技巧1 运用规则突破词汇观
1. (2021·新高考全国卷Ⅰ阅读A)Rme can be pricey fr travelers, which is why many chse t stay in a hstel ( 旅 社 ). The hstels in Rme ffer a bed in a drm rm fr arund $25 a night, and fr that, yu'll ften get t stay in a central lcatin (位置) with security and cmfrt.
21.What is prbably the majr cncern f travelers wh chse t stay in a hstel？
A．Cmfrt. B．Security.
C．Price. D．Lcatin.
【解析】根据题干指向，快速查阅原文，可以定位信息出处。但是pricey这个词并不在课标词汇范围内，根据构词法并和选项比对，可以判断pricey和选项中的price为同根词。根据同义转述原则，可以判断出pricey的含义为“价格高的”，因此可以推断出正确选项。
【答案】C
策略一 运用构词法——扩大词汇圈
新课标对构词法提出了明确的要求：了解词汇的词根、词缀，掌握词性变化规律，在语境中，理解具体词语的功能、词义的内涵和外延，运用构词法，扩充词汇量。所以运用词根和词缀串联记单词，能够帮助考生迅速扩大词汇圈，有效地理解有关主题的信息和观点。
英语构词法主要有三种：
派生法：一个词根加上前缀或者后缀构成另外一个词。一般来说，词根决定词义，前缀改变单词的含义，后缀改变单词的词性。
合成法：两个词或更多的词合成一个词。
转化法：一种词性转化成另外一种或几种词性，即常见的熟词生义或旧词新意。
策略二 强化词块意识——构建有效语义网
根据新课标要求，考生除了要更深入地理解和更广泛地应用已学词汇外，还要重点培养语境中的词块意识。为了提高理解效率，不能单纯依靠单词词义的英汉对应，而是要结合具体主题、在特定语境下进行综合性的理解，所以要运用有效的语义网，迁移词语运用能力，将内化的语块能力应用到阅读理解中。
1. 猜single-use词义
(2021·全国卷乙阅读C)Artist Benjamin Vn Wng wants yu t knw that it des. He builds massive sculptures ut f plastic garbage, frcing viewers t re­examine their relatinship t single­use plastic prducts.
【解析】总览全文可知，文章讲述了塑料污染问题，其中特别强调的就是“single­use”的塑料制品。根据构词法可知这是一个合成词，single为形容词，意为“单一的”，use为名词，意为“使用”，因此合成之后意为“单次使用的”。
【答案】单次使用的
2. 猜packed up词义
(2021·全国卷甲阅读C)When I was 9, we packed up ur hme in Ls Angeles and arrived at Heathrw, Lndn n a gray January mrning. Everyne in the family settled quickly int the city except me. Withut my belved beaches and endless blue­sky days, I felt at a lss and ut f place. Until I made a discvery.
【解析】本文讲述了作者在伦敦度过的童年时光。语篇中出现的语块都描述了作者搬家及搬家后不适应的情况。pack up意为“收拾行李”； settle int意为“安顿”；feel at a lss意为“不知所措”；ut f place意为“格格不入”。如果能够充分把握以上语块，那么就能更准确地把握作者的经历和情绪。
【答案】收拾行李
技巧2 一划(二括)“三会意”分析长难句
1.翻译句子
Anther institutin funded by the Natinal Science Fundatin will analyze hundreds f simulatins f aersl injectin, testing the effects n weather extremes arund the wrld.
【解析】本句主干是Anther institutin will analyze aersl injectin；
funded是过去分词作定语修饰institutin，意思是资助；
Testing是现在分词作伴随状语，
【答案】另一个由美国国家科学基金会资助的机构将分析数百个气溶胶喷射的模拟，测试其对世界各地极端天气的影响。
【语法链接】have effect/influence/impact n对...有影响
Her wrds had a magical effect n us.
她的话对我们有一种魔力般的作用。
The crisis had a negative effect n trade.
这次危机对贸易产生了很坏的影响。
一划: 划主干(trunk), 给主谓宾.()划____.
二括: 给修饰语（介短, 非谓和从句等）加( )。
三会意：抓主题，去修饰，逻辑关系要注意。
1. 翻译句子： The right level f backgrund nise may interrupt ur nrmal patterns f thinking just enugh t allw ur imaginatins t wander, withut making it impssible t fcus.
【解析】主语为The right level f backgrund nise；本句的主干为：The right level f backgrund nise may interrupt ur nrmal patterns f thinking
句中的just enugh修饰interrupt; t allw ur imaginatins t wander是不定式短语作结果状语；withut making it impssible t fcus是介词短语作结果状语
【答案】适度的背景噪音可能会打断我们正常的思维模式，其程度正好足以使我们展开想象力，但又不至于使我们无法集中注意力。
2. 翻译句子： One way t cl the earth is by injecting aersls( 气 溶 胶 ）int the upper layer f the atmsphere, where thse particles reflect sunlight away, frm the earth.
【解析】where引导的是定语从句，在从句中充当地点状语，指的是in the atmsphere。
【答案】一种冷却地球的方法是将气溶胶注入大气层的上层，在那里这些粒子将太阳光从地球反射出去。
【语法链接】Where引导定语从句
先行词是表示“地点”或任何含有“抽象地点意义”的名词用where引导定语从句。
We will discuss a number f cases where beginners f English fail t use the language preperly.
He was driving s fast as t get himself int a dangerus situatin where he is likely t lse the cntrl f his car.
But yu can’t be successful when there’s a lack f trust in a relatinship（状语从句） that results frm an actin（定语从句） where the wrngdes takes n respnsibility t fix the mistake（定语从句）.

①Califrnia has lst half its big trees since the 1930s, accrding t a study t be published Tuesday and climate change seems t be a majr factr. (tpic sentence) Para 1 factr/cause

② The number f trees larger than tw feet acrss has declined by 50 percent n mre than 46, 000 square miles f Califrnia frests, the new study finds. N area was spared r unaffected, frm the fggy nrthern cast t the Sierra Nevada Muntains t the San Gabriels abve Ls Angeles. In the Sierra high cuntry, the number f big trees has fallen by mre than 55 percent; in parts f suthern Califrnia the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Para 2 phenmenn/ situatin

③ Many factrs cntributed t the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an eclgist wh was the lead authr f the study. Wdcutters targeted big trees. Husing develpment pushed int the wds. Aggressive wildfire cntrl has left Califrnia frests crwded with small trees that cmpete with big trees fr resurces.
④But in cmparing a study f Califrnia frests dne in the 1920s and 1930s with anther ne between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his clleagues dcumented a widespread death f big trees that was evident even in wildlands prtected frm wdcutting r develpment.
⑤The lss f big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shrtage. The researchers figured ut water stress with a cmputer mdel that calculated hw much water trees were getting in cmparisn with hw much they needed, taking int accunt such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness f sil, and the timing f snwmelt(融雪).
⑥Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factrs driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees t lse mre water t the air, and earlier snwmelt, which reduces the water supply available t trees during the dry seasn.

Students in Washingtn, D. C. , will return t classrms this mnth t begin a new schl year. But at least five percent f their teachers will nt return with them. Last mnth, the District f Clumbia public schls tld tw hundred six teachers that they are nt gd enugh t stay.
The schl system dismissed seventy-five teachers last year. It was the first year f a new teacher rating system. Experts say such large numbers f dismissals are rare in American schls. But in Washingtn the rating system is nt gverned by the labr cntract (劳务合同) with teachers unin. S schl fficials have mre freedm. The system is called IMPACT. Teachers are bserved in the classrms five times a year fr at least thirty minutes each time. They are als judged by student test scres.
Emily Chen, a plicy directr, says the Natinal Cuncil supprts the IMPACT system She says, “This is an evaluatin methd that is finally able t find wh is highly effective and wh is ineffective.” Michelle Rhee created the IMPACT system. She gained natinal attentin fr her aggressive refrm effrts when she led the trubled schl system in the natin’s capital.
Sme Washingtn teachers say their rating depend t heavily n test scres. Fr sme teachers, half f their rating is based n hw well their students d.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了华盛顿学校实施新的教师评估系统——IMPACT系统，不够好的教师将被解雇，不能留下来。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Last mnth, the District f Clumbia public schls tld tw hundred six teachers that they are nt gd enugh t stay. (上个月，哥伦比亚特区的公立学校告诉206名教师，他们不够好，不能留下来)”和第二段中“But in Washingtn the rating system is nt gverned by the labr cntract (劳务合同) with teachers unin. S schl fficials have mre freedm. (但在华盛顿，评分系统并不受与教师工会签订的劳动合同的约束。所以学校官员有更多的自由)”可知，华盛顿特区的学校官员有更多的权利解雇教师。故选D项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The system is called IMPACT. Teachers are bserved in the classrms five times a year fr at least thirty minutes each time. They are als judged by student test scres. (该系统称为IMPACT。教师每年在教室里被观察五次，每次至少30分钟。他们也由学生的考试成绩来判断)”和倒数第二段中““Testing is prbably ne f the-it’s the mst bjective data that we have n teacher perfrmance. S it’s nt just lking at student test perfrmance, it is using ther surces f data.”(“测试可能是我们掌握的关于教师表现的最客观的数据之一。所以它不只是考察学生的考试成绩，还使用了其他数据来源。”)”可知，教师的评分取决于学生的考试分数和其他数据来源。故选C项。

