2023年新高考二卷英语阅读理解C篇解析讲义Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way th at emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks —transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.8. Where is the text most probably taken from?A. An introduction to a book.B. An essay on the art of writing.C. A guidebook to a museum.D. A review of modern paintings.9. What are the selected artworks about?A. Wealth and intellect.B. Home and school.C. Books and reading.D. Work and leisure.10. Wha t do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Understand.B. Paint.C. Seize.D. Transform.11. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?A. The printed book is not totally out of date.B. Technology has changed the way we read.C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D. People now rarely have the patience to read.文章分析从阅读理解的角度来说，你只要扫一眼文章的第一段开头和第二段开头，知道这篇文章是在介绍一本书的内容，基本上阅读过程就可以结束了。

Press and Publication Administration.Online game companies are required to provide services for minors—from 8 to 9 p.m.on Fridays,Saturdays,Sundays and legal holidays—as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health.Children are playing more and more online games these days.Is it time to limit their online gaming time?What role do parents have?Readers share their opinions.RizlaredOnline games are addictive,but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longera threat.To achieve this,parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones.Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.AndrewGood policy.By limiting time spent on online games,kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential.They can go outside and run,jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smartphone.AdamIt is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones.Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage.Some forcibly take away their cellphones,but it will ruin trust and relationships.Even worse,it will make their kids hate them.PinkEing is purely a waste of time and energy for minors,and it has a negative effect on both physical and mental health.The gaming industry should not put profit-making interests as itspriority.They should act in a socially responsible way to provide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.LaurenThere would be a loophole(漏洞).Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration,thus making it impossible to put this policy into effect.Parents absolutely need to strengthen guidance and supervision to keep their

has a white beard,smiling eyes and maintains a steady,gentle rhythm when he speaks,had always a passion for wildlife—chasing it down,catching it.Curious about what eals could be out there,he found that wallabies,raccoons,pythons and many other species were hiding in Britain’s cities,roaming the estates,hidden away in garden sheds.He started the Beastwatch group out of “pure curiosity”.Think of it as a data project:“What’s out there?Let’s find out.”As more attention is given to the issue of non-native invasive species in the UK,ee under further scrutiny.Invasive species,which can disturb the balance of a local ecosystem via competition or spreading disease,have been described as one of the top threats to biodiversity worldwide.And ee with their owners.If anyone knows this,it’s Mullins.In

escaping from a nature park.“It is clear that the UK contains far more eals than the British public could ever i magine,” he told reporters at the time.While animal welfare charities,environmental groups,eent grapple with the best way to manage the UK’s rapidly diversifying population of animals,the frequency with which they are popping up in unlikely circumstances is rising.Whether it’s a

