(2022·惠州市调研)When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a
sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand．As it turns out, the same thing is
true for vehicles driving on roads．The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷)
in the pavement (路面) and this makes it like continuously driving up a very shallow hill．
Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M．I．T．and his team modeled how much energy
could be saved — and how much greenhouse gases could be avoided — by simply stiffening (使变硬)
the nation's roads and highways．And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation's roads every
year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades —
enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period．To put
those emission savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you'd spare the
planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a
decade．
The results are in the Transportation Research Record．
As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix a small number of synthetic fibers or
carbon nanotubes into paving materials．Or you could pave with cementbased concrete, which is stiffer
than asphalt (沥青)．
This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles．
Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you're talking about changing
policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as
opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements．That's just on the order of
thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies．And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新)
our streets and highways — those agencies are where the rubber meets the road．

(2022·东北三省四市一模)The way you learn most effectively will impact many different aspects
of your life.Visual learners process information best when it's presented with images drawn on a
whiteboard, charts or graphs.Visual learners usually process pictures before they read printed text and are
also able to visualize concepts quickly.People who are visual learners would prefer it if instruction is
printed rather than given verbally (口头地), and may often write or draw when conceptualizing or
attempting to make sense of a new topic.Many visual learners remember something better once they've
written it down or drawn it out.
Auditory (听觉的) learners process information best when it's said out loud, such as in a lecture
setting or spoken presentation.This type of learners can easily recall what others say and prefer to talk
through topics they find complex or difficult to understand.People who are auditory learners prefer verbal
directions and may use repetition or repeat things aloud to memorize things.They may ask questions to
understand the subject matter better and may need to hear something repeated more than once before they
fully comprehend.Auditory learners also often benefit from listening to recordings as a method of
absorbing new concepts.
Kinesthetic (动觉的) learners process information through experience rather than by being shown or
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂told.This type of learners prefer to do things that are more “handson”．They prefer to touch and feel
items and can easily recall things they've done.People who are kinesthetic learners like to make and create
things using their hands, and remember information best when they are physically involved.Kinesthetic
learners like to participate in the process by shadowing or assisting others, and prefer to practice or
rehearse concepts as a way to absorb new information.
Take time to consider how you prefer to take in new information.Think about the last time how
you worked to ensure you retained the information.The answers to these questions will help you discover
which learning style works best for you.
4．What do visual learners do to form an idea in mind?
A．Visualize or read something.
B．Process or present something.
C．Recall or speak.
D．Write or draw.
5．Who can comprehend something repeated better?

(2022·河北省六校联考)Not long ago, Linda Khan was sitting by a hospital bed in Houston, feeling ill at
ease.Beside her lay her father who needed heart surgery.The two of them had engaged in nothing but depressing
small talk.Then, her eyes fell on a pile of books.She picked up one, and started to read it out loud.“Right away it
changed the mood and atmosphere，” she says.Reading gave the daughter a way to connect with her
father.Listening allowed the father to travel on the sound of his daughter's voice into a place where he felt
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂himself again.“From then on，” Khan says，“I always read to him.”
In a 2010 survey in the United Kingdom, elderly adults who joined weekly readaloud groups reported better
concentration, less anxiety, and an improved ability to socialize.The survey authors owed these improvements in
large part to the “rich, varied diet of serious literature” that group members consumed, with fiction encouraging
feelings of relaxation and calm, poetry fostering focused concentration, and narratives giving rise to cognitive (认
知的) thoughts, feelings, and memories.In truth, almost any kind of reading to another person can be beneficial.
Readers get rewards too.For Neil Bush, the latelife hospitalization of his famous parents, George H．W.and
Barbara Bush, became opportunities to repay a debt of gratitude.“When I was a kid, they would read to me，” he
said.With his parents in and out of care，“We've been reading books about Dad's foreign policy and, more
recently, Mom's autobiography.” Bush went on, his voice thick with emotion，“And to read their amazing life to
them has been a remarkable blessing to me, personally, as their son.”
To many people, reading to parents may seem so far outside the normal range of regular activities, and it
may even feel odd and improper.However, there are still many people who brave the momentary strangeness of
reading to elderly adults and both readers and listeners are, to borrow a phrase from Wordsworth, surprised by the
joy of it.
8．What did reading offer to Linda and her father?
A．A way to establish a bond.
B．A way to travel together in reality.
C．A way to treat the disease.
D．A way to engage in learning.
9．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Improvements in mental health.
B．Benefits of reading to others.
C．Changes in the cognitive process.
D．Development of social skills.
10．What does Neil Bush's experience prove?
A．Reading benefits more than the listener.
B．Parents should read more to their kids.
C．Children should show their gratitude.
D．Reading to parents is children's duty.

