D．A history story.CAlpha, Beta, Delta... these Greek letters used to only appear in our math classes but are now in use in news headlines.Now, it’s Lambda. As the Delta variant (变体) spreads throughout communities in Asia, Europe and the United States, another variant, Lambda, is spreading rapidly throughout South America, Forbes reported on Aug 10.On May 31, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a naming system for variants of COVID-19 that uses letters of the Greek alphabet (字母表). Before that, the public had to call a variant its scientific name or refer to it based on where it was identified.For example, a variant of COVID-19 identified in South Africa in late 2020 was called variant 501Y.V2 or B．1.351. Media also called the same virus “the South African variant”. Now, everyone calls it “Beta”.Compared to complicated scientific names, the Greek letters are much easier to remember. “It is a lot easier for a radio newsreader to say ‘Delta’than bee-one-six-one-seven-two,”Jeffrey Barrett, a UK statistical geneticist told Nature.WHO hopes this change will help stop the stigma (污名) associated with geography-based names. “I can understand why people just call it ‘the SouthAfrican variant’— they don’t mean anything by it,” Salim Abdool Karim, an epidemiologist in South Africa, told Nature. “The problem is, if we allow it to continue, some ill-intentioned people may take advantage of it.”“No country should be stigmatized for detecting and reporting variants,”Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s COVID-19 technical lead, wrote on Twitter.As the virus is still evolving, 11 variants have been named so far. What if the 24 Greek letters are not enough? “We will possibly run out of the Greek alphabet, but we’re already looking at the next series of names,”Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph. “We’re actually considering star constellations(星座).”Currently, the Virus Evolution Working Group and WHO’s legal team are double checking proposals to “make sure we don’t upset anyone with these names”, Van Kerkhove told The Telegraph.11．What do Lambda and Delta have in common?A．They are both chosen by Greek scientists.B．They are both confusing to understand.C．They are both Greek names of varieties of COVID-19.D．They are both the places where COVID-19 was found.12．What does Salim Abdool Karim probably agree with?A．The virus should be named after the place where it is found and spread. B．No country should detect or study COVID-19 without WHO’s permission. C．People felt uncomfortable when they call COVID-19 “the South African variant”.D．Some people with bad intention may judge other countries reporting COVID-19. 13．Why are scientists looking for the next series of names?A．Because the naming system in use is not convenient.B．Because the variants may outnumber the Greek letters.C．Because people are more curious about star constellations.D．Because it is illegal to rename the variants with letters.14．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce new ways of renaming COVID-19 varieties.B．To describe how scientists identified the varieties of COVID-19.C．To explain why some people prefer geography-based names.D．To arouse people’s awareness of more COVID-19 varieties.15．In which part of a magazine could you find this passage?A．Science. B．Travel.C．Sports. D．First Aid.DWelcome to your future life.You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to 150, so, at 40, you aren't old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老）treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age. You say to your shirt, “Turn red.”It changes from blue to red. In 2035,“smart clothes” contain particles(粒子） much smaller than the cells(细胞）in your body. Theycan be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk from the fridge, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the smart chip(芯片）that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035,every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves. Such＂smart technology" is all around you.So will all these things come true?"For new technology to come early,"says scientist Andrew Zolli,“much has to be done so that new things will replace what we have today."The Internet is an example-what will be the next?16．What is the theme of the text?A．The Internet. B．The future life.C．The anti-aging technology. D．The ways of transportation.17．What does the underlined word"They" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Clothes. B．Cells. C．Colors. D．Particles.18．Which of the following is TRUE about the "smart car"?A．It can change its color. B．It can tell you where to go.C．You can, just tell it where to go. D．You can call your friend to drive it for you.19．What does the last paragraph tell us?A．Nothing is impossible.B．Every coin has two·sides.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．Never count the chicken before they are hatched(孵化）。

The world sees 700 million cases of mid-ear infections every year. Fan hopes that this can be an effective and low-cost treatment option for the thousands who are affected.Fan was inspired to create the headphones three years ago while learning about Niels Finsen, who won the Nobel Prize in 1903 after inventing light therapy to treat bacterial （细菌的) infections. “I thought, 'This is an amazing idea, and I can apply it to something else in my daily life," Fan said.Fan took home the top prize, earning the title of "America's Top Young Scientist" and $25,000. She is planning to use some of the prize money to start the patent process for the headphones.

（英语）高中英语阅读理解解题技巧讲解及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Since English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”. Science has a lways thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Homer's theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UK's University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food... the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University's paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “It's only one of many ideas for the origin of land-based tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.（1）Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?A. Alfred Romer.B. Charles Darwin.C. Hannah Byrne.D. Steven Balbus.（2）Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A. There were larger oceans.B. Earth was closer to the moon.C. The moon gave off more energy.D. Earth was under greater pressure.（3）The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 probably means “________”.A. foundB. settledC. abandonedD. trapped（4）What is the focus of the article?A. The arguments over a scientific theory.B. The proposal of a new scientific theory.C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文，一些新的证据验证了先前人们的猜测理论：即海洋中的动物是因为潮汐的作用导致鱼类发展出四肢，迁徙到陆地的。

