Now l think it's time.‎ Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a marl in the western suburbs. He said, "I read what you wrote about Jordan. but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw."‎ Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.‎ A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?‎ ‎"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."‎ And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?‎ ‎"Everything," Jordan said. "Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."‎ It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.‎ ‎24. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because _____________.‎ A. he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then B. he hated to see Jordan do something bad C. he believed it was time to help the disabled D. he thought highly of Jordan's deeds ‎ ‎25. A man in the western suburbs made a call to ________________.‎ A. know why Jordan stopped in a bad area B. get a chance to become famous himself C. let the writer know Jordan was not that nice D. offer an example to show how Jordan helped others ‎26. Jordan talked with the boys because he __________________.‎ A. needed their support B. wanted to make sure they all studied well C. liked to teach them to play basketball D. had promised to do so ‎ ‎27. The text implies that Jordan is ___________________.‎ A. an excellent basketball player B. good at dealing with problems of life C. always ready to make friends with young people D. willing to do whatever he can for the good of society C Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. It's hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in the human body. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.‎ Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as the impact on human health.‎ Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team, led by Kieran Cox, a Ph. D. candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the number of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugar, salt, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation (吸入) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency’s data on respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via foods and drinks ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.‎ The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared with 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. "This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact." Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate "the accumulative human exposure to microplastics". But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the foods and drinks that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans' caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grain because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.‎ 8‎ For those who worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so many plastics.‎ ‎28. What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?‎ A. The quality of microplastics. B. The quantity of microplastics.‎ C. The size of microplastics. D. The shape of microplastics.‎ ‎29. How did Kieran Cox's team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?‎ A. By analyzing existing data. B. By comparing the impact.‎ C. By studying papers. D. By conducting experiments.‎ ‎30. What can we know according to the text?‎ A. The study is among the earliest ones to investigate human exposure to microplastics.‎ B. Drinking less plastic bottle water helps to take in fewer microplastics. ‎ C. Cox's team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.‎ D. People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from foods and drinks.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Potential Problems of Microplastics B. Microplastics Found Within Human Bodies ‎ C. Microplastics Coming From Various Sources D. The Impact of Microplastes on Human Health D In the late 1960s, the anthropologist (人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Cuinea armed with mirrors, videos and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt (扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response---covering their mouths and ducking their heads---they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter's devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed (打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other.‎ It's unclear if the People of Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what's striking isn't how strange their reaction seems, but how related. Do you know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, a hug or a social kiss? That's the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty", as Dahl defines it. Suddenly, I see I'm viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in the lift.‎ As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it's natural to want to overcome it. Dahl's initial motivation for writing her book Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own awkwardness. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunities than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates a strange kind of social bond---how much in common we have when seeing that behind the disguise (伪装) ---we're all just trying our best to seem perfect.‎ The awkward you, then, are the real you, the one without the defensive performance. Dahl even indicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different ideas.‎ ‎32. How did the people of Biami feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?‎ A. Shocked at their reflections. B. Satisfied with their images.‎ C. Curious about their look. D. Ashamed of their appearance.‎ ‎33. Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?‎ A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.‎ B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.‎ C. You are found standing in pubic with your trousers zip open.‎ D. You're refused when offering your seat to a seemingly pregnant woman.‎ 8‎ ‎34. What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?‎ A. Not knowing anything novel. B. Seeking perfection. ‎ C. Avoiding pressure from others. D. Lacking courage to face some problems.‎ ‎35. What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?‎ A. Treat others in a friendly way. B. Connect with your friends regularly.‎ C. Express yourself honestly with no defensive cover. D. Get ready to guard against any threat from others.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Whether you are a new blogger, or one that has been blogging for a while, you are probably wondering how to make the best of your blog. ___ 36 _____ By doing so, you can get your blog known, promote a product and get the results you are expecting.

I'd just picked her up from preschool when she cautioned me not to mind the elderly person walking across the parking lot at a glacier's pace. She went on to explain that she had a soft spot for old folks: "I like old people best because they walk slowly like I do and they have soft skin as I do. They are all gonna die soon, so I'm gonna love them before they die." I was struck by her thoughtfulness and sympathy. ‎ ‎ The following day — her birthday — again on the way home from school, she asked if we could stop at the grocery store to buy cupcakes for her and her six siblings to enjoy after dinner. How can you say no to a birthday girl? I popped Norah and her younger sister into one of those car-shaped grocery carts and headed toward the bakery. After we picked up the cupcakes, I stopped at a shelf that caught my eye. While I was distracted, Norah was busy standing up in the cart, excitedly waving and gleefully proclaiming, "Hi, old person! It's my birthday today!" The man was elderly, with his weather-beaten face. However, before I could shush her, he stopped and turned to her. If he was troubled by my innocent child, he would show it. His expression was softened as he replied, "Well, hello, little lady! And how old are you today?" They chatted for a few minutes, he wished her a happy birthday, and we went our separate ways. A few minutes later, she turned to me and asked, "Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday?" It was the cutest thing ever, and although I wasn't sure if he'd be willing to, I told her we'd certainly ask. ‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；‎ ‎2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ We found the man a couple of aisles over, and I approached him. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ After a few minutes, I thanked Mr. Dan for spending a bit of time with us. ‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 8‎ 江苏省泰州中学2021届高三第二次月度检测英语答案 听力 ‎1-5 CBBAC 6-10 CCABA 11-15 CCABB 16-20 ACBAB 阅读理解 ‎21-23 ADC 24-27 DCBD 28-31 CABB 32-35 ADBC 七选五 ‎36.

"Excuse me, sir? This is Norah, and she'd like to know if you'd take a picture with her for her birthday." His expression changed from confused to stunned to delighted. "A picture? With me?" he asked. "Yes, for my birthday!" Norah pleaded. And he agreed. I pulled out my iPhone, and they posed together. She placed her soft hand on top of his hand. He wordlessly stared at her with twinkling eyes as she kept his hand in hers and studied his skinny arms and weather-beaten hands. I asked his name and he told us to call him Dan.‎ After a few minutes, I thanked Mr. Dan for spending a bit of time with us. Tears in his eyes, he said "No, thank you. This is the best day I've had for a long time." He turned to my daughter. "You've made me so happy, Miss Norah." They hugged tightly and they were chatting like long-lost friends. There was magic happening in the grocery store that day and I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't weepy at that moment. I was sure his heart was touched by my little girl and that he would never forget it.‎ 8‎
