We were three thousand miles away from home on a Random Acts of Kindness and Volunteerism Road Trip. We were short of money, so we had two goals today:1. Try out our new "Smile!" signs and see how much kindness and joy we could spread in Pike place Market.2. Raise at least 80 by doing street performances. Singing, drawing or storytelling. This would be enough for gas lo Portland and a small hotel room.We weren't sure how people would react to our signs. It's so easy to walk past a busy crowd, lost in your own world, refusing to make eye-contact with strangers, and feeling alone despite being surrounded by hundreds of people just like you. Finally, I gathered courage to raise our signs and shouted, "Hi here!" to a young couple. They looked over, confused for a moment, read my sign and broke into smiles. Then we saw more smiling faces in the crowd.Before long, our signs were wildly popular. Tourists wanted photos with us. Strangers stopped to ask us about our signs. We told them the story of our acts of kindness road trip and listened to their stories, too.Sometimes I'd see unfriendly faces and feel particularly to show them my bright sign. But I was always rewarded with a big smile whenever I did so. Suddenly they were no longer faces of strangers but those of neighbors and friends. This world is full of good people we just don't know yet. We got so wrapped up in our wonderful "Smile!" project that we forgot the other goal. Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and we had no money for our trip to Portland.We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. ________Our little band of five attracted a large audience. ________【答案】We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal. It seemed that it was tough to achieve. Now we didn't have much time to lose. Suddenly, a good idea flashed through my mind. I gathered my courage and walked straight toward the musician and asked him to do us a favor. To our great delight, he enthusiastically supported our money project and agreed to form a band with us. With an empty hat on the ground in front of us, we began our performance.Our little band of five attracted a large audience. We received a storm of applause. A gentleman in his fifties was the first to put some change into our hat. His act of kindness was soon followed by more donations. A little boy, holding his mom's hand, carefully dropped a coin and gave us the most beautiful smile in the world. Before it was dark we were sure we had made it. The amount of money gathered totaled 92. What a sweet victory! We thanked the musician and went on with our journey. In the depth of my heart, I would keep these heartwarming moments forever.【解答】We sat down to watch a musician play the guitar while we thought about our second goal.

BPWD is a startup company, where my workmates and I work our heads off, seeking solutions to various environmental problems. We are what people consider a group of promising young talents working in a promising industry. We are from different backgrounds but we all fit in well with the high-paced life and enjoy all the convenience that Salt Lake City can offer. We pride ourselves on all the differences we are making to this planet but our best subject for lunch break chat is what we do as volunteers to protect a lake called Lake Purilence.We first heard about the lake from my workmate, Bluto, who referred to it as his childhood paradise, where he used to fish, swim and cast pebbles(鹅卵石)with his friends. He described the lake area as one of the few places of wildness that had not been ruined by modern tourism. He had left the place for years since his parents sold their farm near the lake and moved to the city, but he still kept dreaming of going back. In his own words, he was "nature starved". Attracted by Bluto's description, the five of us working in the same office got on our way to it in October, 2019, taking advantage of a federal holiday.It was a place not only lesser known but also out of the way. We took a flight first and then rented two cars at the airport. We had to travel along backroads in rental cars to finally get there but the scenery was absolutely stunning. No wonder it was loved so dearly by Bluto. All the beautiful treesand the grass were covered with red and orange leaves and the quiet lake is like a mirror reflecting the golden rays of the sun. A short distance away, we could see a few other tourists taking pictures by the lake and some white birds flying up from the water and the patches of reed marshes(芦苇荡). Amazed by the scene, our hearts longed for a closer encounter with the lake.注意:1. 续写的词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。

I haven't been watching the news as much lately. The daily drumbeat of death, disease, and destruction has been starting to wear me down. Anytime I turned on the television, it seemed like the whole world was ready to end. But luckily and thankfully, it doesn't just show us all the news that is bad but also gives us daily reminders of kindness, caring, and love. This is perhaps the other aspect of life.I know all these things exist, but I am still full of worry and worry about everything around me, so I always hide myself in a corner and bear all the hardships brought by life alone.But today, I got one of these reminders just. I was taking my son to the local second-hand store so he could see if he could find some used CDs to add to his music collection. I parked the car and we both put on our mandatory(强制的)masks. I had gotten so used to it that by now it had almost become second nature. We walked into the store and I strolled over to the book section to see if I could find something for myself. I looked around and was both surprised and delighted to see a very elderly lady pushing a baby stroller(折叠式婴儿车). I soon found out the baby was her great-granddaughter and looked down at the little girl in her tiny pink dress. She was sleeping peacefully. I looked down at her innocent face and rememberedthe old saying. "A newborn is God's blessing that humanity should go on." I stared at the lovely girl for a long time, perhaps she sensed my presence, or perhaps at this moment we were unexplainably telepathic(心灵感应).注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。

Decision- making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.“Stress affects how people learn, ”says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about po sitive than negative outcomes under stress. ”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images (影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less a ccurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress—at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also less easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision- making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold- water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk- taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.1. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to .A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively2. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their .A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions3. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, .A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks【参考答案】1—3、AAD阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

As I'd feared, she had missed my real purpose of the question which was to make it clear to her that she hadn't done her job: defend my ________ against the invader﹣our naughty girl.

