Unit 1 Teenage life（本卷满分100分）一、阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共20分）AThe Internet has become part of teenage life. There’s a report on 3,375 students aged from 10 to 18 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice such as it’s good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend offline, let your parents know.Teachers and parents all think the book is a good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person in the online world. It will be a guide for teens to use the Internet and keep students away from bad sites.1. From the report, aboutstudents between 10～18 years old in the seven cities use the Internet often.A. 3,375B. 2,400C. 1,280D. 3,0002. What do most of the students do on the Internet?A. To get useful information to help in their studies.B. To play online games.C. To learn how to use computer.D. To watch movies.3. Why do teachers and parents think the book is a good idea?A. Because it helps with the students’ studies.B. Because it is used in Shanghai middle schools.C. Because it teaches students how to use the Internet in a good way.D. Because it gives students useful advice.4. What is the writer’s attitude towards the Internet?A. Negative.B. Persuasive.C. Subjective.D. Objective.BTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study, which included nearly 1,400 high school students, found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人) five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation(关联) between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收) of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.5. What’s the best title for this passage?A. People Should Keep Away from TV to Keep HealthyB. Teenagers’ TV Time May Affect Their Diets LaterC. Why Do Teenagers Like TV?D. Parents’ Own Habits May Affect Children Later6. What suggestion does the author give the parents?A. They must watch TV with their children.B. They can’t do what they don’t want their children to do.C. They should keep the children from watching TV.D. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.7. The underlined word “curbing” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.A. addingB. stoppingC. checkingD. controlling8. According to the passage, heavy TV viewers tend to _________.A. take in fewer vegetablesB. eat more fruitsC. eat less junk foodD. take in high-calcium food二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）How to Spend High SchoolHigh school can be a terrible period if you get it all wrong.

2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANational Space Centre, LeicesterAn interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK's biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-metre rocket tower. You can't miss the latter as you drive into Leicester — the structure looks like it's wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It's all under cover so it's a good place to visit on a rainy day!What about lunch?The Boosters Cafe serves reasonably priced hot and cold snacks and drinks (hot dog from ￡4.95, plus jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and salads) at the foot of the centre's two rockets. The cafe offers vegetarian and vegan options too.Getting thereThere is a regular bus service (No.54 with a stop two minutes' walk from the centre), as well as a park and ride service from Birstall. East Midlands Trains and Cross-Country Trains operate services to Leicester station, from which the centre is a 25-minute bus ride. If driving, it's just off the A6, north of the city centre. Parking is ￡3 for the day.Value for moneyIt's not cheap — adult: ￡15, 5 to 16-year-old: ￡12, but once you've paid you can revisit as many times as you want in a year, and admission is free for kids under five.Opening hours10 a．m.－4 p．m.

