Unit 5 The power of natureⅠ.阅读理解AJack Armstrong sat up in the secondhand hospital bed that had been placed into a corner of his home in Cleveland.Jack had been in the military for five years when the war in the Middle East started.He’d survived his firs t tour in Afghanistan and earned a Purple Heart.After that he’d weathered several tours of duty in Iraq,one of which included the destruction of his Humvee while he was still inside.That injury had won him his second Purple.And he had a Bronze Star on top of that for rescuing three fellow soldiers and nearly getting killed in the process.After all that,here he was,dying fast in his house in Ohio.His goal was simple:just hang on until Christmas.He sucked greedily on the oxygen coming from the line in his nose.Jack knew that one day soon it would be turned off because he’d be dead.Before Thanksgiving he was certain he would last another month.Now Jack was not sure he could make another day.But he would.“I have to,” He thought to himself.“Jack,Jack honey?”His wife Lizzie was bending down in front of him.She was still beautiful,though her looks had taken on a fragile edge.There were dark circles under her eyes and recently stamped worry lines on her face.Jack was the one dying,but in a way she was too.His youngest child,Mike,toddled(蹒跚) in and climbed on his dad’s lap,resting his head against Father’s sunken chest.Jack slowly slid his arm around his two-year-old son.Little fat fingers grasped his forearm,and warm breath touched his skin.It felt like the sharp point of needles,but Jack simply gritted(咬紧) his teeth and didn’t move his arm because there wouldn’t be many more of these embraces.He slowly turned his head and looked out of the window,where the snow was steadily falling.It was truly beautiful.He too k his wife’s hand.“Christmas,” Jack said in a breathless voice.“I’ll be there.”“Promise?” said Lizzie,her voice beginning to break.“Promise.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。

2019届高考英语一轮复习 (16)阅读理解 主旨大意(二)
阅读理解：主旨大意（二）AYou might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation. The citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 812 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country's drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (减少温室效应气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years，” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”．篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

2019高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（33）（2019高考训练）阅读理解。
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society.Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment.Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things. However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”，efficiency comes with a price.When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes.With the communication gadgets,_such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off. With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done.However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example, many handicrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has onsociety.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on people's attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new“past” is created.1.The underlined word “gadgets” in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to“________”.A.toolsB.messagesC.barriersD.skillspared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products________.ck great accuracyck the personal touchC.are of high valueD.are quite welcome3.What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4?A.It can destroy old traditions.B.It can lead to social progress.C.It can be used to correct mistakes.D.It can be used to preserve old products.4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B.People review the past with great regret.C.Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D.People's attitude decides the use of technology.1．解析：选A 词义猜测题。

Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children.

Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。

Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate，then group training is an even better option for you.It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision(监管) of a fitness instructor.If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored，you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track.Don’t let fitness frighten you!If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle，it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldn’t scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift，encourage and understand you！Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class，with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar！Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First，decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.1.The first paragraph focuses on .A.the greatest challenge of group exerciseB.the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC.the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups答案 C解析细节理解题。

课时提能练(三十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·湖南衡阳二模，B)By the time Robert Porter Allen was born in 1905, the whooping crane(鸣鹤) was already in trouble. The beautiful bird was once commonly found across North America. By 1941, the whooping crane population had dwindled to the double digits.The tallest species in North America were critically endangered.In the 1940's, the remaining cranes migrated (迁徙) every year from the Gulf Coast of Texas to somewhere in the north of Canada to breed (繁殖)．The conservation community didn't know where the birds went. The wetlands where they used to spend winters were growing rarer and rarer as they were dried and built on, and the birds were dying in large numbers on the long migration flight. A tiny, nonmigrating group of whooping cranes was alive in Louisiana in 1941, but the group had disappeared by the time Allen started his research.In 1942, Allen undertook the whooping crane project. Over the next three years, he did almost constant field work that took him from Texas up the cranes' migration route to Nebraska, and on into Saskatchewan in search of the nesting ground of the birds.Studying the bird in its breeding habitat and seeing how many birds were born would allow conservationists to understand how to help the birds on their journey. But finding the whooping crane's nesting site meant difficult and fruitless air searches over northern Canada.In 1952, Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane.The report was a warning call to the conservation community：only 33 migrator? “whoopers” remained, and their nesting site still hadn't been found. Two years later, the whooping crane's breeding grounds in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park were finally found, and Allen headed north to study them firsthand，an “incredibly difficult journey，”in Sprunt's words. Allen's work laid the groundwork for conservationists to save the birds.Their efforts paid off as the numbers reached 57 by 1970 and 214 by 2005. Today, the whooping crane is still listed as endangered, but there are roughly 600 birds alive.【语篇解读】本文为记叙文，讲述了一名动物保护者保护濒危动物鸣鹤的故事。
