Check for any ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dangers to yourself.The chemicals that cause the victim’s injuries could also become a danger to you.Try to establish what cause the burn and how safe the chemicals are.If you are in an enclosed area,move the victim outside or open windows to prevent the build-up of fumes (臭气).You should not forget to wear gloves.
Cool the burn with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) running water for at least 15-20 minutes.Make sure that you do not come into contact with the water used to cool the burn as it may contain the harmful chemical.
If any clothing has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )come into contact with the chemical,it should be removed providing it isn’t sticking to the burn.Try to identify the chemical involved and its container.
Cover the burn wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th a sterile (消过毒的) first-aid dressing.If no dressing is available,then use other items,which include cling film (保鲜膜) and plastic bags.
If the burn is se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rious,the victim shows signs of shock or the victim becomes drowsy (昏昏欲睡的) consciousness,then call an emergency ambulance immediately.If a large chemical spill has occurred,then also ensure the firemen and policemen have also been informed.If you become exposed to the chemical involved,then you should seek medical advice immediately.

She turned up at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way,not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her,but what could we have done She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about herself. There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sat by the fire.
That’s why it was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ched the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.

In the crisis of globa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l warming,green technology becomes a critical part in our development. With the increasing use of green technology by different countries,using green technology has become a new trend over the world.
Green technology ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a diverse range of products,services,and processes that apply renewable materials and energy sources,dramatically reducing the use of natural resources,and significantly cutting wastes to minimize negative impact on the world. If green technology is said to be able to improve the environment,it does not mean that it creates no pollution or parison shall be made between the green technology and the conventional technology to see if the green technology can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and the release of harmful substances.
One of the best- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )known examples of green technology would be the solar cell. A solar cell directly converts the energy in light into electrical energy. Generating electricity from solar energy means less consumption of fossil fuels,reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Another simple invention that can be considered green is the reusable water bottle. Reducing plastic waste is great for the environment.
Green techno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )logy is not able to improve our environment or solve the problems that we are facing,like global warming in short. What green technology brings us in the short term is inconvenience,high cost,low efficiency and so on. That’s why people start to criticize the government for keeping investing in the green technology,and relying on it for solving the problems that we are facing.
Although there are s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome defects of green technology,everything done should have both positive impacts and negative impacts. Since we are still at a starting stage of developing green technology now,problems like global warming and energy crisis cannot be solved within one or two years. It really requires our determination and effort in improving the situation. Green technology will definitely be the solution that helps us solve those problems and improve our environment.
5.Compared to the conventional technology,the green technology 　　　.
A.reduces the cost of living B.causes no pollution
C.is more environmentally friendly D.is more widely used
6.According to the passage,the solar cell 　　　.
A.helps solve both energy crisis and environmental problems　
B.produces more power than other methods
C.is as popular as the reusable water bottle
D.proves that green technology is very popular

One hot summe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r day,I bought a small boat when my family spent vacation 　1　(enjoy) the beaches of beautiful Gulf shores.Both of my daughters played all day in the boat.Later the little one got 　2　 (tire).Therefore,I took her to our spot on the sand as my elder girl continued to play in the boat.But the boat with my elder daughter in it was gradually moving far out from the shore.I called to her to come 　3　(close) to the shore and she seemed to be frightened.All she could do was to 　4　(paddle) hard to one side and the boat was just making small circles.
I stood as f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar out in the water,shouting 　5　(instruct) to her.　6　(fortunate),some teenagers on a boat not far from her 　7　(notice) what was happening and started to head for her way immediately.

I’ve learned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )　9　 the experience that maybe we think we are not strong enough sometimes,but if we trust 　10　 enough and take the first attempt,we’ll have all the strength we need.
Ⅱ.阅读理解【社会文化类】
We often hear argument ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s about how American students have too much homework,or too little.But evidence suggests that as of now,homework isn’t making the grade.Although surveys show that the amount of time our children spend on homework has risen over the past three decades,American students are stuck in the middle of international academic rankings: 17th in reading,23rd in science,and 31st in math.Fortunately,research is available to help parents and teachers make homework smarter,although these particular inventions have yet to be used outside the classroom.
“Spaced repetitio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n” is one example of the kind of technique that has an active influence on students’ learning.Here’s how it works: instead of concentrating the study of information in a messy way,as a lot of homework does today,learners meet the same material in shorter sessions (一段时间)spread out over a longer period of time.Exposing ourselves to information repeatedly over time fixes it longer in our minds.
A second learning tech ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nique,known as “retrieval practice,” uses a familiar tool—the test — in a new way: not to test what students know,but to strengthen it.We often take memory as something like a storage tank,and a test as a way to measure how much information we’ve put in there.But that’s not actually how the brain works.Every time we pull up a memory,we make it stronger and more lasting—so that testing doesn’t just measure,it changes learning.Simply reading over material to be learned,or even taking notes and making outlines,as homework requires now,doesn’t have this effect.
Homework has lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g been slow to use scientific ways in learning.Maybe the heated debates about the amount of homework children do would cool if it became clear that homework was effectively improving their learning.Science has shown us how to turn homework into a possible catalyst (催化剂)for learning.Our work now is to make it happen.
1.According to Paragraph 2,spaced repetition is a way of 　　　.
A.reducing ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me spent doing homework B.holding students’ interest while studying
C.requiring students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to learn more in a short time D.focusing on learning things over and over again
2.Compared with traditional study methods,retrieval practice 　　　.
A.involves no rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ding over material to be learned B.encourages effective learning among students
C.tests whether a stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dent has a good memory D.focuses more on the input of knowledge
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph (　　)
A.Homework is the biggest problem in education.
B.The amount of homework is of great importance.
C.The new methods of learning will have a bright future.
D.We need to do more to find out how to teach the students.
4.The author’s purpose in writing the text is to 　　　.
A.persuade student ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to work harder B.show how to use homework more effectively
C.call on schools to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )change the way to test students D.ask parents to care more about children’s homework

