有底气的爱国更从容李拯十一将至，街头巷尾国庆气氛浓烈：博物馆纪念馆多了注视的目光，人们从历史触摸国家的源流；校园里多了祖国的元素，爱国的种子播撒在幼小的心灵；大街小巷多了鲜红的国旗，人们相互传递着共同体意识。
这些都提醒我们，国庆不仅是假日，更是节日，是重温民族记忆、分享国家荣光的时间节点。
对生于斯、长于斯的故土的依恋，对命运共同体祖国的热爱，是人类普遍的心理诉求。
正因此，国家的每一分进步，都能激发人们内心深处最为深沉的民族自豪感。
就在国庆前夕，被誉为“现代世界七大奇迹”之一的港珠澳大桥竣工，世界上最大的单体射电望远镜建成，世界最大的基因库在深圳投入运营……这些突破不仅在世界上引起轰动，也在每位国民心中激起巨澜，让人感受到作为一名中国人的自豪。
如果把视野拉开，回溯到60多年前，从被“开除球籍”的压力中出发的我们，可曾想到今天能走这么远？50年前，人均GDP仅有254元，在半个世纪里增长了200倍；改革开放以来，中国的GDP持续30多年高速增长，成为世界第二大经济体；触网20多年，中国拥有世界上数量最多的网民和规模最大的网络市场……数字的强烈对比，描绘着中国的发展轨迹，更说明经过67年艰苦奋斗、38年改革开放的中国，已经站在新的历史起点上，日益走向世界舞台的中央。
这正是当代中国人的自信所在、底气所在。
值得中国人自豪的，不仅是中国前进的结果，更是中国前进的方式。
与历史上先后崛起的大国相比，中国更多的是在内生性演化的基础上实现现代化，在本土范围内消化现代化的矛盾，不从他国掠夺资源，也不向他国转嫁危机。
新起点上的中国，将是人类历史上第一个不依靠侵略而崛起的大国，她丰富了人类发展的模式、改变了大国崛起的范式。
对此，有国际观察家直言，“对世界而言，中国的和平崛起是一种创新”。
伴随着中国综合国力的不断提升，投射到国家这个共同体上的爱国情感，内涵也多了许多时代的特点。
上一代人的爱国精神，更多地为“落后就要挨打”的紧迫感所驱动，有着通过外在成绩证明自己的强烈诉求，对待外部环境的压力相对敏感。
阅读七选五技能保分练(三)段中过渡句类Test 1[2021·贵阳四校高三联考二]The Value of HonestyAccording to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” __1__ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they're doing it. But despite all these, honesty really is worth the effort.__2__ There's always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk? Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. __3__ But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you.Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. __4__ And a lie about someone else could destroy that person's reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feelings will be hurt.On the other hand, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. __5__ Business deals, friendships and family relationships all depend on trust.Honesty, however, doesn't mean that you have to say everything you think. Sometimes it's best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships.A．Be honest because you love yourself.B．But in daily life, honesty can be difficult.C．This will help you in every area of your life.D．When you're honest, you don't feel so lost all the time.E．One obvious reason for honesty is that it is difficult to keep lying.F．And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember.G．People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them.Test 2[2021·唐山市二模]Have you ever been labeled a “perfectionist”？Or do you consider yourself to be one? It's inviting to see perfectionism as a desirable or positive quality. __1__Healthy perfectionists want to develop their skills continually. Their standards are always rising, and they approach their work with optimism, pleasure and a desire to improve. Unhealthy perfectionists, however, are never satisfied with what they achieve. __2__ They may experience fear of failure, anxiety and other painful emotions.__3__ According to the 2011 research, perfectionism is linked to health issues such as eating disorders and depression. Perfectionism can also seriously impact your creativity. This is because perfectionism can prevent you from leaving your comfort zone and taking risks. __4__ You may avoid starting a new project until you've found the best way to approach it. You might also get caught up in minor details or repeat tasks that have already been completed. As a result, this wastes time that could have been spent on more important tasks.If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, start by setting realistic goals. Think about your most important life and career goals. __5__ Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also experience the thrill of achieving these smaller goals.Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt said it best — “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Accept that this is the best you can do and don't try and make up some perfect world.A．If something isn't perfect, they refuse it.B．Perfectionism can lead to selfcriticism, too.C．Perfectionism can damage your productivity, too.D．Then, break them down into monthly or yearly steps.E．In fact, severe perfectionism can do more harm than good.F．They show that you're not afraid to push yourself and try new things.G．When perfectionism gets out of control, it can harm you in many aspects.Test 3[2021·东北三校二模]Let's focus on what to do when you're about to tear up your homework, feed it to your dog, or pretend it never exists. What you choose to do is very important because it can affect how you feel about yourself and how you handle frustrating (令人沮丧的) situations in the future. __1__ Practicing them will make it easier to keep trying and, over time, help you get less frustrated during your learning journey.Step 1: RecognizeRecognize your frustration. __2__ Allowing yourself to be frustrated and saying to yourself that it is okay are an important first step and are surprisingly relieving.Step 2: Remind__3__ It means you're challenging yourself to learn. Remind yourself that difficulty and struggles are a natural part of pushing yourself to grow as a learner.Just as you can push yourself to run faster by pushing your muscles to their limit, you can push your brain to work extra hard. The more you push, the more your muscles will be sore (酸痛的) and tired in the moment. __4__ Frustration can be a sign that your brain is getting sore and tired.Step 3: ResetTry taking a short break. A few minutes away might be what your brain needs. Then, come back to your work. __5__ This step is very important! If all you can focus on is how frustrated you are, it may be hard for your brain to be ready to learn. On the other hand, be careful not to use this step to run away from the thing that is making you frustrated.The good news is that the more times you go through these steps, the stronger your good habits will become.A．Don't ignore it.B．You can't figure it out.C．Often, you will see the problem with fresh eyes.D．Sometimes struggles and a little frustration are a good thing.E．But when that soreness goes away, your muscles are stronger.F．Create a plan for what you will do next time to overcome the frustration.G．Here are a few steps to help you become better at dealing with frustration.Test 4[2021·济南市高三模拟]The dictionary defines “hobby” as an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure. Hobbies are a great way to forget about your worries. __1__ So the stuff you do outside your moneymaking business is important.Bird watching could be a great hobby for you. __2__ They can include listening for bird calls, finding and identifying birds by sight.

“网红”科学家诠释中国“工匠精神”张传超韩春雨，一个从没有海外留学背景的副教授，“偏安”河北科技大学，却一鸣惊人地发表了一项“诺贝尔级”的实验成果，而他自己也因此成为了“网红”科学家。
(5月22日光明网)十年寒窗无人问，一举成名天下知。
韩春雨何许人也？韩春雨，河北科技大学副教授，因其团队发明了一种新的基因编辑技术，向第三代基因编辑技术发起了挑战，并于5月2日，在国际顶级期刊《自然·生物技术》杂志上发表了这篇研究成果。
一个不知名大学的不起眼的副教授十年间未发表过一篇论文，除了身边的亲人、同事、学生，没人在意他的存在，却一鸣惊人地发表了一项“诺贝尔级”的实验成果，从“泛泛之辈”变成了“诺贝尔级”科学家，不但轰动了中国的科学界，更是轰动了中国的舆论界，“十年未发文章的副教授”刷爆了今日头条、新闻首页和朋友圈，一时间韩春雨成了天下人尽知的“网红”。
