考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023湖北武汉二模)Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone”thinks the same way?Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is pletely tailored to you and your beliefs,reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber(回音室) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices.Social media sites like Meta,Twitter,and YouTube connect groups of likeminded users together based on shared content preferences.As a result,people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.Social media panies therefore rely on algorithms(算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention.The algorithms focus on what we “like”,and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us fortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media,we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our fort zone.While this bees increasingly challenging,there are things we can do.The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources.Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.Next,read each thing you see with a critical eye.Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly stly,attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions,we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.1.What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A.People contact likeminded online users effectively.B.People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C.People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D.People only get information confirming their beliefs.2.Whatdoes“beefup”underlinedinparagraph3mean?A.Track.B.Improve.C.Provide.D.Identify.3.Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A.Criticizing fake news on social media.B.Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C.Researching primary sources of information.D.Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.4.What is the purpose of the text?A.To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B.To ask people not to take in information blindly.C.To promote the use of various social media sites.D.To inform people of new technology developments.Passage2(2023湖南邵阳二模)Our planet Earth is full of life and has incredible biodiversity.Biological diversity or biodiversity is the base of human existence and fundamental to its wellbeing.Species are the building blocks of this life on Earth,and it is believed that the species that are at present globally found have continuously evolved over 65 million years since the Last Mass Extinction.However,the nature and extent of our planet’s biodiversity at all levels have not been pletely evaluated y et.Thus,the exact number of species found in the world remains unknown.Over the years,with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the discovery of more new species,it has been approximated that there are,at present,10 million to 14 million species on Earth,of which 1.2 million species have been databased.This means that still more than 86% of the terrestrial(陆生的) and 91% of the marine species remain unknown.Every year,taxonomists(分类学家)describe thousands of species,some of which are pletely new to science,while in some cases,the species and subspecies are closely examined and determined whether they can be considered distinct species.A study has revealed that over 99.9% of all species amounting to more than 5 billion species that ever lived here,are believed to be extinct.At present,our planet houses millions of species,among which 86% live on land,13% in the deepsubsurface,and a mere 1% in the oceans.However,biodiversity is not evenly distributed on Earth,and its number varies greatly on different continents.The undiscovered and misidentified species slow our ability to understand patterns and changes in global biodiversity and the rate of species extinctions(灭绝).Even after several years of taxonomic studies,only 14% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species have been officially added to the centraldatabase.Necessarily,some species will bee extinct before researchers realize they ever existed.5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“marine”meaninparagraph1?A.Rare.B.Oceanic.C.Endangered.D.Novel.6.What do taxonomists usually do?A.Examine distribution of species.B.pare species from subspecies.C.Decide the situation of the species.D.Describe diversity of newfound species.7.Which of the following can describe the distribution of the Earth’s biodiversity?A.Unequal.B.Accumulative.C.Average.D.Maximum.8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.The central database covers all species.B.The rate of species extinctions is rather high.C.Many undiscovered species have been extinct.D.Humans know little about endangered species.Passage3(2023辽宁鞍山一模)Humans are developing new places to live in.In the south of Silicon Valley sits the Monterey Peninsula,where you’ll find a moveable munity that’s being designed as a rest region for the region’s tech elit es(精英).Walden Monterey was founded in 2016 by developer Nick Jekogian,who set out to turn the 609acre land into a coastal “agrihood” munity,a growing trend among the tech elites in which they avoid the idea of belonging to golf munities,unlike whatthe previous generations have done,and instead enjoy agricultural neighborhoods that focus on nature,farms,and outdoor living.The property plans to build 22 homes in total,with the lots they sit costing about $1 million each(three lots have been sold,as of September 2018).After the sales are made,buyers can work with a team of more than 20 architects assembled by Jekogian to then pay additional millions each for home construction.A key step in the buying process involves potential buyers actually visiting the land.Jekogian invites people to stay in “moveable rooms” or small moveable glass houses,which allow them to experience what living on the land would actually be like.But now,Walden Monterey will soon provide a new way to try out the land.The design studio DFA,founded by Laith Sayigh,was approached by Walden Monterey to design a house for potential buyers to stay each in while they think about purchase decisions.The 3Dprinted houses,named Galini Sleeping Pods,are 300 square feet in size,can be moved anywhere,are powered by solar panels,wind turbines and Tesla batteries,and will cost about $250,000 each.Sayigh told BusinessInsider that they’ re not just a future staple for the Walden Monterey munity,but that they represent the next generation of construction technology.9.What life do the tech elites like according to the text?A.Getting close to nature.B.Playing golf after work.C.Living in a big house.D.Having a house in Silicon Valley.10.What’s the purpose of designing Galini Sleeping Pods?A.To attract more people to visit the design studio DFA.B.To give a rule for the future construction technology.C.To call on architects to build more moveable munities.D.To offer buyers chances to try living in a moveable house.11.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”inthelastparagraphreferto?A.Solar panels.B.The 3Dprinted houses.C.Tesla batteries.D.The Walden Monterey munity.12.What can we infer from the text?A.The style of the houses depends on buyers’ own ideas.B.Buyers should pay off the expense of the houses in one attempt.C.The money spent on constructing the houses is more than the cost of the lots.D.Buyers of the houses are forbidden to get involved in the process of constructing. 答案：考点分类练(八) 词句猜测题(2)Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

