篇51 As smartphone users know,a sleeping device can still consume the power of a battery.One solution for extending the battery life of wireless devices is to add a wake-up receiver that can tun on a shut-off device.
Angad Rekhi,a university student,and Amin Arabians,an assistant professor have developed a wake-up receiver that turns on a device in response to ultrasonic （超声波的）signals.By working at a significantly smaller wavelength and switching from radio waves to ultrasound,this receiver is much smaller than similar wake-up receivers.
this wake-up receiver has many potential applications,particularly in designing the next generation of networked devices,including the smart devices that can communicate directly with one another without human's role.
Once attached to a device,a wake-up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic pattern that tells it when to turn the device on.It only needs a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening,so it still saves energy.
The designing of these receivers presented a number of challenges. " wake-up receivers and driving down power consumption while maintaining or extending range are fundamental challenges," Angad said. "By doing so,the receivers can be small but powerful enough to fit in with the environment."
By comparison,the ultrasound wake-up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices.These two technologies-wireless power and wake-up receivers would likely serve different purposes,but both indicate a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of things.
"In light of a long-promised future where interconnected,autonomous,widespread and remarkable technologies make life easier,the networked devices available now,like video doorbells and app-enabled lights,seem like rather slight advances." the researchers explained.They believe technologies could help cross the gap between the Internet of things as we know it and the Internet of things at their best.
(1) How does the wake-up receiver work？ ______
A. By getting permission from the owner and turning on the device.
B. By picking up the radio sound and turning it into the ultrasonic signal.
C. By sensing the signal and turning on the device automatically.
D. By receiving the ultrasonic signal and reminding its owner.
(2) What is the main advantage of the wake-up receiver？ ______
A. It can receive signals quickly.
B. It's remotely controlled.
C. It's energy-efficient.
D. It can communicate by itself.
(3) What can the wake-up receiver be applied for？ ______
A. wake-up smart devices
B. ultrasonic devices
C. wirelessly powered devices
D. future networked devices
(4) The underlined word "miniaturizing" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by " ______ ".

