浙江省高二年级第二学期期中易错回顾-任务型阅读七选五【语篇1】The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety. But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors? You're about to find out.Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go-bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night.【小题1】It has been that way ever since.【小题2】That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused(分散)less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance.It's not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood. 【小题3】 Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away-a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.A.Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.B.It could be a mix of all three!D.Employ these driving rules and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.E.Red is the color with the longest wavelength.F.When you're impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get mad.【语篇2】Planting and growing things offer a lot more than fresh vegetables and flowers. Working in a nice outdoor space can benefit people in more than one way. Here are some science- based advantages.It's a fun workout. It's wonderful to get out in the garden on a beautiful day to give it a tidy. 【小题1】Planting seeds, pulling up weeds, moving pots, pushing a lawnmower, and other gardening tasks actually provide a whole-body, moderate -intensity workout for adults over 65 years old, suggests a 2014paper from the American Society for Horticultural Science. Even better, whatever your age, it is an activity with a purpose-and one that might keep you in motion longer than traditional exercise.It sharpens your mind. More than just good exercise for your body, gardening provides a workout for your brain, according to a 2019 study that appeared in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Researchers measured brain nerve growth factors related to memory in study participants-all seniors-before and after they created a vegetable garden, and found that their levels of brain nerve growth had increased significantly.It boosts your immune system. Having dirt under your fingernails may be a sign of poor hygiene, but scientists say it could also be a mark of good health. Thanks to beneficial bacteria found in soil, gardening may strengthen your immune system, 【小题2】 according to research that includes a 2015 study published in the international journal ImmunoTargets and Therapy.It nourishes your spirit. 【小题3】 suggests an experiment conducted by NASA in 2016. The scientists found that planting and nurturing seeds, even in small pots, lifted astronauts' moods and eased their stress in the severe environment of outer space.

This applies not only to special educational games, but outdoor games which promote physical development and strengthen the health of the child. Also, any games develop creativity and imagination.Way of communication. A game for a child is also a way to convey to an adult their experiences: joys, anxieties, fears, hopes, expectations. Often, through the game, the child tells parents something important about himself and learns something important about his parents. The game is a way to be closer, to feel the support, care and love of parents.【小题2】Development of social skills and familiarity with social roles.【小题3】. Through the game, children learn about the concepts of “good” and “bad”. In games, children learn different social roles: they learn to be parents, friends, teachers, doctors, kings and presidents. Many games develop independence and responsibility, teach the child to overcome difficulties, take care of others, give gifts and share.Pleasure and joy. The game brings pleasure, joy and a lot of other positive emotions to the child and the significance of this cannot be underestimated (after all, even for adults, positive emotions are very important: they support us, help us develop and look at life positively). 【小题4】It is the key to the full development of the individual.C.

But life is full of opportunities to step outside the comfort zone. Here are some ways one might try to do so.Do everyday things differently. In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slowdown to take in the surroundings on a walk. 【小题1】Try a new diet. Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on “comfort foods”. 【小题2】Shifting to a healthier diet can be as challenging as it is rewarding, with self-trust growing as you hit milestone goals along the way.Take workouts to the next level. Many people are longing for this goal. For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling.Get creative. Creativity-anything from writing a poem to building a business-usually involves an element of risk. Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown. Therefore, failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes. Exercising creativity is a good way to train yourself to have a growth mindset and let go of a need for perfection from the outset.Challenge your beliefs. It's easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction-a feature of being in the comfort zone. 【小题3】While this can be uncomfortable, it enables growth and insight by challenging deep-rooted beliefs.

One could be a center of students doing projects, while another could be a center for the homeless and people seeking jobs. Still,the focus of a library remains as a place for information and knowledge. It used to be an unwelcome place for children, but now it has become a hub(活动中心)for community activity.Holly Jackson, a library consultant, says that year by year, library checkouts are going up, and activities are well- attended. 【小题1】When you arrive, there will be someone there to help you and your children set up library cards, sign up for programs, and show you where the books are.Jackson advises parents visiting the library when lots of activities are going on, as well as when it is quiet time. Parents can set a good example by using the library themselves as a resource. It helps builds confidence in children to talk to librarians, participate in book selection, and share stories with others.【小题2】 When there are a lot of activities, Jackson says some children can feel stressed. But going during quiet times gives children a chance to explore at their own pace and allows you the opportunity to meet different people.“So often people say.” 【小题3】 “Go find out what's going on,” says Jackson. It could be for filling out a job application, or just finding a book. “Go find out what it is and find what is there for you and your family.”A.However, the library provides more books than you expect.B.Jackson says all you need to do to visit a library is show up!C.The activities are what librarians design on purpose to attract readers.D.Quiet time is also an important time to take your children to the library.G.
