2023届四川省石室中学高三高考适应性模拟检测英语试题(一)学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解We are all aware of the effect greenhouse gas emissions (排放) is having on our planet and the efforts needed to protect the earth. Most of us are doing our bit to reduce our influence or the environment, but despite our collective effort, are we doing enough to achieve net zero by 2050?Net zero means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many countries are doing their bit by changing how they produce and use power to cut down carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) output. And they announced what further steps they were going to take at the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow (格拉斯哥气候峰会).In the UK, the government has been setting out its plans to achieve net zero by 2050. It’s recently announced an end date for the sale of gas boilers, which are used for heating homes. The idea is to replace them with heat pumps. It’s offering homeowners up to £5, 000 to replace them. Another plan in the UK is a big push towards electric cars. More charging points are to be added in streets, and no new petrol cars will be sold by 2030.But not all emissions can be reduced to zero, so there should be other ways to make up for it. One way to do this is to plant thousands of trees, which are good at taking in carbon dioxide. The UK government has promised to plant 30, 000 hectares of trees a year by 2025. Other ideas can work too, but what’s certain is this will cost money. The CBI’s (英国工业联合会) Tom Thackray told the BBC, “those costs have to be weighed up against the cost of doing nothing.”Whether the UK, or anyone else, reaches net zero is yet to be seen. And there’s some doubt about how this can be accurately measured anyway. But it’s generally recognised that a global effort is needed to protect the environment. Therefore, net zero targets only make sense if every other country is moving in the same direction.1.It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.people are doing enough to reduce the amount of green gasB.gas boilers must be replaced by the end of 2030 in the UKC.Tom Thackray believed the UK government is wasting moneyD.it might be difficult to judge whether the UK reaches net zero2.What’s the writer’s attitude towards net zero targets?A.Negative.B.Subjective.C.Objective.D.Supportive. 3.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Achieving Net Zero Target Together B.Protecting the Environment C.Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions D.Planting More Trees TogetherIf you are a fan of medical films, then you will know there are emergency helicopter services that will take badly injured patients to hospitals long distances away. You probably also know that in these films most ambulances (救护车) are on wheels and go across city streets where there are fewer traffic jams than in real life.But now, Israel’s Urban Aeronautics, announced that it made an agreement to work with Hatzolah Air to produce and develop its CityHawk aircraft as an emergency medical service. The CityHawk is small and can fly anywhere and land anywhere, making it able to work in cities above the traffic jam. It has no wings outside and can work even in bad weather conditions.“We are excited to work with Hatzolah Air on the development of our CityHawk vehicle,” said Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Urban Aeronautics. “Its small size will enable it to land in the middle of a busy city street, making it a perfect fit for medical tasks by greatly reducing the time it takes to arrive on-scene, treat and transport sick or injured patients to medical facilities.”“One of Hatzolah’s most important goals is to be somewhere within minutes. Unlike helicopters, we can land anywhere within minutes,” Yoeli said. “We will be able to improve the care of patients. They want to be equipped with the best aircraft.” Hatzolah Air’s president Eli Rowe said that he foresees (预测) the possible need for 800 CityHawks since it is asix-passenger vehicle that can carry a pilot, a patient and a team of professionals.Urban Aeronautics is working on certification (认证) for emergency use of its CityHawk aircraft. The development of the flying ambulance is expected to take up to five years but a model will be ready sooner. A flying ambulance may be coming to a city near you soon. 4.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To give an example of medical rescue.B.To lead to the topic of the flying ambulance.C.To show the future market for aircraft medical service.D.To tell the advantages of emergency medical helicopters.5.What do we know about the CityHawk?A.It makes medical tasks in cities more convenient.B.It will take the place of ambulances on city roads.C.It is difficult to operate in bad weather conditions.D.It can carry enough medical supplies immediately.6.What’s Rafi Yoeli’s attitude towards the development of the CityHawk?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Positive.D.Surprised. 7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The CityHawk has got certification from the government.B.The CityHawk faces great difficulties to become a reality.C.The CityHawk draws great attention of hospitals.D.The CityHawk will come into use in the near future.The city of Marquette in Michigan is closing a section of a road to vehicular traffic every night to protect migrating salamanders (蝾螈). From 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. daily until April 15 or until the migration is completed, a section of Peter White Drive in Presque Isle Park will be closed, the city announced.