2023北京高三二模英语汇编阅读理解C篇（2023 北京东城统考二模）Besides the theory of evolution, Charles Darwin was also responsible for the theory of emotion, the most important principle of which was that the mind consists of two competing forces, the rational(理性的)and the emotional. He believed emotions played a part in the lives of non-human animals, but in humans emotions were a very small remaining part whose usefulness had been largely replaced by the evolution of reason.This theory dominated his field for more than a century, but it was dead wrong. We now know that, on the contrary, emotions enhance our process of reasoning and aid our decision-making. In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influenced by our emotions.Consider a pioneering 2020 study in which researchers analyzed the work of 118 professional traders at four investment banks. Some were highly successful, but many were not. The researchers’ goal was to understand what differentiated the two groups. Their conclusion? The traders had different attitudes toward emotions.The relatively less successful traders for the most part denied that emotions had an effect on their decision-making. The most successful traders, in contrast, had a different attitude. They showed a great willingness to reflect on their emotion-driven behaviour. They recognised that emotion and good decision-making were linked. Accepting that emotions were necessary for high performance, they tended to reflect critically about the role of emotion. Though the successful traders accepted the positive and essential role emotions played, they understood that when emotions become too intense it is useful to know how to tone them down. The issue for them was not how to avoid emotion, but how to harness it.If emotions aid rational reasoning, how does that work? Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you aren’t. People aren’t usually aware of it, but the very framework of their thought process is highly influenced by what they’re feeling at the time. As the Caltech neuroscientist Ralph Adolphs puts it: “Each emotion is a functional state of the mind that puts your brain in a particular mode of operation that adjusts your goals, directs your attention, and modifies(调整) the weights you assign to various factors as you do mental calculations.The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution: humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. Want to fare better? V alue and regulate your emotion.1. Based on the study, successful traders would__________.A. reveal their hidden emotionsB. owe their success to emotionsC. review decisions depending on emotionsD. examine their actions influenced by emotions2. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Control and use.B. Analyse and release.C. Face and adapt to.D. Understand and accept.3. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following is the best example of Ralph Adolphs’ words?A. Confidence may expose one to more chances.B. Depression will consume one’s energy.C. Anger may lead one to risk-seeking.D. Optimism will affect one’s health.4. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The contributing factors to emotions.B. The workable strategies of emotions.C. The working principle of emotions.D. The constructive role of emotions.（2023 北京西城统考二模）Laughing together is an important way for peopleto connect and bond. And though the causes of laughter can vary widely acrossindividuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between peoplebelonging to different cultures.But what about animals? Do they “laugh”? And are the causes of animal and humanlaughter alike? In humans, people may laugh when they hear a joke, or when they seesomething that they think is funny, though it's unknown if animals' intelligence includes what humans would call a sense of humor.However, many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider such vocalizations to be similar to human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play vocalization to see how common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed”while playing-most were mammals（哺乳动物），but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. Reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in that animal group. This new study could help scientists to analyze the origins of human laughter.But how can we identify play? Unlike fighting, play is usually repetitive and happens independently of other social behaviors, said lead study author Sasha Winkler, a doctor of biological anthropology at the University of California. When it comes to identifying it, “you know it when you see it,” Winkler told Live Science. One sign is that primates-our closest relatives-have a “play face” that is similar to the expressions of humans who are playing.When Winkler previously worked with rhesus macaques, she had noticed that the monkeys panted（喘气）quietly while playing. Many other primates are also known to vocalize during play, she said, so a hypothesis (laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play) supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species was put forward.People now still laugh during play, but we also integrate laughter into language and non-play behaviors, using laughter in diverse ways to express a range of emotions that may be positive or negative. Human laughter notably differs from other animals' laughter in another important way: its volume. People broadcast their laughter loudly, often as a way of establishing inclusion. By comparison, when most animals laugh, the sound is very quiet-just loud enough to be heard by the laugher's partner.“It's really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of vocalization during play,” Winkler told Live Science. “But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study.”5. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain causes of animal and human laughter.B. To assess complexities regarding animal laughter.C. To present findings on the existence of animal laughter.D. To analyze differences between animal and human laughter.6.What can we learn from this passage?A. Animal laughter is even noticeable in fish.B. Animal laughter is hard to recognize during play.C. People have learned to combine play with laughter.D. People laugh loudly because they want to involve others.7. What is probably the focus of future study on laughter?A. Distinctive features of human laughter.B. Different functions of animal laughter.C. The origin and development of human laughter.D. The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence.（2023 北京海淀统考二模）Even people who tend to think conventionally, such as accountants, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can look at emotional situations in a different light. In a set of experiments, researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised “emotional reappraisal”. This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens, such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful.The study indicates that creativity is something that can be trained. “Whenever we break away from our existing perspective and try to think about something that's different from our initial reaction, there's a creative element to it. If we can practise or train that flexible-thinking muscle, it may help us be more creative over time,” said lead author Lily Zhu, an assistant professor at Washington State University.For the study, Zhu and her colleagues conducted two similar experiments. In the first experiment with 335 people recruited through a crowdsourcing platform, the participants were first ranked on their openness levels and then shown a film scene designed to elicit (引起)anger. While viewing, they were given different instructions: to suppress their emotions, to think about something else to distract themselves or to try emotional reappraisal—looking at the scene through another lens. Some were also given no instruction on how to regulate their feelings.After viewing the film, the participants were asked to come up with an idea to use an empty space in their building. Those ideas were then evaluated by a panel of experts who did not know anything about the participants. Ideas such as using the space for “napping capsules” were considered highly creative whereas ideas like opening a similar cafeteria as before were considered low in creativity.The next experiment had a different group of 177 participants write about an experience that made them angry. They were then tasked with either writing about it again from a different emotional perspective or writing about something else as a distraction.In both experiments, conventional thinking participants who tried emotional reappraisal came up with more creative ideas than other conventional thinkers who used suppression, distraction or no emotional regulation strategy at all. Notably, for participants who were considered creative thinkers to begin with, emotional reappraisal did not seem to have much effect on their creativity.As to the implications of the study, Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings tocultivate creative thinking skills in employees. Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions.8. Which of the following is most probably an example of emotional reappraisal?A. Considering an occurrence objectively.B. Taking one's success as an opportunity.C. Distracting oneself from an annoying event.D. Regarding disappointment as a turning point.9.From the study, we know that__________A. creative thinkers' creativity was enhanced after practising emotional reappraisalB. evaluating experts had adequate information about the research subjectsC. the research findings could be applied to the training of employeesD. the first experiment aimed to select the most creative design10. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Change Feelings to Boost CreativityB. Effective Strategies to Manage EmotionsC. Think Over to Explore Creative PotentialD. A New Way to Remove Negative Emotions（2023 北京朝阳统考二模）Researchers from a U.K. plant research institute have found a way to provide plants with an antibody-based defense for a specific threat, potentially speeding the creation of crops resistant to any kind of emerging virus, or bacterium (细菌). The strategy is to inoculate a protein from the plant pathogen (病原体) to be targeted to a camel or other camel relatives, purify the unusually small antibodies the camels produce, and engineer the corresponding gene section for them into a plant’s own immune gene.Farmers lose many billions of dollars to plant diseases each year, and emerging pathogens pose new threats to food security in the developing world. Plants have evolved their own immune system, kick-started by cell receptors that recognize general pathogen features, such as a bacterial cell wall, as well as intracellular receptors for molecules (分子) produced by specific pathogens. If a plant cell detects these molecules, it may trigger its own death to save the rest of the plant. But plant pathogens often evolve and escape from those receptors.A long-standing dream in plant biotechnology is to create designer disease resistance genes that could be produced as fast as pathogens emerge. One approach is to edit the gene for a plant immune receptor, changing the protein’s shape to recognize a particular pathogenic molecule.Instead, Sophien Kamoun, a molecular biologist at the Sainsbury Laboratory, and his colleagues used an animal immune system to help make the receptor adjustments. During an infection with a new pathogen, animals produce billions of slightly different antibodies, ultimately selecting and mass-producing those that best target the virus.Camelids, which include camels, are workhorses for antibody design because their immune systems create unusually small versions, called nano-bodies. As a proof of principle of the new plant defense strategy, Kamoun’s group turned to two standard camelid nano-bodies that recognize two different molecules, including one called green fluorescent protein (GFP), to detect test viruses, in this case a potato virus, engineered to make the fluorescent proteins. They investigated how well plants with the nano-body-enhanced receptors detected thechanged potato viruses. It was found that the plants increased an active immune response and experienced almost no viral reproduction.