AFour teams of mountaineers set out on a race to conquer(征服) an unclimbed mountain peak in the Himalayas. The Canadian team chose a long, but safe route, while the British, Chinese and Russian teams chose a faster but steep and dangerous route up the mountain.When night fell, the teams made camp on the mountainside. But the next morning, the sun rapidly rose air temperature and the strong wind caused a heavy snowfall, which led to a terrible avalanche. The disaster struck and some members of the British, Chinese and Russian teams were swept away and killed. But the Canadians didn’t know what had happened.It was an hour after the disaster and there was no hope of finding any survivors. The leaders of the British, Chinese and Russian teams, met to discuss how to successfully keep all the survivors alive.The table above was a summary of what they could collect.

ABWhen the Bayside campus of Shekou International School (SIS) are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching activities at the school have been resumed online since Feb. 3rd, 2020.The school is using popular apps and software for online learning. Video conferencing and office automation are used to help teachers keep track of students’ conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world. Teaching online also offers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.Staying in Phuket, Thailand, science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a 10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin and the local turtle sanctuary as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade 7 students. “I want to connect our learning with the reality. The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles’ health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be released into the sea in mid-June,” says Laird.Rebecca Wallace is a Grade 4 teacher at the school, staying in her mother’s home in New York. From 8 p.m. to midnight every day, she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearly around the clock, Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes, family and even pets. Greg Smith, head of SIS, names the online teaching period a “new normal” at the school. “Students are now more skillful at using technology than before. They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and can use the tools to shrink distance and time.The “new normal” will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions,” he says. According to the school, 68% of its students are staying in Shenzhen while 27% of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.31. Riley Laird records videos on Marlin to ________ .A. connect learning with the realityB. rescue the endangered turtlesC. study the ecosystem of the turtlesD. show his pet to the class32. Rebecca Wallace teaches around the clock, because ________.A. she and her students live in different time zonesB. she needs to look after her mother in the daytimeC. she enjoys chatting with her studentsD. she has many lessons each day33. According to Greg Smith, online teaching ________.A. builds up a new relationship among studentsB. makes teachers step out of their comfort zonesC. results in the skillful use of technologyD. helps create new education system34. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To advertise an international school.B. To evaluate the online learning apps.C. To suggest effective learning methods.D. To introduce online teaching attempts.【答案】31. A 32. A 33. C 34. DCThe fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars, that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime, andso some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years. In March 2016, ten London pigeons became famous. These pigeons took to the sky, wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution. Once in the air, the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.Another promising approach can be found in Beijing. A seven-metre-high “Smog Free Tower”, designed by a Dutch scientist, Daan Roosegaarde, opened in Beijing’s 751 D Park in September 2016. It is a huge, outdoor air purifier. Airborne particles (颗粒) are sucked into the tower and caught by a dust-removal plate. Finally, clean air is blown out of the other end.“Changing smog particles does not take much power.” Roosegaarde said.As for what to do with the collected PM waste, he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste. Prince Charles owns a set of “smog free” cufflinks (袖扣). If collected on at a big scale, Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.Mexico City has an alternative solution. Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building, Allison Dring, a Berlin-based architect, managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen. “It means that you are actually taking carbon (碳) out of the sky, transforming it into a material, and then using it to build,” says Dring.The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas take off, at least Prince Charles’ cufflinks, the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.35. The underlined words “on the cards” in Para.1 probably mean ________.A. hardly to achieveB. widely questionedC. very likely to happenD. publicly welcomed36. The ten pigeons in London were used to ________.A. monitor air pollutionB. warn LondonersC. update weather forecastD. promote backpacks37. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower?A. It can catch light and wind.B. Its power consumption is high.C. PM waste from it can be reused.D. It is the first air purifier in the world.38. What’s the best title for the passage?A. When can humans get rid of smog?B. Why is technology used to fight smog?C. How are the world’s cities fighting smog?D. What makes smog a worldwide problem?【答案】35. C 36. A 37. C 38.

