Before I could read on my own,my mother introduced me to the beauty and power of language through this story about a girl and her mother spending time in nature with a mother bear and her cub.The combination of the interesting story,beautiful language,and my mother's preserce created a special experience that happened many times.These read-alcud sessions played a key role in making ire a reader. Years later,while rcading a picture book to a young student in class,I saw how reading aloud could also irapact others.The boy had faced many challenges in his life-growing up in poverty and often feeling lonely.However,during that shared reading moment,he felt such happiness that he came up with a meaningful idea. He said,"Mrs.Allyn,we should make sure everyone knows how wonderful this feels.Let's create a special day for reading aloud"Inspired by his suggestion,my organization,LitWorld, established World Read Aloud Day in 2024 as a people-powered movement to make his wish come true-that everyone could experience the joy of being read to.Since then,World Read Aloud Day has become a global event that reaches over one million people in more than 65 countries.Today,it is celebrated in over 600 cities,and this number keeps growing. Children who develop reading habits become active and informed global citizens.Every child deserves the right to read.While saying that reading aloud can change the world might 第6页/共12页 练习1 sound simple,that's actually what makes it so valuable.Sharing stories with children is straightforward,affordable,and easy to do,yet its impact can be enormous. 46.How did the author probably fcel whon her mother read Blueberries for Sal to her? A.Bored. B.Scared. C.Calm. D.Thrilled. 47.What challenges did the boy have in his lifo when the author read a picture book to him? A.Growing up in a rich family and fecling lonely. B.Growing up in poverty and often feeling loncly. C.Growing up in poverty but feeling happy all the timo. D.Growing up in a rich family and having many friends. 48.What does the word"sessions"in paragraph 2 most closely mean? A Contests. B.Gatherings. C Rejections. D.Footsteps. 49.What is the author's opinion about reading aloud? A.It's a complicated activity B.It can have a huge positive influence. C.It's only beneficial to chiidren in rich countries. D.It's ditficult to popularize globally. 50.Which title best sums up the passage? A.From a Childhood Memory to a Global Festival B.The Benefits of Reading Aloud to Kids C.A Poor Student's Dream of Reading D.Haw LitWorld Changed the World of Reading C Scientists have conducted a six-year study,proving that plants produce a noise in certain stressful situations.The plants make a high frequency clicking sound which cannot be heard by humans,and when they are lacking water,or being damaged,the clicks become far more regular. The plants could make various sounds,depending on whether they are thirsty or injured. For the scientists'research,some plants were placed in a soundproof box and recorded by two microphones.Some plants were badly in need of water,others were cut,and a control group was left undamaged.The researchers used AI technology to separate the noises.Being able to 第7页/共12页 练习1 identify the particular calls of the plants up to 3-5 metres away,the technology successfully discriminated between the sounds made depending on whether the plants were dry or cut. While farming has become a science itself,there're still a lot of estimates involved.If farmers were able to receive accurate information directly from their crops,they could adopt a much more efficient method of care and also be able to better identify and control diseases in a crop.All this can be achieved by using microphones and sensors to translate this new information. On average,the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20 kHz,whereas the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80 kHz region,far beyond our hearing capabilities.However,the sounds produced by plants can probably be heard by various animals.Though this has yet to be proven, these creatures may use this information for their benefit,choosing which plants to eat,for example. Furthermore,a study in 2014,led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural.University in Beijing,proved that plants reacted to sound waves,with some plants significantly increasing theic yield.While it's still unknown if one plant could react to another's noises,it seems likely.Indeed, the same research facility is now ready to test this assumption. 51.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "discriminated"in Paragraph 2? A.Balanced. B.Compared. C.Distinguished. D.Captured. 52.What benefit may farmers get from this research? A.Managing their crops purposefully and effectively. B.Protecting their crops against diseases directly. C.Adding to the variety of crops to some extent.D.Saving their time on farming significantly 53.What is now sure about the sounds produced by plants according to the researchers? A.They improve the crop production. B.They go beyond humans'hearing range. C.They assist animals in searching for food D.They help plants communicate with each other. 54.What may future research focus on? 第8页/共12页 练习1 A.Whether plants can react to each other's sounds. B.Whether creatures can react to sound waves. C.How to judge the types of plants by sound.D.How plants communicate with another's noises. 