篇52 The term "Iron Man"has many connotations（内涵），including references to a song,a comic book icon,even a movie.Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name：the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii,a picturesque（独特的）setting for a challenging race,which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim,bike,and run a marathon,all in less than 12 hours with no break.Very few individuals are up to the task.
However,Gordon Haller is a notable exception.Growing up in the 1950s,Haller developed an interest in many sports categorized as endurance（耐性）athletics and welcomed their physical demands.As he pursued a degree in physics he drove a taxi to pay the bills,but competitive training proved his passion.So when he heard about the race in 1978，the first year it was held,he immediately signed up.
The race originated in a somewhat amusing way.The members of the two popular sports clubs,the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu,had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes：runners or swimmers.However,some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong,claiming that they,in fact,deserved the title.Wanting to settle the dispute（争论）once and for all,they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance.Thus,the Waikiki Roughwater Swim of 2.4 miles,the Around-Oahu Bike race of 112 miles,and the Honolulu Marathon of 26.2 miles were all put together to form the Ironman Triathlon.
Haller was one of only fifteen competitors to show up that February morning to start the race.He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions,and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race's famous slogan："Swim 2.4 miles!Bike 112 miles!Run 26.2 miles!Brag（吹牛）for the rest of your life!" Haller took that to heart,and at the end of the day,he became the first Ironman champion in history.Haller's physical strength enabled him to do what no one else in the past had accomplished.
In the approximately thirty years since that very first race,the Ironman has become a tradition in Hawaii and now boasts approximately 1500 entrants every year.The competitors who complete the race don't have to be the first across the finish line to claim success：just finishing is a victory onto itself.
(1) The "IronMan" in the passage above refers to ______ .
A. a folk song
B. a movie character
C. a triathlon athlete
D. a sports event
(2) What do we know about Gordon Haller from the passage？ ______
A. He had a great interest in all kinds of sports.
B. He was a member of the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu.
C. He became a taxi driver after he graduated from school.
D. He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.
(3) What does the underlined word "prowess" in the first paragraph mean？ ______
A. muscles
B. skills
C. balance
D. reaction
(4) The Ironman race was born due to the fact that ______ .
A. The two clubs fought over who made better athletes.
B. Gordon Haller wanted to show his great endurance.
C. The combined race can help choose the most athletic.
D. Club members wanted to improve their physical abilities.
(5) What can we infer from the passage about the first Ironman Triathlon？ ______
A. Participants had to choose two from the three races in the first Ironman Triathlon.
B. Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event.
C. No other competitors other than Haller finished the races in the end.
D. Sixteen competitors in total participated in it on February morning.
(6) What does the last paragraph try to tell us？ ______
A. It is the participation rather than victory that counts.
B. The current Ironman Triathlon is different from the original one.
C. The victors respond excitedly when crossing the finish line.
D. The event attracts many people because it creates good fortune.
篇53 What will power your house in the future？ Nuclear wind or solar power？ According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） in the US， it might be artificial （人工的）leaves.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy, which is known as photosynthesis （光合作用）.Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.
The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts （催化剂）.Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell （电池），using those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.
Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. "One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology," said an American scientist, Nocera.
An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials,easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies,Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operate continuously for at least 45 hours.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful new,inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.
Hopefully, each home could have access to the new application in the future.
(1) The purpose of this article is to ______ .
A. introduce a new kind of device
B. ask people to do the research
C. advertise the new product
D. show the process of photosynthesis
(2) Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the new leaf？ ______
A. It's low in cost.
B. It's small in size.
C. It has a wonderful fuel cell.
D. It's convenient for people to use.
(3) What conclusion can be drawn from the text？ ______
A. Nocera thought the new leaf is expensive for developing countries.
B. Villages in Africa have benefited a lot from the new invention.
C. Silicon chip can help the new leaf work more effectively.
D. The equipment doesn't necessarily operate in pure water.
(4) What's the writer's attitude towards the new device？ ______
A. Negative.
B. Optimistic.
C. Doubtful.
D. Uncertain.
(5) According to the text, what will take place in the future？ ______

篇55 My husband is more a kid at heart than I am,so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid at heart,too,but I also can be a mathematician- and even cheap,ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of one mind on the subject- they like souvenirs and they want them.So we are digging through piles of （成堆的） cheap key fobs （钥匙链），plastic sun hats,chocolate treats that will melt in the heat,and ridiculous T-shirts,finding nothing.
We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls.Then I spot small bracelets （手链） in a rainbow of colors.
"What about these？ " I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, "Nice."
The bracelets are made of small beads （珠子） shaped like starfish and turtles.They all look like rock candy,which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids.We buy nine and make a mental note：tell the girls not to eat them.
As the clerk rings up the bracelets,I remember a souvenir I had as a girl.We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by.My sister and I chose what we liked.Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid （盖子） covered in silver glitter （小闪光物） and topped with a pink flamingo （火烈鸟）.It was cheap and tacky （俗气的） and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own.It was too beautiful to put soap inside,so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year,slowly aging,yellowing,the glitter fling off.But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls are married and have families of their own,and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.
I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value.Tiny trinkets （小饰品） say I was thinking of you even though we were apart.That's always a good investment （投资）.

篇57 Bangkok's Grand Palace is the busiest tourist stop in the city.People keep coming because the Grand Palace could arguably be called the birthplace of Bangkok
How to Get to the Grand Palace
Making your own way to the Grand Palace in Bangkok is more enjoyable and rewarding.Moving around by river taxi is inexpensive.Additionally,you'll have a good excuse to see the Chao Phraya River up close.Going by boat won't make you caught in traffic jams.It will let you see beautiful river scenery!
People staying in the Khao San Road area may choose to walk （around 20—25 minutes） to the Grand Palace.
Opening Hours
The Grand Palace is open seven days a week from 8：30 a.m.until 3：30 p.m.Occasionally,the Grand Palace does actually close for official visits and state functions.However,this is rare.Don't believe any driver who states the Grand Palace is closed.If the statement of closure is too convincing,confirm it by calling： +6626235500 ext.3100.
Entrance Fees

