Here we’ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show,Potato EatersPotato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are panted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.IrisesVan Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum(精神病院)where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890. This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment(色素)faded over time and has now turned blue.Cafe Terrace at NightDespite being painted more than 130 years ago, this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe V an Gogh. This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh’s famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory. While the artwork doesn’t bear his signature, it’s widely known to be Van Gogh’s, as he mentioned Café Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.Wheat Field With CypressesThis piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh’s asylum window and was finished on the spot. The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital. Van Gogh was so pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there, one of the same size-which hangs in the National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.4．Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in?A．Irises.B．Potato Eaters.C．Cafe Terrace at Night D．Wheat Field With Cypresses.5．What is the original color of the flowers in Irises?A．Purple.B．Blue.C．Red.D．Yellow.6．What do the last two paintings have in common?A．They were the same in theme.B．They had more than two copies.C．They were sold by the artist.D．They were painted on the ground.（2022秋·浙江·高三天台中学校联考一模）From Antarctica to Alaska, our expedition cruises—operated through our alliance with Lindblad Expeditions—bring you to some of the most remote and unspoiled places on the planet.A Circumnavigation of IcelandAlaska Inside PassageEaster Island to TahitiPrices vary with departures.Click here to reserve or call 1-888-966-8687. 7．Which destination is suitable for a birdwatcher who is fond of diving ?

Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.Nymph of the Luo River—Gu KaizhiThe legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou FangDuring the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang ZeduanZhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang XimengNot only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old.

For example: “T asked her if I could take her car.” “I asked her whether I could take her car.” “She asked me if I spoke French.” “She asked me whether I spoke French.” “She asked if I liked it.” “She asked whether I liked it.” However, there are many other cases when it is only possible to use “whether”. Let’s see a few examples.“Whether”We use “whether” (and an infinitive with “to”) after the verbs “know” “ask” and “wonder” when there are two or more alternatives or options. For example: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or whether to go to the theatre.” It isn’t always necessary to mention the second “whether”. So, we could say the previous sentence like this: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or(whether) to go to the theatre.” You can also use “or not” instead of mentioning the other option: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or not.” We always use “whether” if there is a preposition: “We were thinking about whether we should go early or late.” And we often use “whether” when it is followed by an infinitive with “to”: “I was wondering whether to tell you or Steve.”“If”It is NOT possible to use “if” when there are two alternative options, particularly with expressions like “I’m not sure”, “I don’t know” and “wonder” plus an infinitive with “to”. For example: “I’m not sure whether to go to France or Italy.” It is NOT possible to say, “I’m not sure if...“I don’t know whether to tell Michael or Sam.” It is NOT possible to say, “I don’t know if...“I’ve been wondering whether to go by train or plane.” It is NOT possible to say, “I’ve been wondering if... 22．The text is mainly intended for students with ________ problems.A．reading B．grammar C．writing D．listening23．Which of the following is acceptable according to the text?A．I wonder if he is a fan of pop music or not.B．I’m not sure if Sarah will lecture now or later.C．I don’t know yet if I’ll make it to Henry’s party.D．I often get asked about if you can ride if you are overweight.24．How does the writer explain the usage of “whether” and “if”?A．By giving definitions.B．By giving examples.C．By making quotations.D．By analyzing cause and effect.（2022秋·浙江·高三校联考一模）If you are ready to take your water adventures, the touring kayak (皮艇) may be for you.

