2021-2022学年高二英语下学期暑假巩固练习7 阅读理解（阅读选项+七选五）一、阅读理解Text 01As I drove along the road, small car flew across the center divider from the opposite direction and crashed into my car head-on. I fell unconscious and was awakened by the ringing of my mobile phone.I was brought to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital bleeding on from my nose, mouth and legs. But the hospital staff was too busy to attend to me, so I called a friend to tell him about the accident. Some friends arrived very soon and sent me to a private hospital nearby. I saw my injured feet hanging from my body, blue and lifeless, and I begged the doctors to save them at all cost. They calmly promised to do their best.The doctors made it. After I was discharged, I was given ten months medical leave. My heart sank, knowing that it meant I, a big man, couldn't work. How was I going to support my 65-year-old mother and other family members? I felt completely helpless, but a la of unexpected blessings came my way. When I was recovering at home, friends and relatives helped me with my banking, insurance or simply came to cheer me up.When the casts（石膏）were removed, I did not let the sight of my weak legs discourage me. I worked hard at my physiotherapy（物理疗法）with only one aim. After eight months, I was walking without the aid of a walking stick. Oh February the following year, I returned to my job again. Today, after eight years, I have travelled to many counties as a tour leader.The accident makes me realize how lives can change in a second. I value life more, not only of my own but also of everyone I know, and I will always try to help when I know of someone in trouble.1. What made the author come back to life in the traffic accident?A.

We swim into it, live near it, build besideit, and even imagine about living under the sea. For much of our history, wehave turned to “hard engineering” to control the marine environment and manage its influence on us. We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these eff orts seem to fail, because we’ve not been thinking about design of structures with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade, which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night contuse speciessuch as turtles. That’s why blue engine ering comes in.Johnson, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering” —the marine version of the “green engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete junglewith plant life.Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles similar tothe natural structures found on rocky shores with 3D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweeds and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbors around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each workingwith their own unique marine life.It’s a far cry from the days when huge numbers of old tyres were throwninto the sea to build “artificial reefs”. Those early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world.1. What do we know about “hard engineering”?A. It has improved sea environment.B. It controls the influence of sea well.C. It has failed to achieve its purpose.D. It makes living under the sea possible.2. What does the underlined word “contuse” i n Paragraph 1 mean?A. Injure.B. Heat.C. Defend.D. Involve.3. Which of the following is a form of “blue engineering”?A. Growing plant life on concrete buildings.B. Building rocky shores with 3D printers.C. Creating an artificial reef with old tyres.D. Building structures benefiting sea creatures.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Two ways of sea engineering.B. The green engineering movement.C. Construction of artificial reefs.D. Research on blue engineering.Text 03In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth. Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the terrifying scenes in films such as The Day After Tomorrow happen in real life? What is our plan B for Earth?One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them. The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment less hostile than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before.Besides, more governments are making efforts to educate the public on the Red Planet.There is no doubt that humankind is drawn towards Mars. However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but as proved by the Biosphere 2 experiment, not impossible. As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was not a success, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet.For now, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take much better care of our own. Right now, it's the only one we have!1. What was the biggest threat to humans in the 1960s and 1970s?A. Human race themselves.B. All advanced life forms.C. Nuclear missiles.D. Environmental problems.2. Why is Mars so attractive to scientists?A. It's closest to the earth.B. It has relatively appropriate living conditions.C. It has drawn the public's attention in recent years.D. It has a more hostile environment.3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Humans have visited Mars.B. The Biosphere 2 experiment proved to be valueless.C. Humans will have to go and live on another planet.D. Our Plan A includes developing renewable energy resources.4. From which magazine would the passage probably be taken?A. The Traveler.B. Environmental Concerns.C. All About Space.D. Biology for Fun.Text 04Next time you go on holiday, it's going to feel pretty different. You may have to wear a face mask. And that means getting your point across in an unfamiliar language —all while keeping your mouth covered —could become a bit of a problem.That's where the C-mask, by Japanese company Donut Robotics, comes in. It's a smart, Internet-connected mouth covering that can ma ke calls, raise the wearer’s voice, and most helpfully for travelers, translate conversations into eight different languages.If need be, you simply place it over a standard face mask and connect it via Bluetooth to a smartphone. A special app will then allow you to record live conversations, turn them into text and translate them into English, Chinese, French, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish or Vietnamese (currently only from Japanese) —making it easy to understand what people are saying. It won't actually speak the translated phrases for you, but it does have a built-in amplifier（扩音器）to help you make yourself heard.