Ⅰ 忆课文·语篇理解
There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people 1 you don't know so well, it'll cause all kinds of trouble.
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend's. 2 (treat) this way, you're sure to feel hurt. We should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can't.
Here is what you need to do. First, apologise 3 your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games, you need to work together, and that means 4 (communicate) with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him 5 (genuine) that you were talking without thinking.
Then, talk to your friend. Your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating 6 you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on.
Thirdly, think about your own 7 (behave). Don't say too much when you're angry! Filled with anger, you tend 8 (say) whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take 9 deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak 10 (late).
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
答案:1.who/whom 2.Treated 3.to 4.communicating 5.genuinely 6.what 7.behaviour 8.to say 9.a 10.later
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive!—Walter Scott
We all know that honesty is an important value and that lying is wrong, but who can 1 (honest) say that they've never told a lie? Perhaps we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that most of the lies we tell are “white lies”: little lies that we tell 2 (protect) others from the truth.
One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is to try to make others feel 3 (good). However, when we lie and say that someone's haircut looks good, 4 when we say that we love a meal that we secretly hate, 5 (be) we really hoping to improve the situation for someone else? Perhaps we are in fact lying to protect ourselves from the disappointment and 6 (angry) of others.
Another reason for telling a white lie is to give encouragement. Say for example that your friend asks you 7 you think of his singing. You of course say that it's wonderful, despite secretly 8 (think) that your cat can sing better. Stop for a moment and consider that perhaps your friend 9 (want) some frank comments from you so that he can improve. Or perhaps, he needs to know that he should look 10 a different hobby. We may also tell a white lie when we want to protect others from bad news. Going back to Walter Scott's lines, we may find even white lines have results we cannot know in advance.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
答案:1.honestly 2.to protect 3.better 4.or 5.are 6.anger 7.what 8.thinking 9.wants 10.for

课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读
A
(2024·甘肃省白银市靖远县一中、四中高三联考)Sighs have long been seen as a sign of depression, frustration or even despair, leading us to ask the sighing person, “What's wrong?” A recent study turns that belief on its head. Instead of seeing sighs as sadness or annoyance, recognize them for what they accomplish—stress relief, said Dr David Spiegel. “People think taking a deep breath is the way to ease stress,” he said. “But it turns out that exhaling (呼气) slowly is a better way to calm yourself.”
Spiegel and his team conducted a study, comparing three different types of deep breathing with mindfulness meditation (冥想). The goal was to see whether a breathing technique might be as effective as meditation in reducing stress. Researchers sorted 114 people into four groups and asked them to practice mindful meditation or one breathing exercise—box breathing, cyclic hyperventilation or cyclic sighing—for five minutes a day for 28 days. Box breathing requires a person to breathe in, hold, breathe out, and pause equally to the count of four. In cyclic hyperventilation, a person breathes in deeply and out quickly—the inhalations are much longer than the exhalations. In cyclic sighing, a person inhales through the nose until the lungs are halfway full, then pauses briefly. The lungs are then filled completely with another breath, and then the breath is slowly exhaled out of the mouth.
The team then assessed moods, anxiety levels and sleep behavior after each breathing or meditation session. Sleep was not affected, the study found. All forms of breathing and meditation increased positive mood and improved anxiety. However, breathing was more effective than meditation, with cyclic sighing making the most difference, the study found.
Deliberately taking a slow, deep breath, holding it, and then letting it out slowly activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for controlling how the body rests and digests, Spiegel said. Heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, digestion is improved and the mind begins to wind down and relax.
“We believe breathing is a pathway into mindbody control,” he added. “It's part of the autonomic system like digestion and your heartbeat, but unlike those body functions, you can easily regulate breathing.”

(2024·山西省大同市第一中学高三月考)In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we've discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a oneonone conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers' findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”. After engaging in 12minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.

(2023·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三二模)Known on social media as The Sioux Chef, Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He is reconnecting the locals of North America with native flavors and ingredients, and working to inspire a generation of indigenous (本土的) chefs to reclaim their cooking past.
Pine Ridge in South Dakota contains some of the poorest communities in the country, and it's out of that environment that Sherman got his first job in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher at a local steakhouse. As he developed a love of cooking, which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines, Sherman realized he didn't know indigenous recipes.
“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away? How were they getting oils, salts and fats and things like that?” Sherman remembered asking himself in an interview on PBS NewsHour. “So it took me quite a few years of just researching, but it really became a passion.”
These years of researching, talking to elders, and consulting written material helped him produce The Sioux Chefs Indigenous Kitchen, which in 2018 won Sherman the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook.
After publishing the book, Sherman opened his restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS). It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills, and reconnect with their cooking heritage.
“Part of our challenge to ourselves was to cut out ingredients that are not native so we stopped using dairy, wheat flour and cane sugar,” he said. He cooks with local ingredients. His choices of meats are the same as those hunted by his ancestors—deer, fish, and birds.
“For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation (同化现象), we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman said. “But we're at a point now where we can reclaim it and develop it for the next generation. To be able to share culture through food will be really healing.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Sean Sherman (肖恩·谢尔曼)致力于重新确定本土菜肴的地位,并且鼓励更多的人成为本土厨师,以对抗现如今世界各地菜肴的严重同化。