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

高中英语新教材必修一unit 2 单元过关题一、阅读理解（共4题；共28分）AModern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modern airline you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to hundred years ago.Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish where there is something interesting to see, at good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are travelling on business.（1）From the passage, we know the fastest way of travelling is.A. by trainB. by seaC. by planeD. by car（2）If we travel by car, we can.A. make the longest journey enjoyableB. travel to a very far place in several minutesC. make our own timetableD. travel only fifty or one hundred miles a day（3）When people travel on business, they usually take ____________.A. a plane or a carB. a car or a boatC. a boat or a trainD. a train or a plane（4）How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage?A. FourB. ThreeC. TwoD. SixBPeople who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens (使扩大) our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)—not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.（1）People enjoys travelling because .A. Enlarge their knowledgeB. Have more chances to eat different foodC. Experience new thingsD. Above all（2）How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?____________A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.（3）What's the main idea of this passage?____________A. Different kinds of travelling.B. Travelling enriches our mind.C. Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.CA Hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure（闲暇的）time. By continually taking part in a particular hobby, one can acquire practical skill and knowledge in that area. Is travel a good hobby? Travel, in the youngest sort, is a part of education and, in the elder, a part of experience. Some may think otherwise. To them, visiting churches, castles, libraries, etc. is an absolute wastage of time. They may further say that one can read the account of these or see the films of the important places of the world. They forget that touch of actuality gives a different type of sensation and satisfaction.Travelling may be an expensive hobby but it makes up for the financial loss. If a traveller has interest in life and its manifestations （表现）, one can find much to keep oneself absorbed and happy. A student of any stream can definitely find something of his own interest and studies. One can definitely find everything that satisfies his cravings for knowledge and feelings.As a hobby, travelling keeps us busy during leisure time; it is the best method to make use of time. Till a person breaks from dull routine, physically and mentally, one cannot find satisfaction. Travelling helps us to achieve this break. At a new place, one is curious to know and eager to gather all the unknown information about the place which he has neither read nor heard before and he gets thrills and surprises which keep the interest and enthusiasm alive and encourage us to keep our journey on.While travelling, one comes across a number of people from varied backgrounds and places. By interacting with them, he comes to know about their traditions also. In case one has psychological bent of mind, one increases one's experience and power to understand others. Understanding human nature is, perhaps, the best part of education. Travelling satisfies all demands of a good hobby-it is absorbing education and refreshment to the mind, body and soul.（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Different views on travel.B. The drawbacks of travel.C. The importance of touching nature.D. Differences between a hobby and travel.（2）Which of the following can replace the underlined word “cravings” in the second paragraph?A. changes.B. researches.C. desires.D. problems.（3）What can a person do to benefit himself both in his mind and body?A. Travel about at his rush hours.B. Take a break from daily routine by travelling.C. Stay curious to know things around every day.D. Interact with people from diverse cultures.（4）What is the best title for the text?A. Curiosity Killed the CatB. Travel Is a Good HobbyC. Absorb Education & Refresh YourselfD. Stay Hungry & Never Forget Your AmbitionDTravelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. , www. bargains－lowest－ and www. Economic－.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.（1）This passage is mainly about ________.A. how to plan your travelB. how to travel with enough moneyC. how to make your travel interestingD. how to get life experiences（2）Before your trip, the first thing you should do is ________.A. to buy tickets in advanceB. to make a plan of the routeC. to save money by spending lessD. to get information on the Internet（3）The author of the passage advises you ________.A. to go to lesser-known areaB. not to visit dangerous placesC. to share costs with any other peopleD. to buy anything you want to buy二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）Taking Care of Your Health While TravelingWhen you're often on the go, it is likely that your health will suffer.

UNIT 4 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2022·佛山二模)The future of space exploration may depend on an art form from the past: origami (折纸艺术), the ancient art of paper folding.Researchers from Washington State University (WSU), US, have used origami to possibly solve the problem of storing and moving fuel to rocket engines, a key challenge in space travel, according to Newswise.They've developed a foldable plastic fuel “bladder (囊状物)” resistant to super cold temperatures, which could be used to store and pump fuel in spacecrafts of the future.Their findings have recently been published in the journal Cryogenics.“Folks have been trying to make bags for rocket fuel for a long time，” said Jake Leachman, one of the lead researchers.“We currently don't do large, long-duration trips because we can't store fuel long enough in space.”Meanwhile, NASA is also looking to paper folding to help observe distant planets.The agency is currently developing Starshade, a foldable, sunflower-shaped piece of hardware that would help block starlight and enable telescopes to view distant objects more clearly in space.“A huge part of my job is looking at something on paper and asking, ‘Can we fly this？’” Manan Arya, a technologist in California, said.“Once I realized this is how you fold spacecraft structures, I became interested in origami.I realized I was good at it and enjoyed it.Now, I fold constantly.”Using origami for space purposes isn't new, however.Solar arrays (太阳能阵列), experimental wings for space shuttle programs and an inflatable (可充气的) satellite were also inspired by origami in both past and present space projects.“With most origami, the magic comes from the folding，” Robert Salazar, who helped design the Starshade and now works on the Transformers project, said in a statement.“There are so many patterns to still be explored.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

