For them, there’s something highly exciting about 1 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 2 at hiding. They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies exposed.For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 3 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures. But our 4 research results in child developmental psychology 5 that idea.We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC.Each child sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 6. We then asked the child if she could see or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same7 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 8 children said that they couldn’t9 to her.A number of 10 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 11 the questions and knew exactly what was asked of them. Their 12 to the questions reflected their true 13 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply insist on mutual(相互的) recognition and regard.

文体分类练(二)记叙文(限时:25分钟)Passage1(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.Inspired by a Canadian couple,we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about The Virgin Islands,highlighting the beautiful beaches.However,for every photo album of a beautiful beach,there were 10 photos of trash.It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue,especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So,we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.The more we looked into plastic pollution,the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution.From that point,we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines,our way of living,and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places,working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have guessed?1.Why did the author do pet sitting?A.To raise fund.B.To protect the environment.C.To cover travel expenses.D.To shoot beautiful beaches.2.What does the author intend to convey through her story?A.Pet sitting is a new type of occupation.B.The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination.C.Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity.D.Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution.3.How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean?A.Significant.B.Challenging.C.Adventurous.D.Dreadful.4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.Changing Lifestyles by Pet SittingB.Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting TravelC.Dealing with Global Environmental PollutionD.The Availability of Pet Sitting in the CaribbeanPassage2(2023四川宜宾二诊)Sachin Oza always seemed to catch whatever cold and flu germs were flying around.Despite being only in his mid-thirties,he felt out of shape and out of sorts.He realized that if he didn’t make some changes,his immune function would continue worsening with age.“I have a family background of diabetes,high cholesterol,and heart disease,” adds Oza.“I had to take action.”But Oza’s lifestyle stood in the way.He clocked long days working in finance in London,with little opportunity to be active or focus on his well-being.His commute from his home in Orpington,Kent,to the office was stressful and time-consuming,and he was spending far too many hours stuck behind his desk.Oza’s increasingly sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle had repercussions.In addition to catching bugs easily,he lacked energy,his body ached,and he felt lethargic.“My immune system was really weak,” recalls Oza.“I knew that I shouldn’t be feeling this way before even hitting 40.”So he began a 15-year journey to examine his health fully.He conducted some changes to his diet,introducing more raw fruits and vegetables and cutting down on junk food.He started going for runs and began regular training,resistance training,and stretching.He also became interested in mindfulness,practising deep-breathing and meditation.Now 49,Oza feels like a new man.“I catch colds far less frequently than before,” he says.His aches and pains have eased,his stress levels are lower,and he sleeps soundly.“I no longer wake up in the early hours,which has made a huge difference in how I feel.”There are many factors affecting the immune system that we can’t control—ageing weakens our immune function,for example,and we have individual genetic differences that affect how we deal withdiseases.5.What was the barrier for Oza to make changes before?A.His immune system.B.His family background.C.His unfavourable lifestyle.D.His weak health situation.6.What does the underlined word “lethargic” mean?A.Puzzled.B.Sleepy.C.Unconfident.D.Energetic.7.How has Oza regained health?A.By taking a 15-year journey.B.By giving up his job in London.C.By eating raw fruits and vegetables.D.By changing diets and keeping training.8.What do you think of Oza according to his experience?A.Busy.B.Determined.C.Intelligent.D.Dull.Passage3(2023浙江嘉兴二模)Joe Horan,a physical education teacher,has started the program Building Men to create a positive vision of manhood not just for himself,but also for the boys he teaches.Looking back,Mr.Horan says his program developed from a low point in his life.In 2004 as he went through a hard time,he felt society’s definition of manhood was leading him down the wrong path.His life,he says,lacked substance and depth.“A desire became planted in my heart.That is,to find healing from the unhealthy messages I believed about manhood,” he says.Then,his sister recommended a book,Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx,which digs into the discovery of what being a man is all about.Joe took all the clues and started to put life lessons into his class.Despite limited resources and funding,Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006.It grew on a shoestring budget,expanding school by school,year by year.Today,33 teachers,like Mr.Colabufo,work across 18 schools.Mr.Colabufo has known Mr.Horan for several years,noting many people are aware of the program’s success.