语鹅市安置阳光实验学校黑龙江2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people's interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. This study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from people's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in Spanish; the study was conducted in Argentina). After these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. They prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people, not just how a person reacts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in the journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C. The assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.44. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Interactions between two people confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. Dogs have good interactions with one another.D. The findings of some studies are controversial.45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Man's Best Friend.B. Be Kind To Your DogC. Dog's Amazing AbilityD. Dogs Are Observing You【参考答案】DABDD【2014高考英语六校联考】A阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Yourparents, while you were a young child? Yourteachers at school? Perhaps even the BBCas a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow youhave developed an understanding of what israpidly becoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangersof“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校湖南（天心区）2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）训练题2016高考训练题----阅读理解。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

If you are hungry, what will you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well, this is the result of using our own karma(宿命)of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. But why is it reading but not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. You have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “how-to” questions. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. The more books you read, the wider your mind will become. Also this improves your speech-making skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. So guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book and let me know!32·What does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?A．We don’t read books． B．Our creativity gets a full stop． C．We don’t know what to do next． D．We don’t have a good memory．33．One’s mind is hungry because it____-A．is mentally busy with many absurd thingsB．can’t work out things wellC．1oosens its freedom to forgetD．begins to pay careful attention to his needs34·Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading?A．Helping you enlarge your vocabulary．B．Helping you develop your creativity．C．Helping you improve your speaking skills．D．Helping you run your eyes through the lines．35．By reading more，we are sure to_______A．speak English fluently B．store books in our mindC．dream the wildest dreams D．perform better mentally in the future参考答案32—35、BADD2016高考训练题----阅读理解。