题型综合练(十九)一、阅读理解Athat would also help to increase my skills and confidence.Having previously suffered from depression and anxiety，I knew a full－time job would be more of a long－term goal.When I was introduced to V olunteering Matters，I was particularly interested in the handyperson service.I was a bit nervous though as it was brand new to me.After chatting with the project coordinator，I signed up and went through some initial training，which was really relaxing and enjoyable.In February，I took up the role as a handyperson organizer，which means it is my responsibility to speak to older people who require our service.After that，I assign the job request to the most appropriate volunteers，based on their location and skills.It usually takes about one hour per evening to complete my task.Having done this role now for six months，I have learned a great deal and am very proud to be a part of this project.I have seen first－hand how important it is to help older people，who would really struggle without our service.I really feel that I am doing my bit to help others and give something back.It has helped me to believe in myself and I have learned some new skills，wh ich I didn’t believe I could ever do，especially my communication，organization and interpersonal skills.It’s great to be able to build a relationship with our clients and volunteers and it is also a lot of fun.My confidence has increased and I absolutely love my volunteer organizer role.Most recently，I have also been helping the project coordinator with administration tasks and publicity(宣传)work for the service，which means I am improving my IT knowledge as well.It means a lot that I have received help and support from V olunteering Matters.At the same time，I am helping the organization and its beneficiaries(受益者)too.[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在失业多年之后，到一个慈善机构担任志愿者。

专题能力提升练十七限时30分钟(2015·浙江六校联考)When we asked Oprah to pick the 10 books she had read in the past decade that had mattered to her most, she was momentarily stumped. For someone who describes herself as “inspired, challenged, and sustained”by books, it was almost impossible for Oprah to stay within our limit of 10. Still, she offered up the following, but she emphasized that it was only a sampler of delightful titles that have also managed to teach her—and all of us—a few things.1. Discover the Power Within YouBy Eric Butterworth256 pages; Harper OneAdvice from the internationally known spiritual teacher.2. A New EarthBy Eckhart Tolle316 pages; PlumeThere’s a reason Oprah picked this for her Book Club in 2008—and that she gave audience members Post—it pens along with their copies. So much wisdom, so little time! A real-life guide to living your best life.3. The Poisonwood BibleBy Barbara Kingsolver576 pages; Harper PerennialThis novel is about a family involved in the political trouble of postcolonial Africa. It established Kingsolver as one of our wisest observers of history, politics, and human nature.4. NightBy Elie Wiesel120 pages; Hill and WangA memoir(回忆录)of a childhood suffered in concentration camps during the Holocaust. It’s horrific but uplifting. “I gain courage from his courage, ”Oprah says.5. A Fine BalanceBy Rohinton Mistry624 pages; VintageA Dickensian novel about India during the Emergency. Like the aftermath of September 11, it teaches us about cultures we haven’t understood. “It takes us out of our own little shell and exposes us to a whole other world out there, ”Oprah says.6. East of EdenBy John Steinbeck608 pages; PenguinThis classic is about good and evil as played out in alate-19th-century California ranch family. If you didn’t read it in high school, read it now. If you did, reread it!7. The Story of Edgar SawtelleBy David Wroblewski576 pages; Harper CollinsA kind of Hamlet on the prairie, this is the wrenching(令人痛苦的)story of a mute boy and his dog. Oprah compares it to East of Eden and To Kill a Micking bird.8. The Pillars of the EarthBy Ken Follett973 pages; PenguinAbout the challenges of building cathedrals in 12th-century England. This novel couldn’t be more different in setting, time, and plot from the author’s breakthrough success—Eye of the Needle. Oprah declares it simply “great”.9. The Bluest EyeBy Toni Morrison224 pages; PenguinHow to choose among the great Morrison’s novels? Start with this one about a girl who thinks she has to have blue eyes to be beautiful. Oprah considered it one of the best in a crowded Morrison field.10. The Known WorldBy Edward P. Jones400 pages, Harper CollinsWhen this book was published in 2003, it shocked everybody with its description of slave-owning blacks before the Civil War. A daring, unusual examination of race.【文章大意】当我们让奥普拉给出一些读书的建议时, 她推荐了10本她读过的书。

