2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(7)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)According to game maker Hasbro,approximately 750 million people have played the wellknown game Monopoly since it was invented in the 1930s.Charles Darrow is typically credited as the inventor of the world’s most famous board game.However, he likely originated his version of Monopoly from one of several other games similarly involving house buying and selling that were already in existence before the 1930s when he got his patent(专利) for the game.A probable reason that Darrow’s Monopoly became the hugely successful game that still exists today is that he took a great approach to producing it.Other similar games existed, but they had no board or regulation pieces.With the help of his wife and son, who decorated the sets with details, Darrow personally created the pieces and boards that became the first Monopoly game sets.His extra work in creating the entire environment that players needed gave his game something extra that other variations did not have.Darrow had success in selling his games in various parts of the country.Several Philly area stores were the first to carry his game and sell it in large quantities.However, Darrow had difficulty selling his game to the major game producer of the time, Parker Brothers.He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal.Eventually, the continued sales he managed on his own forced Parker Brothers to reassess the worth of his game.In the end, the company agreed to produce the game and shortly afterwards it became the bestselling game in the country.That success turned Charles Darrow into a millionaire, which is the heavy irony.Darrow initially began work on Monopoly to help support himself and his family following the financial troubles tied to the stock market crash of 1929.Thus, Charles Darrow became a millionaire by producing a game that allows “regular” people to feel like they are buying and selling real homes and land like millionaires.1.What made Darrow’s Monopoly different from other similar games?A.The way of avoiding financial troubles.B.The safe environment created for players.C.The buying and selling of real homes and land.D.The specific pieces and a playing board in each set.2.The author suggests in Paragraph 3 that ________.A.Monopoly was initially too complex to playB.Darrow failed to make expected profit in PhillyC.certain errors in Monopoly limited its attractionD.some people once doubted Monopoly would be popular3.What does the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph mean?A.Financial gain. B.Unexpected result.C.Marketing plan. D.Unsatisfying reward.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.The difficulties in Darrow’s life.B.The comparison of some board games.C.The way to the success of Darrow’s game.D.The business management of Parker Brothers.B(2015·东北三校二模)The National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.has thousands of objects on display,including the 1903 Wright Flyer, Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St.Louis, the

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(6)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·石家庄二中一模)We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it.Just today, someone boasted to me that she was so busy that she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks.She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’re in the midst of a bubble.I call it “The More Bubble”.The nature of bubbles is that something is absurdly overvalued until—eventually—the bubble bursts, and we’re left wondering why we were so irrationally animated in the first place.The thing we are overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism.The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and,therefore, what we should be doing.In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of course, we boasted about being busy—it’s code for being successful and important.And our answer to the problem of more is always more.We need more technology to help us create more technologies.We need to shift our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.Luckily, there is a solution to the pursuit of more: the pursuit of less, but better, a growing number of people are making this change.I call these people Essentialists.These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else.These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They created technology-free zones in their homes.They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them.Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their calendars to get important work done.So we have two choices:We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”,or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.1.When the woman said for two weeks she only slept for four hours a night,________.A.she was unsatisfied with her lifestyleB.she was asking for suggestionsC.she took pride in doing soD.she knew few people were like her2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly for?A.The cause and result of “The More Bubble”.B.The advantages of “The More Bubble”.C.The solutions to “The More Bubble”.D.The new trends of “The More Bubble”.3.According to the article, Essentialists are those who ________.A.give up certain things for what matters in lifeB.prefer to change frequentlyC.are tired of information and opinionsD.are eager to become successful and important4.We can infer from the article that the author________“The More Bubble”.A.is supportive of B.is undecided aboutC.disapproves of D.wonders aboutⅡ.完形填空(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)Monday started out great.I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math __1__.Ten minutes later,I sat by my friends on the bus.We were busily chatting about how we spent our__2__when, THUMP! Ryan __3__over someone’s foot and landed flat on his face in the passage between the two rows of seats.Everyone on the bus laughed crazily.Ryan __4__himself up and made his way to an empty seat.He tried to laugh with us, but his face was bright red with__5__.The rest of the morning flew by.I did well in my math test.I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class.It wasn’t long before the __6__bell sounded.I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.Then I couldn’t help but __7__Ryan a few tables over,sitting alone.He caught me looking.I smiled at him quickly and turned away.When we finished eating, we __8__out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we wanted to do at that night’s football game.After a little __9__,we nailed the cheer, so we decided we only needed to__10__through it one last time.Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great.I raised my leg __11__ one last toe(脚趾) touch.RIIIPPP! I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.I__12__.I didn’t know what to do but stayed still.Then I heard people laughing, and I saw them pointing.Trying to__13__myself with my hands,I tried to__14__too, but I felt tears began to escape from my eyes.Then I saw Ryan walking toward me.I remembered earlier that morning when he had fallen and I had laughed at him.This would be his __15__to return the favor.But he didn’t.__16__,Ryan offered me his jacket to cover up my __17__jeans.He also offered me his phone so that I could call my mom to bring me some __18__.I thanked Ryan for his help.And a few days later when I saw him again,I apologized for laughing at him on the bus.Ryan regarded it as no big deal, but my own __19__experience and Ryan’s kind response taught me about __20__ for others.Thanks to Ryan,I can honestly say that Monday was still a great day!1.A.test B.lessonC.work D.book2.A.term B.moneyC.energy D.weekend3.A.tripped B.turnedC.took D.crossed4.A.set B.putC.picked D.added5.A.appreciation B.embarrassmentC.surprise D.disappointment6.A.alarm B.churchC.lunch D.door7.A.notice B.meetC.hear D.call8.A.drove B.slippedC.danced D.headed9.A.guidance B.practiceC.struggle D.discussion10.A.lead B.walkC.go D.flow11.A.for B.inC.to D.on12.A.jumped B.smiledC.shook D.froze13.A.clean B.coverC.push D.help14.A.point B.laughC.play D.return15.A.hope B.dutyC.chance D.aim16.A.Instead B.OtherwiseC.Therefore D.However17.A.long B.tornC.tight D.worn18.A.socks B.jacketsC.coats D.jeans19.A.positive B.broadC.common D.shameful20.A.patience B.expectationC.sympathy D.admirationⅢ.语法填空As the plane circled over the airport, everyone sensed that something was wrong.The plane was moving 1.____________(steady) through the air, and although the passengers 2.____________(fasten) their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward.At that moment, the airhostess presented.She looked very pale, but was quite clam.3.____________(speak) quickly and almost in a whisper, she informed everyone that the pilot had fainted and asked if4.____________ of the passengers knew anything about machines.After a moment’s5.____________(hesitate), a man got up and followed the hostess into the pilot’s cabin.Moving the pilot aside, the man took his seat and listened carefully to the urgent instructions that6.____________(send) by radio from the airport below.To everyone’s relief, the plane, which was7.____________(dangerous) close to the ground at the moment, soon began to climb.The man had to circle the airport several times to become familiar 8.____________ the controls of the plane.The critical moment came 9.____________he had to land.The man, 10.____________(follow) the instructions, guided the plane toward the airfield, and it landed safely after a long run along the runway.第二十二组Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了一种在人们行为表现中出现的不正常现象——“The More Bubble”——的成因及解决方法。