专题01 阅读填空（第01期）-2022届江苏高考名校英语好题速递分项汇编七选五【江苏省镇江市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects lie math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools.36．Groundbreaking work of cognitive neuroscientists reveals what we think of as"extras"are central to strengthening our minds.Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres（半球）of the brain.37．What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?38．Science backs that up.Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.39．Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex(大脑皮层),which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood,influences thought and consciousness.How about physical education? Apart from the humanities(人文学科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.40．Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra-curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.A．The same is true for a foreign language.B．There are sound reasons for the concern.C．Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.D．There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.E. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult.F. Perhaps, but they all owe current suces,in part, to the training in that aspect.G. Yet 20 percent of U.S.schools put an end to it in favor of increased classroom time.七选五【江苏省盐城市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】“We work four-day weeks because it makes our staff more motivated,” says Joe Munns, CEO and founder of Bakedin, which makes home baking kits and cake mixes.Joe has put his 40 workers on a four-day week since he started the firm in 2013, when he was working for the computer giant IBM. 36．When he was at IBM, he actually reduced his hours down to a four-day week and had Fridays free, when he could work on Bakedin, which became hissecond job and he was devoted to.37．It means that he could do what he liked and took that opportunity to start the business with a four-day week. So they have the normal working week of Monday to Thursday—then everyone gets those three days off.Because there is still some business to do on Fridays, such as dealing with customer enquiries, some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays.38．Bakedin staff put in nine-and-a-half-hours on the four days they are at work.39．“When we are together, we just find that w e’re more productive. We get more done this way, because we don’t get that tired, Friday feeling.”Many firms and countries. have started experimenting with four-day, rather than five-day weeks.40．Bakedin is in the food industry, which has a very high turn-over rate for staff. “Every year, some 30% of employees in the food industry leave their jobs,” says Joe. “But at Bakedin, our staff turnover rate is under 5%. So a four-day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.”A．He figured it was his business.B．He ran the company as a weekend passion.C．There are other benefits of putting staff on a four-day week.D．It is a big selling point when they first advertise for workers.E.They take their third day off at some other point in the week.F.They get more done this way than if they were at work five days a weekG.It reduces the risk of staff “burning out” and improves their work-life balance.七选五【江苏省徐州市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Happiness is the most sought-after emotion. It is the reason for the existence of all beings. Happiness is not confined to the human world alone. 16．A young child is happy when it is well fed and becomes sad when it is hungry. Even adults cannot resist the pleasures of food and associate this with happiness. A bar of chocolate, an ice cream treat, or a fancy spread at a buffet all bring happiness. 17．Plants that are watered and given enough nutrients will grow happily.18．Toys and gadgets, presents, and red packets bring unexpected joy. Even a pet cat or dog will show its happiness at being given a toy or plaything. A ball of wool or a plastic bone is all it takes.Then, there is the house and the car, holidays abroad, a simple picnic, or even a movie that evokes happiness. Happiness is found in obtaining material things or indulging in recreational activities. 19．Why? Well, it all boils down to the individual. Money can buy happiness to a certain extent but when all is achieved, obtained, and bought, there comes a time for the true sense of happiness.Many have sought it in ashrams and from wise men, but all it takes is an act of kindness and sharing. True happiness is eventually not in the receiving, possessing, and getting but in the giving.Giving time, things, labor to those around us, loved ones or strangers is the true happiness that lives on in our lives. 20．It doesn't have to be grand or expensive but has to be sincere and thoughtful. As Mark Twain once said, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.” So, go out there and cheer someone up!A．Clothing and accessories bring happiness.B．Making others happy is the core of being happy.C．Animals and even plants seem to display happiness.D．People are happiest when they are having a meal and some drink.E.

However, many are still not happy with all these trappings of luxury.七选五【江苏省无锡市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Note-taking is an important skill in and out of school, you can make the difference between passing and failing a test, being good at a job or even enjoying a complicated movie. 16．We're taught from a very young age that when a teacher starts delivering a load of information, we should write down as much what they're saying as possible. This is rather an inefficient way to take notes.Note-taking should actually act as a form of learning. 17．We have a three-step method for taking the kind of notes that force you to learn the materials inside the classroom and not out.Step 1 Don't write down facts, write-down conclusions.Don't worry about catching every single thing your teacher's saying. Spend more time listening, trying to understand the lecture. When you do start writing, design your notes as a series of questions raised by the teacher's lecture, filling your own answers. 18．When you do need to include data, add only the most important points under each question. This is the evidence for each question's answer.Step 219．This will help you remember your notes visually. Write questions in red, definitions in blue, conclusions in green.Step 3 Review your notes, don't relearn them.Spend at least ten minutes organizing your notes after class. Try teaching the materials to your classmate. 20．Note-taking is a valuable life skill. It doesn't lose its value when you graduate.A．Use colored pens.B．But unluckily, most people don't know how to take notes.C．Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you've missed.D．This will be a great marker to see if you've actually learned anything.E. It helps you work your way through the lesson as the teacher is giving it.F. Numerous studies over the years have proven what's already pretty obvious.G. This way, you're recording the importance of the teacher's saying and not just raw facts.七选五【江苏省苏州中学2021-2022学年高三上学期10月学业质量评估】Good volunteers bring a lot of energy to the project. The efforts of volunteers prove invaluable for worthy causes such as helping the needy at soup kitchens or digging a well to provide an undeveloped village with fresh water. But there may be some volunteer who wanders around with his head buried in his smartphone, which is not much better than having no volunteers at all16．EmpathyFirst and foremost, a volunteer should care about the people or animals-who need his help.This means the volunteer looks past cultural, religious and social differences and is only concerned that his efforts are making a positive impact on the lives of others.17．Lending a hand at homeless shelter, for example, doesn't give a volunteer the right to discuss the situations of the people who need the shelter outside of the volunteer group.PassionPassion is an important quality that a good volunteer should possess.18．It's something he looks forward to doing, something he feels a need to do. His enthusiasm is so genuine that he tells other people about the work he does and encourages other people to get on board. A volunteer with this kind of passion can be a one-person advertising agency for a worthy cause.Professionalism19．He treats volunteering with the same level of professionalism that he does his job and he respects the rules that come with it. He does what he says he's going to do and fights through obstacles to make it happen. He also doesn't lower his level of quality output because he isn't being paid for it; he puts his best effort forward because his reward is the difference he's making.Team PlayerIt's important for a volunteer to be a self-starter, but it's equally important for him to know how to work as part of a team.20．No matter what differences in personality, upbringing or outlook, everyone involved is in it for the same purpose: to help those who are unable to help themselves.