More drivers seem to be rolling through stop signs and running red lights than ever before. Everyone seems to be in a terrible hurry.Why is everyone in such a hurry? Where are they rushing to?I think perhaps the answer lies in answering this question: What does the round of parties and meetings and mad rushing from place to place allow all of us to avoid confronting? I think the answer is clear—ourselves.There is an experiment where subjects had to choose between being alone with themselves and their thoughts for approximately 15 minutes and receiving electric shocks. The majority chose the shocks—a reflection of pain, fear, threat, confusion, boredom, you name it.Our desire not to be with our innermost thoughts is so great that we create and find distractions. In the car, we will make phone calls or listen to music. We live in a world of endless opportunities for distraction.I understand the desire. Life is hard. Growing is a painful and slow process. To keep moving requires determination and strength—and giving up seems so much easier. We may win some battles, but the war is never over. Sometimes we are just too tired to fight and just need music or books to relax. I just instinctively (本能地) turn on the radio when I get in the car; I don't even give the quiet a moment to sink in.But it's time for a reality check; otherwise we will slip into avoidance mode. It's challenging, but let's make a change. Instead of rushing from the house to the car, to meetings, or to groceries,let's take a moment to stop and think before each activity. What do I want to achieve now? And what is the best way to do that? Maybe I could think of ways to grow.1．Why does the author mention drivers on the streets of Los Angeles?A．To describe a strong holiday atmosphere.B．To present a unique social situation in America.C．To raise his question on why people are in a rush.D．To show that it's time to improve road safety in America.2．Why did the majority of subjects choose electric shocks?A．They found the innermost thoughts great.B．They enjoyed being alone with themselves.C．They refused painful and threatening distractions.D．They wanted to find opportunities for distraction.3．What does the author think of the people who chose the shocks in the experiment?A．They should be more courageous.B．Their attitude to life was unexpected.C．Their behavior was understandable.D．They should refuse to take part in the experiment.4．What's the best title for the text?A．Fighting DistractionsB．Being With OurselvesC．Reviewing Our MistakesD．Rushing From Place to PlaceAlthough being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they star t to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time，” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B．C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold­out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film­stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is thatthere are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.5．It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________．A．are often misunderstood by the publicB．can no longer have their privacy protectedC．spend too much on their public appearanceD．care little about how they have come into fame6．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C．Well­known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.7．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A．Availability of modern media.B．Inadequate social recognition.C．Lack of favorable chances.D．Huge population of fans.8．What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?A．Sincere. B．Skeptical.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.。

UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A2022·梅州二模When British musician Paul Barton performs in central Thailand lately, the listeners react wildly.Some pull his hair or jump on his piano.Others steal his music.The behaviour is normal, however, because these crowds are truly wild — wild monkeys to be exact.Barton plays often to the animals in Lopburi, an area known for its populations of wild monkeys.The pianist hopes the music shows bring calm to the animals during the corona virus (COVID-19) crisis.The disease has caused problems for the monkeys, too.They are hungry.The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them.The monkeys quickly surround Barton when he plays Greensleeves, Beethoven's Fur Elise and Michael Nyman's Diary of Love.Some of the creatures sit on his chair, while others climb up his body and touch his head.But, Barton keeps his attention on his performance, even as a small monkey runs over his hands on the instrument.Other monkeys take control of his music papers.“I was glad and surprised to find that they were actually eating_the_music as I was playing it.”The monkeys are Barton's latest animal fans.Past wildlife audience included elephants living in special protected areas.Barton hopes to raise people's awareness of the monkeys' hunger.At the same time, he hopes to study their behaviour as they react to classical music.“Come together and don't let the pandemic stop the wild monkeys getting good nutritious food.We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly.And when they eat properly they will be calmer，” said 59-year-old Barton.语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。

UNIT 1 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A2022·山东淄博模拟To deal with a changing world, we have to change as well. Transforming land into farms removes forests and worsens climate change. But we need to grow more food to support a growing global population. What can we do?Scientists have discovered that plants grow best under a certain type of light, which can be provided by red and blue LEDs. The combination of these lights at the right level makes a space look pink. Since “pinkhouses” supply their own light, they don't need to have fragile glass walls and ceilings. And they can be set up anywhere, including the places that don't get the amount of light greenhouses need.Since pinkhouses can pack food in huge columns, one of these farms doesn't need a lot of land. Farmers can set up pinkhouses in cities. They completely control temperature and light, which can help some plants grow twice as well in pinkhouses as they do in traditional farming. Pinkhouses can allow for many more harvests per year since farming doesn't have to stop in winter.Even though pinkhouses are a great way to grow crops, lighting and heating an indoor space can be very expensive. It doesn't make sense to grow foods that take up a lot of space or that we need to grow lots of, like wheat, rice, and corn, in a pinkhouse. We will still need to grow those crops in fields. We can start farming smarter.Farmers will use satellite imagery to figure out exactly where to plant each crop. Think of a mixture of just the right crops, rather than a rectangle (长方形) of one type of plant. Sensors in the fields will measure the soil's water level, temperature, and chemical content. They will even be able to detect insects and send out notifications to a smartphone app. Irrigation systems will be tied to weather forecasting programs, allowing for very precise watering and care, all calculated to get the best plant growth and yield.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

