天天增分(十)满分48分,实战模拟,15分钟拿下高考客观题满分!姓名:________班级:________Ⅰ.阅读理解AMany people rush_into the_commitment of bringing home_a four-leggedfamily_member,only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog,but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet,the time it takes to feed,walk,play with,bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs,and will act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner's prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog,then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!1. Who might be qualified to be a dog owner, according to the text?A. Kari,a teacher who works eight hours a day.B. Jim, who has a daughter sensitive to dog's smell.C. Dick,a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.D. Steven, a business man who travels a lot on business.2. To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT__________ .A. buying dog food and feeding itB. taking it to hospital when necessaryC. spending time each day playing with itD. finding a shelter for it when you are bored with it3. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Rush to adopt a dog formally.B. Commit to buy a dog and take it home.C. Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.D. Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.4. What might be the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are DogsB. Ready for a Pet?C. Have Time for a Dog?D. Pets Are Family Members【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

15 分钟拿下高考客观题满分! ________ 班级: ________ 满分 48 分, 实战模拟, 姓名: Ⅰ.阅读理解 Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its businesstobusiness site,Alibaba. com,allowed businesses to buy almost everything. Alibabut's advantage wasn't hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its markets attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba_is_just_the_middleman. It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded,polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You're looking for what exactly? Why not try it?”my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibaba's original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit, and leading that group is Taobao,with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find. TMall. com is Alibaba's other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-bigbox retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I'm not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine. 1. Alibaba's advantage mainly lies in __________. A. its businesstobusiness service B. its big size C. its not charging small sellers D. its low price 2. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passa size among all the online sites. B. Alibaba will continue to develop. C. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers. D. Alibaba stands out as the best online site. 3. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Alibaba' s businesstobusiness service earns more money than retail now. B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. C. TMall. com provides more profit than Taobao. D. The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Shopping online in China is Taobao. B. Alibaba greatly influences people's daily purchases in China. C. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. D. How the author purchases online in China.

天天增分(三)满分48分,实战模拟,15分钟拿下高考客观题满分!姓名:________班级:________阅读理解AI've always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed. What I remember most about visiting my boyfriend's parents is the loud tick of the clock as we silently ate our meal. I was quick to regard his family as cold. However, once, when we were about to drive home, my boyfriend's father appeared and began to wash the windshield (挡风玻璃). I could sense that his dad was a caring man.I learned another lesson about love later. My father often telephoned me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It's a good share price,” he would say when I answered the phone. My dad offered no pleasant greeting or inquiry (询问) about my life. This angered me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father's success and realized his concern for my financial security showed how much he loved me. The next time he calledand told me to buy a stock (股票),I thanked him.The way I treat my friends is sometimes different from how they treat me. For example I always return phone calls without delay and regularly check in with old friends. I had one friend who rarely called, responding to my messages with short e-mails. “She isn't a good friend!” I thought. My anger grew as the holidays approached. Then she came to a gathering I hosted and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we last went window-shopping. I was shocked at her kindness,and felt bad for thinking her uncaring. Clearly I needed to change my expectations.Far too often, I ignore unique expressions, eagerly expecting people to do things my way. This has left me feeling unloved. Over the years, however, I have learned to read others' love signs better and get along well with them.1. The writer finally realized that her father __________.A. wasn't a pleasant personB. was caring about herC. was successful in financeD. was dissatisfied with her2. How many examples has the writer given to show the lessons she has learned on love?A. Three.B. Two.C. One.D. Four.3. From the passage we infer that the writer often treats her loved ones __________.A. indirectly but warmlyB. directly and coldlyC. warmly and friendlyD. coldly but regularly4. The writer writes this passage to show that __________.A. people should treat others in a caring wayB. her good friend dislikes her way to care about othersC. she expects others to care about her in her wayD. different people have different ways to show their love【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

The little ducks were swimming about in the pond, and their mother, who was pure white with real red legs, was trying to teach them how to stand on their heads in the water.“You will never be in the best society unless you can stand on your heads,” she kept saying to them;and every now and then she showed them how it was done. But the little ducks paid no attention to her. They were so young that they did not know what an advantage it is to be in society at all.“What disobedient children!” cried the old Water-rat,“they really deserve to be drowned. ”“Nothing of the kind,”answered the Duck, “everyone must make a beginning, and pa rents cannot be too patient. ”“Ah! I know nothing about the feelings of parents,” said the Water-rat, “I am not a family man. In fact,I have never been married,and I never intend to be. Love is all very well in its way, but friendship is much higher. Indeed,I know of nothing in the world that is either nobler or rarer than a devoted friendship. ”“And what,pray,is your idea of the duties of a devoted friend?” asked a Green Linnet, who overheard the conversation.“Yes, that is just what I want to know,” said the Duck;and she swam away to the end of the pond, and stood upon her head,in order to give her children a good example.“What a silly question!” cried the Water-rat. “I should expect my devoted friend to be devoted to me,of course. ”“And what would you do in return?” said the little bird,swinging upon a silver spray,and flapping his tiny wings.“I don' t understand you,” answered the Water-rat.“Let me tell you a story on the subject,”said the Linnet.“Is the story about me?” asked the Water-rat. “If so,I will listen to it,for I am extremely fond of fiction. ”“It is applicable to you,” answered the Linnet;and he flew down, and floating upon the bank, he told the story of The De v oted Friend.1. What was the Duck teaching her children?A. How to survive in a competitive society.B. How to keep their heads in water for long.C. How to be patient in listening attentively.D. How to make friends with other animals.2. According to the Water-rat, he valued __________ most.A. loveB. friendshipC. marriageD. knowledge3.

天天增分(四)满分48分,实战模拟,15分钟拿下高考客观题满分!姓名:________班级:________Ⅰ.阅读理解It is a familiar scene these days: employees tak ing newly laid-off (下岗)co-workers out for a drink for comfort.But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve,the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse,”Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety,for example,while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from-even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fig ht or flight” response,which leads to damaging stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job-it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure-gives psychological improvement over unemployment.”Burchell supposesthat the difference in men is that they tend tofeel pressure not only to be employed,but also to be the primary breadwinner,and that more of a man's self-worth depends on his job.1. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?A. They have to do more work since then.B. They have no chance to find better jobs.C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.2. What is mos t likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A. Not having a paid job.B. Fierce competition for jobs.C. Not knowing what will happen.D. Pressure to work longer hours.3. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?A. Advice on preparing a job interview.B. Advice to those in insecure industries.C. Some knowledge of psychology.D. Difference in men and women.4. What could be the best title for the text?A. Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?B. Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless?C. Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?D. Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

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.

It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers' desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.The Louvre in Paris,FranceProbably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world,the“Mona Lisa”by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small,but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But,the Louvre is much more than a home to the“Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia,AmericaJust opened in its new downtown location in2012,the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection.