“Protecting the blue-spotted salamanders’ migration is vital, as they are an indicator species, informing us about the health of our environment,” said Kathleen Henry, Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP) special projects coordinator (协调员) and education specialist. The salamanders spend the cold winter under-ground. Then every spring, they make their way to the water where they lay eggs.It was in 2018 that Eli Bieri, a former Northern Michigan University student, noticed vehicles were killing hundreds of these migrating salamanders. “We would see thousands and thousands of salamanders crossing the street in just one night,” Bieri told the Detroit Free Press. “It was really amazing — until we see cars pass by and squish salamanders. That really troubled me — it kept me awake at night.” He enlisted the help of the SWP, who reached out to Marquette city officials. Last spring they got the relevant stretch of road within the park temporary closed to evening and overnight vehicular traffic.In 2019, before the closure, they found 429 salamander carcasses (尸体) in the road. Last year, they counted only 3 carcasses. With that success demonstrated, city officials aredoing the same this year. “The goal is to apply our science to wildlife management,” Bieri said. “To be able to see in-person the science applied to successful management practices was very satisfying.”8.What’s the significance of protecting the salamanders?A.Salamanders can offer great financial benefits to the governments.B.Protecting salamanders can greatly reduce traffic accidents at night. C.Salamanders are a great sign for our environment’s conditions.D.Salamanders are main food for other living creatures near the sea.9.What does the underlined word “squish” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Avoid.B.Kill.C.Feed.D.Ignore. 10.Which word can be used to describe the effect of protecting measure? A.Successful.B.Concerning.C.Insufficient.D.Ridiculous. 11.What is a suitable title for the text?A.What Salamanders Mean to UsB.A Proper Way to Protect Our EarthC.Ways to Protect SalamandersD.A 12-Hour Closure for WildlifeA study by a team of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) psychologists has found a link between extraverts (外向的人) and their word choices. The finding highlights the need for stronger linguistic indicators to be developed for use in online personality prediction tools, which are being rapidly adopted by companies to improve digital marketing strategies.Today, marketing companies use predictive algorithms (算法) to help them forecast what consumers want based on their online behaviors. For example, an extravert consumer might be attracted to marketing messages that match their personality, and retail brands could then choose to target such consumers by using more extraverted and creative language to advertise their products. However, personality prediction tools available today that are used by marketing firms are not entirely accurate due to a lack of theoretically sound designs. This may lead to a weakness affecting the performance of the machine learning algorithms. This begs the question—how should we create robust and accurate personality predictions?The study found a correlation between extraverts and their tendency to use certaincategories of words. The results showed a small strength of relationship between extraversion and the use of “positive emotion words” and “social process words.”Positive emotion words are defined as words that describe a pleasant emotional state, such as “love”, ”happy”, or “blessed”, or that indicate positivity or optimism, such as “beautiful” or “nice”. Social process words include words containing personal pronouns except “I”, and words showing social intentions, such as “meet”, “share” and “talk”.Moving forward, the NTU research team will investigate the relationship between extraversion and other word categories. They hope their work will provide clarity on the types of words that can help guide the development of more accurate machine learning tools for personality prediction.12.We learn from the passage the findings of the study can be used to help ______. A.observe consumers’ behaviorB.forecast the need of companiesC.create practical personality predictionsD.find correlation between extraverts and ads13.What does the underlined word “robust” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Renewable.B.Forceful.C.Doubtful.D.Variable. 14.Which of the following words may belong to extraverts’ commonly used vocabulary? A.Dispute.B.Interaction.C.Disaster.D.Loneliness. 15.What does the last paragraph focus on?A.The direction of future research.B.The theoretical basis of the study.C.The strength of business strategies.D.The development of machine learning tools.二、七选五There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet.____16____However, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, but it is so much sugar. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. And in America, people who receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day (Journalof the American Medical Association, 2021). This is true regardless of how healthy the rest of their diet might be. Put it more simply, while people continue to argue over whether or not fatty food is dangerous, we already know that sugar is a killer.