Gd Mrning Britain weather girl Laura Tbin left her c-hsts and viewers speechless after she accidentally tre a rare Superher pster wrth abut £150,000 live n air.
T mark the start f cmic bk and sci-fi festival Lndn Super Cmic Cn, Laura was tasked with shwing rare magazines and expensive cllectin. She infrmed the audience: “We’ve gt a very special display here called The Replicatr Man. This was a character back in the 1970s. This is a special pster that is wrth abut £150,000 and there are nly ten f them in the wrld.” Laura was seen telling viewers at hme abut the histry f the cmic bk pster (连环画海报). Handling the image, Laura cntinued: “N ne’s really seen this befre.”
She attempted t pick up the picture in rder t “get a clser lk”. “I’ve gt my glves n but I’m feeling really nervus because it is said the ils can really spil them.” As she tried t remve the picture frm the display bard, it tre in half and Laura screamed: “Oh my gdness! Is this the riginal ne that’s wrth £150.000?”
The set fell silent and the presenters weren’t quite sure hw t react after the awkward mment. Fellw Gd Mrning Britain hsts Charltte Hawkins and Ranvir Singh, n her right, didn’t knw hw t react t the “mishap”.
“My heart is ging ten t the dzen. Was it the glves?” Laura cried. Cmpletely unaware f the jke, c-hst Richard Arnld threw his hand t his face and said: “We are making this up, right?” He added: “I’m a bag f nerves nw, Laura.”
Meanwhile, newsreader Ranvir Singh said: “We’ve prbably gt sme insurance that cvers this.” While panicked, Charltte Hawkins lked arund the studi and said: “Can we just glue that back dwn again? Can we g t an advertisement?”
Clearly pleased that she had managed t fl her clleagues, Laura finally revealed: “Guys—it was a jke! It’s nt really wrth £150,000. It’s wrth nthing!” She then tk much delight in tearing the rest f the picture int tiny pieces.
5. Which is the right rder f the happening accrding t the passage?
a. Laura’s clleagues were at a lss b. the pster was cmpletely ruined
c. Laura was blaming the glves d. Laura tre the pster
A. a-b-d-cB. a-d-b-cC. d-a-c-bD. d-c-a-b

【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了《早安英国》天气预报员 Laura Tbin 在一个节目直播时不小心撕毁了一张罕见的超级英雄海报，成功地捉弄了她的同事，这令这让其他主持人和观众们哑口无语。
5. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As she tried t remve the picture frm the display bard, it tre in half and Laura screamed: “Oh my gdness! Is this the riginal ne that’s wrth £150.000?”(当她试图把画从展示板上拿下来时，画被撕成了两半，劳拉尖叫道：“哦，我的天哪!这就是那幅价值15万英镑的原画吗?”)”可知d是第一个；第四段中“Fellw Gd Mrning Britain hsts Charltte Hawkins and Ranvir Singh, n her right, didn’t knw hw t react t the “mishap”. (《早安英国》的主持人Charltte Hawkins和Ranvir Singh(在她右边)不知道如何应对“意外”)”可知a是第二个；第五段中““My heart is ging ten t the dzen. Was it the glves?” Laura cried. (“我的心都快跳出来了。是因为手套吗?”劳拉哭了)”可知c是第三个；以及最后一段中“She then tk much delight in tearing the rest f the picture int tiny pieces. (然后，她非常高兴地把画的其余部分撕成小碎片)”可知b是最后一个。因此顺序为d-a-c-b。故选C项。
6. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Clearly pleased that she had managed t fl her clleagues, Laura finally revealed: “Guys—it was a jke! It’s nt really wrth £150,000. It’s wrth nthing!” (显然，Laura很高兴自己能骗过同事，她最终揭露了：“伙计们，这是个笑话!它不值15万英镑。它一文不值!”)”可知，Laura在一个节目中成功地捉弄了她的同事。故选D项。
7. 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“As she tried t remve the picture frm the display bard, it tre in half (当她试图把画从展示板上拿下来时，画被撕成了两半)”和第四段中“Fellw Gd Mrning Britain hsts Charltte Hawkins and Ranvir Singh, n her right, didn’t knw hw t react t the “mishap”. (《早安英国》的主持人Charltte Hawkins和Ranvir Singh(在她右边)不知道如何应对mishap)”Laura把画撕成了两半可知，此时她的两个同事应该是不知道如何应对这个意外，因此猜测划线词mishap意为“意外”，因此可用accident代替。故选A项。
8. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Cmpletely unaware f the jke, c-hst Richard Arnld threw his hand t his face and said: “We are making this up, right?” He added: “I’m a bag f nerves nw, Laura.”(搭档主持Richard Arnld完全没有意识到这个玩笑，他用手捂住他的脸说：“我们会修补这个的，对吧?”他补充说：“劳拉，我现在非常紧张。”)”由Richard Arnld说自己现在非常紧张，可知，面对这个意外，Richard Arnld一时间没办法面对，因此Richard Arnld试图（用手）掩饰自己的焦虑。故选B项。

Fr many f us, summertime means rad trips t the beach r muntains, r at the very least sme additinal dust and bird pp n the exterir f ur vehicles. The extra dirt leads us t d ne f tw things: wash ur car in the driveway r head t the car wash. But which chice is better fr the envirnment?
The main cncerns with either chice are the amunt f fresh water being used and the types f chemicals used t remve the dirt. Bth f these cncerns can be clsely mnitred when washing the car at hme, says Katy Gresh, spkeswman fr the Suthwest Regin f the Pennsylvania Department f Envirnmental Prtectin. She advises car wners t put aside a set amunt f water fr the entire wash. “It’s just like brushing yur teeth, ”she says. “Yu dn’t want t leave the water running r use mre than yu need fr the jb.” But even fllwing this advice cmes with an envirnmental risk: Washing yur car in the driveway r street flushes the dirty water int strm drains.
Jhn Schmbert is executive directr f 3 Rivers Wet Weather. His rganizatin wrks t educate the public abut strm sewers(下水道)and water runff, keeping this untreated water frm entering the Allegheny regin’s waterways. “We ask peple t cnsider washing their cars n lawns r ther permeable(透水的)surfaces where the water gets absrbed, ” Schmbert says. “Sil can break dwn and help filter(过滤)thse things,” Schmbert says. “Strm sewers are nt made fr waste dispsal.” Even when car wners use natural saps t wash their cars, which Schmbert says are prbably ineffective at breaking dwn grease anyway.
The cmmercial car wash dwn the street knws full well the rules regarding waste water in strm sewers. Accrding t the Internatinal Carwash Assciatin(ICA), prfessinal car washes must use water reclamatin systems. These mandated prcesses nt nly keep the dirty water ut f strm sewers and regular water treatment systems, but they als wrk t reduce water usage at cmmercial facilities.
9. What des the underlined wrd prbably mean in the first paragraph?
A. tpB. bttm
C. insideD. utside
10. What wrries peple when they have their cars washed?
A. The dirt cannt be remved easily.
B. Large quantities f water are wasted.
C. The washing ways d n gd t their cars.
D. D The used chemicals are harmless t the envirnment.
11. What’s the disadvantage f washing cars at hme?
A. It is nt easy t deal with.
B. It cannt clean the dirt cmpletely.
C. It cnsumes a larger amunt f water.
D. It des much damage t the envirnment.
12. What can be the best title f the text?
A. D Yu Put Car washing at Risk?
B. Which Is Better: Car Wash r DIY?
C. Why Dishwashers Are Better than Hand Washing?
D. D Americans Use Less Water than They Did Years Ag?
【答案】9. D 10. B 11. D 12. B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哪一种洗车方法对环境更有益处：在家还是去洗车公司。
9. 词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“Fr many f us, summertime means rad trips t the beach r muntains, r at the very least sme additinal dust and bird pp n the exterir f ur vehicles.”可知，对于我们中的许多人来说，夏天意味着去海滩或山上的公路旅行，或者至少意味着在我们车的exterir有一些灰尘和鸟粪。结合句意和常识可知，灰尘和鸟粪通常在车的外部，即划线词意为 “外部，外面”，与utside同义。故选D。
10. 细节理解题。根据第二段中““It’s just like brushing yur teeth,” she says, “Yu dn’t want t leave the water running f mre than yu need fr the jb.”（ “这就像刷牙一样，”她说，“你不想让水流得比所需的更多。”）”可知，人们在外边洗车时担心会浪费掉更多的水。故选B。
11. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But even fllwing this advice cmes with an envirnmental risk: Washing yur car in the driveway r street flushes the dirty water int strm drains.（但即使遵循这一建议，也会带来环境风险：在车道或街道上洗车会将脏水冲进雨水沟）”可知，在家自己洗车的缺点是对环境有害处。故选D。
12. 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“The extra dirt leads us t d ne f tw things: wash ur car in the driveway r head t the car wash. But which chice is better fr the envirnment?（这些额外的脏东西会让我们做以下两件事之一：在私人车道上洗车，还是去洗车处洗车。但是哪种选择对环境更好呢？） ”结合下文对两种方法优缺点的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了在专业洗车店里洗车和自己动手洗车，到底哪个对环境更有益处，故B选项“洗车处和自己动手洗车哪个更好?”符合文章标题。故选B。