篇58 Richard is a very a successful businessman.It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop.He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again.
In our modern life,we have lost the rhythm between action and rest.Amazingly,within this world there is a universal but silly saying： "I am so busy."
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress.The busier we are,the more important we seem to ourselves and,we imagine,to others.To be unavailable to our friends and family,and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest,we lose our way.We miss the guide telling us where to go,the food providing is with strength,the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen？I believe it is this：we have forgotten the Sabbath,the day of the week - for followers of some religions - for rest and praying.It is a day when we are not supposed to work,a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful.It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones,give thanks,share meals,walk and sleep.It is a time for us to take a rest,to put our work aside,trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is s spiritual and biological need；however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities,we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest.The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work.In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.

A. To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life.
B. To bring up the topic of the passage.
C. To give us a brief introduction of Richard
D. To tell Richard is a successful businessman.
(2) The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to " ______ ".

B. Taking a good break.
C. Only working for two hours.
D. Enjoying delicious meal.
(5) What is the main idea of this passage？ ______

C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy."
D. We should be available to our family and friends.
篇59 Art is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effort？
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover （交迭）between culture and commerce.
Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.

B. Art：A Blessing to Humankind
C. How Art Benefits Communities
D. Art：A Bridge Between Cultures
篇60 It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter's day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other "structured" activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn't.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said, "We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities."
Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children's parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said, "We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade." The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added, "The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools."

B. The results of the exams.
C. The performance at kindergarten.
D. The time spent in classrooms.
(3) In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.
A. understand each other better
B. follow the rules
C. respect the teachers
D. give up
(4) What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How scientists carried out the research.
B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. How many sports kids did at school.
(5) What can we infer from Prof. Pagani's words in the last paragraph

"In light of a long-promised future where interconnected,autonomous,widespread and remarkable technologies make life easier,the networked devices available now,like video doorbells and app-enabled lights,seem like rather slight advances." the researchers explained.They believe technologies could help cross the gap between the Internet of things as we know it and the Internet of things at their best.
(1) How does the wake-up receiver work？ ______
A. By getting permission from the owner and turning on the device.
B. By picking up the radio sound and turning it into the ultrasonic signal.