By listening to them sing, young birds memorize the notes.“17．.” Todd Roberts, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Cent er, told Newsweek. “In fact, there are amazing similarities between songbirds learning their song and the early stages of speech learning."Roberts, together with colleagues, used “optogenetic manipulation"— where light is used to monitor and control brain activity—to guide the learning of songs. 18．In this way, memories of syllables of a song were created—the length of a note agrees with the length of light exposure.As a result, they guided the learning of the zebra finch with these implanted memories. Their findings are published in the journal Science.“We learn many behaviors during development by copying the behavior of our parents, older siblings or teachers. 19．But our research in young songbirds shows that select synapses connecting sensory and motor circuits play a powerful role in laying down these types of memories and that activation of these connections in the brain can help form memories that can guide learning. We were very surprised by the outcome of our experiments," Roberts said.Roberts said it is unlikely that a similar approach could be used in humans to implant memories.20．However, he did say that understanding these pathways could help us understand conditions where developmental disorders cause speech problems.A．They are active throughout the day.B．Songbirds provide an excellent model.C．Such experiments would give rise to debate.D．The brain activities involved in this are still poorly understood.E.They controlled the interactions between two regions of the brainF.It may not be too many years before the measurements of brain activity.G.The breakthrough has given an insight into the development of vocal learning.七选五【江苏省淮安市高中校协作体2021-2022学年高三英语期中】You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 36．Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year (or even years!).Address problems when they're littleIs your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower, and taking yours? Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that bug you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.Respect your roommate's stuffThis may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his cleats for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over a line that is not crossable. 37．Be mindful of who you bring into your room-and how oftenYou may love having your study group into your room. 38．Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?Be friendly, without expecting to be best friendsDon't go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you're at school. 39．. You should be friendly with your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles.40．Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated. Deal with problems properly. No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect.A．If nothing else, follow the golden ruleB．Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission firstC．But your roommate may notD．While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your life experienceE. However, your roommate may also think soF. Address problems when they're big, tooG.

Here are some of the reasons why the Internet is now the best source of news people hive.Online news is faster and more convenient while on the go. Soon after a major story occurs, it takes a few hours for news channels to report it live on cable.16．Social media makes news more relevant. Social media platforms are not just limited to sharing pictures and posting updates about our daily routines.17．For example, when there is breaking news on the Internet, people can make comments and post their thoughts regarding the event. As a result, they get into a dialogue where different opinions are presented and debated. 18．On the other hand, if you get news from cable TV, you have very limited options to discuss.You can get news directly from its source. Many newsmakers are already active on the Internet. Since all these newsmakers have an online presence. People can get news directly fromthe concerned source, public figures, and newsmakers. 19．. Their social media presence is verified (证实的) and it is easier to trust information coming from them.20．For generation Z, cable TV is limited to sports and movie channels. They don't sit in front of the TV to watch a news bulletin. There primary source of information is the Internet. This is how they have grown up. It's unlikely they'll move away from digital anytime soon. And since this younger generation is the future, digital or Internet news is too.A．The future is digital.B．Traditional journalism still holds great value.C．That is, news doesn't have to be reported to you.D．This makes everyday news quite relevant for a while.E. The Internet is quick to judge and demand an apology.F. However, people can get news faster through social media.G. More importantly, it is a great way to understand the public’s perspective on certain issues.七选五【江苏省常州市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Either consciously or not, we spend our lives continually gathering knowledge, information, facts which help define who we are. 36．Each fact learned, each skill acquired should have a purpose. We should not, therefore, waste our time learning facts by rote(死记硬背), simply to pass exams. But the training of the mind to remember crucial pieces of information and to exercise is a vital part of our personal development.We should not underestimate(低估)how much children can learn. In memorizing lines of poetry or play scripts, children's minds are spongelike(海绵状). 37．Properly engaged, the sky is the limit.In recent years, however, the Internet has given us pause to re-visit the debate of skills versus knowledge and to look at what we need to commit to memory.No one would argue about the value of learning information by heart, but there is a lot more "knowledge" to choose from now and we have better tools by which to sort, gather and store knowledge. 38．They lead us to focus instead on improving the technical and kills required to sort, prioritize and use the knowledge that lie therein.That fact, above all others, should be reflected in our schools.For decades, schools have been notorious(臭名昭著的)for teaching the same topics or"facts." 