2021年新教材高中英语 Unit 5 Music 双基训练金卷（二）新人教版必修第二册Unit 5 Music（本卷满分100分）一、阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共20分）ARock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the2021年新教材高中英语 Unit 5 Music 双基训练金卷（二）新人教版必修第二册most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. Experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.1. The main topic of this passage is _______.A. the history of American musicB. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groupsD. the new forms of rock and roll music2. What does “the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake” mean?A. The Beatle’s music was as violent as an earthquake in America.B. the Beatles looked differently because an earthquake hit America.C. The Beatle’s music had great effect on the rock and roll music in America.D. The Beatle’s music were greatly influenced by American rock and roll music.3. Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?2021年新教材高中英语 Unit 5 Music 双基训练金卷（二）新人教版必修第二册A. Elvis Presley’s.B. Bob Dylan’s.C. Chuck Berry’s.D. Springsteen’s.4. From the passage, we can know that _______.A. one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept”B. all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles in 1964C. the Rolling Stones was the only band that became popular in AmericaD. all the most popular rock and roll musicians in the 1960s were AmericanBMany of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are2021年新教材高中英语 Unit 5 Music 双基训练金卷（二）新人教版必修第二册asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same time—one from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type2021年新教材高中英语 Unit 5 Music 双基训练金卷（二）新人教版必修第二册of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.5. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to ________.A. explain how music can relax peopleB. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart musicD. stress Mozart music gains wide attention6. It can be inferred that participants in the research ________.A. have improved their rehearsal abilityB. perform better in the quiet conditionsC. ignore the background noise successfullyD. prefer the music with great sound variation7. Paragraph 6 is written to ________.A. support an ideaB. make a contrastC. introduce a topicD. describe a fact8. What is the best title for the passage?A. Music shapes your lifeB. Music develops your creativityC. Choose quiet music for your workD. Does music make you concentrate?二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）Beijing Opera represents the finest combination of literature, music, dance, kung fu, fine arts and many other arts.

According to the historical record, it dates back to the middle period of the Qing Dynasty. In the 55th year ruled by the Emperor Qianlong, the most famous four theatrical groups in Anhui went to Beijing to show their opera performance and then got a great success.

Choose places that are in their off-season during kids’ school breaks. Over the Christmas/New Year’s break, for exampl e, the prices for flights and hotels in the Caribbean and Hawaii are sky-high. 10 You can go to places that are in their low season but are warm and festive(欢乐的).For US trips, think about extended-stay hotels(常住酒店). Extended-stay hotels give you affordable suites(套房) with a lot of free facilities for the money. You get a door to the kids’ room that you can close at bedtime. 11 A refrigerator, microwave and washing machines, as well as free breakfast, Wi-Fi and sometimes even dinner and snacks are available, too.For European city trips, rent an apartment. Hotel rooms in European cities can be expensive and tiny. They have no refrigerator or microwave, and neighbors can hear every sound. 12 It also gives you more space and thicker(更厚的) walls. The kitchen can help you save some money in hotel breakfast charges, and the washing machine can help you save the time for washing.13 Hunting for specific items —maybe they’re seashells from each beach you stop at, maps from tourist information offices or door handle do-not-disturb-signs from hotels —gives kids a task and keeps them busy in a trip. Collecting souvenirs on a certain theme is a lot cheaper than buying them.A．Look for things with your kids.B．An apartment usually costs less.C．So you can consider other places.D．Collect things instead of buying things.E. You also have more space to move around.F. You can also choose extended-stay hotels if you like.G. However, a getaway any time of the year can be pricey.三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）When I was a teenager I was in a group of students who took a trip to Pittsburgh. Being a country boy, I found it 14 just being in such a big city. While most of the studentsheaded for the mall then I decided to tour the streets 15 .It was almost Christmastime and the store windows were filled with 16 displays. I bought several cinnamon sticks(肉桂棒) to ward off (挡住) the 17 while walking and looking at the sights.At some point, 18 , the stores became less and less and the bars became more and more.I realized I had crossed into a not so 19 section of town. I saw a small bus stop and decided to sit and take a rest before walking back. The bus stop was just in front of a20 store and before long an old woman in an old coat came out. She was carrying two large21 in one hand. Her other hand held a cane that steadied her slow, 22 walk. Her young, dark-haired granddaughter clutched her coat as they 23 their way to the bench. I 24 at them both and we talked a bit about how cold it was before the bus 25 . When it arrived I picked up the old lady’s bags and carried them up the steps. Then I helped her granddaughter up while the lady slowly climbed on behind us I pulled out my 26 cinnamon stick and gave it to the sweet girl while her grandma smiled her 27 to me. I got off the bus and looked up to the window where the little, curly-haired Child of God was waving goodbye to me. Then I started back to meet the other students a little 28 at heart if not in body. As I was 29 the corner, though, a voice called out from an alley. “Hey man! Want to get 30 ?” I smiled and said. “No thanks.

