I always try to live by the extra minute rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an if only moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (襯墊) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. 【英語】高考英語高中英語閱讀理解技巧(很有用)及練習題一、高中英語閱讀理解1．閱讀理解 Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. I don39。s equally important to avoid if only in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say I love you or I forgive you. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my pany and I wouldn39。s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn39。I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I39。m buying myself peace of mind and that39。父親在作者小的時候經(jīng)常讓她提前做一些能防止意外發(fā)生的事，因此她懂得珍惜現(xiàn)在所擁有的一切，而且知道自己正在做對的事。根據(jù)第一、二段可知，作者所說的“extra minute”rule是指在遇事時多思考一分鐘，從而可以避免以后遺憾、犯錯或失望，故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的“But then I thought about the fact that he39。t give up an opportunity to see him.”可知，父親說在周五去看眼科醫(yī)生時經(jīng)過作者的辦公室，雖然那天是假日，但作者想到父親八十四了，自己不應(yīng)該放棄每一次見父親的機會，于是又改口說那天上班。故選B。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句and前后連接語意相似成分，由其前“失去一個心愛的人或物”可推知此處是指“后悔放棄一個機會”可知，foregone的意思是“放棄”，故選A。縱觀全文可知，本文敘述了作者通過“extra minute”rule來避免以后說“if only”的情況。所以這篇文章最好的題目是“防止出現(xiàn)if only的情況”，故選B。2．閱讀理解 The scientists invited 36 people of different ages to the lab and had them sit quietly on a fixed bicycle for 10 minutes or, on a separate visit, pedal the bicycle at a pace so gentle that it barely raised their heart rates. It also was short, lasting for only 10 minutes. Immediately after each session of the sitting or slow pedaling, the people pleted a puterized memory test during which they would see a brief picture of, for instance, a tree, followed by a variety of other images and then a new image of either the same tree or a similar one. The people would press buttons to show whether they thought each image was new or the same as an earlier shot. The test is difficult, since many of the images closely resemble one another. It requires rapid, skillful scanning recent memories to decide whether a picture is new or known. Next, the scientists had each people repeat this processriding or sitting on the bike for 10 minutes and then pleting memory testingbut the testing now took place inside an M. R. I. machine(磁共振成像儀)that scanned the people39。 Then the researchers pared results. The effects of the exercise were clear. The people were better at remembering images after they had ridden the bike, especially when the images most closely resembled one another. In other words, the harder their memories had to do their best, the better they performed after the exercise. The M. R. I. scans showed that memory parts of each people39。By filling up questionnaires.B.By paring experiment data.D.The marketers promoting fixed bicycles.B.The white collars doing longterm mental work.D.The light exercise is only good for young people.B.The exercise can coordinate different parts of the body.D.Even ten minutes39。There is no need for humans doing exercise every dayC. light exercise benefits the young mostD.s brains and minds in a long time【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。 （1）細節(jié)理解題。 （2）推理判斷題。因此可推斷這對于長期從事腦力工作的白領(lǐng)們是一個福音。 （3）細節(jié)理解題。故答案選D。根據(jù)第一段可知，本文主要介紹了一項研究成果：短時間的輕柔運動就會提高記憶力水平，故答案選A。 A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itself, thrownaway food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.

They finetune the amount of food to what they will actually eat. H
