We changed our daily routines,our way of living,and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.

(2023山东淄博一模) My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance,a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world. We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world,but we tried our luck,sent a request,and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada,so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.

高三高考英语阅读理解复习试题(2)13(2014届山东省淄博第五中学高三第一次质检)Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another manager, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.And, what I found out during this interview, left me deep in thought. As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new work day start.I decided to accept her transfer to my unit. What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had everworked with. Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility. I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could. It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like.37.What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph?A. He is a manager in the company.B. He doesn't like his receptionist.C. He likes to compete with others.D. He wants to find another position.38.After hearing his colleague's description of Maria, the writer thought that Maria_______.A. attempted to settle the issuesB. was a problem to her bossC. shouldn't stay in the companyD. could get on well with others39.Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?A. Her previous job was not suitable for her.B. She had difficulty responding to her manager.C. Her boss didn't inspire her working enthusiasm.D. Her boss showed no trust in her ability.40.The writer accepted Maria's transfer to unit probably because he thought that________.A. she was a ruined employeeB. she would need his protectionC. she would turn out to be a good employeeD. she was a shy and frightened employee41.The writer probably believes that a good boss should________.A. praise and award his employees a lotB. respect, praise and encourage his employeesC. greet his employees and give them much workD. always give his employees guidance in working【文章大意】作者在文中讲述了自己经历的一件事。

2019高考英语福州：阅读理解练习（2）及解析或解析【3】Some of the largest，longest，and most beautiful bridges inthe world are suspension bridges. Although suspension bridgeslook impressively complicated，their design is relativelysimple.Giant cables are strung between two towers that areanchored (固定) to land on either side of a waterway or land gorge.The road hangs from the giant cables by suspension cables，orsuspenders. Suspenders are made by weaving together thousands of thick steel strands.Even though these superstructures are built to last，many of American suspension bridges are getting old.The Golden Gate Bridge is slightly more than 70 years old.The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City celebrated its 125th birthday in 2017. Many of these superstructures are in need of super repairs.Engineers at Columbia University in New York City have set out to create a way to detect the lifespan of a suspension cable electronically.They are testing a system in which tiny sensors are embedded (嵌入) inside cable strands to monitor a suspender’s condition around the clock.Engineer Raimondo Betti and his team at Columbia built a lab last December.They will use heat lamps to simulate the temperature changes a suspender would have to endure through changing seasons.They will shower the test cable with water and road salt to see how it withstands rain and snow conditions. In addition to blasting the suspender with severe weather conditions,the engineers are also subjecting the cable to the same kind of weight of a suspender on a high­traffic bridge would have to bear.The team will record data from the sensors over the next six months.After that，they will open the cable and see the extent to which the data they’ve recorded matches the actual damage to the cable.Betti says more accurate information on cable corrosion will be of great use to cities and states. Bridge owners will be able to make more informed decisions on maintenance and repair plans for bridges.1、Which of the following could be the image of the bridge described in the passage?2、In the testing system，the engineers are trying to .A、create real­world conditions that are as aggressive as the ones out thereB、replace old suspenders with new onesC、break the suspender apart to see the inside of itD、put as much weight as possible that the bridge can bear3、Engineers at Columbia University in New York City use new technology to .A、design a new suspension bridgeB、see the lifespan of big suspension bridgesC、prevent suspension bridges from corrosionD、solve the traffic delays caused by bridge maintenance4、Many suspension bridges in America are in need of super repairs because

heavy traffic and severe weather5、The new sensor system could let engineers know .A、how to solve traffic problemsB、which bridge is designed bestC、when the bridge repair is necessaryD、what suspension bridges mean to a city参考答案1、D2、A3、B4、D5、C**********************************************************结束【3】Born in a fishing village in Japan，Fujiyama,25，recalls achildhood dominated by health

western United States. Lately, however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming more noticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reported in the suburbs(郊区)of Boston, Philadelphis, and Chicago.It seems certain that these " kings of the mountains"are moving. Why? Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area.

"People tendto create to many barriers(障碍), such as buidings, fences, roads, and noise.As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources'(水源), these barriers get in their way."The sightings have made people increasingly watchful. Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The buildingof new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.Because many people are concerned, about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlined some ways they can a- void attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outsider properly cvare for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another."To be fair, "says the expert.