electronic and mobile d evices in today’s world are set to revolutionize how we make payments.With a click of a mobile phone app,our entire wealth is literally at our fingertips.As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments,some think that we should become fully cash-free.However,I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society.One of the main concerns of a cashless world is the risk of a cheat and ridiculously,the inconvenience that follows.The instant content that accompanies cashless transactions(交易) could be compromised by online security issues.Technology experts argue that our current state of technology is unable to provide a secure cashless environment that could prevent people from accessing thesystem illegally and abusing the personal data.In addition,many online shopping sites lack strong systems that would protect their customers’ personal information.Occasionally,when an account is “locked” due to a suspected cheating activity,having cash in hand becomes critical.In a cashless society,a victim of cheating would find himself locked out of his account and unable to have access to his money until the case is solved.Going cash-free causes great inconvenience in this case.Another reason is that mankind might potentially become less thrifty(节俭的).Paying in cash causes a psychological pain on consumers so that they are more cautious in their spending.As it is,cashless payments have already eased that pain somewhat.Thus,an even more careless digital payment could make us much less thrifty.The idea of a cashless society is a very real,or even an exciting one.However,to safeguard the interests of all users,it is better to soften our enthusiasm—perhaps to be a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one is a better option.8.How can cashless payments benefit people according to the author?A.They can warn people of risks.B.They can remind people of mistakes.C.They can reduce psychological pain.D.They can make life convenient.9.What’s the second reason the author tells to support h is idea?A.The risk of a cheat.B.The inconvenience.C.The lack of safety.D.The desire to purchase things.10.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Going Against the Cashless WaveB.Going Completely Cashless Is TrueC.Stopping Moving towards Being CashlessD.We Do Not Need Cash Any Longer11.The passage is mainly developed by .A.giving eaking introductionsD.examining differencesD(山东济南学情检测)When people hear “Artificial Intelligence(AI)”,many think of big data.The reason is that some of the most significant AI breakthroughs have relied on enormous data sets.But AI is not only about large data sets,and research in small data approaches in the past decade has grown extensively,with Transfer Learning(TL)(迁移学习) as an especially promising example,which is helpful in settings where you have few data on the task of interest but sufficient data on a related problem.Small data approaches like TL offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods.By the use of AI with fewer data,they can facilitate progress in areas where few or no data exist,such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely.More importantly,TL is of great help in terms of generalization.A challenge in the use of AI is that models need to generalize beyond their training data—that is,to give good “answers” to a more general set of “questions” than what theywere specifically trained in.TL models work by transferring knowledge from one task to another,so they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task,even if only limited data are available.AI experts such as Andrew Ng have stated that the approach will be the neachine learning success in industry.There are some early signs of successful adoption and it has been applied to cancer discovery and much more.Despite the increase in research,TL has received relatively little visibility.While many machine learning eiliar withit,techniques such as TL do not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policymakers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption.By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like TL and supporting their widespread use,we can help overcome some widespread misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and promote innovation in new directions.12.What does the author think of TL?A.It is a potential technique.B.It is of help in large data sets.C.It is an important AI breakthrough.D.It is a reliable solution to multitasking.13.In which aspect does TL show its advantages?A.Acquiring knowledge.B.Discovering questions.C.Collecting training data.D.Improving generalization.14.What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.TL has little value.B.TL is a heated topic.C.TL draws public attention.D.TL is not well recognized.15.What’s the purpose of this tee misconceptions.B.To introduce a small data approach.C.To predict the promising future of AI.D.To emphasize the significance of data.Ⅱ.七选五(湖南雅礼十六校联考)TakeaBreakfromTechnologyIn today’s world we are constantly surroundedby

阅读理解专练(二)(限时30分钟)AEvery new parent knows that rocking can calm that uneasy baby when it’s time to take a nap. But the benefits of gentle movement may go beyond the baby stage. Because two new studies show that rocking also helps grown-ups, both human and mouse, get a good night’s sleep.What should be no surprise is that movement can calm someone. Think of how many times you’ve fallen asleep on a train. But can motion really cause a nap, and make for a deeper sleep?To find out, researchers invited 18 healthy volunteers for a sleepover. “So they came to the lab and slept one time on the motionless, normal bed. And one night where they got rocked. ”said Aurore Perrault, a sleep researcher at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. “And what we find is that when pared to a motionless night, a whole night of rocking sleep has a beneficial effect not only on sleep beginning but also on sleep continuity. ”Subjects who were rocked also did better on a memory test the next morning than the stiller sleepers.In the second study, Kompotis, a student at the University of Lausanne, rocked a rack of mice. Whether rocking affects sleep in other species was never before discussed. So the main questions for our study were whether rocking affects sleep in mice and what is the possible system?Kompotis placed the mouse cages on a platform that moved from side to side.Though mice were rocked four times faster than their human counterparts—a frequency of one back-and-forth per second, or 1 Hertz, worked best—the results were strikingly similar. During rocking at 1 Hertz, time spent asleep increased, and mice fell asleep twice as fast as at still condition. However, additional studies could allow the researchers to identify a new aim for treating sleep disorders, including insomnia(失眠).Until then, you might think about adding a little swing to your nighttime routine.【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。

XX年高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案It is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as ahealth problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know whatto say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have beensuessful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesityrelated diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10thin obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be suessful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of thi s is that there's this mon belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are selfindulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time h aving a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their sueeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of being less heavy.4. Aording to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?The cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakadu is a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture thatexists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock artin the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritagestatus by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural andcultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Todaythose gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It ishard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the parkthrough the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As youenter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of .A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except .A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means .A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10.

Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showi ng where people store fat.Aording to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.Aording to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s munication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found .A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. Aording to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that .A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s lifefor keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means .A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD.a short distanceFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to bepublished in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments areeffective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker,clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists reme mber these suesses, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A xx study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance panies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because .A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ hel pD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to .A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will .A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance paniesC. work together with insurance panies to providebetter treatmentD. bee more reliable if insurance panies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C.

teenagers we had lost touch.By age 19,I couldn’t wait to move away from our home in Wisconsin to live on a farm in Virginia,where I worked as a vet assistant.Jeanne got married at 18,moved to Chicago,and became—well,I didn’t know what.We lived separate lives in separate states,and our connection somewhat ended.When I was 24,I was on a trip to New York City for sightseeing one day.I was crossing a very busy street loaded with people.Everyone was in a hurry.I had laughed at something and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me:“Cheryl!” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road.Tears welled up instantly in my eyes.I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne.I yelled before even turning to look,“Jeanne?”It was her.“Oh my God!” I screamed,and I began pushing people out of my way to get to her.The crowd started to part.We must have seemed crazy.And there we were,standing in the middle of a Manhattan street,facing each other and smiling.I couldn’t believe it.I later asked how she’d known it was me—she never saw me!She said it was my laugh.I wouldn’t say my laugh is all that unusual,but I guess to a family member it’s infectious.It hits your heart and resonates in your mind.Since that time,my sister and I have never been separated.We both moved back to Wisconsin.I see our sister-to-sister miracle as a lesson,a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones.It is too easy to remain lost.4.Why Jeanne and Cheryl were separated?A.Because they both grew up.B.Because they wanted to escape from the family.C.Because they were not willing to keep in touch.D.Because they hated each other very much.5.How did Jeanne recognize Cheryl in a crowd?A.By her laugh.B.By her talk.C.By her look.D.By her dress.6.What can we infer after these two sisters

