Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The animals, to some extent, become tools to us.B. Although violence against zoo animals is often reported, the issue of animalwelfare has aroused little attention recently.C. By taking a selfie, you show that you're part of that experience.D. The comparison between caged animals and wild ones are appealing to people.E. Similar incidents are a regular occurrence in natural settings.F. The common factor is that some people are not respecting animal.of a Jaguar (美洲虎) enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona. The jaguar ripped into her arm. Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She's fine-so is the jaguar.This isn't the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines. Last year, a man jumped into a lion enclosure at a zoo for a close-up photo. Multiple tourists in Yellowstone National Park have been attacked by bison (野牛) whenthey've gotten too close for a photo.It's common sense not to get close to wild animals that can hurt you. It's why zoos have barriers -sometimes multiple walls-to keep people separated from animals. Signs posted everywhere state the obvious warning. Keep your hands off the cage."Yet animals have become less real to us," says an environmentalist. We see exotic animals most frequently in managed settings like zoos. People are trying to take advantage of their rarity to show off on social media and ignore their fierceness.Media often normalize interaction with dangerous animals. Seeing a man like "Lion Whisperer" Kevin Richardson regularly play-fight with lions on TV, may send the message that these animals aren't so dangerous after all.Social media are also perfectly positioned to contribute to the rise of animal selfies.Getting likes and comments provide instant satisfaction. Your self-esteem actually gets a temporary boost. To hold onto that feeling, people may go to more and more extremes to showcase the most exciting versions of themselves. It may not be enough to get a photo of a beautiful, dangerous animal from outside a cage.People's careless approach can put the animal's safety at risk as well. Zoo animals often must be killed to protect the person who's entered their space. In fact, thrill-seekers actively endanger the lives of animals. with the zoo environment, they take it for granted that animals are there for people, ignoring the fact that animals and humans are both equal existents in the nature.二、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

D.A story book.(二)During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”;4.

Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A.Relaxed. B.Started. C.Appeared suddenly. D.Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A.People became more inventive.B.People worked fewer hours per day.C.People worked fewer hours overall.D.People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A.he could produce more cars.B.they could spend money on cars.C.he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D.they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A.Because we start work later than we used toB.Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C.Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D.Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall. Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate. 15 Four ideas to try: a guided meditation with the help of an app; forest bathing-a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, which basically means taking a long walk or hik e in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or time cuddling and playing with your pet.16Why not prepare your favorite clothes for Monday? Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱). It’s also a good idea to get some nice coffee or music ready, which will give you something to look forward to on your Monday commute.A.Give yourself something to look forward on Monday.B.Even Sunday afternoons turn sour as we think of the workweek ahead.C.Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you come home from work. D.Therefore, starting a Sunday stress-relieving habit can begin a week feeling strong and focused.E.Try creating a relaxing and winding down Sunday night so that you can recharge and get ready for Monday.F.Taking on just a few of these simple tips every Sunday will help you launch a productive, less stressful week.G.Wailing until the last moment to do weekend chores like paying bills or doing laundry can leave you anxious and stressed on Sunday.三、完型填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations ar e actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.;6. What does the underlined wor d “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2? A.Confusing. B.Terrible. C.Controllable. D.Inspiring.;7. What problem may baby boomers face?A.A crisis after retirement. B.Being knocked out in the future. C.Failing to receive good healthcare. D.Tending to double their life expediencies.;8. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The features of high-tech jobs. B.The way out for baby boomers. C.Potential industries in the future. D.The importance of developing technology.;9. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?A.Have a good sense of crisis. B.Avoid retiring at an early age. C.Look for many part-time jobs. D.Improve digital literacy actively.BThe words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015.It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.Local officers explained t hat the black bear population(a)had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago ,the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf.This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow(鬣羚), a kind of protected animal.They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears.His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,”said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t put ei ther one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”;10. What does the underlined word “menace”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Tradition. B.Threat. C.Benefit. D.Relief.;11. Why did the Swiss government allow the locals to kill the wolf?A.The wolf killed a serow.B.The wolf was caught by the police.C.The wolf ate the plants the farmers grew.D.The wolf caused economic loss to local farmers.;12. Why did the author mention Zhou Weisen’s story in paragraph 4?A.To show that animal protection stops.B.To prove animal protection is important.C.To explain protecting animals can bring economic development.D.To stress that animal protection must give way to human interests.;13. Which of the following might Robert May agree with?A.Human interests should be considered first.B.We should focus on the future rather than the present.C.Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.D.Keeping the right balance between the environment and human interests is important.三、七选五阅读I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人),they always askme,“How do you do that?” Honestly, my answer will be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 14 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.15 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.16 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 17 The methods are various, but they make s ure it’s something enjoyable.I realized it’s actually how I learn. 18 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.A.How can those with little talent be fluent?B.But people are never happy with the reply.C.There’s no shortcut t o learning languages for anyone.D.One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.E.That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it.F.When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks.G.Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.四、语法填空Samuel Langhorne Clemens, more commonly 19 (know) as Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida. Twain is considered 20 greatest author and humorist of the 19th-century American literature (文学).In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where he was brought 21 . Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices22 he worked as a youth. In 1853 Twain left Hannibal to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot 23 (teach) him his skill. By the spring of 1859 Twain was a licensed riverboat pilot.After a(n) 24 (success) attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name Mark Twain in 1863.He continued to travel as a reporter for various newspapers, and in 1869 his travel letters from Europe 25 (collect) into the popular book The Innocents Abroad. Between 1873 and 1889 he wrote seven novels 26 (include) his Mississippi River books.27 Twain’s life and career progressed he lost much of the humorous style of his earlier years. What was expressed more and more in his later works was 28 human beings are selfish. Even so Twain is best remembered as a great humorist.五、读后续写29. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, ripping off roofs, knocking out transmission lines, flooding roads, and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble. At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana. Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans, but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there, thanks in part to the $ 14.5 billion spent on new levees, seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm. Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast, as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care. ICUs in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity be- fore the storm hit. Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana, and authorities waned it could be weeks before electricity is restored. “If you have already evacuated,” said Gov. John Bel Edwands, “do not return here.”;10. Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?A.Mild. B.Destructive. C.Uncontrollable. D.Impressive.;11. What does the underlined words “the toll” mean in Paragraph 1?A.The death number. B.The heat wave.C.The wind speed. D.The citywide blackout.;12. What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable?A.The entire island is covered with sand. B.It is one of the low-lying communities.C.The residents there can't wait to leave. D.Over half of its buildings were in ruins.;13. What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov. John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana?A.Ambitious B.Undoubted. C.Indifferent. D.Unconfident.CPangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a u nique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especiallyAfri can communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.14. What is the purpose of the documentary?A.To study the situation of pangolins.B.To collect fund to protect pangolins.C.To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D.To propose setting up pangolin reserves.15. What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2?A.Picky. B.Messy.C.Showy. D.Heavy.16. What’s the documentary mainly about?A.The illegal trade of pangolins.B.The medical function of pangolin's scales.C.The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D.The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.17.