“The exciting part about this technology is that we have the potential of made-to-order resistance genes and keeping up with a pathogen,” Kamoun says. “This technology is a potential game changer,” says Jeff Dangl, a plant researcher at the University of North Carolina. Ksenia Krasileva, a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, says the mixture of nano-bodies with plant immune receptors opens up a vast body of biomedical knowledge for plant scientists. “We can now dig into all of that research and translate it to save crops.”11. What does the underlined word “inoculate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Compare.B. Restore.C. Introduce.D. Label.12. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the function of cells in saving the plant.B. To explain how to strengthen plant receptors effectively.C. To demonstrate the solutions to farmers’ annual heavy losses.D. To reveal why plants fail to handle constantly-updated diseases.13. What can we learn from the passage?A. Editing plant receptors is to match the shape of pathogens.B. Nano-bodies can help plants catch up with pathogen changes.C. Plants select the best antibodies from animals to fight viruses.D. Plants with nano-bodies respond actively in massive virus copying.14. According to the passage, scientists will __________.A. apply the outcome in the real worldB. prove the findings of resistance genesC. identify similar means to fight diseasesD. seek more support for the new strategy（2023 北京丰台统考二模）Newspapers, advertisements, and labels surround us everywhere, turning our environment into a mass of texts to be read or ignored. As the quantity of information we receive continually increases and as information spreading is shifting from page to screen, it may be time to ask how changes in our way of reading may affect our mental life. For how we receive information bears vitally on the ways we experience and interpret reality.What is most obvious in the evolution of reading is the gradual displacement of the vertical (垂直的) by the horizontal—a shift from intensive to extensive reading. In our culture, access is not a problem, but proliferation (激增) is. And the reading act is necessarily different than it was in its earliest days. Awed by the availability of texts, the reader tends to move across surfaces without allowing the words to resonate (共鸣) inwardly.Interestingly, this shift from vertical to horizontal parallels the overall societal shift from bounded lifetimes spent in single locales to lives lived in wider geographical areas amid streams of data. This larger access was once regarded as worldliness—one traveled, knew the life of cities, the ways of diverse people…. It has now become the birthright of anyone who owns a television set.How do we square the advantages and disadvantages of horizontal and vertical awareness? The villagers, who know everything about their surroundings, are blessedly unaware of events in distant lands. The media-obsessedurbanites, by contrast, never lose their awareness of what happens in different parts of the world.We may ask, which people are happier? The villagers may have found more sense in things owing both to the limited range of their concern and the depth on their information. But restricted conditions and habit also suggest boredom and limitation. The lack of a larger perspective (视角) leads to suspiciousness and cautious conservatism, but for the same reason, the constant availability of data and macro-perspectives has its own decreasing returns. When everything is happening everywhere, it gets harder to care about anything.How do we assign value? Where do we find the fixed context that allows us to create a narrative of sense about our lives? Ideally, I suppose, one would have the best of both worlds—the purposeful fixity of the local, as well as the availability of enhancing views: a natural ecology of information and context.15. What can we learn about the first two paragraphs?A. Readers today tend to ignore deep engagement with texts.B. It’s difficult to shift from vertical to horizontal reading.C. Where and how we read texts shapes our mental life.D. People are tired of information proliferation.16. According to the passage, villagers .A. have a deeper understanding of their surroundingsB. show no interest in what happens in the worldC. are less bored than media-obsessed urbanitesD. cannot adapt to changing situations17. What can we learn from the passage?A. Vertical awareness allows us to care about others.B. Changes in our reading habits lead to the societal shift.C. It’s wise to keep a balance between a local and a global view.D. Horizontal reading affects our mindset more than vertical reading.（2023 北京昌平统考二模）Have you ever been indecisive in the decision of what color car you like? Last November, a magazine with great influence revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions, which are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what's possible. One of these inventions was the “color changing car”.At the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show, a famous car company showcased a concept car that can change colors. The surface coating of this car features e-ink that is most well-known from the displays of e-readers. It contains many millions of micro-capsules，each of which contains negatively charged white pigments（颜料）and positively charged black pigments. Depending on the chosen setting, stimulation by means of an electrical field causes either the white or the black pigments to collect at the surface of the micro-capsule, giving the car body the desired shade.The color chosen for a car is an expression of the driver's personalities. It offers a completely new way of changing the vehicle's appearance in line with the driver's preferences, the environmental conditions or even functional requirements.A variable exterior color can contribute to energy saving and wellness in the interior. This is done by taking into account the different abilities of light and dark colors when it comes to reflecting sunlight and the associated absorption of thermal energy. Heating of the vehicle as a result of strong sunlight and high outside temperatures can be reduced by changing the exterior to a light color. In cooler weather, a dark outer skin will help the vehicle to absorbnoticeably more warmth from the sun. This would reduce the amount of energy the vehicle electrical system needs, lowering the fuel or electricity consumption. In the interior, the technology could, for example, prevent the dashboard from heating up too much. In electric cars, changing the color with the weather would thus increase the range of the car. Considering the recent push for electric vehicles, this color changing technology could be a game-changer.“Digital experiences won't just be limited to displays in the future. There will be more and more connection between the real and virtual. With this concept car, we are bringing the car body to life, "says Frank Weber, a member of the board of this company.18.The concept car can change colors mainly because of .A. the reflection of sunlightB. the stability of electrical fieldC. the area of white and black e-inkD. the gathering of charged pigments19.As for the color changing car, which would the author agree with?A. It will be put into mass production in the near future.B. It can change colors automatically according to weather.C. It can show personalities and improve car performance.D. It will save energy by transforming heat into electrical energy.20.Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Car Design: New ChallengesB. The Development of Car ExteriorC.

Passage 1 〔目标有三种〕There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.目标有三种：短期目标，中期目标和长期目标。

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon pleting our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been pleted.短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标。

短期目标可以以少于一个星期，一个星期，两个星期，或者可能的话一个月来完成。

热点话题三关爱人类命运共创美妙将来Ⅰ.阅读理解[2024·潍坊市高考模拟]It's a simple yet effective message that appeals, and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self­declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but he recognized that his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2024, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2024, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree­planting, he said, “It represents team eff ort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1，000th tree milestone in the last two years.”While it's something of an own__goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat­trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown.Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated.While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1.8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset (抵消) half of all carbon released since 1960.1．What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?A．Release of too much CO2. B．Dream of motivating others.C．Passion for sports and nature. D．Habit of exercising in the woods.2．What did Lesein do in 2024?A．He created a blog for WWF. B．He multiplied his commitment.C．He planted one tree for each goal. D．He extended his work to other teams.3．What do the underlined words “own goal” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Aim that is intended to achieve. B．Action that harms one's own interests.C．Pursuit toward which effort is directed. D．Goal that is scored for the opposing team.4．What can we learn from Lesein's story?A．United, we win. B．No pains, no gains.C．Love me ，love my dog. D．Small deeds, big difference.Ⅱ.完形填空[2024·河南省名校联盟冲刺压轴卷]One Kenyan woman, Nzambi Matee, saw much plastic waste around.

Besides, the traditional method also uses a lot of water to control weeds as herbicides are costly and often do not distinguish between the rice and the unwanted weeds.Government scientists said the new rice varieties contain a gene that would allow farmers to spray a common, inexpensive herbicide without worrying about any side effects. “Our focus is very hi gh on new seeds that can be adapted to new conditions, especially in changing climates，” Modi said.Water conservation is likely to be the main attraction of the new rice varieties in India, where farmers rely heavily on the monsoon (季风) rain. The traditional method uses 3，000 to 5，000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of rice. The new varieties could cut water use by at least 50% to 60%, farmers and government officials say. “For farmers like us, the main concern was the management of water, and the new varieties take care of that concern，” said Ravindra Kajal, who grows rice on his 9­acre farmland in the northern state of Haryana. India is the world's second­largest rice producer after China.7．Which is the benefit of the new rice?A．It can produce herbicides.B．It can be planted in any field.C．It needs a lot of water to grow.D．It can save money for farmers.8．Why can farmers apply a common herbicide to the new rice? A．The new rice contains herbicides itself.B．The herbicide is suitable for all rice varieties.C．The gene in the new rice can avoid harm from the herbicide. D．The herbicide can distinguish the rice from the weeds. 9．What plays an important role in rice­planting in India? A．Water. B．Temperature.C．Wind.

