In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's disease study — can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. “If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine. It needs sleep.” The feeling we should notice is “sleepiness”,he says. It's not “tiredness”,which could be more psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20or 90minute nap.“When you fall asleep, you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up because that's when you wake and feel worse than you did before.” Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep; napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — “Some people are better at napping than others but,”says Stanley, “a healthy adult will, fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.” — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30to 40minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon,between 2 pm and 4 pm. “You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your nighttime sleep,”Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good nighttime sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.1.What does an afternoon nap indicate for most people?A.Caffeine addiction.B.Psychological stress.C.Insufficient night sleep.D.Potential physical illness.2.What is the key to a good nap?A.Duration. B.Surroundings.C.Health. D.Stages.3.What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?A.A 30to 40minute period.B.Between 2 pm and 4 pm.C.Between 5 and 12 minutes.D.A 20to 90minute period.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Why to phase a napB.When to take a good napC.What to learn from a napD.How to have a successful napB[2021·河南省高考适应性测试] Think of the last time you disagreed with another person. Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟;姊妹) over what to watch on TV. Or perhaps you tried to convince grownups that ice cream makes a better dinner than vegetables. How did your disagreement end? Were you able to see the issue from the other person's viewpoint?In many situations, disagreements are unavoidable. They're part of life. After all, everyone has different opinions. We all have past experiences that shape how we see the world. Still, not all disagreements are bad. In fact, many people look at them as opportunities to learn. They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from.How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often, it's best to start by asking questions. Questions help us learn about the world around us. The right questions can also help us learn about other people. In a disagreement, asking for more information can help you learn about a person's viewpoint. It can also lead you to gather more facts. This can paint a better picture of the entire issue.When seeking to understand both sides of an issue, it's important to know the difference between facts and opinions. Remember, facts are based on true information. Opinions can change from person to person. Paying attention to facts can stop biases(偏见)from taking over in a disagreement. This can help everyone involved see both sides of the issue.Maybe you're wondering why it's important to understand both sides of an issue, anyway. After all, don't most people just want to prove that their side is right? Often, that's true. However, understanding the whole issue can lead to both sides working together.Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first. However, when both sides truly try to understand each other, they often find they have more in common than they thought. The next time you disagree with other people, try asking them questions about their viewpoint. You never know what you might learn.5.What does the underlined word “so” refer to in Paragraph 2?A.Ignoring chances to learn.B.Knowing more about themselves.C.Shaping a right way to see the world.D.Making the disagreements a chance to learn.6.According to the passage, how can we solve a disagreement?A.By changing the other's opinion.B.By making both sides comfortable.C.By trying to stand in the other's shoes.D.By telling facts and opinions apart.7.How does the author support his view?A.By reasoning. B.By making comparison.C.By debating. D.By giving examples.8.What's the author's attitude to people's arguments?A.Indifferent. B.Pessimistic.C.Positive. D.Skeptical.Ⅱ.完形填空[2021·沈阳市高三质量监测二] Night fell. Doug Falter returned home, tearyeyed and __1__.

Keep it secureAll apps collect data as you use them. Following these four steps will help ensure you're not oversharing.For starters, download apps only from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not from random websites. 1.Before you accept an app's terms and conditions, look at what information it's planning to collect and think twice if it's asking for too many permissions. 2.Also, most apps don't need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard.Sign up using an e-mail address you've set up just for things like app permissions and e-mail newsletters.3.This way, if there is a security breach (缺口), your exposure is contained to things connected to that address.4.This means a long one (at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters– and, sorry, a unique password for each app. According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable "passphrase" by creating a series of random words, and then substitute numbers or special characters (i.e., @ for at) for some of the letters.5.Go ahead and write them down — just store your cheat sheet in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!). Or enlist a password manager such as 1Password or LastPass.A. For example, why would a gaming app need access to your text messages?B. How will you ever remember them all?C. Just be sure to choose your teams' official apps.D. Don't use your main e-mail address or social media account.E. Do you have an old smartphone you're not using anymore?F. These apps meet the major companies' quality standards.G. And, of course, use a secure password.