Panicked crowds move fast and let out a large amount of energy, usually compared to the energy made by a running train: once a crowd gets moving it is very hard to stop, and the flow of people could easily sweep you off your feet.It is interesting to see that the force of only 6 or 7 people pushing in the same direction can cause up to 1, 000 pounds of force—enough to break brick walls. During a deadly stampede, people can even die standing up. People die when pressure is put to their bodies in a front to back direction, causing them not to be able to breathe.If you are in a crowd, the first and most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and find different exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out.Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on, and know that in a crowd of moving people wet ground can cause you to fall.When in danger, a few seconds can make a difference, giving you the possibility of taking advantage of your escaping route. Always stay closer to the escape route. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure, do not stand still or sit down, because you could easily get trampled. Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd; take advantage of any space that may open up to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer—it gives you movement and protects your chest. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up because you are injured, get someone to pull you back up. If you have kids, lift them up.If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms; do not lie on your stomach or back.The worst thing is to be pushed by the crowd against an unmoving object. Try to stay away from walls, fences or something like this, as the crowd pressure can build up rapidly.【文章大意】人群中发生蜂拥事件会造成大量人员伤亡, 作者在本文中主要讲述了在处于人群中时, 应该如何去做以防意外发生.1. In a stampede people may die standing up mainly because______.A. they can’t breathe freelyB. they push in the same directionC. they are not able to get upD. they aren’t familiar with their surroundings【解析】选A.细节理解题.根据第二段可知, 在致命的蜂拥事件中, 人们甚至站着就死去了, 原因是当压力从他们的身体前方向后方施加时, 他们不能呼吸, 由此可知A项正确.【误区警示】本题可能会误选其他选项, 其实仔细阅读文章内容可知其他三个选项都不是其真正的原因.2. What will you do first if you are in a crowd?A. Move in the same direction with others.B. Find exits and know how to get out.C. Know about the type of ground.D. Keep your hands up by your chest.【解析】选B.细节理解题.根据第三段可知, 如果你在人群中, 首先的也是最重要的事情是熟悉周围的环境并找到不同的出口.无论你在哪里, 务必确保你总是知道怎么能出去.3. When in danger, to make a difference, you should______.A. fight against the pressureB. stand still where you areC. sit down covering your headD. move along the escape route【解析】选D.推理判断题.根据第五段可知, 处于危险中时, 确保你可以利用你的逃跑路线, 不要与人群的压力相对抗, 不要站着不动或坐下来, 由此可判断D项正确.4. The passage is mainly about______.A. how to stay far away from a crowdB. what to do when you are in a crowdC. where to go when you are in dangerD. how to get out of a big crowd【解析】选B.主旨大意题.第一、二段导入文章的话题, 拥挤的人群可能造成人的死亡, 后面详细叙述了当你处于人群中时, 应该如何去做以防意外发生, 由此可判断B项正确.【误区警示】本题可能会误选C、D项, “处于危险中时你应该去哪里”和“如何脱离拥挤的人群”只是文章内容的一小部分, 不可以用来概括文章的中心话题, 所以都不是作者的写作目的.5. The underlined words “sweep you off your feet”probably mean______.A. make you feel excitedB. make you fall downC. make you run awayD. make you stand still【解析】选 B.词义猜测题.根据上下文及常识可知, 在拥挤的人群中, 脚可能因压力而离开地面, 从而跌倒.这样的话就会导致人因踩踏而死亡.(2015·浙江五校联考) Ensure you are prepared for your exams by understanding the processes, dates and support information relating to examinations.

But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.Ms Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.The report appears in the journal Child Development.More than three hundred children aged four and five were observed in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk of reading problems later.For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR, for Sit Together And Read. The project is based in Ohio State. Ittests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.Laura Justice in Ohio State was an investigator for the study. She heads the Preschool Language and Literacy Laboratory. She says one of the areas that interest researchers is known as the“locus of learn ing”. “Where is it that a child learns something? Where is that space? We think we have identified it pretty well in terms of fostering(助长)some children’s knowledge about print. ”says Laura Justice. She also says this knowledge can be gained by having focused discussions when reading a book to a child. Laura Justice says, “We think we understand how information about print is transmitted from the adult to the child. And we think we have centered on this intervention that really helps adults center on the things that children need and want to learn. ”There are different ways that teachers and parents can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word, “This is ‘dog’. ”They can discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print—for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是幼儿教育方面的一个新的研究结果, 告诉我们要更多地关注文字和语言方面的教育, 而不仅仅是图片的教育.10.