2023届高考英语考前每日拔高练第4练【配套新教材】Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before?not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can't change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us — an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视……等同于) "commitment" with such "caring" occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence — whether they are driving a truck, or running a store — make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learned life's most valuable lesson.1.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ________.A. loss of freedom stimulates one's creativityB. age is not a barrier to achieving one's goalC. misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD. disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. End one's struggle for liberty.B. Waste one's energy taking risks.C. Miss the opportunity to succeed.D. Lose the interest to continue learning.3.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?A. A tough man can tolerate suffering.B. A wise man can live without self-pity.C. A man should try to satisfy people around him.D. A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life.4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.B. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.Australian data indicate that less than a quarter of children aged 5-14 achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day and spend just over two hours each day sitting or lying down for screen-based activities. There is widespread concern that children are not spending enough time in nature and, as a result, that they may be missing out on the potential benefits that nature has to offer for social skills, learning, physical health, and wellbeing.For teachers in the know, nature-based play and learning is wonderful. For example, cooking on an outdoor fire can include a range of curriculum(课程) skills —maths and measurement of food materials, important fire and safety skills, reading and writing, and comprehending skills from the recipe, as well as imagination in finding the best sticks to use as skewers. Simple activities can equally deliver benefits: using sticks to show how fractions(分数) are part of a whole can explain problem solving in a hands-on way and help children better grasp more complex maths concepts.An Australian study found that while all teachers believed that nature-based play and learning can deliver huge benefits for children, seven out of ten teachers felt that their knowledge and confidence was limiting their ability to make full use of these opportunities at school. Difficulties in using nature-based play and learning for teachers include: limitedknowledge and confidence in how to add it into learning or how to operate the class outside (78%); a crowded curriculum limiting their ability to adopt new learning (54%); a lack of understanding/support from others in the school (38%).Reducing these difficulties must be a focus to ensure children are able to judge nature-based play and learning opportunities at school. We must find ways to support teachers to upskill and feel confident in delivering learning opportunities in nature. Training, education, and support at the school level are important for teachers to take the next step, but so are system-level approaches to consider how nature-based learning can be formally included into the curriculum.5.What do experienced teachers think of nature-based play and learning?A. A good academic teaching through lively activities.B. A kind of everyday physical activity for all students.C. A practical student activity to feel the beauty of nature.D. A survival adventure to train students to live independently.6.Why do most teachers have difficulty adopting nature-based play and learning?A. They think students won't like the learning.B. They are worried about parents' disagreement.C. They have not enough time and experience.D. They have got used to the classroom teaching.7.How can nature-based play and learning be widespread?A. By offering teachers a pay rise.B. By adding it to the required curriculum.C. By reducing students' homework and tests.D. By replacing current teachers with younger ones.8.What is the best title for the text?A. Teachers and nature-based play and learningB. The recommended everyday physical activityC. The harm to children from screen-based activitiesD. Nature-based play and learning's benefits for childrenWhen we are hunting for a job, the primary thing that we should consider is to get your resume impressive. The term "resume" means a document describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiringdecision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is a standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most cases of "cross-border" job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.* Pay attention to the resume format you use —chronological(时间的) or reverse-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format, which means listing your current or most recent experience first.* The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your resume, as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.* If you are writing your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.* Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your resume prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.* Be aware that paper sizes are different in different countries. The United States standard is 8½ by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. When you send your resume by email, reformat it to the receiver's standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out, half of your material may be missing.9.From the passage, we learn that ________.A. concerning education, just state the title of your degree will be enoughB. Asian countries may have the same standard paper sizeC. a resume can help us know about a person's personalityD. a person's educational background should be included in a resume10.The passage is most probably intended for ________.A. job hunters that seek careers abroadB. companies that do international businessC. people that are employed by companies overseasD. graduates that can speak over one foreign language11.The passage mainly wants to tell us that a global resume should ________.A. be highly professionalB. be especially informativeC. be culturally appropriateD. be specifically bilingual答案以及解析1.答案：B解析：推理判断题。

刷题课时练 5Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhat a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I'd been at the school for a hundred years!The day started very early at 7：00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn't love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn't stop laughing.My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。