“A photograph t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn’t even in the dictionary until August of last year.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven’t seen in a while.
But is there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) any scientific explanation for this obsession Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) at University College London.
Through our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lifetime we become expert at recognizing and interpreting other people’s faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them — we just feel them most of the time.
This has been proved in previous studies,according to the BBC.
Kilner found that most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.To further test how we actually perceive our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions of their own portrait — the original,one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive — and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.They chose the more attractive version.
But what does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it say about selfies Well,isn’t that obvious Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters(滤色镜) and so on — that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.
“You suddenl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y have control in a way that you don’t have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions,”Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News.“Selfies allow you to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you’re happy with,”he explained.
5.What is the passage mainly about (　　)
A.The definition and fun of taking selfies.
B.A study of why people love taking selfies.
C.How taking selfies influences people’s daily lives.
D.How to interpret people’s facial expressions in their selfies.
6.The underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “　　　”.
A.interpret B.beautify C.choose D.explain
7.What did Kilner discover from his researches (　　)
A.People interpret others’ facial expressions worse than their own.
B.People tend to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pend more time looking at their faces than at others’.
C.People tend to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieve they look more attractive than they actually are.
D.People who like ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king selfies know more about their facial expressions.
8.According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Kilner,people like taking selfies probably because they think 　　　.
A.it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces
B.it is a way to respond to others’ facial expressions correctly
C.it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

Baby girls make the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ir way to dolls as soon as they can crawl and boys will head for the toy cars,a study has shown. The findings,the first to show consistent differences in very young babies,suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Dr. Brenda Todd ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged between nine months and 36 months. They were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were boys’ toys:a car,a digger,a ball and a blue teddy (泰迪熊). The rest were girls’ toys:a pink teddy,a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a metre away from the toys,and could pick whichever they pleased. Their choices,and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the younge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st children (between nine months and 14 months),girls spent much longer playing with the doll than boys,and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than girls did. Among the two-and-three-year-olds,girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with the car,which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ views on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls,and the children’s choices.
Dr. Brenda Todd s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aid,“Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that move while girls get toys which may help shape their preferences. But these findings are consistent with the former idea that children show interest in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been well adapted to prefer moving objects,probably through hunting instincts (本能),while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink,the color of a newborn baby.”
1.Baby girls a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd boys have different preferences perhaps because 　　　.
A.baby boys are muc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h more active B.baby girls like bright colors better
C.parents have an eff ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ect on their views D.there may be a biological difference
2.Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following is the only toy that boys and girls both like to play with (　　)
A.A ball. B.A teddy. C.A car. D.A doll.
3.From Paragraph 3,it can be inferred that 　　　.
A.nine-month-old baby boys play with no dolls
B.two-year-old baby girls play with the car and ball sometimes
C.the older the babies are,the more obvious their preference is
D.parents should teach ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) baby boys and girls to play with each other’s toys
4.From the resu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lts of the study,Dr. Brenda Todd drew a conclusion that 　　　.
A.adults bring about babies’ preference by chance
B.babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings
C.baby boys preferring moving toys will be good at hunting
D.baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted

(2015黑龙江高三模拟试题二)【社会文化类】
The Beijing In ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ternational Marathon has acquired a new name among some disappointed participants:Smogathon.
About 30,000 runn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers,many from other parts of China or abroad,awoke in the Chinese capital on Sunday to an orange sun glowing weakly through a dirty haze(雾霾).Some ran anyway.Some ran away.But no one cancelled on the advice of the organizers,the Chinese Athletic Association and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports,because those organizations did not call it off.That has made participants call the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF),which has approved the 26-mile,or 42-kilometer race,to set air quality standards in the future to avoid damaging the runners’ health.The association could not be reached by telephone on Sunday.
“Does the IAAF hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e guidelines ” asked Chas Pope,a British engineer who took part in the marathon on Sunday.“If they don’t,they should consider it,” said Mr.Pope,who has lived in Beijing for 11 years and runs several long-distance races each year.“It’s meant to be fun and good for your health,” Mr.Pope said of the marathon.“But in such air,it’s just ridiculous to be running,”he said.He abandoned the course.“Most of my overseas friends pulled out,” he said.“And quite a few of my Chinese friends too,but a lot didn’t.I think they don’t know as much about the health impact.”
Images on Twitte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r and Chinese social media showed Chinese runners wearing a variety of face protections,from light cloth masks to World War Ⅰ-style gas masks.Still many completed the race without masks.“Today’s race should definitely have been called off or rescheduled,” said Zhang Kai,Beijing—based campaigner with Greenpeace East Asia.“What happened today to this sports event is just another reminder to the government that much remains to be done to China’s energy and industrial structure to solve pollution,” said Mr.Zhang.“If the battle against pollution is a marathon,it is now time to catch up on speed.”
In the end,the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) race was won by two Ethiopians: Girmay Birhanu Gebru won the men’s race in 2 hours,10 minutes and 42 seconds while Fatuma Sado Dergo won the women’s in 2 hours,30 minutes and 3 seconds,breaking Chinese women’s advantage of the race for the last 22 years.
The favored Chinese wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )man runner,Gong Lihua,told China News Net that the smog didn’t affect her too much but it interfered with many people’s ability to sweat,affecting their performance.
1.The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned sentences “Some ran anyway.Some ran away.” mean 　　　.
A.Some runners who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dropped out returned to run B.Some runners gave up after running a short distance
C.Not all runners continued to run D.Most runners quit the race
2.Why did participants call the IAAF (　　)
A.To tell it the Beij ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing International Marathon was also named Smogathon.
B.To appeal to it to set air quality standards in the future.
C.To tell it the 42-kilometer race should be cancelled.
D.To appeal to it to make some laws to prevent pollution.
3.Which of the following statements does Chas Pope agree to (　　)
A.A dirty haze is harmful to health. B.Running in any air is good.
C.The marathon in C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hina should be cancelled. D.Friends should learn from each other.
4.Zhang Kai thinks the battle against pollution 　　　.
A.will be the most urgent thing in China
B.should be got rid of immediately
C.is connected with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )China’s unreasonable energy and industrial structure
D.will remind all the Chinese to reduce pollution
(　B　)
【社会文化类】
“Clean your p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )late! ” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent.Often,it’s accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!”Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food.Unfortunately,many people in the US take a few too many bites.Instead of saying “clean the plate”,perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing stomachs.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.
Americans tra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls,a nu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
It’s not that working- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )class Americans don’t want to eat healthily.It’s just that after long hours at low-paying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.
5.What does the underlined sentence really mean
A.Wash dishes after meals. B.Don’t save food for the future.
C.Don’t eat too much food. D.Eat all the food on the plate.
6.Why do American restaurants serve large portions
A.Because Ameri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cans have big stomachs. B.Because Americans associate quantity with value.
C.Because Americans are greedy. D.Because Americans are good eaters.
7.What can we infer happened in the US in the 1970s
A.Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.
B.The United States produced more grain than needed.
C.Many of the Americans started to become fat.
D.The restaurant portion sizes became larger and larger.
8.Which of the following is NOT true about working-class Americans
A.They don’t want to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be healthy eaters. B.They want to save money for their children.
C.They live fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om paycheck to paycheck. D.They work long hours but get low pay.活页综合提升练(七)

In the West one of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e highlights of summer weekends is what is called garage sales. People set up tables outside and put out things that they no longer want but are still useful. Other people come along and they can buy them at a very low price. You can find everything from books to cars at garage sales.
My wife and I don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) really need anything but we like going to garage sales just to see the things other people are getting rid of. I should know better garage sales can be dangerous.
We recently went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to a sale and my wife found a new light fixture which she thought would look good in our bathroom. She got this fixture for 70 pounds. I knew as soon as she bought it that I was in trouble. When we got home,we found the base of the new fixture was of different size and shape and the old one would leave a mark on the wall when we took it off. That meant we had to paint the bathroom,so we went out to buy paint, brushes,rollers and special tape to make sure the paint lines between the walls and ceiling were perfectly straight. However,the new paint was a slightly different shade of green than the old paint and my wife decided we should have wood trim (木质边饰)instead of the paper border. We went out to buy wood trim and the nails to put it up with. It took several days to strip everything out of the bathroom,tape the walls and paint them,measure and cut the trim and fix it to the walls and put up the new light fixture. It looks very nice and so far has cost about 150 pounds. Now my wife is saying that in the newly painted bathroom in the slightly different shade of green,new towels would look nice.
I know I should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avoid going to garage sales in the future but they are interesting. Besides,my wife loves them and there are certain things you do just to keep peace in the household. We will probably keep going and probably keep finding things we never knew we needed. Buying things cheaply,however,can get very expensive.
1.We can learn from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage that the items sold at garage sales are often 　　　.
A.valuable B.different C.various D.beautiful
2.Why did the author and his wife go to garage sales (　　)
A.Because they were in great need of some groceries.
B.Because they wanted to prevent people from buying things.
C.Because they enjoyed having a look at the items on sale.
D.Because they were prepared to make their own garage sales.
3.What trouble di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d the author meet after his wife bought a light fixture (　　)
A.There was not enough room for this item on the wall.
B.He had to paint the whole bathroom.
C.He couldn’t ensure the walls and ceiling were straight.
D.He didn’t buy pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )int,brushes,rollers and special tape at garage sales.

C.would show more interest in finding new things at garage sales

Stress is what you f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.This worry can make your body feel bad.You may feel angry,frustrated or afraid—which can give you a stomachache or a headache.When you are stressed,your body responds as though you are in danger.
Plenty of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings can cause stress in a kid’s life.Some types of stress are good and others are bad.Good or normal stress might show up when you’re called on in class or when you have to give a report.Have you ever got butterflies in your stomach or sweaty hands Those can be signs of good stress.For example,you may do a better job on your book report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class.
If you’re feeling ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tired because you have too much going on,you might feel better if you drop something.Sometimes lots of activities-even if they’re all fun- can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time.
There are also r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elaxation exercises you can use.The easiest one is to inhale (吸气)slowly and deeply through your nose,and then exhale slowly through your mouth.Do this two to four times,but don’t take in too much air too quickly because it can make you feel lightheaded.
The best way to ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ep stress away is to have a balanced life.Think about which things are the most important,and do those first.That means making good decisions about how to spend your time.Eat well.If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food,and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff,you’ll probably be less stressed out!