We are nt wh we think we are.
The American self-image is spread with the glden glw f pprtunity. We think f the United States as a land f unlimited pssibility, nt s much a classless sciety but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brains, energy and ambitin are what cunt, nt the circumstances f ne’s birth.
The Ecnmic Mbility Prject, an ambitius research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, lked at the ecnmic frtunes f a large grup f families ver time, cmparing the incme f parents in the late 1960s with the incme f their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: The “rags t riches” stry is much mre cmmn in Hllywd than n Main Street. Only 6 percent f children brn t parents with family incme at the very bttm mve t the tp.
That is right, just 6 percent f children brn t parents wh ranked in the bttm f the study sample, in terms f incme, were able t btstrap their way int the tp. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent f children brn int that lwest are still stuck at the bttm, having been unable t climb a single rung f the incme ladder.
It is nted that even in Britain—a natin we think f as burdened with a hidebund (守旧的) class system—children wh are brn pr have a better chance f mving up. When the studies were released, mst reprters fcused n the finding that African-Americans brn t middle-class r upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflatin-adjusted dllars, than did their parents.
One f the studies indicates, in fact, that mst f the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed t the entry f white wmen int the labr frce. This is much less true fr African-Americans.
The picture that emerges frm all the crrelatins and percentages is f a natin in which, ver all, “the current generatin f adults is better ff than the previus ne”, as ne f the studies ntes.
The median incme f the families in the sample grup was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their children’s median family incme was measured at $71,900. Hwever, this rising ride has nt lifted all bats equally. The rich have seen far greater incme gains than the pr.
Even mre trubling is that ur natin f America as the land f pprtunity gets little supper: frm the data. Americans mve fairly easily up and dwn the middle rungs f the ladder, but there is “stickiness at the end”—fur ut f ten children wh are brn pr will remain pr, and fur ut f ten wh are brn rich will stay rich.
13. What did the Ecnmic Mbility Prject find in its research?
A. Children frm lw-incme families are unable t btstrap their way t the tp.
B. Hllywd actrs and actresses are upwardly mbile frm rags t riches.
C. The rags t riches stry is mre fictin than reality.
D. The rags t riches stry is nly true fr a small minrity f whites.
14. It can be inferred frm the writer that America, as a classless sciety, shuld ________.
A. perfect its self-image as a land f pprtunity
B. have a higher level f upward mbility than Britain
C. enable African-Americans t have exclusive access t well-paid emplyment
D. encurage the current generatin t wrk as hard as the previus generatin
15. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. The US is a land where brains, energy and ambitin are what cunt.
B. Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains.
C. Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflatin cnsidered.
D. Children in lwest-incme families manage t climb a single rung f the ladder.
16. What might be the best title fr this passage?
A. Scial Upward Mbility in AmericaB. Incredible Incme Gains in America
C. America: Land f Unequal WealthD. America: Nt Land f Opprtunity fr all
【答案】13. C 14. A 15. B 16. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了The Ecnmic Mbility Prject的研究发现，美国并不是一个到处充满机会的地方，白人和黑人之间还是存在不平等的，由穷到富的故事与其说是现实不如说是幻想。
13. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Here is the finding: The “rags t riches” stry is much mre cmmn in Hllywd than n Main Street. Only 6 percent f children brn t parents with family incme at the very bttm mve t the tp.（研究发现:“白手起家”的故事在好莱坞比在普通民众中更为常见。在家庭收入最低的家庭中，只有6%的孩子能升到社会顶层。）”可知，白手起家的故事与其说是现实，不如说是虚构的。故选C。
14. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The American self-image is spread with the glden glw f pprtunity. We think f the United States as a land f unlimited pssibility, nt s much a classless sciety but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brains, energy and ambitin are what cunt, nt the circumstances f ne’s birth.（美国人的自我形象洋溢着机会的金光。我们认为美国是一块充满无限可能的土地，与其说它是一个没有阶级的社会，不如说它是一个阶级是可变的地方——在这里，智力、精力和雄心是最重要的，而不是一个人的出身。）”可推知，美国，作为一个无阶级社会，应该完善自己的自我形象，成为一个充满机遇的国家。故选A。
15. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“When the studies were released, mst reprters fcused n the finding that African-Americans brn t middle-class r upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflatin-adjusted dllars, than did their parents.（当这些研究公布时，大多数记者关注的是出生于中产阶级或中上层家庭的非裔美国人的收入(经通胀因素调整后)略低于他们的父母。）”和文章第六段“One f the studies indicates, in fact, that mst f the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed t the entry f white wmen int the labr frce. This is much less true fr African-Americans.（事实上，其中一项研究表明，白人家庭在过去三十年里取得的经济收益大部分可以归因于白人女性进入劳动力市场。这对非裔美国人来说就不那么真实了。）”可知，在经济收入方面，白人和黑人之间的不平等依然存在。故选B。
16. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Even mre trubling is that ur natin f America as the land f pprtunity gets little supper: frm the data. Americans mve fairly easily up and dwn the middle rungs f the ladder, but there is “stickiness at the end”—fur ut f ten children wh are brn pr will remain pr, and fur ut f ten wh are brn rich will stay rich.（更令人不安的是，从数据来看，我们这个充满机遇的国家却得不到什么晚餐。美国人很容易就能爬上爬下梯子的中间梯级，但是有一个“最后的粘性”——10个出身贫困的孩子中有4个会继续贫穷，10个出身富裕的孩子中有4个会继续富有。）”可知，美国并不是所有人都有机会的土地。故选D。

