题型针对练(三)——段中句类Test1(新高考Ⅰ卷)FitnessMagazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,” while another read: “ 1 ” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle(微妙) competition.So, how do you find a workout partner?First of all, decide what you want from that person. 2 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 3 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 4You and your partner will probably have different skills. 5 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit.

The crunchy(爽脆的) bite. The buttery finish. People will recognise the smell and flavour of their favourite moviegoing snacks anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes focus on the big screen?1 The main reason is the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and making it didn’t require special equipment.2 That is how popcorn got introduced to the silver screen.Popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. 3 It was originally grown in Central America and became popular in the US in the mid-1800s. Compared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to make, and it got easier when the mobile steam powerpopcorn-maker was invented. In the late 19th century a large number of independent popcorn suppliers became widely available. 4 Since popcorn was cheap to make, it was also cheap to buy, which increased the popularity of this snack during the Great Depression. The Depression increased consumer spending on cheaper lus such as popcorn and movies, and the two industries teamed up. 5 By the mid-1940s, however, movie theatres began to have their own concession stands in the lobby. The introduction of the popcorn-driven concession stand to movie theatres kept the movie theatre industry running smoothly, and popcorn has been a basic movie-watching food ever since.A.A few aspects made popcorn the typical movie snack.B.They were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.C.Therefore, movie theatres attracted more and more customers.D.The secret of popcorn’s pleasant taste lies in the special material.E.It’s also the name for the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack.F.Theatres would allow a popcorn salesman to sell popcorn outside for a daily fee.G.Popcorn also got popular at a time when theatres badly needed an economic increase.Test3(湖北武汉高三4月质检)HowtoChoosetheRightUniversityDegreeforYouChoosing the right university degree is perhaps one of the biggest decisions that you might make in your life. If you are in the process of applying to a university and aren’t sure which degree to choose, here are some things you can do to help you make the right choice.1Many teens who are in the process of applying to a university end up being pressured by parents or other family members to apply to study subjects that they are good at but don’t really enjoy.2 Remember, it’s always easier to improve your knowledge andskills around a certain subject if you are truly passionate about it.Getsomeworkexperience.There’s nothing like actually eething to help you determine what you might want to do. 3 But you may be able to spend a day in the office or workplace shadowing people who work in those careers and asking them questions.Thinkaboutyourfuturegoals.When you think about your future goals, don’t just think about the work that you want to do—consider the other goals that you have for your life as well. 4 If so, a career as an English teacher or a translator might be the perfect option for you. Perhaps you want a job where you can help others every day, and then medicine, nursing or counselling could be an ideal choice. 5 Then degrees in film, art, and architecture are great choices.A.Think about what you like.B.Do you want to travel a lot?C.You don’t have to be employed.D.Think about what you’re good at.E.Maybe you want to have many fans.F.Try not to let others push this on you.G.Maybe you’re a very creative person.Test4(湖南长郡十五校高三联考第二次考试)Being a teenager can be difficult, since you’re dealing with higher expectations and the process of finding your place in the world. 1 The following are things you can do to achieve that!2 Everyone is different in their teenage years. Some teens prefer to spend time with friends, while others prefer to study and work; some prefer to be quiet wallflowers(待在一旁的人), while others are loud. Saying that there’s only one way to enjoy your teenage years is wrong.Develop your sense of self, focusing more on your own thoughts.3 Stop paying so much attention to them as many of them are basedon what other people think, instead of what you think. Go ahead and do what you want, without factoring others’ opinions in.Work on your work ethic(职业道德). What you accomplish in your teenage years may determine your opportunities in your adulthood, so dedicate some time to studying and do your best. Learn how to prioritise, whether it’s with schoolwork, or any extra-curricular activities. Boost your studying skills. 4Keep good relations with your family as much as possible. 5 It’s the building blocks for all relationships you develop, whether they’re friendships, romantic relationships, or a family you choose to have later on in life. And plus, you see them every day—why not make it nice to spend time with them?A.Avoid rushing to figure out who you are.B.For lots of people, the teenage years are full of worries.C.But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the teenage years.D.Family is one of the most important connections in your life.E.They may not seem enjoy able, but they’re helpful later on in life.F.Understand that there’s no invariable way to enjoy your teenager years.G.Being a teenager is not necessarily any easier or more difficult than other life stages.参考答案题型针对练(三)——段中句类Test1【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