2023年北京重点校高二（下）期末英语汇编阅读理解C篇一、阅读理解（2023春·北京朝阳·高二统考期末）Growing up, Chelsea Wood dreamed of becoming a sea biologist and studying large, exciting animals like sharks. Instead, she later found herself looking through a microscope at the organs of a snail(蜗牛) and saw thousands of little white sausage-shaped parasites(寄生虫). Through the microscope, each parasite had two dark eyespots, which made them surprisingly attractive. “I couldn’t believe that I’d been looking at snails for as long as I had and missing all the cool stuff happening inside them,” says Wood, now a parasitologist at University of Washington.Nearly half of all known animals on Earth are parasites. According to one study, a tenth of them may already be certain to extinction due to climate change, loss of their hosts, and intentional attempts of wiping them out. But now it seems that few people care.By definition, parasites live in or on a host and take something from that host. But not all parasites cause harm, and only a small percentage affect their hosts. In fact, parasites play essential roles in ecosystems, keeping some populations in check while helping to feed others. Without parasites keeping them in check, populations of some animals would explode. Many parasites move into their next host by controlling the host they’re in, which drive that host into an animal’s mouth so that the animal can be fed.Even human health wouldn’t entirely benefit from wiping out parasites. The human immune system(免疫系统) evolved with a group of parasites, and when we killed them off, our immune systems began attacking ourselves. Some people with Crohn’s disease have even purposely infected themselves with intestinal(肠道的) parasites live deserves our attention. If you get to understand them, you may find the bravery and attraction of parasites. They’ve evolved clever means of survival, from becoming a fish’s tongue to controlling the mind of cockroach(蟑螂).However, scientists aren’t eager to save all the parasites. The guinea worm, for instance, gets a hard pass from even the most stubborn conservationists. It grows to adulthood inside a person’s leg, causing harm to one’s health. Ultimately, the goal of promoting parasite conservation isn’t to make everyone fall in love with them. Instead, it’s to call a relaxation in our war against all of them, because there’s still so much we don’t understand about their value to ecosystems and maybe even to people.1．What does the author indicate by referring to Chelsea Wood’s story?A．All parasitologists initially intended to study parasites.B．Parasites are easily ignored compared with large animals.C．Animals like sharks have more research value than parasites.D．Scientists study parasites because of their attractive appearance.2．The author uses the example underlined in paragraph 4 to __________.A．introduce an approach B．draw a comparisonC．present an assumption D．illustrate an argument3．What can we infer from the passage?A．Parasites can smartly survive without their hosts.B．Conservationists believe all parasites should be protected.C．Some parasites are important for the balance of our ecosystem.D．Parasites can change their hosts by directly moving onto other animals.4．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Why are parasites Dying Out?B．Why Should We Spare Parasites?C．How Do Parasites Affect Ecosystems?D．How Can We Create a World Without Parasites?（2023春·北京大兴·高二统考期末）Do you know the websites that let you name a star after your beloved one, your kid or your dog for a small fee? Yeah, those are all fake— you could pay me to “name” a star for $50, and I’ll take your money and show the name online. I’ll even send you a fancy certificate! It seems that you’ve named a star, but it just doesn’t count.Actually, the only organization that owns official naming rights is the International Astronomical Union, or the IAU. It was founded in 1919 and based in Paris, France. It is where astronomers and other professionals have reached the agreements and is the official record-keeping body for all discoveries in space.Recently they do open up an opportunity for the public to name a dozen of planets outside the solar system. These planets will be among the first to be studied with the James Webb Space Telescope. However, they currently only have boring and complicated documents that were used to find them. That’s why the IAU is looking for something more interesting.But before you start naming the planets, you should know the rules. First, nothing is rude or annoying. Second, the name should be less than 16 characters long and pronounceable in at least one language with no commercial or business names and nothing is named after a living individual or a pet.The competition, named “Stars Worlds”, is open next Thursday, January 20th. It’s the third such contest the IAU has held, and the purpose is to get the public more interested in science as well as the organization. The competition also helps to break centuries of European dominance when it comes to naming things in the night sky. So people around the world can share the joy of discovery and make their mark in history.5．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By listing figures.B．By taking an example.C．By offering a solution.D．By showing differences.6．What can we know about the IAU from the passage?A．It was founded by France.B．It studies the space telescope.C．It organizes trips to the space.D．It has the right to name the stars.7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Why the competition is held.B．How the competition develops.C．What to expect in the competition.D．How to take part in the competition.8．Where is this passage most likely taken from?A．A novel.B．A textbook.C．A diary.D．A magazine.（2023春·北京海淀·高二统考期末）Hardly a day goes by without some new claim promising to bring uscloser to the metaverse(元宇宙) in the not-too-distant future. On hearing this, some will feel pure excitement, but others will feel unsure or downright opposed. Our habit in recent history has been looking down upon those with doubts on technological progress. It may be time to re-examine that.There has been a backlash to technology since historical memories began. Every new form of communication has attracted criticism for increasing the pace of life. For example, people once feared that cars travelling at 20 to 30 miles per hour might rob their passengers of oxygen.When we look back, contemporary resistance to technological advancement can look completely foolish, but often it isn’t. The Luddites, for example, the destroyer of mill (作坊) machinery in the early industrial revolution, are generally referred to as a historical joke. But if we look at their real complaints, it wasn’t some naive anti-progress movement; it was about economics. Cotton mills replaced skilled, home-based, independent work with lower-skilled work in a factory, accompanied by much less autonomy and much less pay.The mill might have been more efficient and thus more profitable, but it would take decades of campaigning to distribute those gains even approximately fairly—with the birth of the trade union movement, the welfare state and more. So, was their resistance really so unreasonable?While metaverse advocates would like to paint skeptics as simply rooted in the past, at least some doubts are well founded. The reasons to be cautious of the next wave of technology are varied. One is simply whether the technologies in question are where they are claimed to be. If the company has a habit of over promising, few in the know will take its claims of inventions seriously.Other more striking metaverse technologies rely on virtual reality, which still largely consists of heavy headsets and odd arm controls—all just to be able to operate an avatar through an awkward online world. VR has been “the next big thing” for decades and the public has consistently felt otherwise: there isn’t much to do once you are there, the technology gives many people motion sickness and, perhaps most problematically of all, the whole thing just seems extremely silly. Another popular innovation, health tracking, hasn’t caught the wider public by storm because many consumers worry about what will happen to their data.There is much to anticipate as we bring online and offline worlds together. But we should learn not to dismiss concerns or caution about this, either. There are many rational reasons for people to take part in the techlash.9．What does the underlined word “backlash” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A．Exposure.B．Commitment.C．Opposition.D．Transformation.10．What can we learn about the Luddites movement?A．It contributed to the success of the industrial revolution.B．It made lower-skilled workers replaced by mills.C．It led to the birth of the trade union movement.D．It was launched largely for economic reasons.11．People are hesitant about the next wave of technology partly because they _________.A．are not interested in virtual realityB．think some companies make overstatementsC．worry about the inaccuracy of their data collectedD．are embarrassed about wearing the awkward headsets12．As for technological innovation, the author would agree _________.A．enthusiasts are being unreasonableB．the public should stay cool-headedC．most of the criticism is groundlessD．people should welcome new technology（2023春·北京西城·高二统考期末）This week I watched an international news program and saw what looked like most of the planet—the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia—painted in bright oranges and reds. Fahrenheit (华氏温度的) temperatures in three-digit numbers seemed to burn all over on the world map.Heat records have burst around the globe. This very weekend, crops are burning, roads are bending and seas are rising, while lakes recede, or even disappear. Ice sheets melt in rising heat, and wildfires attack forests. People are dying in this heat. Lives of all kinds are threatened, in cities, fields, seas, deserts and forests. Wildlife, farm animals, insects and human beings are in pain.The UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says there is more deadly heat in our future because of climate change caused by our species on this planet. Even with advances in wind, solar and other alternative energy sources, and international promises and agreements, the world still derives about 80% of its energy from fossil fuels, like oil, gas and coal, which release the carbon dioxide that’s warmed the climate to the current temperatures of this hot summer. The WMO’s chief, Petteri Taalas, said this week, “In the future these kinds of heatwaves are going to be normal.”The most alarming word in his forecast might be: “normal.” I’m of a generation that thought of summer as a sunny time for children. I think of long days spent outdoors without worry, playing games or just wandering. John Updike wrote in his poem, “June”:The sun is richAnd gladly paysIn golden hours,Silver days,And long green weeksThat never end.School’s out. The timeIs ours to spend.There’s Little League,Hopscotch, the creek,And, after supper,Hide-and-seek.The live-long lightIs like a dream...But now that bright, “live-long light,” of which Updike wrote, might look threatening in a summer like this.The extremely hot weeks that we see this year cause one to wonder if our failures to care for the planet given to us will make our children look forward to summer, or fear another season of heat.13．What does the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Get.B．Reduce.C．Waste.D．Save.14．According to WMO, ______.A．alternative energy is the solution to climate changeB．the heatwaves are caused by the advanced technologyC．agreements need to be signed to deal with climate changeD．