She fought for women's rights long before they became a popular issue.Susan was born on February 15,1820, in Adams, Massachusetts. At that time, women had few rights. They could not own property. Money earned by a married woman belonged to her husband. Major decisions regarding children were made by the fathers. Women could not vote.At the age of 15, Susan became a schoolteacher. She taught for 15 years. Then she began organizing women's groups to promote causes that were important to women. She helped gain better educational rights for women. She helped give married women possession of their earnings.After the Civil War, Susan became very involved in the women's suffrage movement. After years of lecturing, writing, and appealing by Susan and other women, some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote. The first state was Wyoming in 1869. Other areas and states gradually followed Wyoming's decision. It was not until 1920 that the U.S. Constitution was changed to give all women voting rights.Susan Brownell Anthony died in 1906 at the age of 86. She was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1950. She was the first American woman to have a likeness (肖像) of her face on a coin. It was the 1979 Susan Brownell Anthony dollar.【解题导语】本文要紧介绍了美国历史上闻名的女权运动领导Susan Brownell Anthony。

According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic(不现实) expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible(明智) way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. Howe ver, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age I used to win every competition I enter.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always quiet and unhappy.46. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. what differences there are between parentsB. what aim of a child can be easier to reachC. how parents should make a child a musicianD. how parents should bring up their children47. Michael is lucky because _____.A. his parents help him in a sensible wayB. his family is rich enough to have a carC. his father is a successful musicianD. he is free to do anything he likes best48. Win ston’s parents set so high a standard for him that _____.A. he has to do his best to do everythingB. he has made greater progress in musicC. he is afraid he may disappoint themD. he often wants to kill himself someday49. It is one of the parents’ worst mistakes if they _____.A. want their child to be a musicianB. make their child try to achieve too muchC. don’t care their child’s education muchD. help their child to win music competitionB篇In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web(网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times. On the seventh time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won’t work.”So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.50. This passage deals with _____.A. failure and successB. two sides of failureC. the “spider-story”D. the invention of light bulb51. In the first paragraph the writer tells mainly about _____.A. the value of failureB. how people failC. famous failuresD. how not to fail52. The thing the writer does not tell you to do to deal with failure is _____.A. check out your goals to see if they are right for youB. think about failure as part of your lifeC. think about failure to find out what went wrongD. keep away from things that are beyond you53. Even if we have failed we should _____.A. learn to forget itB. learn to remember itC. learn to enjoy itD. learn to accept it26---45 BDACD ABCBA BDCBA BADCA46-53 DACB BADD。

1Sometimes,the simplest ideas are the best. For example,to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat,black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat collector is a system of connected water pipes.Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground. When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.【文章大意概括】文章介绍了如何样依靠别处的柏油马路表面在冬天给楼房供暖,在夏天给楼房降温。

强化训练一Heatwaves Are Perils for Public Transit Users: What Transit Systems and Riders Can Do?Bet you're feeling this intense heat. So are many of the roughly one in 10 who ride public transportation daily. In 2021, extreme heat damaged Portland's streetcar wires and deformed Seattle's roadways, triggering a sudden stop of service as the extreme temperatures can bend tracks and lead the street car off the track. Theheatwaves also had an impact on transit agencies in central Texas, Oklahoma and even New York City.Increasingly, more transport planners find it essential to take action to deal with critical weather events for their riders' safety. City policymakers and planners are developing and adopting climate-sensitive design for public transit stops and transportation, from buses to trains. Some cities, such as Las Vegas, have raised awareness of the dangers of extreme temperatures to their transit riders. Some cities have modified its transit service schedule as part of its “beat the heat” initiative, and others are rerouting buses to reduce wait times and passengers' exposure to the heat.Meanwhile, more cities set out to build new physical infrastructure. More specifically, they cool pavements on transit routes and transit station roofs via higher solar reflection to lower surface temperatures; shade main walking and cycling routes to public transportation; use low-energy ventilation (通风) systems on buses and metro trains; paint buses white and tint windows to shade off the sun; install thermometers inside buses and trains for riders to monitor temperatures; and install drinking fountains in public spaces.Further studies and researches are also conducted to relieve the stress. For example, in heat-stricken Austin, Texas, in 2019, two researchers from University of Texas studied transit ridership and concluded that tree planting at bus stops can prove more effective than bus shelters because trees slow down climate change. In Portland, misting systems that remained open through the night serves as a method of cooling off.In general, city planners attempt to balance between operation transportation systems and net-zero carbon emission in such heatwaves. As for riders, they can stay hydrated, use a handheld fan, choose light and airy clothes, travel when it's cooler, and avoid needless trips.【原创】What does the passage mainly talk about?A.How to secure riders' safety in the heatwaves.B.How to build new physical infrastructure.C.How to reduce the climate threat to transportation.D.How to relieve heat stress for Transit Systems and Riders.[答案] A[精读外刊积累语料]词块必背intense adj.强烈的★roughly ad v.大约;差不多deform v.使变形★trigger v. 触发;引起extreme adj. 极端的★have an impact on... 对……有影响★critical adj. 严重的raise awareness 增强意识★modify v. 修改,改进initiative n. 倡议reroute v. 改变路线infrastructure n. 基础设施specifically ad v. 具体来说reflection n. 反射tint v. 为……轻微染色install v. 安装monitor v. 监测mist v. 喷雾attempt v. 尝试needless adj. 不必要的熟词生义fountain 熟义:n.喷泉生义:n.喷泉式饮水机句法解密[译文]2021年,极端高温损坏了波特兰的有轨电车线路,使西雅图的道路变形,引发服务突然停止,因为极端高温会使轨道弯曲,导致电车脱轨。