55.The writer wrote the passage to tell us A.plants may help increase yield in farming by sound B.plants can communicate like humans by various sounds C.plants repeat the identical sound in the face of danger D.plants can produce diverse sounds in difficult situations D A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem First,employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees.To make this possible,a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose.But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to retum the responsibility to the individual.This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition,the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly.This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions.Furthermore,some institution should be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unfortunately,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a truly yiable answer. 第9页/共12页 练习1 The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly,particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the clderly where they are independent. To sum up,all these options have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations. 56.What is the passage mainly about? A.The problems faced by the old in society.B.Why we should take responsibility for the old. C.How we can improve the lives of the old.D.Where the old can go to get their pensions. 57.According to the passage,how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people? A.Set aside 3ome profits to help people with problems after they retire. B.Incrcase savings levels of people during their working years. C.Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old. D.Make available pensions for those who have retired. 58.The underlined word"viable"most probably means" A.impossible B.practical C.useful D.successful 59.What can be concluded from the passage? A.Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money B.Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age. C.Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people. D.There is no single solution to the problems of the old. 60.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this article? A.To point out the need for goverment supped for old people. 第10页/共12页 练习1 B.To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people. C.To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem. D.To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life. B Most of us assumc that warmth is what leads to gencrosity,rather than the other way around. It's an intuitive order of events:we like pcople first and then choose to help them.However, according to research from the Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences,the opposite can also be just as true.Interestingly,this is what's known as the "Ben Franklin effect".After doing someone a favor,you begin to like them more,despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand. In terms of the Ben Franklin effect,this means that if you help someone,your brain is likely to try and reason:"Well,I wouldn't go out of my way for someone I dislike,so I must like them." Psychologists identified that the coguitive mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was,in fact,cognitive dissonance ()In simple terms,cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs.In turn,our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on. The concept gained significant scientific recognition after renowned researchers Jon Jecker and David Landy's classic 1969 experiment,published in the joural Human Relations. Specifically,participants within the study who had done a favor for the experimenter rated the experimenter as much more likable than those who had received a favor or had no interaction at all With this study,Jecker and Landy were able to provide proof for the effect.This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse ()In other words,when we act generously,we unconsciously convince ourselves that we must care for the recipient in some way or another. 第11页/共12页 练习1 The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone.This has profound'meanings for romantic relationships,friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds.Offering a small favor to someone you feel slightly distant from can be a gcntle yet effective way to reopen the connection.However,the inverse is also true:if you never put in effort,your pride will only create emotional distance. 61.Which of the following agrees with the Ben Franklin effect? A.Warm relations lead to generosity. B.Generous behavior wins popularity. C.Good deeds deserve greater rewards. D.Acts of kindness establish closer ties. 62.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A.The motive for helping the people we dislike.B.The underlying logic of reducing discomfort. C.The psychological process behind the effect.D.The method of managing cognitive dissonance. 63.Jecker and Landy's experiment seems to tell us that A.experimenters rate helpful participants higher B.emotions heal scars more effectively than actions C.behavior is a contributor to the formation of ideas D.people prefer to care for the recipient before donation 64.What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A.Potential implications of the effect. B.Supporting evidence for the effect. C.The further interpretation of the effect. D.The negativity of the inverse of the effect. 65.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Cognitive Dissonance:A Hidden Social Threat B.The Ben Franklin Effect:Actions Shape Our Feelings C.Cognitive Dissonance:The Root of Social Attitude Shifts D.The Ben Franklin Effect:Feelings Guide Our Kind Acts 第12页/共12页 英语和平耀华中学26秋高二开学考答案 L 天津市耀华中学高二年级英语试卷练习一 答案 1.单项选择（共20小题；每小题1分；满分20分） 1-5 DBADB 6-10 CDDAB 11-15 DADBC 16-20 ADACB .完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分) 21-25 DABCC 26-30 BADCB 31-35 DDABB 36-40 ADACC 川.阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分；满分50分） 41-45 BCABD 46-50 DBBBA 51-55 CABAD 56-60 CDBDC 61-65 DCCAB