use of traditional energy is responsible for the heatwaves15．Why does the author mention John Updike’s poem?A．To describe the beauty of summer.B．To indicate the end of happy summers.C．To compare different feelings about summer.D．To suggest ways for children to spend summer.16．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．What leads to a hot summer B．Children are afraid of summerC．Burning summers are the future D．How we can survive a hot summer（2023春·北京东城·高二统考期末）Overly technical language in science articles doesn’t just muddy the waters for non-experts—it can alienate readers, potentially shutting them out from scientific discussion and knowledge. That’s the conclusion of a study published in the Journal of Language and Social Psychology, and it applies to general-interest articles just as much as to scientific papers.“When we have a hard time conceptualizing information, we become really scared of it,” says lead author Hillary Shulman, a communication researcher. Scientists can create “unnecessary barriers” with words, she says. The study involved 650 members of the general public who read paragraphs on three cutting-edge topics: self-driving cars, robotic surgery and 3D bio-printing. The members are divided into two groups: for the experimental group, the paragraphs were loaded with jargon terms (行业术语), such as “remote ergonomic console”; for the control group, the paragraphs were written with words that are familiar to most readers, such as “separate control panel”.After reading the passages, the study participants rated their experience in a series of questionnaires. Those who read jargon-filled paragraphs were more likely to say that they had difficulty understanding the language and the information. They were also significantly more likely to say that they weren’t good at science, and less likely to say that they would seek out information on the topic in the future. Some of the participants who read the jargon- heavy text received links to definitions of technical terms, but that didn’t reduce their frustrations or enhance their feelings of understanding.Scientists can learn to cut back on their use of technical language when talking to people who are not researchers,says Ayelet Baram-Tsabari, a science-communication researcher. She co-authored a January study showing that scientists with media training can write articles that are just as engaging as pieces written by professional journalists. “Avoiding jargon is a fundamental part of that, but it’s not the whole story,” she says. To really connect with the public, she recommends that scientists tell a story that’s relevant to the audience. Members of the public aren’t the only ones who can be turned off by jargon, Shulman says. Students can be, too. “I teach a class with 400 undergrads,” she says. “When you’re training people, you can introduce jargon with a little more sensitivity. You’re trying to invite them into the environment.”Of course, technical words still have an important function in science. Shulman’s paper is itself heavily loaded with terms such as “metacognition” and “self-schema”. “The irony of that is not lost on me,” she says. “When it comes to scientific literature, you can’t get anything published unless it’s full of jargon. Scientists want to speak to other scientists in the most precise way possible.”17．In the study, participants in the experimental group probably find themselves ______.A．lacking in elementary reading skillsB．uninterested in reading definitions of jargonC．incompetent to deal with complex informationD．not confident about grasping new science topics18．According to Baram-Tsabari, scientists had better ______.A．publicize science in a more accessible wayB．receive the training for professional journalistsC．limit jargon in communication with each otherD．conduct extensive research related to the public19．What does Shulman think of using jargon in her paper?A．Disadvantageous.B．Shameful.C．Unavoidable.D．Tricky.（2023春·北京平谷·高二统考期末）With the development of technology, computers are more capable of using language. Large language models ( LLMs) , of which the most famous is ChatGPT, produce what looks like human writing. However, a debate has been aroused over these items: what the machines are actually doing internally and what the operation of the brain is when humans speak.According to Professor Noam Chomsky, a famous linguist( 语言学家) , human language is different from all other kinds of communication. All human languages are more similar to each other than they are to other types of communication, such as whale song or computer code. In a recent New York Times op-ed, Chomsky and two co-authors said “ we know” that computers do not think or use language as humans do. LLMs, in fact, just predict the next word in a string of words.It is hard to understand what LLMs “think”. Details of the programming and training data of commercial ones like ChatGPT are proprietary. And not even the programmers know exactly what is going on inside.Linguists have, however, found clever ways to test LLMs’ underlying knowledge. They found that LLMs can handle some new words and grasp parts of speech. For example, tell ChatGPT that “dax” is a verb meaning to eat a slice of pizza by folding it, and the system can use it easily: “ After a long day at work, I like to relax and dax on aslice of pizza while watching my favourite TV show. ”GPT-3 ( the LLM underlying ChatGPT until the recent release of GPT-4 ) is estimated to be trained on about 1, 000 times the data a human ten-year-old is exposed to. That leaves open the possibility that children have an inborn tendency to grammar, making them far more proficient than any LLM. In a forthcoming paper in Linguistic Inquiry, researchers claim to have trained an LLM on no more text than a human child is exposed to, finding that it can use even rare bits of grammar. But other researchers have tried to train an LLM on a database of only child-directed language. Here LLMs behaved worse. Perhaps the brain really is built for language, as Professor Chomsky says. 20．According to Noam Chomsky, ______.A．whale songs are similar to computer codeB．no further research shall be carried out on ChatGPTC．computers do not deal with language like humans doD．human language is based on other kinds of communication21．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that______ .A．LLMs might become a tool of learning languagesB．some linguists are opposed to the technology of LLMsC．linguists have the hobby of daxing on a slice of pizzaD．any complicated word in the world can be handled via LLMs22．The passage mainly tells us ______.A．what LLMs are not capable ofB．how linguists understand LLMsC．why human should reject ChatGPTD．that human languages would be replaced by ChatGPT参考答案1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B【导语】本文为说明文。

cefr c1 阅读理解英文回答：CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) C1 level is an advanced level of language proficiency. It indicates that the individual can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and can recognize implicit meaning. In terms of reading comprehension, it means that the individual can read and understand complex texts on various topics, including both concrete and abstract ideas.At the C1 level, reading comprehension involves more than just understanding the literal meaning of the text. It requires the ability to analyze and interpret the information presented, as well as to make connections and draw conclusions. This level of proficiency enables individuals to read and comprehend articles, essays, reports, and other types of texts with ease.One example of a C1 level reading comprehension task could be reading a newspaper article about a current social issue and answering questions based on the information provided. For instance, I recently read an article about the impact of social media on mental health. The article discussed the potential negative effects of excessivesocial media use on individuals' well-being. It highlighted the importance of being mindful of our online habits and taking breaks from social media to maintain a healthy balance. After reading the article, I was able to answer questions about the main idea, supporting details, and implications of the information presented.中文回答：CEFR（欧洲语言共同参考框架）C1级别是高级语言能力水平。

2023北京高三一模英语汇编阅读理解C篇一、阅读理解（2023·北京东城·统考一模）Many people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise.In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.“We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation. ”When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude, ” said Brucks,“so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person. ”Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace.Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise—a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office.1．What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A．Shake.B．Revise.C．Challenge.D．Strengthen.2．At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________.A．videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communicationB．participants should make eye contact in an online meetingC．the feedback from companies seems questionableD．creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts3．What can we learn about Brucks’ class?A．Her students relieved anxiety by speaking up.B．Her students progressed in focusing attention.C．Her students took advantage of virtual learning.D．Her students displayed talent for public speaking. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation B．Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation C．Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity D．Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity （2023·北京西城·统考一模）Imagine a simple blood test that could flag most kinds of cancers at the earliest, most curable stage. Liquid biopsies could, in theory, detect a tumor (肿瘤) well before it could be found by touch, symptoms or imaging. Blood tests could avoid the need for surgeons to cut tissue samples and make it possible to reveal cancer hiding in places needles and scalpels cannot safely reach. They could also determine what type of cancer is taking root to help doctors decide what treatment might work best to destroy it.Liquid biopsies are not yet in hand, because it is hard to find definitive cancer signals in a tube of blood, but progress in recent years has been impressive. Last year the journal Science published the first big prospective study of a liquid biopsy for DNA and proteins from multiple types of cancers. Though far from perfect, the blood test called CancerSEEK found 26 tumors that had not been discovered with conventional screenings.Liquid biopsies can rely on a variety of biomarkers in addition to tumor DNA and proteins, such as free-floating cancer cells themselves. But what makes the search difficult, Ana Robles, a cancer biologist of the National Cancer Institute, explains, is that “if you have an early-stage cancer or certain types of cancer, there might not be a lot of tumor DNA,” and tests might miss it. The ideal blood test will be both very specific and very sensitive so that even tiny tumors can be found. To tackle this challenge, CancerSEEK looks for cancer-specific mutations (突变) on 16 genes, and for eight proteins that are linked to cancer and for which there are highly sensitive tests.Simple detection is not the only goal. An ideal liquid biopsy will also determine the likely location of the cancer so that it can be treated. “Mutations are often shared among different kinds of cancer, so if you find them in blood, you don’t know if that mutation is coming from a stomach cancer or lung cancer,” says Anirban Maitra, a cancer scientist at the Anderson Cancer Center. To solve that problem, some newer liquid biopsies look for changes in gene expression. Such changes, Maitra notes, are “more organ-specific”.On the nearer horizon are liquid biopsies to help people already diagnosed with cancer. Last year the government approved the first two such tests, which scan for tumor DNA so doctors can select mutation-targeted drugs. Scientists are working on blood tests to detect the first signs of cancer recurrence (复发) in patients who have completed treatment. This work is moving fast, but does it save lives?That is the question companies such as Thrive and Grail must answer for their broadly ambitious screening tests. “These companies have to prove that they can detect early cancer and, more important, that the early detection can have an impact on cancer survival,” Maitra observes.5．