similar.C．Relevant.D．Fundamental.；9. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A．To draw others' attention.B．To satisfy others' curiosity.C．To remove negative feelings.D．To develop good relationships.；10. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A．Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B．Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C．Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D．Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.；11. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A．Reflecting on past bad manners.B．Showing a great many expensive goods.C．Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D．Recording unforgettable moments with friends.二、七选五阅读For most Americans, the weeks between Thanks giving and New Year’s Day are a time when we’re eating more than we should. 12 The problem wasn’t really thesmall weight increase but that study participants never lost what they put on during the holiday season.So, how do you avoid gaining weight without missing out on the holiday fun? There are several small changes we can make.We have to make time to exercise. With all the shopping that needs to be done and the holiday get-togethers, the first thing cut out of our schedules is often exercise. 13 Exercise not only burns off those holiday treats, it reduces our stress as well.14 Allow yourself to enjoy the foods you really love, but choose wisely and watch your portion (份额) size. If you’ve looked forward to Aunt Sally’s Christmas cookies all year, have one. Mindful eating is the key. Take a small portion of your favorite dessert or high-calorie dish and then enjoy it.Try never to go to a holiday celebration hungry. When you are really hungry, you tend to eat more than you normally would. 15 Then you’ll find it easier to control how much you eat.Weigh yourself at least once a week on the same day, at the same time and on the same scale (称). It’s important to keep in mind that our weight can change because of salt intake or other factors. 16A．Mind your table manners while eating.B．You don’t need to give up all of the holiday goodies.C．However, knowing your weight helps to keep you on track.D．Have a high-fiber, low-calorie snack before attending a party.E．A study found participants gained just over a pound during this time.F．Instead, this is the time we should put working out at the top of our to-do list. G．Researchers suggest people eat smaller meals more times during the course of the day.三、完型填空Sammie Vance approached her principal at Haley Elementary with the idea of installing “buddy benches” into her school playground to help others feel less lonely.

D．A story book.（二）During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”；4. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference?A．The deal on loss and damage.B．The deal on using fossil fuels.C．The deal on rainforest preservation.D．The deal on helping climate refugees.；5. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change? A．More greenhouse gases.B．Massive deforestation.C．Shortage of money and supplies.D．Terrible weather conditions.；6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Climate change is influencing people’s live s.B．17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.C．Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.D．There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.；7. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with?A．Never put off till tomorrow.B．Many hands make light work.C．Knowledge starts with practice.D．No way is impossible to courage.（三）What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A．Relaxed. B．Started. C．Appeared suddenly. D．Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A．People became more inventive.B．People worked fewer hours per day.C．People worked fewer hours overall.D．People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A．he could produce more cars.B．they could spend money on cars.C．he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D．they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A．Because we start work later than we used toB．Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C．Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D．Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall. Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate. 15 Four ideas to try: a guided meditation with the help of an app; forest bathing－a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, which basically means taking a long walk or hik e in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or time cuddling and playing with your pet.16Why not prepare your favorite clothes for Monday? Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱). It’s also a good idea to get some nice coffee or music ready, which will give you something to look forward to on your Monday commute.A．Give yourself something to look forward on Monday.B．Even Sunday afternoons turn sour as we think of the workweek ahead.C．Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you come home from work. D．Therefore, starting a Sunday stress-relieving habit can begin a week feeling strong and focused.E．Try creating a relaxing and winding down Sunday night so that you can recharge and get ready for Monday.F．Taking on just a few of these simple tips every Sunday will help you launch a productive, less stressful week.G．Wailing until the last moment to do weekend chores like paying bills or doing laundry can leave you anxious and stressed on Sunday.三、完型填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

2021年高三英语下学期限时训练试题第一部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ASimply, language is what people and animals use to municate their thoughts, ideas and feelings. Of course, animals municate with each other differently from humans, and each type of animal municates differently. For example, a bee uses a dance to tell the rest of the bees in the hive (蜂窝) where there is food, while whales municate through the use of pleasant-sounding sounds. One could say then, that animals use different languages.Like animals, people also use different languages. Each culture has its own words and symbols that are used by people within that culture to municate with others in the same culture. For example, a person living in Japan will use the Japanese language to municate with other Japanese. Unlike animals though, some cultures use more than one language. People within these cultures are said to be either bilingual (双语的) or multilingual (多语的). One such place is Canada. It is very likely that a person living in Canada may speak both French and English. Likewise, a person living in Switzerland may speak Italian, German and French.Not only do people use different languages to municate, but languages