这个“网红”上位不靠颜值，而靠能力和坚守。
在帅哥美女投机恶搞的“网红”让我们逐渐审美疲劳的时候，这个靠“诺贝尔级”科研成果“上位”的“网红”让我们的民族自尊心和自豪感为之一振。
在我们为韩春雨的科研成果欢呼喝彩的时候，不应该忘记他为今日的成就所付出的“默默无闻”的十年。
韩春雨从2006年开始在河北科技大学任教，对于这十年，韩春雨是这样形容的——“一成不变的泡在实验室里的安静生活”。
“台上一分钟，台下十年功”，对于科学研究来说更是如此。
“一成不变”的坚守，甘于忍耐“泡在实验室十年”的寂寞，面对一次次失败不言放弃的毅力加上“板凳宁坐十年冷，文章不写半句空”的科学家的良知才成就了今日的“诺贝尔级”“网红”。
在韩春雨身上我们看到了中国人自己的“工匠精神”。
在我们惊叹德国工业产品的精密，艳羡德国人一以贯之、精益求精的“工匠精神”的时候，韩春雨“十年磨一剑”的坚守让我们看到了中国人身上的“工匠精神”。
从容独立，踏实务实。
两次跟风的失败，让韩春雨深刻地认识到科学家必须要做原创，这是对科学家身份的认同，也是中国科学家的自信。

一、现代文阅读(35分)(一)现代文阅读I(本题共5小题，18分)阅读下面的文字，完成1~5题。
材料一：红学在我国学术史上是一门特殊的学科，它本身独特性甚强，却又很容易被当作一般对象对待。
它的文化内涵极丰富，文化品位极高，所以需要我国的文学、史学、哲学、美学、科学等多方面的第一流学者通力协作，方能胜任愉快，展现光辉；而那些第一流学者各有自己的理想事业，如何能以“一部小说”来作为他们的研究目标?于是“红学”遂落于低层次的人士之手。
以我自己为例，如果勉强冒称一个“学者”,也不过是在三流的层次，还有一些尚不如我，根本不具备研治此学的条件。
以上二端，乃是“红学”悲剧性的最关键的矛盾因素，至少在历史现阶段，其情势实在如是，讳言与美化，是有害无益的。
无视于“红学”之极大独特性而总想把它拉向一般化，最好的例子可举海外的余英时。
余教授曾著专文倡言“红楼梦的两个世界”与“红学革命”,并以此而名扬寰宇。
在他看来，已有的红学一无是处，尤其是考证派已是“山穷水尽”“眼前无路”,故必须“革命”,而他的革命口号却是“回到文学上来”——他认为红学研究只应是一种文艺方面的事，别的都是错了路头的。
这就是我所说的，无视于“红学”的独特性而要把它向“一般化”拉挽。
其实余英时倒是个研究文化的高层次的教授(如对胡适的思想有所评论等),连他都那么看待《红楼梦》,则其他同类论红之人可推而知了。
文学，它是什么?离开特定的文化底蕴、历史环境、作者心灵神智，又能有何等真知灼见可以启迪学人呢?长时期评赞《红楼梦》的“艺术”的，仍然离不开“形象塑造”“性格刻画”“心理描写”“口语运用”之类，这倒看起来满像“文学”了，难道余教授会满足于这样的“回到文学”而以此排斥其他层面的研究吗?我所列的第二条悲剧性，一方面与第一条有关联，另一方面则是文化学术的普遍水平的事情。

跳出四大名著看“高中生叫板北大学者”乔志峰北大学者秦春华近日称“四大名著不适合孩子阅读”，称《水浒传》满是打家劫舍，《三国演义》充斥阴谋诡计，孩子不辨是非，易受影响。
郑州高三学生撰文反驳：现实中的低俗比名著更甚。
(10月17日《中国青年报》)最近，《中国青年报》“教育圆桌”栏目刊登了北京大学考试研究院院长秦春华老师的《“四大名著”适合孩子阅读吗？》一文后，围绕四大名著的阅读问题再掀波澜。
不少论者不认同秦老师的看法，甚至有人认为“少儿不宜”限制了学生阅读自由。
而郑州的那位高三学生，则站在学生的角度“现身说法”，对北大学者的观点进行了“批驳”。
也有不少冷静、理性的读者指出，秦春华文章的本意，并不是严格意义上的学术研究，而是善意提醒大家注意名著中存在的消极因素。
即便不是专家的身份，作为一位长者，对孩子进行这方面的提醒也无可厚非。
“取其精华、弃其糟粕”从来都是我们读书时应有的态度，一分为二更是我们对待大多数事物的基本原则。
名著虽好，也不能眉毛胡子一把抓，不加以甄别什么都吸收。
最起码，《红楼梦》里的某些情色描写、《三国演义》中对“宁教我负天下人，休教天下人负我”的过度渲染，都可能对缺乏鉴别力的未成年人产生不良影响。
当然，这并不意味着就可以得出“四大名著不适合孩子阅读”的结论，否则便过于草率和武断，有“把孩子和洗澡水一起泼掉”的嫌疑。
名著是宝贵文化遗产，要鼓励孩子去读，但要有引导、有选择性地去吸收。
对同一个事物有不同的看法很正常，更何况读书是“仁者见仁、智者见智”的事情。
其实，如果我们跳出“四大名著是否适合孩子阅读”这个争议，站在更高的角度来看“高中生叫板北大学者”，会生出更多的感慨。
能有学生对北大学者的文章提出异议甚至洋洋洒洒撰文进行批驳，说明社会发展到今天，学生们不乏独立思考的能力，不再完全听教育者“号令”。
相对于孩子对大人、对权威的“颐指气使”唯唯诺诺，敢于“叫板”无疑是一种令人欣慰的进步。
更难能可贵的是，这位高三学生的反驳文章，不仅写得文采斐然，还引经据典、有理有据，同时还密切联系现实，有很强的说服力。
Test 3 一、完形填空（共10小题；共15分）The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving presents, oreven getting an A on the math test you studied so hard for. Rather, it1 when you hand a cup of hot coffee to that older man sitting on the side ofthe street asking for money. You feel it when you drive an hour and a half to a2 to meet children with cancer. And you feel it when you sit down with yourfriend to comfort her after her mother died. Helping others can be the greatestfeeling in the world, and I 3 this just one year ago.My friend asked me to go to a Youth Group meeting at his church. After anhour of listening to them 4 their opinions, I was invited to go with themto help 5 the homeless.Early that Saturday morning, a team of 15 teenagers began makingsandwiches and counting bags of candy. For the first time in my life I realizedthat we, the teens of America, can make a 6 . Since it was my first time,and I wasn't part of the group, I felt a little out of place. But watching theothers 7 the food drove my nervousness away.Before long, all 150 bagged lunches were gone and the group was on its wayhome. I realized that not only is my friend an amazing person, but