“Joe’s a legend in this district,” Mr.Colabufo says.The program appeals to boys at first because of a basketball component,but its secret is how it divesinto off-the-court issues through discussions on character.Building Men helps participants gain insight,work to restore self-worth,and learn to calm emotions.SIR is a central component of lessons,standing for significance,integrity,and relationships.At a recent breakfast fundraiser,Shateek Nelson,a senior at Nottingham High School,shared his experience,having participated in Building Men since middle school.He said he learned to see the bigger picture,rather than living in the moment.He also came to realize his actions affect others,and now he factors that into his decisions.9.What motivated Joe Horan to start the program Building Men?A.An instructional book.B.His personal experience.C.His sister’s suggestion.D.The society’s expectation.10.What does the underlined word “shoestring” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Flexible.B.Proper.C.Tight.D.Balanced.11.What did Shateek Nelson learn from participating in Building Men?A.One should dream big and then start small.B.One should live each day as if it were the last day.C.It is good to gain real-life experience at middle school.D.It is essential to think more of others in decision-making.12.What is the best title for the text?A.SIR:Core Component of Physical EducationB.Healthy Life:Involving Substance and DepthC.Building Men:Teaching Boys About ManhoodD.Manhood:Teenagers’ Power of Handling Issues答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。

Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, awell-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on Y ouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”；4．Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu BanA．For his simple words. B．For his popular videos.C．For his carpentry skills. D．For his excellent arch bridge.；5．What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2A．Theory is from pracitce. B．Success depends on love. C．Excellent skills lie in hard work. D．Happiness comes from interest.；6．What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft worksA．No nails or glue. B．Delicate design.C．The apple shape. D．The wooden material.；7．What message does this text mainly conveyA．Being popular means more fans. B．Perfect skills earn more money. C．Supporting family needs more skills. D．Traditional crafts deserve passing on.CUntil 13, Parker Liautaud was an ordinary kid. That changed after he met polar explorer Robert Swan. They began an email correspondence which turned into a friendship that eventually saw the then 14-year-old invited to join a trip to the Antarctic. He said yes almost instantly. Friends and family, to whom he’d so far shown he had no particular inte rest in outdoor pursuits, particularly polar ones, were thrown into total confusion, to say the least. He ate lots of chicken, spent a long time in the gym, and proved them wrong.The following year, Liautaud cooked up a more ambitious plan: to become the youngest-ever person to go to the North Pole. He found a new partner, Doug Stoup, and through a mixture of charm and luck raised the roughly $150,000 needed for the record attempt. Then disaster struck. The early months of the year, when the two set out, were among the warmest on record. The North Pole, which is essentially a GPS location on a constantly-drifting collection of ice sheets, became virtually inaccessible, surrounded by pieces of uncovered ocean.A trip which had intended to raise awareness of melting ice caps had been delayed by melting Ice caps. " We would get up, battle throughthese difficult conditions for 150 hours, then wake up the next morning and find that we were further away from the Pole than we’d started the previous morning, he sai d. After 14 days’ trying, they admitted defeat. Liautaud came home and decided to try again the next spring. Conditions were cold but perfect, and he and Stoup reached the Pole in no time. While it might not have made him the youngest North-Poler, the success did give Liautaud a platform to continue advocacy against climate change, through his campaigning website. His view is that it's his generation that must push hardest for cuts in carbon emissions. He has already contributed to research projects carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency and will soon set up two stations to record weather data.8．How did Liautaud's family react to his decision to go to the Antarctic A．They made fun of it.B．They turned a deaf ear to it .C．They were puzzled about it.D．They tried to talk him out of it.9．What prevented Liautaud and Stoup from reaching the North Pole A．The movement of the iceB．The lack of fundsC．The severe weatherD．The failure of the equipment10．Why was Liautaud determined to go to the North PoleA．To push his physical limitsB．To become the youngest North-PolerC．To finish a research project for his websiteD．To support environmental protection11．Which of the following words can best describe Liautaud as a young manA．Demanding B．Responsible C．Generous D．