江苏省徐州市2015英语阅读理解训练（2）及答案（高考一轮）AChinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.MianziThe idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.GuanxiThroughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.KeqiKeqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothingof embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.1. In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.A. relationships between peopleB. influences upon othersC. dependence on othersD. kindness to others2. The underlined word “demean” in the first paragraph means make people _____.A. respectfulB. happyC. shamefulD. weak3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person.B.It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner.C. It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered.D. It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people.4. Which of the following proverbs has the same meaning as the underlined sentence “Do in Rome as Rome does.”?A. Caution is the parent of safety.B. Many hands make light work.C. There’s no smoke without fire.D. If you are elsewhere, live as they do there.【参考答案】1—4、ACBD阅读理解---------C.Affordable Boutique Hotels in New York CityBy STEPHEN HEYMAN June 20, 2010A new breed of hotels is trying to stand out from the masses with designer details, memorable allowances and prices around $250 a night.Welcome to Boutique Hotel.To Get Those Summer Tickets in New York, StrategizeBy FELICIA R.

(The Most Important of All Human Qualities is a Sense of Humor)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, ‘Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.’A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take thewind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors att ack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too.

As the world starts to become increasingly aware of the dirty carbon footprint left behind by airplane travel,could it be time to bring back to the air ship?Hybrid Air vehicle,a UK-based company,has recently displayed a new concept design of their around100-passenger air-ships that hopes to revolutionize city tripping,all while reducing carbon emissions(排放).The images of the flashy inside parts are just an ambitious plan for the moment,but the company argued the air ship would be well-suited to city-to-city trips.A journey by air ship would take slightly longer than one by airplane.For example,a flight from Liverpool to Belfast across the Irish Sea is approximately4 hours and24minutes,check-in and security time included,while the air ship will take 5hours and20minutes in theory.However,the payoff comes in the amount of carbon dioxide released—67.75kilograms(149.36pounds)of carbon emissions per passenger by plane,compared to4.75kilograms(10,47pounds)per passenger by air ship.The company claims their standard Airlander10model can now complete journeys with a total of a75percent reduction in emissions compared to conventional aircrafts.They eventually hope to introduce a hybrid-electric(混合电能的)model by 2025,which would reduce emissions by90percent,then a totally electric model by 2030that would be a zero emissions aircraft.In a bid to attract air travel enthusiasts,the company also hopes to make the experience more pleasurable than the typical journey of sticky seats and minimal leg room.“For many decades flying from A to B has meant sitting in a metal tube with tiny windows—a necessity but not always a pleasure.On Airlander,the whole experience is pleasant,even enjoyable,”George Land,Commercial Business Development Director at Hybrid Air vehicle,said in a recent statement.1．What is the new air ship designed for?A．Trips with fewer passengers.B．Reducing the use of carbon.C．Traveling specially between cities.D．The lowest cost of trips for passengers.2．Why does the author list the figures in paragraph2?A．To highlight the speed of the airplane.B．To stress the disadvantages of the new airship.C．To indicate the potential market of the new airshipD．To present the positive effect of the new air ship on the environment. 3．What is the plan of the company for the new air ship?A．Producing a fully electric model by2030.B．Producing a hybrid-electric model by2030.C．Completing the standard Airlander10model by2025.D．Putting the standard Airlander la model into service by2025.4．What does George Land think of the traditional airplane?A．It's much safe B．Its space is too narrow,C．Its seats are too hard.D．Its atmosphere is more pleasant.二、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

2023高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案1. 阅读理解题Passage 1In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards living a minimalist lifestyle. Many people are seeking to simplify their lives by reducing clutter and focusing on the essentials. Minimalism is not just about getting rid of physical possessions, but also about decluttering our minds and reducing stress.One benefit of minimalism is that it allows us to save money.

