If we look after them properly we learn what they like and dislike. We do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way. It is got without our realizing it.In keeping our dogs or cats we learn about various diseases that can affect them，and the cures for these diseases. We learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthy. In looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water. We get to know what kinds of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile（敌对的）to each other. We learn that animal，fish and birds have a lot of things in common with human beings.If children keep pets their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge. One little incident after another in which their pets are involved adds to their store of learning. It is a more interesting form of learning than that given in the biology lesson in school. People who keep pets should have a sense of responsibility towards them. Children，too，should be taught to be responsible. Pets are completely dependent on their owners and the owners should respond to this dependence by looking after them. Irresponsible behavior towards pets is a form of cruelty.In deciding to keep a pet we take on a task，we make ourselves responsible for providing proper food and shelter for the pet. In a crowded city like Hong Kong, where there is so little room for the exercise required by large pets，we should think twice before undertaking the responsibility of keeping one.( )1. In keeping pets，we learn that .A. pets dislike human beingsB. pets share what we haveC. human beings can gain knowledge by keeping petsD. pets and human beings gather a great deal of incidental knowledge( )2. For children .A. keeping pets adds to their troubleB. keeping pets widens their general knowledgeC. all kinds of knowledge are obtained by keeping petsD. incidental knowledge is more important than general knowledge( )3. In keeping pets，responsibility means .A. depending on themB. taking care of themC. writing to themD. teaching them参考答案：CBBB“You shall not steal. You shall not covet (垂涎) your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s..., nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” (EXODUS)What would you do if you were unemployed, homeless and found a large sum of money? Pauline Nichter, 46 and her husband, Tom, 44, had both lost their jobs and were living in and out of motels (汽车旅馆) with their 11-year-old son, Jason.They were in danger of losing their car for failure to make payments on it.One day last winter, Pauline found a wallet containing a credit card, an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2,394 in cash at a shopping center in the Los Angels suburb (郊区) of Buena Park.“For a second I thought about taking the money,” she said later. “But only for a second. It wasn’t our money and we didn’t want to set a bad example for our son” She delivered the wallet and its contents to the nearest police station, where the owner reclaimed them. Police admitted that they were surprised when the Nichers walked into the police station with the wallet and the money.Word of her honesty quickly got out, and grateful community responded in kind. The Nochers received more than ten job offers and an apartment rent-free for six months. An anonymous (匿名的) donator brought the car payments up the date. Others gave cash. One elderly couple walked into the police station where Pauline had turned in the wallet and asked how much money had been in it . When they were told the amount, the man said, “ Then that’s what they deserve and write out a check for $ 2,400.At a news conference the tearful Pauline said, “ Never in a million years would I havethought this would happen to us. What we have received is far more than what was in the wallet.”( )4. Pauline Nicher and her husband _____.A. were in dangerB. had no carC. were out of workD. live in Buena Park( )5. How did the people in the community react to this event?A. Someone gave them a free house.B. Someone offered them a new car.C. Someone gave them $2,400 in cashD. Some people offered them some job opportunities.( )6. The underline word “reclaim” most probably means______.A. to obtain something usefulB. to express one’s gratitudeC. to find something that was lostD. to take back something that was yours( )7. The underline expression “ …brought the car payments up the date” means that someone_______.A. paid the rest of what they should pay for their carB. renewed their car without charging them for moneyC. bought them a car that was up-to-dateD. paid all the money for their newly-bought car参考答案：CDDACBill Gates’ childhood friends recognized that he was exceptional. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof(傻瓜) or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team.. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.”B ill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him. Lakeside was Seattle’s best school and was noted for its rigorous(严厉的) academic demands, a place where “even dumb kids were smart”.Lakeside allowed students to pursuer their own interests, to whatever extent theywished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.In 1968, the school made a decision that would change thirteen-year-old Bill Gates’ life and that of many of others, too.At Lakeside the students gained access to a computer—a Program Data Processor (PDP)--- through a teletype machine. Type in a few instructions on the teletype machine and a few seconds later the PDP would type back its response. Bill Gates was immediately hooked and so was his best friend at the time, Ken Evans, and another student, Paul Allen, who was two years older than Bill.Whenever they had free time, and sometimes when they didn’t, they would dash over to the computer room to use the machine. At fourteen, Bill was already writing short programs for the computer to perform. Early games’ programs such asTic-Tac-Toe, or Noughts and Crosses, and Lunar Landing were written in what was to become Bill’s second language, BASIC.One of the reasons Bill was so good at programs is that it is mathematical and logical. During his time at Lakeside, Bill scored a perfect eight hundred on a mathematics test.