阅读七选五保分练(三)Test 1[2023·新课标Ⅱ卷]As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. __1__ You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.·Paint often and paint from life. There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lives, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. __2__·Continually chall enge yourself to try something new. __3__ Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we've all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.·__4__Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. __5__ Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.A.Get out of your comfort zone.B．Make career plans and set goals.C．Don't throw away your beginner art.D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.E.You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.F.Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.G.You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 2[2023·武汉市高三模拟]Lake Baikal, the biggest body of fresh water on Earth near Russia's border with Mongolia, is home to several unusual animals, including the world's only species of freshwater seal (海豹).Seals exist in large quantities in Baikal, about 100，000 of them, though the lake is poor in nutrition. __1__. A study just published by Watanabe Yuuki of the National Institute of Polar Research in Tokyo suggests the answer is tiny organisms.Most seals eat fish. And Baikal seals do, indeed, have needle­pointed teeth. But in 1982 researchers noted that they developed a second sort of specialized tooth behind those canines (犬齿). They have sharp teeth which look like combs (梳子). __2__. But Dr Watanabe guessed that they might be an adaptation for feeding on otherstrange creatures in the lake.Seals arrived in Baikal 2 million years ago, from the Arctic Ocean. So too did some much smaller sea creatures, known as amphipods. These have grown into more than 340 species.__3__. But Dr Watanabe wondered if the Baikal seals' comb­like teeth might enable them to filter (过滤) these tiny creatures from the water in sufficient quantities to make them useful food sources. __4__.Records showed that the seals would dive in with their mouths open and collect amphipod groups that form at night. Dr Watanabe estimated that each seal catches an average of 57 amphipods per dive. __5__， for the seals do hunt fish as well. But they also compete with those fish for the amphipods, thus partially bypassing a link in the food chain and perhaps maintaining themselves in larger numbers than what would otherwise be possible.A．The needlelike canines are necessaryB．So how they do so well has been a puzzleC．This has led to their numbers increasing sharplyD．At the time, nobody knew what to make of themE．He therefore used waterproof cameras to observe a few sealsF．Cameras remained attached to some seals for between two and four daysG．Sea mammals of the size of seals would normally see amphipods as too small to hunt[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 3[2023·济南市高三模拟]“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for，” said John Augustus Shedd, an earl y 20th century author. Throughout COVID­19, we've all become used to assessing risk in new ways. We've come to understand, though we can never get rid of risk altogether，we have great power to make choices both large and small to protect ourselves. __1__ It stops us from stepping outside of our comfort zones and trying new things.Developmental psychologists talk about “positive risks”—socially acceptable risks that our lives can benefit from. __2__ But what about those who develop into adults? Researchers have found that happiness for older adults is being able to choose how they spend their time, including ways that are adventurous, new and even mildly risky，like hiking or other outdoor activities.One guide to positive risk management lists ways that people can make sure their risks are on the “safe” side of the risk range. For example, to ensure a successful bike ride, you should in advance equip yourself with a fully­charged cell phone and a full water bottle. __3__ Or if you are concerned about your physical capacity, consult a certified trainer or a medical professional before departure.__4__ This means adapting to changing situations. In response to the deadly virus，people choose to step back into normal life only after they are vaccinated. In this way, people could be confident that the risk is tolerable.Nobody wants to be needlessly risky. But using our newly­acquiredrisk­assessment tools, we can once again learn and grow in our lives. __5__ A．Take risks in a positive way.B．But the self­protective mind state carries its own risk.C．Overall happiness is one benefit of positive risk­taking.D．Remember to tell one of your friends or families your destination.E．Besides taking preventive steps, flexible thinking is also encouraged.F．Like a ship sailing away from its harbor, that is what we were built to do.G．For teenagers, this means risks like running for a monitor or trying out for a team.[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________Test 4[2023·武汉市高三调研]Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don't mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that extraordinarily lacks characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking，but Paris's natural resources don't hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. __1__. It turned out that I was too optimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I had expected. __2__. The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. __3__.I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn't finish it. __4__. It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. __5__. It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn't always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).A．Hiking could make me flyB．Hiking gave time for my mind to wanderC．I thought I would finish the journey with easeD．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding meE．I was satisfied with the landscape along the wayF．It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed beforeG．A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities[答题区]1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________阅读七选五保分练（三）Test 1语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会——生活方式——介绍艺术之旅的好建议【文章大意】文章介绍了一些开始艺术之旅的好建议。