篇52(2020·天津市·模拟题)The term "Iron Man"has many connotations（内涵），including references to a song,a comic book icon,even a movie.Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name：the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii,a picturesque（独特的）setting for a challenging race,which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim,bike,and run a marathon,all in less than 12 hours with no break.Very few individuals are up to the task.
However,Gordon Haller is a notable exception.Growing up in the 1950s,Haller developed an interest in many sports categorized as endurance（耐性）athletics and welcomed their physical demands.As he pursued a degree in physics he drove a taxi to pay the bills,but competitive training proved his passion.So when he heard about the race in 1978，the first year it was held,he immediately signed up.
The race originated in a somewhat amusing way.The members of the two popular sports clubs,the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu,had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes：runners or swimmers.However,some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong,claiming that they,in fact,deserved the title.Wanting to settle the dispute（争论）once and for all,they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance.Thus,the Waikiki Roughwater Swim of 2.4 miles,the Around-Oahu Bike race of 112 miles,and the Honolulu Marathon of 26.2 miles were all put together to form the Ironman Triathlon.
Haller was one of only fifteen competitors to show up that February morning to start the race.He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions,and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race's famous slogan："Swim 2.4 miles!Bike 112 miles!Run 26.2 miles!Brag（吹牛）for the rest of your life!" Haller took that to heart,and at the end of the day,he became the first Ironman champion in history.Haller's physical strength enabled him to do what no one else in the past had accomplished.
In the approximately thirty years since that very first race,the Ironman has become a tradition in Hawaii and now boasts approximately 1500 entrants every year.The competitors who complete the race don't have to be the first across the finish line to claim success：just finishing is a victory onto itself.
(1) The "IronMan" in the passage above refers to ______ .
A. a folk song
B. a movie character
C. a triathlon athlete
D. a sports event
(2) What do we know about Gordon Haller from the passage？ ______
A. He had a great interest in all kinds of sports.
B. He was a member of the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu.
C. He became a taxi driver after he graduated from school.
D. He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon.
(3) What does the underlined word "prowess" in the first paragraph mean？ ______
A. muscles
B. skills
C. balance
D. reaction
(4) The Ironman race was born due to the fact that ______ .
A. The two clubs fought over who made better athletes.
B. Gordon Haller wanted to show his great endurance.
C. The combined race can help choose the most athletic.
D. Club members wanted to improve their physical abilities.
(5) What can we infer from the passage about the first Ironman Triathlon？ ______
A. Participants had to choose two from the three races in the first Ironman Triathlon.
B. Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event.
C. No other competitors other than Haller finished the races in the end.
D. Sixteen competitors in total participated in it on February morning.
(6) What does the last paragraph try to tell us？ ______
A. It is the participation rather than victory that counts.
B. The current Ironman Triathlon is different from the original one.
C. The victors respond excitedly when crossing the finish line.
D. The event attracts many people because it creates good fortune.
【答案】D D B C B A
【解析】
（1）D．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容"Yet only one definition of the term truly lives up to its name：the Ironman triathlon held annually in Hawaii,a picturesque setting for a challenging race（然而，只有一种定义名副其实：每年在风景如画的夏威夷举行的铁人三项赛）"可知，本文所指的应是"铁人三项赛"，是一种运动比赛。故选D项。
（2）D．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容"at the end of the day,he became the first Ironman champion in history"可知，他成为了历史上第一个铁人三项冠军。选项D"He was the champion in the first Ironman Triathlon."与原文内容表达信息一致。故选D项。
（3）B．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句"which demands amazing physical prowess and the ability to swim,bike,and run a marathon,all in less than 12 hours with no break."可知，and为并列连词，划线单词应是与之后的ability为并列结构，同义表达，ability句中指"能力"，由此可推知"prowess"应是"技能"含义。A.muscles肌肉；B.skills技能；C.balance平衡；D.reaction反应。故选B项。
（4）C．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容"The race originated in a somewhat amusing way.The members of the two popular sports clubs,the Mid-Pacific Road Runners of Honolulu and the Waikiki Swim Club of Oahu,had a long-standing and good-natured debate going over who made better athletes：runners or swimmers.However,some local bikes thought both clubs were wrong,claiming that they,in fact,deserved the title.Wanting to settle the dispute once and for all,they decided to combine three separate races already held annually on the island into one massive test of endurance.（这场比赛以某种有趣的方式开始。火奴鲁鲁的中太平洋公路赛跑者和瓦胡岛的怀基基游泳俱乐部这两个受欢迎的体育俱乐部的成员就谁是更好的运动员进行了一场长期友好的辩论：赛跑者还是游泳者。然而，一些当地自行车俱乐部认为这两个俱乐部都错了，声称他们事实上应该获得冠军。为了一劳永逸地解决争议，他们决定将岛上每年举行的三场独立比赛合并成一场耐力的大规模测试。）"可知，设立这项比赛的初衷是综合比赛可以帮助选择最具运动能力的运动员。故选C项。
（5）B．推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容He quickly scanned the few pages of rules and instructions,and on the last page he discovered a sentence that would become the race's famous slogan： "Swim 2.4 miles!Bike 112 miles!Run 26.2 miles!Brag for the rest of your life!" Haller took that to heart,and at the end of the day,he became the first Ironman champion in history（他迅速浏览了几页规则和说明，在最后一页，他发现了一句将成为比赛著名口号的话："游2.4英里！自行车112英里！跑26.2 英里吹牛一辈子！"Haller将此铭记于心，最终，他成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军）可知，他没有仔细浏览规则，受到口号的激励而奋勇拼搏成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军。选项B"Haller may not have known the rules of it before he showed up for the event."（Haller在参加比赛前可能不知道比赛规则。）为合理推断。故选B项。
（6）A．写作目的题。根据文章末尾内容"The competitors who complete the race don't have to be the first across the finish line to claim success：just finishing is a victory onto itself."可知，完成比赛的参赛者不一定是第一个冲过终点线的人才能宣称成功，仅仅是完成比赛本身就是一种胜利，可推知，作者最后一段想要表达的是：重要的是参与，而不是胜利。故选A项。
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了铁人三项赛的创立和历史上第一位铁人三项赛冠军。