( A )We don’t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams.But some people are lucky,like Matthew McConaughey.Once almost unknown,the actor has recently found himself back on the listof the best actors in Hollywood.His new movie Interstellar is just another sign that his careerreinvention has been an incredible success.“ The film relies on McConaughey’s performance to hold together the emotional story of a father and his daughter against the background of spacetravel and the end of the world,” Forbes commented.But only years ago,the Texas native was often the butt of jokes (笑柄) about being too handsome.In 1993,after meeting with director Richard Linklater,McConaughey starred in Dazed and Confused.And a Hollywood career was born,mostly in romantic comedies.For a long time,the wholeworld believed McConaughey was just a handsome guy with comic talent.But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie,and began to use his looksdifferently.Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor.In2013,McConaughey was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club.The role saw the normally muscular actor losing50 pounds in order to appear sick.His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor.The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his Oscar acceptance speech.When he was 15,the actor said,he decided that his hero would be himselfin 10 years.But 10 years later,he pushed the deadline ahead another decade.Then 10 yearslater,another decade.“ My hero’ s always 10 years away,”he said.“I’ m never going to attain that.That keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing. ” Or perhaps constantly chasing the chance to be his own hero has given him a second chance to follow his dreams.21.Why was McConaughey often the butt of jokes in his early career?()A.He was limited to handsome roles.B.He was unknown to the audience.C.He played in romantic comedies.D.He was handsome and emotional.22.What role won McConaughey an Oscar for Best Actor?()A.A caring father.B.An AIDS activist.C.A serious buyer.D.A strong hero.23.What can we learn about McConaughey?()A.He was born in Hollywood.B.He has become a hero of his own.C.He wasn ’ t famous until recently.D.He isn ’t content with his achievements.24.Which of the following can be the best title?()A.McConaughey,a Romantic ComedianB.McConaughey,a Man Making a HitC.McConaughey,a Man Daring to changeD.McConaughey,Handsome and Talented( B )Dear Amanda,As the Dean of Yale College,I am writing to congratulate you on your academic success andto introduce you to Yale ’s diverse opportunities....As you consider your college options,I hope that Yale remains among your top choices.This is part of an e-mail I received this fall.I admit it made me feel pretty special tohave Yale,one of the best universities in the world,approach me,a fairly average high schoolsenior from New Jersey.But why me?My grades are nothing to brag about.I didn’ t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Competition.I haven’ t led a team sport or conducted scientific research.Later,I learned that each year,Yale sends mailings to roughly80,000potential students for its freshman class of 1,300.For the class of 2018,Yale rejected 93.7 percent of itsapplicants.And,according to the College Board,95percent of Yale ’ s enrolled(注册入学 )students were in the top 10 percent of their high school classes.Colleges want a top ranking by U.S.News & World Report.One way to get it?Low acceptancerates,which come from attracting lots and lots of applicants— and then rejecting almost all ofthem.So schools mail fancy brochures and send sincere e-mails to many more students than they’ll accept.Top schools defend their marketing,arguing that they’ re reaching students who otherwisemight not apply—because they don’ t think they could get in,or don’ t realize that most top schools offer lots of need-based financial aid.As William Fitzsimmons,dean of Harvardadmissions,said:“There are so many students out there in the world who might not automatically think about Harvard as a place to go.The chances of reaching the top of anything are not good,butis that a reason not to try?”But most of the students Fitzsimmons is talking about don’t consider Harvard because they ’re not academically qualified.Kids like me don’ t need false hope.Approaching students with aslim chance of getting in just creates more confusion and disappointment.So Yale(and Brown and Columbia),stop selling me on impossible dreams.25.Why did Yale send the author an e-mail?()A.To show it ’ s a top college.B.To persuade her to apply to it.C.To introduce its diverse courses.D.To send its congratulations to her.26.The underlined part“brag about” in Paragraph 3 probably means.A.worry aboutB.think aboutC.be proud ofD.be ashamed of27.We can infer from Fitzsimmons’ words that.A.a good beginning makes a good endingB.a brave attempt is a half successC.the older,the wiserD.no pains,no gains28.What does the author think of the approaches of top colleges?()A.She finds them easy to understand.B.She seems satisfied with them.C.She considers them necessary.D.She finds them annoying.(C)If you are a first-time traveler,take a look at some places to visit in Louisiana.Baton RougeThe second largest city in the state,Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana.With theMississippi river to the south,this is a major industrial and commercial center in the southern area.The Louisiana State Capitol area also plays host for the famous“ Mardi Gras” parades.Other places of interest around here are Perkins Rowe,Louisiana State Museum and the Baton Rouge Zoo.New Orleans Museum of ArtLocated in New Orleans,this museum includes some of the finest collections of art.One can particularly see around 50 beautifully carved sculptures on the landscaped garden.The collection mainly includes artworks of French and American origin.This museum is open for students andteachers who can take a tour here or even conduct workshops.National World WarⅡ MuseumThis museumis located in NewOrleans,Louisiana.It has an interesting array of exhibits,which are related to World War Ⅱ .On the 56th anniversary,this museumwas opened to the public.It gives the visitors a glimpse into the political and social life of the days during World WarⅡ .Avery IslandIt is actually a salt dome,which is the home of a rock salt mine in use since the time of the Civil War.The name stands,because in the 1830s this place was the home of the Avery family.It was the American-Indians who discovered the presence of the salt dome here.Avery Island is also famous for the well-known Tabasco pepper sauce.LafayettePopularly known as the Eden of Louisiana,this town is an interesting blend ofSpanish,American,African and Indian cultures.This town resonates with “ unity in diversity”.Some major attractions here include the Acadian village,Lafayette Natural History Museum &Planetarium,Acadian and Creole Folklore and Folklife Center,and the Summer Music Festival inAugust.People here really know how to enjoy themselves and celebrations,dance and music are apart of their lifestyle.29.You can enjoy the following places of interest in Baton Rouge EXCEPT.A.Perkins RoweB.the Acadian villageC.Louisiana State MuseumD.the Baton Rouge Zoo30.Which museum specially welcomes teachers and students?()A.Louisiana State Museum.B.New Orleans Museum of Art.C.National World WarⅡ Museum.fayette Natural History Museum & Planetarium.31.Which place is known as the Eden of Louisiana?()A.Baton Rouge.B.New Orleans.fayette.D.Avery Island.( D )What exactly is intelligence?There aren’ t any easy answers.Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology,human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science,until now,that is,for the discovery of a gene( 基因 )linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US havebeen looking into genetic make-up.From their research,they have discovered that a slightlydifferent gene is more common in those with a high IQ.Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of51 children aged between 6 and 15.What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136,putting them in the top 5% of the population,while the other group had an average IQ of 103.An analysisof their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question,whileonly 16%in the second group did.However,there is a lot more research to be done,and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage.He suggests that there are probably many genes that contributeto intelligence,rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success,although somepsychologists remain unconvinced about this.Professor Michael Rowe,who has written a book called Genius Explained,is one of these.“ The people with the highest IQs are not usually the oneswho do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence,IQ isn ’ t everything.Many alternative views have been put forward recently.One example is the idea of multipleintelligences,which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner.This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory,including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.Tony Buzan,brain expert and author of Master your Memory,is enthusiastic about thisbelief,arguing that true geniuses(天才 )do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence.He lists Alexander the Great,Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples.At thesame time,Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence,only if they take thetrouble to exercise their brain.Perhaps there’ s hope for us all!32.What is the topic of the passage?()A.The relationship between genes and intelligence.B.IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C.How to develop intelligence.D.What makes intelligence.33.Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?()A.To make a suggestion.B.To draw a conclusion.C.To prove an idea.D.To give an example.34.What can we learn from the passage?()A.Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B.Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C.Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D.Tony Buzan agrees geniuses exercise brain to improve intelligence.35.What does the underlined word“ This ” in Paragraph 4 refer to?()A.The development of intelligence.B.The idea of multiple intelligences.C.IQ isn ’ t everything for intelligence.D.Alternative views have been put forward.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分 10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling。