考点分类练(三)代词线索类Passage 1(2024湖南岳阳二模)Anger is the most destructive emotion.When in a temper,you make hasty ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret.You will also regret language spoken without thought.How to stop being angry 1Change your attitude to the way the world works.You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely.2Also,you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you,nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.The answer is to be a bit more flexible and loosen your hold on life.Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion.There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things.Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA.Gandhi was angry about British domination in India.3 Use anger to help you not prevent you.4Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger,but all that happens is that the anger is held back.A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause.When trying to get to the root cause,be prepared to be honest with yourself.Once you know why you get mad,it is possibleto deal with the cause.Take positive steps to help you overcome feelings of anger.5Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes,and you will stop being angry.A.Stop trying to manage your anger.B.Try to control it when you get angry.C.Here are ways that you can counter the causes of anger.D.In conclusion,you must recognize that anger is something you can control.E.Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.F.Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you frustrated and angry.G.They both used anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice.Passage 2(2024湖南张家界二模)It’s obvious that our society favors the outgoing personality,so being introverted(内向的) has always been seen as something that needs to be “fixed”.However,there is no fault in be ing introverted. 6Introverts have hidden powers.7While others are busy chatting,introverts observe things most people are unawareof.Sometimes we can even read people.While it may seem introverts are always zoned out,we’re actually analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one day share with you.Introverts also keep the world balanced.In a world that can’t stop talking,the ability to listen to what each other has to say is an important virtue that will assist us in building peaceful relationships of understanding.8By listening to whatever people pour out,introverts help maintain the order of the world.Introverts can self-recharge.Though the outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in crowds,introverts are self-recharging powerhouses.9Their energy is found through loneliness.10In the noise of chatterboxes,their voices often get drowned out.There’s nothing more disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak,only to be interrupted by the extroverts(外向者).While extroverts may speak every thought that comes to mind,an introvert will choose their thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their best to share.So next time,all you have to do is to be willing to listen.A.Unluckily,introverts are faced with a big challenge.B.And this is exactly what our introverts are born with.C.Introverts have shown the potential to be great leaders.D.Extroverted people would have no one to listen to them.E.Instead,we should appreciate introverts for various reasons.F.They don’t need to constantly put themselves out there to be lively.G.Just because that we introverts don’t say much doesn’t always mean we’re clueless.Passage 3 (2024福建莆田二模)Almost everyone has felt something similar:wearing clothes we don’t li ke causes a general feeling of unease and discontent.This proves the fact that clothes have more than functions of protection or warmth in life.11As former fashion editor Caryn Franklin writes,“Fashion offers a dialogue rich with social and political me aning for those who want to unlock the language of clothes.”12We like or dislike certain colors because of the attributes or moods we associate with them.Those associations might be cultural.White,for example,is commonly associated with purity and innocence in Western cultures,whereas in China,people associate it with death and mourning.13The book The Little Prince offers a fictional example of the latter:The fox will love the sight of wheat,which had been meaningless to him,just because it will remind him of the color of the boy’s hair.As a result,associations can differ widely from person to person andculture to culture.Others might read into our outfits something different than we intend.14But as long as we are not wearing our clothes specifically to communicate certain qualities to others in a specific context (such as professionalism at a job interview),what others think of our clothes should be less important than what we think of them and why we choose to wear them.15A.Take colors,for instance.B.We ought to dress to benefit ourselves,not others.C.They also communicate something about the wearer.D.Thus,they will misunderstand our values and identity.E.Clothes have the psychological power to elevate our sense of self.F.Or we can form associations based on our personal experience and values.G.We might also associate certain fabrics with different qualities of character.Passage 4(2024河南濮阳一模)No matter how friendly your tone is or how honey-sweet you are in a conversation,when you start your sentences with one of these words (or both),the message to your recipient is “You are wrong.”16They are “No” and “But”.These words don’t say,“Let’s discuss this” or “I’d love to hear whatyou think about this” to people.They say,“You are wrong and I am right.” If your conversation companion is also eager to win at any cost,you will have a potential battle on your hands.The result 17 Are you interested in a little test to see how competitive your co-workers are Try this.For one week,keep a scorecard of how many times each person uses “No” or “But” to start a sentence.18 And,if you drill a little deeper,you’ll see patterns emerge.For instance,some people use these words to gain power.You’ll see how much people dislike it,consciously or not,and how it kills rather than opens up discussions.19Practically without even thinking,I keep count of their use of these two little words.It’s such an important indicator!If the numbers pile up in an initial meeting with a client.I’ll interrupt him or her and say,“We’ve been talking for almost an hour now,and do you realize that you have responded 17 times with either ‘No’ or ‘But’ ”Stop trying to defend your position and start monitoring how many times you begin remarks with “No” or “But”.20For example,“That’s true,but...” (Meaning:You don’t really think it’s true at all.) Another expression is “Yes,but...” (Meaning:Prepare to be contradicted.)A.Why do people like saying thisB.I use this technique with my clients.C.What are these conversation stopping wordsD.Nothing more can happen that will be productive.E.It’s human nature to like being accepted and recognized.F.You will be shocked at how frequently these words are used.G.Pay close attention to when you use these words in sentences.考点分类练(三)代词线索类（解析版）Passage 1(2024湖南岳阳二模)Anger is the most destructive emotion.When in a temper,you make hasty ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret.You will also regret language spoken without thought.How to stop being angry 1Change your attitude to the way the world works.You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely.2Also,you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you,nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.The answer is to be a bit more flexible and loosen your hold on life.Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion.There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things.Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA.Gandhi was angry about British domination in India.3Use anger to help you not prevent you.4Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger,but all that happens is that the anger is held back.A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause.When trying to get to the root cause,be prepared to be honest with yourself.Once you know why you get mad,it is possible to deal with the cause.Take positive steps to help you overcome feelings of anger.5Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes,and you will stop being angry.A.Stop trying to manage your anger.B.Try to control it when you get angry.C.Here are ways that you can counter the causes of anger.D.In conclusion,you must recognize that anger is something you can control.E.Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.F.Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you frustrated and angry.G.They both used anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice.答案与解析【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