also have different dialects. A dialect is a difference of a language whichuses words and grammar somewhat differently from the standard form of thesame language. For example, people who live in Manchester, England speak a dialect that is a little different from people who live in London, England; however, people in both cities speak English.There are also some people who don’t use a spoken language at all. These people use their hands to municate. This type of language is called sign language and is most monly used by people who are deaf.Now that we know how people municate, we are faced with a question. Are we part of a certain culture because of the language we speak, or do we speak a particular language because we are part of that culture? To put it more simply, is a Chinese person Chinese because he speaks Chinese, or does he speak Chinese because he was born in China? What part doeslanguage play in the definition (定义) of culture?1. The examples of bees and whales are used to show ______.A. animal languages are simple to learnB. people can understand animal languagesC. different animals use different languagesD. animals municate with each other2. The main idea of the second paragraph is that ______.A. people municate with those in the same cultureB. there can be different languages in the same cultureC. a culture can be expressed in several languagesD. the symbol of a culture is the language spoken by its people3. To judge whether a person speaks a dialect, you can depend on ______.A. what words and grammar he usesB. whether he uses sign languageC. where he livesD. who he municates with4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The culture of different countriesB. The language in different culturesC. The development of languageD. The meaning of the languageBThe Canada’s Most Interesting Towns Contest is started by Reader’s Digest Association (Canada) and is open to all Canadians.

Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most mon reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.B. The importance of confidence to success.C. The difference of people’s confidence.D. The judgment on one’s confidence.9. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A. who think their goals are hard to reachB. who expect to give guidance to othersC. who want to ask the boss for a raiseD. who dream to be recognized experts10. What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. importantB. attractiveC. outgoingD. energetic11. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.B. To make full use of one’s advantages.C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D. To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities.DMany parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(衣物柜)? Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms and cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide relief for parents exhausted by making cash donations to support schools.While parents can always turn off the television or the p uter, they can’t keep advertising out of schools. This isn’t the first time the issue has e up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents’ groups successfully fought a pla n by a pany called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow panies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools.In St. Francis, Minn., school recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, says, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports, and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”However, Susan Linn, an educational expert, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and on products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”Readers, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for schools through donations?12. Schools allow ads into schools to _____.A. reduce parents’ burdensB. solve their financial problemsC. offer kids a wide choice of goodsD. imp rove their students’ living conditions13. Edward Saxton holds the view that _______.A. schools choose ads carefullyB. ads in schools should not be too muchC. schools should be a place free from adsD. in-school ads do no harm to young kids14. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The bad effects of ads on kids.B. Efforts to stop in-school advertising.C. Whether ads should be allowed in schools.D. Whether parents should run fundraisers for schools.15. Who are the intended readers of the text?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Educators.D. Businessmen.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高三英语晚自习（限时训练）一、阅读理解AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gog h’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish paint er, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting shows the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.1. What is special about The Starry Night?A．It was set in a conventional hospital.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C．It was donated to a museum by a collector.D．It is a romantic work in the early 20th century.2. What can we infer from the name “Guernica”?A．It was a war symbol.B．It was named after a painter.C．It reflects different people’s lives.D．It reminds us of a kind of war atmosphere.3. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?A．To describe four scenes. B．To expand painting knowledge.C．To praise four well-known artists. D．To introduce four famous paintings.BIt scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. The se words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (一种编程语言).Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.；4. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?A．It’s unnecessary for kids to grasp modal verbs.B．Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.C．Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.D．Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.；5. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe .A．a good command of Python is enough for programmersB．the field of artificial technology still shows great promiseC．being expert in language means advantages in competitionD．computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language；6. What is the author’s attitude towards grammar teaching?A．Positive. B．Negative. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.；7. What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.B．Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.C．Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.D．There’s much room for im provement in grammar research.CRecycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling aneconomic(经济) problem. It’s estimated(估计)only 9% of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that.Stability is one of plastic greatest qualities and downside. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解)but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It’s a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable.She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. “That's a very limited process” she says, due to the requirement that plastics be “clean” . The other, which can handle dirtier p lastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis(热解). Intense heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but “it’s not economical,’’ she says.BioCellection’s solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US study discovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉)could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capabl e of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. “We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before, Wang says.Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping hags, the three-hour process breaks clown plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products.“Right now we’re able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals,” she adds, saying they’re working to increase that figure.8. Why has so little plastic been recycled?A．Plastic is chemically stable. B．Recycling plastic led to pollution. C．We produced various plastics. D．Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun.9. What does Wang think of the two current methods?A．Highly effective and dynamic. B．Expensive and pollution-causing. C．Limited and energy-consuming. D．Widely used and recognized.10. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics?A．Polyethylene powder. B．Chemical products.C．Plastic films. D．A catalyst.11. What is the text mainly about?A．Miranda Wang and her company. B．A new plastic recycling method. C．The greatest downside of plastic. D．Transformation of plastic waste.二、七选五阅读How strong are you?That is a difficult question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman. But, really, I want to ask ... how do you define (定义) your strength? How do you know your limits? When pushed, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.12Strength is not always just about physical strength. Rather, it's about willpower, discipline and drive. 13 I know some people who are intelligent, but they get verylittle done in their jobs. And I know others who find work very difficult, but are able to move mountains by their hard work. They have inner strength.Limiting yourselfWhat I have observed is that most people limit themselves. They limit their output according to how limited they imagine their abilities and strengths to be. Sometimes these limits are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on what they think their abilities are. 14Pushing it ...Many people are working out, but nowhere near as much as they could.15 Pushing yourself is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago.But, this is also true when it comes to inner strength.Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your limits to see if they are simply what you imagine them to be. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.You are stronger than you thinkMost people underestimate (低估) their strength. As you go through your day, test your limits. Push yourself to find your true limits and define your strength. 16 A．Physical abilityB．What is strength?C．The same applies to daily life.D．It's about the ability to get things done.E．Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.F．If you want to be stronger, you have to push yourself.G．When discovering how much you've really got, you may surprise even yourself.三、完型填空Years ago, a neighbour kid kicked a football and broke a small 17 of our house. We were a family living on a small 18 at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday.Over the years, I’d sometimes ask some advice from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house, an 19 process—$ 15, 000. It was simply out of 20 and I turned it down again.21 , the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, it kept 22 me. I knew I needed to deal with it, but I had built up the 23 so much in my mind that I put it off again and again.Then my wife had a job 24 , and we needed to move. A 25 buyer couldn’t get a loan on the house if there was a 26 window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing. It had already been for at least 5 years.I used some rust (锈) remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a27 pull. To my 28 , it easily moved. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a 12 fix.I could have fixed the problem for 12 the 29 day when it happened. But I let it worry me for years. 30 , this isn’t just about my window. Many of us tend to livewith broken windows of one type or another for years. We suffer more in 31 than in reality. Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.17. A．roof B．window C．door D．curtain18.

高三英语晚自习限时高效练学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________一、阅读理解AMy husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed?；1. Why did the author do pet sitting?A．To raise fund. B．To protect the environment.C．To cover travel expenses. D．To shoot beautiful beaches.；2. What does the author intend to convey through her story?A．Pet sitting is a new type of occupation.B．The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination.C．Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity.D．Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution.；3. How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean?A．Significant. B．Challenging.C．Adventurous. D．Dreadful.；4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Changing Lifestyles by Pet SittingB．Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting TravelC．Dealing with Global Environment PollutionD．The Availability of Pet Sitting in the CaribbeanBAn asteroid(小行星)is moving very fast toward Earth, threatening every human being on the planet. Humanity has one shot to save itself with brave, selfless heroes piloting a spacecraft into the universe to destroy the asteroid.But that’s the movies. On Monday evening, NASA sh owed what the reality was like. There was an asteroid, but it wasn’t threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying on advanced technology from the Earth. The human heroes of the mission were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Ba ltimore and Washington, D．C．