You take a selfie (拍照) .But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ,and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital.” Levasseur says.Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的) on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.4. What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim?A.It hardly makes any sense. B.It revolutionizes astronautics.C.It contradicts public opinions. D.It needs to be further proved.5. Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?A.To lighten the load of the spaceship.B.To test cameras under extreme conditions.C.To prepare for the next stage of spaceexploration.D.To take more pictures in space by remote control.6. What advanced space camera technology?A.The invention of new filmsB.The fear of falling behind in the space raceC.The concern about the loss of valuable dataD.The popularity of space selfies on socia media7. What is the best title for the text?A.The Exploration of Space.B.The History of Selfies in Space.C.The Change in Space Camera Technology.D.The Development in Space Technology.CIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. I’ve got a good horse under me.”The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That’s where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman’s signal, each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.8. The author mentions the joke to show .A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.the Chicago people were particularly humorousC.Chicago was very dangerous in the springD.Chicago’s streets were extremely muddy9. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to .A.lift the level of streets with pipes B.lower the Chicago River by drainsC.build pipes to fight against heavy floods D.get rid of the street dirt through pipes10. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A.It separated the building from its foundation.B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D.It went on smoothly as intended.11. The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s .A.popular life styles and their influencesB.environmental disasters and their causesC.engineering problems and their solutionsD.successful businessmen and their achievements二、七选五阅读Different Approaches to Reducing Food WasteFood plays a key role in people’s life. While many people in poor communities (社区) suffer from a shortage of food, a large amount of food is wasted in the rest of the world. 12 Here are some tips on how to reduce food waste.Learn to store food. Not sure how to keep those greens from wilting (蔫) overnight? Can’t keep your tomatoes fresh for more than a day or two? Do your research on food storage and you’ll get the rewards. Not sure where to start? 13Use it all. 14 For example, leave the skin on carrots and potatoes (The skins actually have a ton of valuable nutrients!), save the beet greens for a salad, and don’t throw away the outer skin of oranges!15 Many fruits and vegetables are thrown away because they aren’t “pretty” enough. Buying food that comes in a different shape, size or colour helps use up food that might be given up.Understand best-before dates correctly. People often confuse best-before dates with expiry dates (有效期). The best-before date has nothing to do with the safety of the food. 16 So while the taste may not be that good, many food items are still safe to eat for many days beyond the best-before date.A.It refers to flavour (味道) and nutritional value, which is of great help to your body.B.Therefore, food waste is a serious problem that needs our attention.C.Check out Local Produce Storage Guide online.D.Pick the “funny looking” food.E.You often remove a part of whatever food you’ re cooking with, but often those food items can be saved.F.Keep a “need to eat” list everyday in your daily life.G.This will save you time in the long run.三、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月30日晚,限时:不超过65-70分钟】一、阅读理解(一)Located in the tropical forests in Xishuangbanna, southwest China’s Yunnan province, the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center (AEBRC) is dedicated to giving careful and effective protection to wild elephants.Though the jungles provide rich sources of food and water for the elephants, they can also pose a threat to them if they become ill or injured, making it difficult for them to survive in the wild.In August 2015, a baby elephant that was less than one month old was abandoned by her herd at the d oorway of a farmer’s house in Simiao, Pu’er city. Vets from the AEBRC came and took the animal to their center for treatment. She was found to have intra-abdominal infections and heart failure. She was also at risk of blood poisoning.The baby elephant finally recovered after proper treatment by the keepers at the center. However, without the presence of her mother, she became malnourished (营养不良) due to a lack of breast milk. At that time, she weighed only 76 kilograms, much smaller than an average newborn elephant. The vets decided to feed her goat milk, and as she was born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, the elephant was named Yang Niu (“Yang” is Chinese for goat, and Niu means girl). The elephant is now about 6 years old, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1.3 tonnes.Currently, there are 11 rescued Asian elephants living at the center and being cared for by 27 keepers, who spend more than 10 hours with them each day. Thanks to these efforts, the population of Asian wild elephants in the province has reached 300 from 150 over the past 30 years.The local government has designated (指派) a place as a source of food for the elephants so that they do less damage to villagers’ crops while looking for food. They’ve also monitored the elephants using technologies such as drones to keep track of their activities and prevent encounters between villagers and the elephants. The local government has also purchased commercial insurance for residents to compensate them if the elephants attack them.;1. What can be a threat to elephants’ survival according to the text?A.Lack of food sources. B.Illegal hunting.C.Physical problems. D.Destruction of forests.;2. What does the example of a baby elephant stress?A.The recovery of Yang Niu.B.The efforts made by keepers.C.The risks facing baby elephants.D.The importance of mother elephants.;3. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?A.The number of elephants endangered.B.The urgency of rescuing wild elephants.C.A steady growth of elephant population.D.A rising trend of animal overprotection.;4. Why has the government designated a place for elephants?A.To keep track of their activities.B.To prevent them from damaging crops.C.To save them the trouble of looking for food.D.To ensure the growth of the elephant population.(二)No one can resist the temptation (诱惑) of snacks. But at the same time, you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains. What would happen if you had a bag of crisps (炸薯片) a day? Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6. 35 kg after a year, The Times reported.People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks, with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year. A survey of around 2 ,000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have. One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight. At the same time, many people didn’t seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks. When it came to snacks, people struggled, with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average, almost half the true figure of 447.Can’t we resist buying snacks? The food environment is to blame. Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health, we can’t help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don’t always blame yourself for poor self- control, and supermarket shelves also have to carry this “pot” half.Hugo Harper, head of Nesta’s health team, said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed. to be changed, He said,“Our environment has a real impact on what we eat, from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what ‘s available in our local corner shops.Hugo added,“If we had fewer cues to snacks, or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks, we should be able to see real change.”New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt in big shops.;5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A.List some reasons. B.Introduce the topic.C.Put up an argument. D.Raise a question.;6. What can we know from the survey?A.One in ten people cut 200 calories a day.B.Many people knew how many snacks they ate.C.No one knew the calories the snacks contained.D.Most people lacked the awareness of snacks’ impact.;7. What may cause people to buy more snacks according to the text?A.The food environment. B.Living conditions. C.Consumption ability. D.Supermarket management.;8. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A.A packet of crisps contains many caloriesB.People can resist the temptation of snacksC.The harm of snacks is beyond your imaginationD.2,000 adults got involved in a consumption survey二、七选五阅读Have you had a talk with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Oh, perhaps you fail to focus while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. 9 : TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.But how can we listen more effectively? 10 . Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “It’s time for mindful listening to come in. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.”11 ? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. 12 . By doing so, we can understand a situation from someone else’s point of view. After all, we often see the world through our own experiences. Finally, listen to our own cues. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can hold back ideas and perspe ctives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues. 13 .In conclusion, the rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t l et other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.A.Then think in others’ shoesB.Researchers seem to have got itC.How can we deal with mindful listeningD.Modem life is actually full of distractionsE.But how can we apply mindful listening to our lifeF.Next, reflect on the experience you’ve gone throughG.Besides, it allows us to choose not to let them ruin communication三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