The second annual National Technology Scan conducted by Park found that the main reason why potential customers say they do not subscribe to the Internet is because of the low value to their daily lives rather than concerns over cost.Forty-four percent of these families say they are not interested in anything on the Internet, versus just 22 percent who say they cannot afford a computer or the cost of Internet service, the survey showed. The answer “I’m not sure how to use the Internet” came from 17 percent of participants who do not subscribe. The response “I do all my e-commerce shopping and YouTube-watching at work” was cited by 14 percent of Internet-access users. Three percent said the Internet doesn’t reach their homes.The study found U.S. broadband adoption grew to 52 percent over 2006, up from 42 percent in 2005. Roughly half of new subscribers converted（转变）from slower-speed, dial-up Internet access while the other half of families had no prior access.“The industry continues to chip（击破）away at the core of non-subscribers, but has a long way to go,” said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associates. “Entertainment applications will be the key. If a nything will pull in the holdouts, it’s going to be applications that make the Internet more similar to pay-TV,” he predicted.41. What does the underlined word “holdouts” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. some American familiesB. those who h old out one’s opinionsC. those who have been surveyedD. those who still haven’t access to the Internet currently42. Many potential customers refuse to subscribe to the Internet mainly because _________.A. they show too much concern about the costB. they can find little value of itC. they do most YouTube-watching at workD. the Internet doesn’t reach their homes43. From the passage we can infer that ________.A. It is not an easy job to transform those holdouts into the Internet usersB. people will adopt dial-up Internet access no moreC. many Americans enjoy doing e-commerce shopping at homeD. more than half of the population are using the Internet in 200544. According to John Barrett, what is the key to attracting more U.S. families to broadbandservice?A. making the Internet look more similar to TV setB. applying the Internet more to entertainmentC. providing more pay-TV programsD. chipping away at the core of non-subscribers45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Web develops with technologyB. The present situation of webC. Many Americans see little point to webD. It is urgent to promote web serviceC Against the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years.Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burne d are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.46. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______ A. result in a warming climate B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently C. lead to a longer fire season D. protect the forests and the environment there47. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun48. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming49. The underlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. distributed50. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberiamay __________.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy参考答案阅读理解41—45DBABC 46—50ACDBB 51—55ABBDC41.

Unit3 The Million Pound Bank Note一阅读理解AMark Twain, the famous American writer and a great master of humor, liked to play jokes on others. But once a joke was played on him. One day Mark Twain was invited to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man，one of his friends.The young man said that he had an uncle with him. He told Mark Twain that his uncle never laughed or smiled, and that nobody and nothing was able to make his uncle smile or laugh.“You bring your uncle to my talk this evening，” said Mark Twain. “I'm sure I can make him laugh.”That evening the young man and his uncle sat in the front. Mark Twain began to speak. He told several funny stories and made everyone in the room laugh. But the man never even smiled. Mark Twain told more funny stories, but the old man still kept quiet. Mark Twain continued to tell his funny stories. Finally he stopped. He was tired and quite disappointed.Some days later, Mark Twain told another friend what had happened. “Oh，” said his friend，“I know that man. He's been deaf for years.”1．The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.A．tell readers Mark Twain liked playing jokesB．tell readers a joke played on Mark TwainC．tell readers Mark Twain was a great writerD．tell readers how to tell a funny story2．One day Mark Twain met________at lunch.A．a friend B．his brotherC．his teacher D．a young girl3．Mark Twain stopped finally because he was________.A．disappointed B．sorryC．ill D．sleepy4．Mark Twain couldn't make the old man laugh because________.A．his jokes were not funnyB．the old man wasn't interested in the jokesC．the old man could tell more funny jokesD．the old man was deafBHobbs was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars，and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days；or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do: painting pictures.

Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. " He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his puter and returned with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can't believe it . . . it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?"

As part of their survey(调查),they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework?” The men answered verydifferently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of themsaid they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth!

The orbit of one particular et was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a et had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).Now Halley set to work. He figured out(解决，计算出)the orbits of some of the ets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The ets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different ets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the ore his thought that there had been three different ets as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same et three times. The et had gone away and had e back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain though to make a prediction(预言)of what would happen in the future. He decided that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley’s prediction could be tested. In 1758 the et appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that et had been called Halley’s et, in his honor.8 Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of ____.A. some different ets appearing several timesB. the same et appearing at different timesC. three different ets appearing at the same timeD. several ets appearing at the same time9.