七选五高考真题专项训练Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want. The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most businesses seek to make a profit （利润）一that is, they aim to achieve income that is more than the costs of operating the business. 1 Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers. 2Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning, direction, and control of the operations of a business. 3 One is the establishment （制定）of broad basic policies with respect to production; sales; the purchase of equipment, materials and supplies; and accounting. 4 The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments.

Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.•Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 2 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.• 3If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what youYe going to be talking about.4.As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking.

So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worseUrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 1 .In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural （乡村的）villages- It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 2— .The process of urbanization--- the migration （迁移）of people from the countryside to the city— was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. — 3Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.4— .Until modem times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite（精英）and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5 —Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.A.That kept cities very small.B.The rest live in small towns.C.The effects of urban living on people should be considered.D.Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.E.But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F.Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.G.Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.1 Try the following steps:Calm yourself 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）.Rethinking about you hurt, gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Don't forget to forgive yourself 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.A.Why should you forgive?B.How should you start to forgive?C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D.Try to see things from you offender's angle.E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time. 1 Some ways of dealing with stress 一like screaming or hitting someone 一don't solve (解决)much.

Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved intoa new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend.1 But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 2 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 3Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4.Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 4 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5.Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 5— Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A.Be cheerful.B.Do things together.C.Do not wait to be spoken to.D.Try not to find fault with your friends.E.Making new friends comes easy for some people.F.For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G.So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.1 Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. 2There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 3—Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers.Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.1.The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（i|攵乍艮员）. 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2.Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many differ ent things, say, "You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”3. 4Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product——a name brand butter and a generic （无商标产品），for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money, 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.A.Wise decisionsB.The value of moneyC.Permit the child to choose between them.D.Tell your child why he can— r cannot一have certain things.E.Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to youF.Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.G.The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it's a matter of logic（逻辑）一of being able to spot weaknesses in other people's arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking一the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas, \ The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.2 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical（机械的）exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 3What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 4 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 5 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A.Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B.This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C.It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D.It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E.If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer isquite a lot.F.The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinkerin a number of ways.G.As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see howthey can be used in other forms of communication as well.2010辽宁卷BAGCDI was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier （收令艮台）in her general store. _1 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely andsaying n thank you”.At first I was paid in candy.2_ I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. —3By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics （化，女品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as H What color do you think I should wear?"

What do you hear?1 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That'sbecause this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called n elevator （电梯）music11 because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.2If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don r t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why?3Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background.4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.5 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time.

The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 72_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live andwhere they live.In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 73 .Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _74 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 75_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.A. That kept cities very small.B.

But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.71---75 EDBAFEvaluating Sources (来源) of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 71Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 72Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour ―contributes to‖ or is ―associated with‖ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense.

University,I began to spend time on the streets of Philadelphia,getting to know the men and women for whom these streets were their only home.The more I developed relationships with them and the more I got to know them,the harder it became to head home at night while they remained outside.In this journey,I have had many great teachers—including Georgianna Simmons,who lost nine of her toes to frostbite(冻伤),and Joe Williams,with a college degree,who runs a rescue center for homeless men.I’ve been doing this work for more than thirty years.People who have nothing have taught me so much about life.The lesson they have taught me is that people who are homeless need the same chances we all need:housing,education,employment,and healthcare.Contrary to our society,which values those it believes productive and rich and often ignores those who struggle with homelessness,I believe that everyman,woman,and child has gifts.Everyone matters!Therefore,I work for a society in which each person is given the chances and resources to achieve their fullest potential(潜力).I also believe that our greatest power is released when people come together across social boundaries(边界) to form a community.It is through “the power of us ” that we come to know the deepest truth of our humanity.This is what I truly believe,“None of us are truly home until all of us are home.”4.Which of the following is true about the author after he knew more about the homeless?A.He wanted to make friends with them.B.He admired the life they were living.C.He decided to live on the streets.D.He felt great pity for

stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look.In theireyes,Jin Opera was something from the past.They are not alone.It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera,which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun,together with his colleagues,goes to campuses to promote the art.Wu Lingyun is best known for his role as Guan Gong,a general during the late Han Dynasty period.Wu began playing the role in 1985,at the age of 21,and has been associated withit ever since.Wu was significantly influenced by his parents,both of whom are also famous Jin Opera performers.With a natural talent for performing and great effort,Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000,the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.Given Wu’s considerable fame,one might think he woul d now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure.However,this is far from the case.Deep down,Wu has a big dream.He pictures a growing future for Jin Opera.Wu expects more chances for more people to get to know about the art,hoping Jin Opera could become a worldwide art.Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.“Jin Opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it,”he says.“Art without life can never survive.”8.How did the students react to the performance at the hall?A.They became bored.B.They got disappointed.C.They felt curious.D.They looked casual.9.What do we know about Wu Lingyun?A.He got a

Lingyun?A.Humorous.B.Kind-minded.C.Cautious.D.Devoted.D(2024安徽宣城二模)If you ask something of ChatGPT,an artificial-intelligence(AI) tool,you may immediately get the responses,completely certain and often wrong.The questions raised by technologies like ChatGPT cause much more tentative(不确定的) answers.But they are ones that managers ought to start asking.One issue is how to deal with employees’ concerns about job security.Worries are natural.An AI that makes it easier to process your expenses is one thing;an AI that people would prefer to sit next to at a dinner party quite another.Being clear about how workers would redirect(重新运用) time and energy that is freed up by an AI helps foster acceptance.So does creating a sense of agency:research conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found that an ability to override an AI makes employees more likely to use it.Arthur Jago of the University of Washington and Glenn Carroll of the Stanford Graduate School of Business investigate how willing people are to give rather than earn credit—specifically for work that someone did not do on their own.They showed volunteers something attributed to a specific person— an artwork,say,or a business plan — and then revealed that it had been created either with the help of an algorithm(算法) or with the help of human assistants.Everyone gave less credit to producers when they were told they had been helped,but this effect was more pronounced for work that involved human assistants.The picture that emerges from such research is messy.It is also dynamic:just as technologies evolve,so will attitudes.But it is crystal-clear on one thing.The impact of ChatGPT and other AIs will depend not just on what they can do,but also on how they make people feel.12.What should managers take into consideration when using technologies like ChatGPT?A.Skills used for them.B.Issues caused by them.C.Accuracy ensured in them.D.Alternatives discovered for them.13.Wh at can we learn about employees’ attitude towards AI from paragraph 2?A.They find it can make their work more complicated.B.They think it is a threat for AI to replace them at work.C.They consider it’s normal for AI to finish all their work.D.They feel it’s vital for them to acknowledge its abilities.14.What did the volunteers think of a task accomplished with AI algorithm?A.They thought little of it.B.They were unaware of it.C.They spoke highly of it.D.They felt envious about it.15.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The limitation of AI.B.The importance of ChatGPTC.The relationship between AI and humans.D.The practical application of ChatGPT.Ⅱ.七选五(2024广东广州一模)Home gardens produce delicious food.But that’s not their main virtue.Imagine a plate holding two strawberries,identical in appearance.One came out of a supermarket box,probably harvested unripe. 1 The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages.They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February.But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven’s MoonlightSonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape. 2Other people,however,think gardening is a waste of time.But the same could be said of cooking.There are cheap and decent restaurants around,so why bother to make your own meals? 3 They mistake the product for the purpose.Actually,a garden,especially in the early years,can produce little but frustration(挫败感).New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil.Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetables,then leaving the rest to go bad. 4 No matter.The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it.The deepest pleasure — as with cooking,writing,bringing up children or almost anythingworthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener’s memo ries revolve not around the food produced,but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.5A.No one can ever avoid this hard stage.B.So why don’t we start home gardening for delicious food?C.This might explain why many people desire a home garden.D.These people misunderstand the ultimate appeal of gardening.E.By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the plant for days.F.To garden is to patiently and lovingly help life grow,in the ground and above it.G.And even expert gardeners can lose a season’s harvest to