B.Its high speed of evolution.

(2024·河北省石家庄市部分名校高三大联考)In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn't seen another woman in her role—not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centers. Over the course of eight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of being first responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow campers fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful campers must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench (长椅) for a senior at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of the Kids Help Phone.
Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52yearold Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Andréa Speranza (安德里亚·斯佩兰萨)是一名女性消防员,多年来她一直致力于鼓励其他年轻女性像她一样成为消防员。
5.What was probably Speranza's wish in 2001?
A.To see more female firefighters.
B.To make contact with more teenage girls.
C.To be recruited to the Halifax Regional Fire Service.
D.To work parttime in schools and recreation centers.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“In 2000, Andréa Speranza ... the Halifax Regional Fire Service.”可知,Andréa Speranza实现了成为一名消防员的梦想;再根据第一段中的“Speranza decided that ... a career like hers.(斯佩兰萨决定,她想帮助年轻女性看到,她们也可以拥有像她一样的事业。)”可知,Speranza希望看到更多的女孩能够像她一样成为消防员。故选A。
6.What does the underlined part “ins and outs” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Risks. B.Chances.
C.Details. D.Purposes.
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据第二段末句“Over the course of eight days ... the jaws of life (救生钳) on a car.”可知,女孩们在这八天里学习如何灭火、提供急救,甚至是使用救生钳这些作为急救人员需要掌握的详细内容。因此,画线部分意为“详细内容”。故选C。
7.What can be inferred about Camp Courage?
A.It is a nonprofit international organization.
B.It teaches the value of being helpful to others.
C.It requires its campers to write an essay every week.
D.It introduces boys and girls to the emergency services.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Hopeful campers ... the Kids Help Phone.(有希望的露营者还必须提交一篇文章,描述他们计划如何帮助他们的社区,或有需要的特定个人。他们必须实现这个计划——从在公交车站为一位老人建一张长椅,到在当地成立一个Kids Help Phone分会。)”可推知,Camp Courage这一机构向人们传递乐于助人的价值观。故选B。
8.What can we say about Speranza?
A.She had a burning ambition to play comedy.
B.She used to be reserved and disciplined.
C.She is intellectual and scholarly.
D.She is brave and inspiring.
答案:D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,Speranza是一名女性消防员,由此可推知,她非常勇敢;另外,她还通过Camp Courage这一机构来鼓励其他年轻女性成为消防员,由此可推知,她也是一位鼓舞人心的消防员。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·江苏省南通市海门区高三第一次调研考试)Recently I read an article “We All Need SelfReflection” and it made me think that I need to selfreflect more and take a break from life.
1 . For example, after I graduated from college, I took some time to selfreflect on the past four years of my college career. Drinking my favorite coffee, I looked back at each moment and thought about how I felt during those years. I had a mixture of emotions. Sometimes, I wish I did more in terms of extracurricular activities or internships (实习期) or I wish I socialized and partied more. 2 . But I can't change the past. Selfreflecting on the past is a lesson for me to better prepare for the future.
Even though it can help me better prepare for the future, selfreflecting itself can be both good and bad for me. 3 . When I reflect on things that haven't been proud of from the past, I think about them a lot. However, as I mentioned above, I can't change the past. 4 , like getting my first internship or choreographing (编舞) my first dance by myself. I figure that I need to do that more.
Everyone needs to get away from the current reality for a bit, relax and selfreflect. 5 . Selfreflecting can bring peace of mind and make us proud. It did for me.
A.Life is too short and time passes quickly
B.I know I haven't done enough selfreflection
C.So I persuade myself to reflect on the good things in life
D.I reflect on what could have been if I made different decisions
E.I tend to overthink a lot, which is a habit I'm still trying to break
F.We all need to take some time to selfreflect on the good of our experiences
G.The only times that I selfreflect in my life are when big life events happen to me
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。最近作者读了一篇文章《我们都需要自我反省》,它让作者觉得自己需要更多地自我反省,从生活中休息一下。
1.G 根据下文“For example ... of my college career.”及常识可知,大学毕业属于人生中的一件大事。由此可知,G项(在我的生活中,只有在发生重大事件的时候,我才会自我反省)引出下文。故选G。
2.D 上文“Sometimes, I wish ... socialized and partied more.”提到,有时作者希望在课外活动或实习方面做得更多,或者参加更多的社交活动和聚会。D项(我思考如果我做出不同的决定会是什么样子)承接上文,同时与下文“But I can't change the past.”形成转折关系。故选D。
3.E 下文“When I reflect on things that haven't been proud of from the past, I think about them a lot.”提到,有时候,作者会过度反省。E项(我倾向于过度思考,这是一个我仍在努力打破的习惯)引出下文。故选E。
4.C 下文“like getting my first internship or choreographing (编舞) my first dance by myself”在列举生活中美好的事情。C项(所以我说服自己去反思生活中的美好事物)衔接下文。故选C。
5.F 根据上文“Everyone needs to get away from the current reality for a bit, relax and selfreflect.(每个人都需要暂时离开当前的现实、放松和自我反省。)”及下文“Selfreflecting can bring peace of mind and make us proud.(自我反省可以带来内心的平静,让我们感到自豪。)”可知,F项(我们都需要花一些时间来反思我们经历的好处)承上启下。故选F。