AMoving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple' s diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.The report, by Newcastle University, s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration. ”41.According to the passage, moving in with a girlfriend, men.A.have few changes of their dietary habitsB.have to eat more unhealthy foodsC.don' t like foods high in fat and sugar at allD.try to eat foods that their girlfriends like42.The underlined word "light" (in Paragraph 4 ) probably means.A.not very heavyB.less in fat and sugarC.gentleD.not serious or important43.According to the report by Newcastle University? s Human Nutrition Research Centre,.A.women put on weight only because they want to suit their other halfB.when men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habitsC.eating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couplesD.it is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner44.From the passage, we can infer that.A.women should pay more attention to their partner, s influence on themB.more men will play roles of shopper and cook in most householdsC.couples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please theirpartnerD.long-term health of men benefits when they move in with a female partner45.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Don' t be silly any more, women!B.Which are better dietary habits?C.Boyfriends make you fatD.Dr. Ame1ia Lake and his studyBThere are many thoughts on the origins of civilization. One of the major factors involved was the increase in population. The development of techniques, primarily irrigation and flood control, which permitted agriculture in special areas such as the flood plain of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made possible the support of large population. Once populations reach a certain number, the older pattern of social organization breaks down and new ones develop. Specifically the older system, whereby each individual participated in food production and maintained a similar standard of 1 iving and whereby kinship （家属关系）served as the basic method of social organization, was replaced by the occupational division of labor, political and religious hierarchies （等级制度），public works such as road and public building construction, class systems, codes of law, markets, new forms of warfare, and urban centres. Allied with these important sociological traits are material traits, such as monumental architecture and the development of science and, in many cases, metallurgy（冶金学）and writing sustems.The earliest civilization, Sumer, developed in the Middle East. This was the Bronze Age of the Old World, during which people first developed the art of metallurgy, civilization also arose in other parts of the Old World, first in Eygpt, China, and India, and later in Europe and Africa. At this time, civilization also developed independently in the New World, in the Mexican area and in Peru and its adjacent （邻近的）areas.In the Old World the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, which saw the rise and fall of great empires and the shift of power from the Middle East to Greece and Rome and then to Western Europe. In the 1700s the Industrial Age began, leading directly to the modern civilization of today.46.The author of this passage.A.gives a comparison between ancient civilization and modern civilizationB.suggests that population increase is most important in the development of civilizationC.tries to explain how civilization developed in human historyD.explore the relation between agriculture and industry-47.According to the first paragraph, the increase in populationA.resulted in the development of agricultural technologyB.resulted from the breakdown of old social organizationC.caused the occupational division of laborD.was impossible without the development of agriculture48.The word "traits" in Paragraph One most likely meansA.main appearancesB. great achievementsC. distinguishing featuresD. outstanding successes49.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The Bronze Age is one of the earliest civilizations.B.The Industrial Age started in the Middle East.C.The Bronze Age developed into the Iron Age.D.The use of metal instruments started from the Bronze Age.50.Which of the following is NO T included in the expression “the Old World" used in thepassage?A.American continent.B. Both Western and Eastern Europe.C. African continent.D. Asian countries.cIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was "Save water. Shower with a friend. " Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they' re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time."It' s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card," said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students, suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they' ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. "In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough, " said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0. 2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.51.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.B.The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the batherpaused for soap.C.If money runs out, there will be no water.D.Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.52.The underline word "flaw” (Par agraphs) most probably means.A. perfectionB. advantageC. pityD. fault53.Since the new system has performed, of water can be saved.A. a quarterB. one thirdC. one halfD. two thirds54.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.the new operation can solve the water crisis.B.The new operation can raise students, environmental awareness.C. a similar operation has been set in other universities.D.The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.55.In which column can you find this passage?A.

Scientists have discovered that microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone(石灰岩) with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi(霉菌) and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces mineral limestone in the soil around its roots.The iroko tree makes a mineral by combining calcium from the earth with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon dioxide into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon dioxide in the trees' leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable foragriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the University of Edinburgh, the University of Lausanne, Universidad de Granada and Delft University of Technology.The project examined several microbiological methods for locking carbon dioxide as limestone, and the iroko-bacteria way showed the best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future & Emerging Technologies (FET) scheme.Dr Bryne Ngwenya of the University of Edinburgh's School of Geosciences, who led the research, said, “By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe and easily operating way to lock carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries.”1.The passage mainly introduces .A.some useful natural fungi and bacteriaB.a new way to deal with greenhouse gas emissionsC.a newly found tree in West AfricaD.the soil-enriching limestone created by scientists2.Which of the following is TRUE about tiny microbes?A.Most tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.B.Carbon dioxide can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.C.The more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.D.Tiny microbes get along well with the iroko tree in special soil.3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A.Carbon dioxide.B.Carbon.C.Soil.D.Limestone.4.According to the passage, what can we infer?A.The action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.B.Researchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.C.Researchers tend to use natural power to solve their problems.D.West Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.5.According to the passage, the iroko-bacteria method .A.can be used to improve the farming landB.can save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsC.has been popularized in Bolivia, Haiti and IndiaD.should be spread all around the world in the futureⅡ.七选五(2020山东实验中学高二检测)The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. 1It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn't the data look promising for the future?2And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. 3The increasing demand for new resources has created the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demand for environment-friendly equipment, both green product designers and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.4The Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter.