Minimalism can also help us become more environmentally friendly, as we consume less and waste less.Another advantage of minimalism is increased productivity. With fewer distractions and less clutter, we can better focus on our goals and priorities. Minimalism encourages us to live with intention and purpose, leading to greater productivity and fulfillment in our lives.Additionally, minimalism promotes better mental health. Possessions can often weigh us down and cause stress and anxiety. By simplifying our lives, we can experience a sense of freedom and peace of mind. Minimalism encourages mindfulness and self-reflection, allowing us to better understand ourselves and what truly brings us happiness.In conclusion, living a minimalist lifestyle offers numerous benefits, including saving money, increasing productivity, and promoting bettermental health. By decluttering our lives, both physically and mentally, we can create a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.Passage 2Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing the way we live and work. While there are undeniable advantages to the advancements in technology, there are also concerns about its impact on society and individuals.One of the main benefits of technology is its ability to connect people from different parts of the world. Through social media and communication platforms, we can easily stay in touch with friends and family, regardless of distance. Technology has also opened up new opportunities for education and learning, with online courses and resources available at our fingertips.However, there are drawbacks to excessive reliance on technology. Many people today spend excessive amounts of time on their smartphones or computers, leading to decreased physical activity and social interaction. This sedentary lifestyle can have negative effects on our health, including increased risk of obesity and mental health issues such as loneliness and depression.Furthermore, technology has also raised concerns about privacy and security. With the increase in data breaches and online threats, there is a growing need for protection and regulation. It is important for individuals and society as a whole to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions when using technology.In conclusion, while technology brings numerous benefits, there are also drawbacks to consider. It is important to find a balance between embracing technological advancements and being mindful of the impact they have on our lives and society.2. 阅读理解答案Passage 11.

There was a world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and set out to take a walk in the snow with my drone(无人机).When I wandered in the park near my home, I saw the frozen river lying there peacefully. Then, a young girl came into my sight. She ran happily, followed by her mom from a distance. Suddenly, she was so excited that she accidentally rushed to the ice on the river.

Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.5．What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation?A．She was on a holiday in the mountain.B．She was looking after her students in school.C．She was helping her students with their homework assignment.D．She was visiting her rural students in remote areas.6．What do we know about Tan Yeting?A．Her parents deserted her brother and her.

Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had reject ed his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusementparks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.21．What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator?A．It pushed medical science forward. B．It was the most famous sideshow.C．It saved many premature babies.

He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under.

The sky-high poverty and crime rates are destructive for residents—especially for young people. Despite the unfavorable situation, there is a spirit of survival and hope for people living in Baton Rouge. “We choose to live by joy and community more than look at horrible issues and challenges tha t sometimes feel too big for us to take on,” said Dustin La Font, whose nonprofit, Front Yard Bikes, supports hundreds of students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, every year as they pedal towards a brighter future.At Front Yard Bikes, students work to build their own bicycle, learning skills like mechanics, welding and cycling safety, while receiving mentoring, academic support, and job training opportunities.“We had to put a ton of energy and love into it,’’ La Font said. “Students learned to saw, drill, meas ure, cut. They learned to paint, design, and plan. And they built their own program from scratch. Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their intrinsic worth as they learn, grow, and build.”Many kids now gather after sc hool in this safe place to ride, play, and help out in the garden. “Pretty much any kid can find a place here to belong,” La Font said. “For the fact that they built their park, there’s ownership over it.

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life，’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform，” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his co­star in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again，” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4­year­old son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me，” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A．Moved and grateful.B．Inspired but worried.C．Curious but doubtful.D．Surprised and excited.5．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B．He tried to contact the stranger.C．He trained hard to become an actor.D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.6．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A．To get personal popularity.B．To take photos with them.C．To inspire them to do good deeds.D．To help them know more about his show.7．What is the best title for the text?A．An Act of Kindness Goes FarB．Hard Work Always Pays OffC．Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD．A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from single­origin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnan­sourced coffee could expose customers to the coffee­producing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before，” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one，” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3，000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and high­grade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for China­grown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive how­to events. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one's own kitchen with a pour­over system and she hopes it's only a matter of time before home specialty coffee enthusiasts catch on too.8．What's a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have limited producing areas.C．They have a mild taste.D．They are used for flavored coffee.9．Wha t does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Output. B．Increase.C．Option. D．Investment.10．What does Sherry Gao expect to do in future?A．Offer community members coffee for free.B．Buy a pour­over system for her shop.C．Teach people to make Chinese coffee at home.D．Keep up with home specialty coffee fans.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment.