39．I recently found my late father's History exercise book with its notes copied from 5ome authoritative tome(巨著), but without any real explanation or analysis. Ox-bow lakes were one favourite topic that my father learned about at school, that I learned about at school and then taught to my pupils in turn. Why? Why ox-bow lakes? Why nuclear physics and not nanotechnology(纳米技术)? How do we choose?That is our responsibility. 40．The important questions, however, should always be: What specific skills and prior knowledge do our children need to make sense of facts? How well equipped are they already to analyze all of this extra information? And how do we change our teaching to achieve these very different outcomes? That is the challenge facing our schools. A．Nor should we place limits on what the brain can do.B．The Internet can be our memory and we should therefore entirely rely on it.C．At school, these facts are usually delivered to us to prepare us for jobs in the future. D．Teaching facts is as important in education as it ever was.E.Change, educational change, is slow indeed, in almost every subject.F.Wikipedia and Google have changed what we need to commit to memory.G.We should, however also spend our time remembering facts.七选五【江苏省高邮市2022届高三上学期期初学情调研】Failure is probably the most exhausting experience one ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.16．Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. 17．Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.18．Its difficulties appear so great that we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can and then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents. Nothing like this had ever been done before so that my fatigue became almost unbearable. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. 19．An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind and proved correct at every step.20．Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.A．Feeling relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.B．Hard as I worked as before, l felt no fatigue.C．This feeling finally weighed me down.D．Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.E.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.F.I racked my brains day and night and wrote the essays desperately.G.I once was asked to write quite a lot of essays on some famous authors.。

ASo you’re going to the royal wedding! Let’s review a checklist of everything you’ll need to know.What to wear at the ceremonyDid you get your fascinator yet? Tha t’s a trick question because you probably don’t even know what a fascinator is. Royal dress code etiquette (礼仪) states that women must wear hats for formal events, and fascinators are the preferred accessory (配饰). These funny hats boast a large decorative design. If you haven’t packed one, no worries. Simply glue a cabbage to the side of your head. No one will be the wiser, and you can always snack on your fascinator should the wedding ceremony drag on. Gentlemen are expected to wear morning coats and top hats. Royals will likely wear their military uniforms.Meeting the royalsMen, when greeting the royals, a simple bow will do. Not so low that it looks as if you’re examining the carpet for any medals they might have dropped. This is a slight neck bow. Women perform a curtsy. Simply put one leg behind the other, bend your knees, bow your head slightly and fall over because you’ve never done this before.Chatting up the queenThe first rule of talking to the queen: Don’t talk. That is, unless spoken to. If sh e does start a conversation and you find you’ve run out of interesting stuff to discuss after “Hello”, break the ice with a joke. “Hey, why did the queen go to the dentist?” “To get her teeth crowned!”DiningEvery meal begins and ends with the queen. You can’t start eating until she starts, and you stop when she stops. The queen doesn’t appear to be a large eater, so you should wolf down your food in case she pushes the plate away after a few bites. When dining, the royals hold knives in their right hand and forks in their left with the tines facing down.1．What must women have on for the royal wedding?A．Morning coats B．Military uniformsC．Hats with fascinators D．Cabbages2．Which behavior is proper at a royal ceremony?A．Fall over when you bow to the queenB．Don’t start eating until the queen startsC．Don’t talk even if spoken toD．Push the plate away while eating3．What is the main writing characteristic of the text?A．Humorous B．Serious C．Plain D．Official【分析】这是一篇说明文。

On the other hand,for parents, the period of their children's adolescence means regularly worrying about their safety and formation as a citizen. Thus, a method of ___22___teenagers' security is needed, and curfews(宵禁)are often seen as such a measure，since they have proved their ___23___the same time, certain peculiarities exist about establishing curfews for children.The issue of teenage curfews is widely debated in the United States, where this method is still rather ___24___, and in European democracies, where this measure is yet not so widely used .The first and foremost reason for establishing curfews is children's security. ___25___curfews require teenagers under 17 years to stay out of streets starting from 11p.m.or midnight. This is believed to protect them from crimes committed after nightfall,as well as from breaking the law, and there exists serious evidence ___26___this belief.

This opinion is ___29___ supported by the fact that curfew violations(违规) and the respective charges are among the most often committed juvenile crimes in the United States. ___30___, there were reports claiming that police arrested more non-white teenagers for curfew violations.All this can cause a teenager to believe they havecrossed a psychological line dividing them as criminals; thus,such teenagers may start to see themselves as outlaws, which can ___31___ committing more serious crimes than a curfew offense.What is important for a parent to remember when establishing a curfew for their children is that a teenager's misjudged view of certain___32___may cause them to misbehave in some other way; this is proved by research conducted by the University of Minnesota, according to which teens tend to protest against what they see as ___33___.