a group of mothers on low incomes in the US is beginning to discover the precise role of parental income in child development.It is the firstrandomized trial to look at whether a basic income might affect the way a child’s brain develops in this critical period.We know that the first few years of a child’s life are the most influential in their development.Brain development is particularly rapid in early childhood and therefore more likely to be influenced by the environment.Studies of children born into families on low incomes have found they tend to have more behavioral problems and are behind their peers when they start schoo l.However,it isn’t clear whether low income directly leads to these outcomes,or whether they are a result of other factors associated with growing up in poverty.To find out,Kimberly Noble at Columbia University in the City of New York and her colleagues approached women on low incomes who had just given birth at four sites in the US.The team measured several things throughout the study.At each yearlyfollow-up,children are assessed by measures like sleepquality,developmental milestones,overall health and emotional development.One unique aspect of the study is the use of mobile EEGheadsets to monitor the infants’ brain activity in their home environments.Almost $4 million has been given out through the study so far.Though it is too early to draw full conclusions,some preliminary(初步的) results are already of interest.For ee of the parents have allowed the researchers to keep track of their transactions(交易).Those in the high-cash group appear to be spending more on books for their children,and spending more time reading together,according to surveys the team conducted.This is potentially good news because reading to infants is known to be good for cognitive development,vocabulary and promoting important bonds between adults and children.Eventually the findings could help with policyinterventions(干涉) to assist children born into poverty,or even to find ways to buffer the effects of poverty later in life.8.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The early years of a child’s life are the most influential.B.Women should earn more to promote children’s development.C.Money affects brain development in one’s childhood.prehensive measures are to be taken to assist children.9.The unconditional cash given out brings positive consequences possibly because .A.the family can live a carefree life with the cashB.it helps to offer a better environment to the childrenC.the family can offer the children more nutritionD.it provides more time for the family to get together10.The underlined word “buffer” in the last paragraph may mean .A.preventB.causeC.reduceD.transform11.How were the conclusions of the study proved?A.By making questionnaires.B.By taking randomized trials.C.By giving participants interviews.D.By doing follow-up researches.D(河北保定一模)E space is an unexplained wonder.Scientists don’t know ees from.And now astronomers have spotted this light,called gamma(伽马) rays,at higher energies than ever before.You can’t see gamma rays with your eyes.They are much more energetic than the light that we can see.So you need a fancy detector to spot them.The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory(LHAASO) is an ea rays.Scientists have spotted 12 gamma-ray hot spots.These are parts of the sky from which the gamma rays are sent out.Those hot spots show that our galailky Way,has powerful particle accelerators(加速器).But those particle accelerators aren’t made byhumans.Instead,they come from violent events in the universe.They might be eple.Such violent events make electric and magnetic fields,which can speed up protons(质子) and electrons.Those fast particles can then produce gamma rays with a lot of energy.That canhappen when protons interact with other matter in space,for example.Scientists aren’t sure what could produce gamma rays with the extreme energies observed.But the new observations point to two possibilities.One hot spot was associated with the Crab Nebula.That’s the remains of an exploded s tar.Another possible source was the Cygnus Cocoon.That’s a region where massive stars are forming.The stars send out intense winds in the process.LHAASO is located on Haizi Mountain in China’s Sichuan Province.It is not yet fully operational.It’s due to b e completed later this year.Then,it could find even more gamma rays.12.What can we learn about gamma rays?A.They are invisible.B.They are often ignored.C.They contain little energy.D.They are used to ee eake the explanation lively.B.To help understand the Milky Way.C.To illustrate that the universe is ema rays might be produced.14.Which word can describe the astronomical observation mentioned in this text?A.Disappointing.B.Eed.15.What can be a suitable title for this tema Rays Come from Multiple SourcesB.The Universe Is Exploding with Great EnergyC.Light from Space Has Record-Breaking EnergyD.Gamma Rays Can Only Be Seen by AstronautsⅡ.七选五(福建福州质量抽测)There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society.The idea that all transactions(交易) can be completed digitally is becoming more realistic day by day. 1 As it is,people increasingly demand low-touch or contactless payments with growing concerns over the spread of viruses and diseases.A cashless society would give rise to a new era for financial deals.The key benefits would include lower crime rates,easier foreign transactions,andreduced risks and costs.The idea of a cashless society appears very common in our society. 2Economic inequality and inclusivity(包容性) are fundamental issues still present worldwide. 3 The unbanked and poor could face significant challenges with digital modes of payment.In fact,most of the unbanked view the cashless movement as an unfair act against those without bank accounts.For a cashless society,there needs to be an understanding and acceptance by governments and payment providers of the financial inclusion issues currently in existence. 4 There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with rapid digitalization and technological advancement.There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have barriers to accessing mobile phones and the Internet.5 It is also about to launch a national digital currency(货币),the world’s first.Nearly everything can be transact ed by digital means here.As we prepare for the consequence of the pandemic,and use the model set by China,other countries need to takeit upon themselves to provide a harmonious,effective,and cashless society —one that does not leave anyone behind.A.However,this is far from reality.B.Several countries have entered cashless society.C.A cashless society might actually worsen these problems.D.The pandemic has sped up the move away from physical cash.E.In China,four out of every five payments are now cashless.F.It isn’t just the unbanked who are at risk of being left behind.G.So financial inclusion needs to be the core value in a cashless society.必修3 Unit3 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