“We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used what we've researched to create a product that responds to how COVID-19 has r eshaped society,” Donut's CEO recently told reporters. The firm has already raised more than 28 million yen via crowdfunding to develop the product, which will go on sale for 3 ,980 yen in Japan.There are all manner of fashionable, eco-friendly masks you can now get your hands on — check out these in London, Singapore and Barcelona. But in creating an affordable, high-tech mask, Donut could well be on to something.1. The C-mask is developed to _________A. seek fashion.B. reshape society.C. replace cellphones.D. promote communication.2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. How the C-mask speaks.B. How the C-mask works.C. What advantages the C-mask brings.D. What languages the C-mask translates.3. What does the underlined phrase “be on to something” in the last paragraph mean?A. take a look.B. earn a living.C. make a difference.D. issue a warning.4. In which column of a website do we probably read this text?A. Health.B. Tourism.C. Fashion.D. Technology.二、七选五Text 01Any art or skill is possessed by those who have formed the habit of operating according to its rules. This is the way the artist in any field differs from those who lack his skill.Now there is no other way of forming a habit than by operating. That is what it means to say one learns to do by doing. The difference between your activity before and after you have formed a habit is a difference in readiness. _____1_____ That is what it means to say practice makes perfect. You do something as if you were born to it, as if the activity were as natural to you as walking or eating. _____2_____ Knowing the rules of an art is not the same as having the habit. When we speak of a man as skilled in any way, we do not mean that he knows the rules of making or doing something, but that he possesses the habit of doing it. _____3_____ You cannot follow rules you do not know. Nor can you acquire an artistic habit without following rules. The art as something that can be taught consists of rules to be followed in operation. The art as something learned and possessed consists of the habit that results from operating according to the rules._____4_____ People point to a highly original painter or sculptor and say, “He isn’t following rules. He’s doing something entirely original, something that has never been done before.” But they fail to see what rules the a rtist follows. There are no final, unbreakable rules for making a painting. _____5_____ Those rules the painter must have followed, or else he could not have made the thing he has made. No matter how original his final production is, no matter how little it seems toobey the rules of art, he must be skilled to produce it.A. After practice, you can do the same thing much better.B. That is what it means to say that habit is second nature.C. But there are rules for mixing paints and applying them.D. Each separate act requires your full attention while you are doing it.E. Of course, it is true that knowing the rules is a condition of getting the skill.F. Like any skill worth mastering, a good habit requires time and dedication to develop.G. Incidentally, not everyone understands that being an artist lies in operating according to rules.Text 02The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s. The technique uses a timer to divide your work into 25-minute sessions called “pomodori.”_____1_____ When you have completed four pomodori, it's time for a longer break of 20 to 30 minutes. It's simple and easy to use. Follow the steps below to start using it.●Check your schedule. Your first step is to check your schedule. _____2_____ Estimate how long each task should take you, in terms of the number of pomodori you will need to complete it.●Set your timer. Before you start, make sure that you have everything you need. Set your timer for the work period you've settled on.●Take a short break. When your timer goes off, take a five-minute break.You should do this even if you're busy, because these breaks are your time to rest and “recharge your batteries.”_____3_____ The Pomodoro approach works by maintaining your energy, so that you don't need to work on tasks when your concentration levels are low.