If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

2016邯郸市高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习(3)及答案

2016邯郸市高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习(3)及答案

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes, “ our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while conti nuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. “We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while weconjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erase rs while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mi ne on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say th at with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.1. What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet.D. It must include the words on the blackboard.2. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means.A. formed an idea forB. made an outline forC. made some space forD. chose some colors for3. After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class.A. looked very seriousB. thought they would be richC. began to think about their designsD. began to play games4. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize5. We can infer from the passage that the author.A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very muchB. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competition 【参考答案】1--5、DACDC社会生活类Pacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping(思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in—and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.That’s why slight differences in conversational style—tiny little things like microseconds of pause—can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems—even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with herand registered for assertiveness training.1. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.2. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.3. We can learn from the passage that.A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up one’s c onfidence4. The underlined word“assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means.A. being willing to speak one’s mindB. being able to increase one’s powerC. being ready to make one’s own judgmentD. being quick to express one’s ideas confidently【参考答案】66.1-4 CBCD阅读理解Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to $1.01 per pack-smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the c ountry seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years,finding that smokers,especially teens,are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry,which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health,they raise money and most particularly,they deter people from taking up the habit as teens,which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan,for instance,which has the highest tax in the nation,a pack of Marlboro Light Kings,cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston,S.C.,where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation,the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York,high school smoking hit a new low in the latestsurveys-13.8%,far below the national average.Bycomparison,26% of high school students smoke inKentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teensmoking records.Hal Rogers,Representative from Kentucky,like those who areagainst high tobacco taxes,argues that the burden of the tax fallsThat's true.But there is more reason ingetting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults,if the new tax drives them to quit,they will have more to spend on their families,cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】烟草税增加后,取得了立竿见影的效果——许多烟民纷纷戒烟。

The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored b y Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America”, is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learner­friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make­up classes and a number o f lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for anyother course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.1.What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A.Algebra. B.College Mathematics.C.Arithmetic.

The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors(导师). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”1.What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story?A. To prove the author’s view.B. To introduce her situation.C. To present the topic.D. To make readers rethink about the problem.2.What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?A. live with parentsB. live independentlyC. stay at homeD. leave home3.According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?A. It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest.B. They can spend less money on their daily life.C. Moral values are changing gradually.D. Young adults are living in a different life style.4.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?B. Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?D. Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了在,现在和父母同住的年轻人的数量持续增加这一社会现象。

Unit 5 First Aid李仕才一、阅读理解My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations,and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends,she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule,boys drool.” But when th at comfort zone is not around her,she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon(三项全能).On Saturday,with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day,we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her,we got all the equipment she’d need,and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn,she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water,my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim,crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on,sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole family gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s birthday party was delayed.3.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely4.What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and brave【文章大意】本文讲述了“我”的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人,和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞,看到女儿赢得奖牌是作为父母最大的荣耀。

I did it. ”Afterwards, he collected some ballpoint pens, 4to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpoint pens just lay5. He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said6, “Mummy can‟t help you. ”To my surprise, he wouldn‟t listen and continued trying. . . I was dumbfounded by his persistence.My son‟s behaviour reminded me of George who was always7in his work and rarely talked to anyone. To him, 8, there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. Our boss praised9about him and10us to look up to him as a role model.One day I met George. “Gonna work late again tonight? ”“Probably I can‟t leave till midnight, ”he said.“How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety? ”“11. ”“Don‟t you have time to be with your family at all? ”He shook his head slowly and12 a sigh. “It‟s not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It‟s much too13to even think abo ut letting go. ”A year later I resigned. The14thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I‟ve never seen him. But occasionally his aged15would come to my mind.Until that day, 16knowing why the ballpoint pens couldn‟t st and up, the two-year-old son had17the impossibility after many failures.

The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry ab out. But one more has just been added—a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun,scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in .Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter t owards the Earth,causing strong solar storms that could jam t he telecommunications satellites and internet links sending liv e Olympic broadcast from .“The Sun’s activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The O lympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum whi ch could affect the functions of communications satellites,“ sai d Professor Richard Harrison,head of space physics at the Ru therford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle,violent outbursts calledcoronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun’s atmosphere,throwing out great quantitie s of electrically-charged matter. “A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion to ns of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and distur b communications,” Professor Harrison added. The risk is gre atest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest num ber of sunspots.Next week in America,NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Obser vatory(SDO),which will take images of the Sun that are 10 tim es clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of thesolar flares(太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Holdaway,the lab’s director,said that the S DO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Ea rth. “If we have advance warning,we’ll be able to reduce the d amage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a weekwith no idea of what’s caused the problem,” he said.1. The phrase “communications blackout” in Paragraph 1 mos t probably refers to during the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown inD. the destruction of wea ther satellites2. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach E arth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejecti ons.3. According to the passage,NASA will launch a satellite to.A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the communication s on Earth4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be Troubled【参考答案】1—4、BDCD社会生活类阅读理解。
