（2023高二下·开学考）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项。
For
about two months, Frank Gordon and his dog Casey have been in intensive training.
Casey is training to become a qualified service dog, and Gordon is training to use
him to cope with what doctors have diagnosed as severe/post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD 创伤后应激障碍）。
And
that alone is a huge step for Gordon, who says he feels trapped in the real-life
nightmare he endured during his military service. After having lived with invisible
wounds for more than 30 years, he's now got Casey, a new solution to-a problem as
old as war.
Casey
and many other dogs at Wags for Warriors a non-profit organization in northeast
Ohio, are trained to sense when their veterans（老兵）become
anxious, and to pull them out of panic attacks. That's what a dog named Sophie was
doing as she sat next to her owner and Wags for Warriors co-founder Frank Delorenzo.
Sophie reminds Delorenzo to take his medication, pulls him out of crowded areas,
and wakes him up from nightmares.
Army
veteran Olena Fergurson, who had a brain injury in a plane crash, says, "Before
I got my dog Vata and started my training, I could not attend an appointment. "
Since
October of last year, Delorenzo and his wife have been training and providing service
dogs to these veterans free of charge. They hold training classes between three
and four days each week.
"Some
veterans say that it improves theirquality of life, but we haven't been able yet
to determine whether these dogs provide a medical benefit to veterans with mental
illness, "says Mark Ballesteros, a spokesperson for the U. S. Department of
Veteran Affairs.
Dr.
Heather Axtell, a clinical psychologist, says, "I believe that service animals
provide a lot of comfort. They make people feel more secure, but they can't take
away what happened. Service dogs give veterans companions, and unconditional love.
"
24．How many dogs are mentioned in the passage
A．One B．Two C．Three D．Four

（2023高二下·开学考）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项。
White
was one of the first colors used in art in the 15th century, and one would think
that there is little room left to improve its"whiteness". It turns out
that is far from the case. A team of researchers led by Xiulin Ruan, a professor
at Purdue University, recently revealed an"ultra-white"paint that they
believe could even help fight climate change.
The
scientists, who spent six years creating the world's "whites white"paint,
claim
that the white paints currently available make surfaces warmer rather than cooler.
That's because they only reflect 80 to 90 percent of the sunlight and cannot make
surfaces cooler than the surrounding temperature. The newly-revealed ultra-white
paint not only reflects 98. 1 percent of sunlight, but also prevents surface infrared（红外线的）heat from being absorbed.
"Our paint absorbs 1. 9% of sunlight, but those commercial paints absorb 10% of the sunlight --five times as much as our paint absorbs, "Dr. Ruan says. "They look white, they are pretty white, but they aren't white enough — they're not able to cool beyond the surrounding temperature. "
Outdoor
tests of the new paint indicated it could keep surfaces 5℃ cooler than the surrounding
temperature under the strong noon sunlight and as much as 10℃ cooler at night.
"We did a very rough calculation, "Dr. Ruan told a news reporter. "And we estimate we would only need to paint 1 percent of the Earth's surface with this paint-perhaps an area where no people live that is covered in rocks --and that could help fight the climate change trend. "
However,
Hashem Akbari, professor of building at Concordia University, believes the paint's
real benefits can only be proved after being in use for a few years. "Dirt
and dust tend to decrease the reflectivity of the surface, "Akbari said. "If
it starts with 95% reflectivity, the pollutants from the air could collect on the
surface, and they decrease the reflectivity.
28．What does the text intend to tell us
A．A new color has been found B．A new paint has been created.
C．Climate change is under control. D．New research is causing argument.
29．What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph2 refer to
A．The surfaces. B．The scientists.
C．The traditional paints. D．The two kinds of colors.
30．What can be inferred about Dr. Ruan's new paint
A．It absorbs less sunlight. B．It has been widely used.
C．It makes surfaces warmer. D．It functions only in the daytime.
31．What is Hashem's attitude to the new paint
A．Reserved. B．Optimistic. C．Disappointed. D．Uninterested.