●_____4_____ When your break is over, reset your timer for the next session and continue your work. When you've completed four pomodori, take a 20-to 30-minute break. Use it to go for a walk, have lunch, read a book... anything, so long as it takes you away from your desk for a while and clears your mind.Remember, it is important to listen to your body. If your mind starts to wander or you start to feel tired, don't push through to the end of the session. _____5_____ It may be that three pomodori followed by a 20-minute break suits you best, or that five sessions followed by a 30-minute break is better.A. You might want to experiment with this.B. You can use whatever sort of timer you like.C. After each session, you take a five-minute break.D. Irregular short breaks help to keep you focused and energetic.E. Continue your work sessions and take a longer break.F. Cirillo argues that energy levels are far more important than time.G. Look at your to-do list and think about what you need to do today.Text 03Be on time. It's a simple command, and one you've probably heard since you were a child. _____1_____ But, as an adult, if you're habitually late, you run the risk of ruining your professional reputation-no matter how smart, competent, or capable you might be. _____2_____ Here are some reasons why it definitely does —along with my tips for making punctuality a priority.It Shows You CareWe live in an extraordinarily busy world. We schedule meetings and appointments back-to-back, constantly surrounded by phone calls, emails, and texts that need to be answered “immediately.” Getting to a meeting or appointment on time shows that it's important to you, and something for which you've planned. _____3_____ It Shows You're ResponsibleYour co-workers, clients, and partners want to know that they can trust you to get the job done-and being punctual is an easy way to demonstrate that you can. _____4_____ Conversely, flying down the hallway, showing up breathless to a meeting, then hurrying for your papers and notes gives an impression of chaos and disorder-not exactly the message you want to send.It Reduces StressYou know how stressful being late can be. But constantly rushing and scramblingto catch up not only makes you feel being in a panic —_____5_____ Making sure that you show up on time prevents all that anxiety in the first place (yours and theirs!). Instead of panicking about the clock, you can focus your attention on what really matters — your job.A. Being late can cost you friends.B. And, of course, one you've likely ignored before.C. it also makes everyone around you anxious and uncomfortable.D. it also makes you earn a reputation of being someone others can count on.E. It indicates that you're organized, responsible, and in control of your time.F. If you think punctuality doesn't matter, think again.G. Being late, however, sends the message that your time is more valuable than everyone else's.Text 04I didn’t like dealing with lines a nd angles in math class. _____1_____ Take advantage of lines, shapes, and angles when reviewing your garden ideas and laying out your yard to add drama and impact.Relying on artistic principles for landscape design, line is one of the most important and useful of all design elements. _____2_____ Think about the distant horizon the line created when a lawn ends and flower borders begin. A side walk, a driveway, or a fence is a clear and readily accessible line in the landscape. As you plan and design your garden, always consider the line created by whatever you are adding.There are four main ways to describe lines: curved (弧形的), straight, horizontal, and vertical. _____3_____ Curved lines shape informal garden beds and add interest to pathways. Straight lines inspire a sense of order and neatness that is more formal. Calming horizontal lines create a sense of stability. Think of oceans and how its wide expanse meets the sky, creating an acknowledged sense of peacefulness and majesty (壮观). Vertical lines project a sense of strength and movement._____4_____ Lines going away from you on the ground draw you forward. Horizontallines on the ground slow you down. Vertical lines lead the eye up and out of the garden. Curving lines take the eye on an interesting journey. _____5_____ It is up to you to know where the lines will lead you and what you will see when you get there.A. All lines are desirable.B. Everything in the garden involves line.C. However, I love using them when thinking about landscape ideas.D. None is more important than the others — each has different effects.E. No matter which types of line you use, be aware that lines lead the eyes.F. But you should learn to use them while thinking about your garden design.G. Using similar landscape features and repeating plants pulls the eye around the garden.参考答案一、阅读理解【答案】1-4 ADCA【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解By analyzing the fossilized teeth of some of our most ancient ancestors, a team of scientists led by the universities of Bristol (UK) and Lyon (France) have discovered that the first humans significantly breastfed their infants (婴儿) for longer periods than their contemporary relatives.The results, published in the journal Science Advances, provide a first insight into the practice of weaning (断奶)that remain otherwise unseen in the fossil record.The team sampled minute amounts from nearly 40 fossilized teeth of our South African fossil relatives, early Homo, Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus. They measured the proportions of their stable calcium isotopes (同位素）in the tooth enamel(牙釉质), which are a function of the mother milk intake by infants. They show that early Homo offspring(后代) was breastfed in significant proportions until the age of around three to four years, which likely played a role in the apparition of traits that are specific to human lineage(血统), such as the brain development.In contrast, infants of Paranthropus robustus, that became extinct around one million years ago and were a more robust species in terms of dental anatomy, as well as infants of Australopithecus africanus, stopped drinking sizeable proportions of mother milk in the course of the first months of life.These differences in nursing behaviors likely come with major changes in the social structures of groups as well as the time between the birth of one child and the birth of the next.One of the study's lead authors, Dr Theo Tacail said: "The practice of weaning -- the duration of breastfeeding, age at non-milk food introduction and the age at cessation of suckling -- differs among the modern members of the hominid family which includes humans and modern great apes: orangutan, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos.The development of such behavioral differences likely played major roles in the evolution of the members of human lineage, being associated for instance with size and structure of social groups, brain development.However, getting insights into these behavioral changes from fossils that are millions of years old is a challenge and, so far, little evidence allow discussing nursing practices in these fossil species.The findings stress the need for further exploration of calcium stables isotopes compositions in the fossil record in order to understand the co-evolution of weaning practices with other traits such as brain size or social behaviors."