Fossil fuels produce emissions, but renewable energy sources cause limited damage to the environment. Here are the main types of renewable energy, with facts and examples from around the world. Solar Solar panels turn heat from the sun’s rays into electricity, and solar heaters use that energy to heat water directly. Germany has the highest solar capacity in the world, but China is the world’s largest market and the largest producer of solar technology. Hydropower The power of water turns turbines which produce electricity. Since ancient times, watermills have been used a lot. Most of the renewable energy in China comes from hydropower plants, such as the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest power station. Geothermal This has been a natural source of energy for thousands of years. Today, heat from below the earth’s surface heats water into steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The USA has the largest capacity, with over 80% generated in California. The Yangbajing Power Plant is the largest geothermal plant in China. Wind Tall turbines are turned by the wind to produce electricity. Wind “farms” are built on land, or offshore, to take advantage of more frequent and powerful winds at sea. The world’s largest wind farm is the London Array. It has 175 wind turbines and is 20 km off the coast of England. Researchers think China could meet all her electricity demands from wind by 2030. Wind farms in provinces such as Gansu have an endless wind supply. 1．Which country is the top in solar capacity worldwide according to the passage? A．China. B．Germany. C．The USA． D．England. 2．Which type of energy in China will play the greatest role in the future according to the passage? A．Solar. B．Hydropower. C．Wind. D．Geothermal. 3．In which column of a newspaper could the passage be found? A．Business. B．Science. C．Culture. D．Travel. 1．B 2．C 3．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了可再生能源的类型，包括太阳能、水力发电、地热能和风能，以及它们在世界范围内的应用。 1．细节理解题。根据文章Solar部分的“Germany has the highest solar capacity in the world, but China is the world’s largest market and the largest producer of solar technology.(德国拥有世界上最高的太阳能产能，但中国是世界上最大的市场和最大的太阳能技术生产国)”可知，德国是世界上太阳能发电量最多的国家。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers think China could meet all her electricity demands from wind by 2030.(研究人员认为，到2030年，中国可以通过风能满足所有的电力需求。)”可知，在中国，风能将在未来发挥最大的作用。故选C。 3．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了可再生能源的类型，包括太阳能、水力发电、地热能和风能，以及它们在世界范围内的应用。这些内容属于科学和技术领域的范畴，因此这篇文章最有可能出现在报纸的“科学”专栏中。故选B。 (23-24高二下•山东泰安•期中)With many people setting health goals as part of their New Year’s resolutions, here are the reasons why you should include cold water therapy (冷水疗法) in yours. Improved sleep The calming effects of cold water therapy extend to the field of sleep. Some individuals report enhanced relaxation and improved sleep quality, particularly when engaging in this practice before bedtime. Stress reduction The stimulation of the body’s stress response during cold water therapy holds the potential to enhance one’s tolerance to stress over time. Regular exposure to this practice may contribute to an increased adaptation to stressors, developing a more adaptive response to life’s challenges. Skin and hair health Cold water’s ability to constrict blood vessels (收缩血管) can lead to reduced puffiness (浮肿), contributing to healthier-looking skin. Furthermore, exposure to cold water may impart benefits to hair health and shine, adding beauty to the overall well-being promoted by this tradition. Increased endurance Exploring the fields of physical fitness, regular engagement in cold water therapy is suggested to improve endurance. This enhancement is due to the positive impact on cardiovascular (心血管) strength, ultimately increasing the body’s tolerance to stress on the cardiovascular system over time. While the benefits are convincing, it is crucial to acknowledge that individual responses can vary. Therefore, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable before starting cold water therapy. Additionally, a gradual approach and proper adaptability are essential to avoid subjecting the body to extreme cold exposure without due preparation. As we start this journey into the new year, considering the incorporation of cold water therapy into our resolutions may provide a refreshing and healthful dimension to our pursuit of wellbeing. 1．Which of the following is not the benefit of cold water therapy? A．We can become beauties. B．It is likely that we will sleep better. C．Our cardiovascular system may be stronger. D．We may improve our ability to handle pressure． 2．What does the underlined word “impart” in the Paragraph 4 mean? A．Deny. B．Offer. C．Donate. D．Receive. 3．What does the author agree with? A．Doctors advise patients to adopt cold water therapy. B．Once we apply cold water therapy, our stress will be reduced C．Everyone can benefit a lot if engaged regularly in cold water therapy. D．We should adapt to cold water gradually when starting cold water therapy. 1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。旨在介绍冷水疗法的益处，以及如何更好地运用这一疗法。 1．细节理解题。根据前三个小标题下的第一句“The calming effects of cold water therapy extend to the field of sleep. Some individuals report enhanced relaxation and improved sleep quality, particularly when engaging in this practice before bedtime. (冷水疗法的镇静作用延伸到睡眠领域。一些人报告说，放松感增强，睡眠质量提高，尤其是在睡前进行这种练习时。)”，“The stimulation of the body’s stress response during cold water therapy holds the potential to enhance one’s tolerance to stress over time. (冷水疗法中对身体压力反应的刺激有可能随着时间的推移增强一个人对压力的耐受力。)”和“Cold water’s ability to constrict blood vessels (收缩血管) can lead to reduced puffiness (浮肿), contributing to healthier-looking skin. (冷水收缩血管的能力可以减少浮肿，使皮肤看起来更健康。)”可知，冷水疗法同时对抗压能力，心血管和睡眠有促进作用。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句话，即划线词后半句“adding beauty to the overall well-being promoted by this tradition (为这一传统所促进的整体幸福增添美)”，可知，此处所提的应该是冷水疗法的益处，故可推测划线词impart为能带来益处，提供益处。而四个选项分别意为：A. deny否认；B. offer提供；C. donate捐赠；D. receive获得。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据本文到数第二段“Additionally, a gradual approach and proper adaptability are essential to avoid subjecting the body to extreme cold exposure without due preparation. (此外，循序渐进的方法和适当的适应性对于避免身体在没有适当准备的情况下暴露在极端寒冷的环境中至关重要。)”可知，作者认为开始冷水疗法之前，患者应该循序渐进的去适应。故选D项。 (23-24高二下•山东聊城•期中)Whether it’s an overnight pre-college program, a local day camp, or a sleepaway adventure experience, summer programs for teens are a great opportunity to pursue new interests, improve existing skills, and make new friends outside of the classroom.

