2022高考英语阅读之七选五模拟训练(A)Its not easy to know how to help our animals, considering they cant talk-and dont always listen. 36 When looking for a new pet, where do you start?Buying pets online is risky because you have no idea about their upbringing or health. Consider adopting from a shelter, as you will be helping pets in need. If you go to a breeder(饲养员), aim to see any animal in person and in the place where they were born, better with their mothers. 37 How can you be sure the pet you pick will be the right fit?You need to spend plenty of time with your pet or he may become lonely or bored and develop problem behaviors such as chewing and barking. 38 Some humans want an energetic dog to take jogging, while others want a lapdog to watch TV with. Take the time to find the right animal for your lifestyle.How can you get him to do what you need him to? 39 So it is necessary to invest time and communicate with him. Contrary to popular belief, you can teach an old dog new tricks, so if you have an older guy, its still worth the effort. But the earlier you start, the more likely you are to achieve results. 40 Elderly dogs are less able to cope with extreme temperatures. Keep them cool on hot days and away from drafts on cold ones. Place pieces of carpet or bedding where your dog rests to help him rise from slippery floors. Make sure to check claws, which may not wear down sufficiently with reduced activity.A. Energy level is also important.B. A dogs intelligence can be increased through education and training.C. Here we share how to choose pets and keep them happy and healthy.D. How can you help your pets live better as they age?E.

So is it possible for us to get along well with our pets?(B)When I was teaching, we talked a lot about high vs. low-stakes ( 风 险 ) writing. Recently, Ive been thinking about friendships the same way high and low-stakes friendships. Since the stakes might be different for men and women, I will limit this discussion to womens friendships with men and women. 36 Friendships are high stakes when they are intimate ( 亲 密 的 ). 37 We also depend on the otherperson for support in difficult times; advice in times of conflict; and sympathy in times of regret. We feel “known” by them. The loss of a high-stakes friend is painful; it has a noticeable impact on our lives.Low-stakes friendships, on the other hand, are more casual and limited emotionally. We may play bridge or tennis together; go out for dinner with our partners. 38 We dont share any feelings or experiences that would make us feel emotionally fragile and we do not talk about feelings toward each other. The loss of a low-stakes friend may be regrettable, but it does not leave any mark in our lives.According to Professor Harry Stack Sullivan, the first high-stakes friendship is typically formed in pre-adolescence with a friend of the same sex, a “chum” ( 密 友 ). Chumship is a relationship in which the other persons interest and security become as important as ones own. 39 The preadolescent who successfully enters a chumship finds someone with whom she can share her innermost thoughts and feelings. To her chum, she can reveal what she feels to be the most terrible things about herself in an atmosphere of acceptance. Successful chumships offer an opportunity to work through disagreements and learn to compromise. 40 A. But we do not feel “known”.B. What do I mean by high and low-stakes friendships?C. The formation of chumship is crucial to personality growth.D. It is a developmental stage that lays the groundwork for later relationships.E. We share feelings about important aspects of our lives and about each other.F. An end to the friendship would have a dramatic impact on our sense of well-being.G. Chumships occur during preadolescence (10-12), but they can continue much longer than that.(C)Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls, sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders' main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport.16 A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors, is a physical activity or competition against an opponent, governed by rules and conditions, and the primary purpose of competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants.17 .Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. The “fliers" are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. And just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. 18 And the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.19 Just like gymnasts, competitive cheerleaders are awarded points for difficulty, technique, and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport, so without cooperation, the first place is out of reach.Some people argue cheerleaders are just “girls in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd. 20 Cheerleaders today compete against other teams and work as hard as other athletes. Cheerleading even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.A. Cheerleaders must learn to perform in public.B. Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best.C. Cheerleading follows these guidelines, so it is a sport.D. However, competitive cheerleading is a sport.E. Cheerleading is recognized as a sport by many schools.F. The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds.G. Actually, cheerleading has become as well-known a sport as football and basketball.(D)As the world seeks to slow the pace of climate change and preserve wildlife, trees undoubtedly hold a major part of the answer. Yet the mass destruction of trees-deforestation-continues, sacrificing (牺牲)the long-term benefits of standing trees for short-term gain.16 Since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been logged. About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years, and losses recently have been on the rise.So, what are the factors leading to deforestation? Farming, animal raising, mining, and drilling combined account for more than half of all deforestation. 17 Plus logging operations, which provide the world? s wood and paper products, cut down countless trees each year. Some loggers acting illegally even build roads to access more and more remote forests-which leads to further deforestation.18 Some 250 million people living in forests depend on them for survival and incomemany of them among the world's rural poor. Eighty percent of Earth's land animals live in forests and deforestation threatens many species. 19 The South American rainforest, for example, influences regional and perhaps even global water cycles, which is key to the water supply in Brazilian cities and neighboring countries.Luckily, a movement is under way to preserve existing forest ecosystems and restore lost tree cover. Organizations and activists are working to fight illegal mining and logging. As consumers, it makes sense to look for sustainably produced sources. 20 .A. Yet the effects of deforestation reach much farther.B. Globally, forests are disappearing at an alarming rate.C. Wildfires and urbanization also account for a small part,D. Deforestation affects people and animals and even the wider world.E. With these joint efforts, many conservationists see reasons for hope.F.