guidebook.C.A novel.D.A magazine.CToday,China has conducted its first 3D printing experiment in space in a newly launched spacecraft,which was put into low-Earth orbit by China’s Long March 5B heavy-lift carrier rocket.Video broadcast on CCTV showed that the printer has printed a flat section of a honeycomb-shaped(蜂巢状的) structure as well as a symbol of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp,the parent company of the China Academy of Space Technology.The experiment was done by a 3D printer,developed and built by its Beijing Spacecrafts Manufacturing Factory,inside the prototype of China’s new-generation manned spacecraft.The printer,named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System,uses carbon fiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects.It is installed in the reentry module of the experimental spaceship,and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns.The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling,precision control and automation.Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready,it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to manufacture a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft.Wang Yanan,editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine,said the 3D printer will be very useful in extended space missions,such as those in a space station,because it will allow astronauts to make components quickly and conveniently in space.The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs.In fact,the device is not the only representative of 3D printing onboard the Prototype.A CubeSat deployer,designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology,is also carried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3D-printed equipment in space.CoSats Chief Operating Officer Bai Ruixue said the 3D-printed deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts and it will have huge potential in the space industry.8.What did the video broadcast on CCTV show to the audience?A.The process and the products of the 3D printing.B.The name and the shape of the 3D printer.C.The significance of the 3D printing technology.D.The relationship between the two companies.9.What if a component is broken in the space station now?A.It has to be sent by spaceship back to Earth for repair.B.The astronauts can fix it conveniently by hand on the spot.C.The astronauts can make one using 3D printing and replace it.D.It has to be unloaded and abandoned in space.10.What does the underlined “those” (Para.5) refer to?A.The 3D printers.B.The magazines.C.The space missions.D.Astronauts.11.Why is the last paragraph mentioned?A.To introduce the CubeSat deployer produced in space.B.To explain the advantages of 3D printing in space.C.To show the adaptability of 3D printing in space.D.To indicate a bright future of 3D printing in space.DFive years ago,Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱),making it difficult to use her left leg.The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming.Yellow-Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium inMystic,Connecticut.African penguins are an endangered species.They are beautiful,black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown,and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors.The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow-Purple from plastic.This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do.Yellow-Purple was getting along fine with her boot,but then Dr.Jen Flower,Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium,heard about 3D printing technology.She decided to use it to help better the boot.Luckily,Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education & Conservation,Kelly Marls,knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer.Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting.Sue Prince,Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School,and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed,and then contacted the supplier of their 3D printer,ACT Group.With ACT Group’s help,the students learned how to scan Yellow-Purple’s existing foot cast,and then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software.The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials,allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement,yet hard enough to support the injured tendon.The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow-Purple walking almost back to normal.It was a great way to put science into practice.Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow-Purple’s story on Facebook,inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views.12.What can we learn about African penguins?A.They are very large in number.B.They are dangerous species.C.They are beautiful when young.D.They are attractive to visitors.13.Who came up with the idea of an updated support boot?A.The ACT Group.B.Dr.Jen Flower.C.Kelly Matis.D.Sue Prince.14.What preparation work was done before the students got the ACT Group’s help?A.They reached school on time.B.They held a meeting to discuss the problem.C.They paid a visit to Yellow-Purple.D.They contacted the ACT Group for supplies.15.What is the best title for this text?A.The development of 3D printingB.A penguin benefiting from high-techC.An effort to put science into practiceD.A software that can designⅡ.阅读七选五Studying abroad is a worthwhile and often life-changing experience,but be sure

专题22 阅读理解（推理判断题）1.（2023·安徽安庆·安庆一中校考模拟预测）Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient 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-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters 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 impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall 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 varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?1．Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross's research findings?A．Accidental.B．Complete.C．Convincing.D．Doubtful.2．Who were the people taking part in the study?A．Middle school chemistry students.B．V olunteers from different universities.C．Professor Gross's own students.D．University student athletes.3．How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance?A．Making the students wear a special watch.B．Using students' university entrance test results.C．Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D．Using the students' normal test and quiz grades.4．Based on the study's findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A．A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test.B．A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C．A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D．A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C【分析】这是一篇说明文。

新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 2 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解2022·湖北四校联考Urban rewilding projects are attracting nature back into our cities, from creating city butterfly grasslands to building unlikely homes for deadly birds.The middle of London's busy West End doesn't seem like the likeliest location for one of the UK's rarest birds.There are only approximately 20－40 breeding pairs of black redstarts in the country.But in recent years, without being artificially introduced into the area, this rare bird has started to make a home in this crowded part of Central London.The black redstart isn't the only unexpected species of wildlife to start living in urban landscapes.Moths, butterflies, woodpeckers and even serotine bats, more commonly found in the countryside, have also been on the rise in this part of London.These changes are the result of increasing efforts to transform urban areas from wildlife dead­spots into attractive, practical homes for nature alongside citizens.One new initiative is even trying to get offices to keep bees.Urban rewilding initiatives often have multiple levels of benefit — greener spaces not only make people happier, but they also help solve water drainage (排水) problems and prevent flooding, as well as providing a home for bees and other animals.But perhaps one of their most valuable features is to make us feel more connected with nature and be more aware of our relationship with the environment.The long game is not just to build green compromises into existing city areas, but to shift what development looks like in a city.Until recent years, urbanisation has meant turning green areas grey with the concrete, asphalt and glass of traditional buildings.That transformation has unsurprisingly ended up being bad for our mental well­being, physical health, environment, ecosystems and wildlife.Rewilding is one way to completely change that process: prioritizing (按重要性排列) plants and animals first, and paving the way for the benefits to our health, well­being and the urban environment that follow.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
