special way.the traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four. although the amputation caused setbacks for gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.to spread that message, gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geotag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.now she has been taking pictures across the continent, which show her cycling over the canal in amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of barcelona, posing with a waffle in brussels, taking spectacular pictures in athens and enjoying a river cruise in budapest, all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg.“i get a new leg every two years and i can choose the design on it. one day i had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard，” gallagher said. “my mum and grandmother werent too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so i did.”gallagher said people often stare when shes writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback. “my leg hasnt stopped me from doing anything ive wanted to do，” she said. “i dont know if its my determination to prove to myself that i can do it, but regardless, ive been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. and if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.【解題導語】本文是一篇記敘文。devon gallagher在四歲時因患骨科疾病右腿被截肢，但是這并沒有影響她對夢想的追求。她到世界各地旅行，將自己的旅行情況寫在假肢上并拍照片發(fā)到社交媒體。她的故事告訴人們：不要讓任何東西阻礙你追求夢想。1what message did gallagher want to spread in her special way?ashe enjoys

nonverbal(非語言的) vocabulary. each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. it has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men. this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. in one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteenminute average it took men to describe it.men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. mens body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women. men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. men avoid other peoples body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. all of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. after learning about our styles of communicating with each other, i have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “l(fā)anguage”？ the little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. the question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “i wonder if theres something there？” would no longer exist.【解題導語】本文是一篇議論文，主要介紹了男性和女性因性別差異而導致在溝通方式上也有所不同的現(xiàn)象。5what does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?athe differences between mens and womens languages.bthe different

women.”可推知，本段主要講的是男性和女性在非語言表達方式上的不同，即肢體語言使用上的差異，故選d。7what is the authors attitude to the differences between mens and womens communication?acautious.bfavorable.cambiguous.dskeptical.b解析：觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句和第三句“after learning about our styles of communicating with each other, i have decided that although men have not

閱讀理解(2020成都高三摸底)as evolution tends to remove waste, how come we evolved such large, energyconsuming brains? the dominant hypothesis(假設) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. but our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion is likely driven by ecology(生態(tài))scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. the common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. for example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? this would indicate an ecological origin. or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?while many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. it cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.to find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(可能出現(xiàn)的情況) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model. we found that a combination of ecological and social challenges do produce the brain size we see in humans. but it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. in contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. but you need both factors to get the brain size we see todayif there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. bigger isnt necessarily better.but many animals face hard ecological problems. why dont they all have large brains? we found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow. so our results and those of others suggest that hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a humansized brain.will the human brain expand further? the complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文?？茖W研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人類大腦的大小是由生態(tài)環(huán)境和文化知識積累的共同作用決定的；大腦并非越大越好，如果大腦過大，則人類將無法適應社交活動。1in most peoples view, what makes human evolve large brains?asocial challenges.bsocial and ecological challenges.cecological challenges.dcompetition with other large animals.a解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“the dominant hypothesis(假設)suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force.”并結(jié)合第一段內(nèi)容可知，大部分人認為棘手的社交活動是人類大腦進化的動力，故a項正確。2whats the problem of the common approach?aits model is not reliable enough.bit doesnt tell the cause and effect clearly.cits hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.dit doesnt find brain size is connected with problems.b解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“it cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.”可知，傳統(tǒng)的研究方法無法解釋清楚大腦進化的原因和影響，故b項正確。3why dont many animals have large brains?athey dont learn from each other.bthey dont face hard ecological problems.cthey dont need to cooperate with each other.dthey dont keep learning tough skills as they grow.d解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第二、三句“why dont they all have large brains? we found that ecological problems only lead to humansized brains when individuals can keep learning hard skills as they grow.”可知，只有當個體在成長過程中不斷學習艱難的技能時，生態(tài)環(huán)境才會影響人類特定大小的大腦。據(jù)此可推知，動物在成長過程中并沒有持續(xù)學習艱難的技能，所以動物沒有大的大腦，故d項正確。4which of the following do the researchers find most surprising?aanimals dont have large brains.bsocial challenges decrease brain size.cecological challenges increase brain size.dits unclear whether human brains will expand further.b解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第四句“in contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size.”可知，與主流觀點及我們自己的預期相反，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)社會挑戰(zhàn)導致大腦變小。據(jù)此可知，社會挑戰(zhàn)導致大腦變小是令人驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)，故b項正確。 七選五(2020昆明摸底調(diào)研)how to be a good listener to your familycommunication is important for strong family relationships. 1._ working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.listen actively. when listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things. its important to make your family member feel heard and valued. put your phone away and give them your full attention. never think about other things when someone is talking. 2._repeat what has been said. briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication. everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family members point can show you were listening. 3._ it can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well.4_ interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation. always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response. this allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking. do not talk over someone either. no matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.avoid hurrying the speaker. 5._ do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along. never say things like “can you get to the point？” this will make it seem like youre not interested in the conversation.ado not interrupt.bnever rush the person into talking.cinstead, focus on whats being said.dpeople tend to pause when they speak.eit can help you make sure you understood the speaker.fwhen someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary.ghowever, if you dont truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.【解題導語】本文介紹了四個改善家庭成員間關系的傾聽技巧。1g解析：空前一句突出交流對鞏固家庭成員之間關系的重要性，空后一句是說使用傾聽技巧可以幫助你更好地交流以及建立更密切的聯(lián)系，故g項“然而，如果你不能真正地傾聽他人，交流就會變得困難”從反面進一步強調(diào)傾聽的重要性。2c解析：本段圍繞“l(fā)isten