篇53(2019·天津市·模拟题)What will power your house in the future？ Nuclear wind or solar power？ According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） in the US， it might be artificial （人工的）leaves.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy, which is known as photosynthesis （光合作用）.Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.
The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts （催化剂）.Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell （电池），using those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.
Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. "One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology," said an American scientist, Nocera.
An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials,easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies,Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operate continuously for at least 45 hours.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful new,inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.
Hopefully, each home could have access to the new application in the future.
(1) The purpose of this article is to ______ .
A. introduce a new kind of device
B. ask people to do the research
C. advertise the new product
D. show the process of photosynthesis
(2) Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the new leaf？ ______
A. It's low in cost.
B. It's small in size.
C. It has a wonderful fuel cell.
D. It's convenient for people to use.
(3) What conclusion can be drawn from the text？ ______
A. Nocera thought the new leaf is expensive for developing countries.
B. Villages in Africa have benefited a lot from the new invention.
C. Silicon chip can help the new leaf work more effectively.
D. The equipment doesn't necessarily operate in pure water.
(4) What's the writer's attitude towards the new device？ ______
A. Negative.
B. Optimistic.
C. Doubtful.
D. Uncertain.
(5) According to the text, what will take place in the future？ ______
A. Natural leaves will take the place of artificial leaves.
B. Scientists will develop more ways to produce energy.
C. The new invention could be widely used in the future.
D. Developing countries will contribute more to the research.
【答案】A C D B C

篇55(2022·天津市·模拟题)My husband is more a kid at heart than I am,so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid at heart,too,but I also can be a mathematician- and even cheap,ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of one mind on the subject- they like souvenirs and they want them.So we are digging through piles of （成堆的） cheap key fobs （钥匙链），plastic sun hats,chocolate treats that will melt in the heat,and ridiculous T-shirts,finding nothing.
We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls.Then I spot small bracelets （手链） in a rainbow of colors.
"What about these？ " I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, "Nice."
The bracelets are made of small beads （珠子） shaped like starfish and turtles.They all look like rock candy,which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids.We buy nine and make a mental note：tell the girls not to eat them.
As the clerk rings up the bracelets,I remember a souvenir I had as a girl.We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by.My sister and I chose what we liked.Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid （盖子） covered in silver glitter （小闪光物） and topped with a pink flamingo （火烈鸟）.It was cheap and tacky （俗气的） and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own.It was too beautiful to put soap inside,so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year,slowly aging,yellowing,the glitter fling off.But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls are married and have families of their own,and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.
I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value.Tiny trinkets （小饰品） say I was thinking of you even though we were apart.That's always a good investment （投资）.