【知识点】推理判断题；观点态度题；科普环保类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明，介绍了一种新型涂料，一些科学家相信这种新型涂料能帮助对抗气候变化。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，代词指代和观点态度三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
28．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“A team of researchers led by Xiulin Ruan，a professor at Purdue University，recently revealed an 'ultra-white" paint that they believe could even help fight climate change. ”由普渡大学教授Xiulin Ruan带领的一个研究小组最近发现了一种“超白”涂料，他们相信这种涂料甚至可以帮助对抗气候变化。可知，本文主要是想告诉我们一种新的涂料被创作出来了，故选B。
29．考查代词指代。根据第二段中的“The scientists，who spent six years creating the world's ‘whitest white’ paint， claim that the white paints currently available make surfaces wanner rather than cooler. ”这些科学家花了六年时间创造了世界上“最白的白色涂料”，他们声称，目前可用的白色涂料使表面更温暖，而不是更冷；以及“That's because they only reflect 80 to 90 percent of the sunlight and cannot make surfaces cooler than the surrounding temperature. "那是因为它们只能反射80%到90%的阳光，不能使表面比周围的温度更冷。可知，划线单词所在的句子解释了目前可用的白色涂料使表面更温暖，而不是更冷的原因，可推断出，划线单词they指代的是上句话中提到的“the white paints currently available”目前可用的白色涂料，即传统涂料，故选C。
30．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Our paint absorbs 1. 9% of sunlight， but those commercial paints absorb 10% of the sunlight-five times as much as our paint absorbs，”我们的涂料吸收1. 9%的阳光，但那些商业涂料吸收10%的阳光，吸收阳光的量是我们涂料的5倍。可知，Ruan博士的新型涂料吸收更少的太阳光，故选A。
31．考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“However，Hashem Akbari， professor of building at Concordia University，believes the paint's real benefits can only be proved after being in use for a few years. ”然而， Concordiav 大学建筑学教授Hashem Akbari认为，这种涂料的真正好处只有在使用几年后才能得到证明。可知，Hashem对这种新型涂料的态度是有所保留的，故选A。

Picture
an iceberg（冰山）. You'll probably imagine something white
as snow rising up out of a blue sea. But icebergs can be all sorts of shades. They
can be from a frosty blue to an attractive green.
Researchers
and sailors have observed emerald（翠绿色）icebergs
for years. A large piece of ice"mast-high"and"green as emerald"even
appears in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1834 poem. But they haven't found out exactly
why these icebergs look the way they do.
A
new paper led by Stephen Warren was published. It all has to do with what icebergs
are made out of. Icebergs break off glaciers（冰川）or ice shelves,
which happens mainly around Antarctica and Greenland. They begin their lives as
snowfall that accumulates over time. So icebergs contain air pockets with the form
of bubbles that spread light. With some exceptions and rare lines, glacier ice tends
to look bluish white.
At
first, Warren guessed that the green was a product of melt carbon. And it came from
rotting plants or sea animals. But samples（样本）didn't prove
it. Another idea started to take shape after they had found a high concentration
of iron in a sample of sea ice from the Amery Ice Shelf.
When glaciers rub across land, they produce what's known as glacier flour. It is a product of bedrock being ground clown by the moving mass. As glaciers move away, these remains are usually washed out into water, in particles（颗粒） sometimes too small to be noticeable to your eyes. But on land, soil and rocks contain iron oxides（氧化铁）that often have rosy colors, like reds, yellows, and browns—and since the sea ice contained 500 times more iron than the glacier ice, Warren wondered whether the remains were responsible for icebergs taking on a green appearance.
He
doesn't know for sure. He's hoping to secure money so that he can return to the
area and study the icebergs themselves.
32．Why is Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem mentioned in the text
A．It tells why icebergs look the way they do.
B．It describes vividly what icebergs are like.
C．It says causes of the appearance of icebergs.
D．It proves the existence of colorful icebergs.
33．What can we know about Stephen Warren's paper
A．It draws on researchers' and sailors' views.
B．It is the record of the movement of icebergs.
C．It talks about how icebergs come into being.
D．It is a collection of various social phenomena.
34．What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 4 refer to
A．A sample of sea ice. B．Warren's first guess.
C．Warren's idea on iron. D．A product of melt carbon.
35．What is paragraph 5 mainly about

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
　36． 　 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 　37． 　You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way　38． 　Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）. Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
　39． 　If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. 　40． 　 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.
A. Why should you forgive
B. How/should you start to forgive
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

39．根据空后“If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear and even love. ”如果你理解惹怒你的人，你可能会意识到他是无意伤害你的，应该站在对方的角度考虑一下。D. Try to see things from your offender's angle. “试着站在对方的角度思考问题”，符合语境，故选D。

and many other dogs at Wags for Warriors a non-profit organization in northeast
Ohio, are trained to sense when their veterans（老兵）become
anxious, and to pull them out of panic attacks. That's what a dog named Sophie was
doing as she sat next to her owner and Wags for Warriors co-founder Frank Delorenzo.
Sophie reminds Delorenzo to take his medication, pulls him out of crowded areas,
and wakes him up from nightmares.
Army
veteran Olena Fergurson, who had a brain injury in a plane crash, says, "Before
I got my dog Vata and started my training, I could not attend an appointment. "
Since
October of last year, Delorenzo and his wife have been training and providing service
dogs to these veterans free of charge. They hold training classes between three
and four days each week.
"Some
veterans say that it improves theirquality of life, but we haven't been able yet
to determine whether these dogs provide a medical benefit to veterans with mental
illness, "says Mark Ballesteros, a spokesperson for the U. S. Department of
Veteran Affairs.
Dr.
Heather Axtell, a clinical psychologist, says, "I believe that service animals
provide a lot of comfort. They make people feel more secure, but they can't take
away what happened. Service dogs give veterans companions, and unconditional love.

