2023届高考英语一轮复习语法总动员之阅读理解（7）1.McDonald's is partnering with the White House to promote vaccination(疫苗接种) information on its coffee cups as hesitancy grows about taking the potentially life-saving shot.Beginning in July, customers in the United States will see redesigned McCafe cups and delivery seal stickers that features "We Can Do This," a slogan created by the US Department of Health and Human Services to promote vaccine confidence. It also includes a website address (vaccines.gov) that directs people to nearby appointments and safety information.The promotion will last several weeks and the slogan will be printed on roughly 50 million cups. Prior to that, McDonald's (MCD) said its billboard in New York's Times Square location will also display vaccine information beginning in mid-May."We all want to protect ourselves and our loved ones and be together with our communities again," said Genna Gent, McDonald's USA vice president for global public policy and government relations. Xavier Becerra, the Health and Human Services secretary, said, “The public-private partnership will help more people make informed decisions about their health and learn about steps they can take to protect themselves and their communities." McDonald's wasn't paid by the government for this promotion, according to a person familiar with the campaign.The "We Can Do This" campaign was announced in March and aimed at encouraging hesitant Americans to get vaccinated. In a Kaiser Family Foundation survey, 47% of people who say they want to "wait and see" before being vaccinated said paid time off to get it would make them more likely to do so, and 39% said a financial allowance of $200 from their employer would work.The US vaccination rate has declined from its peak last month, pushing officials to work out new ideas to further encourage the cautious, hesitant and inaccessible to get vaccinated. So far, more than 150 million people in the US have received at least one dose(剂量) of the vaccine.1.Why does McDonald’s redesign its McCafe cups?A. To promote its coffee sales.  B.

Perhaps you know, too, the surprise that ensues(接着发生)when that baby does not fit any of the newborn clothes you so carefully selected and washed in advance--or grows out of them within weeks. Meanwhile, the clothes are in good condition.That’s where a new approach to clothes shopping could come in handy. Subscription and rental services aimed specifically at parents and young children are popping up across the United States and Europe.Elizabeth Bennet writes for Eco Age that reselling children’s clothes can save up to 75% of the carbon footprint associated with producing an item of clothing. Considering that children go through at least ten sizes before the age of three, and an average of 900 items in total throughout an entire childhood, there is great potential to reduce the environment impact of clothing with the help of these new services.Circos is a Europe-based company that ships internationally and rents out clothes for babies and pregnant mothers on a pay-by-month basis. You get a basic subscription and pay for whatever items you want to rent on top of that. Circos says its pieces are used by 8 to 10 families on average, which is considerably more than the typical two-to-three-month lifespan of baby and toddler clothing .Company founder Laura Roso Vidrequin said, “ There is nothing new in buying old and selling old. I’m just shouting about it and making it accessible.” She sees it as an extension of the sharing economy, which is only going to get bigger as years go by.Some parents may be worried about rental clothes getting damaged or worn out, but the companies are prepared for that. They reassure customers that wear and tear is a normal part of infancy and childhood and that if an item suffers damage, it could be relisted at a lower price than before. The goal isn’t to keep the clothing circulating forever, but just longer than it would if each household were buying it independently.8.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a newly emerging service.B. To point out the future of clothing industry.C. To call on people to buy earth-friendly clothes.D. To show young parents’ attitude toward parenting.9.What might be Elizabeth Bennett’s opinion according to the passage?A. Parents spend too much on babies. B. Baby clothes needn’t use good material.C. There is a potential market behind babies and women. D. Clothing industry can also cause pollution.10.How will Circos deal with second-hand baby clothes?A. They will be donated.  B. They will be rented out. C. They will be recycled.  D. They will be thrown away.11.Which of the following is parents’ concern about the rented clothes?A. The clothes may not fit well.B. The clothes may be too expensive.C. They are afraid that the rental clothes are in bad condition.D. Children may feel uncomfortable when wearing the rented clothes.4.Four Inspiring Movies    Forrest Gump(1992)    Forrest Gump(Tom Hanks) is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent(动荡的)times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a "Weird Al" song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.    It's a Wonderful Life(1946)    No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past.

Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.    I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.    I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.    I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.    I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.18.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A.She could change her weight at will.B.She had different beauty standards from others.C.She tried to love others to build her confidence.D.She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.19.Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A.She was poorly disciplined. B.She failed to celebrate “skinny”.C.She was labelled as lazy for her weight. D.She put on more weight after entering adulthood.20.What caused the author to make a change?A.Her lighter body.  B.A troublesome illness.C.Popular beauty standards. D.Others' critical comments.21.What is the best title for the text?A.Beauty matters.  B.Opinions vary.C.Worth your weight.  D.Beyond your limits.7.4 Art/Design Competitions for High Schoolers    Ready to sign up for a competition?

And there is a clear reason for it. Lotus leaves are round and large and it is almost impossible to get them wet. You may splash as much water as you want on a lotus leaf, but the droplets immediately roll off. What makes this water plant’s leaves water repellent (防水剂)?Scientists have always known that aquatic (水生的) leaves secrete or give out wax crystals (蜡质结晶). These crystals help prevent the leaves from getting flooded with the water around the leaves. They also help the leaves gain the required amount of moisture. The leaves are able to do this because wax resists water. Now the scientists have discovered that these leaf surfaces have an amazing ability to clean themselves. Scientists at the University of Bonn carried out extensive research to show that the water droplets rolling off a lotus leaf carry away dirt particles, leaving the surface perfectly clean. This phenomenon has been named the “Lotus Effect” and works best on rough surfaces. A report on the scientists’ study was published in the journal “Planta”.Contrary to popular belief, lotus leaves are not smooth at all. When examined under a powerful microscope, the leaf cells show a bumpy surface. That makes the surface rough. As a result, dirt particles rest only on the tips of wax crystals coating the leaf surface. The roughness reduces the contact area between the particles (颗粒) and the leaf surface. A rough surface structure with wax crystals makes it impossible for water to stick. Due to the friction, the water contracts at once. It forms spherical droplets to minimise the contact area with the rough, waxy leaf surface and runs off the leaf very quickly. Since the dirt particles only rest on the tips of the wax crystals, they stick more strongly to the water droplets than to the leaf surfaces. They are washed away when the water falls on the leaves.25.What is one significance of wax crystals on leaves?A. Maintaince of heat.  B. Resistance of water.C. Protection from insects. D. Protection of the surface.26.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. Lotus Effect.  B. The leaves’ size.C. The leaves’ shape.  D. The leaves’ surfaces.27.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The leaves’ surface makes water stay. B. Water droplets can absorb wax crystals.C. Waterdrops carry off the dirt on leaves. D. Wax crystals don’t allow dirt to rest on leaves.28.What’s a suitable title for the text?A. How the Lotus Leaf Cleans Itself B. What the Function of Wax CrystalsC. Why the Lotus Has a Rough Surface D. Scientists’ Research about Wax Crystals