篇58(2022·天津市·模拟题)Richard is a very a successful businessman.It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop.He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again.
In our modern life,we have lost the rhythm between action and rest.Amazingly,within this world there is a universal but silly saying： "I am so busy."
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress.The busier we are,the more important we seem to ourselves and,we imagine,to others.To be unavailable to our friends and family,and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest,we lose our way.We miss the guide telling us where to go,the food providing is with strength,the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen？I believe it is this：we have forgotten the Sabbath,the day of the week - for followers of some religions - for rest and praying.It is a day when we are not supposed to work,a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful.It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones,give thanks,share meals,walk and sleep.It is a time for us to take a rest,to put our work aside,trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is s spiritual and biological need；however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities,we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest.The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work.In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.
(1) What's the function of the paragraph1？ ______
A. To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life.
B. To bring up the topic of the passage.
C. To give us a brief introduction of Richard
D. To tell Richard is a successful businessman.
(2) The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to " ______ ".
A. a signal of stress
B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age
D. a spread of disease
(3) According to Paragraph 3，a successful person is one who is believed to ______ .
A. be able to work without stress
B. be more talented than other people
C. be more important than anyone else
D. be busying working without time to rest
(4) According to the passage during the Sabbath ，what we should do except ______ .
A. Praying for our family.
B. Taking a good break.
C. Only working for two hours.
D. Enjoying delicious meal.
(5) What is the main idea of this passage？ ______
A. We should balance work with rest.
B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy."
D. We should be available to our family and friends.
【答案】B B D C A
【解析】
（1）B．推理判断题。由第一段"Richard is a very a successful businessman.It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop.He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again. （理查德是一位非常成功的商人。他经常不停地努力工作。直到有一天早上睡过头，他才意识到自己可能会精疲力竭或早逝，这是一种警钟。然后发生了什么？他请了一周假，其间他读小说、听音乐，并和妻子在海滩上散步，这使理查德得以再次回到工作岗位）"可知，第一段讲述了一个成功的商人理查德不间断地工作直到累到早晨没有按时醒来，才意识到自己的问题，于是离开工作去休假，结合第二段中的"In our modern life,we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. （在现代生活中，我们已经失去了行动和休息之间的节奏）"提出了本文的主题：人们只工作，不会休息，因此推断第一段的作用是引出文章的话题。故选B项。
（2）B．词句猜测题。由第一段中的"He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again. （直到有一天早上睡过头，他才意识到自己可能会精疲力竭或早逝，这是一种alarm。然后发生了什么？他请了一周假，其间他读小说、听音乐，并和妻子在海滩上散步，这使理查德得以再次回到工作岗位）"可知，理查德没有意识到自己会疲惫，或者会早逝，直到有一天睡过了头，which指代上文的内容，因此推断这次睡过头是一个危险的警告，提醒了理查德应该去休假，alarm指的是"危险的警告"。A.a signal of stress压力的信号；B.a warning of danger危险的警告；C.a sign of age年龄的标志；D.a spread of disease疾病的传播。故选B项。
（3）D．细节理解题。由第三段中的"The busier we are,the more important we seem to ourselves and,we imagine,to others.To be unavailable to our friends and family,and to be unable to find time to relax—— this has become the model of a successful life. （我们越忙，我们自己看来似乎我们就越重要，我们认为，对别人也一样。没有时间陪朋友和家人，没有时间放松--这已经成为成功生活的典范）"可知，一个成功的人被认为是一个忙于工作没时间休息的人。故选D项。
（4）C．细节理解题。由倒徵第二段中的"It is a day when we are not supposed to work,a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful.It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones,give thanks,share meals,walk and sleep.It is a time for us to take a rest,to put our work aside,trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. （这是一个我们不应该工作的日子，一个我们全神贯注于享受和庆祝美好事物的日子。这是一个祝福我们的孩子和亲人、感恩、分享食物、散步和睡觉的好时机。这是我们休息的时候，把我们的工作放在一边，相信有更大的力量在工作，照顾世界）"可知，在休息日，我们应该为家人祈祷，好好休息，享受美食，不应该工作，C项"只工作两小时"不应该做。故选C项。
（5）A．主旨大意题。由第四段"Because we do not rest,we lose our way.We miss the guide telling us where to go,the food providing is with strength,the quiet giving us wisdom. （因为我们不休息，我们就会迷失方向。我们想念导游告诉我们该去哪里，食物给我们力量，安静给我们智慧）"和最后一段中的"Rest is s spiritual and biological need （休息是精神和生理上的需要）"及"In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. （事实上，"记住安息日"不仅仅是允许你休息；它是要遵守的规则，是要遵循的原则）"以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了不要只是记住工作，也要学会休息，要平衡工作和休息。故选A项。
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在现代生活中，我们已经失去了工作与休息之间的节奏，没有意识到休息是精神上和心理上的需要，我们应该平衡生活和休息，不会休息的人就不会工作。