One after anther telecmmunicatins giants have annunced their latest fifth generatin (5G) prducts. They have als claimed that 5G technlgy wuld be used n a massive scale by 2020. Yet, when reprting abut 5G, many dmestic media have described it as a"much faster" technlgy than 4G withut mentining any f its ther advantages. As a result. the cmmn public view abut 5G is that they culd "dwnlad a HD mvie within ne secnd". Beynd that, mst peple knw nthing abut 5G.
Actually, 5G technlgy has many mre advantages than 4G apart frm speed. Accrding t the criteria f 3GPP, an internatinal standardizatin rganizatin, 5G technlgy can be used fr at least three purpses—cnnecting everything, reliability f cnnectins, and eliminating delays.
“Cnnecting everything” is an apprpriate slgan fr 5G technlgy, withut which the Internet f Things wuld be impssible. 5G wuld enable ne server t cnnect t multiple terminals, and thus establish high-speed crdinatin amng them, and help the chips inside the terminals timely react t meet peple’s needs. Take autnmus vehicles fr example, they are mature technlgy prducts. Self-driving cars cmbine a variety f sensrs, such as radar, cmputer visin, and GPS t identify navigatin paths and bstacles. 5G technlgy will link all the elements f a transprtatin system, such as traffic lights, cameras and, f curse, cars t establish perfect crdinatin s they can avid bstacles and mve n navigatin paths, which will help strengthen self-driving technlgy.
Reliability f cnnectins is anther essential characteristic f 5G technlgy, whse use can be extended t ther fields where high safety standards are required. Fr instance, in certain surgeries, surgens insert nan-rbts inside a patient’s bdy and have t maintain cnstant cntrl ver the rbts t ensure they perfrm their functins and d nt cause any harm t the patient. This is a technlgy that can be f great help, as it can establish reliable and cntinuus cnnectins between the mnitr and the nan-rbts.
17. Which f the fllwing can serve as an example f "cnnecting everything"?
A. Imprvement f smart phne signals.B. Decrease in telecmmunicatin cst.
C. High speed in playing cmputer games.D. Online tests fr all members at the same time.
18. Why can 5G be used in the fields with high safety standards?
A. It can attract mst eyeballs n a massive scale.
B. It can prvide dependable and cnstant service.
C. It ffers massive machine types f cmmunicatin.
D. It emplys 4G base statins and ccupies less space.
19. What will the authr mst prbably discuss in the fllwing paragraph?
A. Eliminating delays.B. 5G netwrk capacity
C. Disadvantages f 5GD. Building 5G base statins
20. What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. 5G Technlgy: Mre than abut High Speed
B. 5G Technlgy Will Shape the Future f Cnnectivity
C. Telecm Giants Wrk Tgether t Better 5G Technlgy
D. Advantages and Disadvantages f 5G Technlgy and Prducts

It lked just like anther aircraft frm the utside. The pilt tld his yung passengers that it was built in 1964, a Being KC-135 refuelling tanker, based n the 707. But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students frm Eurpe and USA wh barded the aircraft were in fr the flight f their lives.
Fr 12 mnths, science students frm acrss the cntinents had cmpeted t win a place n the flight at the invitatin f the Eurpean Space Agency. The challenge had been t suggest imaginative experiments t be cnducted in weightless cnditins.
Fr the next tw hurs the Beings flight resembled that f an enrmus bird which had lst its reasn, shting upwards twards the heavens befre mving dwn twards Earth. The intentin was t achieve weightlessness fr a few secnds.
The aircraft tk ff smthly enugh, but any feelings that I and the yung scientists had that we were n anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilt put the plane int a 45-degree climb which lasted arund 20 secnds. Then the engines cut ut and we became weightless. Everything became cnfused, and left r right, up r dwn n lnger had any meaning. After ten secnds f free-fall descent (下降) the pilt pulled aircraft ut f its nsedive. The return f gravity was less immediate than its lss, but it was still sudden enugh t ensure that sme students came dwn with a bump.
Each time the pilt cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team cnducted its experiment. First it was the Dutch, wh wanted t discver why cats always land n their feet. Then it was the German team, wh cnducted a successful experiment n a traditinal building methd t see if it culd be used fr building a future space statin. The Americans had an idea t create slar sails that culd be used by satellites.
After tw hurs f ging up and dwn in the plane ding experiments, the dminant feeling was ne f excitement rather than sickness. Mst f the students thught it was an unfrgettable experience and ne that wuld be keen t repeat.
21. What did the pilt d with the plane?
A. He climbed and then made the plane fall slwly.
B. He climbed and then made the plane turn ver.
C. He quickly climbed and then stpped the engines.
D. He tk ff nrmally and then cut the engines fr 20 secnds.
22. What was the pint f being weightless?
A. T shw the judges f the cmpetitin what they culd d.
B. T prepare the yung scientists fr future wrk in space.
C. T see what cnditins are like in space.
D. T allw the teams t try ut their ideas.
23. The prnun “it” (in the last paragraph) refers t ________.
A. the excitementB. the trip
C. the pprtunityD. the plane
24. The passage is intended t ________.
A. reprt n a new scientific technique
B. encurage yung peple t take science
C. shw scientists what yung peple can d
D. describe the utcme f a scientific cmpetitin
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 24. D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述富有想象力的实验是在失重的条件下进行的，旨在讲述一个科学竞赛的结果，让学生们产生新的想法。
21. 细节理解题。根据第四段“The aircraft tk ff smthly enugh, but any feelings that I and the yung scientists had that we were n anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilt put the plane int a 45-degree climb which lasted arund 20 secnds. Then the engines cut ut and we became weightless.（飞机起飞得很平稳，但当飞行员让飞机进入持续约20秒的45度爬升时，我和这些年轻科学家们的任何感觉都很快消失了。然后引擎熄火，我们失重了。）”可知，飞行员快速上升然后停止发动机，故选C。
22. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fr 12 mnths, science students frm acrss the cntinents had cmpeted t win a place n the flight at the invitatin f the Eurpean Space Agency. The challenge had been t suggest imaginative experiments t be cnducted in weightless cnditins. （12个月来，来自各大洲的理科学生应欧洲航天局(Eurpean Space Agency)的邀请，为赢得这次飞行的机会而竞争。挑战是建议在失重条件下进行富有想象力的实验。）”富有想象力的实验是在失重的条件下进行的，故失重的目的是为了让学生们产生新的想法，故选D。
23. 词义猜测题。根据最后一段的第一句“After tw hurs f ging up and dwn in the plane ding experiments, the dminant feeling was ne f excitement rather than sickness. （在飞机上做了两个小时的实验后，主要的感觉是兴奋而不是恶心。）”由此可推断下文意思为大多数学生都认为这是一次难忘的经历，是一个渴望重复的经历。所以it指代这两个小时的飞机旅程，故选B。
24. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Fr 12 mnths, science students frm acrss the cntinents had cmpeted t win a place n the flight at the invitatin f the Eurpean Space Agency.（12个月来，来自各大洲的理科学生应欧洲航天局(Eurpean Space Agency)的邀请，为赢得这次飞行的机会而竞争。）和最后一段“Mst f the students thught it was an unfrgettable experience and ne that wuld be keen t repeat. （大多数学生都认为这是一次难忘的经历，是一个渴望重复的经历。）”所以本文的目的就是要描述一个科学竞赛的结果，故选D。

2022年新高考I卷之B篇
Like mst f us, I try t be mindful f fd that ges t waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was t make a nice green salad, runding ut a rast chicken dinner. But I ended up wrking late. Then friends called with a dinner invitatin. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even wrse, I had unthinkingly bught way t much; I culd have made six salads with what I threw ut.
In a wrld where nearly 800 millin peple a year g hungry, “fd waste ges against the mral grain,” as Elizabeth Ryte writes in this mnth’s cver stry. It’s jaw-drpping hw much perfectly gd fd is thrwn away — frm “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grcers t large amunts f uneaten dishes thrwn int restaurant garbage cans.
Prducing fd that n ne eats wastes the water, fuel, and ther resurces used t grw it. That makes fd waste an envirnmental prblem. In fact, Ryte writes, “if fd waste were a cuntry, it wuld be the third largest prducer f greenhuse gases in the wrld.”
If that’s hard t understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back f my refrigeratr. Mike Curtin sees my arugula stry all the time — but fr him, it's mre like 12 bnes f dnated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO f DC Central Kitchen in Washingtn, D.C., which recvers fd and turns it int healthy meals. Last year it recvered mre than 807,500 punds f fd by taking dnatins and cllecting blemished (有瑕疵的) prduce that therwise wuld have rtted in fields. And the strawberries? Vlunteers will wash, cut, and freeze r dry them fr use in meals dwn the rad.
Such methds seem bvius, yet s ften we just dn’t think. “Everyne can play a part in reducing waste, whether by nt purchasing mre fd than necessary in yur weekly shpping r by asking restaurants t nt include the side dish yu wn’t eat,” Curtin says.
24. What des the authr want t shw by telling the arugula stry?
A. We pay little attentin t fd waste.B. We waste fd unintentinally at times.
C. We waste mre vegetables than meat.D. We have gd reasns fr wasting fd.
25. What is a cnsequence f fd waste accrding t the test?
A. Mral decline.B. Envirnmental harm.
C. Energy shrtage.D. Wrldwide starvatin.
26. What des Curtin’s cmpany d?
A. It prduces kitchen equipment.B. It turns rtten arugula int clean fuel.
C. It helps lcal farmers grw fruits.D. It makes meals ut f unwanted fd.
27. What des Curtin suggest peple d?
A. Buy nly what is needed.B. Reduce fd cnsumptin.
C. G shpping nce a week.D. Eat in restaurants less ften.