CooperativeDIf you ask something of ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence(AI) tool, you may immediately get the responses, completely certain and often wrong. The questions raised by technologies like ChatGPT cause much more tentative answers. But they are ones that managers ought to start asking. One issue is how to deal with employees’ concerns about job security. Worries are natural. An AI that makes it easier to process your expenses is one thing; an AI that people would prefer to sit next to at a dinner party quite another. Being clear about how workers would redirect time and energy that is freed up by an AI helps foster acceptance. So does creating a sense of agency: research conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and the Boston Consulting Group found that an ability to override an AI makes employees more likely to use it.Arthur Jago of the University of Washington and Glenn Carroll of theStanford Graduate School of Business investigate how willing people are to give rather than earn credit—specifically for work that someone did not do on their own. They showed volunteers something attributed to a specific person — an artwork, say, or a business plan — and then revealed that it had been created either with the help of an algorithm or with the help of human assistants. Everyone gave less credit to producers when they were told they had been helped, but this effect was more pronounced for work that involved human assistants.The picture that emerges from such research is messy. It is also dynamic: just as technologies evolve, so will attitudes. But it is crystal-clear on one thing. The impact of ChatGPT and other AIs will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.；12．What should managers take into consideration when using technologies like ChatGPTA．Skills used for them. B．Issues caused by them.C．Accuracy ensured in them. D．Alternatives discovered for them.；13．What can we learn about employees’ attitude towards AI from Paragraph 2A．They find it can make their work more complicated.B．They think it is a threat for AI to replace them at work.C．They consider it’s normal for AI to finish all their work.D．They feel it’s vital for them to acknowledge its abilities.；14．What did the volunteers think of a task accomplished with AI algorithmA．They thought little of it. B．They were unaware of it.C．They spoke highly of it. D．They felt envious about it.；15．What does the passage mainly talk aboutA．The limitation of AI. B．The importance of Chat GPTC．The relationship between AI and humans. D．The practical application of Chat GPT.参考答案本文是一篇应用文。

A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential issue has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.Let’s see what you can do.★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On numerous occasions,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it’s not the end of the world.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.★Deal with conflicts soone r rather than later.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said,but from something that wasn’t said! Everyone’s waiting for the other to admit he’s wrong and gets more un pleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It’s essential to interrupt the “waiting game” before it gets to that point.★Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that made you angry,or if you don’t understand their viewpoint or actions,simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there’s a good reason why that person do es what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappear right there.Do remember to make an inquiry,not an accusation of any sort.★Appreciate.Praise the other part in the conflict.Tell them why it’s wor th it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it’s a great way to move forward.Topic How to 1. conflicts at workReason Conflicts won’t 2. if not dealt with3.on handling conflicts ●Don’t be afraid of conflicts which are usually 4..●Interrupt the “waiting game” and try to admit your 5.actively and solve it soon or it will get 6.●Don’t imagine people do something to make you 7. onpurpose.●Remember not to 8. others,but ask them nicely aboutwhat they do,which may make a difference.●Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict although itis 9. to do so.10.

文体分类练(七)新闻报道(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023四川成都三诊)Jeff Jensen,the business and Boy Scout leader,was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot.He needed surgery,but he doubted whether he could afford it,even with insurance.“There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24,000 dollars and going.How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.Luckily for Jensen,his doctor is Demetrio Aguila.The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work.He founded an organization called M25 Program.“We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS.“We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”Using an algorithm (算法),the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery.In Jensen’s case,the $12,000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.Like 10 percent of Aguila’s pa tients,Jensen chose the community service.And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult,Aguila,50,not only lets others participate,he encourages it.“I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.Jensen,whose surgery was completed in February 2020,was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train,which donates food,clothing,and medicine nationally and globally.Dave Harvey,founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My Brethren,is counted as one who is inspired by Aguila.“He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!”he told KMTV in Omaha.“What a cool thing!”1.What can a patient do if he can’t afford surgery accor ding to the text?A.Seek aid from social media.B.Raise money in the hospital.C.Join in the voluntary service.D.Turn to the insurance company.2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.People’s help.B.The M25 Program.munity service.D.Medical assistance.3.What’s Harvey’s attitude to Aguila?A.Cautious.B.Concerned.C.Grateful.D.Doubtful.4.Where is the text probably taken from?A.A local newspaper.B.A medical journal.C.A clinic advertisement.D.An insurance brochure.Passage2(2023山东青岛一模)A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first.Last November,Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request.