(2015内蒙古赤峰高三最后一模)【科普知识类】
An experiment was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )carried out at British school into the performance of new pupils.At the start of the year,the pupils were each given a rating,ranging from “excellent prospect” to “unlikely to do well”.These were totally untrue ratings and did not reflect how well the pupils had previously performed.However,these ratings were given to the teachers.At the end of the year,the experimenters compared the pupils’ performance with the ratings.Despite their real abilities,there was an astonishingly high connection between performance and ratings.It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.
The Self-fulfill ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing Effect is also known as the Pygmalion(皮格马利翁) Effect.This comes from an old Greek story.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion,later turned into the musical My Fair Lady.In Shaw’s play,Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl,Eliza Doolittle into a duchess(女公爵).But,as Eliza herself points out to Higgins’ friend Pickering,it isn’t what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess,but how she’s treated.
The implication(含义) of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive.It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect,which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said,“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”
5.The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “rating” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “　　　”.
A.program B.classification C.correction D.regulation
6.The experiment was made in order to 　　　.
A.give each pupil a proper assessment B.try out a new teaching method
C.pick out the most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) excellent pupils D.learn if expectations affect performance
7.According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the Pygmalion Effect,if you want a man to finish a hard task in a short time,you should say “　　　”.
A.It is as easy as pie B.I’m sure you can make it
C.It doesn’t matter if you fail D.I will help you any time

本句是一个主从复合句。句子的主干为主谓结 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )构,主语是debates,谓语是would cool;连词if引导一个条件状语从句if it became clear that homework was effectively improving their learning;在这个条件状语从句中,还有一个连词that引导的主语从句,前面的it是条件状语从句的形式主语;主句主语部分the heated debates about the amount of homework children do中介词短语about the amount of homework children do作后置定语,修饰名词debates,其中省略了关系代词that的定语从句children do,修饰名词homework,关系代词that在定语从句中作宾语。

2.C　细节理解题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第五段“It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.”可知,答案为C项。
3.B　猜测词义题。根据AQ后面括号中的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )内容“Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble”可知,AQ指的是“面对逆境时的处理能力”,所以答案为B项。

Youth who stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y just a short walk from a fast-food outlet(商店) eat fewer fruit and vegetables,drink more soda and are more likely to be fat than students at other schools,according to a research published Tuesday.
The study,which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )involved more than 500,000 teenagers at middle schools and high schools in California,adds new evidence to a growing backlash against the fast-food industry as studies suggest they contribute to the rising overweight in the United States.
“We’ve basicall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y discovered that kids who are going to a school that is near a fast-food restaurant have a higher chance of being overweight than kids who are at a school that is not near a fast-food restaurant,” said Brennan Davis of Azusa Pacific University in California,whose study appears in the American Journal of Public Health.
For the study,Davis an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d his colleagues examined the relationship between fast-food restaurants located within one half mile of schools and overweight among middle and high school students in California.They took weight and dietary(饮食的)information from a statewide school survey between 2002 and 2005.“Overall,our patterns are consistent(一致的)with the idea that fast food near schools affects students’ eating habits,overweight,”Davis and his colleagues wrote.They also found that students whose schools were located near fast-food restaurants eat fewer servings of vegetables and fruits,and drink far more soda than students at schools not located near fast-food restaurants.
The study could no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t determine why fast-food restaurants near schools have such an influence,but Davis said a nearby fast-food restaurant is really a hangout place for people to socialize.

A.One whose ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )home is near a fast-food outlet. B.One who studies near a fast-food outlet.

Happiness can be de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )scribed as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to a recent survey,sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.
A good education an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.
The rich are not lik ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college education are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.
Poor health does not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.Learning to handle a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone.Love has a closer relationship with happiness than any other factor.
It should be noted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.
Children whose pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents were happily married have happier childhoods,but are not necessarily happier adults.
The best rule for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble),to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
1.It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　.
A.happiness is neither predictable nor apparent
B.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy
C.the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group
D.happiness is n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot necessarily connected to one’s situation in society
2.According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon 　　　.
A.a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likes
B.great wealth with which one can buy anything
C.a feeling that conditions are becoming better
D.a college degree that can help one achieve great success
3.The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean 　　　.
A.ambition to defeat others in a severe competition
B.ability to overcom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e difficulty and get out of embarrassing situation　
C.methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in life
D.attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble
4.The best title of this passage may be 　　　.

If you’re networking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(建立人际关系) and nothing is happening,you might need to evaluate how you’re doing it.Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process.You aggressively talk to people,give out your cards,call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts.To help you gain a different future,here are ten habits you should avoid.
Ineffective networkers:
1.Lack patience.The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y expect immediate results and want business now,not tomorrow.
2.Constantly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“selling” something.They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.
3.Too many choi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ces.If they offer a variety of products,they might try too hard to tell about all of them.Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referrals (指点).Opportunities are all around us but when you’re networking,only focus on one.
4.Change pos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itions too often.If they move from company to company or do something totally different,it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.
5.Lack manners and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) respect.They interrupt others,talk with food in their mouth,aren’t very polite and appear unprofessional.They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.
6.Distribute too many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cards and sales literature.They come while loading with brochure flyers (传单),catalogues and samples.
7.Focus on the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mselves.Too much self-promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated.Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.
8.“Taking” inste ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad of “giving”.They don’t realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish.Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.
9.Lack authenticity ( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )真实性)and personal values.They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises.Sometimes doing things without integrity (正直)possibly twists the truth.
10.Poor communica ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion and interpersonal skills.They have trouble speaking effectively,building relationships and following up.
Networking is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) process that is an investment of time and money.If you find you’re doing any of these habits,consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking.You’ll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.
1.According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the text,some people didn’t succeed in networking because 　　　.
A.they didn’t make efforts B.they didn’t behave effectively
C.they didn’t pay enough money D.they didn’t spend enough time
2. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) second habit,we shouldn’t 　　　 when we are networking.
A.make friends B.talk about dollars
C.shake hands with everyone D.pay attention to money only
3.When talking with others,you should 　　　.
A.give out your cards and brochures every now and then
B.talk about the quality of your product as much as possible
C.let other people express themselves completely
D.interrupt others when they make a mistake
4.Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman’s behavior
A.He offers too much self-promotion during the conversation.
B.He considers when he can get what he expects carefully.
C.He only focuses on one opportunity when networking.
D.He keeps his promises and doesn’t expect too much from others.