And there was a collision(碰撞). In this case it was the final act of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in November, 2021 and then raced around the sun for 10 months as it pursued its target—a small space rock, Dimorphos, seven million miles from Earth.”For the first time, humanity has demonstrated the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid,“ said Ralph Semmel, director of the lab. In its last moments, the spacecraft sent back a series of photographs. DART had spotted Dimorphos only an hour earlier, as a dot of light. Then, Dimorphos grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were on their feet, cheering. ”Normally, losing signal from the spacecraft is ve ry bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal outcome.“With movies like ”Deep Impact“, Hollywood has long been enthusiastic about the prospect of disaster raining down from the universe. ”In reality, big asteroids that would cause planet-wide destruction occur very rarely, once every 10 million years or so. Hence, planners at NASA and elsewhere devote their attention to smaller ones in space, which would not set off mass extinctions, but can release more energy than a nuclear bomb. If any of those asteroids turns out to be on a collision course with Earth, the DART mission shows that changing its orbit is a realistic possibility.；5. What’s paragraph 1 describing?A．A movie plot. B．A natural disaster.C．A witness account. D．A virtual experiment.；6. What’s the mission of DART?A．Racing around the sun. B．Tracking asteroids in space. C．Changing the orbit of Dimorphos. D．Establishing a permanent space lab.；7. Why were the engineers cheering?A．They obtained clear desired photos. B．They made a safe landing from space. C．DART crashed Dimorphos into pieces. D．DART completed its mission successfully.；8. What’s the significance of the DART mission?A．Preventing the earth from being destroyed.B．Providing a solution to an asteroid impact.C．Fueling people’s interest in Hollywood movies.D．Increasing chances of humans going into space.二、七选五阅读People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to ''tell'' people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. 9Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. 10 Their personalities might be similar too. For example, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed to war.11 One study shows that many fast food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. 12 Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is common picture of them.Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign (星座) have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, be tween March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. 13 Aquarius (January 21 to February 19) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol (胆固醇) are sometimes problems for them.B．Some people eat mostly fast food.C．They know about the “better things in life”.D．Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.E．People's personalities have something to do with their parents.F．Many people avoid alcohol, which makes the body lose too much water. G．Sagittarius (November 22 to December 22) like ethnic foods from many different countries.三、完形填空Children are naturally curious beings, but getting them to study something they aren’t interested in can be a difficult task. Teachers often find themselves trying to reward in the 14 of stars or threat of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren’t the 15 ?Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to as “internal motivation”. Studies have found that children who see learning as 16 and important are better at it. And it’s easy to understand why —it’s difficult to study something we aren’t 17 .External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its 18 too. Motives for achieving good grades or fear of being punished have been 19 to benefit older students. However, it seems that at an early age, it doesn’t have as much effect. So for this group, how can we stimulate that 20 ?According to some experts, the key is to 21 some degree of freedom. Let the child see their learning as their 22 will. If you want to teach a child to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a comic book or classic literature —the aim of stimulating their desire for reading is still 23 . Likewise, 24 a relationship with them as learners — listen to their negative feelings. Explain why an activity is valuable, even if it isn’t 25 fun.So it seems that the most 26 way of motivating children, especially the young ones, might 27 stimul ating that internal motivation. Maybe it’s time to release them from the reigns of threats and rewards, and give them a bit more 28 of how they learn.14. A．form B．name C．order D．right15.

It is rare to see people sitting and simply thinking while waiting for the next part of the day or night. We have also observed people playing with their mobile phones while having dinner with others or in the presenceof their families. It seems that everyone is experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out) or a strong addiction to electronic devices.Why do adults, middle school students, and even young children turn to electronics while waiting?A recent study by Hatano et al. (2022) found that in different cultures people underestimate how enjoyable and attractive simply thinking might be. In a series of studies on university students in both Japan and the United Kingdom, the participants rated their level of expected enjoyment and engagement in simply thinking and then rated their actual level of enjoyment and participation in thinking after the waiting period. During the waiting period, the participants only had the option to think. They were not allowed to take electronics into the waiting area. The participants were not necessarily happy about thinking. Instead, they underestimated the benefits related to thinking and thought that thinking was aversive before the waiting period, which only allowed thinking without electronic products. After this waiting period, they admitted that thinking was more interesting and easier than expected.Thinking can include problem-solving, goal-setting, and a variety of other creative tasks. These outcomes can be extremely productive and satisfying. Perhaps it is time for parents and educators to teach chil dren about the importance of paying attention to one’s thoughts. We need to be better role models and put down our own phones when there is an opportunity to simply wait and think. We need to provide these opportunities for both ourselves and our children.；4. What’s the purpose of the author describing the scene about people’s using electronics?A．To introduce the importance of electronics.B．To tell what bad influences electronics have.C．To voice his views on thinking while waiting.D．To explain why we should have better ways of communication.；5. What does the underlined word “aversive” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Satisfactory. B．Boring. C．Worried. D．Meaningful.；6. What should parents and educators do according to the text?A．