Some deforestation is caused by a combination of human and natural factors.(E)How to Simplify Your Home Cleaning RoutineThere are many ways to clean a house, but the best methods are those that save time and effort, while avoiding poisonous cleaning chemicals. 16 Armed with these, youll soon be looking for reasons to clean.Keep stuff dryWetness is the enemy when it comes to keeping bathrooms and kitchens clean because it attracts bacteria. Leave the shower door or curtain open when not in use to allow for airflow. 17 If you have dirty rags or dish cloths, hang them to dry between laundry loads. 18 You know how you move your face around in a mirror, using different angles to get a clear look? The same logic applies to cleaning. Use a flashing to shine on surfaces, floors, and corners in order to spot dust and dirt you might have missed.Put tools everywhereA subtle yet effective trick: If there are cleaning brushes, rags, and solutions in every room or at least on every floor of the house, youll tend to jump into a job when it needs to be done. 19 Never skip these two tasksIf you make your bed every morning, youll start the day with a small sense of accomplishment and end it with a sense of satisfaction. 20 Melissa Maker, owner of Toronto-based company Clean My Space, describes it as “the bed of the kitchen”.A. Light the dirtB. Purchase a flashlightC. The same goes for the kitchen sink.D. Always run a fan or open a window when showering to let out steam.E. Here are some simple tricks that will make the task easier and healthier.F. With the proper tricks up your sleeve, youll always feel ready for the job.G. If you have to climb a flight of stairs to get the right tools, you may just ignore it.(F)Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. 16 Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have leftthe eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. 17 Eye contact consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. 18 When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Dont forget the impact of your voice. 19 Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity. 20 As long as you adopted proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered. A. It may be easier said than done.B. Its not just what you say, but its how you say it.C. Become aware of your own body language, too.D. Social distance doesnt have to mean socially distant. E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send.F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide.(G)Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits.Sure,it is nice to have the additional help with chores(家庭杂务),but it also fosters so much growth,sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become.It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming.1 Through caring for farm animals,kids learn that in life others often come before self.2 It doesnt matter if we dont feel like it or if we are sick and tired.What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner. 3 If the work on a farm does not get done,the operation fails.It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day,and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude.They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive.4 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life. Additionally,farming teaches patience.5 Cattle will be difficult to control.Horses will run away when you try to catch them.Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk.A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money.In spite of all that,kids will learn to be patient and take things easy. There may not be any instant reward,but in the long term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.A.At the same time,they learn to work with others.B.Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.C.Children learn to be grateful to animals for eating purpose.D.Teamwork is no longer an important skill to develop and use.E.There are going to be a lot of days when things do not go your way.F.However,what they learn on a farm can also be instrumental in their future lives.G.Animals need to be fed,watered,and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.参考答案:A:CEABDB:BEACDC:DCFBGD:BCDAEE:EDAGCF:FACBDG:FGABE11
