(2019·合肥高三第二次质量预测)Annette Larkins is an incredible woman who looks like a healthy 40?year?old, although she just turned 70. She follows a special raw diet and only drinks rainwater.
She looks so young that people mistake her for the daughter, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.
Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special diet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts grown in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. The woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked.
And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater，to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the resident of Miami?Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifestyle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband used to own a meat factory way back in the 1960s. It was then that she decided to change her eating habits forever. And what a great decision that was. I mean, just look at her!
When she started off, Mrs．Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated that she would look like a 40?year?old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years, Mrs．Larkins has been eating raw food, and she has written two booklets called Journey to Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.
Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her example, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers from diabetes(糖尿病) and high blood pressure. He takes prescription medicine every day, but Annette doesn’t even take an aspirin.

(2019·合肥高三调研)It’s not just kids who are overdoing screen time．Parents are often just as guilty of spending too much time checking smart phones and emails．And the consequences for their children can be troubling.
Dr．Jenny Radesky is a pediatrician(儿科医生) specializing in child development．When she worked at a clinic in a high?tech Seattle neighborhood, Radesky started noticing how often parents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device．Radesky was so concerned that she decided to study the behavior.
After relocating to Boston Medical Center, she and two other researchers spent one summer observing 55 different groups of parents and young children eating at fast food restaurants．“Many of the caregivers pulled out a mobile device right away，” she says．“They looked at it, scrolled on it and typed for most of the meal, only putting it down occasionally．”
This was not a scientific study. Radesky is quick to point out．It was more like anthropological (人类学的) observation, complete with detailed field notes．Forty of the 55 parents used a mobile device during the meal, and many, she says, were more absorbed in the device than in the kids.
Radesky says that’s a big mistake, because face?to?face interactions are the primary way children learn. “They learn language, they learn about their own emotions, and they learn how to regulate them，”she says. “They learn by watching us how to have a conversation, and how to read other people’s facial expressions. And if that is not happening, children are missing out on important development milestones(里程碑)．”
In the research for her book, Steiner?Adair interviewed 1，000 children between the ages of 4 and 18, asking them about their parents’ use of mobile devices. The language that came up over and over and over again, she says, was“sad, mad, angry and lonely”. Steiner?Adair says we don’t know exactly how much these mini moments of disconnection between a parent and child affect the child in the long term. But based on the stories she hears, Steiner?Adair suggests that parents think twice before picking up a mobile device when they’re with their kids.
【解题导语】 本文主要讨论了父母玩手机对孩子发展的影响。
5．What did Dr. Jenny Radesky find in a Seattle neighborhood?
A．Parents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device.
B．High technology made people’s life more convenient.
C．Children took a much keener interest in smart phones.
D．Parents were worried about their children’s development.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“When she worked at a clinic in a high?tech Seattle neighborhood, Radesky started noticing how often parents ignored their kids in favor of a mobile device．”可知， Jenny Radesky医生在社区里发现了父母玩手机而忽略孩子的现象， 故选A。
6．How did Radesky do her research?
A．By interviewing the caregivers.

7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?
A．Learning about their own feelings.
B．Reading others’ facial expressions.
C．Watching their parents’ talking.
D．Communicating face to face.

(2019·济南毕业班5月针对性练习)Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful．According to the well?known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
1．________．Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thoughts．Far from being a sign of madness, self?talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, and even regulate our emotions.
2．________．You are very likely to hear him/her talking to himself/herself：offering himself/herself directions and giving voice to his/her frustrations．Psychologists refer to this as private speech that is spoken but directed at the self．We do a lot of it when we are young.
As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others．3．________， we don’t abandon this system—we internalize(使内在化) it．Psychological experiments have shown that this so?called inner speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what other people are thinking to sorting images into categories. 4．_______. One recent study suggested that self?talk is most effective when we address ourselves as“you” rather than “I”.
We internalize the private speech we used as children—but we never entirely put away the loud version. 5．_____， turn on the sports channel．You’re bound to see an athlete or two gearing themselves up with a tart phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.