A．Improper and odd. B．Abnormal but worthy.
C．Rewarding and joyful. D．Interesting but unnecessary.

(2022·泉州市质量监测)People today are not unfamiliar with terms such as “going ecofriendly” and
“sustainable lifestyle”．However, there exists a group of sceptics (怀疑论者) who believe that going ecofriendly is
merely a fad (一时的风尚)．I disagree with this viewpoint．Going ecofriendly is not merely a fad and it does, in
fact, change the beliefs and attitudes of people．
The longterm presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards
going ecofriendly．Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go ecofriendly．The high
involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going ecofriendly is not merely
a fad but a trend that can last decades．
Another strong indicator is the emergence of sustainable products in many industries, such as organic
produce and electric vehicles．The consumer demand, coupled with ecoconscious (环保意识的) businesses, is
behind the sharp increase in such products．This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards
adopting a sustainable lifestyle．Thus, it seems quite certain that going ecofriendly is not merely a fad．
While some people who broadcast their ecofriendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco-
conscious image, there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zerowaste lifestyle for years．For
those who do so for years, and not mere days or months, it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true
change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth．
The call to save the earth looks set to stay．With the development of technology and the appearance of
many platforms advocating going green, people are more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can
learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and
individuals．It is hoped that these efforts will go a long way in ensuring that our planet will remain a suitable place
to live in．
12．Why does the author mention World Wildlife Fund?
A．To appreciate its environmental efforts．
B．To encourage people to go ecofriendly．
C．To evidence the universal recognition of going green．
D．To highlight the difficulty in changing people's attitudes．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂13．What does the underlined word “emergence” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Sudden disappearance． B．Sharp increase．
C．Gradual development． D．Limited application．
14．What does the author expect of technology development?
A．It may discourage people from sustainable lifestyle．
B．It may boost the business of organic produce．
C．It will be used to project an ecoconscious image．
D．It will promote environmental awareness．
15．What is the author's purpose in writing this text?
A．To prove going ecofriendly is a lasting trend．
B．To popularize the ecofriendly products．
C．To offer strategies to go ecofriendly．
D．To advertise for ecofriendly platforms．

(2021·厦门市质检)If you're an undecider, even the simplest decisions can make your pulse
race.__1__ Here are some strategies for spending less time worrying about decisions.
Go for being good enough
Since perfectionism and indecision often go hand in hand, you should be moving from a mindset
that “only the best will do” to “being good enough is good enough”．It helps to reflect on your
original goal.Did you begin the exhausting online shopping to find a toaster that could clean itself, roast
carrots and also charge your cellphone? Or were you just looking for something that would brown your
bread? __2__
Outsource (交外办理) decisions
Research has shown that choices weaken the willpower and lead to decision fatigue (疲劳)．That's
why indecisive people are advised to pick their “battles”．__3__When it comes to wine, for example,
all I want is a good glass with dinner.So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to
my local wine store, asking it to send me a case of surprises once in a while.
The 90 percent rule
When a yesorno decision has many pros and cons, try the “90 percent rule”．This involves
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂evaluating an opportunity on a scale from 0 to 100.If your interest falls anywhere below 90 percent,
reduce its score to zero and reject it.__4__Why would you deliberately choose to feel that way about an
important choice in your life?
__5__
If you're deciding whether to move across the country, imagine you've asked your best friend to
choose for you.On the big day, she hands you an envelope; inside, it announces you're leaving next
month.Do you feel excited? Or disappointed? Using thought experiments to separate important variables
can help you cut through the fog to see clarity.
A．Cut through the fog
B．Turn to friends for help
C．You could rely on habits and routines.
D．In other words, be choosy about choosing.
E．Remembering your purpose can simplify the process.
F．Think about how you'd feel if you scored 65 points on some test.
G．And big, lifechanging choices can cause a state of breaking down.

One morning on my way to school, I noticed an elderly woman dressed in a yellow vest (马甲)
carrying a garbage bag and one of those rubbish claws (爪形夹具)．“What's that lady doing？” I
asked Mum.“Vest Lady.She just picks up rubbish around here for fun，” Mum said.“Why would
someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun？” I puzzled.
For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady — rain or shine — on my way to school.I
had thought she was crazy about picking up rubbish.Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I
saw her.Later, I moved to high school.The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed.Then
I'd think，“Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish? People are so inconsiderate！” However, shortly
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂after, I realized picking up rubbish was not someone else's problem.
Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty.I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our
school.Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so
determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective
safety yellow vest with my own name on it.
During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, I met with unfriendly looks from others as if I
were a criminal doing community service.One day, I had an epiphany (顿悟)：“I'm acting just like the
Vest Lady！”
But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street,
pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic ...I alone was too weak! How would I get more
volunteers involved in rubbish removal? A smart idea flashed into my mind.