Although most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )games have winners and losers,the goal of sports is not to win every game.The real goals include getting exercise,having fun,and learning important social skills,like good sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is all about respect.Good sports (具有运动家品格的人) respect the other players on their team.They respect the players on opposing teams.They respect their coaches,and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games.1.　　　 They yell at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.
Kids usually le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arn sportsmanship—good and bad— from the adults in their lives.2.　　　 If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans,referees,or each other,kids will likely act the same way on the field.
3.　　　 Some of them ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are very basic and easy to do,like shaking hands with other players before a game.Other examples may take a little more courage,such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.
Learning good sport ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )smanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.4.　　　 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.
So be a good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sport in whatever you do!5.　　　 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing,you can move on to focusing on the important things,like having fun,getting exercise,and improving your skills!
A.Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.
B.On the contrary,bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.
C.The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.
D.Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.
E.We can be goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.
F.Starting a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.

Losing weight comes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper.
Yes,it turns out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that overweight may damage cognitive functions (认知功能) such as memory and attention.There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning,possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance.Losing weight,therefore,may help improve these mental functions,according to a new research led by John Gunstad,assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.
Growing evidence ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷).So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function.For their study,they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants,some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not.All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study,and again 12 weeks later.To begin with,about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested.At the end of the study,those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions.Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.
The study helped Gunst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function.Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention,he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way—eating healthier and getting more active.He expects that losing weight in this way will have a similarly positive effect on the brain.“If we can improve the condition with operations,then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.
1.There is le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ss research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers 　　　.
A.believe overweight only affects our body
B.have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mind
C.do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive ability
D.are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions
2.The result of Gunstad’s study shows that　　　.
A.losing weight has little effect on people’s memory
B.losing weight can improve people’s mental functions
C.overweight people are likely to have psychology problems
D.overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly
3. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research
A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people.
B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.
C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.
D.Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.

(2015大连高三第一次模拟)【短篇故事类】
　　Raised in a fatherl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess home,my father was extremely tight-fisted towards us children.His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met me,even in severe weather.If I grumbled,he’d say in his loudest father-voice,“That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached a stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew,each time I’d come home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.
On later visits,tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So!My son,it’s you!”he’d say,his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied,“Yes,Dad,it’s me.I’m home.”
5.What does the under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean (　　)
A.Admitted readily. B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ).Explained clearly. C.Agreed lamely. D.Spoke unhappily.
6.What made the author feel uncomfortable was 　　　.
A.the tiredness aft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er long hours in labs B.the fear of seeing something moving
C.the feeling of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )being less than valued D.the loneliness of riding the bus home
7.The author’s father watched behind the hedge because 　　　.
A.he was concerned a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout his son’s safety B.he wanted to help his son build up courage
C.he didn’t w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant to meet his son at the doorway D.he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone

If you ’ re con ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cerned about gaining weight over the upcoming holiday season,consider eating more slowly and you might consume less,a study suggests.Diet experts have been promoting this advice for years,and now nutrition scientists at the University of Rhode Island have some new data to back it up.
They had 30 norma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l-weight,college-age women come into a laboratory for lunch on two separate occasions.Each time,the women were offered a huge plate full of delicious food,plus a glass of water.They were asked to eat until the point of comfortable fullness.On one occasion,they were instructed to eat as quickly as they could; on the other occasion they ate slowly and put down their spoons between bites.
They did not kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w the food and water were weighed before and after the meal to determine the amount consumed.Findings were: When eating quickly,the women consumed 646 calories in about nine minutes.When eating more slowly,they had an average of 579 calories in about 29 minutes.
“They ate 67 calorie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s more in nine minutes than they did in 29 minutes,” says lead researcher Kathleen Melans.“ If you add that up over three meals a day,that’s a big difference in calories.”
“Upon completion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the meal and an hour afterward,the women were less satisfied and hungrier when eating quickly compared with when they ate slowly,” she says.
They said they ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) enjoyed the meal more when they were taking their time.Not surprisingly,the women drank more water when they ate more slowly,and researchers are doing a follow-up study on whether that factor contributed to their feeling fullness.
One way to he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lp control calories intake during Thanksgiving is “to slow down and savor (尽情享受) and enjoy your food more,” she says.
1.The best title of the passage could be 　　　　.
A.Taking Your Ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me Causes Fullness B.Eating Quickly Means Less Calories
C.Eating Slowly Leads to Eating Less D.Enjoying Your Food in Holiday
2.What is the dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ference between the two occasions on which these women had their lunch (　　)
A.They reached differe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt points of fullness. B.They were provided with different amount of food.
C.They ate the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ir lunch at different speeds. D.They were offered different kinds of foods.
3.The aim of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) study is to find whether speed influences 　　　 people eat.
A.how well B.how much C.what D.the way
4.According to the pas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sage,which of the following statements is TRUE (　　)
A.These women didn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know the weight of the food until they finished the meal.
B.The food and water weren’t weighed until the end of the meal.
C.The amount of food consumed had little to do with the eating speed.
D.The more quickly they ate,the more calories they consumed.