It’s not something I’d like to do,so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading,in England,has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined (实行检疫) before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30% of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that,do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crop since 1985,after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew,London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project,Professor Paul Hadley,says,“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean,healthy,interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine,clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries,including several in West Africa.That’s where 75% of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy:it employs about two million people.Professor Paul Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says,“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly,particularly in countries like China,where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”5.What is the text mainly about?A.Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B.Planting cocoa seeds worldwide.C.Keeping cocoa seeds in greenhouse.D.Finding the new market for cocoa.6.The institution’s cocoa project is to ________.A.have cocoa skin removedB.offer more jobs to peopleC.ensure the quality of cocoaD.supply cocoa for two million people7.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.The taste of chocolates is changing.B.Demand for cocoa is increasing continually.C.People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D.Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.8.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To educate.

B.Opposed.C.Optimistic. D.Objective.4.What may the passage talk about next?A.Definition of phubbers.B.People addicted to phubbing.C.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.D.Consequences of phubbing.Ⅱ.完形填空(2015·东北三校二模)My heart beat with that feeling, like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys.

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(13)(建议用时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·东北三校二模)To most people,noise pollution is a jet flying over their head.For one Spanish woman,it is a neighbor playing the piano.The woman has taken her neighbor to court.Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.In a country known for its noisiness,the case has raised eyebrows.Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain,but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of.At the trial,Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin,who lives below her.Martin,27,didn’t admit that she played at home that often,saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.On the first day of the trial,the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”.Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems,including insomnia(失眠),anxiety,and panic attacks.She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels(分贝) higher than the limit.City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the room.The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.The court hasn’t made a final decision.A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.1.Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because ________.A.Martin’s playing the piano damaged her healthB.Bosom suffered from heart attackC.Martin refused to take regular classes in other townsD.Martin flew a jet over her head2.How did Laia Martin respond to the complaints?A.She stopped playing the piano.B.She soundproofed the room.C.She didn’t admit she played at