What if we could somehow enjoy their taste withoutactually eating them? A student team has now designed a spoon with a structure that stimulates taste buds (味蕾) to produce a sense of sweetness without adding calories or chemicals. The project follows previous work involving favor - enhancing cutlery like chopsticks that increase sweetness with a mild electric current.The five undergraduate and graduate research students wanted to create a new spoon called Sugarware for people with such disorders as diabetes, with which sugar is largely off their menu.The new spoon would have several bumps (凸起) on its underside to press against the tongue. The bumps can be covered with a per manent layer of molecules (分子) called ligands. These ligands bond with taste – cell receptor proteins that typically react to sugar molecules or artificial sweeteners. The bond can activate nerve signals, causing the brain to register a sense of sweetness. A diner could thus stimulate sweetness receptors without actual intake of sugar or artificial sweeteners.This idea is similar to the previous work in that they all use cutlery to enhance taste without a user having to actually consume any sugar. “But th e mechanism for stimulating the taste buds is completely different,” Shiyu Xu, one of the student researchers, says, “It uses bumps and taste - bud - stimulating molecules rather than electricity.”The idea is “very creative,” says Paola Almeida, who is th e global director of corporate innovation at candy maker Mars. But the product’s commercial success would require a significant behavioral shift among consumers: instead of adding the usual sugar or artificial sweeteners, “now we’re saying, ‘Use this cutlery,’” Almeida says, “It remains to be seen whether favor - enhancing cutlery will catch on.”;4. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How the new invention works. B.How a diner feel sweetness.C.How ligands and proteins link. D.How sugar molecules function.;5. In what way is the previous flavor - enhancing cutlery different from Sugarware?A.It makes food more delicious. B.It sends out signals to the brain.C.It uses electricity to enhance taste. D.It reduces users’ food consumption.;6. What is Pa ola Almeida’s attitude to the future of Sugarware?A.Positive. B.Uncertain. C.Critical. D.Worried.;7. What’s the best title of the text?A.Struggling for Low Sugar? — Try This SpoonB.Looking for Delicious Food? — This is HowC.Working for Commercial Success? — Be CreativeD.Dieting for Better Health? — Mind SweetenersCThose concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy-for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for prime time. At least that appears to be the case at Japan’s cutting-edge Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff is being replaced by humans.The first Henn-na Hotel opened in July 2015, where guests were greeted and checked-in by either a family-friendly English-speaking dinosaur robot or a Japanese-speaking humanoid. Autonomous robots stood ready to help guests carry luggage to their rooms, while a cute doll-shaped android called Churi, placed inside each room, providedthem with information about nearby attractions. Even the hotel’s garbage cans were robotic.Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw — its employees — are becoming less of a novelty (新颖) and more of a bother. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair and maintain. Earlier this month, the hotel chain’s parent company H. I. S. announced that i t had decided to “fire” over half of the robot employees and replace them with humans. Among them are the chain’s two robot receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports-a requirement when checking into a Japanese hotel--forcing human employees to step in each time. Also, out are the cute Churi robots, which have proved unable to answer even the simplest questions and annoyed guests by interrupting their conversations.While this is a setback, the co mpany’s officials are not discouraged. They plan to continue with their ambitious expansion plans and believe the human-robot interaction is a learning process.“When you actually use robots, you realize there are places where they aren’t needed.” said one of the officials.8. What could robots in the first Henn-na Hotel do?A.Offer guests traffic information. B.Help guests pack their luggage. C.Greet guests in English or Japanese. D.Direct guests to check in at the front desk.9. What’s one of the problems of the “fired” robots?A.They cause trouble to customers. B.They ignore instructions.C.They annoy human employees. D.They are beyond repair.10. What can be inferred about the officials of Henn-na Hotel chain?A.They think highly of their interaction with customers.B.They are against the use of state-of-art equipment.C.They plan to hire more cute Churi robots.D.They’ve realized the limitations of robots.11.

A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.;4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA.Loss of forests. B.Puerto Rico’s location.C.Human activity.

Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA.To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B.To raise money for all the diabetics.C.To advertise for her hometown. D.To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A.The reactions and concerns of others. B.The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C.The variation of her glucose levels. D.The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA.Colorful. B.Cautious.C.Artistic. D.Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A.Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B.We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C.Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D.Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A.Can I change my mindB.Is my major time-consumingC.It’s your specialized area of study in college.D.Most students find one major is more than enough.E.Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F.The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G.Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

There are more and more apps providing help for students.PhotomathThe new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a step-by-step solution. A Photomath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the app causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why? It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.Price: FreeiHomework 2Whether you’re a high school student or a college student, there’s one thing you’ve got for sure: a lot of schoolwork. iHomework 2 can hep you keep track of all your homework.

D.It raises some concern.BOn Monday, a scientist and doctor Robert Winston is to formally ask a question in congress about what assessments the government has made “for requiring adults riding bicycles in city centres to heave a licence and third-party insurance”. The letter below is the entirely imagined response I would like the government to make to him.Dear Robert,You ask what assessments we’ve made for your proposal about obliging cyclists to have licences and insurance. The brief answer is: none. Nor do we have any plans to do so.Why? Again, the short answer is this: it’s a silly and pointless thing to suggest, as evidenced by the fact that practically no countries or territories anywhere in the world require cyclists to be licensed, or to have compulsory insurance.I suppose it’s only fair if I explain why I think it is such a non-issue. It’s pretty simple: such a plan would achieve pretty much nothing, while causing significant problems. More widely, any sensible governments will do everything in their power to get more people cycling, not to put pointless obstacles in their way.Let’s just take one example. As I’m sure you know as a doctor, one of the problems facing our nation is that the National Health System is likely to collap se under the caring for an increasingly overweight population. Inactive living is central to this. Even a fairly brief daily bike trip can have miraculous benefits for people’s health.Next, how would such rules even work? Would the licensing and insurance be just for adults, or also children? How would the system even be enforced-would it also require all bikes to be registered with number plates?Finally, what would you hope to achieve by this? If you believe licensing transport users stops wrongdoing, can I point to you the data showing how a third of drivers admit to using handheld phones while driving, despite the law forbidding it.So, to summarize:your plan would be to introduce a hugely new administrative scheme that would most likely have limited effect on the behaviour of averagely law-abiding (守法的) transport users who rarely harm others, while putting people off from this beneficial type of transport.I’m afraid I just don’t get it.4. What does Robert most probably want to know by asking the quest ion?A.whether the government has made efforts regarding his proposal.B.whether each bike rider has applied for a third-party insurance.C.whether the congress has sympathy towards the cyclists.D.whether doctors can receive the government’s support.5. What does the author think of the plan proposed by Robert?A.It may raise people’s insurance awareness.B.It can motivate people to obey the law.C.It imitates what other countries are doing.D.It is difficult to implement and enforce.6. The example in paragraph 6 is used .A.to draw people’s attention to overweight problemsB.to prove that cycling can cause problemsC.to explain why governments advocate cyclingD.to illustrate how broken the NHS is7. We can conclude from the passage that the author .A.holds prejudices against Robert WinstonB.is a pleasant and good-tempered personC.has the right to speak for the governmentD.is skilled in argumentative techniquesCMany children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffer ing,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.”“During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington.The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-associatio n exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling g roup said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.“I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll.8. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children .A.feel that they are placed into the world of a storyB.fire up their imagination and expand their horizonsC.have more empathy with the characters in the storiesD.experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization9. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about .A.the application of the research B.the purpose of the researchC.the limitation of the research D.the process of the research10. How does the author present the findings of the research?A.By making comparisons. B.By giving definitions.C.By presenting examples. D.By analyzing cause and effect.11. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group?A.A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick.B.A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.C.A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.D.A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine.二、七选五阅读How to Adjust to a New SchoolSchool is a base for students, where they learn to succeed. 12 When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don't know anyone.