专题能力提升练十八限时30分钟Robots are common in today’s world. They manufacture cars, work in space, explore oceans, clean up oil spills and investigate dangerous environments. And now, scientists at the University of Manchester are using a robot as a laboratory partner.The researchers at the university created the robot in 2009 and named it Adam. Despite the name, Adam is not a humanoid robot. It is about the size of a car.Adam was built to do science and make discoveries. Ross King is the leader of the University of Manchester research team. He says the robot made a discovery about yeast(酵母), a kind of fungus used in science as a model for human cells.“Adam hypothesized certain functions of genes within yeast and experimentally tested these hypothesizes and confirmed them. So it both hypothesized and confirmed new scientific knowledge. ”Adam’s success as a scientist led to the creation of another robot scientist named Eve. Researchers developed Eve to design and testdrugs for tropical and neglected diseases. These diseases kill and infect millions of people each year.Drug development is slow and costly. Experts say it can take more than 10 years and about $1 billion to discover and develop new medicines. Drug manufacturers are unlikely to get their investment money back.So the University of Manchester developed a low-cost test that shows whether or not a chemical is likely to be made into an effective medicine. Mr King says that other drug testing methods were not very effective.“How it works conventionally is you use robotics(机器人技术)as well and you have a large collection of possible drugs. You test every single compound(复合物). And you start at the beginning of your library and continue until the end, and stop. So it’s not a very intelligent process. The robotics doesn’t learn anything as it goes along, even if it’s tested a million compounds, it still doesn’t have any expectation of what will happen next when it tests a new compound. ”Mr King says that Eve is different because the robot learns as it tests different compounds. He says the robot is designed to ignore compounds that it thinks unlikely to be good. It will only test the compounds which have a good chance of working.Eve has discovered that a compound known to be effective against cancer might also be used to fight against malaria and other tropical diseases.Mr King says he hopes to completely automate the drug testing。

题型三 ⎪⎪ 阅读理解[全国卷3 年考情分析]从上表可以看出，高考英语阅读理解题，所选材料体裁多样、语言地道、内容丰富、贴近生活、有很强的时代气息。

阅读理解文章具有英语语言独有的文化特征，试题信息量大，对考生阅读速度和快速处理信息的能力要求更高。

阅读理解的体裁以说明文、记叙文、应用文为主，议论文偶有考查，题型设置以细节理解题和推理判断题为主，兼顾词义猜测题和主旨大意题。

细节理解题相对简单，而其他三种题型相对较难，且在题型设置上，推理判断题的难度会适当加大。

本专题将对这四种题型进行递进式的指导。

一、读文的2 种方式——据情而选方式(一) 文章——问题——文章即先粗读文章，然后看问题，最后再通过精读文章来解答问题。

这是考生常用的按部就班的阅读方式，其特点是有利于考生把握文章的主旨和作者的态度。

但采用这种阅读方式的考生往往阅读速度较慢，因此难以在阅读时积极主动的预测文章内容。

方式(二) 问题——文章——问题即先将问题看一遍，然后带着问题去阅读文章，最后答题。

其特点是针对性强，节省答题时间，比较适用于解答事实性和细节性的问题，但是解答主旨性和推断性问题的效果不明显。

上面这两种读文方式的采用因人而异，无优劣之分。

当然，题型不同，读文的方式也应有所不同。

但无论采用哪种方式，一旦选定适合自身的方式，应持之以恒，形成读文做题的习惯。

二、命题的8 大常考处——重点关注阅读理解的命题点有一定规律可寻，掌握命题规律，能帮助考生明确阅读时应该重点关注的内容，抓阅读的“敏感点”，提高阅读的针对性，快速、准确锁定信息区间，为准确解题圈定信息源。

1．段首、段尾处常考无论是议论文还是说明文，一篇文章往往分成几个部分或层次进行说明和论证，每个段落一般都是一个部分或者一个层次。

英美作者写文章的逻辑性非常强，文章结构都非常规范，因此每个段落的首句和尾句也经常是该段落的主旨句，也是出题的重点区域。

2．转折处常考文章的转折处也是体现作者观点和文章主题的地方，作者经常会通过先抑后扬的方法在转折词之后才明确提出自己的观点。

高考英语阅读理解真题（2018—19全国卷3B篇）详解2018Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains are sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, therewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first20000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in setting down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City-its present population is 762.24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rick.C. Almost everyone gave upD. Half of them died.26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were shot of food.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a cityB. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.答案24答案C,推理判断题。