According to the passage, liquid biopsies are expected toA．flag cancer and determine the treatmentB．detect cancer signals from a sample of bloodC．take images of tumors and prevent potential cancersD．show types of cancer by measuring the amount of proteins6．What can we learn from the passage?A．Signs of cancer recurrence are not detectable.B．Different kinds of cancer have different gene mutations.C．Biomarkers are much more reliable than tumor DNA and proteins.D．Organ-specific cancers will be identified through changes in gene expression.7．The author is mostly concerned about whether .A．liquid biopsies can discover tumors conventional screenings can’t findB．liquid biopsies can improve the application of mutation-targeted drugsC．liquid biopsies can help save the lives of those with cancerD．liquid biopsies can be developed for cancer prevention（2023·北京海淀·统考一模）To a chef, the sounds of lip smacking, slurping and sallwing are the highest form of fltery (恭维). But to someone with a certain type of misophonia (恐音症), these same sounds can be torturous. Brain scans are now helping scientists start to understand why.People with misophonia experience strong discomfort, annoyance or disgust when they hear particular triggers. These can include chewing, swallowing, slurping, throat clearing, coughing and even audible breathing. Researchers previously thought this reaction might be caused by the brain overactively processing certain sounds. Now, however, a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened “mirroring” behavior in the brain: those affected feel distress while their brains act as if they were imitating the triggering mouth movements."This is the first breakthrough in misophonia research in 25 years, " says psychologist Jennifer J. Brout, who directs the International Misophonia Research Network and was not involved in the new study.The research team, led by Newcastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar, analyzed brain activity in people with and without misophonia when they were at rest and while they listened to sounds. These included misophonia triggers (such as chewing), generally unpleasant sounds (like a crying baby), and neutral sounds. The brain's auditory (听觉的) cortex, which processes sound, reacted similarly in subjects with and without misophonia. But in both the resting state and listening trials, people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face, mouth and throat, while the controlled group didn't. Kumar found this connection became most active in participants with misophonia when they heard triggers specific to the condition.“Just by listening to the sound, they activate the motor cortex more strongly. So in a way it was as if they were doing the action themselves,” Kumar says. Some mirroring is typical in most humans when witnessing others' actions; the researchers do not yet know why an excessive (过分的) mirroring response might cause such a negative reaction, and hope to address that in future research. “Possibilities include a sense of loss of control, invasion of personal space, or interference with current goals and actions, " the study authors write.Fatima Husain, an llinois University professor of speech and hearing science, who was not involved in the study, says potential misophonia therapies could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds- not just coping with the sounds themselves. If this works, sheadds, one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.8. It can be learnt from the new study that .A. misophonia sufferers can't help imitating the triggersB. people with misophonia are more likely to flatter chefsC. the brains of people with misophonia overreact to sounds stronglyD. misophonia sufferers tend to have similar annoying activities in their brains9. Compared with people without misophonia, people with misophonia .A. suffer less severely at the resting stateB. own markedly different brain structuresC. react more negatively at a mirroring responseD. lose control of their facial movements easily10. What might be the significance of the study?A. Improving speech and hearing science.B. Developing a treatment for misophonia.C. Drawing people's attention to misophonia.D. Promoting human brain structure research.（2023·北京朝阳·统考一模）Clown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a “wall of mouths” by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish’s sense of smell.My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn’t recognize the meaning of them.It is always tricky to say that behaviors seen in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef’s northern islands to test how wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted to the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adapt? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months-an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge.At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising watertemperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish’s minds.11．What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Risky.B．Hurried.C．Mysterious.D．Helpless.12．What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water?A．They lost their senses to chemical signals.B．They were less likely to respond to threats.C．Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild.D．They tended to seek the protection from their home.13．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The author’s study confirms previous findings.B．Fish’s adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time.C．Different fishes behave differently to acidity change.D．The chances of restoring fish’s minds are yet to be seen.14．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures?B．What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures?C．How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem?D．How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification?（2023·北京丰台·统考一模）Many people would answer the question of what makes us human by insisting that we are cultural beings. There is no doubt that we are. But one definition of culture is the totality of traditions acquired in a community by social learning from other individuals, and many animal species have traditions. Can we then say that some animals are cultural beings too?One approach to study culture in animals is the so-called Method of Exclusion (排除), in which scientists investigate behavioral variations across populations of one species. In a famous study, scientists learned that chimpanzee (黑猩猩) behaviors were socially passed on as they were present at some sites but not at others, despite having same ecological settings. For example, chimpanzees in Tai National Park in Ivory Coast are well-known for their nut-cracking skills. Chimpanzees in Gombe national part in Tanzania, on the other hand, do not crack nuts, although nuts exist in their environment too.However, when applying the Method of Exclusion, one has to be very careful. There are other factors that could also explain the pattern of behavioral evaluation. For example, some of the chimpanzee techniques scientists evaluated occur in only one of the three subspecies. So it’s quite possible that these behaviors also have an innate component. This would mean that one chimpanzee subspecies uses a new technique not out of cultural tradition, but because the behavior is fixed to specific genes. Another factor that has to be excluded is of course the environment Chimpanzees in Mahale do not fish algae (水藻), simply because algae does not exist there.But when we exclude all the variations that can be explained by genes or environment, we still find that animals do show cultural variations. Does that mean there is no real difference between them and us after all? Not exactly: There is a fundamental difference between human and animal culture. Only humans can build culturally on what generations before us have learned. This is called “cumulative culture”. We don’t have to keep reinventing the wheel. This is called the “ratchet (棘轮) effect”. Like a ratchet that can be turned forward but not back, people’s cultural techniques evolve.It is likely that behaviors we see today in chimpanzee cultures could be invented over and over again by individual animals themselves. In contrast, a child born today would not be able to invent a computer without the knowledge of many past generations.15．Why does the author mention the example of the chimpanzees in two parks in Paragraph 2?A．To prove that culture does exist in animals.B．To justify the uniqueness of the research method.C．To compare how chimpanzees behave in different parks.D．To stress the importance of environment in studying culture.16．What does the underlined word “innate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Advanced.B．Inborn.C．Adaptive.D．Intelligent.17．What can we learn from the passage?A．Cumulative culture is what sets humans apart from animals.B．Culure in animals is as worthy to be valued as human culture.C．Animals don’t have the ability to invent behaviors in a community.D．The “ratchet effect” decides if humans can build on past experiences.（2023·北京石景山·Recently, a new discovery has been made in the field of biology that challenges our previous understanding of the origins of life on Earth. For decades, scientists believed that life emerged in a warm, shallow pond, where a series of chemical reactions led to the creation of the first living cells. However, a team of researchers has now uncovered evidence that suggests life may have actually begun in a quite different environment.The discovery was made in a remote part of the ocean, where a team of scientists was exploring a hydrothermal vent (深海热泉) system located deep beneath the surface. Hydrothermal vents release superheated water and gases from the Earth’s mantle (地幔). They create an extreme environment that is unfavourable to most forms of life, but home to a variety of unique organisms.As the scientists collected samples of the vent’s mineral-rich liquid, they noticed something strange. They discovered that it contained a complex network of organic molecules (分子), including amino acids (氨基酸) and other building blocks of life. This was surprising, as hydrothermal vents were previously thought to be empty of life-supporting chemicals. However, the most striking discovery was yet to come. Analysis of the organic molecules revealed that they were not simply the product of chemical reactions in the vent, but rather had been produced by living organisms. This served as evidence of a lively ecosystem that was completely independent of sunlight and the surface world.This discovery has significant implications for our understanding of the origins of life on Earth. The warmpond hypothesis (假说), which has long been the dominant theory, suggests that life emerged in a relatively warm and damp environment. However, the new evidence from the hydrothermal vent system suggests that life may have actually begun in an extreme environment, where survival was only possible through the development of original biochemical pathways. The discovery also raises new questions about the potential for life to exist on other celestial bodies (天体). Hydrothermal vents have been identified on Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Jupiter’s moon Europa. The presence of organic molecules at these sites suggests that unique forms of life may exist.While this discovery is still in its early stages, it is already beginning to reshape our understanding of the origins of life and the potential for life on other planets. It is a testament to the power of scientific exploration and the incredible complexity of life on Earth. As we continue to explore the depths of the ocean and the vast expanse of space, who knows what other surprises and discoveries lie in store.18．