“America’s No.1 Health Problem.” So reads the headline of an article published by the American Institute of Stress that claims the biggest threat to health today is neither cancer nor AIDS. Ther eport says: “It has been estimated（估计）that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”It is no exaggeration（夸张）to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers L eague, “Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problems and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict and terrorism (4%).”However, stress is hardly unique to the United States. A British survey in 2005 estimated that “over half a million individuals in Britain believed in 2004 that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill.” As a result of “work-related stress, depression or anxiety,” there are “an estimated thirteen and a half million reported lost working days per year in Britain.”The picture is no less bleak in mainland Europe. According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, “work-related stress has been shown to affect millions of European workers across all types of employment sectors.” One survey reveale d that there are “about 41 million workers affected by work-related stress each year.”What about Asia? A rep ort issued by a conference held in Tokyo concluded: “Job stress is a common concern among many countries in the world, both developing and industrialized countries.” The report observed that “several countries in East Asia, including China and Korea, have rapidly industrialized and economically grown. These countries now have a lot of concerns on job stress and its harmful effects on workers’ health.”1. The author quoted “America’s No.1 Health Problem.” (Para. 1) in order to ______.A. talk about health problems in AmericaB. introduce the topic of stressC. emphasize the stress in AmericaD. tell readers something about American Institute of Stress答案解析：答案为B。

重庆市万州市2016高考英语二轮：阅读理解精练（4）答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Anoth er thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell ahouse, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1.What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2.The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3.Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Becaus e critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”.C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.D. Because customers pay more.4.Which of the following is Not True?A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.B. We can buy what we want.C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.D. Advertisement makes our life colorful.5.The passage isA. Narration.B. Description.C. Criticism.D.

Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabota ge the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.1.What were the demonstrators protesting about?[A] Private profits.Nuclear Power Station.[C] The project of nuclear power construction.[D] Public peril.2.Who had gas-masks?[A] Everybody.A part of the protestors.[C] Policemen.[D] Both B and C.3.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?[A] Public transportation.Public peril.[C] Pollution.[D] Disposal of wastes.4.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?[A] With prisoners.With arrested demonstrators.[C] With criminals.[D] With protestors.5.What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?[A] stubborn.insistent.[C] insolvable.[D] remissible.Vocabulary1.tear gas 瓦斯2.passively resisting protestor 不抵抗的抗议者3.stage 发起，举行，上演4.break up 驱散，终止5.cordon 警戒线，警戒6.nuke （美俚）核武器，核电站7.defy 公然蔑视/反抗8.canister 罐，筒，榴霰弹筒9.islodge 赶走10.charge 冲锋，向前冲11.trespass 非法侵入，扰乱难句译注1.Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States.【结构简析】句中间用in an attempt介词短语和staged分词使句子变长。

When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 square－foot mansion.

高考英语二轮复习专题07阅读理解Ⅳ：篇章结构题(练)(含解析)(new)

专题7 阅读理解Ⅳ：篇章结构题1.[2016·北京卷]DWhy college is not homeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity。

However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities。

For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within。

In the past two decades， however， continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media，have increased significantly。

Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home。

A new planet-hunting technique has detected the most earth-like planet yet around a star other than our sun, raising hopes of finding a space rock that might support life, astronomers (天文学家) reported recently.“This is an important discovery to answer the question ‘Are we alone?’” said Michael Turner of the National Science Foundation.“The team has discovered the most earth-like planet yet, and more importantly, has proved the power of a new technique that is sensitive (灵敏的) to detecting planets that are fit for people to live on,” Turner said in a statement.In the last decade, astronomers have detected more than 160 planets moving around stars outside our solar system. Most of these have been gas giant planets like Jupiter, which are unfit for life.But an international team has detected a cold planet about 5.5 times more massive than the earth — still small enough to be considered earth-like —moving around a star about 20,000 light years away, close to the center of the Milky Way.To find this new planet, the team used a technique called gravitational microlensing (引力微观透镜法). When a planet is circling the closest star, the planet’s gravity can add its own signature to the light. This kind of light signature was observed on July 11 by a group of telescopes in a project known as OGLE, short for Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment.“The main advantage of microlensing is the signals for low-mass planets: They’re not weak signals. They’re just rare,” Bennett of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana said by telephone. “If there happens to be a straight line between a foreground star with its planet and the background source star, then you’re able to detect that planet.”1. The underlined word “detected” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.A. discoveredB. destroyedC. createdD. searched2. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____.A. prove that scientists have a lot of difficulties in doingscientific researchB. explain why this planet moves around a star like our sunC. teach the readers some basic knowledge about the universeD. tell people about a new technique that finds the most earth-likeplanet moving round another star3. From the news report we can infer that _________.A. the planet is like the earth because it is close to the center of the Milky WayB. it is quite possible that life may exist on other planets in the universeC. people have no interest in finding a planet that might support lifeD. the question “Are we alone” is too difficult for scientists to answer4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The signals coming from low-mass planets are too weak to be noticed.B. Most of the discovered planets are not fit for people to live on.C. If a star with its planet happens to be in line with the source star,then the planet can be found.D. The power of the new technique is proved by the discovery of the earth-like planet.参考答案1—4、ADB A阅读理解。

真题典例【2011·广东卷】ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every waypossible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the ki ndness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other dr ivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.( )1.The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ________. A．they offer their helpB．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindnessD．they show their weakness( )2.The author feels sad sometimes because ________.A．he has a soft heartB．he relies much on othersC．some people pretend to be kindD．some people fail to see the kindness in others( )3.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A．They speeded up to pass.B．They waited with patience.C．They tried their best to help.D．They put on their flashlights too.( )4.In this passage, the author advises us to ________.A．handle problems by ourselvesB．accept help from othersC．admit our weaknessD．show our bravery( )5.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．A Wheelchair Experience.B．Weakness and Kindness.C．Weakness and Strength.D．A Driving Experience.【解析】本文是一篇议论文。

高考英语二轮复习阅读理解精炼(4)高三全册英语试题 (2)

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解精炼（4）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children –conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures –airy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-tale, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind. There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobbly knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can better be overcome in aco-educational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a co-educational system. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problemsthat face men and women.1.What is the best title for this passage?[A] only co-education can be in harmony with society.people are in great need of co-education.[C] any form of education other than co-education is simply unthinkable.[D] co-education has many features.2.what does co-education offer to children?[A] A society.A true small model of society.[C] A real life.[D] True version of social condition.3.According to the passage, what is one of the chief aims of education?[A] It is for students to acquire knowledge.It is to equip future citizens with scientific technology.[C] It is to equip future citizens with what is required in getting a position in society.[D] It is for students to get academic achievements.4.Why do boys and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?[A] They live together and know each other too well.Years of living together at school dismiss such illusion.[C] co-education encourage them to have an healthy attitude toward life. [D] They are familiar with each other’s problems.Vocabulary1.to be in for = receive 接受He is in for punishment. 他受到惩罚。

高中英语真题-2016高考英语阅读理解(二轮)精练(4)_1

2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）精练（4）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

What would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first sensible lesson is that you shouldn’t bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until dawn. Be cause then you won’t trip over things? No, mainly because yo u’ll have an idea of direction. The sun rises in the east. But yo u will be amazed at how many people forget they know that. A pparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter — they are thick, and evergreen. The next t hing to do — or rather not to do — is panic, for the obvious re ason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, i t will get you nowhere. Just try to think of nice, happy things. There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in t he desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱水的) and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle. It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths o f your legs. Experiments prove that, without the sun or the mo on (or landmarks) as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add upover time so the brain can’t correctly identify the “straight ahe ad” direction. To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by f ar the best is to establish north using the stars. Most people c an identify the Plough, which is part of Ursa Major. It looks a l ot like a saucepan. The Plough rotates through the sky, but let ’s imagine the saucepan lying horizontally (水平地), with its handle on the left. You need to trace a line from th e star at the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim (边沿), and follow it upwards; the north star is roughly five times t he distance between those two “pointer” stars. Then drop a ve rtical line from the North Star to the horizon and that’s north.“Tonight is very cloudy and I can’t see the Plough.” Maybe luc kily, it is quite windy. Keep in mind that almost all of our weath er comes from a south-westerly direction. (This only works if you are in the British Isl es). To find the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there a re clouds and patches of clear sky, see which way they blow across the stars. You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants. If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east. If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, t here’s a good chance that is south (they will be reaching towa rds the sun). The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go.12. What might be the best title of the passage ?A. How to survive in the forestB. How to protect yourself in the forestC.