One day, I traveled to Kancheanaburi with two friends. After visiting our last destination, due to the 41 of local transportation, we decided to take a long walk to the station to 42 the last bus at 8 p.m. back.However, when we arrived around 7:20 p.m. , we were told by the staff there that we went to the wrong place . We did not even think about 43 this could happen or where we actually were since the only 44 then was how to get to the station on time. With no taxi on the road and no bus to the station, we were 45 there. Seeing our anxiety, the staff said they could help us. The male staffer immediately stopped having his dinner and 46 the motorcycle engine. However, that motorcycle, as the only transportation they 47 at that time, could only take one passenger. It would take 48 15 minutes for a round trip.Around 7:40 p.m., I was still there. Suddenly, a young man came to 49 someone off with a motorcycle. The female staffer, who kept talking with me to alleviate（缓和）my worry, stopped him. After they spoke, he nodded, and she hurried me up to 50 the motorcycle. I did not know who he was, but I could remember that he seemed as 51 as I was, like the person who was about to miss the last bus back was him instead of me. He drove fast, which I normally would be afraid of , but I felt 52 then . With my hands on his shoulder, I believed he would 53 send me to the station safely.Everything happened so quickly. It was not until the next day 54 I knew we mistakenly went to their administrative （行政的）office at first. Although I have said “Thank you” to them several times, I still think it is not enough to express my appreciation. I know who they are now: They are the nameless people who are willing toselflessly help others, 55 love and warmth in society.41．A．absence B．number C．speed D．limitations42．A．chase B．grasp C．catch D．seize43．A．how B．why C．when D．what44．A．dilemma B．approach C．annoyance D．concern45．A．stuck B．abandoned C．blocked D．isolated46．A．started B．set C．fired D．launched47．A．paid attention to B．had faith in C．had a preference forD．had access to48．A．no more than B．less than C．more than D．more or less49．A．drop B．take C．leave D．send50．A．get off B．get on C．get in D．get into51．A．frustrated B．annoyed C．worried D．satisfied52．A．in belief B．with respect C．for sure D．at ease53．A．desperately B．directly C．definitely D．deliberately54．A．when.

During the novel coronavirus outbreak, Asians will wear masks to prevent both themselves and others from being infected, which will eventually benefit the whole group.Apart from physical protection, masks have evolved into social firewalls among young people in Asian countries as well. 18．They often want to keep a safe distance from strangers. But when they can't achieve it in public such as on a crowded subway, hiding their faces with masks can sometimes help them gain some privacy. 19．For example, they can avoid the embarrassment when they don't have enough time to do makeup.20．They wear them, along with audio headsets, to signal a lack of desire to communicate with those around them, according to Quartz.Not only are masks used to prevent the spread of disease, they have indeed made their way into the mainstream and are here to stay in Asian countries.A．What makes them do so?B．Asians are subject to Confucianism (儒教).C．In many Asian countries, people value collectivism.D．They think wearing masks is not related to their freedom.E.For this reason, wearing masks has become a fashion trend among young people.F.For some young girls, wearing masks can give them confidence and a sense of security.G.Young people are more concerned about their privacy than their parents and grandparents.阅读填空【2020届湖南省邵阳市高三上学期第一次联考】Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. 16．As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things; they don’t remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses, cellphones or other small items. These are usually signs of mild forgetfulness, not serious memory problems.17．For example, medication side effects, vitamin B12 shortage, alcoholism, tumors(肿瘤) or infections in the brain can cause memory loss. A doctor should treat serious medical conditions like these as soon as possible.Emotional problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression, can make a person more forgetful. For instance,someone who has recently retired or who is coping with the death of a relative or a friend may feel sad, lonely or worried. 18．The confusion and forgetfulness caused by emotions are usually temporary and go away when the feelings fade. The emotional problems can be eased by supportive friends and family. 19．Treatment may include counseling, medication or both.If you’re concerned that you or someone you know has a serious memory problem, talk with your doctor. 20．Health care professionals can recommend ways to manage the problem or make suggestions on treatment or services that might help you out.A．Consider participating in clinical trials or studies.B．It’s advisable to have health issues treated in time.C．He or she can diagnose the problem or refer you to a specialist.D．But if they last for a long time, it is necessary to get help from a doctor.E.Some memory problems are related to health issues that may be treatable.F.As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain.G.Trying to deal with these life changes leaves some people confused or forgetful.阅读填空【2021届广东省仲元中学、中山一中等七校联合体高三上学期第一次联考】Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. 11．Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent?12．They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions. 13．In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team’s performance. Youngchildren learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” 14．Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.15．An A-team may require a balance--not just A players, but a few generous B players as well. A．It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B．Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.C．The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.D．Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.阅读填空【2021届广西钦州市第一中学高三8月月】We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.16．When I started my Ph.D．program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t.17．You are you. You are not your sister.You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. 18．19．Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts.