高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解(附参考答案) ATERNANG,Mon—More than 10 000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks.People straggling higher ground were just in time to get away from the destroy of the flood.Most of the flood victims had to leave their possessions behind.The flood victims are now housed in various make-shift relief centers in the nearby town of Tu lang.“Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people.”A government spokesman said,“In fact,money,food and clothing have begun to come in from p ublic-spirited organizations and generous persons.”According to latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.The whole town is expected to be totally covered by water.So far no casualty has been reported.56.According to the latest report .A.it had been raining for six daysB.more than 10 000 people had no place to liveC.the town had already been totally floodedD.the government tried its best to help the homeless people57.With the help of the government,the flood victims .A.were safe at higher placeB.got

that is given to the victimsC.the person killed or injured in an accidentD.the things lost in the floodBGlynis Davis:I first piled on the ponds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards.Then I joined a slimming club.My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months.I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked.But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits.I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen.Instead of losing the pounds.I put them on.I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.Roz Juma:To be honest,I never weigh myself any more I’ve leant to be happy with myself.It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips.My idea is simple.You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting.Instea d,you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body.This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and,most of all.I’m happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year.I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!That might have been my problem——perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself.Winning a national competition makes everything worse,though,because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you.I feel a complete failure because I’ve put onweight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin,I’d always been about 110 pounds,but th e pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year.Every so often I try to go on a diet …I’m really good on a few days,then end up having the childr en’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate——my weakness.I’d like to be slim,but right now my duty is the children and home.I might take more exercise when my kids are older.59.What do you think

to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft thisyear”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.63.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because .A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC.he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD.he is thought highly of in the international world64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A.there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC.time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .A.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A.it can show NBA need talentsB.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC.its whole level will be improvedD.it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous67.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA,he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .A.rules of basketballB.the speedC.cultureD.techniquesDAntigua and Barbuda is the 32nd

Mr.Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.He had been to London where he had drawn ￡50 from the bank,and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book.At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby,badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift.Mr.Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way.As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago.Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the ￡50 that he had put in his pocket book.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea.He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour.He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go.He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him.After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car.Mr.Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber,but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr.Green’s back.The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted M r.Green’s name and address.Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said,“No,I want your name and address now.You will have to appear at the police court later.”So,Mr.Green gave the policeman his name and address.The policeman wro te it down,put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving.Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.He had given up all hope of his ￡50,but just as he reached the outskirts of London,the passenger said he wanted to get out here.Mr.Green stopped the car,the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift.You’ve been good to me.This is the least I can do in return.”And he handed Mr.Green the policeman’s notebook.

savings.Recycling plastics and aluminum,for instance,uses only 5% to 10% as much energy as producing new plastic or smelting(提炼)aluminum.Long before most of us even noticed what we now call “the environment,” Buckminster Fuller said,“Pollution is nothing but the resources(资源)we are not harvesting.We allow them to be left around because we’ve been ignorant of their value.” To take one example,let’s compare the throwaway economy(经济)with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day.Each empty can of its food weighs 40g.In a throwaway economy,you would throw away 5,475 cans over the cat’s 15-year lifetime.That’s 219kg of steel—more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat’s weight.In a recycling economy,we would make one set of 100 cans to start with,then replace them over and over again with recycled cans.Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing,we’d have to make an extra 10 cans each year.But in all,only 150 cans will be used up over the cat’s lifetime—and we’ll still have 100 left over for the next cat.Instead of using up 219kg of steel,we’ve used only 6kg.And becau se the process of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel,we’ve also achieved the following significant savings:in energy use—47% to 74%;in air pollution—85%;in water pollution—35%;in water use—40%.1.What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?A.It is becoming more serious.B.It destroys the environment.C.It benefits the economy.D.It is t he resources yet to be used.2.How many cans will be used up in a cat’s 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?A.50.B.100.C.150.D.250.3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To promote the idea of recycling.B.To introduce an environmentalist.C.To discuss the causes of pollution.D.To defend the throwaway economy.〚导学号44994000〛B(2017·浙江温州九校高三期末)As Charlotte arrived at the big living room,her mother Sarah and her new stepfather(继父)Robert Graham turned from the window and faced her.We shall never have Mom to ourselves again,Charlotte thought.If only she were just a kid,and could cry wildly in anger on the floor!Instead,she forced a smile.She rushed forward and threw her arms round Sarah and kissed her wildly,knocking her hat crooked(歪的)and making her cry out.“Darling!You’ll knock me down!”“You look great,mom!”Charlotte cried and knew she was shouting.She was hot again,red and untidy and looking like the last kind of girl any man would want to have as a stepdaughter.Her brother Nicholas,however,went to the other extreme.He was so calm that he was positively rude,and Charlotte knew before he started it that he was going to act like a bad schoolboy.“Oh Nicholas,do behave!” Sarah cried.“Robert,they’re showing off!”Although she was laughing,they both heard the little ring of disappointment in her voice,and both knew that they were letting her down.They had surely never had such a difficult moment.It was Robert Graham who saved the situation.He came forward holding out both hands.“I am deeply grateful to you two young peop le.You’ve had Sarah to yourselves for a long time.Thank you for agreeing to share her with me.I know it can’t be easy.”And although this was just the sort of words they would call dull,the sincerity(真诚)gave it a guarantee.They knew he meant what