高三英语晚自习限时训练【阅读理解+七选五+语法填空+应用文写作+读后续写】一、阅读理解AChester is one of the best cities in the UK. As soon as you arrive in Chester you will appreciate the city’s unique atmosphere and sense of history. Founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago, much of the Roman influence remains and Chester’s city walls ar e the most complete in Britain. Combined with history and heritage(遗产), Chester is a dynamic city full of bars, pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants for you to discover, tempting you to visit again and again.Travelling to Chester?Chester is easily accessible by many means of transport — whether you are travelling by rail, car, bus or plane. Please check our route planner below to help you plan your journey to Chester. Onceyou arrive in the city there are numerous car parks; however, during rush hours the easiest way to travel in Chester city centre is via park and ride facilities, which are parking lots with public transportation.Hotels?From bed & breakfasts to the luxury of Chester’s only five star hotel, Chester has all covered. Whether your trip is for business or pleasure your room is just a click away!Sightseeing and Tours?One of the best ways to see Chester is by a guided tour and you have a variety to choose from. Whether you choose the traditional guided walk, to be guid ed around Chester’s historical landmarksby bus or to take a boat down the River Dee, you will sure enjoy the delights of Chester.1. What can we know about Chester from the first paragraph?A.It is a newly built city.B.It is the best city in the UK.C.It is rich in the deep culture and modern touch.D.Many of its city walls were completed by British people.2. What is the most convenient way to get around Chester city centre during rush hours?A.By bus. B.By bicycle.C.By rail. D.By taxi.3. What had you better do to have a better understanding of Chester?A.Choose a bus tour. B.Join a guided tour.C.Take a traditional walk. D.Swim down the river.BWalk into any waiting area and you will see people of all ages on the phone. It is rare to see people sitting and simply thinking while waiting for the next part of the day or night. We have also observed people playing with their mobile phones while having dinner with others or in the presenceof their families. It seems that everyone is experiencing FOMO (fear of missing out) or a strong addiction to electronic devices.Why do adults, middle school students, and even young children turn to electronics while waiting?A recent study by Hatano et al. (2022) found that in different cultures people underestimate how enjoyable and attractive simply thinking might be. In a series of studies on university students in both Japan and the United Kingdom, the participants rated their level of expected enjoyment and engagement in simply thinking and then rated their actual level of enjoyment and participation in thinking after the waiting period. During the waiting period, the participants only had the option to think. They were not allowed to take electronics into the waiting area. The participants were not necessarily happy about thinking. Instead, they underestimated the benefits related to thinking and thought that thinking was aversive before the waiting period, which only allowed thinking without electronic products. After this waiting period, they admitted that thinking was more interesting and easier than expected.Thinking can include problem-solving, goal-setting, and a variety of other creative tasks. These outcomes can be extremely productive and satisfying. Perhaps it is time for parents and educators to teach chil dren about the importance of paying attention to one’s thoughts. We need to be better role models and put down our own phones when there is an opportunity to simply wait and think. We need to provide these opportunities for both ourselves and our children.;4. What’s the purpose of the author describing the scene about people’s using electronics?A.To introduce the importance of electronics.B.To tell what bad influences electronics have.C.To voice his views on thinking while waiting.D.To explain why we should have better ways of communication.;5. What does the underlined word “aversive” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Satisfactory. B.Boring. C.Worried. D.Meaningful.;6. What should parents and educators do according to the text?A.Provide opportunities for children.B.Pick up the phones while waiting.C.Underestimate the benefits of thinking.D.Tell children about the significance of thinking.;7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Why should we put our phones down?B.How can electronic products affect us?C.How do we think freely by using phones?D.Why does thinking while waiting make people smart?CIn the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular (心血管的) mortality (死亡率).Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and lower mortality is obvious. Between 1990 and 2019, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with mortality due to cardiovascular, respiratory (呼吸的) or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results showed that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates were lower. This connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.Furthermore, the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: The reduction in mortality rate connected with trees planted 11 to 15 years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past 1 to 5 years. This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in mortality, and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important for public health. This study doesn’t provide a direct opinion into how trees improv e health. However, the result that larger trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is telling, because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution, moderating temperatures, and reducing noise.“We observed the effect both in green and l ess green neighborhoods, which suggests that street tree planting benefits both,” said Geoffrey H. Donovan, first author of the study. “Be-sides, the benefits of tree planting greatly outweigh (大于) the cost. Our results provide an important evidence-base f or clear measures (e. g. planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people.”;8. How long did it take Friends of Trees to plant 49,246 street trees?A.5 years. B.10 years. C.15 years. D.30 years.;9. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3?A.Women gain no benefit from trees.B.Tree planting can cure respiratory diseases.C.Older trees contribute more to public health.D.Newly planted trees can better improve public health.;10. What does Donovan suggest doing?A.Protecting trees in forests. B.Planting more street trees.C.Joining Friends of Trees. D.Getting more benefits from nature.;11. How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?A.By listing numbers. B.By stating results.C.By describing processes. D.By raising questions.二、七选五阅读Is it time to ditch sugar?It’s no secret that sugar can cause issues if you’re indulging (放任) in a little too much of the sweet stuff. Still, most Americans are eating too much sugar. The harmful effects it can have on your physical health are well studied. 12 .Sugar can affect your moodYou probably turn to a doughnut (甜甜圈) or soda for an extra boost during a long day. Yet sugar may not be such a positive pick-me-up after all. Recent research indicates that sugary treats have no positive effect on mood. 13 .One study published in 2017 found that consuming a diet high in sugar can increase the chances of mood disorders. A more recent 2019 study found that regular consumption of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) and added sugars were related to higher feelings of anxiety in adults over age 60.14It’s hard to avoid reaching for comfort foods, especially after a difficult day. But the cycle of consuming sugar to manage your emotions may only make your feelings of sadness, tiredness, or hopelessness worse. Multiple studies have found a link between diets high in sugar and depression.15 . These can lead to depression and may even increase the long-term risk of developing a mental health disorder in some people.Sugar destroys your brain powerEmerging research has found that diets high in sugar can damage cognitive functioning, even in the absence of extreme weight gain or too much energy intake. A 2015 study found that consuming high levels of sugar-sweetened drinks made neurocognitive functions like decision making and memory worse. 16 . But a more recent study found that healthy volunteers in their 20s scored worse on memory tests and had poorer appetite control after just 7 days of eating a diet high in saturated fat and added sugars.Although more studies are needed to solidify the effects on mental health of sugar consumption, it’s important to consider how diet can affect your well-being.A.Sugar can weaken your ability to deal with stressB.Granted, the research was done on ratsC.Overconsumption of sugar triggers imbalances in certain brain chemicalsD.Sugar can increase your risk for developing depressionE.In fact, sugar may have the opposite effect over timeF.However, the effect on mental health is worth taking a second lookG.If you’re dying for sweets, here’s what to eat instead三、语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