Provide opportunities for children.B．Pick up the phones while waiting.C．Underestimate the benefits of thinking.D．Tell children about the significance of thinking.；7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Why should we put our phones down?B．How can electronic products affect us?C．How do we think freely by using phones?D．Why does thinking while waiting make people smart?CIn the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular (心血管的) mortality (死亡率).Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and lower mortality is obvious. Between 1990 and 2019, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with mortality due to cardiovascular, respiratory (呼吸的) or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results showed that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates were lower. This connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.Furthermore, the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: The reduction in mortality rate connected with trees planted 11 to 15 years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past 1 to 5 years. This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in mortality, and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health. This study doesn’t provide a direct opinion into how trees improv e health. However, the result that larger trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is telling, because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution, moderating temperatures, and reducing noise.“We observed the effect both in green and l ess green neighborhoods, which suggests that street tree planting benefits both,” said Geoffrey H. Donovan, first author of the study. “Be-sides, the benefits of tree planting greatly outweigh (大于) the cost. Our results provide an important evidence-base f or clear measures (e. g. planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people.”；8. How long did it take Friends of Trees to plant 49,246 street trees?A．5 years. B．10 years. C．15 years. D．30 years.；9. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3?A．Women gain no benefit from trees.B．Tree planting can cure respiratory diseases.C．Older trees contribute more to public health.D．Newly planted trees can better improve public health.；10. What does Donovan suggest doing?A．Protecting trees in forests. B．Planting more street trees.C．Joining Friends of Trees. D．Getting more benefits from nature.；11. How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?A．By listing numbers. B．By stating results.C．By describing processes. D．By raising questions.二、七选五阅读Is it time to ditch sugar?It’s no secret that sugar can cause issues if you’re indulging (放任) in a little too much of the sweet stuff. Still, most Americans are eating too much sugar. The harmful effects it can have on your physical health are well studied. 12 .Sugar can affect your moodYou probably turn to a doughnut (甜甜圈) or soda for an extra boost during a long day. Yet sugar may not be such a positive pick-me-up after all. Recent research indicates that sugary treats have no positive effect on mood. 13 .One study published in 2017 found that consuming a diet high in sugar can increase the chances of mood disorders. A more recent 2019 study found that regular consumption of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) and added sugars were related to higher feelings of anxiety in adults over age 60.14It’s hard to avoid reaching for comfort foods, especially after a difficult day. But the cycle of consuming sugar to manage your emotions may only make your feelings of sadness, tiredness, or hopelessness worse. Multiple studies have found a link between diets high in sugar and depression.15 . These can lead to depression and may even increase the long-term risk of developing a mental health disorder in some people.Sugar destroys your brain powerEmerging research has found that diets high in sugar can damage cognitive functioning, even in the absence of extreme weight gain or too much energy intake. A 2015 study found that consuming high levels of sugar-sweetened drinks made neurocognitive functions like decision making and memory worse. 16 . But a more recent study found that healthy volunteers in their 20s scored worse on memory tests and had poorer appetite control after just 7 days of eating a diet high in saturated fat and added sugars.Although more studies are needed to solidify the effects on mental health of sugar consumption, it’s important to consider how diet can affect your well-being.A．Sugar can weaken your ability to deal with stressB．Granted, the research was done on ratsC．Overconsumption of sugar triggers imbalances in certain brain chemicalsD．Sugar can increase your risk for developing depressionE．In fact, sugar may have the opposite effect over timeF．However, the effect on mental health is worth taking a second lookG．If you’re dying for sweets, here’s what to eat instead三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute,which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public topics. He says that a longsummer vacation is not reasonable in today . ’s worldCan American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions ofchildren spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doingshopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn ’t need an education to get a goodjob. But now things have changed. For today ’s students, academic skills are important to studentsfuture success, but such skills are affected in the summe rtime. Many nations don ’t give children anAmerican-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive （连续的）weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the globalmarketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.Summer vacation also causes challenges for today ’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% offamilies had a stay-at-home Mom. Now, two-thirds of American children live in households whereevery adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someonemust watch the kids.But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement.Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose important ground in the summertime.A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it shouldallow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would havemore time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a great thing.But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.Title: Long Summer VacationTheme A long summer vacation doesn ’t 1 sense in today ’s world.2 weeks in most AmericanVacation lengthschoolsBasicInformationStudents ’activities ●Sending messages and watching TV ●Playing video games●Doing 3 .Putting student ’acsademi c futuresat risk.Affect academic 5 .
