Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be abs

Also, apparently, we mustnt read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences.However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that were not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see
101、 beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our
102、 personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world.

If so, there is a reason to believe that antioxidantsincluding betacarotene, vitamins A, C, and Ecould be useful as preventive medicines.But when the Task Force examined the

135、小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换，使该选项看似正确，实际上却是错误选项。2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情。3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论，而文中并未涉及。4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。BAll her life, my mother wanted busy children.

147、C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies. Neither philosopher
148、lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates
149、 was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service. Confucius su
150、ggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you. He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual,
151、and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes. For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with fami

155、 C 11.

156、10题详解】根据文章第三段中“.and that it was knowledge that set men apart.”可以判断。【11题详解】文章的谋篇布局主要是以比较和对照来阐述两位伟大哲学家孔子与苏格拉底的哲学思想对社会的影响以及思想观点的相似与不同的。故B项正确。DMost rain forests lie close to the equator(赤道),where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine.The warmth of the land heats the air above,ca

201、her than most brothers and sisters - after all, they probably spend more time with each other. Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating: they invent their own words and one can often finish the others sentence. In exceptional(例外) circumstances(情况), this closeness
202、 becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language of their own, as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA, who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school.However, these special rel
203、ationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each others company. What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special similarities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard of
204、the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. He traced(追踪) sixteen pairs of twins, who were adopted by different families when they were babies, and often brought up in very different circumstances. Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.The
205、 results of this research make a surprising reading. Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies, many have suffered the same illnesses, and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives. One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in simil
206、ar dresses, another pair were wearing similar jewellery. The most incredible (unbelievable) similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA. The story of the Jim Twins made headline news across USA. Born to an immigrant woman in 1939, and adopted by differ
207、ent families at birth, both babies were named Jim by their new parents.But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities? Is it all pure coincidence, or is the explanation in some way genetic? Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities ma
208、y be at least partly due to nature. On the other hand, analysts are also anxious to emphasis(强调) that incredible coincidences do happen all the time, not just in the lives of twins.12. The case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy (Para. 1) is to show that _.A. twins communicate with each other in an unusu
209、al way.B. twins are more likely to suffer from speaking problems.C. most twins have exceptional abilities to invent a new language.D twins wont have an effective communication until they go to school.13. The purpose of Tom Bouchards study is to find _.A. what will happen if twins spend lives entirel
210、y in the same company.B. why the 16 pairs of twins have been adopted by different families.C. whether separated growing up has effect on twins special similarities.D. when the special similarities come into being during their growing up.14. What does the word “reading” in Paragraph 3 most probably m
211、ean?A. Book.B. Explanation.C. Literature.D. Measurement.15. According to Tom Bouchards research, the special similarities between twins _.A. depend on what the twins enjoy and suffer from.B. can not be proved or accepted by all the experts.C. result from the twins growing up and development.D. are n
212、ot closely linked with where the twins are raised.【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D【解析】本文是说明文。双胞胎之间有许多相似处，甚至他们之间还有特殊的交流方式。研究发现即使分开成长的双胞胎也有许多特殊相似性，这种特殊相似性与他们的成长环境并没有密切的联系。这其中有天性也存在巧合的成分。【12题详解】推理判断题。第一段In exceptional(例外) circumstances(情况), this closeness becomes more extreme: they invent a whole language o
213、f their own.说明了例外情况下，这种亲密关系变得更极端：他们发明了自己的语言。随后就列举了Grace 和 Virginia Kennedy的例子，用来说明上述情况，即双胞胎以一种不同寻常的方式相互交流。故选A。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段What happens when twins do not grow up together, when they are separated at birth for some reason? Are they just like any other strangers, or are there still special simila
214、rities between them? Professor Tom Bouchard of the University of Minnesota set out to find the answer to this question. 当双胞胎不能一起长大，当他们出生时由于某种原因分开，会发生什么?他们是否和其他陌生人一样，或者他们之间还有什么特别的相似之处?可知Tom Bouchard的研究目的是想找出是否分开成长对双胞胎的特殊相似性有影响。故选C。【14题详解】猜测词义题。上文提到Tom Bouchard进行跟踪研究，想找出是否分开成长对双胞胎的特殊相似性有影响。下文是研究结果，即使分
215、开成长的双胞胎也有许多特殊相似性。所以The results of this research make a surprising reading.指这项研究的结果令人惊讶，其中的reading应该和选项中的Explanation意思一致，指研究结果对问题的解释。最后一段But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities?也有提示，故选B。【15题详解】推理判断题。第三段对研究结果的描述：研究发现，许多双胞胎有着相同的爱好，许多人都患有相同的疾病，有些人甚至在生命的同一时刻遭遇了相同类型的事故。一对中年妇女第一次见
216、面时穿着相似的衣服，另一对戴着相似的首饰。甚至被不同家庭收养的双胞胎还有相同的名字。由此可见双胞胎之间的特殊相似性与他们的成长环境并没有密切的联系。故选D。（7）江西省萍乡市莲花中学2020-2021学年高一下学期第二次月考英语试题阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AWashington, D.

252、小适度。醒目性原则：标题是文章的点睛之笔，是文章的灵魂和门面。标题的好坏往往影响文章的可读性。读者往往从标题上决定文章的阅读取舍，故标题往往比较醒目，甚至比较离奇，目的是为了吸引读者的注意力，唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。如第一小题，根据第三段Are scientists sure that there is no life on other planets?可知科学家们确定其他行星上没有生命吗？结合文章主要围绕外太空是否存在生命而展开。故B选项“其他行星上有生命吗？”符合文章标题。故选B。DStudents wishing to safeguard(保护) their careers again

In 2001, when he was 14 ye
274、ars old, there was a terrible drought(干旱) and most families, including Williams, couldnt grow enough food.Because of the drought, Williams family couldnt afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy,
275、 which included instructions for building a windmill(风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didnt know much English, and he wasnt able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought
276、he could build a windmill for his family.When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didnt have the parts a
277、nd equipment that he saw in the books pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb(灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. N
278、o one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.Now he uses his webs

282、 almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the countrys high pollution rate
283、. Indonesia is home to four of the worlds worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for biodegradable containers, s
284、eaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, its easy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemica
285、ls and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after theyre thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, The awareness to reduce single-u
286、se plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.”Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.8What

It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to ideas that have already been around at lea
322、st once before. If you really want to know what the future of fashion is, you need to look at an area that is alwasys looking forward: technology. The meeting point of fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are. For several years now, people have been talking about “wearable t
323、echnology” as the next big development. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watches that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But theres mu

Runners and other sports people already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast theyre running, how hard their bodies are working and so on

And if you think that sound unlikely, just think of all the things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.The main reason that things like this arent in normal shops is that they are