高三英语晚自习限时练习一、阅读理解(本大题共3小题)AIf you are planning a tour to France, September is one of the best choices. Not only will you get to enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm weather, but the tourist season is beginning to wind down-which means cheaper airfares, lower prices at hotels, and fewer crowds. If this is your first trip to France , here is some handy information to help you!Visiting MuseumsMany museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to adapt to the extra tourists from home and abroad, and some museums also have extended opening hours into September. Wandering around the Louvre(卢浮宫)will take you into a wonder world, where you can enjoy world- famous art. Going out of the Louvre, you can walk to the modem and fashionable Chumps Elysees to do some shopping.Taking a Cruise(乘船游览)The temperatures are slightly lower, but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France. Willi such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year, nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge.Wine TastingSeptember is the beginning of the grape harvest season in France meaning there are plenty of wine- related events and festivals around the country. So September is a great time to visit the vineyards(葡萄园) around the country and go wine tasting. The Bordeaux, Loire and Burgundy regions are all lovely and great places to visit vineyards. Besides that, going to the castles of the Loire region between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable.Besides the above, riding a bike through France's villages is also a welcome activity for young visitors in September. So, don't hesitate and start to plan your September trip to France now.1. When do many French museums extend their opening hours?A.In Jan. & Feb.. B.In Apr. & May .C.In Aug. & Sep.. D.In Nov. & Dec..2. Where should you go if you want to visit both vineyards and castles?A.Bordeaux. B.Loire. C.Burgundy. D.Champs Ely sees.3. How do you like France in September?A.Warm but crowded. B.Cool but much noisy.C.Cold and less noisy. D.Sunny and less crowded.BAlice Roosevelt Longworth was the daughter of one of America’s most beloved presidents, Theodore Roosevelt. She was also a writer who was famous for giving high-society parties and being one of Washington, DC’s biggest gossips. On the sofa in herliving room, there was an embroidered cushion (绣花靠垫) which read, “If you can’t say anythi ng nice about someone, come sit next to me.”If Alice were still alive today (she died in 1980 at the age of 96), she would feelright at home with modern social media... at least the worst parts of it. Platforms such as WeChat and Weibo have become places where Internet troll and bullies hang around, spreading gossip and insults(侮辱), and causing real harm to people, especially young people. This phenomenon of social media bullying (cyberbullying) is a worldwide problem. In February, United Nations Internat ional Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) declared a special day, Safer Internet Day, to raise awareness of the problem and to discuss ways to solve it. According to the organization, as many as 20 percent of young people say that they have been bullied online. And the effects of this bullying can be destructive, leading to lower grades, lower self-esteem, depression and even suicide. UNICEF’s Henrietta Fore says that the Internet has become “a kindness desert”.Closer to home, a study of Chinese high school students found that 58 percent had been bullied, and 38 percent had bullied someone either at school or on the Internet. “They spread rumors about you or defame you in order to isolate or marginalize(排斥) you,” says psychologist Zhou Zhonghui. “It is hard for people that age to bear, and it makes them depressed.”There are laws in China against cyberbullying, and offenders can be fined and have their accounts shut down. In fact, everyone can take steps to stop the bullying. First, don’t be silent. If you are being bullied, don’t hesitate to tell your parents and teachers. Second, think before you post. Is your comment kind or hurtful? Would you like someone to say the same thing about you? Would you like your mother to read your comment? Alice Roosevelt Long worth’s cushion was a humorous re-working of an old piece of wisdom: If you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all. By following that wisdom, you can make flowers bloom in the “kindness desert”.;4. By mentioning Alice Roosevelt Longworth in the first paragraph, the author intendsto .A.compare her to her fatherB.present the topic of cyberbullyingC.describe her achievementsD.recognize her way of life;5. What is Henrietta Fore’s tone when he discusses the Internet?A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Objective. D.Critical.;6. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A.A majority of Chinese high school students have bullied others.B.Cyberbullying caused great harm to teenagers.C.Cyberbullying is no longer unique to Chinese students.D.A number of Chinese high school students feel depressed.;7. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage?A.The victims of cyberbullying.B.The solutions to cyberbullying.C.The consequences of cyberbullying.D.The causes of cyberbullying.CNatural silence — the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you — is becoming increasingly scarce. The noise of man-made can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.This is having some troubling effects. In humans, noise pollution has been linked to physical, mental health problems and cognitive impairment (认知功能障碍) in children. In wildlife,it’s disturbing navigation, pairing, communication and can cause hearing loss. “We’re losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution,” says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen. He’s part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International, which aims to identify and preserve the planet’s last quiet places.Recently, this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota. No cars, motor boats, electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the one-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status. But listening back to the recording, Mikkelsen can hear the low hum (嗡鸣声) of a commercial plane flying far away.Quiet Parks hasn’t yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria —it’s one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring. The te am will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.In recent years, the world has been getting louder, with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of noises from cars, airplanes or ships. But during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), there has been momentary delay.In2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half. Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lock downs were carried out.“People enjoyed the silence,” says Mikkelsen. “There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren’t on the street. It was an incredible thing to be able to hear the world, all of a sudden, free from noise pollution,” he says. Since the start of the pandemic, Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge increase in interest for quiet places. “I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,” says Mikkelsen, “and appreciate the spots we have, where we can go and not experience noise pollut ion.”;8. What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean in paragraph 1?A.Special. B.Rare. C.Common. D.Typical.;9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Causes of hearing loss.B.Tips on protecting the nature.C.Harmful effects of noise pollution.D.Unidentified problems from human beings.;10. What will Matt Mikkelsen’s team analyse according to the text?A.The sound recordings. B.Global air travels.C.Quiet Parks’ criteria.D.Data of the pandemic.;11. Where is the text probably taken from?A.A book review. B.A travel guide.C.A business plan. D.A science report.二、七选五阅读How to learn Wing Chun(咏春)Wing Chun is a style of kung fu that emphasizes close fighting, quick punches(击拳)and tight defense to overcome opponents.

