Only half(51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study.Almost two­thirds(62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages. So they can better understand a city’s culture(38% of respondents), talk with locals(24%) and go beyond the guide book(21%)．Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday, particularly when in unfamiliar surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn’t travel because of the problem.The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.If languages weren’t an issue then one in eight(12%) Br its would visit Japan. China, Italy and Russia were also popular choices. Despite the communication problem, Japan has seen a 7.5% increase in the number of British visitors between January and April, compared to this time last year.“The number of British travelers to Japan has been growing year on year，” according to Hollie Mantle, marketing and communication manager for the Japanese Tourist Board. “People are realizing that Japan is one of the most hospitable and beautiful countries on earth, with so many new experiences for travelers to try, not to mention world­class cuisine！”They had this message for Brits thinking about visiting：“Though some travelers worry about language barriers, as soon as you arrive in Japan, you’ll realize that people will go out of their way to help you enjoy their country. There really are few ‘barriers’—road signs and train stations are in English, you’ll find that people speak more English than they let on, and even when they don’t, they will go above and beyond to help you o ut.”1．What do we know from the first two paragraphs?A．Brits are poor at languages.B．Brits regret what they have done.C．Brits like relying on others.D．Brits are good at languages.2．How many Brits can’t order food correctly because of language barriers?A．About 10%. B．About 12%.C．About 20%. D．About 21%.3．How is the text mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes.B．By giving examples.C．By making description.D．By listing data.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了语言障碍成为英国人出国旅游的一大顾虑。

（3）curiously 考查副词。

分析可知，空处修饰其后的动词opened，应该用副词。

结合汉语提示可知，此处应填入副词curiously。

（4）patient 考查形容词。

根据空前的系动词be并结合汉语提示可知，此处应填入形容词patient，作表语。

In part one, I describe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism, starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people’s digital lives increasingly intolerable, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days. At the end of the thirty days, you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value. In the final chapter of part one, I’ll guide you through carrying out your own digital declutter. In doing so, I’ll draw on an experiment I ran in 2018 in which over 1，600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter. You’ll hear these participants’ stories and learn what strategies worked well for them, and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培养) a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle. In these chapters, I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (独处) and the necessity of cultivating high－quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use. Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you act on the big ideas of the chapter. You can view these practices as a toolbox meant to aid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that words for your particular circumstances.1. What is the book aimed at?A. Teaching critical thinking skills.B. Advocating a simple digital lifestyle.C. Solving philosophical problems.D. Promoting the use of a digital device.2.

专题检测卷(三十)阅读理解第二节(建议用时: 20分钟)AThe words we say to ourselves and others, as well as those we hear, generate positive thoughts or negative ones, and these are quickly changed into behaviors and emotional states. Here are some ways to use your own words to generate positive outcomes.1. Reword your problem.If you don’t feel well or you’re tired, never tell anyone that. Instead, tell them, “1, ”or “Once I’m fit and healthy, I’ll be fine. ”Every time you say something like “I’m feeling depressed, ”you’re simply adding to your burden, although unintentionally. The more you repeat your complaints, the worse you’ll feel.2. 2Avoid words such as “cannot” when referring to yourself. Instead, reach for a higher-energy statement such as, “When I can. . . ”Also avoid words such as “hopefully, ” or “maybe, ” or “one day, ”because when you use those words you are really saying, “I’d like to, but I can’t. ”3. Avoid destructive words.Remove words like “hate” from your vocabulary. Instead of, “I hate it when that happens, ”try “I prefer it when. . . ”3But if you attempt to make a few small changes in your speech you’ll see a big improvement in outcome. A friend of mine has been telling me for 15 years that he hates his job. Over time, he’s gradually found himself getting more of what he doesn’t w ant.4. Speak the words aloud when out of earshot.4This may feel at first like the onset of insanity, but soon you’ll be able to afford the best psychiatrists money can buy!5. When you’re down, use an affirming statement.Whenever something depresses you during the day, take a deep breath and silently pump yourself back up with an affirming statement filled with lots of adjectives and adverbs. Try, “I feel absolutely, amazingly, brightly healthy! ”5It really does work!A. Notice how your energy level changes.B. Say the words from step five out loud.C. Begin and end each communication on an up note.D. This is not easy to do, and you’ll forget.E. Start and end your day with a positive thought.F. Stay away from limiting words.G. I could use more energy.BMusic Makes You RelaxWhy do we feel relaxed or happy when we listen to music? Children aged two to five start to develop the feeling of “shyness”. Even when the child is on mother’s lap, any stranger getting really close, will make him feel puzzled and become very tense. However, if there is some music playing, this tension will be released and the child will feel more comfortable. 1That is why you feel relaxed and happy when you listen to music.Good music enriches your imagination.2When you are a child, it is your parents that are always with you. But as you get older and become independent, you start looking for someone else. But at first, you are very lonely. It is said that music remindschildren of Mother’s vo ice and heartbeat. As this makes them feel comfortable, it is done repeatedly. And in doing so, their ability to imagine things develops. 3Music helps children acquire the ability to concentrate, excites their curiosity and develops positiveness.4One is to listen carefully and the other is to just have sound in the background and not pay any attention to it. When children are listening to music carefully, they are trying to find something in the music and their mind will work in a positive way.Normally, when you are trying to find something, you will have to concentrate. By doing this over and over again, the ability to concentrate will develop, and will stimulate and excite curiosity even more. 5When children listen to music carefully, it helps the development of positiveness.With this positiveness and sense of relaxation, you will, without even knowing it, develop the tendency to become friends with others through music.A. It is the same with music.B. Music helps loosen tension.C. So music will help enrich your imagination.D. Enrich your mind with music.E. There are two ways of listening to music.F. Listen to music with all your mind on it.G. Human beings need someone to be together with.答案解析A【文章大意】本文主要介绍了怎样改善自己的消极心态, 通过一些具体的积极的思维等方法来防止自己消沉的心理等情况。