Kate’s mind like an electric shock.An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later.If it were not stopped,that long train,full of passengers,would fall into the stream.“Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought.But who was to go?She would have to go herself.There was no one else.In wind and rain she started on her difficult w ay.Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River,a bridge also built of wood,just like the bridge across Honey Creek.The storm had not washed this away,but there was no footpath across it.She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper.With great care she began the dangerous crossing,sometimes on her hands and knees,hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below.If she should slip,she would fall between the sleepers,into the rapidly flowing stream.At last—she never knew how long it had taken her—she felt solid ground under her feet.But there was no time to rest.She still had to run more than half a mile and had onlya few minutes left.Unless she reached the station before the express did,many,many lives would be lost.She did reach the station just as the train came into sight.Fortunately thestation-master was standing outside.“The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh,please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.The station-master went pale.He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light.He waved the red light as the train came into the station.It was not a second too early.7.What did Kate decide to do?A.Stop the express train.B.Check the signal light.C.Meet the passengers.D.Visit the station-master.8.Which of the following words best descri bes Kate’s journey?A.Fruitless.B.Boring.C.Well-planned.D.Risky.9.Why did the station-master turn pale?A.He suddenly fell ill.B.He realized the danger.C.He discovered his mistake.D.He became over-excited.〚导学号44994002〛D(原创)It began to rain yesterday morning and it still hasn’t stopped.Rain suggests gentle.It has not been gentle.The rain barrel,waiting to be attached to the downspout,was knocked over,not to mention a few chairs in the air.The university choir was to be transported to our venue(演出地点)by 4:45 p.m.They would be missing dinner at their dormitory,so one of our choir members prepared both a vegetarian meal as well as a non-vegetarian meal for the 25 singers.Others of us prepared side-dishes.Their bus never arrived for them.In the pouring rain,they had to take the taxi from Hyde Park to a stop near our concert site.Several of our members,dressed in concert dress,drove to the station making several trips to pick up the student singers,and not all of them arrived on the same train.It was amazing to see a numb er of volunteers,dripping wet themselves volunteering again to drive the students back to the university.The beauty of this was seeing everyone giving of themselves.Not only that,but offering to drive the students the distance back to the university,which was not a short commute(通勤).After many phone calls,still not quite certain what happened to arrival bus,but there was a bus waiting to take them back.Hopefully,everything will be in order today.10.What damaged the author’s pl an?A.The heavy rain.B.The heavy snow.C.The strong wind.D.The university choir.11.What did one of the choir members prepare for dinner for the 25 singers?A.Drink and fruit.B.Some snacks.C.Some side-dishes.D.A vegetarian meal and a non-vegetarian meal.12.What’s the most moving in the passage?A.Everything in order.B.The delicious dinner.C.Volunteers’ unselfish help.D.Several trips to the station.13.The underlined phrase “giving of” means in the last paragraph.A.releasingB.dedicatingC.losingD.helping参考答案阅读理解提升练(一) 细节理解题A【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them.An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally,which is published this month in TheLancet(柳叶刀)PublicHealth,found that the more of this labor women do,the worse their mental health.The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men.Housework and child care,the research found,have much less of an impact on men’s mental health.That’s probably because they do so much less of it.In the United States,women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day,pared with 2.8 hours for men,according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.In Greece,women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half.Even in the most genderequal countries,like Sweden,women do 50 minutes more a day than men.It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally lesstimesensitive.For example,men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks,like mowing the lawn,that are done less often and on their own schedule.Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times,like preparing meals or cleaning up.Social expectations probably also play a role.Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean,for instance,and feel judged if they don’t.Men,on the other hand,are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment.The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be wele.1.Howdoestheauthorshowtheresearchfindingsinparagraphs2and3?A.By giving examples.B.By listing figures.C.By making analysis.D.By telling stories.2.What does the underlined word “timesensitive” mean in paragraph 4?A.Flexible.B.Valuable.C.Demanding in timing.D.Challenging in skills.3.What can we learn from paragraph 5?A.Women are generally expected to do more household labor.B.Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean.C.Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist.D.Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework.4.What is the text mainly about?A.Facts that men and women are unequal.B.Bad effects that housework has on women.C.Responsibilities that women share in families.D.Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally.Passage2(2023浙江宁波二模)Humans are not the animal kingdom’s only fashionistas.Tits(山雀) can be fashion followers,too,apparently.A latest study shows that,given the chance,they decoratetheir nests with this season’s musthave colour.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by HenrySmith Williams,an American naturalist.He noticed that when he put various colouredballs of yarn (纱) out in his garden,almost always one and only one became popularthat s eason for being included into local birds’ nests.But which particular colour was favoured varied from season to season.This suggested that the colour chosen byone of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.Williams’s work was,however,forgotten u ntil they came across it while followingup on a different study,published by a team at the University of Toulouse,suggesting fashionfollowing,too.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment,but this time to collect some actual numbers.The birds they followed were part of a wellmonitored population of blue tits in a wood near the institute.Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist nets.That allowed the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by recording their arrival at foodcontainers throughout the wood.Instead of food,these containers were loaded with wool of different colours.Interestingly,researchers soon found that most nests of bluetits included only the colour of the wool first chosen by a nestbuilder.Tits,then,do seem to be “on trend”,when it es to nestbuilding materials.Whythat should happen remains obscure.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds,and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit.Williams’s original work,though,suggests such initial choices are at random—a bit like those of the leaders of human fashions.5.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin contributed to William’s work.B.Early birds’ colour preference was copied by their fellows.C.The yarn was the most popular material to decorate local birds’ nests.D.The colour of the yarn favoured by local birds was fixed throughout the year.6.How did Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin improve Williams’s experiment?A.They observed the blue tits.B.They studied the habits of blue tits.C.They adopted the datacollecting method.D.They fitted tracking devices to food containers.7.What does the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 5 mean?A.Hidden.B.Evident.C.plicated.D.Shallow.8.What is the main idea of the text?A.Birds favour certain colours in decoration.B.Young birds follow their elders in fashion.C.Young birds are just as intelligent as people.D.Birds are just as fashionconscious as people.Passage3(2023福建厦门二模)In a new study,Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons plex categorization tests that highlevel thinking would not aid in solving.Instead,the pigeons,by trial and error,eventually were able to memorize enough situations in thetest.This basic process of making associations—considered a lowerlevel thinking technique—is the same between the testtaking pigeons and the latest AI advances.The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning:one declarative learning,is based on exercising reason according to a set of rules or strategies—a socalled higher level of learning owned mostly by people.The other,associative learning,centers on recognizing and making connections between objects orpatterns,such as “skyblue” and “waterwet”.Wasserman’s team designed a difficult test to find out whether the pigeons use declarative or associative learning.Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus (刺激)and had to decide,by pecking(啄) a button on the right or on the left,to which category that stimulus belonged.What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task.They have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur.Over hundreds of tests,the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right.“The pigeons are like AI masters,” Wasserman says.“Both of them employ associative learning,and yet that baselevel thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully.”If people were to take the same test,they’d score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies.Those rules would get in the way of learning.The pigeon doe sn’t have that highlevel thinking process.But it doesn’t get in the way of their learning.Infact,in some ways it facilitates it.“People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm (算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says,“yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals,it is discounted as inflexible and unplicated.”9.Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning?A.Tom refuses to put hands on hot stoves after burns.B.Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves.C.Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies.D.Emily figures out math problems with logic.10.How did the pigeons improve their performance in the test?A.By pecking the stimuli.B.By finding rules or logic.C.By peting with each other.D.By making numerous attempts.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.AI and man use the same learning pattern.B.Associative learning is underestimated.C.People think highly of declarative learning.D.Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms.12.Which can be a suitable title of the text?A.Pigeon’s Peck Can Mirror High TechB.AI Contributes to a New Learning PatternC.AI Can Enrich Human Learning ExperienceD.Pigeon’s Learning Largely Extends High Tech答案：文体分类练(三) 说明文之科普知识类Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