Back in the day,the lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cal library in Athens had an eight-book checkout limit.But there were exceptions.And young John Wood was one of them.In order not to prevent his hungry reading habit,the library increased his limit to 12 and John went on his merry way,gobbling up books the way most children do candy.
It’s little w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onder that today this successful social businessman likes nothing more than an airplane flight.It offers the ideal chance for a good read.
Mr.Wood gets lots of f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lying reading time these days as the founder of Room to Read,a nonprofit program that has spent the past decade building children’s libraries and promoting literacy and education in some of the world’s poorest regions.
Despite his love ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for books,there is nothing bookish about Wood.As a distance runner with a fondness for the outdoors,Wood was on a self-guided trek (长途艰苦旅行)across Nepal in 1998 when his future changed from the more usual path he had forged as a Microsoft marketing executive.
On the first day of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the 21-day trek,Wood had a chance to meet with a local education official.As they chatted at a teahouse,the official gave him an invitation to visit a local school.Off they went the next morning.
While Wood was touched ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by the lack of the school’s resources,he was positively heartbroken by what passed for its library: The ragged collection of used books was kept under lock and key,so precious to the school were its contents.
The headmaster look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed at Wood and asked loud,“Perhaps,sir,you will someday come back with books.”
Come back he di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d.First with his father,Woody,and nearly 1,000 pounds of books.And then he came back as the founder of a nonprofit program to provide books,schools,and libraries in Nepal.“The hardest thing is that there are 50 more countries that need Room to Read,” says Wood.
Room to Read,w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hich opened its 10,000th library earlier this year,raises all of its funds from private donors and foundations.
Wood’s technology bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kground has made his work particularly appealing to the philanthropists (慈善家).Earlier this year Tim Koogle,Yahoo’s founding CEO and now president of his own foundation,joined Wood on a trek in Nepal to celebrate Room to Read’s 10-year anniversary.
Wood sees education ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as the path out of poverty,but he understands that it isn’t a quick solution.“Education is such a long-term one,” he says.
“Part of the pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oblem with the aid world is that it’s so focused on the short term.No one gets out of poverty on foreign aid.It’s always education.”
1.Why was Wood allowed to borrow 12 books from the local library (　　)
A.Because he used to bring candy to the librarian.
B.Because the librarian didn’t discourage him from reading.
C.Because it was a rule for a businessman to borrow 12 books.
D.Because he liked to eat books like candy.
2.The students in the school Wood visited in Nepal 　　　.
A.had no interest in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the books in the library B.looked after their library books carefully
C.weren’t fre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to read books in the library D.had an urgent need for textbooks in class

James Clevelan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.,” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”,and he had a new name.
Owens ran his f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst race at age 13.After high school,he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student,in the Big Ten meet in 1935,he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week befor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e the Big Ten meet,Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event. He did try,and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year,and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h me,”he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him,anyway.”
Having returned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) from Berlin,he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,either. In fact,he was not honored by the United States until 1976,four years before his death.
Owens’ Olympic victor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground,and accepted money to race against cars,trucks,motorcycles and dogs.
“Sure,it bothere ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time,howe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver,his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
1.Owens got his other name “Jesse” when 　　　.
A.he went to Ohio State University B.his teacher made fun of him
C.his teacher took “J. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )C.” for “Jesse” D.he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet

A.hurt himself in the back B.succeeded in setting many records
C.tried every sports event but failed D.had to give up some events
3.When Owens says “Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey have kept me alive over the years,”he means that the medals 　　　.

(2015黑龙江高三模拟试题二)
As the population of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he planet increases,so does the number of homes,businesses,parking lots,schools,airports and roadways.All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe.The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.
Less than 10 years a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )go I drove to a thinly populated section of my town,lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨).The area was short of homes,street lights and traffic.If I did that today,I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower as well.Due to the increase in street lights,I would surely be run over by a car.
Nowadays scientists ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution.If you’ve ever taken a flight at night,the view is beautiful,but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity.The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.
One of the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )addest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted.One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky;a total waste of electricity.
Additionally,somewher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e electricity needs to be produced,and the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.
Scientists are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife.Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings,as they become puzzled by the light.It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.
Fortunately,li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.
5.It is impl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is 　　　.
A.reducing the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) output of the lights B.avoiding the use of unnecessary lighting
C.educating people ab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )out light pollution D.inventing environmentally-friendly lights
6.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution (　　)
A.Many animal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s species have died out. B.More traffic accidents happen every day.
C.The air we b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reathe may be polluted. D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.
7.What can be inferred from the text (　　)
A.We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution.
B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.
C.Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays.
D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.
8.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph (　　)
A.Helpful tips f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or surfing the Internet. B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.