For one bookshop in Ramsgate, it was the other way around.Sapphire Bates, the owner, feared that she would have to close her doors, after rising costs and customers short of cash left her ￡800 in the red. However, an appeal on Twitter to help her Ramsgate store grabbed the attention of more than five million people, including authors who have sold millions of copies between them.“We need your help，” Bates wrote in the tweet. “I run Book Bodega, a bookshop in Ramsgate. Winter is killing us. It's so quiet and we need to make ￡800 by Tuesday to pay our bills.” Alongside the tweet, Bates posted a photo of her shop with no customers inside. Since reaching out to her followers for support, she had been surprised by the response.“We had people coming in all day, even people who weren't in a position to buy were coming in just to say, ‘We really love what you're doing, we like your shop and we want to see independent bookshops do well.’ There's been a lot of love.” Bates and her partner, Nicholas Turner, said the response had been “a__massive__motivational__boost”. They struggled to get authors in the door previously, because Ramsgate is usually not on publisher's radars for book launches. The bestseller author, Adam Kay saw the tweet and offered to do a free event in the shop. Other influential figures also shared Bates's appeal and got in touch to offer words of support.Now the shop came to life. People began filling up and more than 300 messages asked after books and ￡1000 worth of online orders. John Westwood, the business's managing partner, said, “Book lovers are a very special people, and everyone has been so supportive. Books are special things and nothing beats going into a bookstore. Seeing them, touching them, smelling them—it is a special place.”4．What do we know about Bates' shop according to the first three paragraphs?A．It enjoyed high popularity.B．It fell into financial difficulties.C．It sold many books on Twitter.D．It made contributions to the public.5．What does “a massive motivational boost” underlined in Paragraph 4 mean?A．A necessary comfort.B．A new milestone.C．A great encouragement.D．A promising prospect.6．What do John Westwood's words in the last paragraph indicate?A．Bookstores are loyal to the books.B．Book lovers never fail bookstores.C．Books are a thing, and virtue is another.D．Everything is inferior, but reading is high.7．What is the best title for the text?A．A cornered bookshop, a happy storyB．Bates braves challenges on hard timesC．Bates' tweet reaches out into the worldD．A struggling bookstore, hope on the wayC[2023·山东省济南市二模]A study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine, found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That's because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated (孤立的).Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors and the pandemic (疫情) increased the risks due to the need for seniors to stay home and isolate, according to a press release from the university.The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a three­month period. The participants were people aged65 and older who lived in Montreal. Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards, while the control group did not participate in any cultural events at all. The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life. “Our study showed that art­based activities may be an effective intervention，” lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in the press release. “On a global scale, this participatory ar t­based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases, according to Beauchet. For instance, the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community­based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health. Traditionally, these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools, community centers, and workplaces. “While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people, there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development，” Beauchet said. “Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”8．How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums?A．They get survival skills.B．They raise interest in art.C．They improve quality of life.D．They connect more with family.9．What can be inferred from Beauchet's words in Paragraph 3?A．Participants come from the whole world.B．The museum needs better cultural events.C．Face­to­face discussion is a useful intervention.D．Seniors should attend more art­based activities.10．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To advocate. B．To entertain.C．To advertise. D．To warn.11．Which may be a suitable title for the text?A．The Aged Form a Community to Reduce LonelinessB．Virtual Art­based Activities Bring People TogetherC．Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors' Well beingD．Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to MuseumsD[2023·山东省济宁市三模]What is the 15­minute city? It's the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about 15 minutes from home to work, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, schools, parks and health care. Supporters argue that 15­minute cities a re healthier for residents and the environment, creating united mini­communities, boosting local businesses, and encouraging people to get outside，walk, and cycle.Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas, but Paris has become its poster child. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions. In 2015, Paris was 17th on the list of bike­friendly cities; by 2019, it was 8th. Car ownership, meanwhile, dropped from 60 percent of house ho lds in 2001 to 35 percent in 2019. The 15­minute city figured largely in Hidalgo's successful 2020 re­election campaign. The idea has also gained support in the U．S.It clearly won't work everywhere: Not every city is as centralized and walkable as Paris. Some car­dominated cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix would be hard­pressed to provide everything people need within walking distance. In addition, some urban planners argue that the 15­minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income. Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the 15­minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.Despite some resistance, the basic principles behind the 15­minute city are influencing planning in cities around the world, including Melbourne, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Singapore, and Shanghai.