The First Day at My New SchoolAccording to a recent survey carried out by The Economist(经济学家) magazine, Ireland is by far and away the best country in the world to live in.Once Ireland joined the EU in 1973, the base for economic growth started to be put into place. The 1990s saw the economic growth finally arrive-a total change in Ireland's economic fortunes was born. The country experienced year-on-year growth of almost ten per cent and now has the fourth-highest GDP per head in the world—a massive 36.5 thousand dollars per person. Coupled with this has been a huge drop in unemployment(失业率) from 20 percent15 years ago to around four per cent today, all of which has meant Dublin's newspapers now come with larger job sections and the country is looking to import up to 300 thousand new workers in the next few years.In many ways, Ireland is the perfect advertisement(广告)for the policies of the IMF and the World Bank as it is one of the few economies that has opened itself up to free trade, foreign investment(投资) and unregulated business activity, cut welfare(福利) spending and checked wage(工资) increases and yet still managed to grow rapidly.9、When did Ireland join the EU?A.In 1990.B. In 1973.C.In 1991.D.In 1974.10、What can we learn from the text?A.Business activity is regulated in Ireland.B.Dublin's newspapers now come with smaller job sections.C.Ireland is the bad advertisement for the policies of the IMF.D.Ireland will import up to 300 thousand new workers in the future.11、What does the underlined word "it" refer to?A.Free trade.B.The advertisement.C.The World Bank.D. Ireland.12、What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?A.Technology.B. Education.C.Economy.D. Nature.二、填空题13、How to Make Learning FunLifelong learning is important.

Instead, the notes were 2 invitations to a dinner party or a walk the next day."Why do these postcards 3 you to come to tea?" I asked my grandmother. "Because this is how we communicated before we had a 4 ," she said. "I would post a postcard in the morning mail, and a friend would 5 it that afternoon. 6 she would post a reply that arrived in my mail the next morning."I was surprised. Life without a phone sounded like something out of the world. Connecting by postcards seemed as 7 as using a carrier pigeon(信鸽). I had forgotten about my grandmother's postcards until lockdowns(封锁) prevented our trips to seeing our three granddaughters. Remembering my grandmother's album, I bought several sets of 8 andevery few weeks, I'd write notes and mail them. The girls sometimes responded with brief thank-you texts.Then one day I opened my mailbox and spotted three hand-addressed envelopes. They were from my granddaughters, each 9 me for the postcards.

Because20、A. free B. friendly C. unexpected D. young21、A. cards B. letters C. notes D. toys22、A. copying B. thanking C. laughing D. helping23、A. boxes B. smiles C. paintings D. messages四、短文填空24、 It's really nice to see a lot of Tibetan antelopes(藏羚羊)on the green grass.

When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make.I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats.

山西省2022年普通高中学业水平考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Advice on Writing from Famous Writers◆Hilary Mantel—a little pride can be a great helpThe most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence, if you can manage it. You write to impress yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.◆Leo Tolstoy—pick the hours that work best for youTolstoy believed in starting first thing: "I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Rousseau, too, after he got up in morning, went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning one's head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk."◆William Faulkner—read to writeRead, read, read everything—rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter(木匠)who works as a beginner and studies under the master. Read! You'll take it in. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.◆Katherine Mansfield—writing anything is better than nothingLooking back, I imagine I was always writing. Even it was rubbish. But it's far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.1、What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel?A. A sense of pride.B. Rich knowledge.C. Courage to begin.D. Opportunities.2、What did Leo Tolstoy and Rousseau have in common?A. They went for a short walk after rising.B. They chose to write in the morning.C. They started to work while in bed.D. They got up at the best time.3、What did Katherine Mansfield value in writing?A. Reading good works.B. Keeping on reading.C. Practising writing.D. Gaining others' respect.When David Carter started his art major at the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But he dropped out of university at 23 after he hurt his hand badly in an incident. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia(精神分裂症) and spent several years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT-Austin, because he dreamed of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.UT-Austin student Ryan Chandler said he met Carter during an assignment(任务) on homelessness for The Daily Texan. “I interviewed him about homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT-Austin, so I decided to help him.” said Chandler.With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned and adviser by UN-Austin’s College of Fine Arts. “It’s the greatest blessing I’ve ever received,” Carter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn’t have done it without him.” after seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT-Austin alumnus(校友) decided to pay his tuition fees without telling his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the college of Fine Arts, said in a statement that the school would be looking to help Carter in any way it could. “David Carter’s determination to complete his degree is a testament to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4、Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He couldn’t afford his study.B. He had a hand injury.C. He got a strange disease.D. He hurt an artist.5、What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do an assignment on homelessness.B. To learn why he hung around UT-Austin.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6、Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Strong-mindedD. Warm-hearted7、What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He calls on other students to help Carter.C. He supports students who never give up.D. He suggests other students learn form Carter.Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothingto do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching(偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable(有利可图的).However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested(抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?8、What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?A. The growing human population.B. Humans’ hope for making a fortune.C. Humans’ too much need for wild food.D. Not having enough laws on wildlife protection.9、What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?A. Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.B. Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.C. Those who killed elephants all got caught.D. Hunting was completely not allowed.10、Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To show the effort to protect seal babies.B. To show an increasing number of seal babies.C.

Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—will help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behaviour or strategies they can follow.The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories are the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein's success. In addition, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems."This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his successcommonly linked to extraordinary talent," Hu said. "Edison, on the other hand, i s known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts." Hu added, "Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently."12、What kind of scientist is more encouraging?A.Those who are famous around the world.B.Those who are famous for their hard work.C.Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.D.Those who are viewed as great inventors.13、What is the concern in the science community?A.Fewer students will work on science.B.The students will drop out of school soon.C.There are fewer role models for students to follow.D.Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.14、Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.B.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.C.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.15、What is the best title for the text?A.Einstein's Success StoryB.Edison's Achievements Are GreaterC.How to Be a Great ScientistD.Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than Edison二、七选五16、 Given the high price of housing, many of us are living in smaller space than we’d like.

高中英语阅读理解解题技巧解说及练习题( 含答案 ) 及分析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus ( 章鱼 ) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called "Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea". The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth's oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world's oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it isunder the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues,by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution."These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity ( 生物多样性 ) on land and in the sea," says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.（1） What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian's National Zoo?A.