that all ofthose people are amazing. That's what made me join the Youth Group.I work at a coffee shop but don't make much. It's not the best job, butthere are times when it's worth it. For example, a few weeks ago, when the storewas 8 and I was bored, looking out of the window, I noticed an old mansitting outside. He had been there before. As a matter of fact, he 9 camein to buy anything because he didn't have any money. I took up a cup of coffee,walked outside, and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as Iwalked back into the store, I put my own money into the drawer. Then I knew howthe members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone.

Her teachers believe that she will behave badly.D. She doesn't study well and picks on her classmates.13. Where can we most probably read the passage?A. A personal diary.B. A website book review.C. A science report.D. A chemistry textbook.BImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested."I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to have a huge influence on society as a whole," says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia(柬浦寨).3D printing services are coming into American people's life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer(零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego."The need has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It's been much more than I would have imagined. "The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle(指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing prosthesis(假肢). He says the same-day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.Staples, an American store, are selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology, experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.Bryan Jaycox asks for $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today's technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia."With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world. "He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.14. What can 3D printers do according to the passage?A. Come up with an idea.B. Draw on a piece of paper.C. Help users reduce the cost.D. Turn an idea into an object.15. What does the underlined part mean in this passage?A. Make users' life better.B. Make friends with users.C. Make 3D printers easy to use.D. Use 3D printers to make money.16. What can we infer from the passage?A. 3D printing is becoming popular in the world.B. There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia.C.

Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store in Boston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money—$2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in travelers checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.While other people in similar situations would have been tempted(引诱), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bagto a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.While most people that read it felt surprised at the man's honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager from Virginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.Now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at what he is receiving for doing the right thing—Honesty, certainly pays off!根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
