Click to know the list of durable laptops on Amazon: check the features and prices. ●Blender for Smoothies and Desserts A blender is a kitchen appliance for chopping food.

Today let’s talk about how to choose the right blender for smoothies. Before you choose a blender, it is worth deciding on the model that will be most convenient to use at home. Smoothies are made very simply, but that smoothie, which you can try in a cafe, is most often made on a large industrial blender. Such a device has a large size and consumes a lot of electricity. ●Best Tablet for College Students in 2022 The modern student needs a powerful, convenient and reliable tablet. And the choice in 2022 is quite wide. Laptops definitely still take hold, but tablets have discovered a market among people who like their very small and light designs, long battery lives, and simpleness. Those still attempting to weigh the benefits need to begin by reading College Students Should Consider Tablets Instead of Laptops. Android tablets have gained popularity among a wide audience of users.

Those still attempting to weigh the benefits need to begin by reading College Students Should Consider Tablets Instead of Laptops.( 笔记本电脑无疑仍然占据主导地位，但平板电脑已经在那些喜欢其小巧轻便的设计、长电池寿命和简单性的人群中找到了市场。那些还在权衡利弊的人，需要从阅读《大学生应该考虑平板电脑而不是笔记本电脑》开始)” 可知，准备大学生活的学生可能会对介绍适合大学生的平板电脑的内容感兴趣，所以 A 选项不符合题意。根据“Blender for Smoothies and Desserts”部分“A blender is a kitchen appliance for chopping food. With it you can easily make a puree, porridge, mousse, or smoothie. It is a great home helper for any housewife who loves to cook.( 搅拌机是厨房里用来切碎食物的器具。有了它，你可以很容易地做成泥、粥、慕斯或冰沙。这是一个伟大的家庭帮手，任何家庭主妇谁爱做饭)” 能看出，喜欢烹饪的家庭主妇可能会对介绍搅拌机及其用途、选择的内容感兴趣，所以 B 选项不符合题意。根据“The Most Durable and Reliable Laptop Brand”部分“To find out the brand for all laptop shoppers out there, we’ve taken a look at what Consumer Reports has to say, at surveys of how frequently laptops were reclaimed for repairs, at professional viewpoints, at crowdsourced voting, and much more.( 为了让所有的笔记本电脑消费者都能找到这个品牌，我们查阅了《消费者报告》中的说法、关于笔记本电脑回收维修频率的调查、专业观点、众包投票等)” 可知，笔记本电脑坏了的商人可能会关注这些关于笔记本电脑品牌的信息，所以 C 选项不符合题意。文章中主要围绕耐用的笔记本电脑品牌、搅拌机以及适合大学生的平板电脑展开介绍，没有关于如何修理电脑的内容，所以 “一个想学习如何修理电脑的老师” 对文章内容不感兴趣，D 选项符合题意。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章中“Click to know the list of durable laptops on Amazon: check the features and prices.(点击了解亚马逊上的耐用笔记本电脑列表：查看功能和价格)” 以及 “Those still attempting to weigh the benefits need to begin by reading College Students Should Consider Tablets Instead of Laptops.(那些还在权衡利弊的人，需要从阅读《大学生应该考虑平板电脑而不是笔记本电脑》开始)” 等内容可知，文章中有引导读者点击链接获取更多信息的表述，由此可推知，本文可能来自一个旨在帮助人们了解广阔科技世界的网站。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据The Most Durable and Reliable Laptop Brand部分“It’s not surprising that these reports didn’t necessarily agree with one another—in reality, some produced completely different results.(这些报告不一定相互一致，这并不奇怪 —— 实际上，有些报告产生了完全不同的结果)”可知，关于顾客对笔记本电脑反馈的报告可能会导致不同的结果，故选A。 Passage 2 (24-25高一下·上海育才中学·期中)EXPERT WORKSHOPS Each hour-long workshop runs twice; participate in any two of three.