(5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2023年新高考英语二轮拔高班阅读理解训练题型说明文题组复习资料阅读理解训练题型:说明文题组训练(五)(2022·福建厦门·校联考模拟预测)Our planet is home to many radioactive substances-not just in is geologic innards but also in its hospitals, at its industrial sites and in its food processing plants. In Colorado, for instance, 27 buildings house scary-sounding chemical elements such as cesium 137 and cobalt 60. These materials are not there for risky purposes, though. They play a part in cancer treatment, blood irradiation, medical and food sterilization, structure and equipment testing, geologic exploration, etc.The radioactive material is not always bad in a black and-white way: it can be a useful tool. The rays given off by cesium and cobalt can kill germs multiplying in your meat and make your apples last longer. Radiographic instruments can detect, say, cracks in a city’s pipes in a similar way to an x-ray picking up a hairline fracture in your knee. A practice called “well logging”uses sealed radioactive sources to map the geology of holes oil seekers drill into the earth. And of course, radiation is key to cancer treatment.The risk arises because the same radioactive material that is beneficialcould also be stolen or misplaced and find its way into trafficking rings or dirty bombs. It might also barn workers if something accidentally goes wrong during a normal nine-to-five day. In 2017 alone, according to a report from the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, there were 171 “incidents of nuclear or other radioactive materials outside of regulatory control”based on open source reports, 104 of which happened in the U.S.An initiative called RadSecure 100 was launched to remove and better secure energetic material in 100 U.S. cities. “Where is the most high-risk material located around the most people?”says Emily Adams, deputy director of a domestic program in the Office of Radiological Security. “And that’s how we got our 100.”1.What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 1? A.Radioactive substances can warm our planet.B.Food processing does harm to workers in plants.C.The radioactive material is basically everywhere.D.It’s hard to remove scary-sounding elements in buildings. 2.Why does the author mention “well logging”in paragraph 2? A.To make a summary. B.To raise a question.C.To provide a contrast. D.To support an idea.3.What is RadSecure 100 intended for?A.Making use of energetic substances. B.Ensuring safety of theradioactive material.C.Warning people of the most high-risk material D.Protecting the Office of Radiological Security.4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the radioactive material? A.Pessimistic. B.Objective. C.Disapproval. D.Carefree.(2022·重庆·校联考二模)A new study has found that water in the air, not just heat, is important in measuring global warming. The researchers say, when considering humidity and heat, the temperature increase is two times greater than earlier estimates.The researchers also note, temperature by itself is not the best way to measure the effects of climate change and using temperature underestimates conditions in the tropical areas of the world.The study was published on January 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers team show that the energy created in extreme weather, such as storms, is related to the amount of water in the air. For this reason, they decided to use a special atmospheric measurement to show the amount of heat in an area of air. It is expressed in a scientific measurement for temperature known as degrees Kelvin.Ramanathan is one of the writers of the study. He is a climate scientist atthe University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “There are two factors of climate change: temperature and humidity. And so far, we have measured global warming just in terms of temperature,”he says. “Warm air can hold more water than cold air. For every degree Celsius that air temperature increases, it can hold seven percent more water. When the water vapor in the air becomes liquid, it releases heat or energy. That’s why when it rains, now it pours.”Ramanathan added that water vapor is a powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere that increases climate change. From 1980 to 2019, the average world surface air temperature increased by 0.79 degrees Celsius. But when they considered energy from humidity, their temperature measurement had increased by 1.48 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, the warming was as much as 4 degrees Celsius.Wuebbles is a climate scientist at the University of Illinois. He was not part of the study. But Wuebbles said the idea makes sense because water vapor is important in extreme rainfall. He said, “Both heat and humidity are important.”5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.The combination of water and heat decreases average surface temperature.B.The reason why it pours is that cold air can hold more water than warm air.C.Scientists adopt temperature degrees Kelvin as a special atmospheric measurement.D.Scientists used both temperature and humidity to measure global warming in the past.6.How does Ramanathan illustrate his findings in the fifth paragraph? A.By making comparisons. B.By taking examples.C.By analyzing reasons. D.By giving definitions.7.What is Wuebbles’attitude to this new study?A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Skeptical. D.Appreciative.8.