真题体验(2021·全国乙卷C)You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4．8 and 12．7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year．But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does．He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products．At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse，”a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash．Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam．Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled．Plastic straws are by no means thebiggest source (来源)of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled．Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes．Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear．In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明)a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean．For this work, titled “Truc kload of Plastic，” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped (倾倒)from a truck all at once．Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint．29．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in Paragraph 3？A．To show the difficulty of their recycling．B．To explain why they are useful．C．To voice his views on modern art．D．To find a substitute for them．【解题示范】第一步：阅读题干，把握出题意图：Why discuss，plastic straws；第二步：通过题干中的Paragraph 3迅速定位第三段，该段讲的是“全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础练习题（26）及答案阅读理解Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.57. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to seacreatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of the ice-breaking.58. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.D. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.59. We can know from the passage that many researchers think that the noise limit ofone hundred twenty decibels would _____.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.参考答案第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Ridge Indian Reservation.He is reconnecting the locals of North America with native flavors and ingredients, and working to inspire a generation of indigenous(本土的)chefs to reclaim their cooking past.Pine Ridge in South Dakota contains some of the poorest communities in the country,and it’s out of that environment that Sherman got his first job in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher at a local steakhouse.As he developed a love of cooking,which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines,Sherman realized he didn’t know indigenous recipes.“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away?How were they getting oils,salts and fats and things like that?”Sherman remembered asking himself in an interview on PBS NewsHour.“So it took me quite a few years of just researching,but it really became a passion.”These years of researching,talking to elders,and consulting written material helped him produce The Sioux Chefs Indigenous Kitchen,which in2018won Sherman the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook.After publishing the book,Sherman opened his restaurant,Owamni,in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS).It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills,and reconnect with their cooking heritage.“Part of our challenge to ourselves was to cut out ingredients that are not native so we stopped using dairy,wheat flour and cane sugar,”he said.He cooks with local ingredients.His choices of meats are the same as those hunted by his ancestors—deer,fish,and birds.“For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation(同化现象),we lost a lot of our food culture,”Sherman

he conducted showed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors aren’t always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate,and some to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors,then their errors won’t cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people’s errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist(转折)on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from20independent individuals.13.Navajas’study found that the average accuracy could increase even if________.A.the crowds were relatively smallB.there were occasional underestimatesC.individuals did not communicateD.estimates were not fully independent5.（2023年新高考II卷A篇）Yellowstone National Park offers a variety of ranger programs throughout the park,and throughout

湖北黄冈市2019高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（26）及（解析）答案阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well－equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________. A．observing her school routineB．expressing her satisfactionC．impressing her classmatesD．preserving her history解析细节理解题。

高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题2 阅读理解26（35分钟）AI think it was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, f or her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie.” As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sue’s house to play.”“Tell Theresa you’re sick,” she would advise. And generally I did. But I didn’t seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue’s house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.I started thinking of all the lies that I’d heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didn’t want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn-mower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadn’t been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to both er me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasn’t there. So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didn’t want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesn’t want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “Iagree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods weren’t right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honest—and yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.1. The autho r’s mother __________.A. thought white lies were not liesB. help ed the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author the importance of being honest2.

Finally the author and her mother agreed that __________.A. kind-heartedness is more important than honestyB. appropriate methods are the key to telling a good lieC. honesty is defined as kindness as well as truthfulnessD. absolute honesty is basic to good interpersonal relationshipsBIf you spend $ 100 or more in our stores you will receive six hours of free parking .