We’ll follow the journey of a typical T-shirt around the world as it is produced and sold. During the journey we’ll travel across more than 20,000 miles over four continents, meeting the people that make the clothes we wear. Then, in teams you’ll create competing T-shirt companies and go through every stage of the process, from coming up with a design to assembling mock T-shirts in a simulated garment factory.(通过你每天穿的一件物品——T恤衫，来探索全球经济。我们将跟随一件普通T恤衫在全球的旅程，见证它是如何被生产和销售的。在这段旅程中，我们将跨越四大洲、行程超过20,000英里，去认识那些为我们制作衣物的人们。随后，你们将分组创建各自的模拟T恤公司，亲历整个生产流程中的每一个环节，从设计到在模拟服装工厂中组装样衣。)”可知，在 Ballroom A的研讨会主要是通过T恤这个视角来探索全球经济，让参与者跟随一件普通T恤在全球生产和销售的旅程，然后分组创建相互竞争的T恤公司，经历从设计到在模拟服装厂组装假T恤的每一个过程，由此可知，该研讨会的目的是帮助参与者通过T恤来研究全球经济。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据Do Something.org部分中的“April Wright, Director, International Programs ; Janice Tsai, International Associate; (Ballroom B)( April Wright，国际项目总监；Janice Tsai，国际事务专员；他们所在的地点是Ballroom B（B宴会厅）。)”可知， April Wright和Janice Tsai将主持本次研讨会，所以A选项正确；根据“This session will expose the myth that being a social changemaker makes you a self - important achiever.(本场研讨会将揭示一个谬论：成为一名社会变革者会让你成为一个自以为是的成功者)”可知，该研讨会是要揭露“成为社会变革者会让你成为一个自以为是的成功者”这个谬论，而不是揭露社会变革者的神话，B选项错误；根据“We’ll share real examples of young people across the globe that are making a difference — big and small — in their communities.(我们将分享来自世界各地的年轻人在他们的社区中带来大大小小改变的真实案例)”可知，C选项和D选项描述的内容正确，本题要求选择不正确的选项。故选 B 项。 3．词句猜测题。根据EdenWorks部分中的 “Aquaponics responds to the growing need for sustainable methods of food production by taking two practices, pairing the production of fish and plants together and connecting them through an eco - system to create environmental efficiency(Aquaponics通过结合两种生产方式——将鱼类和植物的生产配对，并通过生态系统将它们连接起来，从而提高环境效率，以应对人们对可持续粮食生产方法日益增长的需求。)”可知，Aquaponics是一种将鱼类养殖和植物种植结合在一起，并通过生态系统将它们连接起来以提高环境效率的食物生产方式，是一种用于食物生产的生态系统。故选C项。 Passage 3 (24-25高一下·上海市西中学·期中) AAVE Camp Camp Address: 2308 Fossil Trace, Colorado 80401, USA (800) 2223-3595 Since 2016, AAVE Camp has been about adventure travel, leadership and learning.