/first-human-ancestors-breastfed-for-longer-than-contemporary-relatives/https:///releases/2019/08/190829115427.htm（1）What do we know the findings of the team?A. It takes the lead in focusing on Practice weaning.B. It has disclosed the link between the weaning practice and other traits.C. It is evident that nursing practice is associated with behavioral changes.D. It's contemporary humans that spend more time breastfeeding their infants.（2）What does the underlined phrase "such behavioral differences" in Paragraph 7 most probably refer to?A. Differences in the calcium isotope in the teeth.B. Differences in the social structure of groups.C. Differences in the practice of weaning.D. Differences in the change of behaviors.（3）What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The evolution of human lineage.B. The possible influence of nursing behaviors.C. The exploration of compositions in the fossil.D. The function of mother milk at the age of infants.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，通过对祖先牙齿化石的研究，科学家们发现第一批用母乳喂养婴儿的人类比同时代的其他的近亲在时间上要长很多，而这种育幼差异可能在人类进化中扮演了重要角色，比如大脑发育和社会群体方面。

White, shiny, plastic and decorated with daisies, the basket seemed so appealing and I knew I had to have it.“Mom, please can I get it? I'll do extra chores for as long as you say. I'll do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please？”“You know，” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up, you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it'll be gone！”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“For that long? He can't hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please？”“There might be another choice，” she said. My mother bought the beautifulbasket and put it safely out of reach in some hiding place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing nest egg earned by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering milk around the ne ighborhood). And then, weeks later maybe, I counted, re­counted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon.Days later, the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I'd played with appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike. I rode my bike fast home to tell my mother about this disaster, this horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life: “Honey, your basket is extra­special，” Mom said, gently wiping away m y hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”( )26. In Paragraph 1, the writer shows a sense of ________．A. lonelinessB. thankfulnessC. helplessnessD. cleverness( )27. The writer finally got the basket she desired by ________．A. working and savingB. crying and beggingC. waiting and sharingD. borrowing and returningBThere are many weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports.The Ultimate Test between Man and HorseThis indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be manyobstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges. The person to win would have to finish the race without losing his female partner in the course of overcoming the obstacles even for once. This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your feet.( )28. Which sport requires couples to participate?A. The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse.B. Love Locked Race.C. Toe sport.D. The Mud Pit Belly Flop.( )29. Which statement shows the popularity of the Toe Sport?A. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.B. The locals took this sport with great enjoyment.C. It has a World Toe Wrestling Competition.D. Even kids are fond of the sport.( )30. What kind of people are likely to take part in the Ultimate Test between Man and Horse?A. People with agility and strength.B. People with companions.C. Marathon runners.D. Horse riders.四、任务型阅读Changes That Will Help You Get More Done Than Ever Before Win tomorrow today. All it takes is setting aside five minutes every evening before you end your work to establish the one goal you will accomplish tomorrow. Sometimes, the hardest part of getting things done is deciding which thing to work on first. If this decision making has to happen first thing in the morning, it can create a block to progress, which is no way to start your day. By giving yourself a head start the night before, you're allowing your most productive work hours—in the morning—to be used to the fullest by not having to wonder about on choose what you'll work on first.Having a morning routine is one of the best things you've done for yourself. It not only helps you set your day up to be successful by gaining great power first in the morning, but it also allows you to guarantee that you are going to get a set number of things done right away. This way, no matter what your day brings, you should keep in mind that your health and nutrition are the most important. Your morning routine includes a workout, drinking water, meditation(冥想), and ensuring you get the nutrients you need to perform at a high level all day.One of the