ABest Science FictionThe Sprawl Trilogy by William GibsonThis classic trilogy from william Gibson consists of Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. The book that started the entire concept of Cyberpunk, the Hugo Award-, Nebula Award-and Philip K. Dick Award-winning Neuromancer remains one of the best sci-fi books ever written and the entire trilogy is worth a read, even if it’s the original that gets all the praise. Hyperion Cantos by Dan SimmonsThis series by Dan Simmons consists of Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, End ymion and The Rise of Endymion. Truly one of the great works in science fiction history, the Hugo Award-winning Hyperion Cantos is an absolutely excellent story of extreme terror, character-building and wild-world-building that is almost without equal in the type. How we haven’t gotten a proper onscreen adaptation of this series yet, I have no idea, but Perhaps it’s best left in its original, amazing book form.Ender’s Game Quartet by Orson Scott CardEnder’s Game is often read in schools, but it has incredibly mature themes like isolation, loneliness, competition and fear- many of which are more relevant now than when Orson Scott Card first began the series in 1985. If you love Ender’s Game, it’s worth reading the whole series to follow the sci-fi adventures of Andrew “Ender” Wiggin: En der’s Game, Ender in Exile, Xenocide and Children of the Mind.Snow Crash by Neal StephensonThis is the only stand-alone book on this list, as the rest are all in a series, so if you don’t feellike investing in 300, 000 pages of content, Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash is for you. This book is the heir ( 继承人 ) to Neuromancer’s Cyberpunk throne and an absolutely excellent read from Stephenson. The author uses virtual reality as his setting, and the main character is a pizza deliveryman in one world and a warrior prince in another.21.Which book won the most awards?A. Neuromancer.B. Hyperion.C. Ender’s Game.D. Snow Crash.22.What do we know about Ender’s Game QuarteA. It consists of three books.B. It is popular among students.C. It has been adapted into a film.D. It focuses on children’s problems.23.What is special about Snow Crash?A. It’s the longest story.B. It’s about the solar system.C. It’s not a series.D. It’s not a real story.BIsaac Newton is one of the greatest geniuses in history, though in his younger years, nobodywould have guessed that he would grow up to become one of the world’s most brilliant minds.He was born prematurely (早产) and quite small. He hated his step family. He went to aschool that did not teach mathematics, and then later he was removed. His mother was widowed twice. She urged him to become a farmer, and he hated that too. He was a working student in college, doing odd jobs to pay for his education. And he graduated from Cambridge without honors.He didn’t look o utstanding at all, and neither was his story. But his mind saw more complex, and fascinating stories in the concepts of mathematics and physics. His plain life did not bother him at all.Though he went through his Cambridge years with barely any honors, the inside of his study was found to have some of the most groundbreaking discoveries in physics and mathematics. He went on to discover many of his famous theories, including the generalized binomial theorem, power series, and infinite sums. He also observed the way light is refracted ( 折射 ) by lenses anddeveloped his own Newtonian telescope. Through his discovery of the Laws of Universal Gravitation and Laws of Motion, the field of physics was forever transformed.If there was anything constant about the life of Isaac Newton, it wasn’t merely that his brain was large，but that it was continuously filled with wonder. Isaac Newton’s life was brilliant, not because of his wondrous adventures, but because he saw wonder in everything- from the minute details of mathematical philosophy, to how the world works. Truly, there is nothing boring or ordinary about a mind that seeks adventure in all things.24.Which word can describe Issac Newton as a young man?A. Ordinary.B. Diligent.C. Happy.D. Intelligent.25.What can we infer about Issac Newton from the third paragraph?A. His life experience was extraordinary.B. He had a gift for math and physics.C. He was good at making up stories.D. He didn’t care about his grades at school.26.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5?A.Newton’s life was full of adventures.B.Nothing Is impossible to a willing heart.C.A brain good at discovery is never boring.D.Newton had a brain larger than any other’s.27.What can be the best title of this text?A.The Achievements of Isaac NewtonB.The Brilliant Life of Isaac NewtonC.Interest Is the Best Secret of SuccessD.Hard Work Makes up for Lack of IntelligenceCThe health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn’t. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn’t find any significant reduction in the risk for sports likerunning and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.28.How is the study conducted?A. By doing comparative experiments.B. By analyzing previous data.C. By evaluating survey information.D. By tracking participants for a long time.29.What does the underlined part “the named sports” refer to?A. Ball sports.B. Racket sports.C. Individual sports.D. Traditional sports.30.What can we inter from paragraph 5?A. Few people will play football.B. Tennis will become more popular.C. The result of this study is wrong.D. The study needs to be further improved.31.What does the author advise people to do?A. Stick to any sport that you like.B. Play badminton and tennis only.C. Stop running and playing football.D. Do any sport according to guidelines.DA new study found that some methods for measuring a species’ generation time mi ght underestimate (低估) the likelihood that some species will die out.A species generation time is how long it takes for a generation to be replaced by its mature offspring. This is different for every specie and dramatically impacts how quickly a species can respond to changes in their environment. The generation time of a mouse is only a few months, whereas the African elephant has a generation time of 22 years. The longer the generation time, the slower a species can adapt to environmental changes and may, therefore, be more likely to go extinct.In some risk assessment models, population reduction is measured on the scale of three