What did the scientists newly discover in the vent’s liquid?A．Superheated gases.B．A variety of minerals.C．Life-supporting chemicals.D．Complex forms of life.19．What can we learn from the passage?A．The warm pond hypothesis proves to be right.B．Organic molecules lead to chemical reactions.C．Forms of life were identified in the vents on other planets.D．Original biochemical pathways can occur in severe conditions.20．What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A．Researches help us push the boundaries of technology.B．Scientists have addressed the limitations of the research.C．D．Researchers have confirmed the origins and complexity of life.（2023·北京房山·统考一模）Vast underwater meadows (草甸) of gently waving sea grass cover hundreds of miles up and down the West Coast. These blue-green fields perform a variety of important services. They protect the shoreline from erosion, clear pollutants from the water and provide habitats for all kinds of marine animals.New research suggests sea grass meadows may also mitigate a serious consequence of greenhouse gas emissions: the steady acidification of ocean waters. The study published in the journal Global Change Biology finds that sea grass forests can raise pH levels in coastal waters. As they perform photosynthesis (光合作用), they remove carbon dioxide from the water, counteracting the acidifying effect of the gas.“I think we are all very excited about it,” said lead study author Aurora Ricart, a scientist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Marine Sciences.Ocean acidification is a side effect of rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Some of this CO2 dissolves out of the air and into the sea, causing a chemical reaction that lowers the water’s pH. Scientists sometimes refer to it as global warming’s “evil twin”—an invisible companion to climate change.Ocean acidification can have harmful effects on marine organisms like shellfish and coral by preventing them from properly forming the hard shells they need to survive. It’s a threat both to natural ecosystems and to shellfish fisheries around the world. The study presents a natural way to address the problem.Researchers analyzed six years of data from sea grass meadows spanning more than 600 miles off the California coastline. It focused on the common eelgrass, one of the most widespread sea grass species on the West Coast. The authors claim it’s the largest, most comprehensive study of its kind.According to the study, sea grass ecosystems can raise pH levels by more than 0.1 unit, equivalent to about a 30% decrease in acidity. The effect isn’t constant. It comes in waves and is influenced by temperature, daylight, ocean currents and other factors that affect water chemistry and sea grass photosynthesis rates. But the tempering influence on acidification can be lasting, sometimes persisting for up to three weeks at a time. The study also shows that pH is higher in sea grass ecosystems, compared to nearby areas with no sea grass, about 65% of the time.The study didn’t investigate the effects of higher pH on marine organisms — that’s a question for future research. But there’s reason to believe these meadows may have a positive influence on shellfish and other ocean animals.21．What can we learn from this passage?A．Sea grass forests can lower pH levels of coastal waters.B．Shellfish and corals are not affected by ocean acidification.C．Sea grass meadows can help remove pollutants from the sea water.D．The effects of higher pH on marine organisms were investigated in this study.22．What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Relieve.B．Present.C．Cause.D．Predict.23．Paragraph 7 tells us the research ________.A．findings B．process C．questions D．reflection24．Why does the author write this passage?A．To illustrate the serious situation of climate change.B．To present the living conditions of the underwater meadows.C．To emphasize the importance of research on marine pollution.D．To introduce a natural way to solve the problem of ocean acidification.（2023·北京延庆·统考一模）Making use of the wind, the water or, for more than half of all plant species, animals, plants disperse (散播) seeds far and wide. Frugivores — animals such as gibbons that feed on the fleshy fruits of plants — eat and then excrete (排泄) seeds away from the original tree. The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it comes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60 percent over the past 50 years.Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience (恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.Evan Fricke, lead author of the study, explains that in order to reach these results, they pulled together existing data from all previous studies and used machine learning to develop models that could estimate the seed dispersal potential of any animal, even ones that are now extinct.The researchers found that, historically, the decline of seed-dispersing animals has had the greatest influence on plants across the temperate (温带的) regions of North and South America, Europe and southern Australia. “Our temperate ecosystems have lost a lot of the natural seed-dispersal function that they would have had.” explains Fricke, referring to large mammals that were once widespread in these regions.Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent. “The direct implication of this decline is that many plant species will be unable to keep pace with a changing climate,” says Fricke. “That means the potential loss not only of plant biodiversity but of the ecosystem functions that those plants provide.”As wildlife is lost, plants can no longer adapt and survive and forests become less sustainable, which reduces the amount of carbon they can store. They also lose their ability to support wildlife. Whole ecosystems are disrupted. The conclusion, Fricke says, is clear: we must conserve currently endangered species and restore the populations of important seed dispersers. “Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit of increasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems,” he says.25．The author mentions the African savanna elephant in Paragraph 1 is to ________.A．highlight the problem B．predict the endingC．express an opinion D．provide a solution26．What does Fricke conclude from the study?A．plants disperse seeds by way of animals excreting them.B．rewilding can promote the climate resilience of our ecosystems.C．seed-dispersing animals could hardly affect the natural ecosystems.D．the loss of seed-dispersing animals has little influence on temperate regions.27．Which would be the best title of the passage?A．The Resilience of EcosystemsB．The Conservation of Seed-dispersing AnimalsC．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Essential — And Under ThreatD．Animals That Spread Seeds Are Endangered — And Well Protected。

2023全国高考真题英语汇编阅读理解C篇一、阅读理解（2023·全国·统考高考真题）The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works, and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it’s right for you.To do so, I divided the book into two parts. In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.1．What is the book aimed at?A．Teaching critical thinking skills. B．Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.C．Solving philosophical problems. D．Promoting the use of a digital device.2．What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Clear-up. B．Add-on. C．Check-in. D．Take-over.3．What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A．Theoretical models. B．Statistical methods.C．Practical examples. D．Historical analyses.4．What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?A．Use them as needed. B．Recommend them to friends.C．Evaluate their effects. D．Identify the ideas behind them.（2023·全国·统考高考真题）Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.5．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing.C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings.6．What are the selected artworks about?A．Wealth and intellect. B．Home and school.C．Books and reading. D．Work and leisure.7．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Understand. B．Paint.C．Seize. D．Transform.8．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?A．The printed book is not totally out of date.B．Technology has changed the way we read.C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D．People now rarely have the patience to read.（2023·北京·统考高考真题）In recent years, researchers from diverse fields have agreed that short-termism is now a significant problem in industrialised societies. The inability to engage with longer-term causes and consequences leads to some of the world’s most serious problems: climate change, biodiversity collapse, and more. The historian Francis Cole argues that the West has entered a period where “only the present exists, a present characterised at once by the cruelty of the instant and by the boredom of an unending now”.It has been proved that people have a bias (偏向) towards the present, focusing on loud attractions in the moment at the expense of the health, well-being and financial stability of their future selves or community. In business, this bias surfaces as short-sighted decisions. And on slow-burning problems like climate change, it translates into theunwillingness to make small sacrifices (牺牲) today that could make a major difference tomorrow. Instead, all that matters is next quarter’s profit, or satisfying some other near-term desires.These biased perspectives cannot be blamed on one single cause. It is fair to say, though, that our psychological biases play a major role. People’s hesitancy to delay satisfaction is the most obvious example, but there are others. One of them is about how the most accessible information in the present affects decisions about the future. For instance, you might hear someone say: “It’s cold this winter, so I needn’t worry about global warming.”Another is that loud and urgent matters are given too much importance, making people ignore longer-term trends that arguably matter more. This is when a pop star draws far more attention than, say, gradual biodiversity decline.As a psychologist once joked, if aliens (外星人) wanted to weaken humanity, they wouldn’t send ships; they would invent climate change. Indeed, when it comes to environmental transformations, we can develop a form of collective “poor memory”, and each new generation can believe the state of affairs they encounter is nothing out of the ordinary. Older people today, for example, can remember a time with insect-covered car windscreens after long drives. Children, on the other hand, have no idea that insect population has dropped dramatically.9．