Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·重庆七校联考)J. K. Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.
She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9yearold daughter Bailey.
He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.
Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly
23
involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”
After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures.

(2020·陕西部分学校摸底)While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.
Why isn’t complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.
Yet the harmful effects don’t stop there. A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马), which plays a vital role in problemsolving, to become smaller.
In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone—cortisol(皮质醇)—a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).
The ill effects of our complaining aren’t just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.
The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical wellbeing.

【解题导语】 研究发现,抱怨与消极性密切相关,除了导致脑损伤,抱怨还会释放皮质醇,持续高水平的皮质醇会导致高血压、高血糖和免疫力低下,而感恩却与之相反,会带来很多益处。因此人们在生活中要少点抱怨,多些感恩。

Ⅲ.短文改错
(2020·唐山一模)I like seeing English movies. In my spare time, I’d like to find and enjoying hot movies, among that The Lord of the Rings impresses me most. It has three series and I like both of them. Though the first volume was released on 2001, it is still not out of the date. In the movie, the scenery is so beautifully that I can’t move my eyes away. It is shot in New Zealand but I decide to go there some day. It shows me a world science fiction, where there are all kinds of creature. Movies give me pleasure and enlarge my vision.
答案:
I like seeing English movies. In my spare time, I’d like to find and hot movies, among The Lord of the Rings impresses me most. It has three series and I like of them. Though the first volume was released 2001, it is still not out of date. In the movie, the scenery is so that I can’t move my eyes away. It shot in New Zealand I decide to go there some day. It shows me a world science fiction, where there are all kinds of . Movies give me pleasure and enlarge my vision.
①enjoying改为enjoy。本句谓语动词后的find与enjoy应是并列关系,would like to do sth.为固定用法。故将enjoying改为enjoy。
②that改为which。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,hot movies为先行词,指物,引导词前有介词among,应用which引导该从句。故将that改为which。
③both改为all。根据上文中提到的three series可知,《指环王》有三部,both指“两者”;all指“三者或三者以上”,所以此处应用all来指代。故将both改为all。
④on改为in。年份前通常用介词in。故将on改为in。
23
⑤删除the。out of date意为“过时”,是固定短语。故删除the。
⑥beautifully改为beautiful。分析句子结构可知,此处作系动词is的表语,表示主语的状态或特征,应用形容词。故将beautifully改为beautiful。
⑦is改为was。该系列电影上映,为过去事件,应用一般过去时。故将is改为was。
⑧but改为and。根据句意可知,“该系列电影拍摄于新西兰”和“我决定将来有一天去那里”之间为并列关系,并非转折关系。故将but改为and。
⑨在world后加of。a world of science fiction意为“科幻世界”,其中of表示所属关系。故在world后加of。
⑩creature改为creatures。creature意为“生物”,为可数名词,且根据前面的all kinds of可以确定此处应用复数形式。故将creature改为creatures。