2022年新高考II卷之C篇
Over the last seven years, mst states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range f methds t persuade peple t put dwn their phnes when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the prblem, by just abut any measure, appears t be getting wrse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using scial netwrks and taking phts. Rad accidents, which had fallen fr years, are nw rising sharply.
That is partly because peple are driving mre, but Mark Rsekind, the chief f the Natinal Highway Traffic Safety Administratin, said distracted（分心）driving was "nly increasing, unfrtunately. "
"Big change requires big ideas. " he said in a speech last mnth, referring bradly t the need t imprve rad safety. S t try t change a distinctly mdern behavir, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back t an ld apprach: They want t treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea frm lawmakers in New Yrk is t give plice fficers a new device called the Textalyzer. It wuld wrk like this: An fficer arriving at the scene f a crash culd ask fr the phnes f the drivers and use the Textalyzer t check in the perating system fr recent activity. The technlgy culd determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed r dne anything else that is nt allwed under New Yrk's hands-free driving laws.
"We need smething n the bks that can change peple's behavir,” said Félix W. Ortiz, wh pushed fr the state's 2001 ban n hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becmes law, he said, "peple are ging t be mre afraid t put their hands n the cell phne. "
8. Which f the fllwing best describes the ban n drivers' texting in the US?
A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary.
C. Incnsistent. D. Unfair.
9. What can the Textalyzer help a plice fficer find ut?
A. Where a driver came frm. B. Whether a driver used their phne.
C. Hw fast a driver was ging. D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
10. What des the underlined wrd "smething" in the last paragraph refer t?
A. Advice. B. Data. C. Tests. D. Laws.
11. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. T Drive r Nt t Drive? Think Befre Yu Start
B. Texting and Driving? Watch Out fr the Textalyzer
C. New Yrk Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers.
D. The Next Generatin Cell Phne: The Textalyzer-
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文一篇说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机造成“分神”，引发交通事故的问题，纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer（短信监控器）的技术来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over the last seven years, mst states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range f methds t persuade peple t put dwn their phnes when they are behind the wheel. ”（在过去的七年里，大多数州都禁止司机发短信，公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。）以及第二段中“Yet the prblem, by just abut any measure, appears t be getting wrse. ”（然而，无论以何种标准衡量，这个问题似乎都在恶化。）可知，大多数州使用了各种各样的方法说服司机们在开车的时候放下手机，可是情况却越来越糟糕。所以各种方法是无效的。A选项ineffective意为“无效的”，与此相符。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The technlgy culd determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed r dne anything else that is nt allwed under New Yrk's hands-free driving laws. ”（这项技术可以确定司机是否发了短信、发了邮件，或者做了纽约免提驾驶法不允许的其他事情。）可知，Textalyzer能够确定的是司机是否使用了手机发短信、邮件以及其他驾驶法不允许的行为。B 选项意为“是否司机使用了手机。”与此相符，故选B。
10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据句中的“We need smething n the bks that can change peple's behavir. ”（我们需要一些能改变人们行为的东西，）可知，smething是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becmes law, he said, "peple are ging t be mre afraid t put their hands n the cell phne. ”（他说，如果Textalyzer法案成为法律，“人们会更害怕拿起手机。）可知，人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。收到法律的约束和惩罚，司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故smething指代的是法律。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段和第二段阐述的是“虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。可是问题却越来越严重”。第三段中“That is partly because peple are driving mre. ”（部分原因是开车的人越来越多）可知，解释了该行为产生的部分原因。第四段至第五段讲述的是为了解决该问题是纽约立法者提出了一个新的想法即利用Textalyzer技术，来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。最后一段讲述的是：相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案由此才能真正的改变人们的行为。故B选项Texting and Driving? Watch Out fr the Textalyzer（发短信还是在开车？防范短信监控器。）适合文章的标题。故选B。

As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in prcessing xygen as it used t be. In mst peple the first signs shw up in their 50s r early 60s. And amng peple wh dn’t exercise, the changes can start even sner.
“Think f a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer fr 20 years and it will becme dry and easily brken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University f Texas. That’s what happens t the heart. Frtunately fr thse in midlife, Levine is finding that even if yu haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape nw may help imprve yur aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected vlunteers aged between 45 and 64 wh did nt exercise much but were therwise healthy. Participants were randmly divided int tw grups. The first grup participated in a prgram f nnaerbic (无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week. The secnd grup did high-intensity aerbic exercise under the guidance f a trainer fr fur r mre days a week. After tw years, the secnd grup saw remarkable imprvements in heart health.
“We tk these 50-year-ld hearts and turned the clck back t 30-r 35-year-ld hearts,” says Levine. “And the reasn they gt s much strnger and fitter was that their hearts culd nw fill a lt better and pump (泵送) a lt mre bld during exercise. ” But the hearts f thse wh participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spt in life t start exercising, if yu haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-lds thrugh a yearlng exercise training prgram, and nthing happened t them at all. ”
Dr. Nieca Gldberg, a spkeswman fr the American Heart Assciatin, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs t be repeated with far larger grups f peple t determine exactly which aspects f an exercise rutine make the biggest difference.
12. What des Levine want t explain by mentining the rubber band?
A. The right way f exercising. B. The causes f a heart attack.
C. The difficulty f keeping fit. D. The aging prcess f the heart.
13. In which aspect were the tw grups different in terms f research design?
A. Diet plan. B. Prfessinal backgrund.
C. Exercise type. D. Previus physical cnditin.
14. What des Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get yunger with aerbic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is mre suitable fr the yung.
C. It is never t late fr peple t start taking exercise.
D. The mre exercise we d, the strnger ur hearts get.
15. What des Dr. Nieca Gldberg suggest?
A. Making use f the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Cnducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpse f the study.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】

The United States rse t glbal pwer n the strength f its technlgy, and the lifebld that technlgy has lng been electricity. By prviding lng-distance cmmunicatin and energy, electricity created the mdem wrld. Yet prperly understd, the age f electricity is merely the secnd stage in the age f steam, which began a century earlier.

Meanwhile, ver the curse f 19th century, electricity went frm mere curisity t a basic necessity. Mrse invented a cde fr sending messages ver an electrmagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a vice. Edisn perfected an incandescent bulls that brught electric light int the American hme.
Mst imprtantly, Edisn realized that success depended n mass electrificatin, which he shwed in New Yrk City. With help frm Tesla, Westinghuse's firm develped a system using alternating current, which sn became the majr frms f pwer delivery.
T frame his stry, Klein creates the character f Ned, a fictinal witness t the prgress brught abut by the steams and electric revlutins in America during ne man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a lng narrative int an interesting ne.
4. What is Klein's understanding f the age f electricity?
A. It is clsely linked t the steam age.
B. It began earlier than prper thught.
C. It is a little-studied perid f histry.

Millins f waterfwl ( 水 禽 ) were killed at the hands f market hunters and a handful f verly ambitius sprtsmen. Millins f acres f wetlands were dried t feed and huse the ever-increasing ppulatins, greatly reducing waterfwl habitat.
In 1934, with the passage f the Migratry Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly cncerned natin tk firm actin t stp the destructin f migratry ( 迁徙的) waterfwl and the wetlands s vital t their survival. Under this Act, all waterfwl hunters 16 years f age and ver must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a plitical cartnist frm Des Mines, lwa, wh at that time was appinted by President Franklin Rsevelt as Directr f the Bureau f Bilgical Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price t ensure the survival f ur natural resurces.