The author quotes Francis Cole mainly to ________.A．draw a comparisonB．introduce a topicC．evaluate a statementD．highlight a problem10．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Climate change has been forgotten.B．Lessons of history are highly valued.C．The human mind is bad at noting slow change.D．Humans are unwilling to admit their shortcomings.11．What does the author intend to tell us?A．Far-sighted thinking matters to humans.B．Humans tend to make long-term sacrifices.C．Current policies facilitate future decision-making.D．Bias towards the present helps reduce near-term desires.（2023·全国·统考高考真题）I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonderlike Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.12．Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A．Foucault. B．Eric Weiner.C．Jostein Gaarder. D．A college teacher.13．Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A．To compare Weiner with them.B．To give examples of great works.C．To praise their writing skills.D．To help readers understand Weiner’s book.14．What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A．Its views on history are well-presented.B．Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C．It includes comments from readers.D．It leaves an open ending.15．What does the author think of Weiner’s book?A．Objective and plain.B．Daring and ambitious.C．Serious and hard to follow.D．Humorous and straightforward.（2023·全国·统考高考真题）What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.16．What do people usually think of British food?A．It is simple and plain. B．It is rich in nutrition.C．It lacks authentic tastes. D．It deserves a high reputation.17．Which best describes cookery programme on British TV?A．Authoritative. B．Creative. C．Profitable. D．Influential.18．Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A．20%. B．24%. C．25%. D．33%.19．What might the author continue talking about?A．The art of cooking in other countries. B．Male chefs on TV programmes.C．Table manners in the UK. D．Studies of big eaters.参考答案1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

B（2023秋·辽宁沈阳·高三校联考期末）At 22, I’d been working as a zookeeper at Perth Zoo for just over a year. I’d been working with crocodiles, but I’d always loved elephants. They were such intelligent animal s. So, as soon as the job came up to care for them, I jumped at the opportunity.The pair, Tricia and Tanya, both aged around 14, were wary (警惕的) of me at first. They even started roaring at me on the first night I locked them up in their enclosure (圈占地), and Tricia tried to pin me against a wall! But I’d spent long enough working with animals to know you should never show any weakness. “I’m not afraid of you two,” I told them in a loud voice. Over the following weeks, they started warming to me, so I intr oduced some games. I’d get them to run after me around the yard, screaming at the top of their lungs. I’d also hide from them in the blind spot directly behind their ears. Tricia turned out to be a real gentle giant. Soon every time I walked into the enclo sure, she’d be sniffing (嗅) me all over, flapping her ears and trying to pull me close with her trunk. We’d formed a close bond.It was hard saying goodbye when my wife and I moved to Darwin. “I’ll miss you,” I told them, rubbing their trunks. Years passed and I worked with a lot of different animals in wildlife parks. But I never forgot about Triciaand Tanya.When I turned 72, my family decided to book a breakfast with the elephants at Perth Zoo for a family celebration. “You wouldn’t believe it, but Tricia’s still there,” my brother-in-law told me. “She’ll be celebrating her 60th birthday!” More than four decades had passed since I worked with Tricia. I wondered if she’d remember me. I was excited when we left our home in Bakers Hill, W A, for the special breakfast. My brother-in-law had told them about our history, so Tricia’s keeper, Kirsty, invited me into the enclosure. I got teary when I saw her. “Happy birthday! Do you miss me?” I asked. I was overjoyed when Tricia started flapping her ears and snif fing me all over. It felt like no time had passed.Then Tricia started urinating (小便). “Now that’s a sure sign she remembers you,” Kirsty said, “When they urinate, they’re greeting you, so it’s pretty special to see that.”1．What’s the author’s attitude t owards the new job opportunity?A．Concerned. B．Hesitant. C．Unwilling. D．Cheerful.2．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．How their close relationship was formed.B．How they played the hide-and-seek game.C．How the pair tried to run after the author.D．How the author locked the pair in the enclosure.3．Why did the author feel like no time had passed?A．He had special breakfast at Peth Zoo.B．Tricia greeted him just like before.C．Kristy’s caring for Tricia seemed familiar.D．He celebrated his 72nd birthday with the elephants.4．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To share his lifelong bond with the elephant.B．To recall his bitter memories with the elephant.C．To remind people to be friendly with the elephant.D．To show his successful way of training the elephant.C（2023·山东淄博·统考一模）Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12. 5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的)，lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals. 5．Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?A．To illustrate the variety of food.B．To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.C．To describe the changes of living environment.D．To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.6．What caused pandas’ change in diet?A．The low-metabolic ability.B．The amino acids in meat.C．The Taslrl gene’s inactivation.D．The supplies of bamboo.7．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Seizing bamboo shoots.B．The low energy return.C．Developing more fingers.D．The vegetarian diet.8．Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on?A．The preference for bamboo.B．The evolutionary feature in eating.C．The unique lifestyle.D．The special appearance.（2023·重庆·高三重庆八中校考阶段练习）Have you ever been in a bathroom, dressing room or another private area with a mirror and had that feeling that someone is watching you? You can check to see if a mirror is transparent by observing how it is installed and using a few simple techniques to d etermine if there’s a wall behind it. ___9___Check out the lighting. For a two-way mirror to be effective, the light on the mirrored side needs to be 10 times brighter than the light on the other side. If the lighting is dimmer, it’s possible to see throu gh the glass to the observation area. Look around and determine whether the lighting seems extraordinarily bright. ___10___ ___11___Press your face up to the mirror and cup your hands around it, creating a dark tunnel to block out as much light as possible. When you do this, if the light in the observation room is at all brighter than the light on your side of the mirror, you should be able to see something through the glass.Sound it out. The sound of tapping a two-way mirror has also been described as bright or sharp as opposed to a thud (砰的一声) from an everyday mirror. Tap on the surface of the mirror with your knuckle (指节). ___12___An observation mirror will produce an open, hollow and echoing sound because there is an open space on the other side.___13___Then hold a flashlight to the mirror (it can be the “flashlight” on your smartphone). If it is a two-way mirror, the room on the other side will be illuminated and you’ll be able to see it.A．Turn off the lights.B．Try to look through the glass.C．Observe how the mirror is installed.D．If so, you might be looking at a two-way mirror.E．There are some accurate ways to tell if a mirror is two-way or not.F．A normal mirror will produce a dull, flat sound, since it’s placed in front of a wall.G．People standing on the other side of the wall can observe someone looking in the mirror.（2023·山东济宁·统考一模）STEM vs. STEAMSTEM is short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The term was coined by Judith Ramaley while a director at National Science Foundation in 2001. Since then, STEM-focused education has been extended to many countries beyond the United States. However, education is a constantly evolving game. ____14____ One of the latest philosophies gaining steam is adding an arts component to the STEM educational focus, thus, creating the STEM vs. STEAM debate.The believers in STEM education want the focus to remain on the core STEM principles. ____15____ Tasks involving product design encourage students to draw and create. Adding arts will take away from the original intention of focusing on the STEM disciplines.____16____ They argue that adding arts to STEM is a way to develop strong STEM students who think creatively. Several studies have shown that engaging students’ arts strength increases their motivation when it comes to STEM activities. ____17____ Furthermore, for kids who might be turned off from STEM subjects due to a dislike of numbers, highlighting the artistic component of lessons can reach out and draw them in.While they seem to be opposed, both sides of this argument may have the right idea. ____18____ Consider the growing field of computer animation, where you must have both artistic abilities and strong technology fields. Also, the most basic of all children’s toys, wooden blocks, are an incredible example of STEAM exploration. They bring design, geometry, and engineering concepts to our youngest learners, setting them up for a lifetime of creative thinking.A．The STEAMers disagree.B．Actually, science and arts are inseparable.C．It consistently introduces new theories and practices.D．Their idea is that there are already enough arts in their approach.E．Thus, good teachers are always learning to keep pace with updated knowledge.F．It also improves the probability of success in complicated tasks and challenges.G．They believe adding art makes the STEM courses accessible to more students.（2023·陕西咸阳·统考模拟预测）假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for self­defense.Martial arts are often referred to as either the soft ones or the hard ones. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent's force. Soft martial arts, such as tai chi, teach you to use your opponent's force to defend yourself. Soft styles allow you to use flowing movements and timing to avoid your opponent's attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself using force.Techniques involve blocking, posturing, powerful hitting and kicking. Hard martial arts techniques are more effective if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But did you know that its roots are derived from Fujian Province? In the 4th century, a community of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.In fact, Chinese influence in martial arts was not limited to kung fu. The very first Korean military training guidebook was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of troops. They adopted a training methodology (方法) from a Chinese military book called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general Qi Jiguang.4．Why did people invent martial arts?A．For keeping fit.B．For self­defense.C．For competition.D．For attacking others.5．Which is the character of soft martial arts?A．Using violence to attack others.B．Attacking your opponent's weakness.C．Using smooth action to defend yourself from damage.D．Defending yourself with powerful hitting and kicking.6．Who spread karate?A．The Chinese army.B．The Korean military.C．Japanese troops.D．Chinese migrants.7．Why did the Korean army adopt a training methodology from Ji Xiao Xin Shu?A．To train soldiers.B．To keep soldiers fit.C．To attend cultural activities.D．