1、高三英语晚自习限时训练一、阅读理解AParis is the most wooded city in Europe, and around one quarter of its area is taken up by parks, gardens and other green spaces.Jardin des Plantes: over 28 hectaresThis impressive botanical garden is home to four museums, including the Natural History Museum, which houses a variet
2、y of African animals. The gardens themselves boast thousands of species of plants. This is a lovely place to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings.Parc des Buttes-Chaumont: over 24 hectaresIf you want to get off the tourist trail and hang out with true Parisians, this park is the perfect spot
3、 for a relaxing picnic or a leisurely wander. It is in the 19th district and is one of the largest parks in Paris. Cross its lake on the suspension bridge, or admire the waterfalls and attractive temples.Jardin du Luxembourg: over 25 hectaresThese beautiful gardens were first laid out in 1612 as the
4、 gardens of the Luxembourg Palace. They include a geometric forest, French and English style gardens, as well as a large pond. There is so much to see and do with activities especially for children, such as slides, rides and puppet shows, as well as leisure and sporting activities for adults. The ga
5、rdens are home to more than one hundred sculptures.Le Parc de la Villette: 55 hectaresThis urban cultural park is so much more than just a park as it is home to numerous music venues, exhibition spaces and cafes. It is also home to no less than 12 gardens, which all follow different themes. The Pass

They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces
9、 to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infrared radiations (红外线照射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically empl
10、oys heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up-by up to 8.Previously, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the
11、sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively
12、and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost-effectively. However, although th
13、is product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear. However, this wo
14、uld cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.;4. How does the new coating work to remove fog?ABy reflecting part of sunlight selectively.BBy keeping cool air away
15、from the object.CBy creating a thin film of water on the surface.DBy absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.;5. Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products?ATo stress the advantages of the new coating.BTo introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.CTo prove the diffic
16、ulty of creating anti-fogging products.DTo explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular .;6. What is the limitation of the new coating?AIt is considerably expensive.BIt depends on sunlight to work.CIt takes too much time to produce.DIt is difficult to clean and maintain.;7. What do
17、the researchers plan to do next?AApply for a patent for the invention.BDevelop the product for more practical uses.CExplore the environmental impact of the coating.DSeek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.CAn exhibition of vivid photographs and a restored documentary give fresh insight int
18、o the Antarctic explorer, who died a century ago.One hundred years ago, the leader of the last great expedition of the heroic age of polar exploration died from a heart attack as his ship, Quest, headed for Antarctica. The announcement of the death of Ernest Shackleton on 30 January 1922 was greeted
19、 with an outpouring of national grief. This was the man, after all, who had saved the entire crew of his ship Endurance which had been crushed and sunk by ice in 1915 by making a daring trip in a tiny open boat over 750 miles of polar sea to raise the alarm at a whaling station in South Georgia. It
20、remains one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history and led to the idolising of Shackleton in the United Kingdom, a reputation that survived undamaged for the rest of the century. As his contemporary Raymond Priestley, the geologist and Antarctic explorer, later put it: “When disaster strik
21、es and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.” And here and now in 2022, his death is being marked with an elaborately illustrated exhibition Shackletons legacy and the power of early Antarctic photography which opens at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and which incl
22、udes a range of images and artefacts from his expeditions. Additionally, a digitally remade version of South, a documentary film of Shackletons 1914-16 Endurance expedition, is being screened at the British Film Institute. The film and most of the exhibitions finest images are the handiwork of Frank
23、 Hurley, who sailed with Shackleton and who was one of the 20th centurys greatest photographers and film-makers. Both film and exhibition feature striking camera work and provide vivid accounts of the hardships that Shackleton and his men endured as they headed off to explore Antarctica.Even after h