At the start f the 20th century, an American engineer named Jhn Elfreth Watkins made predictins abut life tday. His predictins abut slwing ppulatin grwth, mbile phnes and increasing height were clse t the mark. But he was wrng in ne predictin: that everybdy wuld walk 10 miles a day.
Tday, in Australia, mst children n average fall 2, 000 steps shrt f the physical activity they need t avid being verweight. In the early 1970s, 40 per cent f children walked t schl, while in 2010, it was as lw as 15 per cent.
The decline is nt because we have all becme lazy. Families are pressed fr time, many with bth parents wrking t pay fr their huse, ften wrking hurs nt f their chsing, living in car-dependent neighbrhds with limited public transprt.
The ther side f the cin is equally a deprivatin: fr health and well-being, as well as lst pprtunities（机会）fr children t get t knw their lcal surrundings. And fr parents there are lst pprtunities t walk and talk with their yung schlar abut their day.
Mst parents will have eagerly asked their child abut their day, nly t meet with a “gd”, quickly fllwed by "I'm hungry". This is als my experience as a mther. But smewhere ver the daily walk mre abut my sn's day cmes ut. I hear him making sense f friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental pprtunity t hear mre.
Many primary schls supprt walking schl-bus rutes（路线）, with days f regular, parent-accmpanied walks. Ding just ne f these a few times a week is better than nthing. It can be tugh t begin and takes a little planning-running shes by the frnt dr, lunches made the night befre, umbrellas n rainy days and hats n ht nes-but it's certainly wrth trying.

Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use t cmmunicate. They say wild chimps cmmunicate 19 specific messages t ne anther with a "vcabulary" f 66 gestures. The scientists discvered this by fllwing and filming grups f chimps in Uganda, and examining mre than 5,000 incidents f these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hbaiter, wh led the research, said that this was the nly frm f intentinal cmmunicatin t be recrded in the animal kingdm. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.
"That's what's s amazing abut chimp gestures," she said. "They're the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect. ”
Althugh previus research has shwn that apes and mnkeys can understand cmplex infrmatin frm anther animal's call, the animals d nt appear t use their vices intentinally t cmmunicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hbaiter said.
Chimps will check t see if they have the attentin f the animal with which they wish t cmmunicate. In ne case, a mther presents her ft t her crying baby, signaling:" Climb n me. " The yungster immediately jumps n t its mthers back and they travel ff tgether. "The big message frm this study is that there is anther species (物种) ut there. that is meaningful in its cmmunicatin, s that's nt unique t humans," said Dr Hbaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, she added, the results were "a little disappinting".
"The vagueness f the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little t cmmunicate, r we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins," she said. "Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animal cnvey with nn-verbal cmmunicatin. S, it seems the gulf remains. "
44．What d chimps and humans have in cmmn accrding t Dr Hbaiter?
A．Memrizing specific wrds.B．Understanding cmplex infrmatin.
C．Using vices t cmmunicate.D．Cmmunicating messages n purpse.
45．What did Dr Shultz think f the study?
A．It was well designed but prly cnducted.
B．It was a gd try but the findings were limited.
C．It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D．It was a failure but the methds deserved praise.
46．What des the underlined wrd "gulf" in the last paragraph mean?

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们通过跟踪和拍摄乌干达的黑猩猩群，翻译出了黑猩猩用来交流的手势含义。
44．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.（她说，只有人类和黑猩猩有一个交流系统，他们故意向其他成员发送信息）”可知，根据Dr Hbaiter，黑猩猩和人类的共同点在于故意传递信息，故选D。
45．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, she added, the results were“a little disappinting”（曼彻斯特大学的进化生物学家苏珊娜·舒尔茨博士说，这项研究是值得称赞的，它试图丰富我们对人类语言进化的知识。但是，她补充说，结果“有点令人失望”）”可知，这项研究是一个好的尝试，但是发现的结果是有限的。故选B。
46．词义猜测题。首先根据第三段中的“They’re the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect.（在这方面，它们是唯一看起来像人类语言的东西）”可知，黑猩猩的手势交流很像我们人类语言的交流方式。但是根据最后一段中的“Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animals cnvey with nn-verbal cmmunicatins.（此外，这些含义似乎并不超越其他动物通过非语言交流所传达的信息）”可知，黑猩猩手势的交流方式还是和我们语言的交流方式存在不同的，也就是“S, it seems the gulf remains.（所以，看来差异依然存在）”，故gulf的意思是difference，故选A。
47．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures that wild chimpanzees use t cmmunicate.（研究人员表示，他们已经翻译出了野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义）”以及文章对这方面的讨论可知，文章主要讲科学家们对黑猩猩手势的研究及一些成果，所以D项：黑猩猩语言：翻译出来的交流手势，这一题目涵盖文章的内容。故选D。

During the training stage, each dg was shwn nly the upper half r the lwer half f the persn's face. The researchers then tested the dgs' ability t distinguish between human facial expressins by shwing them the ther half f the persn's face n images ttally different frm the nes used in training. The researchers fund that the dgs were able t pick the angry r happy face by tuching a picture f it with their nses mre ften than ne wuld expect by randm chance.
The study shwed the animals had figured ut hw t apply what they learned abut human faces during training t new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule ut that the dgs simply distinguish between the pictures based n a simple cue, such as the sight f teeth," said study authr Crsin Muller. "Instead, ur results suggest that the successful dgs realized that a smiling muth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies t an angry muth having the same meaning as angry eyes."
"With ur study, we think we can nw cnfidently cnclude that at least sme dgs can distinguish human facial expressins," Muller tld Live Science.
At this pint, it is nt clear why dgs seem t be equipped with the ability t recgnize different facial expressins in humans. "T us, the mst likely explanatin appears t be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lt f expsure t human facial expressins," and this expsure has prvided them with many chances t learn t distinguish between them, Muller said.
8. The new study fcused n whether dgs can_________.
A. distinguish shapesB. make sense f human faces
C. feel happy r angryD. cmmunicate with each ther
9. What can we learn abut the study frm paragraph 2?
A. Researchers tested the dgs in randm rder.
B. Diverse methds were adpted during training.
C. Pictures used in the tw stages were different
D. The dgs were phtgraphed befre the lest.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. A suggestin fr future studies.B. A pssible reasn fr the study findings.
C. A majr limitatin f the studyD. An explanatin f the research methd.

Returning t a bk yu’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an ld friend. There’s a welcme familiarity - but als smetimes a slight suspicin that time has changed yu bth, and thus the relatinship. But bks dn’t change, peple d. And that’s what makes the act f rereading s rich and transfrmative.
The beauty f rereading lies in the idea that ur bnd with the wrk is based n ur present mental register. It’s true, the lder I get, the mre I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all abut the present. It’s abut the nw and what ne cntributes t the nw, because reading is a give and take between authr and reader. Each has t pull their wn weight.
There are three bks I reread annually The first, which I take t reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Mveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memir f 1920s Paris. The language is almst intxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer lking back n an ambitius yet simpler time. Anther is Annie Dillard’s Hly the Firm, her petic 1975 ramble (随笔) abut everything and nthing. The third bk is Juli Crtazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Pems, because petry. And because Crtazar.
While I tend t buy a lt f bks, these three were given t me as gifs, which might add t the meaning I attach t them. But I imagine that, while mney is indeed wnderful and necessary, rereading an authr’s wrk is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best bks are the nes that pen further as time passes. But remember, it’s yu that has t grw and read and reread in rder t better understand yur friends.
24. Why des the authr like rereading?
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relatinship.
B. It’s a windw t a whle new wrld.
C. It’s a substitute fr drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding f neself.
25. What d we knw abut the bk A Mveable Feas!?
A. It’s a brief accunt f a trip.
B. It’s abut Hemingway’s life as a yung man.
C. It’s a recrd f a histric event.
D. It’s abut Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
26. What des the underlined wrd ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Debt
B. Reward.
C Allwance.
D. Face value.
27. What can we infer abut the authr frm the text?
A. He lves petry.
B. He’s an editr.
C. He’s very ambitius.
D. He teaches reading.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重新阅读的意义和益处并向读者介绍了作者每年重读的三本书。作者鼓励读者去重新阅读书籍。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But bks dn’t change, peple d. And that’s what makes the act f rereading s rich and transfrmative.(但是书没变，人变了。那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处)”和第二段“The beauty f rereading lies in that ur bnd with the wrk is based n ur present register. It is true, the lder I get, the mre I feel time has wings.(重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理状态。真的，我年纪越大，就越觉得时光飞逝。)”可推知，作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对自己的理解。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memir f 1920s Paris.”及“an aging writer lking back n an ambitius yet simpler time”可知，这本书出版于1964年，这是他关于20世纪20年代在巴黎的经典回忆录，是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾。由此可判断出A Mvable Feast是关于海明威年轻时的生活。故选B项。
26.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“while mney is indeed wnderful and necessary,(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)”可知，前后句为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an authr’s wrk is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”意为“但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报”，由此判断出划线词的意思是“回报”。故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The third bk is Juli Crtázar’s Save Twilight: selected pems, because petry.(第三本书是胡里奥·科塔扎的《拯救暮光之城: 诗歌精选》，因为诗歌)”可知，作者是由于喜欢诗歌而喜欢这本书。故选A项。