Climbing Without RopesThe popular image of the mountain climber is of a person carefully climbing a steep cliff with a network of safety ropes, but it is not the only kind. Many climbers now enjoy bouldering. It’s more accessible and better for the environment.Here is an example of a climber addressing a bouldering problem.Figure 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The left one appears easier because it has a jug within easy reach, but look what happens if she chooses that direction. She gets stuck on the rock and has to go back down. Sometimes that is even difficult than going up.Figure 2:The climber takes the one to the right this time. using a foothold and placing her right hand in a crimp, she is able to life herself up and locate other handholds. After only a few moves, she is able to throw her leg over the top of the boulder and pull herselfup.21. According to the passage, bouldering ________.A. is an indoor sportB. has no safety protectionC. needs maps and equipmentD. is a steep cliff climbing22. Bouldering bees popular because ________.A. it challenges the limitsB. it costs lessC. it builds minds and bodiesD. it is a team game23. According to the example, the right route is ________.A. a shortcutB. a dead endC. tough but to the topD. lined with jugsBFinding true love can be prey tough for a lot of people, but a lady from a fairly well-known San Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $10,000 to any of her friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn’t just sit outside an employer’s building and wait for someone to offer it to her, so why should finding a husband be any different? But instead of going out and meeting new people she decided to write an email to all her friends, offering to give them $10,000 on her wedding day if any of them managed to introduceher to her future husband.“I am writing you today because I’ve decided to make an aggressive action plan on finding the man that I get to hang out with forever,” the woman writes in her email. “Introducing me to my husband is just not high on your to-do list. But I think I have an idea that might change that…” You guessed it, and this is where she offers to reward her “closest friends” with cold hard cash.“I will personally give ten thousand dollars to the friend who introduces me to my husband.”Here is how the program works:Step 1: You set me up on a date with a man.Step 2: I marry that man.Step 3: I give you $10,000 on my wedding day.I know you’re thinking that this is nuts. Just plain crazy. ‘You can find a husband without giving $10,000.’ Well for starters, thank you! I’m happy.”24. What does the lady offer $10,000 to any of her friends for?A. Celebrating the fact that she has made a decision to find a husband.B. Checking the power of money among her circle of friends.C. Encouraging her friends to help find her Mr. Right.D.