Although the museum is self-guided, it’s a good idea for chaperones to stay with their students — teachers and chaperone involvement can greatly improve the students’ experiences, and having chaperones nearby makes it easier to keep an eye on the students they’re responsible for. Download our chaperone tips in English, Spanish, or Chinese below. On Arrival When you arrive, please check in with an orange-vested explainer. Your field trip will begin with the orange-vested explainer who will welcome your students, answer questions, and cover some key details. The explainer won’t stay with you throughout your visit, but explainers are available around the museum. Just look for the people in orange vests; they’re happy to talk to you. Then they will help you explore one exhibit as a group — this is for teachers and chaperones, too, so enjoy it! 1．What is the minimum number of adults required to accompany 40 children on the trip? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Ten. 2．What can we learn about the Exploratorium field trips? A．Not all trips need to be booked in advance. B．The trips offer free admission for all schools. C．Chaperones need to speak at least three languages. D．The explainer accompanies the group throughout. 3．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．A school poster. B．A travel journal. C．A health magazine. D．An education website. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了“探索博物馆”实地考察旅行的一些相关信息。 1．细节理解题。根据Chaperones部分中的“We require at least one chaperone for every ten youths or children in your group.(我们要求每10个青少年或儿童中至少有一个监护人。)”可知，每10个青少年或儿童至少需要有一个监护人陪伴，由此可知，40个孩子需要至少4个成人的陪伴。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据When to Come部分中的“Field trip days are Tuesdays through Fridays, starting at 10:00 am. If you’re planning to arrive outside of field trip hours, please make a group reservation by calling 415-528-4444 and click Option 5 for reservations.(实地考察日是周二到周五，从上午10点开始。如果您计划在实地考察时间之外到达，请致电415.528.4444进行团体预订，并单击Option 5进行预约。)”可知，如果你计划在Exploratorium field trip的正常团体参观时间之外到达，你需要通过电话提前预约，也就是说不是所有的实地考察旅行都需要提前预订。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据Chaperones部分中的“Download our chaperone tips in English, Spanish, or Chinese below.(下载我们的英语、西班牙语或中文陪护技巧。)”可知，本文最可能来自一家网站，结合第一段中的“Whether you’re ready to jump in or need to plant a seed with your colleagues, we’re here to help you take the next step for an unforgettable visit with your students.(无论您是准备立即行动还是需要与同事一起先种下想法的种子，我们都准备好帮助您和学生共同迈出下一步，度过一个难忘的访问之旅。)”可知，本文主要是针对老师写的，所以本文应该是来自一家教育网站。故选D。 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·上海交通大学附属中学嘉定分校·期中)Cruise on the brand-new D’Virgos!

Her most recent album Hog Wild!, for example, features Samuel L. Jackson as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She talked in an interview about how to tap into kids’ imaginations and how to make scary things less threatening for them. In your years of writing and illustrating children’s books, have you noticed anything that really sparks a child’s imagination? I think maybe there’s no basic difference between what fascinates a child and what fascinates the rest of us. We’re all drawn to things that wake us up, things that grab our attention through our hearing or our sight or our sense of touch. We’re curious about the world as it is, and we’re curious about what could be. Imagination follows curiosity pretty naturally. It doesn’t feel to me like it’s been a long time that I’ve been drawing and writing things. It doesn’t feel like a short time, either. It just feels like what I do. I make things. I’m a permanent kindergartner, I guess. You often take a threatening figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a monster and make him cute. Do you have any suggestions for how to make children less afraid of things? Actually, I think kids kind of like being afraid of things, as long as someone calm is right there with reassurance. Hugging helps. What have you learned about childhood from writing kids’ books? Accessing childhood has actually never been that hard. It’s adulthood that’s still perplexing. I would guess that most children’s book writers are that way. I’m really writing books and making music for my own child-self. But I’m certainly delighted and grateful that my books work for people other than just me. It keeps me from having to find an actual job. A lot of authors are worried that children spend too much time on digital devices rather than with books, but you seem to have embraced it. Why? When the interactive book app universe was new, I was, as a creator of things, curious. My background is theater, and I thought it could be interesting to try to figure out how to create content that’s both theater-like and book-like. I found a superb partner in this, the insanely ingenious Loud Crow Interactive in Vancouver. We worked intensively together for a couple of years and made five very cool apps. I’m proud of them. But now, having too often seen very young kids sitting idly, staring at screens, I have my doubts. 1．When writing children’s books, Sandra ________. A．finds herself confused about remembering childhood B．puts herself in a child’s place and thinks like a child C．agrees with other book writers that writing is hard D．