河北省唐山市2021届高三英语二模试卷(含听力音频)

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For much of history, reading was a fairly noisy activity. Today, however, the majority of us bottle the words in our heads as if (sit) in a library.

Recent studies provide ample evidence  the ancient art of reading aloud has a number of benefits, from helping improve our memories strengthening emotional bonds between people.

According to a research on the impacts of reading on memory, people consistently remember words and texts (well) if reading them aloud than if reading them silently. This phenomenon has been named the "production effect", which means that producing (write) words-namely, reading them out loud-improves our memory of them. Even just silently mouthing the words makes  more memorable.

One reason why people remember the spoken words better is that it gives us  additional basis for memory. We are (general) better at recalling events that require active involvement. For instance, producing a word in (respond) to a question makes it easier to remember.

In time when our interactions with others and the large amount of information we take in (be) all too transient (转瞬即逝的) , perhaps it is worth making bit more time for reading out loud.

Why Does Rain Smell So Good?

    Do you love the smell of rain? If so, you're not alone.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(actual), some scientists believe that people got their love for the smell of rain from {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(ancestor), who relied on wet weather for their survival.

    But what makes rain smell so nice? There are several smells associated with rainfall that people find pleasing.

    One of these smells {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) “petrichor(尘土的味道).” Petrichor, a term created in 1964 by two Australian scientists studying the smells of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(rain) weather, comes from some chemical reactions.

    During dry periods some plants produce oils, and when it rains, these oils go into the air. Another reaction occurs when chemicals {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(produce) by some bacteria are sent out. All of these chemicals combine to create the pleasant particular smell when rain hits {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ground.

    Another smell associated with rain is ozone(臭氧). During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and another gad and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(it) in turn can combine into a new substance. This substance reacts with other chemicals to form ozone, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} has a sharp smell.

    When someone says he can smell rain coming, it may be that wind from an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(approach) storm has carried ozone down from the clouds and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the man's nose.