( )8. Bill Gates chose Lakeside to go to NOT because ______.A. it had excellent education in SeattleB. it developed students’ potential as much as possibleC. it provided conditions and equipment necessary for studentsD. the environment of the school is very clean( )9. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. Lakeside was a milestone (里程碑) in the course of Bill Gates’ successB. Bill pursued his interest in mathematics at LakesideC. Bill began to do programming like some early games knownD. Bill’s success is due to his mathematical and logical mind( )10. The word “dumb” most probably refers to _____.A. cleverB. intelligentC. stupidD.absent-minded( )11. The passage is mainly discussing ______.A. Bill Gates’ boyhoodB. Lakeside SchoolC. Bill GatesD. Bill Gates and Lakeside参考答案：DACDDMany people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice. Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguin’s colors, its way of standing straight uprig ht and the way it walks.”These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy. The penguin’s colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguin’s white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. A nd from above, other animals cannot see the penguin’s black back against the dark ocean floor.The penguins’ colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby.Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the U niversity of Michigan tested young people’s reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The researchers showed the young people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.12. In the film “March of the Penguins”, ________.A. a baby penguin is stolenB. a penguin is sent out as a giftC. penguins are cute and attractiveD. penguins have a bad sense of balance13. It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .A. a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming oneB. a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from fallingC. a shop selling baby products are likely to make more moneyD. a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors14. Scientists have found that the penguins’ color can ________.A. change at different placesB. help them keep warmC. make people have pity on themD. protect them from being hunted15. The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that _________.A. cute messages mislead peopleB. cuteness influences people’s judgmen tC. humans react to anything that is cuteD. a simple message is more convincing than a cute message参考答案：CDDB第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）Nowadays, many people love to travel. It is very common for people to go on a trip at any time. 16 Perhaps, the reason for its present popularity is that modern people have come to realize the benefits of traveling.Traveling provides many good opportunities for fun, adventure and discovery. When we visit other countries, we gain a better understanding of the people living there. We learn their cultures, history and background.

If Mickey Mouse slips (滑倒)on a banana skin on TV, viewers laugh. But for ordinary people, falling is not 36 . For example, if you 37 off your bike, you have to take days to get well. For 38 people, the result of a fall could be worse.Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, USA, wanted to know why some people are 39 likely to fall than others.The researchers found that 40 means more than putting your feet on the ground and standing tall. Your brain 41 your sense of balance with information from your eyes and inner ears and the 42 from your feet and legs. If something goes wrong with any of these, you’re 43 to fall. People 44 to fall more often as they grow older because their senses are slower.State of mind is important too. The research shows that when people know they’re walking on a slippery surface, they 45 their pace and walk with flatter feet. As a result, they fall less often.“We actually 46 people slip and fall,” researcher Mark Redfern said. People of different ages fall on 47 in his lab. Cameras 48 their falls and a computer analyzes the information. Scientists then can 49 people who fall often how to be more watchful.“If they get 50 to a lifelike but controlled environment, people can 51 learn to handle the 52 thing,” Redfern said.Falls happen to everyone sometimes. 53 you see someone fall, think about why and offer a helping 54 .

高三英语精品阅读训练（25）ABe careful about those who use the truth to deceive. When s omeone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought twohundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information onpurpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates (竞选者) in political campaigns often use this tactic (策略). Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one millionjobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) runs an ad saying, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However an honest statement would have been, "During GovernorSmith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make f alse claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.1. Which statement is true according to the article?A. There is no 100-percent truth.B. A truth is as dishonest as a lie.C. Lies are lies, and truths are lies, too.D. The truth can be used in dishonestways.2. The underlined word deceive is close in meaning to _____________.A. pretendB. hideC. foolD. sell3. The best title for this passage should be _____________.A. A Special LieB. How to Discover a LieC. Half-truthsD. White LiesBThe teachers below are looking for a holilday to suit their students.