times a species generation time. If a species is believed to mature and produce offspring in five years, then how much its population has declined will be measured over a 15-year interval. But if a species generation time is underestimated, so is the threat status of the species.We tested the influence of errors in different measures of generation time, including those used by the IUCN Red List assessments and found that these errors could potentially lead to an overly optimistic assessment of extinction risk for some species.To overcome this, we compared different types of errors in seven commonly used measures of generation time. We propose a new estimate which predicts a species’ generation time from its body mass and reproductive lifespan.Still, the lack of data is a thorny problem for making accurate calculations. We’re planning to explore how to fill some of these knowledge gaps by comparing survival and reproduction data from wild and captive populations, using data from nearly 1, 200 zoos and aquarium over 40 years, on more than 21,000 species.32.What can we know from the second paragraph?A.Elephants are less endangered than mice.B.Mice have a longer generation time than elephants.C.Mice are more adaptable than elephants.D.Elephants are more advanced than mice.33.What is the time range some assessment models use to measure the elephantpopulation.A. 15 years.B. 22 years.C. 44 years.D. 66 years.34.What is the result of underestimating the generation time of some species?A. Overestimating their survival.B. Causing them to die out quickly.C. Ignoring their danger to humans.D. Accelerating their reproduction.35.What will the researchers do next?A. Doing experiments.B. Analyzing more data.C. Counting animals in zoos.D. Popularizing animal knowledge.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Albert was mad about computer games.He could spend hours and hours in front of the screen, and even though his parents found it hard to believe,he really enjoyed every minute of it.He hardly left his seat.When people encouraged him to get involved with normal life,he would respond:"This is my doorway to the world,there is much more here than you realize."Among all his games there was one he especially liked.In it he would move a character around, collecting turtles(乌龟）on an infinity(无限）of levels and screens.He was a real expert at it.Maybe there was no one else in the world who had collected as many turtles as he had,but,nevertheless, Albert still wanted more and more and more...One day,when he got home from school,everything had changed.As usual,as soon as he arrived,he ran to his room to switch the computer on.But this time he heard some strange noises, like breaking glass.Suddenly the screen broke,and from inside came dozens,then hundreds,then thousands of little turtles.And they filled every square inch of his bedroom.Albert was astonished. He couldn't believe what was happening.But after pinching(掐）himself,he shut down and started the computer up many times,and called to his parents to see if he was dreaming about this.As it happens,he had to accept that on that day something very strange was happening.On entering,his parents put their heads in their hands.Seeing that the turtles were staying in Albert' s room,they decided to make them his responsibility.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Haagen-Dazs (哈根达斯雪糕) from Europe started in 1989 and is 5-10 times more expensive than regular ice cream. There is no real advantage. However, it adopted a unique marketing strategy, and quickly occupied the market as a top ice cream brand.Haagen-Dazs did not set up shops in ordinary supermarkets or grocery stores. Haggen-Dazs leisure fashion shops are located in busy sections of malls. The layout is carefully planned to create an elegant atmosphere, and sometimes, a flagship (旗舰) store will cost several million dollars.Compared to other ice cream brands, Haagen-Dazs consumers are tightly grouped. It is understood that Haagen-Dazs seldom does television advertising. The majority of ads have the highly visual impact of the print medium. In particular many advertisements look for those pyramid tip consumers. Moreover, as long as the consumer who spends 500 Yuan to fill in a small form can become their members, these members will be regularly sent advertisements by direct mail. Praise of customers is a powerful weapon for Haagen Dazs.There is always much creative ingenuity (独出心裁) in Haagen-Dazs advertising, so it is remembered by the public. Initial advertisements such as: ''Delicious Haagen-Dazs, like 24K gold, Kobe beef from Japan, original palm oil, mushroom truffles and Chinese ceramics…'' and ''Love her, let her eat Haagen-Dazs. '' attracted numerous Haagen-Dazs lovers who became regulars.Today, Haggen Dazs has about 700 stores in 55 countries with annual sales of more than 1 billion US dollars. Haagen-Dazs has become the world’s most popular ice cream brand. In the United States, its market share is 6.1%, 1% in France, 4.6% in Japan, 4% in Singapore, and 5% in Hong Kong.Determined to win the majority of wealthy customers, they combined positioning in the marketplace with dedicated brand goals. This is the real secret of success.【答案】Haagen-Dazs has become the most popular ice cream for its distinctive marketing strategy. (要点1)One reason is that its shops are often situated in busy malls. (要点2)Another factor lies in its print advertisements with an excellent visual effect especially targeting consumers with great purchasing power. (要点3)Besides, the creativity in the advertisements also creates an impressive image. ( 要点4)In a word, adopting a unique marketing strategy has contributed to the brand's worldwide popularity. (要点5)【解析】这是一篇概要写作。

