高中英语素养阅读限时练习（高二上7）（附答案详细解析）（建议用时：35分钟）I 阅读理解Over the next 50 years, it will become hard to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. Computers will be able to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way as the human brain does. They will then produce false people exactly like originals. We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Maybe a few decades later, a way will be found to pass our spirit (including our memories and thoughts) to the new body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want.By 2070, once one of you is copied, you will just have to press control "D" and you will have two of you. If you want 500, select 500. Naturally, when duplicates are running around all over the place, there will be a food problem. Corrections will have to be made with how you eat. Your duplicates will have to combine vitamins with something we have in abundance. The most practical choice would be junk. Your corrected duplicate will be designed to eat junk like a goat. But don't worry, your taste changes and sense of smell will be adapted, so you will really enjoy it. You will want to eat lots of junk. When it becomes possible to do a spirit move, they will figure out how to do them automatically. So you will be able to live within whichever duplicate you want, whenever you want and as long as you want.1.

The second paragraph is mainly about ________ .A. a food problemB. a spirit moveC. duplicated peopleD. future humansII 完形填空The history of chocolate begins with a plant Theobroma cacao, “food of the Array gods.” For centuries, people have been enjoying the rich flavor of chocolate, a1 made from this plant.People today 2 chocolate as something sweet to eat or drink that can be easily 3 in stores around the world.

However, the long time dancing and the noise pollution causing by the loudspeaker really brought about many unbearable inconveniences. We can’t rest or sleepgood. As result, the students are not only late for their school but also sleepy in class, and theworkers are easy tired while working. Here are some suggestion to solve the problem. We are supposed either to shorten the dancing time and reduce the music noise or to make another choice of dancing places. Only by this way can they have fun and let others enjoy life.【I阅读理解词汇积累、长难句、答案与解析】【词汇积累Accumulation】1. replaceable/ rɪˈpleɪsəbl /adj. 可代替的2.original/əˈrɪdʒənl / n. 原件; 原文; 原型；adj. 原始的; 最初的3.abundance /əˈbʌndəns / n. 丰富，充裕，大量【长难句】]So you will be able to live within whichever duplicate you want, whenever you want and as long as you want. 所以无论你想要哪一个复制的人，无论你何时想要以及只要你想要，你都将能够以其身份生活。

Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”；10. Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?A．Mild. B．Destructive. C．Uncontrollable. D．Impressive.；11. What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1?A．The death number. B．The heat wave.C．The wind speed. D．The citywide blackout.；12. What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable?A．The entire island is covered with sand. B．It is one of the low-lying communities.C．The residents there can't wait to leave. D．Over half of its buildings were in ruins.；13. What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov. John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana?A．Ambitious B．Undoubted. C．Indifferent. D．Unconfident.CPangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a u nique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especiallyAfri can communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.14. What is the purpose of the documentary?A．To study the situation of pangolins.B．To collect fund to protect pangolins.C．To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D．To propose setting up pangolin reserves.15. What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2?A．Picky. B．Messy.C．Showy. D．Heavy.16. What’s the documentary mainly about?A．The illegal trade of pangolins.B．The medical function of pangolin's scales.C．The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D．The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.17. Where is the text most likely from?A．A brochure. B．A diary.C．A novel. D．A magazine.三、七选五阅读Ways to Boost Your Emotional Health by Improving Your Confidence Taking care of your emotional health is as important as taking care of your physical body. 18 When you feel good about yourself, it's much easier to cope with life's little ups and downs as well as bigger events.

高中英语限时练7阅读理解A“In real life, the daily struggles between parents and children are around these narrow problems of an extra hour, extra TV show, and so on” said Avi Sadeh, psychology professor at . “Too little sleep and more accidents,” he said.Sadeh and his colleagues found an extra hour of sleep can m ake a big difference. The children who slept longer, although t hey woke up more frequently during the night, scored higher o n tests, Sadeh reported in the March/April issue of journal Chil d Development.“When the children slept longer, their sleep quality was some what weak, but in spite of this their performance for study imp roved because the extra sleep was more significant than the r eduction in sleep quality. ” Sadeh said. “Some studies sugges ted that lack of sleep as a child affects development into adult hood and it’s more likely to develop their attention disorder wh en they grow older. ”In earlier studies, Sadeh’s team found that fourth graders slep t an average of 8. 2 hours and sixth graders slept an averageof 7. 7 hours.“Previous research has shown children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night on a regular basis, s aid Carl Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disord ers Research in Bethesda, and high-school-age children need somewhat less, he said, adding the results of insufficient sleep could be serious.“A tired child is an accident waiting to happen,” Hunt said. “An d as kids get older, toys get bigger and the risks higher. ”Hunt also said too little sleep could result in learning and memory problems and long-term effects on school performance. “This is an important extension of what we already know, ” Hu nt said of Sadeh’s research, adding sleep is as important as n utrition(营养) and exercise to good health.“To put it into reality,” Hunt said, “parents should make sure th ey know when their children actually are going to sleep and th eir rooms are conducive to sleeping instead of playing. ”1. What is Child Development?A A new storyB A popular bookC. A periodical mag azine D A TV programme2. How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?A OneB TwoC ThreeD Four3.