Post-it Notes - the pieces of paper that you can fasten almostanywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there - are anexample of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3MCorporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating (令人沮丧的) experience he often had while singing in his church choir（唱诗班）. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarkswere always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he putit, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合剂) that a colleague (同事), Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky,but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enoughto not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edgeof a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark..A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of hisnew "bookmarks" and attached (附着) it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some o ther people at 3M b elieved so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of paper" for trial use.When s ome salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.8. The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry .A. had a lot of knowledgeB. was very hard-workingC. was good at creative thinkingD. loved his job in the church9. In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?A. They worked together and often discussed science.B. His invention of a special adhesive made Art's invention possible.C. He persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post-it Notes for tial use.D. He cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.10. Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?A. A note on a friend's door.B.An e-mail to a friend.C. A postcard from abroad.D. An ad in a newspaper.11. The underlined phrase "took off" means .A. started to leave the groundB. disappeared from the marketC. had even more usesD. became popular very quicklyDRead these two advertisements, and then answer the questions.When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of three things.You can use no sun tan oil. You can use an ordinary sun tan oil. Or you can useBergasol.If you don’t use any sun tan oil at all when you’re in sun that is stronger thanyou’re used to, you will bur n surprisingly quickly.If you use an ordinary sun tan oil you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree. How m uch depends on the ‘protection-factor (系数) number’ on the bottle.Some of these oils block out so many of the sun’s rays you can sta y in the sun all day without burning—but you won’t go very brown, either.Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. But Bergasol oil also has a tan accelerator (加速剂) which comes from the oil of the Bergamot fruit.It speeds up the rate at which the sun acitvates the skin cells that produce melanin.And it is melanin which gives the skin its brown colour.So when you use Bergasol sun tan oil you go brown faster, and as the days pass thedifference will become more and more obvious.Un fortunately this special formulation isn’t cheap to prepare. So Bergasol israther more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil.However the price looks more attractive as you do.bergasolIt makes you go brown fasterProtectionMany people imagine that ‘cov er-up’ means you don’t get a tan. Nothing to showfor your holiday. What a shame.Not so. With ‘cover up’, you can get brown if you want to. The point of cover-up is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun—the ones which, according to the experts, make your skin look older.That’s what Solex Cover-up is all about—protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone.Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex is.With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like. Andwith much less chance of peeling.Your tan will look better. Your skin will stay young longer. Solex Cover-up.SolexGentle tan…full protection12. The underlined word "tan" is closest in meaning to ________________.A. brownB. protectionC. lightD. health13. Both Bergasol and Solex serve to ______________.A. treat various kinds of skin diseaseB. help people enjoy the sunC. help people get sun tan without being burntD. paint the skin with a brown color14. What's special about Bergasol?A. It is more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil.B. It has a tan accelerator that makes the skin go brown faster.C. It has a protection-factor of 8, which makes it suitable for anyone.D. It protects the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.15. Which of the following decides how well your skin may be protected?A. The price.B. Melanin.C. Cover-up.D. SPF number.E"It was all his own idea," says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto,California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a"motherhood contract"-a document (文件) stating that for 70 days this summer h e would take over the care and feeding of the couple's four children, plus all householdchores(杂务). Although he didn't even know how to make coffee when he signed, hewas quite confident. (He thought the experience would make a nice book.)After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. "I was beaten down, completelyhumbled," admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press (also partof the bargain), stating, "Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is itnever-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being."Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been thefootball and wrestling coach at Palo Alto's Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids.Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. "I had beenaround children so much," she sighs (叹气), "I couldn't talk to a grown-up." Shecontinued to run the household, however-until Bob signed the contract, whereuponshe decided to relax and enjoy it.Although Peters had consulted (咨询) with his school's home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria (食堂), his meals were sometimes a disaster. "I tried toslip the butter I'd forgotten under the eggs after they were frying," he says. Forthe last three weeks, the family ate out a lot-sometimes having Macdonald'shamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. "I found an easier way-I shut the doors," he says. Soonthe kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. "I made them wear their shirtsinside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side outso they would look clean."Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely (日常地) sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative (暂定的) title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day: _______16. The couple signed the contract because __________.A. Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfB. Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restC. they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksD. Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for abook17. It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to__________.A. pay a certain amount of moneyB. do all the housework for yearsC. say sorry to his wifeD. admit publicly he was wrong about motherhood18. What can we learn about Pat Peters?A. She was hard-working and selfless.B. She was pretty and kind-hearted.C. She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.D.