common mistakes people make is to focus entirely on whatever task is next on their list and promise not to move or pause until it's done. Tasks will expand to the time assigned. Instead, try to be inspired from successful people and setting up timed periods for both focused work and breaks. Establishing sections where you have a set amount of focus time followed by a set amount of refresh time prevents you from being distracted(注意力不集中的) and helps you make great progress on the tasks and projects you're working on.Being extremely future­focused and ambitious is great, but if you're always moving from one task to another, you could be missing out on a big growth opportunity. In order to learn what's working and what's not working, you need to spend time reflecting. Set aside some time at least every 10 days to reflect on the good, the bad, and everything in between. When you can identify what's working, you'll knowwhat to double down on. You'll also be able to identify the things that are holding you back from getting where you want to go, and to think out solutions for those struggles in order to remove them in the future.If you really want to get more done, you have to stop focusing on what you can't do, and start focusing on everything that's going right. Being grateful will not only increase your happiness factor, it will also make you more productive. When you have a positive attitude and take time out to recognize everything you have to be grateful for, you're able to focus on the many things you have accomplished, you're more likely to make progress and get more done.31. ____________ 32. ____________33. ____________34. ____________35.____________36. ____________37. ____________38. ____________ 39. ____________ 40. ____________五、 书面表达请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

江苏省南通市启东中学高一英语七选五专题试卷With the rapid development of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____1____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____2____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____3____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____4____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____5____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example. So please give yourself a little more time to stop and smell the roses fro m no w on. Let’s be positive about life, love life, and embrace life!A．So procrastination can’t be a voided.B．After all, there is a limit to humans’ ability.C．From m y point of vie w, this statement is one-sided.D．Next, the fast pace of life brings great pressure to people.E．Finally, the slow pace of life offers people more free time.F．Imagine how pleasant it would be to enjoy a nice slow life.G．In my opinion, we should calm down and slow our life downLanguage is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. ___6___ Here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___7___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___8___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Eve n if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___9___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share thatemotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. ___10___ A．Different culture makes different music.B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down. F．Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. G．We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.Some people succeed, while others do not.___11___ The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.___12___. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal.___13___ . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余）.___14___. They are more than just optimistic--- they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way.To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. ___15___ . While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities.Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do.If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!A．Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.B．You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.C．Having proper motivation is not optional--- it is another key to success.D．This is because some people own certain qualities that others do not have.E．Their stories will encourage and inspire you as you climb the ladder of success. F．Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and you will see yourself begin to grow. G．Another quality that helps people succeed is the ability to do and think about things in new and different ways.Why do more and more people show interest in cultural heritage (遗产) these days?____16____ Maybe it’s because technology has made it easier to learn about our ancestors. Here’s a list of several ways to connect you with your cultural heritage.If you aren’t sure where your ancestors are fr om, a DNA test can be a good way. Companies like Family Tree DNA will sell you a testing box that teaches you what to do. ____17____ There have been concerns about the safety—your DNA information sold to companies without asking you. If a DNA test isn’t yo ur cup of tea, you can try several other ways.One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about your family tree is sitting down with an olderrelative to chat about it. Talk in person with a grandparent, great-grandparent, or any other family member who’s be en around long enough to tell you about the past. ____18________19____ So one way to bridge the gap between your family’s past and present is to cook a traditional meal. If your ancestors are from Italy, you can learn how to host an Italian dinner party. Invite some relatives to share your common heritage over a meal.Learning a language is a unique way to connect with your ancestors and culture. ____20____ Once you’ve known the language of your ancestors, you may want to get in touch with your heritage by picking up the basics of that language.A．