课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读
A
(2024·河南省名校高三阶段检测)
Solar Panels
While both solar panels and plant leaves harvest energy from the sun, a team at Princeton University took biomimicry (仿生学) in solar panels a step further by adding folds to solar cells. The folds look like the natural wrinkles found in leaves, channeling more light into the cell. The researchers claimed in 2015 that the leaflike cells generated 47 percent more electricity than those without folds.
SelfCleaning Paint
The surface of the lotus (莲) plant's leaves gets rid of dirt and water so well that this selfcleaning quality was named the “lotus effect” in 1977. In 1999, the German building company Sto released an outdoor paint called Lotusan. When dried, the paint's surface is similar to that of the lotus leaf to shed water and dirt off immediately.
Bullet Trains
The Shinkansen Bullet Train in Japan is known for its aerodynamic shape that decreases the amount of sound the train makes while entering and exiting tunnels at speeds of 150 to 200 mph. The trains were modeled on a bird that hunts fish by diving into bodies of water. The shape of the train also allows it to travel 10 percent faster with about 15 percent less electricity.
Wetsuits
Unlike whales, beavers (河狸) don't have layers of fat to keep them warm when they dive into icy water. Instead, their thick fur traps air among the individual hairs, keeping the mammals warm and dry. In 2016, a team of engineers at MIT sought to copy this quality in a wetsuit covered with rubber “hairs”, specifically designed for watersports athletes like surfers. Just like beavers, the athletes would be kept warm by air trapped on the outside of the suit.
篇章导读:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个仿生学的发明。

(2024·山西省临汾市高三考前适应性考试)A team from Newcastle University and Northumbria University in the UK has found that the thin, root-like threads produced by many fungi (真菌) can potentially be used as a biodegradable, wearable material that's also able to repair itself.
In their tests, the researchers focused on the Ganoderma lucidum fungus, producing a skin from branching thin threads, which together weave into a structure called a mycelium (菌丝体). With a little more work, the fragile skins could serve as a substitute for leather, satisfying environmental and fashion tastes.
“The results suggest that mycelium materials can survive in dry and unfavourable environments, and self-repairing is possible with minimal intervention after a twoday recovery period,” write the researchers in their published paper. However, the process used to produce these materials tends to kill off the fungal spores (孢子) hat help the organism regenerate itself.
A new approach involving a mix of mycelia, proteins, and other nutrients in a liquid encouraged the growth of a skin. The results are currently too thin and delicate to be tuned into a jacket. However, the researchers are confident that it's possible that future innovations could turn it into a tougher skin, possibly by combining layers or plasticizing in glycerol. Crucially, the production process didn't kill off the fungal spores. Tests on the material showed that it was indeed able to replace holes made in it. The material was as strong as before, though it was still possible to see where the holes had been.
“Due to their functional properties, the ability of this regenerative mycelium material to heal micro and macro defects opens interesting future prospects for unique product applications in leather-goods replacements such as furniture, automotive seals, and fashion wear,” write the searchers.
There's a long way to go here before you'll be wearing clothes made out of fungus. The growing and healing processes take several days to happen at the moment for example, something which could be sped up over time.