课时规范练35 Unit20(35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·全国Ⅱ卷)Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance.Thesecolourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries,strawberries are highest in vitamin C,although,because of their seeds,raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质),iron and zinc(not that fruits have much protein).Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质).The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries(樱桃),they are so delicious who cares?However,they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits,frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick,cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”.For this purpose,select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze.If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks,depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer,you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit.Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert,to be eaten right away.This makes a fun activity for a children’s party;they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1.What does the author seem to like about cherries?A.They contain protein.B.They are high in vitamin A.C.They have a pleasant taste.D.They are rich in antioxidants.2.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A.To make them smell better.B.To keep their colour.C.To speed up their ripening.D.To improve their nutrition.3.What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A.A dessert.B.A drink.C.A container.D.A machine.4.From which is the text probably taken?A.A biology textbook.B.A health magazine.C.A research paper.D.A travel brochure.B(2018·江苏无锡期中)A new app is trying to make it simpler to help you react to photos and videos that your friends post online—it’s using AI to capture(捕捉) your facial expressions and automatically translate them into a range of emoji faces.Polygram,which is free and available only for the iPhone for now,is a social app that lets you share things like photos,videos,and messages.Unlike on Facebook,though,where you have a small range of pre-set reactions to choose from beyond clicking a little thumbs-up icon,Polygram uses a neural(神经的)network that runs locally on the phone to figure out if you’resmiling,bored,embarrassed,surprised,and more.MarcinKmiec,one of Polygram’s founders,says the app’s AI works by capturing your face with the front-facing camera on the phone and analyzing the images as quickly as possible,rather than just looking at specific points on the face like your eyes and nose.“This is done directly on the phone,using the iPhone’s picture processing unit,”he says.When you look at a post in the app,you see a small yellow emoji on the bottom of the display,its expression changing along with your real one.There’s a slight delay—20 milliseconds,which is just hard to notice—between what you’re expressing on you r face and what shows up in the app.The app records your response(s) in a little log of emoji on the side of the screen,along with those of others who’ve already looked at the same post.The app is meant to appeal to those who really care about how they’re understood on social ers can see a record of the emoji reactions to each photo or video they post to the app,as well as details about who looked at the post,how long they looked at it,and where they’re located.Eventually,the founders say,they may release software tools that let other developers come up with their own applications for the technology.5.As a new social app,which characteristic of Polygram is TRUE?A.It is cheap and available only for the iPhone for now.B.It eventually transfers emoji faces to facial expressions automatically.C.Itspecialises in a neural network that runs originally on your phone.D.It needs to choose from many reactions that have been set previously.6.Those who will be obviously attracted by this new app.A.are new technology fansB.are addicted to new iPhonesC.have great passion for emojisD.are concerned about self-evaluation7.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To promote and sell a new software.B.To introduce to us a new and popular app.C.To reveal the significance of new technology.D.To inform us of the popularity of a new app.Ⅱ.七选五阅读(2017·全国Ⅲ卷)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
新高考高中阅读强化限时训练25阅读理解+七选五（含参考答案）限时：35分钟满分：50分阅读（共两节，满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5 分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The languages of the world’s main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.( ) 1. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than20( ) 2. In “the languages of the world’s main culture s are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.” the verb “replace” means “_______”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is( ) 3. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major world language, _______.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lesson s at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more参考答案：CBBBHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (飞蝗), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.( ) 4. Locusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by their enemies because _______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colours as cropsD. they fly very fast( ) 5. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes( ) 6. What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Can’t be seen.B. Can be seen.C. Can’t move.D. Can’t change.( ) 7. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because_______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies参考答案：CAACCCaptain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty. He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map. He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. James Cook was born in England in 1728. His parents were poor farm workers. When James was 18, he found a job on a coastal ship. He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old, and then he joined the navy. He fought in Canada in a war against France, and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada. In 1768 King George made him Captain of a ship and sent him to the Pacific. He was gone for nearly three years. When he returned, he was regarded as a national hero.He started his third voyage in 1776. On this trip he visited Hawaii. He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island. Then he mapped the western coastof North America. After that he returned to Hawaii. Unfortunately there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting. In the end Captain was killed in a clash with the local.