2022·新高考Ⅰ卷 说明文 180词 ★★☆☆☆
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to
stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve
elderly people's wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious
illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where
hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80yearold Ruth Xavier. She said：“I used to keep
hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to
school.”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out
and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.”
“It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the
hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it
feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and
the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark__on the
project, said：“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are
looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways，said：“We are happy to be taking part in
the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative
activities.”1．What is the purpose of the project?

C．To raise money for medical research.
D．To promote the elderly people's welfare.

2022· 山东省一模 应用文 329词 ★★☆☆☆
Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th,
otherwise known as Leap Day, isn't exactly a holiday. Instead, it's there to keep your calendar
consistent with the earth's rotation (旋转) around the sun.
According to a report, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he
came along, people used a 355day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year.
Roman officials were supposed to add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons
exactly where they should be. But that didn't work out all that well. When special occasions
started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and
decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12month, 365day calendar, which he named after
himself. Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.
Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun, it
causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate
their birthdays during the other threequarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while
others prefer a twoday celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.
Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was
deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10year sentence
included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for
years, not days, Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference.
Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day, almost allastronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.
5．Why was Leap Day created?
A．To create special occasions.
B．To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.
C．To keep pace with solar year.
D．To keep track of all the seasons.
6．What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?
A．It is sometimes delayed.
B．It lasts at least two days.
C．It has to be held every other year.
D．It may take place on different dates.
7．What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Joke. B．Topic.
C．Trouble. D．Mistake.
8．What is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?
A．Critical. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Cautious.
