He and his dad Steven, and his 4-year-old sister, Abigail, were out for a family boating trip on Florida's St. Johns River near Mandarin Point. Chase and Abigail were swimming at the back end of the anchored boat while Steven was on deck (中板)fishing.It was an idyllic (平和美丽的)outing until a strong wave came. It was too strong for Abigail to hold onto the boat. Instantly realizing his sister would be swept away, Chase let go of the boat as well to try to reach her.Steven jumped into the water but after realizing he couldn't keep up with both kids, he was faced with a hard decision. "I told them I loved them because I wasn't sure what was going to happen, “ Steven told News-4 J AX. “I tried to stick with both of them. I wore myself out. She drifted away from me.”Directing Chase to swim to shore for help, Steven stayed behind, keeping as close as he could to Abigail as the life vest that was keeping her above the waves floating further and further from his reach.It was a tough go for the 7-year-old, but rather than attempting to swim all out, Chase wisely paced himself. Stopping to float or dog paddle when he was tired, he had a rest and then set off again. It took Chase an hour to reach the shore.

"Through the fossils that ancient forests left behind, scientists can track their movement over thousands of years. They move back and forth across continents, sometimes following the same route more than once, like migrating birds or whales."This has happened over thousands of years, and climate change tends to be the driving force.Of course, today, climate change is speeding up, and trees can't keep pace. Take California for example: It's getting hotter and drier and scientists estimate that before too long, Sequoia National Park may not be able to keep giant sequoias (巨杉).“The scientists there had never seen anything like it, " St. George says. "They worried, and I think at some point we will lose these ancient trees and that we will have to think about what we do with the places, and whether we should plant new groves where they are easy to grow.This is known as "assisted migration“ 一 humans planting trees in other places where they're more likely to flourish. But this process carries risks 一 people can accidentally introduce insects and diseases to new places, where they may wipe out entire native populations. So, St. George writes, there's a debate among conservationists and foresters today: Should humans help the trees escape?“There may be cases where people are probably going to step in and help species move to places where they'll be more suitable in the future, " St. George says. “So far, there are no huge movements of citizen groups moving trees north. But that is kind of one vision of the future that the people I interview sort of hope to see.”5. . What can be learned about the migration of a forest?A. It is mainly the result of climate change.B , It often follows certain migrating species.C. It takes thousands of years to complete it.D. It is very difficult to track the migration.6. Why does the author mention Sequoia National Park?A. To stress the park is facing a severe situation.B - To show trees fail to adapt to the climate change.C. To prove the assisted migration carries risks.D. To state scientists are hopeful about the environment.7. What does the underlined word “flourish” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Become valuable.B. Develop rapidly.C. Grow well.D. Escape diseases.8. What*s St. George's attitude towards helping the trees escape?A. Skeptical.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Disapproving.H.七选五2022南昌市高三摸底测试卷When you're giving a speech, there isn't a one-stop-shop approach that will address every individual. Audiences, large or small, have different requirements when receiving and digesting information. 