People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians.②_______So parchment (羊皮纸)，made from goatskin，later took its place.In ancient China, books looked a little different. At that time, people there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees，paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.③________Papermaking later spread to t he West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.④______They carved (雕刻）a page of word's into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn't until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make.

We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you commit.What is a major?36 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my major?The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 37When do I declare a major?This varies widely across schools and programs. 38 Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.39Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind, every major has necessarycoursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majors?If one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration, 40 A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A. Can I change my mind?B. Is my major time-consuming?C. It’s your specialized area of study in college.D. Most students find one major is more than enough.E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.G. The only difference is that it doesn’t r equire as many classes.36～40 CFEAO评分标准：36~40小题，每小题2分。

It's such a common event that you probably never asked yourself why you sleep. 36 .In fact, for sleep researchers it's one of the biggest unanswered questions in the field.Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep?37 .But we sleep every night even when we have had plenty of rest. There are, no doubt, several different answers to this question but let's just consider one general purpose of sleep: 38 . Human beings are creatures that are normally active during daylight hours when our senses functions most effectively. 39 .We can't see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we don't have the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay where we are during the dangerous period when night-waking animals are walking here and there. And one sure way to make sure we don't fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us not move for seven or eight hours rising again only when the light is back and our survival chances are better.第 1 页共 2 页It's not the only reason we sleep. 40 . Perhaps even the most important one.A. At night, humans do rather poorly.B. But from a scientific point of view this is far from an ordinary matter.C. Should that put human beings in a terrible situation?D. Sleep as a survival approach.E. Furthermore, if you were designing an animal would you have it come into long periods of unconsciousness every twenty-four hours?F. But in terms of evolution it may have been one of the first reasons.G. Is it because we get tired?参考答案36. B 37. G 38. D 39. A 40. F第 2 页共 2 页。

A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it … to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 ___ Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.●37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? ＂That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.＂●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.

2020年高考英语阅读理解+七选五专题练习(阅读理解+七选五押题预测，建议下载练习)Ⅰ.阅读理解AFeeling down？Why not visit one of these four websites?This site was created in 1999 and gets about seven million visitors per month.Two of its videos have been chosen as winners for the Webby Awards：Pixar Intro Parody and Web Site Story.Other funny videos to look out for include a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of going to college.This site has lots of really funny videos.And as the name suggests，users vote on videos，choosing the options “funny” or “die”．If the video receives too many “die” votes，it’s sent to the site’s “crypt”．But if it gets enough “funny” votes，it goes into the Hall of Fame.The site was created in 2006 by comedians Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.The site’s first video，The Landlord，has had over 70 million views.Videos to watch out for include Just a Tip：Taxi，with some valuable advice on how to catch a taxi，and Over Analyzing Texts，with some tips on how to respond to text messages.Founded in 2005， is a social news and entertainment website.Registered users put funny content in the form of the video link or texts on the website.Other users then vote these things “up” or “down”．The most recent and well-liked content appears at the top on the front page of the site.First appearing as a satirical newspaper in 1988， has hundred of videos and articles on news and current affairs，a nd receives an average of 7.5 million visitors a month.It’s famous for its amusing items，such as Michelle Obama Seen Outside Walking FamilyRhinoceros or Dad Can’t Believe Lawn.1．If you want to watch videos ever winning the Webby Awards，you can visit .