I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet。

But take a look at the present rebellion。

It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly（大胆地）on their own，most of them are clutching at （紧握）one another’s hands for reassurance。

They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in musil. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record。

Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it。

高中英语真题-2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练(6)_2

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练（6）[史地自然型阅读理解(一)]Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are lik e the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have transl ated some of their squirrelspeak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm c alls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played the m back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached i ndividually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and be came alert(警惕的)．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their l ives and dived into caves.“In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say ‘there's an e nemy of average threat that's here’， and whistles without ch ucks say ‘there's an enemy of seemingly average threat arou nd here somewhere’， while pure chirps say, ‘I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.’” Hare told.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other co mmunication systems.Although squirrels risktheir lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other s quirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the call er's social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare ad ded that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit fro m the alarm calls.In fact, another Canadian study found that deepvoiced, blackc apped chickadees have their own language, too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact betwe en mates, and raising alarms.While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into g ardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pe sts(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex soci al lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop do ing harm to these animals”．1．The text mainly talks about ________．A．the study on the language of squirrelsB．the comparison between squirrels and chickadees C．the calling for the protection of squirrelsD．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies2．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would proba bly make ________．A．whistles with chucksB．pure chirpsC．whistles without chucksD．repeated chucks3．The underlined word “tidings” in Paragraph 6 probably me ans “________”．A．difficulties B．poisesC．messages D．languages4．What can be learned from this text?A．Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do. B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls. C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirr els.D．Birds such as chickadees don't have their own language.(二)【要点综述】本文主要讲了Hare以及他带领的团队对松鼠们所使用的语言进行的研究。

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well－deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.56．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A.

He was sorry for the other applicants.B. There was no hope for him to get the job.C. He regretted helping the old man.D. The interviewer was very rude.60．What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?A. Where there's a will, there's a way.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Good is rewarded with good.D. Two heads are better than one.【要点综述】这是一篇记叙文。

Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.七选五36-40DACFG(2013·第三次质检)Relationships make or break us. From the quality of our family time to our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsiblefor our career success or failure. Here are some guidelines.People who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. Instead，they should become good listeners and encourage others to talk about themselves.All the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. Plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.Give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. Besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his expert knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.Try to use conflict as a tool，not a weapon. The presence of conflict in a relationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.Relationships break up quickly when others can't count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. If you aren't naturally gifted in this area, don't worry. You can learn to improve them in your life and career.1．relationship2．focus/concentration/center3．impress4．Displaying/Showing5．positive6．Turning/Referring7．appropriate8．strengthen/improve/enhance9．reliable/honest10．professionally[阅读理解之信息匹配(二)]-----A阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

湖南湘潭县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解基础选编(2)及答案

湖南湘潭县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解基础选编（2）及答案高考英语阅读理解提升全程训练及答案阅读理解When you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation。

You will likely ask the question：“Can I find a we ll-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future？"This consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities （人文学科) at college. People generally believe that the humanities，which include literature ，history，cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation （职业)。

Science subjects，however，are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家）。

“I've decided to take finance as my college major。

My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said Huachen Yueru，17, a science student at Wuxi No. 1 High School.Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科）education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job。