____17____The average American gets 1/3 of his or her sugar through sweet drinks alone. The American Heart Association recommends that we limit ourselves to less than100-150 calories a day from sugar, which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar. ____18____You have to stop having sweet drinks altogether.Beyond this, you can keep healthy by consuming different categories of fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables, which are full of vitamins and fibre, rather than processed foods. ____19____They have higher quantities of sugar, salt, and fat than fresh ingredients (原料). Besides this, it is also important to have some meat, beans, or dairy products in your diet, as they provide the necessary protein for strong bones and muscle growth. As with everything in life, moderation (适度) is key. The ideal diet is a balanced one,without too much or too little of any one thing.Finally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time when you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry. ____20____It will also allow you to enjoy your food more. A.Processed foods often contain less nutrition.B.Don’t let food become the centre of your life.C.Eating a large amount of food each time is not necessary.D.Much of this extra sugar comes from sweets and sweet drinks.E.Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better.F.In other words, if you want to be healthy, you have to cut down on desserts.G.For example, scientists have insisted for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food.三、完形填空Years ago, my sixth grade teacher had us write letters to our heroes. ___21___ others wrote to Nelson Mandela or Hillary Clinton, I wrote to Jennifer Cihi, a popular singer. We didn’t actually ___22___ the letters, so mine was ___23___ in my drawer.In that ___24___ letter, I promised to devote my first ___25___ to Jennifer. Years later, I did become a writer, and did keep my ___26___. Jennifer was the prototype (原型) of the character of my first novel. But she was just a passing thought that faded ___27___ about five years later. Then, at age thirty-one, a social media meeting allowed me to ___28___ her. Later I sent my first Facebook message, ___29___ to tell her about the “story” between us.I didn’t want to seem like a crazy fan. So I ___30___ said, “I want you to know that you ___31___ me to live the amazing life that I’ve led. I have written several books, been an actress, and now I am a ___32___. Thank you.” Without receiving an ___33___ reply, I soon forgot the matter. But two days later, my phone made a “ding” which ___34___ I got a new Facebook message.It was from Jennifer. We ___35___ a few pleasantries(客套话)on Facebook. When I told her I was teaching at a unique school for kids with mental illness, Jennifer suddenly asked if we could talk ___36___ the phone.During the conversation, we realized we ___37___ a passion for helping children with mental disorder.

2024届四川省成都市石室中学高三上学期一诊模拟考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解It’s an exciting moment when you decide that you are going to study in the US! Before you start packing your bags, here are several things that students need to have before applying to study in the US.Application fee and financial informationMany students are not aware that they have to pay an application fee to apply to schools, colleges and universities in the US. While this might not be a normal practice in other countries, this is standard in the US.Application fees can range in price depending on the school. Some schools charge as much as $90 while other schools charge as little as $25. Generally, schools will waive (免除) the application fee under certain financial circumstances. If you need financial assistance to submit your application, contact your prospective university’s admissions office.In addition to the application fee, students are required to show proof of financial qualification. Generally, most schools will require a copy of your bank statement but some schools may allow other documents to show financial qualification.PassportAs you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the US, you will need a passport to study in the US. Schools in the US require prospective students to submit their passport numbers on their applications. Without a passport, the school will not be able to issue the necessary forms for a student visa, if accepted. Most importantly, your passport must be valid (有效的) six months beyond the time your planned studies have been completed. Academic records and test scoresThere are many programs in the US and each has its requirements for admission. Some schools will require students to submit SAT or ACT scores before submitting their applications. As an international student, you will have to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score for consideration to an undergraduate program.In addition, schools will require your previous academic transcripts (reports). These transcripts should be from any previous learning institution, such as a high school. Obtainingacademic transcripts can be a time-consuming process, so make sure to plan ahead.Applying to study in the US can be an overwhelming process but if you remember these key elements needed to apply, you’ll experience an easy and simple application process. 