To show admiration for Qi Jiguang.C[2022·云南省第一次高三检测]Italy's cheap old homes continue to appeal to hundreds of interested buyers, among whom was Roy Patrick, a British who deals in antiques in Italy. Patrick bought an old schoolhouse in the mountain village of Carrega Ligure for $16，500. It's both an adventure and a joy.Patrick bought the property quite by accident. When told about the wonders of the village, he toured there to take a look and was instantly struck by the 1930s school building. “The house is very special and the view is unique—the way the sun goes down over the mountains, you'd say‘wow'. It's a fantastic wonderland，” says Patrick.The property was offloaded by the local government to boost the populations of communities in decline. Since the purchase, he's been visiting every two weeks and finds it has many charms. “Top of the list is the friendliness of the local residents, followed by the breathtaking views I get out of the windows looking across the valley，” he adds.Patrick's initial encounter with his new home was less than promising. He had to climb through a window to open up the building, which had been shut for decades and whose door was jammed, with the keys nowhere to be found.However, a later structural disaster turned into a positive story. When an unstable chimney collapsed due to a heavy snow, a neighbor volunteered to climb onto his roof to make it safe. The locals are so welcoming that they are ready to help newcomers.During the restoration needed to make the old school habitable, Patrick unexpectedly unearthed a great many treasures: dusty piles of old textbooks,inkwells, pupil registers and other historical items.Patrick has some advice for those with the thought of buying a house in Carrega Ligure: There is absolutely nothing, just great views, pure air and clean surroundings. There are no bars, supermarkets, or restaurants. A vehicle is essential to move around. However, Carrega Ligure does spring to life in the summer when vacationers arrive to relax. “There are nights when people throw a party with loud music，” says Patrick.“Otherwise it's just singing birds and total silence.”8．What led to Patrick's purchase of the old schoolhouse?A．The locals' friendly attitude.B．Its location and rising value.C．Its uniqueness and surroundings.D．The government's housing welfare.9．What was the government's intention of selling the property?A．To attract more settlers.B．To boost local tourism.C．To preserve village traditions.D．To reform the education system.10．What's one of Patrick's added bonuses of getting the house?A．Acquiring more personal space.B．Digging up some historical finds.C．Enjoying a more active social life.D．Getting free home decoration service.11．How does it feel most of the time living in Carrega Ligure?A．Quiet. B．Lively.C．Modern. D．Convenient.[答题区]阅读理解题型分类练(二)A语篇类型：应用文主题语境：人与社会——旅游广告——大英博物馆导览旅行1．答案与解析：B 理解具体信息。

2023年北京重点校高一（下）期中英语汇编阅读理解C篇一、阅读理解（2023春·北京·高一北京师大附中校考期中）I love my gas stove. There’s nothing quite like cooking over that beautiful blue flame, so quickly adjusted with a flick of a dial. But in recent years environmentalists have been warning that gas stoves are bad for the climate and also not great for our health. A new study this year has heightened health worries about noxious fumes (有毒烟尘) in our kitchens.Broadly speaking, there are two categories of concern regarding gas stove emissions. First, there is the unburned natural gas that can escape before the flame ignites or leak from a gas hook-up. This gas is more than 90 percent methane (甲烷). Second, there are the pollutants created by combustion (燃烧) when a burner is on, most notably nitrogen oxides (氧化氮), which can upset the lungs.The big surprise in the new study, conducted by environmental scientists at Stanford University, was the amount of unburned gas that leaks into kitchens when a stove is off. They found that more than three quarters of methane that escapes from a stove does so when it is not in use, most likely through imperfect pipe fittings. Only one out of 53 stoves measured for the study did not leak when turned off, says Rob Jackson, senior author of the study. Methane is not toxic, but it is a powerful greenhouse gas. With 40 million gas stoves across the country, Jackson and his co-authors estimate that the heat-trapping potential of the methane they discharge annually is equal to the carbon dioxide released by half a million gas-powered cars.The Stanford study also looked at the amount of nitrogen oxides produced when using the stoves. In a matter of minutes, families who do not use their exhaust hoods(排气罩)and who have small, poorly aired kitchens can go beyond the Environmental Protection Agency’s outdoor exposure limit for nitrogen dioxide of 100 parts per billion(ppb)per hour. Even short exposures to excess nitrogen dioxide can worsen symptoms in people with respiratory conditions (呼吸系统疾病). And there is considerable evidence that long-term exposure raises the risk of developing asthma (哮喘).What is the average home cook to make of all this? They might take an idea from Michanowicz, a senior scientist at PSE Healthy Energy, who bought an induction burner and does much of his cooking on that $100 item. Jackson, for his part, is putting his money where his research is: “I’m replacing a perfectly good gas stove” with an induction stove. He would like governments to provide motivations for people to switch to electric ranges.

Emergency teams have little time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a person alive fall dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.New insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical systems theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,” says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications.In today’s rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecasting are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are often inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing a loss of precious time.Haller’s research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the ocean’s surface should gather along a few special curves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves can’t be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sensitive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident.In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAP-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Martha’s Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only algorithm that consistently found the right location,” says Haller.“Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses: “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.”5．In a search and rescue operation, .A．the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hoursB．the use of dynamics leads to the wrong locationC．weather conditions are a determining factorD．changing currents present a challenge6．What is the distinct feature of the new algorithm?A．It relies on ocean dynamics.B．It tracks the path of the curves.C．It stops the uncertainties of the accident.D．It figures out how tides change over time.7．Paragraph 5 mainly talks about .A．the collection of data B．the testing of the algorithmC．the identification of the TRAPs D．the cooperation of two research teams8．What is the best title for the passage?A．Why Success Rates of Rescue Operations have FallenB．Why Algorithms are Popular in Rescue OperationsC．How Mathematics Can Save Lives at SeaD．How Coastal Waters Affect Saving Lives（2023春·北京·高一人大附中校考期中）In a natural disaster—a hurricane, flood, volcanic eruption, or other catastrophes—minutes and even seconds of warming can make the difference between life and death. Because of this, scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen. They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained.On September 29, 1998, Hurricane Georges made landfall in Bilxi, Mississippi, after damaging Haiti, Dominic Repubic, PueroRico, and several islands of the Caribbean badly with per hour. Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States, although hundreds died in the Caribbean.This was a very different outcome from 1900, when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston, Texas, killing at east 6,000 people.Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century-residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching, while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance, allowing for extensive safety precautions.At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning, some residents of New Orleans, Louisiana were less satisfied.A day before Georges made landfall, forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans. Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level, the city is at risk for flooding. Emergency management officials must begin evacuations well before a storm strikes. But evacuation costs money: businesses close, tourists leave, and citizens take precautionary measures.The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city’s preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million. After Georges missed New Orleans, some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs.The different views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters. Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions.9．What is the purpose of disaster prediction according to the passage?A．To identify the cause of disasters.B．To save people’s lives and property.C．To prevent natural disasters from happening.D．To apply advanced technology to disaster prediction.10．The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because ________ .A．their preparations were made in vainB．the hurricane warning arrived rather lateC．the forecast hurricane did not hit the cityD．they suffered from a heavy hurricane attack11．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The different ways of disaster prediction.B．Technological advances in disaster prediction.C．The benefits and preparations of disaster prediction.D．The importance and uncertainty of disaster prediction.（2023春·北京丰台·高一统考期中）Elephant Transit HomeIn both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats (栖息地). People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called the Elephant Transit Home (ETH).Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and nurture baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. As many as possible are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd (象群).A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. Then the elephants are allowed to walk around, eating the grass and forming a herd. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connection with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.The ETH is considered one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.12．What does the underlined word “nurture” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Set free.B．Relate to.C．Focus on.D．Care for.13．What do we know about the ETH?A．It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.B．It receives about $125,000 each year.C．It helps to keep baby elephants safe.D．It protects 30 elephants every year.14．Why do the workers reduce human connection with the elephants?A．To study them better in a natural environment.B．To help them make it in the wild as a herd.C．To provide them with more living space.D．To train them to stay away from hunters. 15．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To introduce an animal protection site.B．To show the ways of wildlife protection.C．To explain the threat baby elephants face.D．To persuade the readers to protect elephants.参考答案1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D【导语】本文是一篇说明文。