The computer key ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )board helped kill shorthand—a system of rapid handwriting,and now it’s threatening to finish off handwriting as a whole.When handwritten essays were introduced on the SAT exams for the class of 2013,just 15% of the most 1.5 million students wrote their answers in cursive (草书).The rest Block letters.
And those colleg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e hopefuls are just the first edge of a wave of US students who no longer get much handwriting instructions in the primary grades,frequently 10 minutes a day or less.As a result,more and more students struggle to read and write cursive.
At Keene Mill Elem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entary School in Springfield,all their poems and stories are typed.Children in Fairfax County schools are taught keyboarding beginning in kindergarten.Older students who never mastered handwriting say it doesn’t affect their grades.
There are those who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) say the culture is at a crossing,turning from the written word to the typed one.If handwriting becomes a lost form of communication,does it matter
It was at the Uni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )versity of Virginia that researchers recently discovered a previously unknown poem by Robert,written in his unique script.Handwritten documents are more valuable to researchers,historians say,because their authenticity (真实性) can be confirmed.Students also find them more fascinating.
The loss of handwriti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng also may be a cognitive (认知的) opportunity missed.Several academic studies have found that good handwriting skills at a young age can help children express their thoughts better—a lifelong benefit.
It doesn’t take much ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to teach better handwriting skills.At some schools in Prince George’s County,elementary school students use a program called Handwriting Without Tears for 15 minutes a day.They learn the correct formation of manuscript letters through the second grade,and cursive letters in the third grade.
There are always going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to be some kids who struggle with handwriting because of their particular neurological (神经系统的)wiring,learning issues or poor motor skills.Educators often point to this factor in support of keyboarding.

Katie was in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )big trouble.She was such a sweet kid;a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies;she was never a discipline(纪律) problem.I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day,and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch.They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem,but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches,Katie What happened to your homemade lunch ”I asked.“I lost it,”she responded.I leaned back in my chair and said,“I don’t believe you,Katie.”She didn’t care.“Is someone stealing your lunch,Katie ”I took a new track.“No,I just lost it,”she said.Well,there was nothing else I could do.
The problem was sti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table.He always looked sad.I thought I would go and sit with him for a while.As I walked towards him,I noticed the lunch bag on the table.The name on the bag said “Katie”.
Now I unders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tood and I talked to Katie.It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch,and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch.He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school.Katie asked me not to tell her parents,but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed.I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie didn’t care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her.But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.

What is the talle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st mountain on Earth Most school children will say the answer is Mount Qomolangma near the border between Nepal and Tibet,China.
There is somet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hing that is three hundred and four meters taller than Mount Qomolangma.However,it is mainly underwater.It begins at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean,and rises more than seventeen kilometers from the ocean floor.
Its name is M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )auna Loa.In the Hawaiian language,Mauna Loa means “Long Mountain”.Mauna Loa is more than half of the island of Hawaii,the largest of the Hawaiian Islands.It is also the largest and more active volcano on Earth.It has erupted more than thirty times since records were first kept in eighteen forty-three.Today,it is not erupting.However volcano experts say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.
Mauna Loa is not the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) only volcano on the island of Hawaii.There are four others.One of them,named Kilauea,is still active.It has erupted more than fifty times in the last one hundred years.At this moment,red hot lava is pouring out of Kilauea.It has been doing this since nineteen eighty-three.Sometimes the lava moves slowly.At other times it pours out very fast as huge amounts of pressure force it from the volcano.During these times,it moves almost as quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain.Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat to property on many parts of the island.
Experts say the v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olcanoes of the island of Hawaii are proof that the changing environment of Earth is,and will always remain beyond human control.

When your skin gets ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )burned,it’s not only painful; it’s bad for your body.Burned skin cannot keep the bacteria out,so infections (感染)are common.Doctors often wrap burns in bandages for protection,but a recent study shows that a new kind of bandage can actually fight infection.
Toby Jenkins,a scie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntist in England,worked on the study.Jenkins and his colleagues developed a material that contains tiny capsules (胶囊).To a bacterium,these capsules look like cells just waiting to be damaged.The bacteria attack the cells by releasing poisons.But when the bacteria attack the capsules,the capsules fight back—by releasing antibiotics (抗生素)that knock out any nearby bacteria.
The material was test ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed on two types of harmful bacteria.When researchers placed pieces of the new material in a dish with the bacteria,the bacteria barely grew at all,which is unusual.This observation led the researchers to believe that the material really works.
The scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )want the bandages to work specifically against dangerous bacteria,so they also tested the material on a harmless type of E.coli bacteria.When the material was placed in a dish with E.coli,the bacteria grew quickly—showing that it didn’t fool the harmless bacteria.This early experiment shows that the material can selectively kill dangerous bacteria,but it’s too early to start using the material in hospitals.
“This is a nice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )approach and they’ve shown in principle that it works,” said Christopher Batich,a biomedical engineer in the US,who did not work on the study.While he’s excited about the results,he added that the real world is more complicated than this experiment.“You’d have to work with real bacteria and real wounds to see if it makes a difference,” he said.
Jenkins and his collea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gues are back at work improving the material.In the not-so-distant future,this kind of antibacterial bandage may move from the laboratory to the hospital bed—and give burned victims a fighting chance against infection.
1.According to the passage,the capsules’ appearance 　　　　.
A.can fool the ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rmless bacteria only B.shows what the cells look like in our body
C.can cause the harmfu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l bacteria’s aggressive behavior D.can make the harmful bacteria kill themselves
2.It can be inferred f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom the passage that E.coli bacteria probably 　　　　.
A.made no attacks on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the cell-like capsules B.fought against some harmful bacteria
C.protected burned vic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tims from infection D.released antibiotics themselves
3.According to the passage,Mr.Batich may agree that 　　　.
A.the experiment was a piece of good news for any patient
B.the new kind of bandage needs further testing in practice
C.Jenkins and his colleagues are all outstanding
D.the new kind of bandage will be used in hospitals soon
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage (　　)
A.Once your skin gets burned,your body will get infected.
B.The capsules can kill harmful bacteria with poisons.
C.E.coli bacteria are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) less harmful than the other two types of bacteria.