“Dear LA County,I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one.Please send me a letter in response.”Director Mayeda replied two weeks later.The department does in fact license unicorns,she said,under certain conditions.Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn at least once a month with a soft cloth,feeding it watermelon at least once a week,covering it with only nontoxic and biodegradable sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight,moonbeams and rainbows.And,because unicorns are indeed very rare to find,the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search,as a token of appreciation.“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,”Mayeda wrote in the letter.“I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”Mayeda told The Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature.They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place,and doing her research to work out how to go about that.She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death”issues on the job,whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuseor animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals.So Madeline’s letter has co nsiderably brightened their spirits,and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application.Safe to say,she’s in for a magical surprise.5.Why did Madeline write the letter?A.To apply to visit a unicorn.B.To learn to provide animal care.C.To ask permission to keep a pet.D.To figure out how to find a unicorn.6.What can we learn from paragraph 3?A.Her application was disapproved.B.Requirements should be met for the license.C.She was presented with a live unicorn.D.Guidance was given for her search.7.Which of the following best describes Mayeda?A.Imaginative.B.Sensitive.C.Flexible.D.Convincing.8.Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”?A.Because it is the first application letter for a pet.B.Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue.C.Because they are worn out with their daily work.D.Because they are touched with the girl’s deeds.Passage3(2023广东茂名二模)Holding the large and heavy “brick”cellphone he’s credited with inventing 50 years ago,Martin Cooper talks about the future.Little did he know when he made the first call on a New York City street from a heavy Motorola prototype(原型)that our world would come to be encapsulated on a sleek glass sheath where we search,connect,like and buy.Cooper says he is an optimist.He believes that advances in mobile technology will continue to transform lives but he is worried about risks smartphones pose to privacy and young people.“My most negative opinion is that we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace and accessible to somebody who has enough intense desire to get it,” the 94-year-old said in an interview in Barcelona at MWC,the Mobile World Congress,the world’s biggest wirel ess trade show,where he was getting a lifetime award.Cooper sees a dark side to the advances,including the risk to children.One idea,he said,is to have“various Internets intended for different audiences”.Cooper made the first public call from a handheld portable telephone on a Manhattan street on April 3,1973,using a prototype device his team at Motorola had started designing just five months earlier.Cooper used the DynaTAC phone to famously call his opponent at Bell Labs,owned by AT&T.It was literally t he world’s first brick phone,weighing 2.5 pounds and measuring 11 inches.Cooper spent the best part of the next decade working to bring a commercial version of the device to market.The call helped kick-start the cellphone revolution.Cooper said he’s “not crazy” about the shape of modern smartphones.He thinks they will develop so that they’ll be “distributed on your body”,possibly as sensors “measuring your health at all times”.Batteries,he said,might be replaced by human energy.The body makes energy from food,he argues,so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand,for example,the device could be placed under the skin.9.What does the underlined part “a sleek glass sheath” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.A smartphone.B.A Motorola prototype.C.A “brick” cellphone.D.An original cellphone.10.What is Cooper’s attitude about the future of the mobile phone?A.Most negative.B.Very subjective.C.Doubtful and disapproving.D.Optimistic but also concerned.11.What can be inferred about children from paragraph 5?A.They should be provided with a different Internet from adults.B.They should have easy access to various Internets.C.They should be introduced to different audiences.D.They should use various Internets for learning materials.12.According to Cooper,how might smartphones be powered in the future?A.By body sensors.B.By human body.C.By solar energy.D.By advanced batteries.答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Jeff Jensen在医生Demetrio Aguila成立的M25 Program 的帮助下,通过参加社区服务来支付了手术费用的故事。

50分阅读限时满分练(一)(限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)A(2021·山东烟台高考适应性练习)Here are four famous museums for family visits in Washington,D.C.Dinosaur MuseumThe museum features evidence, facts and tons of amazing sculptures of some of the most powerful and sometimes scary animals that ever controlled the Earth. The artists used real dinosaur bones to form the reproductions so they are extremely lifelike.Witte MuseumOriginally established in 1926, this museum offers guests a comprehensive look at a more than 3-century span(跨度) of history. Called the centre where nature, science and culture meet, the museum prides itself on providing guests with immersive(沉浸式的) experiences, such as being taken back to cowboy days in the Heritage Centre or digging through sand to find dinosaur bones.The best part?