1.What is a must for every international student to apply to study in the USA?A.To pay application fees.B.To prove their financial qualification.C.To submit SAT or ACT scores.D.To keep passports valid for 6 months. 2.What can we know from the passage?A.The application process is easy, simple but time-consuming.B.Paying application fees is not uncommon in other countries.C.The admissions office offers loans to poor international students.D.TOEFL or IELTS scores are vital for an undergraduate program.3.In which column does the text probably appear in the newspaper?A.American Campus.B.Solving Stress.C.Shared Future.D.Summer Fun.It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, 51, a technology executive at a hospital, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home on the 1.4-mile, two-lane Route 90 bridge, which spans the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by a high-pitched noise.Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was slipping from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it hit a BMW sedan and came to rest swinging over the rail of the bridge.Bauer stopped his car and ran to the BMW. “Are you OK?” he asked the driver. She nodded, too shocked to speak. And then the driver’s door of the pickup was thrown open and a man climbed out. He pointed down, saying something in Spanish. In the water was a car seat. Next to it, a girl, about two years old, was floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t. Maybe he was in shock. Bauer jumped into the shallow water quickly, swam to the drowning girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand. Come on… come on…And then a retching (干呕的) sound as ocean water came streaming from her mouth. But still no breath. Another hit on the back and another retch, followed by an intake of fresh air, and then the beautiful sense of little fingers grasping him around the neck. Her eyes were opened now, focused on him. A moment later a family on a rowboat pulled up and dragged Bauer and the little girl aboard. The girl suffered a broken shoulder but was otherwise uninjured.Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a volunteer firefighter so that she too could save lives. “That girl is going to live a whole life because of him,” she says. “It’s incredible.”4.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To uncover the Bauers’ feelings.B.To introduce the upcoming event.C.To describe a scene along the coast.D.To explain the disturbed calm to us. 5.What happened on the bridge?A.Slipping from one lane to the other, a black pickup suddenly stopped.B.Having crashed into the Bauers’ car, a BMW sedan slipped into the ocean.C.Due to the fine weather, the Bauers pulled up to enjoy the wonderful view.D.Out of control, a black pickup unfortunately crashed into a BMW sedan.6.What can we know about the drowning girl?A.Without Bauer’s help, she might have died.B.She was the black pickup driver’s daughter.C.She dropped off the car seat to the ground.D.Right after Bauer hit her back, she breathed.7.Which of the following can best describe Bauer?A.Innovative and perseverant.B.Friendly and cooperative.C.Courageous and decisive.D.Intelligent and patient.A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on carbon emissions, a large and important part of Antarctica is expected to disappear.The study focused on the melting of protective ice around Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea in western Antarctica. They said the “unavoidable” melting will take hundreds of years, resulting in a rise of nearly 1.8 meters in sea levels. This melting will have a profound impact on where and how people live in the future. The study, published in Nature Climate Change,warns that even if future warming was limited to just a few tenths of a degree more, it would have “limited power to prevent ocean warming that could lead to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.”The lead writer of the study, Kaitlin Naughten, explains that the research indicates that the Earth is on a path towards rapid ocean warming and ice shelf melting over the coming century. While past studies have talked about how serious the situation is, Naughten was the first to use computer modeling to study how warm water from below will melt the ice. The study looked at four different cases in how much carbon emissions the world produces. ln each case, ocean warming was just too much for this area of the ice to survive. It also looked at what would happen if future warming was limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius over mid-19th century levels: the international goal. They found the runaway melting process in this case as well.The study primarily focuses on the part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet that is most at risk of melting near the Amundsen Sea, including the Thwaites ice shelf, often referred to as the “Doomsday Glacier”. According to Eric Rignot, an ice scientist at the University of California Irvine, this area is already “doomed” (注定的) due to the rapid melting that has occurred. Naughten does not like to use the word “doomed”, because she said 100 years from now, the world might not just stop but drive back carbon levels in the air and climate change.

