A(2021·重庆南开中学高三其他模拟)My name’s Lily. I’ m 35 and hardly have any friends. My family traveled a lot, meaning I lost most of my friends from childhood. Now I have only a handful of close friends, most of whom live in other countries. I feel lonely. I see lots of my acquaintances, who regularly go out with friends or other moms, and I think, “Why haven’ t they invited me?” What’s wrong with me?Lily When we are young, friendships may leave little scars. As a result, you might be unwilling to dive into a close friendship as an adult. Compatibility(相容), especially in adulthood, is a complex thing.I find that in friendship, sharing the same values and worldviews is important. But what would you need to know in order to make friends? Writing that down is worthwhile, because it can help you work out which invitations to say yes to, and which to refuse.A well-placed conversation where you share that “you would love to be invited somewhere”, or “you are having a hard time making friends” could open up opportunities. If there is a habit that somehow troubles you, perhaps you could ask a couple of people around you (your husband? family?) to give you feedback. It could be that you are someone who has fewer friends than some, but that the one or two you do have will be long-lasting.There is nothing wrong with you. And there are friends out there for you. The more you know what matters most to you, the more you’ ll be a friend others are looking for—as much as you are looking for one like them.Alanis 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023全国新高考Ⅱ卷)Turning soil，pulling weeds，and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.And at first it is，says Abby Jaramillo，who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts，a school garden program at four low-income schools.The program aims to help students develop science skills，environmental awareness，and healthy lifestyles.Jaramillo’s students live in neighbourhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores.“The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks，”she says.“They come to us thinking vegetables are awful，dirt is awful，insects are awful.”Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt，most are eager to try something new.Urban Sprouts’ classes，at two middle schools and two high schools，include hands-on experiments such as soil testing，flower-and-seed dissection，tastings of fresh or dried produce，and work in the garden.Several times a year，students cook the vegetables they grow，and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently，”Jaramillo says.She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition.Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.Besides，working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students，many of whom have emotional control issues.“They get outside，”she says，“and they feel successful.”1.What do we know about Abby Jaramillo？A.She used to be a health worker.B.She grew up in a low-income family.C.She owns a fast food restaurant.D.She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.2.What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program？A.The kids’ parents distrusted her.B.Students had little time for her classes.C.Some kids disliked garden work.D.There was no space for school gardens.3.Which of the following best describes the impact of the program？A.Far-reaching.B.Predictable.C.Short-lived.D.Unidentifiable.4.What can be a suitable title for the text？A.Rescuing School GardensB.Experiencing Country LifeC.Growing Vegetable LoversD.Changing Local Landscape【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

AStudy after study shows that regular moderate walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.In a study, Japanese researchers tested obese men before and after they joined a oneyear modest walking plan. All they did was up the number of steps they took during their daily activities, such as walking from the car to the grocery store. The result: Their blood pressure and cholesterol levels improved and the amount of body fat around their abdomen(腹部)—the dangerous kind of fat that leads to higher rates of heart disease—greatly decreased.That's good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States. Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain. According to surveys, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise, such as swimming, drop_out during the first few months.Here are some ways to put more walking into your life.1．Learn the basics. Before you take your next step outdoors, you need to know how much walking to do, and how often.2．Pick a charity—it could be breast cancer, the American Red Cross, the UnitedWay—and pledge to contribute $1 for every mile you walk. You'll take pride in the fact that you are walking for something beyond yourself.3．Walk with a friend. If she's expecting you, you're more likely to get out of bed on cold winter mornings or skip the cafeteria for a lunchtime walk.4．Walk for entertainment one day a week. Instead of walking around your neighborhood, walk through the zoo, an art museum, or a shopping mall.26．Which of the following is NOT the character of walking?A．Convenient. B．Difficult. C．Gentle. D．Simple.27．The underlined phrase “drop out” probably means ________．A．quit B．take part in C．go in for D．fall behind28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Many women choose walking for exercise because it is cheap.B．You should walk as much as possible for health.C．Walking with a friend can make you forget hunger.D．Walking for a charity can make you continue to walk.29．How many women stop walking after they start the walking program?A．1/5. B．2/5. C．1/2. D．4/5.30．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Walking can make you healthy.B．Walking can make you wealthy.C．The ways to continue walking in daily life.D．You can make friends through walking.BNew York visit would be the most favorite experience of your life. If the greatest day in your life is just_around_the_corner and you still can not decide where to go for your honeymoon，then you needn't think anymore. New York is just the place for you and your partner to spend some of the greatest days of your life. Whether it is the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty，you can do a lot to keep yourself suitably yet interestingly engaged during your honeymoon in New York.When on your honeymoon the best way to while away your time is by shopping. The city of New York is a famous shopping destination and any time of the day you can walk into mega stores like Macys, Dillard's and Bloomingdales. Going to the famous museums or even to the Broadway can be a good idea if both of you take a keen interest in new things.If a romantic getaway is what you prefer then take your partner to the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden that can be the perfect romantic place to get away from the crowd. A quiet dinner can also be the best idea for you and your partner to take time off only for yourselves. New York City has some of the best restaurants in the world serving great food and in some cases great music，too，comes along with it. There are some restaurants like Chumley's，Manhattan Diner and Doyers Vietnamese Restaurant that are not well known but offer great platters.Most importantly when you go to New York make sure to put at one of the best hotels there.