Researchers have found that inadequate sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and the academic achievement.While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analysing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it was the sleep you got during the days when learning was happening that mattered most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says, “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps the most interesting was the huge effect that small differences in sleep patterns had on students’ grades. The entire course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly,students who changed their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.4.Based on his original goals, which word best describes Professor Gross’s research findings?plete.B.Accidental.C.Convincing.D.Doubtful.5.Who were the people taking part in the study?A.University student athletes.B.Professor Gross’s own students.C.Middle school chemistry students.D.Volunteers from different universities.6.How did Professor Gross’s team measure academic performance?A.Making the students wear a special watch.B.Giving the students regular after-class quizzes.ing students’ university entrance test results.ing the students’ normal test and quiz grades.7.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A.A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.B.A person who sleeps from 11 p.m.to 6 a.m.each day.C.A person whose normal bedtime changes between 9 p.m.and 12 p.m.D.A person who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.C(2021·安徽安庆高三二模)Mental health and happiness are important to students’ success in higher education but rarely get the attention they need. Colleges and universities in the United States have been seeing increases in mental illness among students for decades. Promoting students’ mental health and emotional happiness on campus requires more than a well-functioning counselling centre. It calls for a campus-wide commitment action plan.American undergraduate students have been reporting increasing rates of anxiety and depression for decades. In the 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study(HMS) survey, 40% of about 300,000 students at some 300 colleges and universities reported experiencing a mental health problem, and 60% said they were having difficulty accessing mental health care on campus or in the community. Other studies estimate that the dropout rate for US undergraduate students with mental health problems is over 40%, and that the popularity of mental health problems among graduate students is six times that of the general population.Most academic institutions provide some mental health services, often through a counselling centre. But no matter how good that centre is, it alone cannot solve the problems. An important early step is for each institution to assess the extent of the crisis on its campus and whether there are enough treatment services either at the institution or in the local community. Another important question is whether there are elements of the institution’s ownenvironment or culture that contribute to the problems that students are experiencing, like unreasonable workloads or deadlines for assignments.Every college and university should carry out a comprehensive action plan to achieve this goal. This may require additional resources during a trying time for institutional budgets. But supporting all students is so important that financial priorities should be rearranged.8.What happens to undergraduate students in America?A.They pay little attention to higher education.B.Increasing students suffer from mental illness.C.They are lacking in a sense of happiness.D.They lose confidence in the future careers.9.What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A.Terrible dropout rates.B.Decreasing general population.C.Emotional happiness.D.Mentally healthy problems.10.What is the key solution to fixing the problems?A.Analysing the present situation.B.Opening more counselling centres.C.Offering free mental health services.D.Reducing unreasonable workloads.11.How can we put a comprehensive action plan into practice?A.By giving some useful advice.B.By offering financial support.C.By turning to the government.D.By getting enough trying time.D(2021·山东日照一模)Singapore researchers say they have developed a form of electronic skin that can create a sense of touch. They hope their invention will give people with prosthetic(假体的) hands the ability to identify different objects.The skin device measures 1 square centimetre. The system contains 100 small sensors that attempt to recreate things like textures(质地), temperature and even pain. The researchers call the device Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin(ACES), which can process information faster than the human’s nervous system, and is able to recognise 20 to 30 different textures. It can even correctly read Braille(布莱叶盲文) letters most of the time.The system does not require the users’ movement to work. They just need to slide to feel textures. But in this case the skin, with just a single touch, is able to detect textures of different roughness.A demonstration showed that the device could identify the difference between a soft ball and a solid plastic one.“When you lose your sense of touch, you essentially become numb and prosthetic users face that problem,” said Benjamin Tee, leader of the research team.“So by recreating an artificial version of the skin for their prosthetic devices, they can hold a hand and feel the warmth and feel that it is soft.”Tee said his idea for the device came from a movie where a character loses his right hand and it is replaced with a robotic one. In the movie, the new hand is able to experience the touch sense just like the real one.The artificial skin technology is still going through experiments and development. But Tee said there had already been a lot of interest in the system, especially from the medical community. Tee said similar inventions that his team had developed included see-through skin that could repair itself when torn and a material for wearable electronic devices that gave off light.12.What can we learn about the artificial skin in paragraph 2?A.It is sensitive to high temperature.B.It reacts faster than our nervous system.C.It can recognise different objects.D.It helps the users memorise Braille letters.13.What can be inferred from Benjamin Tee’s words?A.The artificial skin feels like a real thing.B.People with the artificial skin feel warm.C.People don’t want to lose the sense of touch.D.He is sympathetic towards the prosthetic users.14.What inspired Benjamin Tee to create the artificial skin?A.The desire to help those in need.B.The life of the disabled.C.A dream of earning more money.D.A scene from a movie.15.Which word can best describe the artificial skin technology?A.Profitable.B.Stable.C.Promising.D.Challenging.Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)(2023·新高考Ⅰ卷)Personal ForgivenessTaking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err(犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.”17 Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.It’s something of a cliché(陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 20 We’re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow.A.A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.B.Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.C.They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.D.It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.E.It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.F.Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.G.Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.50分阅读限时满分练(一)【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