Food is part of your cultural heritage.B．This is a great way to learn about your ancestors.C．You generally get your test results within a few weeks.D．It can also let you meet new people and have more experiences.E．Food can help you feel like you’re truly experiencing that culture.F．People are eager to learn as much about our ancestors as possible.G．Perhaps they want to have a sense of belonging in our globalized world.Understanding cultural body language in other countries is key to managing efficient communication, especially when we have not yet mastered a foreign language. ___21___ I hope these will help you socialize when you try to communicate with foreigners in spite of the language barrier (障碍).Head movementsIn some parts of India, people tilt (倾斜) their heads from side to side to confirm something and show that they are actively listening. In western countries, people nod to show agreement.___22___Eye contactIn western culture, visual contact when you speak to someone is considered a positive aspect of body language. Strong visual contact is common in Spain and the Arabic culture among people of the same sex. Not looking back when someone is looking at you is considered impolite, showing insecurity or disinterest.___23___ In Caribbean communities, children and teenagers are taught not to look at adults in the eyes when they are being corrected.Greetings and goodbyesShaking hands is a normal and formal way to greet or say goodbye in western countries.___24___ In Romania, for example, only men usually do it. And they shake hands every time they meet, not just the first! In England, however, it’s unusual to shake hands with someone you are introduced to in an informal setting. Kissing cheeks is something done in many countries, especially in Europe, though the number of kisses, the occasion for doing so, and which cheek they start off on vary.___25___ When you communicate with foreigners, one secure way is to understand. respect and follow the culture.A．Body language varies from country to country.B．But it’s done in different contexts in different countries.C．However, in Greece, nodding actually means the opposite meaning.D．Here are a selection of gestures (姿势) and their meanings in different cultures.E．Some cultures, such as Japanese culture, consider long-time visual contact awkward. F．Here are five communication skills that you should keep in mind when in a foreign country. G．However, in different countries, people may have different explanations about hands shaking. Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don't they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn't that hard. Follow the steps below. ____26____!Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best, listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. ____27____, which will enable you to get a great job in the future. School sets you up on the right track!Be nice to your parents and teachers. ____28____. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they make you slightly angry sometimes. Keep in mind that they do the things they do because they care about you and want you to succeed in life. You don't get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you're an adult, you don't get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.____29____! Friends are there to support you and lift your spirits. Be with people who make you happy, and stay away from the ones who don’t. Create a group of supportive, loving friends that can help you succeed in life and live your dreams. Find a few really good friends that will stick with you once you leave high school.Get active! Join a sports team at school or out of school. Go for a run around your neighborhood. Take your dog on a nice, long walk, go swimming, do sit-ups-anything! Just exercise! ____30____. Studies show that people who get active in their child/teen years will be more active whenthey're adults, so start getting active now.A．Have good friends to help you outB．Successful teenage years will comeC．It helps you feel better, mentally and physically.D．This could be your job for the rest of your life!E．Doing so will help you get into a better collegeF．When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.G．Remember, they're there to help you be the best that you can beToday it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthroug h，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure togive that “Go away!” signal.____34____ It’s probably part of t he growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved. Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly. I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.A．Our instruments are changing quickly.B．I also have wires hanging from my ears.C．In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.D．I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.E．After all，I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.F．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”. G．Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions. Until two weeks ago, sixth graders could be found playing football. Recess(课间休息)was a time to play, learn, and exercise. Then, football was banned for being “too dangerous”. Now you'll find us lying on the grass and wishing for something to fill our time with.Football is a good source of exercise. The TIME for Kids article, “Fighting Fat in Kids,”talks about different ways to fight obesity(肥胖).____36____We need football so we don't grow up to be unhealthy and get diseases like diabetes or heart disease.