1The first action point is adapting your speech based on your audience size. Larger audiences often have little audience participation, so you need to ensure that your speech fills the time. 2, so your tone and body language are more important than ever. For smaller audiences, they often have more opportunities to be conversational. This means you'll need to prepare enough materials to fill the time if needed but allow for questions or comments throughout.3 . People learn and take in information in many different ways. As a general rule, there are 4 different ways: visual, auditory (听觉的),reading and writing, and kinaesthetic (动觉的).Including each learning style in your speech will help to attract more audiences. 4 ; use sound effects for auditory learners; give reading and writing learners something that they can add notes on; design interactive parts for kinaesthetic learners. They all assist in connecting with different audiences.No matter how much you adapt your content for your listeners, you may find yourself losing audience attention during your speech. 5 . Take the time to observe and judge what they are enjoying and connecting with and what they are not. Adjust your approach to catch their attention again while being mindful not to go off the subject.A. They may yawn or be on their phoneB. Offer visual learners slides and imagesC. It's also much harder to attain larger audiences* attentionD. Make sure whether your audiences are experts or beginnersE. A speech may also need to be presented to different groupsF. So speakers have to adapt to ensure they connect with their listenersG. The second barrier to be overcome is that you have different types of audiences限时提分练(四)I .阅读理解A语篇类型:记叙文 主题语境:人与社会出游经历奇迹般的营救【语篇解读】 父亲带着儿子和女儿,一家三口去划船旅行。当儿子和女儿正游泳时突然巨浪袭来, 冲散了三人。因不能同时救两个孩子,父亲面临着一个艰难的抉择,他告诉孩子们他是爱他们的,因为他 不确定将会发生什么。女儿在水中漂远了,父亲一边指导儿子游向岸边求助,一边去尽力营救女儿。儿子 为保存体力,边游边歇息,最终游上了岸,寻到了救援,救援人员在离被他们抛弃的船一英里多外的地方 救了父亲和妹妹。1 .答案与解析:D 考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第二段中的“It was too strongbe sw叩t way”及第 三段中的"She drifted away from me”可知,Abigail被水浪冲走了。故D项正确。2 .答案与解析:A 考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第三段首句可知,父亲不能同时顾住两个孩子, 所以面临着先救谁的艰难抉择。故A项正确。3 .答案与解析:B考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第四段可知,事故发生后父亲指导着儿子游到岸 边去寻求帮助。故B项正确。4 .答案与解析:A 考查推断的能力。根据第二段尾句可知,事故发生后Chase努力去救妹妹,这说 明他很勇敢;再结合第五段中的“Chase wisely paced himself.set off again”可知,儿子边保存体力边游向岸边, 这说明他很聪明。故A项正确。B语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与自然自然现象森林迁徙【语篇解读】我们都熟悉动物迁徙,但是你知道森林也会迁徙吗?科学作家Zach St. George探索了一种极其缓慢的迁徙,即森林缓慢地蔓延到更舒适的地方。无论是动物的迁徙还是森林的迁徙,主要都是 气候变化引起的。人们有可能会介入植物的迁徙过程,协助植物迁徙,但这种协助性迁徙有利也有弊,所 以存在争论。5 .答案与解析:A 考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第三段尾句可知,气候变化往往是森林迁徙的驱 动力。故A项正确。6 .答案与解析:B考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第四段内容可知,气候变化在加速,而树木无法 跟上其变化的速度,因此巨杉树无法在Sequoia National Park生存。由此可知,提及该公园是为了说明树不 能适应气候变化。故B项正确。7 .答案与解析:C 考查理解词汇的能力。根据第六段中的“humans planting trees in other places”可知, 人类把树木移植到能够使它们茁壮生长的地方。故C项正确。8 .答案与解析:C 考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第六段中的“there's a debate among conservationists and foresters today: Should humans help the trees escape? ”可知,St.George 认为人类是否应该帮助树木迁徙, 还存在争论。由此可知,他对人类帮助树木迁徙的态度是客观的。故C项正确。H.七选五语篇类型:应用文 主题语境:人与自我生活与学习演讲中如何留住观众的注意力【语篇解读】演讲中没有万全的方法可以留住观众的注意力。本文从三个角度讲述演讲中如何做才能留住观众的注意力。1 .答案与解析:F考查上下文衔接。空前讲述观众不管是多还是少,都有不同的要求,故此空应总 结演讲者该如何做。F项“所以演讲者必须调整,以确保和倾听者建立良好关系“符合语境。应选F项。2 .答案与解析:C考查上下文衔接。本段讲述根据观众规模作出调整。空前讲述规模大的观众参与 性小,所以你要确保你的演讲内容占满所有时间;空后讲述你的语调和身体语言很重要。C项“得到大规 模观众的注意更难”,承上启下,符合语境。这两句都讲述了面对大规模的观众,演讲者该如何应对。故 选C项。3 .答案与解析:G 考查段落主旨句。本段讲述根据观众类型作出调整。结合第二段首句可知,本段 首句应选G项“要克服的第二个障碍就是你会有不同类型的观众”。4 .答案与解析:B 考查上下文衔接。根据上文中的“there are 4 different ways: visual, auditory (听觉 的),reading and writing, and kinaesthetic (动觉的)”和空后的内容可知,此处应是针对视觉学习者你应采取的 具体措施。故B项“为视觉学习者提供幻灯片和图像”符合语境。应选B项。5 .答案与解析:A考查上下文衔接。空前讲述,演讲过程中你可能会发现自己正失去观众的注意力。 A项“他们可能会打哈欠或者在打 ”符合语境。应选A项。