01-5议论文阅读理解专题练——2024年新高考英语二轮复习题型突破D篇1(2024届湖南省长沙市高三上学期1月新高考适应性考试)Nothing earns attention like rarity. In the natural world, rarity is most clearly represented by the last members of a declining species. These scarce(稀有)plants and animals are extremely valuable; they represent the final hope for preventing extinction. The efforts toward conserving rare species have made an enormous difference. In the past few decades, declines of many endangered plants and animals have been reversed(逆转). But the attention to scarcity could come at the expense of overlooking the ordinary.If we are to conserve nature, we must maintain our focus on the familiar. Increasingly, conservation is turning its sights in this direction — to safeguard what is common, not just what is rare.There are good reasons to consider the common. A study of North American birds uncovered that we have lost three billion birds on this continent within the past two generations.These declines include species once considered widespread and secure, like the common redpoll, whose numbers are down by 29million and the common nighthawk, down by 26 million. The shocking losses are a reminder that the mark of a species in trouble is not rarity, but rate of decline.Notably, the shifts in abundance of common species can translate into sizeable shifts in ecosystem functioning. One caribou herd(北美驯鹿群), numbering in the hundreds of thousands, removes millions of kilograms of food for animals every year and returns nutrients to the soil in the form of millions of kilograms of animal wastes.The value of common species is not just ecological and economic, but psychological. Study after study demonstrates that encounters with the natural world improve our mental state. Losing familiar species — whether birds in our backyard or butterflies on our doorstep — is likely to shrink(收缩)such opportunities for engagement.Rarity will always occupy a significant place in conservation. But in our pursuit for a sustainable and biodiverse future, we must avoid “the extinction of commonness”.What is the purpose of the first paragraphA. To make a survey.B. To offer a suggestion.C. To introduce the topic.D. To provide an example.33. What does the example of bird study suggest according tothe textA. Species loss balances the ecosystem.B. Birds produce many nutrients to the soil.C. Species rate of decline arouses people’s concern.D. Birds are described as widespread and secure animals.34. What can we conclude from the passageA. Rarity matters most in conservation.B. Familiar species shouldn’t be ignored.C. Biodiversity results in the extinction of commonness.D. People’s physical state shrinks for the sustainable development.35. Where is this text most probably taken fromA. A news report.B. A health column.C. A biology magazine.D. A travel brochure.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校专题限时训练(二十三) [新闻报道型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)SHANGHAI—Health experts in Shanghai are calling for more protection for young children as the latest research shows about half of the youngsters are suffering from second hand smoke.About 45 percent of children suffer passive smoking in families, 50 percent in public places, and almost 6 percent on public transportation, shows a research released by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center on Tuesday.“Not only adults but also children and newborn babies a re at risk for the adverse effects of passive smoking，” said Tang Jingyan, a doctor at the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center.“Actually, those young children whose bodies are still growing and developing are more sensitive to the effects of second­hand smoke.”Research has shown that children who are exposed to second­hand smoke will suffer from more colds, coughs and sore throats, and they are more likely to suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia and will have a higher risk of developing cancer.Doctors even suggested that children suffering passive smoking are more likely to have behavioral problems and may not develop mentally as quickly as their peers.Other research by the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center has found that more than 80 percent of child patients in the center live in a smoke­filled household, where one or both parents smoke.“Though doctors have stressed the harm of passive smoking over and over, it is still hard to reach a totally smoke­free home，” said a pediatrician named Zhang Yiwen, noting that parents are often tempted to smoke even though they have learned the harmful effects of second­hand smoke.China has 540 million people suffering from passive smoke, 180 million of them younger than 15.The age of smokers is also getting lower, earlier reports said.“There are more young smokers than before.You can see young people wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag light a cigarette on the street.Some of them are even female students，” said Jing Xingming,a professor of children’s deve lopmental behavior at the center.“Children like to imitate adults, especially their parents.If parents often smoke at home, it is very likely children will develop a smoking habit, which can cause a vicious circle，” Jin said.Reports from the Ministry of Health said China has about 350 million smokers, of whom 15 million are underage smokers.Also, around 40 million of the country’s 130 million children aged between 13 and 18 had tried smoking, and 15 million had become addicted to tobacco.( )1.What is the main idea of the passage?A．About half of the youngsters are suffering from second­hand smoke.B．Experts are calling for more protection for youngsters from smoking.C．More and more youngsters are picking up the habit of smoking.D．Smoking does great harm to the health of the youngsters.( )2.What kind of the youngsters most possibly develop a habit of smoking?A．Children of non­smoking mothers.B．Children of non­smoking fathers.C．Children of heavy smokers.D．Children from some smoking centers.( )3.Which of the following disease may not be connected with second­hand smoking?A．Cancer.