But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always donefor him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know?”In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.;4. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?A.The East and the West are very different in most aspects.B.Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.C.The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013. D.In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.;5. What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore?A.Their parents’ expectations.B.Their personal wish.C.The home environment. D.The traditional culture and housing prices.;6. What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out? A.Confused. B.Positive. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.;7. What is the best title for the text?A.Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their ParentsB.Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social CustomsC.Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to IndependenceD.Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing PricesCEradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s continuous problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snacklovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, wher e Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use materials from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to make a sleepi ng bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “not allowed water to enter, not heavy, and not difficult to carry around,” Oleita said. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800, 000 chip bags and created 110 sleeping bags since last December.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of achieving a better life-and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita stated, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”8. What’s the aim of the Chip Bag Project?A.To draw the snack lover’s attention to the homeless.B.To change the chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless.C.To recycle the garbage to remove the poverty for the country.D.To help solve the environmental pollution caused by chip bags.9. What can we learn from Para. 2?A.Chip eaters can place the empty bags wherever they want.B.Eradajere Oleita collects the empty chip bags independently.C.The sleeping bags are tough but not easy to carry around.D.The procedure of making a sleeping bag needs masses of chip bags.10. What does the words mean by Oleita in Para. 3?A.The environmental issues should be stressed.B.Poverty should be lifted out of the homeless.C.The Chip Bag Project will impact the society and environment.D.The Chip Bag Project will be devoted to achieving a better life.11. What can be inferred from the text?A.Chip bags are always used to help the homeless.B.Chip bags are only useful in addressing the environmental problems.C.The issues of environment and poverty will be stressed in the future. D.Environmental injustice and poverty are disconnected with each other.二、七选五阅读It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believethe good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 12Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one ofthe many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that. Sometimes you see very nice clothes, but they don’tfit you because of your body size. 13Doing exercise keeps you thinking quickly at all times. It’s a perfect way of developing the strength of your mind. 14 Besides, there is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. The release(释放)of dopamine (多巴胺) when doing exercise changes their feelings for the better. 15 Run around the blocks each morning, jog or lift weights and see how much good doing exercise does to your m ind.The good of doing exercise every day is endless, but a lot of people pay no attention to it and finally develop lifestyle-related illnesses later in life. So taking exercise is very important and some of the results of not taking exercise are very serious.16 Having fitness goals that mean something to you will help you keep a strict fitness schedule and achieve the result you want. Besides, using fitness trackers, you can monitor your general physical activity and find out whether you have mad e progress.A.Then why is it important to stay fit?B.How can you drive yourself to exercise?C.Setting high goals for exercise is very important.D.Everyone hopes to live a relaxing and comfortable life.E.So keeping your body active improves the work of your brain.F.Fitness exercise will help you lose extra fat and be in great shape.G.Maybe not having enough exercise is the reason for your easy anger.三、完型填空I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧场). He has let me use his 17 to raise money for poor students. 18 I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a boy who was the son of a poor horse trainer.”One day the boy was 19 to write a paper about what he wanted to do whenhe grew up. He wrote a paper describing his 20 of someday owning a horse ranch. Two days later he 21 his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with a note 22 , “See me after class.”The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is a(n) 23 dream for a young boy like you. You have no coins. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teac her added, “Ifyou 24 rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will 25 your grade.” The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. Finally, the boy 26 thesame paper, making no 27 at all. He said, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 28 .”Having told the story, Monty said, “I tell you this story 29 you are sitting on my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper 30 over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is t hat the same teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.”When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练一、阅读理解AThere was ice on the road, and the doctor's car hit a tree and turned over three times. To his surprise, he was not hurt. He got out of the car and walked to the nearest house. He wanted to telephone the garage for help. The door was opened by one of his patients." Oh, Doctor," she said, "I have only just telephoned you. You must have a very fast car. You have got here very quickly indeed. There has been a ver y bad accident on the road outside. I saw it through the window. I am sure the driver will need your help."1. Which of the following was the cause of the accident?A.Careless driving B.A tree had fallen across the road.C.A slippery road. D.There was a thick fog.2. The doctor went to the house because .A.he knew one of his patients lived thereB.he had received a call to go thereC.he wanted to use the telephoneD.he was injured and could walk no further3. Why did the woman patient telephone the doctor?A.She needed medical treatment.B.She believed somebody else needed a doctor.C.To ask how quickly the doctor could come.D.To ask whether the doctor was coming on his regular visit.B“Did you forget your name?” someone asked me at a networking e vent a few years ago after it took me almost a minute to say it. “No, I stutter (口吃),” I politely replied. This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset.I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide. It was the first time I’d met so many other professionals who stutter—lawyers, doctors, actors, etc.—all in one place. To my surprise, everyone spoke without fear or embarrassment. In fact, they were proud. Stuttering was celebrated. That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay.The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-wo rkers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encouragesthem to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them.Don’t get me wrong. It’s stil l frustrating when I know exactly what I want to say but I just can’t seem to get the words out of my mouth. But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.;4. By saying “I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it”, the author means .A.he was once an outgoing personB.he regretted talking about his stutteringC.he used to avoid opening up about his stutteringD.he was unwilling to receive comments on his speech;5. How did the National Stuttering Association meeting influence the author?A.He began to make friends with stutterers.B.He learned some skills at stopping stuttering there.C.It made him focus his attention on good comments.D.The confident stutterers changed his attitude to stuttering.;6. What happened after the author started bringing up his stuttering?A.He has improved his work performance.B.He became popular among his co-workers.C.He learned to express himself with simple words.D.He was able to build a close relationship with others.;7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The power of accepting my stutter B.The challenge from normal people C.Special ways to live with stuttering D.My experience of overcoming stutteringCI was sitting at my desk when another graduate student in my lab approached me. “Can you help?” he asked. His experiment wasn’t working and he desperately needed help. I was then a fifth year PhD student, and I took pride in being the senior member of the lab, whom everyone looked up to. But that also meant I was the one everyone turned to for help - which ate away hours, days, and sometimes weeks that I could have spent on my own research.There were many reasons I had a hard time saying no to such pleas(恳求). I was new to the United States for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover activities I enjoyed. So 1 spent a huge chunk of my time in the lab, with my lab-mates serving as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I br ushed them off, I’d lose their favor.But the extra responsibilities came at a cost. I had to work extra hours to catch up with my own work, and I often made sacrifices to my personal life.It wasn’t until my wife gave birth to our first child that I reali zed how thin I had stretched myself - and how misguided my priorities were. While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor, I sat nearby hunched(伏首前倾的)over my laptop finishing up a work report Hours later, after hearing my daughter’s first cr y and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it dawned on me: I should have been fully present duringmy daughter’s birth. I was clearly spending too much time working if my job hadintruded(侵入)into one of life’s most precious moments.From then on, 1 decided to spend more time with my family by paring down mywork tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I still enjoyed collaborating with others, but I prioritized mutually beneficial tasks or those my manager asked me to take on, rather than accepting everything that came my way.I noticed many benefits: no longer working overtime, more family time, and improved work performance. I was also pleased to discover that “Sorry, I’d love to helpbut I have a deadline coming up” is an acce ptable response to a request for assistance.It’s hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best course of action to avoid an excessive workload and lead a freer and happier life.;8. Why did the author find it difficult to refuse the requests of his lab-mates?A.He was afraid to be left out by them. B.He wanted to earn their respect.C.He was the senior member of the lab. D.He had once received help from them.;9. What did the author realize after his daughter’s bi rth?A.He was guilty for his absence when she was born.B.His wife had sacrificed a lot for the family.C.He should have balanced work and life better.D.He should work harder due to the increased responsibilities.;10. Which of the following is closes in meaning to the underlined phrase “paring down”in paragraph 5?A.Putting aside. B.Cutting down. C.Getting familiar with. D.Keepingtrack of.;11. What is the text mainly about?A.Enjoying family life. B.Giving priority to family.C.Giving and taking. D.Learning to say “no”.二、七选五阅读Learning to Give Praise to OthersWords of praise, when used right, can have powerful positive effects on others. They are free, but they’re worth so much to the receiving person. 12 Your members didn’t follow you because of salaries but for more a ltruistic (利他的) reasons. Therefore, it is important that you give them the praise that is due for their efforts.13 Don’t say, “You look good today.” When you could have said, “You lo ok amazing today!” Don’t say, “Thanks for your effort.” Instead say “I’m so thankful foryour being on this project; we couldn’t have finished it without you!”Of course, with all that I have mentioned above, be sure that it’s coming from your heart. 14 Don’t praise if you don’t have a hint of appreciation for the person. Trust me, it will show in your eyes and the other party will feel upset. Insincere praise isflattery (恭维); you seek to gain something from saying good things about the other person.Besides, praising in public is rather important. 15 When you praise a partner in public, you lift him up and his conduct for everyone in the room to see. Look for opportunities where you can publicly celebrate the hard work of certain people and m ake them feel they are great.I believe that as you begin using these communication tips and praising people around you, you’ll see a change in the atmosphere of your work environment. 16 Eventually, you’ll find yourself with a more effective team!A.So you need to be sincere in praise.B.This is more so in voluntary organizations.C.People will become happier and smile more.D.It is much more effective than praise in private.E.Remember that measured praise is no praise at all.F.Words aren’t always necessary when praising others.G.The best way to teach kids how to praise others is by being an example.三、完型填空I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited at Christmas. I was too 17 for that. At age eleven, the eldest and my mom’s “grown up” girl, I had to keep my calm. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was 18 , I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and 19 every package, guessing at the contents within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person 20 looking at the tags.It had been a(n) 21 year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered pres ents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed. “ Christmas had 22 been a time for my parents to spoil(宠爱)us. In years past, the presents would occupy the living room. I had heard the ph rase “giving is better than receiving”, but getting presents was the whole 23 ! It was the reason I couldn’t go to sleep on Christmas Eve.On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and had to wait and 24 while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our 25 .“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, 26 . Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I 27 this one. It was for my mom!It was a blow dryer. 28 this may seem only a simple gift, to me it was so much more. But, in my world, where receiving was more important than giving, mom’s act of selflessness was difficult to 29 . I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to do that. I have always remembered that Christmas with affection. As an adult with children, I can now see my mom was finding an even greater 30 in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving.

Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at the East Meadow Public Library when I was a pre-teen girl.On one occasion, in search of a book to read, I walked slowly over to the desk taken up by a librarian—Miss Lantelme. Serious, polite, and speaking with the voice of a professional(专业的) librarian, she asked what kind of book I liked to read. I thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Mysteries(悬疑小说).” When I first learned to read, my grandfather gave me a book called The Smugglers of Sandy Bay. It was written by Ruth Holberg and still takes a place in my book collection. I sometimes hold it in my hand to reconnect with its mystical power.Miss Lantelme told me to follow her, and she led me into the mystery part and pointed me in the direction of books written by Agatha Christie. Miss Lantelme handed me a book called The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I will not tell the ending to anyone who has never read that book, but I loved the surprise that I never saw coming. Every week I dug deep into the works of that uncommon writer whose stories still attract me now.On one occasion, Miss Lantelme handed me a book written by John le Carré. The title of the book is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For years, I waited for each new book by the recognized master of spy thrillers. Of course, I wished Miss Lantelme to hand the new mystery of John le Carré to me.All these memories flashed through my mind while I sweated my way through my work-out out of breath, giving thanks to the librarians of the world, like Miss Lantelme, who gave me a lifetime of joy, not only the stories.;4. What made the author interested in mysteries?A.The book her grandfather gave her.B.The unknown feeling of a pre-teen girl.C.The professional service of Lantelme.D.The opinion her grandfather gave to her.;5. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3?A.She was interested in Agatha’s works.B.She took exercise around the library.C.She bought a book from Lantelme.D.She went to Lantelme’s home.;6. Who wrote The Spy Who Came in from the Cold?A.Marie Lantelme.B.Ruth Holberg.C.Agatha Christie.D.John le Carré.;7. Which is the best title for the text?A.An Impressive BookB.Lifelong Joy from My GrandfatherC.A Happy Memory for the BooksD.Three Books the Author Wanted to ReadCNext time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group ofresearchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.”Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained.Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support,” she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”;8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The research method.B.The supporting evidence.C.The analysis of the research data.D.The application of the research findings.;9. How does Collin explain the findings in paragraph 3?A.By illustrating concepts.B.By presenting questions.C.By using an expert’s word.D.By referring to another study.;10. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph?A.Live a more active life.B.Expand the inner circle.C.Gain as much support as possible.D.Connect with all kinds of people.;11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Humans, social creatures at heartB.Finding support benefits your well-beingC.The more you interact, the better you will beD.Talking to strangers might make you happier二、七选五阅读It’s hard to do much to treat a cold or the flu once you’re infected. As with many illnesses, taking steps towards prevention may be the best cure for the cold or flu. 12 You may also be able to avoid a serious illness by acting quickly at the first sign of symptoms.Wash your hands. One of the easiest and most effective measures to prevent colds and the flu is by washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. This reduces the proliferation of bacteria and the cold or flu virus from common spaces or surfaces. 13 Wash your hands carefully for 20 seconds, making sure to get under your nails, between your fingers, and thefront and back of your hands.Cover your nose and mouth. Put your hand or tissue (纸巾) over both your nose and mouth whenever you cough or sneeze. Covering sneezes and coughs lowers the risk of spreading your germs (细菌) and the viruses.1415 The cold and flu are very contagious (接触传染的) and generally spread where crowds of people gather round. Wash your hands after touching surfaces in crowded places. If you feel ill, stay home for at least a day to reduce your risk of spreading your cold or flu to others, or making your case worse by catching something else.Get enough rest. Making sure that you allow your body to rest can ease your symptoms and help you more quickly recover from a cold or the flu.16 Getting enough rest also lowers the risk of you infecting family members, friends, or colleagues. Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night and take a short break, which can help your immune system fight any developing cold or flu virus.A.Avoid the crowd.B.Don’t share items with sick people.C.Make sure you wet hands before applying soap to your hands.D.Stay home from work or school, especially if you have a fever.E.Throw away the used tissue immediately and then wash your hands.F.A cold is a viral infection that causes discomfort in the nose and throat. G.You can help prevent common viruses with careful attention to your habits.三、完形填空Huping Mountain features deep valleys and dangerous peaks.