is delighted that she doesn’t need to find another job 2．Sandra thinks the apps she made with her partner were cool because they were ________. A．new ways to increase interactions between users B．interactive by combining theatre and book C．beneficial with the content both theatre-like and book-like D．created by an insanely ingenious expert and friend 3．We can conclude from the interview that ________. A．there were no interactive book apps before Sandra’s apps B．kids are always calm instead of being afraid of things C．digital devices have been embraced by most of the authors D．Sandra is good at making a threatening figure cute 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文，是对Sandra Boynton的采访报道，她在这次采访中谈到了如何激发孩子们的想象力，以及如何让可怕的事情对他们的威胁降低。 1．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It’s adulthood that’s still perplexing. I would guess that most children’s book writers are that way. I’m really writing books and making music for my own child-self.(成年仍然令人困惑。我想大多数儿童作家都是这样的。我真的是在为我自己的孩子写书和做音乐。)”可知，在写儿童读物时，Sandra设身处地为孩子着想，像孩子一样思考。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I thought it could be interesting to try to figure out how to create content that’s both theater-like and book-like. I found a superb partner in this, the insanely ingenious Loud Crow Interactive in Vancouver.(我认为尝试着创造出既像戏剧又像书本的内容是一件很有趣的事情。在这方面，我找到了一个极好的合作伙伴，那就是温哥华的Loud Crow Interactive公司。)”可知，Sandra认为她和她的伙伴制作的应用程序很酷，因为它们是通过戏剧和书籍的结合进行互动。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“You often take a threatening figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a monster and make him cute.(你经常把像霸王龙或怪物这样具有威胁性的人物塑造得很可爱。)”可知，Sandra很善于把有威胁性的人物可爱化，故选D。 Passage 6 (24-25高一下·上海桃浦中学·期中)Below is a web page from http://www.parents.com./Kid of the Year Photo Contest Enter your kid's photo today and win!

Her most recent album Hog Wild!, for example, features Samuel L. Jackson as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She talked in an interview about how to tap into kids’ imaginations and how to make scary things less threatening for them. In your years of writing and illustrating children’s books, have you noticed anything that really sparks a child’s imagination? I think maybe there’s no basic difference between what fascinates a child and what fascinates the rest of us. We’re all drawn to things that wake us up, things that grab our attention through our hearing or our sight or our sense of touch. We’re curious about the world as it is, and we’re curious about what could be. Imagination follows curiosity pretty naturally. It doesn’t feel to me like it’s been a long time that I’ve been drawing and writing things. It doesn’t feel like a short time, either. It just feels like what I do. I make things. I’m a permanent kindergartner, I guess. You often take a threatening figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a monster and make him cute. Do you have any suggestions for how to make children less afraid of things? Actually, I think kids kind of like being afraid of things, as long as someone calm is right there with reassurance. Hugging helps. What have you learned about childhood from writing kids’ books? Accessing childhood has actually never been that hard. It’s adulthood that’s still perplexing. I would guess that most children’s book writers are that way. I’m really writing books and making music for my own child-self. But I’m certainly delighted and grateful that my books work for people other than just me. It keeps me from having to find an actual job. A lot of authors are worried that children spend too much time on digital devices rather than with books, but you seem to have embraced it. Why? When the interactive book app universe was new, I was, as a creator of things, curious. My background is theater, and I thought it could be interesting to try to figure out how to create content that’s both theater-like and book-like. I found a superb partner in this, the insanely ingenious Loud Crow Interactive in Vancouver. We worked intensively together for a couple of years and made five very cool apps. I’m proud of them. But now, having too often seen very young kids sitting idly, staring at screens, I have my doubts. 1．When writing children’s books, Sandra ________. A．finds herself confused about remembering childhood B．puts herself in a child’s place and thinks like a child C．agrees with other book writers that writing is hard D．is delighted that she doesn’t need to find another job 2．Sandra thinks the apps she made with her partner were cool because they were ________. A．new ways to increase interactions between users B．interactive by combining theatre and book C．beneficial with the content both theatre-like and book-like D．created by an insanely ingenious expert and friend 3．We can conclude from the interview that ________. A．there were no interactive book apps before Sandra’s apps B．kids are always calm instead of being afraid of things C．digital devices have been embraced by most of the authors D．Sandra is good at making a threatening figure cute Passage 6 (24-25高一下·上海桃浦中学·期中)Below is a web page from http://www.parents.com./Kid of the Year Photo Contest Enter your kid's photo today and win!
