wildlife.Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.Unfortunately,it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.Millions of waterfowl(水禽)were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations,greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地).In 1934,with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act(法案),an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的)waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act,all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N.“Ding”Darling,a political cartoonist from Des Moines,Iowa,who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come.Since 1934,better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.28.What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?A.Loss of wetlands.B.Popularity of water sports.C.Pollution of rivers.D.Arrival of other wild animals.29.What does the underlined word“decimate”mean in the first paragraph?A.Acquire.B.Export.C.Destroy.D.Distribute.30.What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?A.The stamp price has gone down.B.The migratory birds have flown away.C.The hunters have stopped hunting.D.The government has collected money.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.The Federal Duck Stamp Story B.The National Wildlife Refuge System C.The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D.The History of Migratory Bird Hunting 微信公众号学习帮e免费分享，纸质资料联系微信:WK-XTXZ688高考备考 省时有效 高考英语全年订阅班课程材料三 2 2021年新高考一卷阅读理解年新高考一卷阅读理解D篇篇 Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的)intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a persons makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test,such as character,motivation,confidence,mental stability,optimism and“people skills.”Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities,but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients,while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support,the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视)on emotion by employers,educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable,we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades,advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角)from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence,with its focus on both head and heart,may serve to point us in the right direction.32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A.It can be measured by an IQ test.B.It helps to exercise a persons mind.C.It includes a set of emotional skills.D.It refers to a persons positive qualities.33.Why does the author mention“doctor”and“cheater”in paragraph 2?A.To explain a rule.B.To clarify a concept.C.To present a fact.D.To make a prediction.34.What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Unclear.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A.Its appeal to the public.B.Expectations for future studies.C.Its practical application.D.Scientists with new perspectives.微信公众号学习帮e免费分享，纸质资料联系微信:WK-XTXZ688高考备考 省时有效 高考英语全年订阅班课程材料三 3 2021年高考乙卷阅读理解年高考乙卷阅读理解C篇篇 Youve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference?Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage,forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year,the artist built a piece called“Strawpocalypse,”a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves,frozen mid-crash.Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups,the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam.Just 9%of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源)of plastic pollution,but theyve recently come under fire because most people dont need them to drink with and,because of their small size and weight,they cannot be recycled.Every straw thats part of Von Wongs artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明)a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckloads worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work,titled“Truckload of Plastic,”Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,which were then tied together to look like theyd been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all at once.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.28.What are Von Wongs artworks intended for?A.Beautifying the city he lives in.B.Introducing eco-friendly products.C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D.Reducing garbage on the beach.29.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.B.To explain why they are useful.C.To voice his views on modern art.D.To find a substitute for them.30.What effect would“Truckload of Plastic”have on viewers?A.Calming.B.Disturbing.C.Refreshing.D.Challenging.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Artists Opinions on Plastic Safety B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures 微信公众号学习帮e免费分享，纸质资料联系微信:WK-XTXZ688高考备考 省时有效 高考英语全年订阅班课程材料三 4 2021年高考乙卷阅读理解年高考乙卷阅读理解D篇篇 During an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think about often.Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office,he said,“Thats why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street so I can focus.”His comment struck me as strange.After all,coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout(布局).But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background,from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels,and 85 decibels.The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant;however,the participants in the 70 decibels group those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise not too loud and not total silence may actually improve ones creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander,without making it impossible to focus.This kind of“distracted focus”appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.So why do so many of us hate our open offices?The problem may be that,in our offices,we cant stop ourselves from getting drawn into others conversations while were trying to focus.Indeed,the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.32.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?A.It helps him concentrate.B.It blocks out background noise.C.It has a pleasant atmosphere.D.It encourages face-to-face interactions.33.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?A.Total silence.B.50 decibels.C.70 decibels.D.85 decibels.34.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?A.Personal privacy unprotected.B.Limited working space.C.Restrictions on group discussion.D.Constant interruptions.35.What can we infer about the author from the text?A.Hes a news reporter.B.Hes an office manager.C.Hes a professional designer.D.Hes a published writer.微信公众号学习帮e免费分享，纸质资料联系微信:WK-XTXZ688