To show that waiting patiently is necessary to get a job.D. To state that we need to be patient before a job is offered.27. What kind of person do you think the lady is?A. AdventurousB. ImaginativeC. ConsiderateD. PoliteCTaxi-booking app Uber agreed to sell its business in China to Didi Chuxing. The two firms had been fierce petitors, but Didi Chuxing had controlled the Chinese market with an 87% share.Uber China launched in xx, but it had failed to make any profit for a long time. Cheng Wei, founder and chief executive of Didi Chuxing, said the two panies had learned a great deal from each other over the past two years in China. He added that the deal would set the mobile transportation industry on a healthier path of growth at a higher level. As part of the deal, Mr. Cheng would join the board of Uber, while Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick would a lso join Didi’s board.Uber’s China business would own its separate branding while US-based Uber Technologies would hold about 17.5% in the bined pany. Didi Chuxing is backed by Chinese Internet giants Tencent and Alibaba.Uber had been struggling to break into the Chinese market despite having Chinese search engine Baidu as an investor. Last February, the pany admitted it was losing more than $1 billion a year in China. “Funding their Chinese dreams was being too expensive for Uber,” Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijing-based consultancy BDA, told the BBC. Travis Kalanick said, “As a businessman, I’ve learned that being successful is about listening to your head as well as following your heart.”The fierce petition had led both panies to spend much more on their journeys. The bination is likely to see fewer such subsidies（补贴）. “One thing to watch carefully is how quickly consumers feel the impact as subsidies are withdrawn.” Mr. Clark added.The deal with Didi Chuxing came just days after China had agreed to provide a legal framework for taxi-ordering apps. Both Uber and Didi weled the decision. The new rules took effect last November and could, among other things, forbid such platforms to operate below cost.28. According to the second paragraph, what can we know?A. Being successful is about listening to your head and following your heart.B. The deal would make the mobile transportation industry grow much faster.C. Didi Chuxing had learnt more in China than Uber over the past two years.D. Mr. Cheng would be working as a member of the board of Uber as planned.29. What is the best title of the passage?A. Uber sold Chinese business to Didi ChuxingB. Using Didi Chuxing brings more subsidiesC. Listen to your head and follow your heartD. The new rules took effect last November30. What is the impact of the fierce petition between Uber and Didi?A. Uber dominated the Chinese market with an 87% share.B. China provided a legal framework for taxi-ordering apps.C. Funding their Chinese dreams became expensive for Uber.D. Chinese search engine Baidu became an investor of Uber’s.31. The passage is probably taken from a website about ________.A. appsB. politicsC. economyD. technologyDFeelings often run high where insects are concerned, with many people even sick when seeing them, let alone touch or swallow them. And yet insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing global population seeks more sources of food and feed.Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmental footprints than traditional alternatives, and they can be raised on leftovers. But cultural, social and economic problems remain, reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.“Insects present a nutritional oppo rtunity, but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced by what they are fed,” says Darja Dobermann, a researcher at the University of Nottingham. “In ideal conditions, insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to the food or fed systems, but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems without them turning into a more expensive version of poultry（家禽）for food,” says Dobermann.The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 100 countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa, up to 50% of dietary protein has e from insects, with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate, preferably in predictably large quantities. They are consumed at various life stages, as raw, fried, boiled, roasted or ground food.32. Which of the following is the advantage of raising insects for food?A. It will offer people work opportunities.B. It is environmentally friendly.C. It will replace traditional food.D. It will result in less leftovers33. What can be inferred from Dobermann’s words?A. Raising insects for food has bee popular.B. Raising insects can’t solve food problems.C. More should be done to raise insects for food.D. More money can be made by raising insects.34. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 stand for?A. InsectsB. RegulationsC. Feed systemsD. Supply systems35. Which is the possible title of this passage?A. How to Raise InsectsB.

AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of usable to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.1.

That’s OK, we don’t either.Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little m ore special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbr al lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky.

The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8.

The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2018 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger (合并)agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2018, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event.