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A.Extreme Weathers Are Closely Related to Air Heat AmountB.A New Study Focuses on Global Warming SolutionsC.Humidity Is Also Important in Measuring Climate Changes D.Two Climate Scientists Develop a Scientific Method(2022·湖南郴州·统考一模)Shawanee Patrick is passionate about giving everyone the ability to walk as comfortably and effectively as possible through the use of walking assistive devices, such as prosthetics (假肢) and orthotics. A Ph.D.student in the J. Mike walker 66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University, Patrick was inspired to help develop better walking assistive devices by the partial paralysis (瘫痪) of her grandmother.Her research focuses on developing and improving walking assistive devices by determining what inputs are important and outcomes that could improve the design process. “I like to say my research is about how to help people who can’t walk be able to walk, and how to help those who do walk. Walk better.”Patrick said. “That’s kind of my aim. Walking improves the quality of life, so it’s really important we help those facing challenges when we can.”The COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges to Patrick’s research as well. Patrick’s research—which works with human studies—had been delayed several times by the health and availability of her subjects. Patrick said the process of conducting her research includes investigating the user’s needs from various angles. From the perspective of the user themselves to their physician and family members, Patrick said it is necessary to build a complete picture of them.Patrick is determined to make a positive impact on the lives of the people she works with. as well as the thousands more like them. Although the specific project she is working on will not be going to market. Patrick said she is hopeful that the research she is conducting could one day influence the development of a product that makes its way to those who could greatly benefit from the support.9.What inspired Patrick to start the project?A.Her strong desire to help the old.B.Her grandmother’s disability.C.Her assignment in university.D.Her enthusiasm about mechanical engineering.10.What is the purpose of Patrick’s research?A.To figure out the facts about inputs.B.To cope with the important challenges.C.To improve the lives of those in need.D.To perfect the design process.11.What was the necessary step when Patrick conducted the research?

This may be because their brains aren’t developed enough to properly assess how high the stakes (利害关系) are, and adapt theirbehaviour accordingly.Catherine Insel, at Harvard University, and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring their brains. In some rounds of the game,participants could earn 20 cents fora correct response, while an incorrect one would cost them 10 cents. But in rounds with higher stakes,correct responses were worth a dollar, and wrong answers lost the participants 50 cents.The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds, the younger ones didn’t —their performance didn’t change in line with whether the stakes were low or high. And the older the volunteers were, the more improved their performance was.When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers,they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were. A region in the brain, which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important. The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors, such as driving too fast, for instance, especially when one of their friends is nearby.Insel thinks schools should reconsider the way they test performance in teenagers. “This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. A better idea would be to use a variety of smaller tests, conducted throughout the year.It’s not all bad news for teens, though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t “important”, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.13.Why did the researchers set different bets in the game?A.To teach how to make money.B.To better monitor participants’brains.C.To show the varied risk levels of the game.D.To meet the needs of different participants.14.What does the underlined word “hazardous”probably mean? A.Dangerous. B.Abusive.C.Specific. D.Addictive.15.What should be kept in mind while assessing students’performance?A.It should not be judged by only one exam.B.The items in exams should not be too difficult.C.Exam-focused education should not be adopted. D.Examination is not a good means of evaluating students. 16.What is Insel’s attitude to teenagers’putting effort into “unimportant”tasks?A.Unclear. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Negative. (2022·江苏徐州·徐州市第七中学校考模拟预测)Have you everwondered what the food you eat every day can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or culinary (烹饪的) traditions are so important to your culture? There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us.On a larger scale, food is an important part of culture. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places.In China, harmony is a vital quality in almost every aspect of life. This is reflected in Chinese cuisine, where almost every flavor is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavors that go well together. The cuisine of the United States also reflects its history. The European colonization of the Americas brought European ingredients and cooking styles to the U.S.As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access cuisinesfrom different cultures. We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our culture's food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods. It's important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.17.What does the author want to express in Paragraph 1?A.A link between food and culture.B.Connections between food and the growth of people. C.Different types of food.D.Concerns about food and culture.18.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Traditional food. B.Traditional culture.C.One generation. D.Childhood.19.How do people feel about Chinese food?A.It is rich in all kinds of vitamins.B.It balances the dishes of different countries.C.It is extremely crucial to balance people's daily life.D.It contains abundant dishes with various flavors.20.What can we learn about food from this passage?A.It binds us to the society, holding a special and personal value for us. B.The European colonist in Americas brought the ingredients and cooking styles from their hometown to the USA.C.In Chinese culture, harmony in cuisine is of little significance. D.We should refuse the cuisines in other cultures.参考答案1.C 2.D 3.B 4.B 5.C 6.A 7.D 8.C 9.B 10.C 11.A 12.D 13.C 14.A 15.A 16.B 17.A 18.A 19.D 20.B。