The 30-year -old social science teacher, whoran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartenedwhen she read student papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year. Itbreaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets -- basic grammar skills are missing and there'san absence of any cohesive (连贯性的) expression. They lack guidance and reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said. When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases, she planned to do something to address the problem.Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram, Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th, 2020, wherepassers- by could spend time reading. The selections included motivational books, biographiesand novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets tosit and read, but that is okay,” she laughed.Meena's bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months,her effort became the talk of the town.Now, generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receivingrequests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state, including one in the capital, Itana-gar. Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town, she also lends books out to those whowant to read at home.“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said. “Sincechildhood, we have been told that books are our best friends. The next generation of kids isfocused on games and other things. I don't want them to head on the wrong track,” sheadded.4. What's the aim of Meena's reading program?A. To care for youngsters lacking in reading.B. To help adults learn some cohesive expression.C. To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.D. To highlight the importance of reading for adults.5. What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?A. She offered some rewards to them.B. She provided them with transportation.C. She chose novels with beautiful covers.D. She selected books covering every category.6. Which words can best describe Meena's libraries?A. Small and useless.B. Influential and meaningful.C. Large but impractical.D. Widespread but unwelcome.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Books: Sources of KnowledgeB. The Roadside Reading CornerC. The Library: a Paradise for the YoungD. New Ideas about Setting a Reading PlanCWhile we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人)somewherethousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. Thatwas where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specificphysical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment,like the turtle (海龟) and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with eachother in order to hunt，farm and defend themselves successfully from the surroundingsevereenvironment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinctsurvival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, accordingto those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.In their paper “Natural Language and Natural Selection,” researchers Steven Pinker andPaul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations, giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated aroundthem，humans needed a more complex system to convey information tooneanother. Earlyman saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner thatmeans“deer are nearby.”One day,a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunderscared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time,the same hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather- -dark skies andincreased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, heneeded to tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came upwith a series of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather.That series of soundswas the beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to conveythese survival methods to their population. To be brief, that 's the adaptation theory.8. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of language.B. The paper on natural selection.C. The differences between theories.D. The introduction to human reproduction.9. Why are the turtle and its shell mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To show the mystery of nature.B. To support the evolutionary adaptation.C. To stress the advantage of the turtle s shell.D. To encourage people to study natural selection.10. How does the author explain the adaptation theory in paragraph 3?A. By comparing.B. By listing data.C. By carrying out a survey.D. By giving an example.11. What will the author most probably tell us next?A. The exact place where humans came from.B. The other theory of how language evolved.C. The reasons why animals cannot form language.D. The methods of humans' shaping non- verbal thinking.DA cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recentlydestroyed regions across the world, and their gravity is increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang，a Chinese chemist of Renmin University, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come fromroutine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionallyspot something，but “the fire first appears on the ground,”Wang says. “When you see thefire from the sky, it is too late.”The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wirelesssignal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powersthe sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinarypaper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordinationamong the different agencies involved in firefighting is evenmore crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University ofNevada, Reno, who was not part of the study. Kent is director of ALERTWildfire, a networkthat uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires in California, Nevada and Oregon.“The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet,” he says.“You'dhave to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely allocated at the right time andplace from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭). Fire detection isjust step one.”Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device's signal range beyond the current100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. TheTransmitter’s effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be tested in the field ahead.12. What does the underlined word“gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull.B. Extinction.C. Popularity.D. Seriousness.13. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains high.B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can reduce firefighters' pain.D. It can detect fires earlier and easier.14. What does Kent mean in paragraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.B. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.C. Putting out a fire is a cooperative and orderly activity.D. The resources of fire detection are precisely allocated.15. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Limiting its use.B. Reducing its signal range.C. Improving and testing it.D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