名校最新模拟试题主旨大意题(共20小题)1.(2022年8月浙江省“山水联盟”高三联考)You really should ask the question: will my donation to this charity actually help the people or cause? Sometimes it makes matters worse. For example, many charities help African people install water pumps to deliver clean water to their communities. Money has been invested over the past 20 years to install a total of 60, 000 pumps across sub-Saharan Africa. However, today 40% of those have failed to work at some point. They have been left there, like expensive but useless decorations.......Ultimately, to whom and how much you give is your choice. It is important to provide highly specialized services instead of material goods. As a general rule of thumb, the more your donation matches the need of the receivers, the better it will be for the long-term prosperity of those you want to help.15. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Has your donation hit a dead end?B. Why should you make a donation?C. Where does my donation take its way?D. Will my donation to charity really help?【答案】D【解析】主旨大意题。

专题强化练(五)——阅读理解之主旨大意题(限时25分钟)对应学生用书(单独成册)第113页A(2020·郑州第二次质检)Something strange has been happening to me lately: Women in the street have been telling me I'm brave.My act of courage isn't much—I just stopped coloring my hair.I had brown hair that started going gray when I was 30.So,like a lot of women,I started dyeing(染)it.It was expensive and timeconsuming.And my hair grows fast,so I needed to go back to the hair salon(美发厅)every 5 weeks.Many people seem to enjoy holding onto their youth for as long as possible,giving others the impression that they don't have much wisdom or many accomplishments.But our hair starts to turn gray and suddenly we start spending $500 or more a year to cover something our male colleagues don't need to cover.Of course,people should do what they want to do with their own body—my mother is 91 and still has“blonde” hair,and why not?I just wish more of us would feel that it is OK to be ourselves,because going gray has done more for me than saving me time and money.I like my natural hair,just as it is.I like how it has got curly again.It is recovering after years of being damaged by chemicals.I also like that it has given me some needed attitude in a society that makes youth seem so important,while being against maturity.It reminds me that I'm not a kid anymore and this isn't a bad thing.Not being a kid anymore means I read the books I want,and not the books I feel I should read.It means not wasting my time at events I don't need to attend when I'd rather be with my family and friends.When I see my hair in the mirror,it's a reminder that my time is limited,and I should spend it doing what matters.There's nothing shameful about growing older.And pretending it's not happening is a way of giving up our power.I see my gray hair as a little act of rebellion(反叛)against the idea that people lose value as they age,instead of gaining it.I see gray hair as my “flag” and I'm letting it fly proudly.[语篇解读] 在文章开头,作者叙述了自己虽然头发变白但不再染发,从而受到别人的好评的经历,接着表达了自己对变老的看法。
作者认为染发浪费金钱和时间,追求自然、重视因年龄增长而带来的智慧才是重要的。

B(2020·山东省济南市第二次模考)The Walt Disney Company has built a room that can wirelessly power and charge any devices inside.Wireless charging usually only works when a device is touching a power source.But researchers say they have found a way to provide wireless power and charging capability to large areas.A scientific team from Disney Research recently demonstrated the technology.Alanson Sample is the lead researcher at Disney Research.He explained the goal of the project in a video. “What we really want is a threedimensional charging experience where you walk into your living room or office and your cell phone is charged simply by walking in.”The process uses magnetic fields to send power to specially designed receivers.Researchers built a 54cubicmeter room i n which the walls,floor and ceiling were covered with metal panels.They placed a long metal pipe in the middle of the room.Electrical currents travel up and down this pole about 1.3 million times per second.These currents also move through the ceiling,walls and floor,before flowing again up the pole.Small devices inside the pole set the level of electromagnetic waves.These waves continuously move around the room to send power to receivingdevices.The Disney researchers said repeated experiments led to successful wireless power transfers to many devices running at the same time.One of the concerns of electric fields is that they can be harmful to humans.But associate research scientist Matt Chabalko said the level of power being produced inside the room is n ot dangerous.“Our simulations show that we can transmit 1.9 kilowatts of power while meeting federal safety guidelines.This means it's completely safe for people to occupy this space for any amount of time.”The experiments also showed that furniture inside the room was not damaged and did not block the wireless energy.One of Disney's likely uses for wireless power will be to create areas at its parks where visitors can charge their devices.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇科普类说明文。