White
was one of the first colors used in art in the 15th century, and one would think
that there is little room left to improve its"whiteness". It turns out
that is far from the case. A team of researchers led by Xiulin Ruan, a professor
at Purdue University, recently revealed an"ultra-white"paint that they
believe could even help fight climate change.
The
scientists, who spent six years creating the world's "whites white"paint,
claim
that the white paints currently available make surfaces warmer rather than cooler.
That's because they only reflect 80 to 90 percent of the sunlight and cannot make
surfaces cooler than the surrounding temperature. The newly-revealed ultra-white
paint not only reflects 98. 1 percent of sunlight, but also prevents surface infrared（红外线的）heat from being absorbed.
"Our paint absorbs 1. 9% of sunlight, but those commercial paints absorb 10% of the sunlight --five times as much as our paint absorbs, "Dr. Ruan says. "They look white, they are pretty white, but they aren't white enough — they're not able to cool beyond the surrounding temperature. "
Outdoor
tests of the new paint indicated it could keep surfaces 5℃ cooler than the surrounding
temperature under the strong noon sunlight and as much as 10℃ cooler at night.
"We did a very rough calculation, "Dr. Ruan told a news reporter. "And we estimate we would only need to paint 1 percent of the Earth's surface with this paint-perhaps an area where no people live that is covered in rocks --and that could help fight the climate change trend. "
However,
Hashem Akbari, professor of building at Concordia University, believes the paint's
real benefits can only be proved after being in use for a few years. "Dirt
and dust tend to decrease the reflectivity of the surface, "Akbari said. "If
it starts with 95% reflectivity, the pollutants from the air could collect on the
surface, and they decrease the reflectivity.
28．What does the text intend to tell us
A．A new color has been found B．A new paint has been created.
C．Climate change is under control. D．New research is causing argument.
29．What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph2 refer to
A．The surfaces. B．The scientists.
C．The traditional paints. D．The two kinds of colors.
30．What can be inferred about Dr. Ruan's new paint
A．It absorbs less sunlight. B．It has been widely used.
C．It makes surfaces warmer. D．It functions only in the daytime.
31．What is Hashem's attitude to the new paint
A．Reserved. B．Optimistic. C．Disappointed. D．Uninterested.

Picture
an iceberg（冰山）. You'll probably imagine something white
as snow rising up out of a blue sea. But icebergs can be all sorts of shades. They
can be from a frosty blue to an attractive green.
Researchers
and sailors have observed emerald（翠绿色）icebergs
for years. A large piece of ice"mast-high"and"green as emerald"even
appears in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1834 poem. But they haven't found out exactly
why these icebergs look the way they do.
A
new paper led by Stephen Warren was published. It all has to do with what icebergs
are made out of. Icebergs break off glaciers（冰川）or ice shelves,
which happens mainly around Antarctica and Greenland. They begin their lives as
snowfall that accumulates over time. So icebergs contain air pockets with the form
of bubbles that spread light. With some exceptions and rare lines, glacier ice tends
to look bluish white.
At
first, Warren guessed that the green was a product of melt carbon. And it came from
rotting plants or sea animals. But samples（样本）didn't prove
it. Another idea started to take shape after they had found a high concentration
of iron in a sample of sea ice from the Amery Ice Shelf.
When glaciers rub across land, they produce what's known as glacier flour. It is a product of bedrock being ground clown by the moving mass. As glaciers move away, these remains are usually washed out into water, in particles（颗粒） sometimes too small to be noticeable to your eyes. But on land, soil and rocks contain iron oxides（氧化铁）that often have rosy colors, like reds, yellows, and browns—and since the sea ice contained 500 times more iron than the glacier ice, Warren wondered whether the remains were responsible for icebergs taking on a green appearance.
He
doesn't know for sure. He's hoping to secure money so that he can return to the
area and study the icebergs themselves.
32．Why is Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem mentioned in the text
A．It tells why icebergs look the way they do.
B．It describes vividly what icebergs are like.
C．It says causes of the appearance of icebergs.
D．It proves the existence of colorful icebergs.
33．What can we know about Stephen Warren's paper
A．It draws on researchers' and sailors' views.
B．It is the record of the movement of icebergs.
C．It talks about how icebergs come into being.
D．It is a collection of various social phenomena.
34．What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 4 refer to
A．A sample of sea ice. B．Warren's first guess.
C．Warren's idea on iron. D．A product of melt carbon.
35．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The possible reason why icebergs look green
B．whore most of icebergs eventually disappear.
C．How icebergs take in the colors from glaciers.
D．The way in which icebergs breaks off glaciers.

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
　36． 　 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 　37． 　You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way　38． 　Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）. Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
　39． 　If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. 　40． 　 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.
A. Why should you forgive
B. How/should you start to forgive
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