Problems of a Spanish WomanD.Actions Against Noise by Local AuthorityB(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测一)As the November cold begins to take control in the UK,Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.Celebrated on November 5,Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605,when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament(议会) with barrels of gunpowder.Now,it is traditional for Britons to make a fake(假的)“Guy”every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country,you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs,then fill them with tar(焦油) and set them on fire.And in Lewes,a town in the southern English county of Sussex,different groups of bonfire societies parade(游行) the streets,each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot(吉祥物),which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”,a dish made from slowcooked beef mince,tomatoes,kidney beans,onions,and spices.It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese.It’s not the most elegant dish in the world but it’s sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.But for many Britons,the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee(太妃糖)”,which is also known as “plot toffee”,named after Guy Fawkes’plot to blow up parliament.The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.Whether it’s the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone,the hearty winter food,or the excuse to light a huge fire,Bonfire Night has something for everyone.Just watch out for those rockets!4.What is Guy Fawkes Night?A.A person to explode the parliament.B.A guy to be controlled in the UK.C.A symbol for Britons to enter winter.D.A dish famous to British people.5.Why do people have “chili con carne”?A.It’s the most elegant.B.It’s full of energy.C.It’s on jacket potatoes.D.It’s slowly cooked.6.The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”.A.celebrationsB.fireworksC.performancesD.bonfires7.What is the text mainly about?A.The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.B.The introduction of a traditional food.C.A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.D.Activities on the night of November 5.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河南三市第二次调研)Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life.Unfortunately,many people do not know how to overcome failure,and they are stopped by it when they encounter one.Rise up and don’t regretWhen we fail,we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it.But that should not be the case.The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing.Rise up and move on.1.________Understand that failure is there to bring you wisdomFailure is there not without a reason.2.________ Each failure you encounter increases your wisdom and brings you one step closer to success.If you have this,you will see failure differently.You will see each failure as an opportunity to learn.3.________ While failure brings you wisdom,how much wisdom you will get depends entirely on your ability to harvest it.So don’t waste the opportunity to learn.If you fail to do this,you may waste a lot of time by repeating the same mistakes in the future.Don’t give up;maybe you are only one step away from successThe thought of giving up is temptation,especially when we have failed over and over again.But who knows that maybe you are only one step away from success?Will you abandon the long journey you have passed when you are already so close to your destination?4.________ Maintain your enthusiasm5.________ Otherwise your later effort will have less and less power.Many people who achieve great undertakings have no special quality.They are just ordinary people with extraordinary attitude.Let’s be one of them.A.You should keep on trying and do it with the same enthusiasm as when you first began.B.So hold on tight and don’t give up.C.It’s there to give you the wisdom you need to succeed.D.Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.E.If you can dream it,you can also do it.F.Learn as much as possible from the failure.G.The regret lies not in doing,but in not doing.Ⅲ.短文改错(2015·山西大学附中第五次月考)One year ago,I was in great trouble.I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it.But I failed to pass the mid-term examination,which made me

your progress by one examination.”He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results.I took my grandpa’s advice.Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and

WORD格式整理版2015 年高考全国卷 2 英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40 分)AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead ofclothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set atseventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I firstgot it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didn ’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten tobed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电 )noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show,and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes thistechnique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉 ) shaking my set.Whenneither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, andit stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit isworking well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B He couldn ’t return it when itwas broken.B He could have bought it at a lower price.D He failed to find any movieshows on it.22.

Here are some ways to turn yourhome into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely toencourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情 ) when they ’re in poorly lit places– and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellowor red room. Warmcolors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock– or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Beginkeeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eatabout 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When wechoose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinnyglass.25.

The gap-year phenomenon originated( 起源 ) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants betweenentrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics onuniversity entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. TonyHiggins from UCASsaid that the statistics are g ood news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, andcomplete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union ofStudents(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship– young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to£ 15,000 in debt. It isnot surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to supportto work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,”he said.29.

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(20)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·唐山一模)The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.David Tilman,a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota,America,examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health.He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized (工业化),population increased and earnings rose,more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar,fat,oil and meat.By eating these foods,people began to get fatter and sicker.David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk for noninfectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease.Unfortunately when people become industrialized,if they adopt this Western diet,they are going to have these health problems,especially in developing countries in Asia.China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period.And that is happening all across the world,in Mexico,in Nigeria and so on.And,a diet bad for human beings,is also bad for the environment.As the world’s population grows,more forests and tropical(热带的) areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle.We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.Mr.Tilman calls the link between the diet,the environment and human health,“a trilemma”—a problem offering a difficult choice.He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.1.According to the passage,more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from________.A.transportation B.developing countriesC.agriculture D.developed countries2.David Tilman believes that ________.A.the diet,the environment and human health are closely connectedB.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializesC.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart diseaseD.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet3.We can infer from the passage that ________.A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes casesB.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseasesC.the examined information comes from developing countriesD.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.call on us to protect the environmentB.warn us of the danger of the Western dietC.remind us of the importance of healthD.advise us to have a balanced dietⅡ.完形填空(2015·贵州七校联盟第一次联考)From the time I lined up my dolls on the sofa in play school,I wanted to be