( ) 8. In which order did James Cook do the following things?a. Fought against France.b. Made maps of some of the eastern coast of Canada.c. Mapped the coast lines of Australia and New Zealand.d. Mapped the coast of North America.e. Was made Captain of a ship.f. Work on a coastal ship.A. f a b e d cB. f a b d e cC. f a b e c dD. a b e c f d( ) 9. He started exploring when _______.A. he worked on a coastal shipB. he was 18 years oldC. he was sent to the PacificD. he served in the navy( ) 10. Which of the following is NOT true?A. He made the first maps of the Pacific Ocean.B. He went on three long important voyages in his life.C. He was the first English man to reach Hawaii.D. He was respected by his people.( ) 11. He was considered a national hero because of _______.A. his experience in CanadaB. his being the first European to visit HawaiiC. his heroic deathD. his devotion to exploration on the Pacific Ocean参考答案：CDADDWhen you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalizewhich results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.( ) 12. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.A. decoratingB. removingC. personalizingD. protecting( ) 13. Princeton University created bots to ______.A. explain why different websites are personalizedB. offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC. assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites( ) 14. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?A. Google and YahooB. eBay and GoogleC. Amazon and eBayD. Amazon and Yahoo( ) 15. What is this passage mainly about?A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.参考答案：BCAB第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16 We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.19 According to some psychologists, if parents are always tellinga child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or“20 ”A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.C. What people want to express is like this.D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.E. It needs exercise.F. You are such a smart child.G. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.参考答案：GEDBF。
高三英语限时阅读训练高三英语限时阅读训练ALondon-Lazy students can now give up onwork altogether as two O_ford University students have made scores of A-gradeessays (论文) on the website for students to copy.The essays are on the new website, 〝revise.it〞The website includes an 〝EssayLab〞 designedto make cheating (舞弊) as effective and effortless as possible.Its homepage announces to surfers (网上冲浪者): 〝The revise. it EssayLab is abank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics.〞〝Ne_t time you are asked to write an essay,why not see what we have on the subject-if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in.〞Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo, both 19 and firstfrom Manchester, spent much of their first year as students at the universitysetting up the website. There is no charge for downloading the essays.〝I have never been very good at essaywriting,〞 Rose admitted. 〝We don’t see essay bank as a cheating way. It’s asurprising valuable resource. You can learn a lot by reading other people’swork on the subject.〞Among other tips, the website suggestsinventing important speeches to give essays e_tra weight: 〝Popular people toquote (引用)are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli.〞Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s andDisraeli was a 19th century prime minister.Teachers are e_pressing their opinions bye-mail that they are angry about the website that 〝encourages students tocheat〞, but students disagree.According to Rose: 〝E_amsare a fight. It’s us against them.〞1. It canbe inferred from this passage that ______.A. students who visit the website〝revise. it〞 are all lazyB. students in O_ford Universityare all lazyC. websites in O_ford Universityare all set up by studentsD. websites can provide peoplewith different kinds of information2. NickRose and Jordan Mayo set up their website for the purpose of ______.A. helping students tocheat in e_ams B.helping students to improve their writingC. making money to pay fortheir schooling D. makingtheir teacher free3. WhatRose said at last suggests that in England ______.A .it isdifficult for students to pass their e_amsB. it isdifficult for teachers to finish their teachingC. students are not satisfied withthe education systemD. students are too lazy to learnanythingBFish have ears. Really. They’requite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through thebody. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, hasbeen e_amining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.As fish grow, so do theirotoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙). By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the e_act age of a young fish.As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they getyearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’sage, just like the growth rings of a tree.Ring counting is nothing new tofish scientists. But Thorold has turned to a new direction. They’ree_aminingthe chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring.The daily ring gives us the time,but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that thefish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determineshow much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.Thorrold can tell, for e_ample, ifa fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water ofcoastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at anygiven stage of history.In the case of the Atlanticcroaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the traveling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast,a journey of many hundreds of miles.This is important to managers inthe fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the youngfish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fishscientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.4. What can we learn about fish ears from the te_t?A. Theyare small soft rings. B.They are not seen from the outside.C. Theyare opening only on food fish. D.They are not used to receive sound.5. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?A. Treesgain a growth ring each day. B.trees also have otoliths.C. Theirgrowth rings are very small. D.They both have growth rings.6. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?A. Theelements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.B.Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.C. We canknow more about fish and their living environment.D.Scientists can know e_actly how old a fish is.7. How would you understand 〝fish scientists are now lending their ears〞?A. Theyare very interested in Thorrold’s research fingings.B. Theywant to know where they can find fish.C. Theylend their fish for chemical studies.D. Theywonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.CMy son andI were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn(谷仓)there were bats(蝙蝠)and they would notleave. The barn wastheir home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn andseemed determined to stay for the season. Don’t worry about it, Dad, ; Patrick said.