The children who sleep longer are weak in their study.C. Lack of sleep as a child has great effect on their developm ent into adulthood.D. In general, children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night. CBABBFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beati ng heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely t o feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are co ntracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with th e point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain res ponds to the fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brington and said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is diffe rent depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fe ar as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel s aid, “The study showed fearful faces are better noticed when t he heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts c an also affect what we see and what we don’t see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also use d a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart chang es a person’s feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and the brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fe ar is death with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stre ss disorder.”5. What is the finding of the study?A. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.B. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one’s health.D.

The childr en who slept longer, although they woke up more frequently during the night, scored higher o n tests, Sadeh reported in the March/April issue of journal Child Development.“When the children slept longer, their sleep quality was somewhat weak, but in spite of this th eir performance for study improved because the extra sleep was more significant than the re duction in sleep quality. ” Sadeh said. “Some studies suggested that lack of sleep as a child affects development into adulthood and it’s more likely to develop their attention disorder wh en they grow older. ”In earlier studies, Sadeh’s team found that fourth graders slept an average of 8. 2 hours and sixth graders slept an average of 7. 7 hours.“Previous research has shown children in elementary school need at least nine hours of slee p a night on a regular basis, said Carl Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorder s Research in Bethesda, and high-school-age children need somewhat less, he said, adding the results of insufficient sleep could be s erious.“A tired child is an accident waiting to happen,” Hunt said. “And as kids get older, toys get big ger and the risks higher. ”Hunt also said too little sleep could result in learning and memory p roblems and long-term effects on school performance.“This is an important extension of what we already know, ” Hunt said of Sadeh’s research, ad ding sleep is as important as nutrition(营养) and exercise to good health.“To put it into reality,” Hunt said, “parents should make sure they know when their children ac tually are going to sleep and their rooms are conducive to sleeping instead of playing. ”1.

限时训练7、人生百味类1.Abby and Brittany Hensel are perhaps the most famous conjoined (连体) twins in the world. They were born in Minnesota on March 7, 1990. Doctors suggested separation surgery for the girls, but the Hensels considered it too dangerous. Although the girls weren’t given long to live by some medical experts, they wouldn’t allow their condition to stop them from doing everyday things.Eventually, the pair learned how to exist with one body. They are capable of moving all body parts. Each one controls one arm and one leg. They’ve learned to swim, run, ride a bicycle and even drive side by side. Brittany explained, "We both had to take the driving test—and after numerous practice, our efforts paid off. We made it. "When they drive, each sister controls their own half of their shared body. They prove to be good drivers.Besides their tastes in clothing and what they like to do in their free time, the twins also have other differences. For example, Brittany is afraid of heights and Abby is not. Brittany claims to be the person who likes to be out and explore the world. Her sister, on the other hand, is more of a homebody.After graduating from high school, the twins studied at Bethel University, graduating with degrees in teaching. Then they found employment. The school’s principal. Paul Good, said he employed the sisters because they were capable of connecting with children. The moment someone gets in the twin’s class, all his worries will go away."I don’t think that there’s anything that the twins wouldn’t try or couldn’t do if they wanted." Mr. Good says. "To teach kids—especially those with learning disabilities—it’s very special. And that can only be done by someone who makes himself an example and leads others. They push people to go after their dreams no matter what difficulties are placed before them. "24. What prediction did medical experts make about the twins?A. They would die young.B. They would enjoy their life.C. They would recover from the operation.D. They would need lifelong care from parents.25. What conclusion can be drawn when it comes to the twins’ difference?A.

They want to fly, or to become a dinosaur, or to learn how to shoot webs out of their fingers like Spiderman.Luka Tavcar, 12, has muscular dystrophy(萎缩) and is totally dependent on his wheelchair. Nevertheless, late last year, he had an inspired plan: to be photographed walking around and having fun.He approached Matej Peljhan, an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation(康复) center near Ljubljana, Slovenia, where Luka is a patient.At first, Peljhan was perplexed. How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion? “Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun, but it seemed impossible,” he says.Then Peljhan had a brainstorm: Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and, with the help of an assistant, Peljhan would pose the boy as if he were jumping, climbing stairs, moving downhill on a skateboard, and playing basketball. Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above. The photos took about a month to produce; all were shot early this year.Peljhan, who lost his right arm and left eye as a child, says his disabilities motivated him to make the photographs. “I understand people with limitations,” he says.He named the series the little Prince after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust, hope and friendship. Luka loves the photos.Peljhan himself understands what it is like to live with limitations- he lost his right arm and left eye as a child. “He wants to stay positive,” the photographer explains. “Luka’s imagination helps him forget his physical limitation”, says Peljhan. “He’s fragile, but he can see the world differently. ”1.