___37___With big teams it doesn't leave anyone out like other games Just picture it: Every child in sixth grade can be invited to play together! Whether you are a great player or a beginner, there is always a place for you on the team!Some people think football is only for boys.____38____Out of 25 kids, including boys and girls, all will say they want to play football. Even my mom and sister love to play. This shows that football is a valuable part of recess and should not be banned.Football helps us learn important things.____39____Sometimes during the game both teams argue because they think they should get the point. This gives kids a chance to work out their problems on their own and make a solution.Please allow football again at recess.____40____We will get more exercise, we will build community, and we will learn important skills. These are lessons we need, and as long as we are careful, we can be safe. Please take the football ban away and let us play again.A．In fact, that's not true.B．We will be healthier, stronger kids if you do.C．For example, we can learn to solve problems.D．Football is a game that everyone can participate in.E．These are the basic football rules for school children.F．One of the reasons kids get fat is because they don't get enough exercise.G．Football is a dangerous sport with injuries happening frequently to the head.Made out of thin airThe world has experienced a lot of extreme weather this year due to climate change, which carbon emissions are believed to be most responsible for. ____41____Meat made from airIt is hard to imagine that food consisting of protein could be produced from CO2, but that is exactly what Solar Foods is working on. To create the protein, the company uses renewable energy to split water cells into hydrogen and oxygen. ____42____ This is fed to microbes(微生物), which in turn create an eatable food, according to science website Futurism. This process makes alternative protein 100 times more climate- friendly than other sources of protein, the company said.____43____What about wearing a pair of shoes made of carbon emissions? On Running, a Swiss sports shoe brand, is trying to make foam(泡沫) for its shoed from captured carbon. In November, it announced it was teaming up with US-based company LanzaTech to make ethanol(乙醇) out of waste CO2, which would otherwise be burned, releasing CO2. On Running hopes to produce its first pair of shoes made wholly from carbon sometime next yeat. ____44____Turning CO2 into perfumeWhat is the smell of a perfume made from CO2? New York-based startup Air Company is selling perfume made from CO2. Perfume has an alcohol base. When mixed with a bit of water and fragrance(芳香) oil, it becomes perfume. Ethanol is widely used in perfume production because it has a neutral smell. This means you only smell the oil. ____45____ And with the addition of water and fragrance oil, you get perfume made mainly from air.A．Running on foamB．Stepping on carbonC．This kind of fragrance oil is made from CO2 by Air Company.D．Then it mixes the hydrogen with CO2 and adds other nutrients.E．They are expected to not cost much more than a regular pair of shoes.F．To solve the problem, capturing and reusing CO2 is an option for tech companies.G．What Air Company is able to do is transform CO2 into a very pure form of ethanol.If being late were an Olympic sport, some people would win medals. Being late can send a stressful ripple (连锁反应) through an entire day. ____46____.____47____It’s very important to be on time. Being on time shows respect for the person you’re meeting with. Punctuality also can be a reflection of how well you are respecting your own time and your own well-being. You can always let time pass, but you can’t get it back once it’s already gone. Know that departure time doesn’t equal arrival time____48____. So pack your bag, find your good shoes and get your travel mug ready all before you need to leave. Another tip is to work backward from when you need to be somewhere to give yourself time. There’s a lot of steps that people just don’t consider. So if y ou need to buy a metrocard or print something, leave time for that stuff.Get comfortable with being earlyArriving somewhere early may make some people super-anxious, uneasy and extremely uncomfortable. ____49____. For example, you can try to tell yourself that you will in fact find something to do with your hands, or think of it as a moment to catch your breath and give yourself a second to get settled.Be honest about your latenessEveryone is late sometimes. ____50____.

Day 1AEasy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh StartIt doesn't need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day. Whenever we mark a new year —by turning the calendar, returning to school or celebrating a holiday — we are looking for a fresh start. ___1___ But how? Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh, whether it’s a new year or simply a new day in our life.___2___ This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past. Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can stimulate even the common task of creating your to-do list.Moreover, you can learn something new by opening a book you've been expecting to read, searching a question that's been on your mind, enrolling in a class that motivates your interest. Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue. ___3___ Take a break from technology — for an hour, a day, or a week. ___4___ You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital routines.One reason we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past, the future or even the present. ___5___ Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or less), specific time. The rest of the time, focus on what you are doing that's new and positive.How do you give yourself that “fresh start” feeling?A.