B．If you want the proof
C．Go with your friends to a debate

E．Although we may think it seems silly to talk to ourselves secretly
F．The effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions
G．Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with his/her toys
【解题导语】 我们容易把自言自语认为是疯癫的表现， 然而心理学研究表明， 自言自语不但不是疯癫的信号， 还大有裨益。
1．D 解析：根据第一段第二句和本段介绍自言自语的好处可知， 本段首句为表示转折的过渡句，故D项符合语境。
2．G 解析：空格后讲的是很容易听到小孩子自己跟自己说话，所以G项“去任何一家幼儿园看一个小孩子玩他/她的玩具”符合语境。
3．A 解析：空格前介绍的是孩提时代自言自语的情况，后面应该是这种情况在长大后的改变，故A项符合语境。
4．F 解析：上文讲的是心理学实验证实了自言自语的正面作用，故此处是继续叙述其积极影响，与本段最后一句中的研究有顺承关系。故F项符合语境。
5．B 解析：空处下文讲的是在体育频道可以看到一些运动员的表现，这些都是证据。故B项“如果你想要证据的话”符合语境。

(2019·合肥高三调研)Classical Chinese garden design aims to create a natural landscape on a small scale and emphasize the perfect harmony between man and nature.
A Chinese garden 1．____________(be) like a scroll(卷轴) painting，2．____________(show) a series of carefully composed scenes. New views are revealed as one walks along the pathways. In the gardens, 3．____________ most frequently meet the eye are winding paths that seemingly lead to nowhere. There, a path seems to end, but all of 4．____________ sudden, a new world is rolled out before you: pavilions(亭子), rock formations and spring water—all combined to provide a pleasant surprise! At the 5．____________(enter) to a Chinese garden, there is usually a huge stone or wall 6．__________(use) to screen your view so as to later produce unimaginable delight when you turn around the wall. A Chinese garden may have windows on all 7．____________(it) four walls. And it is 8．____________(interest) that, through the windows, visitors may see different views from different angles, and thus the composition of the garden becomes enlarged.
A Chinese garden is a place where culture is both created and enjoyed. All plants mark the shift of 9．__________(season).Similarly, water, a symbol of the ever?changing，10．___________ rocks, a symbol of the eternal(永恒的), create a harmonious balance of nature’s yin and yang.
【解题导语】 该文主要对中国古典园林设计进行了简要的介绍。
1．is 解析：考查主谓一致和时态。本句的主语为A Chinese garden, 谓语动词应用单数形式， 又因为整篇文章用的都是一般现在时，故用is。
2．showing 解析：考查非谓语动词。show和句子的谓语动词之间没有连词连接，且和句子的主语A Chinese garden构成逻辑上的主谓关系， 故用现在分词作状语。
3．what 解析：考查名词性从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知， 空处引导主语从句，且在主语从句中作主语， 表示物的概念， 故应填what。
4．a 解析：考查冠词。all of a sudden＝suddenly, 意为“突然”， 为固定用法，故用不定冠词a。
5．entrance/entry 解析：考查词性转换。由空前的定冠词the可知， 此处应用名词形式， 表示“入口”，故用entrance/entry。
6．used 解析：考查非谓语动词。use和句子的谓语is之间没有连词连接， 故用非谓语， 又因为和其逻辑主语a huge stone or wall之间构成动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
7．its 解析：考查代词。分析句子结构可知， 空处在此处作定语， 修饰名词walls, 故用形容词性物主代词its。
8．interesting 解析：考查形容词。此处是固定句型：it is＋形容词＋that..., it作形式主语， that引导的从句是真正的主语。故此处应用interest的形容词形式interesting。
9．seasons 解析：考查名词单复数。season是可数名词， 且其前没有限定词， 表示泛指， 故用其复数形式。
10．and 解析：考查连词。根据语境可知， 空处前后为逻辑上的并列关系， 故用连词and。