It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after giving off unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th century, the sun is now heading towards a “grand minimum” in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.Solar output goes through 11year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots (黑子) seen at their peak.We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call “Cycle 24”—which is why last week's solar storm resulted in sightings of the Aurora Borealis (北极光) further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than halfthose seen during cycle peaks in the 20th century.Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona—obtained from magnetic field measurements 120，000 miles beneath the sun's surface—suggests that “Cycle 25”， whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.According to a paper issued last week by the Met Office, there is a 92 percent chance that both “Cycle 25” and those taking place in the following decades will be as weak as, or weaker than, the “Dalton minimum” of 1790 to 1830.In this period, named after the meteorologist (气象学者) Joh Dalton, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2℃.However, it is also possible that the new solar energy decline could be as deep as the “Maunder minimum” (named after astronomer Edward Maunder), between 1645 and 1715 in the coldest par t of the “Little Ice Age” when, as well as the Thames frost fairs, the canals of Holland froze solid.36．The new temperature data was produced from ________．A．the Met OfficeB．readings from measuring stationsC．the analysis by experts at NASA and the University of ArizonaD．the records about “Dalton minimum” and “Maun der minimum”37．In the future, the energy the sun gives off will ________．A．go back to normal B．drop seriouslyC．continue to rise D．keep steady38．What may result from the change of solar output?a．Summer becomes even hotter. b．Winter becomes even colder.c．People lack food to eat. d．Average temperature decreases.A．a, b, c B．a, b, d C．b, c, d D．a, c, d39．Which year might have the highest average temperature according to the passage?A．The year 1698.

D．The year 2022.40．The author writes the passage to ________．A．appeal to people to study meteorologyB．introduce a study on global temperatureC．call for further confirmation of the studyD．tell people to produce more carbon dioxideDBringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so，Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important longterm effect on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated (支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.Ms Harris's attack on the devel opmentalists' “nature” argument looks likely to reinforce(加强) doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter，why is it that two adopted children，brought up in the same home，are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes？Or that a pairof identical twins，brought up in the same home，are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?Difficult as it is to track the precise effects of parental upbringing，it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer (同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill，rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tense or relaxed，or from learning to be honest or hardworking or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little influence on those qualities，it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.Moreover，mum and dad surely cannot be ditched completely. Young adults may，as Ms Harris argues，be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years，parents have the power to open doors：they may initially choose the peers with whom their young associate，and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover，most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age，and that people's child bearing habits may be formed partly by what their parents did. So the balance of influences is probably complicated，as most parents already suspected without being able to demonstrate it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection，discipline and good example，parents are not completely off the hook.41．According to Ms Harris, ________．A．parents are to blame for any bad behavior of their childrenB．children's personality is shaped mostly by their friends and neighbors C．nature rather than upbringing has a significant effect on children's personality developmentD．parents will greatly affect the children's life in the long run42．The word “ditched”(Line 1，Paragraph 4)could best be replaced by________．A．proved B．emphasized C．compared D．ignored43．The developmental psychologists think________．A．children are more influenced by their peersB．identical twins raised in the same home are different in personalityC．twins raised in two separate families are different in personalityD．upbringing has a less significant effect on children's personality development 44．According to Paragraph 3，we know that________．A．it is easier for children to gain a language at homeB．it is harder to follow the effects of parental upbringingC．immigrant children avoid speaking the same way as their parents at school D．it is proved that peers have a greater effect on children's qualities45．What does the aut hor mean by saying “parents are not completely off the hook” at the end of the passage?A．Parents should control the situation.B．Parents should give their way to children.C．Parents should spend more time on children.D．Parents should take on their responsibility.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