The most commonly repaired items at home are wooden furniture and table lamps and other small lights, but many people express a level of discomfort for lack of knowledge about the skills required to repair them. However, we live in a time when many of the objects we buy come with limited lifespans(寿命) —especially technological and electrical goods.Although some objects may require specialist aid, plenty of worn things around the home can be repaired there, if you know what you’re doing. “One hundred years ago, everyone needed to repair things themselves,” an expert says. “So many people had the skills, and they were passed down from generation to generation. And not only the skills, but also the tools. The tools almost became the memories of that repair and carried their own stories.”Repair often feels pleasant because it is a moment of fixing. The holes can be filled. The gaps will be smoothed over. The language of repair has great significance in describing things: mending, fixing, restoring, rebuilding, piecing together. All are words we use for the objects around us, but also ones we apply to ourselves. We feel a little happy in the idea that few things are truly beyond salvage.Repair is attractive for many reasons. It helps us think about how to care for the things we own. It makes us mindful of what we waste, and what we should hold on to. It reminds us to bend in closer and see the changes, the points where the needle went through the surface and pulled together something new.;4. How do many people feel when it comes to repairing things?A.Very confident. B.A little scared.C.Particularly interested. D.Slightly uneasy.;5. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 2?A.Most worn things need to be repaired by specialists.B.The repairing tools were once passed down for generations.C.Words about repairing can not be used for people.D.The process of repairing is often disappointing.;6. What does the underlined word “salvage” mean in paragraph 3?A.Reach. B.Description. C.Repair. D.Reason.;7. What is the author’s attitude towards repair?A.Indifferent. B.Positive. C.Doubtful. D.Curious.CWith fast fashion be ing more popular than ever, cloth mending isn’t nearly as necessary as it once was. Got a tear in one of your socks? Just throw it and get a new pair. The same goes for any other clothes, so cloth mending is slowly gone. But what about something truly spec ial and dear to your hearts? You can’t just go out and change something of feeling value, but you can’t wear it with a hole in it either. That’s where the magical art of kaketsugi comes in. It’s really an unbelievable technique(技术).Kaketsugi is a hard process that begins with cutting a small piece of cloth from inside the clothing, where its absence will not be noticed. This piece is then brushed with acetone, which makes cutting single threads(线) a bit easier.Cutting the piece of cloth down to single threads is probably the hardest part of kaketsugi, but people who are good at this skill say that using the same cloth as the one that the clothing is made of is key to making the mending truly unseen in the end. The newly-gotten threads are then carefully sewn(缝) over the hole or broken area of the clothing, from different directions, and from both sides of the cloth. Once the sewing process is complete, the leftover threads are used to mask the breakdown even more. Finally, the area repaired with kaketsugi is ironed out(熨平). That helps smooth everything out and at this point, it’s almost impossible to see where the hole was in the first place. The clothing looks fire-new.Interestingly, unseen mending works just as well on small holes of just a few millime ters, as it does on large ones of over 3 centimeters. It’s just that a large broken area will take more time to fix, so the larger the hole is, the more expensive the repairs are.Kaketsugi may seem expensive, but keep in mind that it is usually kept for special clothing with feeling or historical value. Also, the work and time that goes into it is certainly worth it.;8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic of the text. B.To improve a useless technique. C.To change people’s values.D.To show a new fashion.;9. What is the key to making the clothing new?A.Using the same cloth. B.Picking special threads.C.Sewing from both sides. D.Ironing the mended area.;10. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude to kaketsugi?A.Doubtful. B.Confused. C.Uncaring. D.Supportive.;11. What is the best title for the text?A.The Magic of Special Clothing B.A Missing Cloth Mending Technique C.An Excellent Cloth Mending Technique D.The Fast Fashion Being More Popular二、完形填空I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way. I was 12 in small town of Cleveland, just a few 13 from the public library. I went there several times a week with my mother.

高三英语晚自习限时训练一、阅读理解AIcehouse and ice ticketAs early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During th e Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich.Ice containerThe most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks.Hiding food in the wellDuring the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope.Herbal drinksDuring the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body.1. What does “Jian” have the same function as?A.Container. B.Refrigerator. C.Clay. D.Copper.2. Which of the following is unavailable to common people?A.Ice tickets. B.Ice container. C.Hiding food in the well. D.Herbal drinks.3.

D.To make cold drinks.BWorld’s First Hydrogen-Powered Train LineLast Wednesday, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometer trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains.Currently, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates carbon dioxide and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climatecrisis. That’s one reason why many countries are trying to find energy choices that pollute less.Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s also very common—74% of the universe is made of hydrogen atoms. Pure hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be. used to create electricity by combining it with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air around the train. The best part is that when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is water, which comes out as steam.There’s a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometers before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they are replacing.In many places, hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the hydrogen-powered trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen powered trains. Germany will replace up to 3,000 of its diesel trains with hydrogen- powered trains.;4. Why do people develop hydrogen train?A.To reduce noise.B.To cut pollution.C.To improve transport.D.To solve the energy problem.;5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A.Advantages of hydrogen.B.The process of chemical reaction.C.The unpolluted characteristic of hydrogen.D.The popularity of hydrogen.;6. What can we infer about the hydrogen train from paragraph 4?A.It travels 140 km on one refueling.B.It should be refueled twice a day.C.It goes faster than a normal train.D.It needs very few hydrogen stations.;7. What does the author think of the future of hydrogen trains?A.Uncertain. B.Worrying. C.Promising. D.Difficult.CIf you have a dog, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out dog behavior. Like us, dogs are complex creatures, and it can be hard to know what’s behind your dog’s actions.When you’re asking them to sit or giving them a treat, eye contact means that their attention is on you and that they’re ready to listen. But sometimes your pup will look at you aimlessly. There area few reasons why your dog might stare at you — even when you don’t call its name or do something to get its attention.In general, dogs use eye contact to gain information and understand what humans want them to do, says Philip Tedeschi, professor and researcher on the human-animal bond. “Dogs use eye contact as reassurance and understanding in very similar ways that humans do, to ascertain interpersonal connection and reaction. This helps us connect with them as well,” he says.Science confirms that dogs use eye contact to express love. How do you tell if a dog loves you? Well, if he stares at you, it’s a good sign! “Just like humans look into each other’s eyes to show love, so does your dog,” says Tedeschi. “In fact, one study showed that the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin (拥抱荷尔蒙催产素) increases in both humans and dogs when they exchange a loving look.”If the eye contact between a dog and a human is too long or too intense it might lead to discomfort in the dog — similar to the way two humans staring at each other for a longer period of time would make them uncomfortable, according to Tedeschi. So what do you do if your dog stares at you? Look back, but not for too long. Dogs get awkward, too!;8. What does it usually mean when your dog stares at you?A.It’s on guard against you.B.It’s longing to be hugged.C.It’s ready for your instruction.D.It’s confused about your order.;9. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “ascertain” in paragraph 3? A.Take part in. B.Make sure of. C.Come up with. D.Look forward to.;10. Why is “‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin” mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To tell people when a dog expects for human love.B.To confirm dogs employ eye contact to convey love like humans.C.To show that a lot of people are working on this subject.D.To illustrate that dogs are just like human in exchanging emotions.;11. How will a dog feel if you stare at it for a long time?A.Beloved. B.Honored. C.Threatened. D.Embarrassed.二、七选五阅读Expressive writing or journaling is one way to help you heal from trauma (创伤).12 . It can help you process what you’ve been through and assist you as you envisiona path forward.Why does a writing intervention work? 13 In fact, narrating the story of an ongoing anxiety “frees up” cognitive resources. When you write down the emotionsassociated with a traumatic experience, you may be changing the way it is organized in the brain. You are then able to detach from the emotion, making it easier for you to talk about and process the event.However, for most people, the thought of acknowledging emotions and admitting that there’s something wrong with us is difficult. This is because expressing emotions can bring up feelings of guilt and shame. 14 That is what sets journaling apart. This is between you and your journal —you don’t have to share it with anyone unless, of course, you choose to.If you’re interested in trying out writing as a tool for healing, s tart your writing by setting a timer for ten minutes. 15 Think of one object in your home that signifies a moment for you. See it in full color. Feel the weight of it. Use all your senses. Now, write about that object and see how large its meaning can become.16 How you heal from trauma can be different from person to person as well.It all depends on what works best for you. Remember, one size does not fit all. Writing may not work for everyone, but you won’t know if you don’t try.【选项】B.Of course, expressive writing is hardly a panacea (灵丹妙药).C.Also, seeking help for emotional stress is often seen as a sign of weakness.D.It may seem abnormal that writing about negative experiences has a positive effect. E.Once you have a better handle on your problems, you can move forward and get on with life.F.It is writing from your heart and mind and about the emotion associated with a certain event.G.Let your mind go to the detailed, specific moments to get to the feelings and truthof your experience.三、完形填空Misty Copeland spends most days twisting, spinning and 17 .