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely cntributing t fewer injuries. It des, hwever, have its wn prblem.
Race walkers are cnditined athletes. The lngest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilmeter race walk, which is abut five miles lnger than the marathn. But the sprt’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight thrugh mst f the leg swing and ne ft remain in cntact (接触) with the grund at all times. It’s this strange frm that makes race walking such an attractive activity, hwever, says Jaclyn Nrberg, an assistant prfessr f exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, Accrding t mst calculatins, race walkers mving at a pace f six miles per hur wuld burn abut 800 calries(卡路里) per hur, which is apprximately twice as many as they wuld burn walking, althugh fewer than running, which wuld prbably burn abut 1,000 r mre calries per hur.
Hwever, race walking des nt pund the bdy as much as running des, Dr. Nrberg says. Accrding t her research, runners hit the grund with as much as fur times their bdy weight per step, while race walkers, wh d nt leave the grund, create nly abut 1.4 times their bdy weight with each step.
As a result, she says, sme f the injuries assciated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncmmn amng race walkers. But the sprt’s strange frm des place cnsiderable stress n the ankles and hips, s peple with a histry f such injuries might want t be cautius in adpting the sprt. In fact, anyne wishing t try race walking shuld prbably first cnsult a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique, she says. It takes sme practice.
28. Why are race walkers cnditined athletes?
A. They must run lng distances.
B. They are qualified fr the marathn.
C. They have t fllw special rules.
D. They are gd at swinging their legs.
29. What advantage des race walking have ver running?
A. It’s mre ppular at the Olympics.
B. It’s less challenging physically.
C. It’s mre effective in bdy building.
D. It’s less likely t cause knee injuries.
30. What is Dr. Nrberg’s suggestin fr smene trying race walking?
A. Getting experts’ pinins.
B. Having a medical checkup.
C. Hiring an experienced cach.
D. Ding regular exercises.
31. Which wrd best describes the authr’s attitude t race walking?
A. Skeptical.B. Objective.
C. Tlerant.D. Cnservative.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了竞走相比跑步有诸多的优势，但是之前受过伤的人，要想从事这样运动要谨慎，最好咨询专家的建议。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“But the sprt’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight thrugh mst f the leg swing and ne ft remain in cntact with the grund at all times.”可知，但这项运动的规则要求竞走者的膝盖在摆动腿的大部分时间保持伸直，一只脚始终与地面接触。由此可知，竞走运动员是需要具备某些条件的运动员是因为运动员需要遵守特殊的规则。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a result, she says, sme f the injuries assciated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncmmn amng race walkers.”可知，一些与跑步有关的损伤，比如跑步者的膝盖，在竞走者中并不常见。由此可知，竞走与跑步相比的优势是不太可能导致膝盖受伤。故选D项。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Nrberg说的话“In fact, anyne wishing t try race walking shuld prbably first cnsult a cach r experienced racer t learn prper technique(事实上，任何想尝试竞走的人都应该首先咨询教练或有经验的竞走运动员，学习适当的技巧。)”可知，Dr. Nrberg建议想尝试竞走的人征询专家的建议。故选A项。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shws, while mst likely cntributing t fewer injuries. It des, hwever, have its wn prblem.”可知，研究表明，竞走和跑步一样有很多健身益处，而且它还很少导致受伤。不过，它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态度是客观的。故选B项。

When yu were trying t figure ut what t buy fr the envirnmentalist n yur hliday list, fur prbably didn’t crss yur mind. But sme eclgists and fashin (时装)enthusiasts are trying t bring back the market fr fur made frm nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashin shws in New Orleans and Brklyn have(shwcased)nutria fur made int clthes in different styles. “It sunds crazy t talk abut guilt-free fur-unless yu understand that the nutria are destrying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, prject directr f Righteus Fur.
Scientists in Luisiana were s cncerned that they decided t pay hunters $5 a tail. Sme f the fur ends up in the fashin shws like the ne in Brklyn last mnth.
Nutria were brught there frm Argentina by fur farmers and let g int the wild. “The ecsystem dwn there can’t handle this nn-native species(物种).It’s destrying the envirnment. It’s them r us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria check fr decades，but when the market fr nutria cllapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Bilgist Edmnd Mutn runs the nutria cntrl prgram fr Luisiana. He says it’s nt easy t cnvince peple that nutria fur is green, but he has n dubt abut it. Hunters bring in mre than 300,000 nutria tails a year, s part f Mutn’s jb these days is trying t prmte fur.
Then there’s Righteus Fur and its unusual fashin. Mrgan says，”T give peple a guilt-free ptin that they can wear withut smene thrwing paint n them-1 think that’s ging t be a massive thing, at least here in New Yrk.” Designer Jennifer Andersn admits it tk her a while t cme arund t the pinin that using nutria fur fr her creatins is mrally acceptable. She trying t cme up with a lable t attach t nutria fashins t shw it is ec-friendly.
28. What is the purpse f the fashin shws in New Orleans and Brklyn?
A. T prmte guilt-free fur.
B. T expand the fashin market.
C. T intrduce a new brand.
D. T celebrate a winter hliday.
29. Why are scientists cncerned abut nutria?
A. Nutria damage the ecsystem seriusly.
B. Nutria are an endangered species.
C. Nutria hurt lcal cat-sized animals.
D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
30. What des the underlined wrd “cllapsed” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?

【解析】本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地，因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措，科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段Unusual fashin shws in New Orleans and Brklyn have shwcased nutria fur made int clthes in different styles. “It sunds crazy t talk abut guilt-free fur-unless yu understand that the nutria are destrying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, prject directr f Righteus Fur.得知，美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀，时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服，项目总监Cree McCree说：“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地，否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”，可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏，这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists in Luisiana were s cncerned that they decided t pay hunters $5 a tail.得知，科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们5美元，可以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡，。故选A。
30.词义猜测题。根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check fr decades, but when the market fr nutria cllapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 得知，毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制，但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时，这种猫大小的动物数量疯长，根据but判断，这是转折关系，以前由于皮毛交易，海狸鼠处于控制，现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增，是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的，可以推断出划线词cllapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。
31.推理判断题。根据第二段Mdel Paige Mrgan says, “T give peple a guilt –free ptin that they can wear withut smene thrwing paint n them-I think that’s ging t be a massive thing, at least in New Yrk. ” 得知，为了给人们一种无罪的选择，人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆，我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情，根据模特摩根所说得知，在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。故选B。

As scientists lk deeper int ur genes (基因), they are finding examples f human evlutin in just the past few thusand years. Peple in Ethipian highlands have adapted t living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising peple in East Africa and nrthern Eurpe have gained a mutatin (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team f researchers reprted a new kind f adaptatin - nt t air r t fd, but t the cean. A grup f sea-dwelling peple in Sutheast Asia have evlved int better divers. The Bajau, as these peple are knwn, number in the hundreds f thusands in Indnesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditinally lived n husebats; in recent times, they’ve als built huses n stilts (支柱) in castal waters. “They are simply a stranger t the land,” said Redney C. Jubilad, a University f Hawaii researcher wh studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilad first met the Bajau while grwing up n Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing r harvesting shellfish. “We were s amazed that they culd stay underwater much lnger than us lcal islanders,” Dr. Jubilad said. “I culd see them actually walking under the sea.”
In201, Melissa Ilard, then a graduate student in genetics at the University f Cpenhagen, heard abut the Bajau. She wndered if centuries f diving culd have led t the evlutin f physical characteristics that made the task easier fr them. “it seemed like the perfect chance fr natural selectin t act n a ppulatin,” said Dr. Ilard. She als said there were likely a number f ther genes that help the Bajau dive.

Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake. And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins(份), it's the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits the researchers cnducted tw experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate wmen were individually invited int a lab t stensibly(表面上)participate in a study abut mvie viewership. Befre the film began, each wman was asked t help herself t a snack. An actr hired by the researchers grabbed her fd first. In her natural state, the actr weighed 105 punds. But in half the cases she wre a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight t 180 punds.
Bth the fat and thin versins f the actr tk a large amunt f fd. The participants fllwed suit, taking mre fd than they nrmally wuld have. Hwever, they tk significantly mre when the actr was thin.
Fr the secnd test, in ne case the thin actr tk tw pieces f candy frm the snack bwls. In the ther case, she tk 30 pieces. The results were similar t the first test: the participants fllwed suit but tk significantly mre candy when the thin actr tk 30 pieces.
The tests shw that the scial envirnment is extremely influential when we're making decisins. If this fellw participant is ging t eat mre, s will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. Hwever, we'll adjust the influence. If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I'll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I'll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
12. What is the recent study mainly abut?
A. Fd safety.B. Mvie viewership.
C. Cnsumer demand.D. Eating behavir.
13. What des the underlined wrd “beanples” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. Big eaters.B. Overweight persns.
C. Picky eaters.D. Tall thin persns.
14. Why did the researchers hire the actr?
A. T see hw she wuld affect the participants.
B. T test if the participants culd recgnize her.
C. T find ut what she wuld d in the tw tests.
D. T study why she culd keep her weight dwn.

A. Hw hungry we are.B. Hw slim we want t be.
C. Hw we perceive thers.D. Hw we feel abut the fd.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】本文是说明文。最近的研究表明：我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。文章详述了这个实验的过程。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake”可知，根据消费者研究杂志最近的一项研究，我们的饮食伙伴的大小和消费习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量。因此这项研究是关于饮食行为的。故选D。
13.词义猜测题。根据前半句“And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins（份）”可知，现有的研究认为：你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为，你真正应该避免的是the beanples with big appetites。由cntrary t可推断出，画线词和heavier peple（超重的人）相反，结合选项，D选项（瘦瘦高高的人）正好和heavier peple正好相反。故选D。
14.推理判断题。根据第二段的“T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits, the researchers cnducted tw experiments”可知， 为了测试社会影响对饮食习惯的影响，研究人员进行了两个实验。根据倒数第三段的内容可知，在两个实验中，胖的和瘦的演员都吃了大量的食物。参与者也照做，吃的食物比平常多。 然而，当演员是瘦的时候，参与者们服用的食物更多。由此推断，研究人员雇用演员是为了看看她如何影响参与者。故选A。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I’ll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I’ll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I? ”可知，如果一个超重的人吃很大一份，我会忍住一点，因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。但如果一个瘦的人吃很多，我会跟着做。如果他吃得多保持苗条，为什么我不能呢？ 因此推断我们是根据我们对他人的看法（即：如何看待他人）来调整影响的。故选C。

2020年6月浙江卷之B篇
The traffic signals alng Factria Bulevard in Bellevue, Washingtn, generally dn't flash the same length f green twice in a rw, especially at rush hur. At 9:30am, the full red/yellw/green signal cycle might be 140 secnds. By 9:33am, a burst f additinal traffic might push it t 145 secnds. Less traffic at 9:37am culd push it dwn t 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing f the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-grwing city just east f Seattle, uses a system that is gaining ppularity arund the US: intersectin(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time t traffic cnditins. These lights, knwn as adaptive signals, have led t significant declines in bth the truble and cst f travels between wrk and hme.
“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanvic, a researcher at Flrida Atlantic University.
Fr all f Bellevue’s success, adaptive signals are nt a cure-all fr jammed radways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transprtatin Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial fr sme cities, thers are s jammed that nly a sharp reductin in the number f cars n the rad will make a meaningful difference. “It’s nt ging t fix everything, but adaptive signals have sme benefits fr smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch t adaptive signals has been a lessn in the value f welcming new appraches. In the past, there was ften an autmatic reactin t increased traffic: just widen the rads, says Mark Pch, the Bellevue Transprtatin Department’s traffic engineering manager. Nw he hpes that ther cities will cnsider making their streets run smarter instead f just making them bigger.
25. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Increased length f green lights.B. Shrtened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing f traffic signals.D. Smth traffic flw n the rad.
26. What des Kevin Balke say abut adaptive signals?
A. They wrk better n brad rads.
B. They shuld be used in ther cities.
C. They have greatly reduced traffic n the rad.
D. They are less helpful in cities seriusly jammed.
27. What can we learn frm Bellevue’s success?
A. It is rewarding t try new things.B. The ld methds still wrk tday.
C. I pays t put thery int practice.D. The simplest way is the best way.
【答案】25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。美国华盛顿州的Bellevue采用了能随交通状况而调节交通灯时间的适应性信号灯，大大缓解了交通压力，也表明人们对于交通阻塞问题不再只是拓宽道路，而是能够采用新方法。
25.指代猜测题。That位于第二段句首，应是指代第一段的内容。根据第一段内容尤其是第一段最后一句“Just like the traffic itself, the timing f the signals changes.(就像交通本身一样，信号灯的时间也会变化)”可知，第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活变化；“That is by design.”意为“那是有意为之”，由此可推知，That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故选C项。
26.推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中“adaptive signals are nt a cure-all fr jammed radways(但自适应信号并不是解决拥堵道路的万能药)”及第二句中“thers are s jammed that nly a sharp reductin in the number f cars n the rad will make a meaningful difference(其他城市交通堵塞如此严重，只有减少道路上的车辆才能起有意义的作用) ”可推知，Kevin Balke认为适应性信号灯对于交通堵塞很严重的城市没有太大帮助。故选D项。
27.推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“These lights, knwn as adaptive signals, have led t significant declines in bth the truble and cst f travels between wrk and hme.(这些灯，被称为适应性信号灯，已经大大减少了通勤的麻烦和花费)”最后一段第一句“In Bellevue, the switch t adaptive signals has been a lessn in the value f welcming new appraches.(在Bellevue，对适应性信号灯的转变是一个在欢迎新方法的价值方面的榜样)”可推知，从Bellevue的成功中可以得出，尝试新事物是值得的。故选A项。

Then, fr eight years, the scientists asked the same grup t cme back t the lab every 18 mnths t take the same srts f tests.
Thse wh had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jbs befre retirement tended t d the best n the tests. And they tended t lse cgnitive(认知) functin at a much slwer rate than thse with the least mentally challenging jbs. The results held true even after the scientists accunted fr the participants’ verall health status.
“This wrks just like physical exercise, ” says Francisca Then, wh led the study. “After a lng run, yu may feel like yu’re in pain, yu may feel tired. But it makes yu fit. After a lng day at wrk-sure, yu will feel tired, but it can help yur brain stay healthy. ”

Tday's wrld is nt an easy adjustment fr yung adults. Key skill set fr success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers frm Brigham Yung University discvered that fathers are in a unique psitin t help their adlescent children learn persistence.
BYU prfessrs Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after fllwing 325 American families ver several years. And ver time，the persistence gained thrugh fathers led t higher achievement in schl.
"There are relatively few studies that stress the unique rle f fathers，"Padilla-Walker said. "This research als helps t prve that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key t a child's life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need t practice an "authritative" parenting style. Authritative parenting is nt authritarian:rigid，demanding r cntrlling. Rather，an authritative parenting style includes sme f the fllwing characteristics:children feel warmth and lve frm their father；respnsibility and the reasns behind rules are stressed children are given an apprpriate level f autnmy(自主权).
In the study，abut 52 percent f the dads exhibited abve-average levels f authritative parenting. A key finding is that ver time，children raised by an authritative father were significantly mre likely t develp persistence，which leads t better utcmes in schl.