2016高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（4）写人记事（阅读理解）It was Saturday.As always,it was a busy one,for “Six days sha ll you labor and do all your work”was taken seriously back the n.Outside,Father and Mr.Patrick next door were busy choppin g firewood.Inside their own houses,Mother and Mrs. Patrick w ere engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites.Now,even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat c arpets,they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线).It s eemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fl y today.My mother looked at the sitting room,its furniture disordered f or a thorough sweeping.Again she cast a look toward the win dow. “Come on,girls!Let’s take string to the boys and watch th em fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick,laughing guiltily as if she wer e doing something wrong,together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and h igher.We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites.Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back,watching it dancing up and down in the wind,and fin ally bringing it down to earth,just for the joy of sending it up ag ain.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us.Our mother s took their turn,laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all b eside ourselves.Parents forgot their duty and their dignity;chil dren forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies.“Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,”I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses.I suppose we had some sort of supper.I suppose ther e must have been a surface tidying-up,for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was,we didn’t mention that day afterward.I f elt a little embarrassed.Surely none of the others had been as excited as I.I locked the memory up in that deepest part of m e where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on,then one day I was hurrying about my kitc hen in a city apartment,trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park,see duck.”“I can’t go!”I said.“I have this and this to do,and when I’m thro ugh I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother,who was visiting us,looked up from the peas she w as shelling.“It’s a wonderful day,”she offered,“really warm,yet t here’s a fine breeze.Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink.The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories.“Come on,”I told my little girl.“You’re right,it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed.We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war.All evening we had been asking our returne d soldier,the youngest Patrick Boy,about his experiences as a prisoner of war.He had talked freely,but now for a long time h e had been silent.What was he thinking of — what dark and h orrible things?“Say!”A smile slipped out from his lips.“Do you remember — n o,of course you wouldn’t.It probably didn’t make the impressio n on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak.“Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营),when things weren’t too good.Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”1.Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought.A.she was too old to fly kitesB.her husband would make fun of herC.she should have been doing her housework thenD.her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game2.By “we were all beside oursel ves”,the writer means that the y all .A.felt confusedB.went wild with joyC.looked onD.forgot their fights3.What did the writer think after the kite-flying?( )A.The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B.They should have finished their work before playing.C.Her parents should spend more time with them.D.All the others must have forgotten that day.4.Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an ou ting?( )A.She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B.She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C.She had finished her work in the kitchen.D.She thought it was a great day to play outside.5.The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that .A.the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB.his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC.childhood friendship means so much to the writerD.people like him really changed a lot after the war语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。

SCS Global Services （SCS）has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration（封存）ability of soil under the Verified（验证）Carbon Standard （VCS）, a leading greenhouse gas （GHG）accounting system. The methodology, developed by The Earth Partners, will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing（放牧）practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups. The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.“The VCS program has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset（抵消，补偿）projects," said Dr. Robert J. Hrubes, Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists. The methodology was developed by The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services, Inc. as well as SCS Global Services. It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS."This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market," said Steven I. Apfelbaum, Chairman of Applied Ecological Services, Inc. and Director of Science with The Earth Partners. According to Apfelbaum, soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.1. The new methodology is assessed according to.A. The Earth PartnersB. the Verified Carbon StandardC. Environmental Services, Inc.D. Applied Ecological Services, Inc.2.

浙江瑞安县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解能力精练(4）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项。

Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities。

We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance。

However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people。

How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）？If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you。

The person who doesn't like you might be fearful，or shallow, or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（5）阅读理解-------ATelepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy.We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who's contacting you. Don't guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s uncounscious mind.Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm.1. When does telepathy occur?A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.D. It occurs when one doesn’t know a stranger.答案解析：答案为A。