专题检测卷(二十七)阅读理解第二节(建议用时: 20分钟)A(2013·石家庄模拟)Four Habits to Help You SucceedWe all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed while another person fails? 11. Identify your core values.Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. 2Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.2. Pick a goal and focus on it.Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. 3 If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.3. Set a deadline for success.Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. 4By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.4. 5Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mind-set earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!A. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.B. Make the right decision.C. I’ve made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.D. Stick to your goal.E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.F. Sit and reflect on what you value most.G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.B(2013·沁阳模拟)1Today, kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.◆Create a personal scheduleRecording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will helphim to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.◆Watch the clock2I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it’s always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus, just five minutes can make a significant difference.◆FocusHe should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise-free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.◆ 3Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get, the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life’s daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.◆Stay in shapeThrough spending t ime outdoors or playing sports with friends, he can“blow off some steam” so to speak, as well as re-energize. 4◆Talk through your problemsBe able to share his concerns with you. 5If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help, not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you’ll help build an open and honest relationship as well.A. Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.B. Help your child work better to realize his aim.C. Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.D. Get enough sleepE. Help your child do better in schoolF. Encourage your child to be positive.G. Encourage him to get outside.答案解析A【文章大意】本文主要介绍了影响一个人成功的四个习惯。

杂繁市保价阳光实验学校专题检测卷(二十六)阅读理解(建议用时: 25分钟)A体裁说明文题材机器人的用词数382IMAGINE that your parents have bought you themost advanced robot. He looks like a real person.He talks to you and plays with you. He can eventhink for himself and figure out what you need.It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time. But come to think of it, can you really trust him?Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have obsessed(迷恋)over the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they become too similar to humans, people begin to feel uncomfortable.This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, has various human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, but instead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor that clearly indicates its robot status.“As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine, even if they project their feelings into it, then they feel comfortable, 〞Rolf Pfeifer, the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told the BBC.But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are “necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people〞, such as space exploration and war fighting. But when it comes to taking care of children, 60 percent of respondents said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots become more sophisticated(先进的), parents may be tempted to hand over too much responsibility to them.No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us.1. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy.B. To discuss problems related to designing robots.C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.2. Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?A. To better protect it.B. To make it look cool and modern.C. To distinguish it clearly from a human.D. To keep its price down.3. According to the second-to-last paragraph, most of the people interviewed .A. welcome robots into their homesB. believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasksC. think families w ith children shouldn’t use robots for houseworkD. are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them4. Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?A. Objective.B. Critical.C. Admiring.D. Anxious.B体裁议论文题材孩子的词数312When my son was just learning to talk, Icarried him around the house in my arms andpointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock. 〞He’d smile and point as I did and say“clock〞. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard.I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something. 〞As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. . David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, giveher a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.5. The author wrote the passage to .A. recall the happy times he spent with his sonB. tell us that children are full of curiosityC. tell us how to let children love natureD. advise us to deve lop children’s interest or talent6. The author showed David the ants to .A. prevent him from becoming boredB. develop his enthusiasm for observationC. teach him some new wordsD. arouse his interest in creatures7. Which of the following can best de scribe the author’s viewpoint?A. Make children have their own hobbies.B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible.C. Satisfy children’s interest by possible means.D. Hobbies can determine one’s future.8. The underlined word “intensity〞 in the third paragraph probably means“〞.A. hatredB. fearC. curiosityD. doubtC (2021·模拟)体裁记叙文题材生活哲理词数252At a physics conference dinner with my husbandAlex, I sat next to a man I’ll call Clayton. Claytonkept talking about himself all through the entireconversation: he had solved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other researchers’ work was inaccurate or unimportant. I could not put in a word. Extremely annoyed, I planned to avoid Clayton in the future. In fact, I decided never to have another conversation with him.A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explained how one child could become the target of the other students’ridicule(嘲笑).“Usually it’s because the class sees their o wn weaknesses glaringly magnified(放大)in that student. They don’t want to admit they have the same weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior of both the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity. 〞As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I have many of the same faults. How easily I rule a conversation and leave others out. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns or work easily seems most important. As my professor haddescribed, I reacted negatively to someone in whom I experienced my own weakness.I changed my mind. Instead of avoiding Clayton, I’ll try to listen patiently with the same kindness and acceptance that I need.9. The writer was extremely annoyed with Clayton partly because .A. he said not all his views were rightB. he wouldn’t let her put in a wordC. he kept silent all through the dinnerD. he was too particular about the food10.