(23-24高二下•山东临沂•期中)A CLEAN, GREEN ENERGY FUTURE Nowadays, many countries are making the important change from fossil fuels to clean, green and renewable sources of energy. Fossil fuels produce emissions, but renewable energy sources cause limited damage to the environment. Here are the main types of renewable energy, with facts and examples from around the world. Solar Solar panels turn heat from the sun’s rays into electricity, and solar heaters use that energy to heat water directly. Germany has the highest solar capacity in the world, but China is the world’s largest market and the largest producer of solar technology. Hydropower The power of water turns turbines which produce electricity. Since ancient times, watermills have been used a lot. Most of the renewable energy in China comes from hydropower plants, such as the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest power station. Geothermal This has been a natural source of energy for thousands of years. Today, heat from below the earth’s surface heats water into steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. The USA has the largest capacity, with over 80% generated in California. The Yangbajing Power Plant is the largest geothermal plant in China. Wind Tall turbines are turned by the wind to produce electricity. Wind “farms” are built on land, or offshore, to take advantage of more frequent and powerful winds at sea. The world’s largest wind farm is the London Array. It has 175 wind turbines and is 20 km off the coast of England. Researchers think China could meet all her electricity demands from wind by 2030. Wind farms in provinces such as Gansu have an endless wind supply. 1．Which country is the top in solar capacity worldwide according to the passage? A．China. B．Germany. C．The USA． D．England. 2．Which type of energy in China will play the greatest role in the future according to the passage? A．Solar. B．Hydropower. C．Wind. D．Geothermal. 3．In which column of a newspaper could the passage be found? A．Business. B．Science. C．Culture. D．Travel.

Improved sleep The calming effects of cold water therapy extend to the field of sleep. Some individuals report enhanced relaxation and improved sleep quality, particularly when engaging in this practice before bedtime. Stress reduction The stimulation of the body’s stress response during cold water therapy holds the potential to enhance one’s tolerance to stress over time. Regular exposure to this practice may contribute to an increased adaptation to stressors, developing a more adaptive response to life’s challenges.

Furthermore, exposure to cold water may impart benefits to hair health and shine, adding beauty to the overall well-being promoted by this tradition. Increased endurance Exploring the fields of physical fitness, regular engagement in cold water therapy is suggested to improve endurance. This enhancement is due to the positive impact on cardiovascular (心血管) strength, ultimately increasing the body’s tolerance to stress on the cardiovascular system over time. While the benefits are convincing, it is crucial to acknowledge that individual responses can vary. Therefore, consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable before starting cold water therapy. Additionally, a gradual approach and proper adaptability are essential to avoid subjecting the body to extreme cold exposure without due preparation. As we start this journey into the new year, considering the incorporation of cold water therapy into our resolutions may provide a refreshing and healthful dimension to our pursuit of wellbeing. 1．Which of the following is not the benefit of cold water therapy?