She insisted that I go with her to the window."In a second. Just let me finish this question." I said. She ________ me by the hand(two fingers, actually) toward the window.

I coaxed, pretending not to know what she wanted to do.【高分句型一】Hearing this, she reluctantly laid her shoes down and toddled towards the window. Like a mother caring for her baby, she stroked her doll tenderly as she hummed softly to him. Then I turned around and set to work again,pleased that my girl could concentrate on her doll.

I snapped, "Daddy is busy now!"(女儿在玩了一会玩具之后走到我身边让我陪她玩,我以忙为借口没有理她)Paragraph2:Out of the corner of my eye I could see the little girl sobbing because I didn't have time for her. I shook my head helplessly, unsure of what to do. HowI wished my wife would come back home and keep her company! After a few silent minutes, I stood up from the seat and slowly walked over to her,trying to comfort her, but she just wiped her eyes and looked away. "I'm sorry, sweetie!" I said gently, reaching out my hands. Out of my expectation, my girl threw herself in my arms and easily forgave my rudeness. Overjoyed, I decided to take a break from work, and went for an outing. Suddenly it dawned on me that the best way to be a good parent is to spend time with your kids.【高分句型二】(女儿生气哭了,过来一会我过去安慰她,她扑倒我的怀里马上原谅了我,我感慨应该放下工作好好陪陪孩子)第2题.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
武汉市2014高考英语阅读理解训练题(4)附答案I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards— was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about.9. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute(归因于) the author's failures to_____.A. the very fact that she is a womanB. her involvement in gender politicsC. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicistD. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society10. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.C. People's stereotyped attitude towards female scientists.D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture11. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?A. Female students no longer have to worry about gender issues.B. Her students' performance has brought back her confidence.C. Her female students can do just as well as male students.D. More female students are pursuing science than before.12. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A. Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation.B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.D. Women now have fewer discrimination problems about science career.(C篇)ACDC********************************************************结束社会生活类---[2012·上海卷](C)Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stressrelated disorders.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fightorflight” reaction to stress. In other words, ind ividuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fightorflight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurt uring their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and su pport from others—especially other females (“befriend”).Scientists have long known that in the fightorflight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the fe male tendorbefriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, D r. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stressrelated disorders such as high blood pressure o r aggressive behavior. The tendandbefriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.72. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to ________.A. turn to friends for helpB. solve a conflict calmlyC. find an escape from realityD. seek comfort from children73. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.74. What can be learned from the passage?A. Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How men and women get over stressB. How men and women suffer from stressC. How researchers overcome stress problemsD. How researchers handle stressrelated di sorders【要点综述】本文主要介绍男女对压力反应的区别和原因以及如何克服压力。

It' s never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold. We have many different ways of coping with the cold.We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter.But things are not as easy for plants Unlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat to keep themselves warm.So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?The cold is a big challenge for plants.Their living tissues can be damaged when they freeze.It's like a plant's equivalent(相等物)to frostbite(冻疮).Also,the process of freezing and thawing(解冻)can cause air bubbles to form in the plant's water transport system.If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant. To live through cold weather,plants have developed three strategies,Some plants,such as oak trees, avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves, before the winter chill sets in-effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves—and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns. Other plants, pine trees for example, protect them-selves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles.The third stratef;yi8 also the most extreme.Some plants; die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer.However, these smart strategies were developed \nmry8lowly-over millions of years of evolution.This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades.Scientists are hoping to find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change.1.What is the text mainly about?A.Different ways for people to keep warm.B.How plants live through the freezing winter.C.How plants develop the 8tratef;ies to keep warm*D.The ways to save plants from the cold,2.If the water transport from roots to leaves 18 blocked, .A.the plant will suffer from f'rostbiteB.air bubbles will be formedC.the plant's living tissues will be damagedD.the plant will be killed3.Oak trees protect themselves by .A.stopping the water transport from roots to leavesB.dropping their leaves to grow seedsC.slowing the flow of water from roots to leavesD.storing enough water in the roots4.What does the underlined phrase “sets i n” mean in Paragraph3?A.stops B.begins C.leaves D.returns5.What is the main idea of the last paragraphA.Plants can, easily adapt to climate change.B.Scientists are making efforts to save plants.C.Climates change is a great threat to plants.D.Plants are developing new strategies to survive.【参考答案】1—5、BDADC阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
(2013·合肥市二模,D)It is a tall tale that terrifies most young children. Swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested. An even worse tale is that swallowed gum can wrap itself around your heart.But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring. The gum base is pretty indigestible—it is a mixture of different ingredients (成分) that our bodycan't absorb.Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods. However, your digestive system has another way to deal with thingsyou swallow. After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut (肠子)and come out at the other end one or two days later.The saliva (唾液) in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soonas we put it in our mouths. It might get through the shell but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible. It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short timecan cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.文章大意:本文为一篇科普类说明文。