But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1，000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Co­first author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12．How is the new device different from other wearables?A．It is cost­effective.B．It is harmless to skin.C．It required no exercise.D．It produced electricity.13．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Changes into a gas.B．Freezes in the air.C．Drops to the ground.D．Becomes bigger in amount.14．What is the disadvantage of the device?A．It is extremely small in size.B．It is very difficult to operate.C．It has a very limited power capacity.D．It relies much on temperature changes.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Sweats FingertipsB．Power from FingertipsC．An Electrical ConductorD．A Rechargeable Device[答题区]阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解"When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don't even have to be the target of the had behavior," stated a researcher.The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to complete online surveys over a 10-day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up; and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day.Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language.Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants completed an evaluation that measured their self-confidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.Consequently, one of the researchers recommended that companies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (强化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness.（1）What is Paragraph 1 intended to show?A. The popularity of rudeness.B. A regular cause of rudeness.C. A new finding about rudeness.D. The common disadvantage of rudeness.（2）Why are the short videos played for the participants?A. To make them spread rudeness.B. To educate them on workplace interaction.C. To expose them to various aspects of rudeness.D. To teach them how to use right body languages.（3）What is the probable effect of watching the videos on some participants?A. Being unwilling to work.B. Poor ability to do their work.C. Serious emotional sufferings.D. Less interaction with others.（4）Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos?A.People positive and kind to themselves.B.People keeping calm in stressful situations.C.People owning confidence in others' ability.D.People participating in the rudeness experiment.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明，关于“无礼”行为作为一种“传染性”行为是可以避免的。

2022高考英语（遵义市）阅读理解（2）（解析）故事记叙型阅读明白得文化教育类---[2020·浙江卷]Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that th is is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult(侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution(解决)：stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy(策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are bearing. This doesn't mean tryingto figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these：Ho w did this start?What do I really w ant?What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learnin g to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.50. This article is mainly about ________.A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts51. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight52. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D.

2022高考英语二轮：人生百味类阅读理解（2）练习及答案2022高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity (亲密关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is anold proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, become our constant companions andcomforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.【小题1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_____.A．it changes over the past of timeB．it contains all kinds of knowledgeC．it doesn’t betray us when we are in troubleD．it comforts us in youth and instructs us in age【小题2】“Love me, love my book” in paragraph 3 probably means _______?A．If you love me, you must reading books.B．The book can be a bond between friends.C．I love books as much I love friends.D．If you love the author, you will love his books.【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Time can tell whether a literature is good or bad.B．All books are our constant companions and comforters.C．Temples, statues and books cannot stand the test of time.D．The world of a man’s thoughts is what his life is all about.【小题4】The best title for this passage can be.A．Reading BooksB．A Good BookC．Our Best FriendD．Companionship of Books2022高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类I may not be the wisest person on this planet．but I will tell you a little secret to happiness：Help other，，and live life．It is that simple．Just help a friend study for a test，or volunteer at a nursing home ．I learned this after a long，hard search．I was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had died．Then I started a six-week volunteering ata nursing home all day every Saturday．My routine was to serve the meal and clean up．After that，I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do．One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all right．In the room I found a boy ofeight sitting in his bed watching a movie．I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old．He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him．He motioned for me to sit down．I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness．We started to talk，and I found out that his family rarely visited，and all he did ever7 day was watch TV．I wanted to cry for him，and for my lost friend．As we talked，he had a smile on his face，and I asked him why．"The entire two hours I've been here you've never lost that smile．With this horrible disease，how do you still manage to stay happy？"He thought for a moment，and then said that too many people are dead even before they die．They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for．The boy said that he would not be like that．He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise．He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun．He also said that he has hope．"Too many people haven't seen much of that around here，" he said，" Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone．"I don’t know what happened to him．I assume he passed away，but his lesson lives on．I now wake up and live each day to the fullest．The key to life is not money or fame，but the lessons we learn from it．【小题1】The nursing home in the passage is mainly for_______A．the elderly B．the homelessC．the disabled D．the abandoned【小题2】The boy stayed happy mainly due to_______．A．wonderful TV programsB．his positive attitudeC．good medical conditionD．others' encouragement【小题3】The writer participated in the volunteering job in order to_______．A．find out the secretB．search for helpC．enrich experiencesD．get out of sadness【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage？A．A Lesson in HopeB．The Life of a Sick BoyC．A Voluntary JobD．The Meaning of Life阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