Americans do not havea corner on the 〝death〞 market, but many people feel that the United Statesleads the world with the worst ta_es.Ta_es consist of the money which people payto support their government. There are generally three levels of government inthe United States: federal (联邦), state, and city; therefore,there are three types of ta_es.Salaried people who earn more than a fewthousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federalgovernment. The percentage varies (变化不同) form person to person. It dependson their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income ta_, that is,the percentage of the ta_ (14 to 70 percent) increases as a person’s income increases. With the high cost of ta_es people are not very happy on April 15,when the federal ta_es are due.The second ta_ is for the state government:New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income ta_ similar to that of the federal government. Ofcourse, the percentage for the state ta_ is lower. Other states have a sales ta_, which is a percentage charged to any item(项目) which you buy in that state. Fore_ample, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty -five cents. If there is a sales ta_ of eight percent in that state, then thecost ofthe cigarettes is twenty -seven cents. This figure includes the sales ta_. Somestates use income ta_ in addition to sales ta_ to raise their revenues (收入) . The state ta_ laws are diverse(多样)and confusing (混淆).The third ta_ is for the city. This ta_ comesin two forms: property ta_ (people who own a home have to pay ta_es on it) ande_cise (国产) ta_, which is charged on cars in a city.The cities use these funds (资金) for education, police and fire departments, public works and municipal (市政内) buildings.Since Americans pay such high ta_es, theyoften feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their ta_es. People always complain about ta_es. They often protest that the government usestheir ta_ dollars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on uselessand impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues (问题) , they tend to agree on one subject: ta_esare too high.17. Howdo you understand the sentence 〝Americans do not have a corner on the ‘death’market〞?A. Itmeans that Americans, just like all other people, must die.B. Itmeans that Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life.C. Itmeans that Americans are not good at doing business in the death market.D.

2021年新高考高三英语考前阅读强化限时训练（两套，含答案解析）阅读强化训练(一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解Most of us now have more than one online social media platform that we often use. They all have a place for you to show your best face in the form of a profile(简介) photo. A satisfying photo can make any visitor to your social media pages feel good about you at first sight. But, according to a new study, we may not be the best judge of our own profile pictures.Researchers asked 100 university students to choose images that they would most likely use as profile pictures on social networks. They found that the participants picked the trait(特点) of attractiveness for a dating site and professionalism for a career site. They decided what to emphasize (强调) in this way. Next, the students were asked to perform the same task for a stranger in the group. At last, researchers showed these images to online viewers and asked them to rate how confident, trustworthy or able the person in them appeared.The online viewers tended to favor the photos that were chosen by strangers rather than those chosen by the people themselves. Researchers suggested that strangers are better at choosing true images that show a person’s current appearance. One idea is that people tend to think themselves more positively than others do. This may affect their ability to distinguish(区分) when trying to select a satisfying photo. Moreover, it appears that people overemphasize the trait of attractiveness compared with other traits, such as trustworthiness and kindness, which are characters that strangers often focus on.Still, there are a number of questions to be answered. Researchers have not yet begun to examine which photos can bring actual benefits in life or workplaces.