Normal is often used to mean “typical”, “expected”, or even “correct”. By that logic, most people should fit the description of normal. And yet, not one of almost 4,000 women who participated in the contest matched Norma, the supposedly “normal” woman.This puzzle isn’t unique to Norma and Norman, either — time and time again, so-called normal descriptions of our bodies, minds, and perceptions have turned out to match almost no one. So what does normal actually mean — and should we be relying on it so much?In statistics, a normal distribution describes a set of values that fall along a bell curve (曲线). The average, or mean, of all the values is at the very center, and most other values fall within the hump (驼峰) of the bell. Normal doesn’t describe a single data point, but a pattern of diversity. Many human traits, like height, follow a normal distribution. Some people are very tall or very short, but most people fall close to the overall average. Outside of statistics, normal often refers to an average like the single number pulled from the fattest part of the bell curve that excludes all the nuances of the normal distribution. Norma and Norman’s proportions (比例) came from such averages.Applied to individuals, whether someone is considered normal usually depends on how closely they get to this average. At best, such definitions of normal fail to capture variation. When limited or inaccurate definitions of normal are used to make decisions that impact people’s lives, they can do real harm. There were examples in history.To this day, people are often targeted and discriminated against on the basis ofdisabilities, mental health issues, and other features considered “not normal”. But the reality is that the differences in our bodies, minds, perceptions, and ideas about the world around us — in short, diversity — is the true normal.12.What can we learn about Norman and Norma?A.No participant fitted the description of them in the contest.B.They were on display as soon as they were completed in 1945.C.They were both named by the American Museum of Natural History.D.People viewed them as typical and correct representations of humans.13.How does normal in statistics differ from normal outside of statistics?A.The former and the latter fall at totally different points of the bell curve.B.The former and the latter account for different puzzles in our daily life.C.The latter is a single number whereas the former shows a pattern of diversity.D.The latter often indicates the distribution of a set of values but the former doesn’t. 14.What does the underlined word “nuances” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Possibilities.B.Examples.C.Meanings.D.Differences. 15.What is the best title of the passage?A.What Is Real Normal?B.When Are Humans Normal?C.How Does Normal Cause Harm?D.Why Shouldn’t We Rely on Normal?二、七选五ARE you happy? People often ask their friends this question; it shows they care. It’s a question that President Nicolas Sarkozy of France seems keen for social scientists to ask in his country. 16During the annual “two sessions”, Chinese lawmakers and political advisors are discussing how to build “a happy China”.17Many studies have shown that wealthier nations tend to be happier than poorer ones; and richer people appear to be more satisfied than the less rich. But a recent Canadian study shows that the happiest people live in that country’s poorest provinces (Nova Scotia), whilethose in the richest (British Columbia) are among the least happy. Happiness is not determined by wealth.Some scholars also believe that happiness is what people finally want and wealth is only a means towards this end. 18So what is it that makes people happy, if it isn’t money?In the US author Dan Buettner’s new book Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zone Way, there is a hint. 19 Rather, Buettner found that the four happiest cities on Earth, which span the globe from Denmark to Mexico, give priority to social networks, health and well-being.Take Singapore as an example. The city-state has one of the highest population densities in the world.20 However, in a recent survey, 95 percent of people said they were either very happy or quite happy. They gave their city high marks for cleanliness and safety — subways are clean and trains absolutely arrive on time, and police are helpful and good at their job.China has achieved a rapid GDP growth and become the world’s second largest economy. However, to build “a happy China”, we need to emphasize people’s livelihoods and quality of life over fast economic growth. We need to look for alternative measures that would show national progress not just by how our economy is growing, but by how our lives are improving; not just by our standard of living, but by our quality of life.A.Where are people happier?B.In China, it’s a concern, too.C.But what is the measure of happiness?D.True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.E.And its people are known for being workaholics.F.It has nothing to do with their material wealth, intelligence or attractiveness.G.If so, the priority now given to economic growth would appear to be a mistake.三、完形填空Sammie Vance, 14, knows there’s nothing worse than feeling left out.

