1、高三高考前英语阅读保温练1记录成长：题目数量：4篇共16小题：正确个数：（）限定用时:30分钟每日鸡汤：你们的征程是星辰大海，2022，独一无二！(A)Search “toxic parents”, and youll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard ones mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, Ive

2、seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 A

3、merican adults have become estranged from their families. I believe thats an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in

4、power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sndor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.Todays social justice values respond to this

5、 reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the

6、 pain only deepens.Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend; situations with no winners, only isolated (孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of

7、 the other.The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesnt matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackl

8、ing the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How else can we love ot

9、hers, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It cant be a single project of

10、“self-help”, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangementand its worth the work.1/Why do young people cut ties with the family?ATo gain an inde

13、a means of communication(B)To put displays in front of your eyes to experience a big private screen, TCLs NXTWEAR G Glasses have some serious science fiction potential. But will they kickstart a new kind of wearable TVs, or be classified into a forgettable gimmick (噱头)?Unlike the smart glasses that

14、were once fashionable a few years ago, which were abandoned because they required a willingness to give away privacy, the NXTWEAR G has a screen that you wear as glasses, which can display content from your attached smart phone, tablet or laptop, through a 140inch (357 cm)TV.I must admit that when I

15、 first heard about them, I didnt believe in them. But the advantage is huge. With the glasses, you can see most of the world around you, particularly below the glasses. Having the image stay where it is in the glasses means you can get comfortable at whatever special angle you want and have the scre

16、en stay in the perfect spot. That would be fantastic for someone who has trouble keeping their head still (like with Parkinsons or a similar disease), or someone recovering from surgery.Of course, theyre not perfect. Theyre much heavier than they perhaps should be. A 140inch screen sounds much bigge

17、r, heavier and means having to rely on the controls of whatever device youre using. Its also not great if you need to wear regular glasses to see. That seems for firstgeneration glasses, they are very good, but still far from perfection.Although there is still something imperfect, the longer I spend

18、 with the NXTWEAR G, the brighter a future I can see for wearable screens. There is huge potential in wearable screens for a lot of applications, when theyre made lighter, more comfortable, and easier to use.5.Which can best replace the underlined word “kick-start” in paragraph 1?AGive up.BPick.CBeg

21、an island untouched by humans and without any large mammals. Colorful and strange birds of all shapes and sizes fly over forests and seaside hills. The sky is painted with endless clouds. Flightless birds nest safely on the ground, and seabirds cover the beaches. The sound of the bird song is overwh

22、elming. The Maori named this place “Aotearoa”, land of the Long White Cloud. The world now knows it as New Zealand.When the Maori sailed their canoes across the Pacific Ocean from their homeland, Hawaiki, at least 120 different species of birds lived in Aotearoa. Eleven species of moa, an ostrich-li

23、ke bird, moved freely, and the largest stood 11 feet tall. The Haasts eagle dominated the skies with its wing span of nearly 10 feet. Because bats were the only mammals(哺乳动物), Aotearoa was an actual bird paradise.Unfortunately, the Maori overhunted the moa for meat. As the moa disappeared, the Haast

24、s eagle lost its primary food source. By the time Europeans arrived in New Zealand, both birds were extinct.When European settlers arrived, they brought animals that attacked birds. These non-native animals exploded in number because they had no predators. Birds also lost habitat as forests were cut

25、 down for wood and pastures.Within a few hundred years of humans discovering and living in New Zealand, more than half the unique bird species were extinct. The whekau, found throughout New Zealand in the1800s, was declared extinct in 1914. The piopio, considered the best songbird in Aotearoa, was l

26、ast seen in the mid-1900s.Thirty percent of the species now alive are in danger because of other animals and loss of habitat. Scientists estimate nature would take 50 million years to replace the birds lost over the last 1, 000 years. New Zealand conservationists are working to save the threatened s

30、ange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a second language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brainpower. Researchers found that learning other languages cha

31、nges grey matter (灰质). This is the area of the brain which deals with information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a gr

32、oup of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a seco

33、nd language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to lea

34、rn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understandi

35、ng of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a