Q:I currently ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) entered college in New York.Since English is not my first language,I sometimes ask a friend to read my essays to help fix the grammar and language.I believe I’m being graded mainly on my ideas,and my friend helps me get my ideas across better in English.Is this OK
—Mariana
A:It’s good that you w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant to succeed in your written work at college.Making use of available resources to help you succeed is a smart strategy(策略).But while you may believe that your instructors don’t care as much about how you write as they do about your ideas,that’s not a fair assumption.
Certainly,your ide ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as are important.No matter how polished your writing is,it will not disguise a poorly expressed idea in a paper.But as a college student,being able to organize your thoughts clearly—whether you’re speaking in class or writing a paper—is critical to show that you’ve mastered the material in each course.This does not mean you shouldn’t ask others to review your written work before handing it in.That’s OK.
You should not,however ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),allow a friend or anyone else to rewrite parts of your papers for you.Instead,ask them to simply let you know about any parts of the paper that are unclear and need work.Many colleges have writing centers where tutors will work with you on your writing—without doing the work for you.
Regardless of whether ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you consult with a friend or a tutor,the right thing is for you to talk to your instructors to ask their advice and let them know you plan to seek assistance with your writing.If you ask them in advance for guidance on what’s appropriate and what’s not for the written work they assign,that will allow you to be as transparent as possible about how you complete your assignments.

On countless morn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings over the past year,I stood with my son,James,in our driveway,watching our neighbors hurry off to kindergarten. My wife and I wanted to give James the best education,but that meant we’d have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kid. I asked myself,“Would this trade-off be worth it ” When I look at the research on child development,I think it might not. Where our kids go to school might matter less than most American parents think.
Social scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have long tried to determine why some children grow up to be successful. In a 2001 study,Greg Duncan,a professor of education at the University of California,measured the influence that the people in a child’s life have on how well the child does in school. Duncan and his team found almost no relationship between how students did on the test and whom they sat beside in class,whom they hung out with after school and who lived in their block. The only meaningful link they found was between siblings (兄弟姐妹) and twins in particular.
For a long time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),scholars thought that a family’s income heavily affected how well kids did in life. But that might not be the case. When Susan Mayer at the University of Chicago looked at the relationship between family income and lifetime achievement,she ran a series of experiments to measure it,finding such outcomes weren’t caused by income. She argued that the things that make a difference are relatively inexpensive:the number of books a kid has or how often his family goes to museums.
Lareau,another schol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar began one of the most in-depth observations of American parenting. He concluded that success is much more related to the amount of time parents spend with their children. He said “Many parents I interviewed are anxious about their children’s future. But they have exaggerated (夸大) the sense of the risks involved if they don’t give their children ‘the best’ of everything.”
So at last,w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e decided to leave things as they were. More time with our kid is the best we can provide.
1.The first paragraph is intended to 　　　.
A.confirm the result ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of a research B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.stress the importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce of good education D.support a research on child development
2.From the passage we know that most American parents 　　　.
A.spend a lot of time with their children
B.like to buy a variety of books for their children
C.think children’s achievement largely depends on schools
D.believe their income cannot afford children’s education
3.Who believes chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dren’s brothers and sisters may influence their academic performance (　　)
　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Lareau. B.James. C.Susan Mayer. D.Greg Duncan.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage (　　)
A.Parents’ time matt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers to children’s future B.School education determines children’s future
C.Family income coun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts on children’s achievements D.Less education means more risks for children’s success

As wild animal lov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers are not content with watching tigers and gorillas (大猩猩) during the day,a growing number of zoos in the US are offering a more thrilling after-dark experience—overnight stays.
The Philadelph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ia Zoo is America’s first zoo and home to more than 1,300 animals.It has been running its Roars and Snores Overnight Programs for about 20 years.The most popular theme program is the Night Flight Overnight Program where children aged 5 to 12 sleep in the zoo’s tree house.The overnight stays are not only popular with young children.Most overnight stays include a night tour during which youngsters experience the mysterious sights and unusual sounds of the zoo.A midnight snack and breakfast are also served.
“It is a unique expe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rience to be at the zoo without the crowds and additional noise,”explained Patterson,director of the Denver Zoo,which has been running its Bunk with Beasts Program since many years ago.With nearly 4,000 animals and 700 species the zoo attracts more than 1.8 million visitors a year.“The things you hear and see in the zoo are completely different,”said Patterson.On the two-hour tour of the zoo,night vision scopes (范围) are provided so guests can see nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals such as owls,and indoor educational games increase the learning experience.
Patterson said pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents tend to be more worried about leaving their children than the children themselves.They have rarely had to call up a parent in the middle of the night.“They love it,”Patterson said about the children.“For many,it’s their first overnight stay away from home.They are so excited that by the end of the day they are so tired that they have no opportunity to worry.”
“Guests at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) new overnight program at the Queens Zoo make breakfast treats for animals,and watch the keepers feed them to the animals,”said Education Curator Tome Hurtubise.The growing popularity of overnight programs has caused zoos that only serve daytime visitors to think again.The Queens Zoo,which started their program this year,is so pleased with its success that they want to continue it next year.
5.What can overnight visitors in the zoo do at midnight (　　)
A.They can sleep only. B.They can watch videos.
C.They can eat something. D.They can take care of animals.
6.The visitors go to the zoo at night mainly because 　　　.