篇59(2021·天津市·模拟题)Art is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effort？
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover （交迭）between culture and commerce.
Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.
(1) Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .
A. most people purchase them for collection

(2) By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .
A. keep the community safe from illnesses
B. develop a stronger tie between them
C. learn to appreciate their own works of art
D. offer honourable solutions to their problems
(3) What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities？ ______
A. They enjoy better living conditions.
B. They like to compare themselves with others.
C. They are particularly good at both music and art.
D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
(4) How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them？ ______
A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.
(5) What is the best title for this passage？ ______
A. How Art Cures Our Hearts
B. Art：A Blessing to Humankind
C. How Art Benefits Communities
D. Art：A Bridge Between Cultures
【答案】C B D A B
【解析】
（1）C．细节理解题。根据第一段"Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful."（任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的，既实用又美观。）以及"Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can"（艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西都做不到的。）可以看出，可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选择C。
（2）B．细节理解题。根据第三段"Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,，and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience."（当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验，并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时，社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来。），可见通过分享经历，可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选择B。
（3）D．细节理解题。根据第四段"It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not"（研究发现，经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康；），可见参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选择D。
（4）A．细节理解题。根据第五段"Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education"（参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就）以及"encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life."（有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。）可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。
（5）B．标题归纳题。根据最后一段"Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human."（艺术对人类的生命至关重要，世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。）可见艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为"艺术：人类的福祉"。故选择B。
本文讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值，人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。

篇60(2022·天津市·模拟题) It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter's day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other "structured" activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn't.
The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said, "We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities."
Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children's parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.
Professor Pagani said, "We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade." The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added, "The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools."
(1) What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to Paragraph One
A. Those who join in structured activities.
B. Those who don't shiver on a cold winter's day.
C. Those who don't like school sports.
D. Those who take part in game lessons.
(2) What did the researcher focus on in their research
A. The classroom activities.
B. The results of the exams.
C. The performance at kindergarten.
D. The time spent in classrooms.
(3) In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.
A. understand each other better
B. follow the rules
C. respect the teachers
D. give up
(4) What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How scientists carried out the research.
B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.
C. How kids behaved at home or at school.
D. How many sports kids did at school.
(5) What can we infer from Prof. Pagani's words in the last paragraph
A. The research will be of great benefit.
B. It's necessary for children to go to kindergartens.
C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment.
D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.
【答案】D A B A A

1. 细节理解题。根据第一段But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other "structured" activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. （但是定期有组织的学校体育活动对孩子们在未来几年的学业有帮助。研究人员说，其他“结构化”的活动，如音乐或宗教活动，对注意力的帮助不如参加游戏课。）可知，那些经常参加游戏课的学生，在学术上可能做得更好。故选D项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中Professor Linda Pagani said, "We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners' activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.（琳达 帕加尼教授说：“我们利用家长和老师提供的信息，将幼儿园儿童的活动与他们成长过程中的课堂活动进行了比较。”）可知，研究者们在研究中主要是针对成长过程中的课堂活动。故选A项。
3. 细节理解题。根据第二段中There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.（体育环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是属于一个具有共同目标的团队或特殊群体的感觉——这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。）可知，在体育的环境中学生更有可能学会遵守规则。故选B项。
4. 段落主旨题。根据第三段Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six... The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.（研究人员开始研究2694名6岁左右的加拿大儿童，让老师填写关于他们在学校行为的问卷。与此同时，这些孩子的父母接受了电话或面对面的采访，了解他们的家庭生活。四年后，为了测试这种行为的影响，这个实验又重复了一次。）可知，这段主要讲了研究者们为了获得研究结果，是如何具体开展实施这项研究的。故选A项。
5. 推理判断题。根据最后一段Professor Pagani added, "The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools."（帕加尼教授补充道：“这一结果对那些希望降低儿童肥胖率和低学业成绩的学校来说应该是令人鼓舞的。”）可知，这项研究非常有益。故选A项。