I can’t figure out where I know him from.W: That’s the new kid, Greg, from Sweden. He sits behind you in physics. (1)Text 2W: My television stopped working yesterday. I tried to plug it in somewhere else, but the screen is still black.M: You have a very old television. It’s not worth repairing. (2)Text 3W: This new airport is going to make my life so much easier. I’ll no longer need to go to the crowded city airport.M: But I think the planes will keep me up at night. (3)Text 4W: I try to eat healthy for breakfast, but I just love foods with sugar. I eat sweet bread every other day and a few eggs in between.M: I eat a big breakfast of vegetables and chicken,(4) but I eat very little during the day.Text 5M: Morning roses, summer gardens...there are shelves full of products for women but nothing for men. We like to smell fresh as well.W: I think there is a shelf for men’s products over past the food section. If there isn’t, you can try the drugstore. (5)Text 6W: What are your plans for the holiday? Would you like to join me at my grandparents’ house?(6) There is a festival in the morning and then we have a big dinner.M: Unfortunately, I have to work. Thanks for the invitation, anyway.W: The store is open on Thanksgiving? (6) I thought it was a national holiday and most places had to close.M: Well, we prepare meals for people who don’t want to cook. There is a big list of orders.W: Will you be working all day? You could come afterwards. (7)M: No. I work from 4:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but I will be exhausted afterwards.(7)Text 7W: I’m so glad that I decided to switch classes. I was doing very poorly because I wasn’t interested. Spanish is so much better for me. (8)M: Really? I thought you liked the German class. I wish I could switch, but my mother won’t let me. She says I have to learn how to speak to my relatives in Italy. (9) (10)W: I forgot that you go to Italy every summer. Don’t you enjoy speaking to them?M: Yes, but the class covers really basic material. I just sit there bored in the class.W: I wish I had that problem. I struggled through the homework.M: It’s all about practice, but I find it hard to practice when I am not challenged. If I want to get better at speaking, I will need to do it outside of class by speaking to someone fluent. (10) Text 8 (第11题为推断题)W: I can’t believe how big that mountain is.M: That’s Matterhorn.

The worst part was walking through all the deep snow.(12) That took a lot of energy.W: How long did it take to get to the top? (13)M: I remember reading that the average trip takes about six hours to climb up, and about the same to climb down.(13) We took our time to be careful, though. I think we spent about 15 hours up there. I needed to stop many times for a break. I was an annoying customer for that guide.W: Would you go again? I bet we can find a friendly group going up there.M: No, thank you. I was in much better shape when we went last time.Text 9 (第14题为总结题)M: Good afternoon, this is Mike with Wash-N-Dry. How can I help you?W: Hello, I’m the manager at 909 Chestnut Street. The dryer in our apartment building isn’t working well. (15)M: I’m sorry about that. We’ll fix the problem right away. Before I send someone out there, though, I’d like to ask you a few questions.W: Go ahead.M: OK. How long has the dryer been acting up?(15)W: For two weeks now. (15)M: Can you describe what’s wrong with it?W: Yes. The clothes used to dry perfectly with $2.(16) Last week, we had to use $3 for the same amount of clothes. This week, we have to use $4.M: Oh, that’s bad! Do you know which dryer it is?W: Just a second… I’m almost at the laundry room. Let me see… I have to remember which one is broken… Yes, here it is. It’s the fourth dryer in the row. Here’s the number. J-4-8-9-L-W.M: Thank you. I’ll send Joe over this afternoon. He’ll take a spare dryer in his truck, in case he can’t fix yours. (17)I suspect that something is blocking the air flow. Anything else, ma’am?W: No, that’s it. Thank you.Text 10When I was a little boy, my grandfather told me that our family came to America from Spain. His favorite thing to talk about was a traditional event called “the human tower”. It’s a physicalchallenge that’s done during the annual festivals around Barcelona. The goal of the event is to build up layers of people to try and make a high tower. (20)The people who are on the bottom are often the largest, so that they can hold everyone else.(18) Participants stand on each other’s shoulders, so it’s important to think about who goes on each level. Men, women and kids all participate in building the tower, (18)so there are many different ways to build. The event involves everyone in the area, too. Anyone who is not involved in building the tower has an important job, though. The audience all crowd around the tower and hold up their hands to try and break the fall of any person who loses their balance. This stops anyone in the tower from getting hurt. Traditionally, the human tower has four people on each level.The world record for the largest human tower had 10 levels, (19) but the record is not why people do it. The point is to bring the community together. (20)阅读理解答案:21-23 CCA 24-27DBBA 28-31CACB 32-35CDAB阅读理解A21. C根据对五个餐厅所提供的食物进行数量上的比较可知. Abrakebabra 提供的种类最多。
