必修4 Unit 2 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AA couple of months ago, we were in a hurry to get somewhere, but it seemed that my 6-year-old daughter had an instinctive (本能的) capacity to slow things down. In response I had become impatient, frustrated and unkind. As I unloaded my apology, she said, “Mom, it's OK. You've never been a mom before. This is your first time. You're just trying. It's OK.”Her response made me feel ashamed. She had been able to give me what I had refused to give her just moments before — mercy, understanding and sympathy. And I needed it. We all do. In fact, there may be nothing more needed today in our nation and communities.It's no wonder that former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan has transformed her idea. She spent 20 years representing her family's beliefs with messages of hate towards blacks, Jews and those who support abortion. When she finally started being able to engage in (参与) civil dialog with her “enemies”，she found tha t “people on the other side were not the ones I had been led to believe ...” Finally, she left the faith of her family. What surprised her most was the forgiveness and understanding she experienced from those who had been her former “enemies”．My experienc e with my daughter teaches me that the ability to engage “with the other”，to form a judgment, to avoid tough judgements, and to show sympathy is learned first, and practiced best, at home — even if, as in my case, it is my children who teach me the lesson. Researchers believe the key to developing those abilities in our children lies in how we respond to their feelings, especially the negative ones.We should all make efforts to create a world where we are all better able to take the perspective (观点) of others, stay away from tough judgments and recognize and respect the humanity in the souls around us. This desire makes my own struggling to be better worth all the efforts every day.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了作者在对女儿道歉时，受到女儿回答的影响，意识到我们需要同情和理解对方。

第一部分必修四Unit 2Ⅰ.阅读理解导学号01830698(2015·江西省上饶市三模) Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有泡沫的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals—although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri-Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted so me field trials on cotton crop at our research statio n. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests, ”he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “ no scientific basis” for this_practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “ For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道.文章主要讲述了一件有趣的事，印度农民认为有泡沫的饮料具有杀虫作用，也就是百事可乐和可口可乐里面含有杀虫剂，但两家公司对此予以否认.1．The writer's purpose of writing this passage is to ________.A．tell an interesting incidentB．warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to healthC．suggest using Coca-Cola to kill pestsD．announce a new discovery of Coca-Cola答案：A推理判断题.通读全文，并根据作者写这段短文的语气推断作者在讲述一件有趣的小事，可乐中竟然有杀虫剂.故选A.2．The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because ________.A．they thought it went against scienceB．they believed that the farmers didn't tell the truthC．they might fear that it could bring harm to their businessD．they insisted that no poison was left in their products答案：C推理判断题.根据文章最后一段的The U.

Based on the best-selling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.MahabharataThis Indian Hindi-language series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people.It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions.This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.The Cro w nThis story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制)．It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show.The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Cro w n win popularity.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。

To meet the need, Trip Ad v isor publishes a list of the world's best beaches.Baia do Sancho, BrazilIts water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. It is on Fernando de Noronha, a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil's coast. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there. Getting there involves walking along steep, rocky cliffs and then climbing down a ladder.Grace Bay, Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to, Trip Ad v isor's second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach. Travelers to the islands often choose to stay at oceanfront hotels right next to Grace Bay. This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming.Eagle Beach, ArubaTo get to the third-best beach, head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Eagle Beach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand. It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky turns red, orange, and purple.Playa Paraiso, CubaTrip Ad v isor's fourth-best beach is also in the Caribbean. Playa Paraiso is on Cayo Largo, an island off Cuba's southern coast. Paraiso has a fun, laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.Siesta Key, United StatesFlorida's Siesta Key is a low-lying island. The scientist known as Dr. Beach recently named Siesta Key the best beach in America. It offers calm and clean waters. Visitors of all ages go to Siesta Key when the tide is low to find beautiful, large and, sometimes, rare seashells.语篇解读：本文是应用文。

必修4 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·长沙一模)In between running one of the world's largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to find time to read books, both long and short. Now Gates —who has been labeled a “greedy” reader — has released a list of his favorite books. All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy.Here are Bill's top four picks (with parts of his full review of each book)．Business Ad v entures, by John BrooksBrooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites. He re-read it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read.“Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of business articles from The Ne w Yorker from the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as he did. Brooks' insights (洞察力) into business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever.”Capital in the T w enty-First Century, by Thomas PikettyPiketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role in re ducing it.”Ho w Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwell's work, which was published in May 2014, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.“The agric ulture section of the book was particularly insightful. It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation. And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclav SmilSmil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft's founder — one of his books makes Gates' list almost every year. Making the Modern World came out late in 2013 and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials —say, soda cans that need less aluminum —makes them cheaper, which actually encouragesmore production.”语篇解读：本文介绍了比尔·盖茨喜欢阅读的四本关于商业和经济的书.1．The books mentioned in the text are mainly about ________.A．charity in the worldB．business and economyC．poverty in the worldD．Bill Gates' life experience解析：选B细节理解题.根据第一段的最后一句“All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy.”可知,比尔·盖茨喜欢的这些书都是优秀读物,其中大部分书与商业和经济有关,故B项正确.2．Of the books, ________ is best praised by Bill Gates.A．Ho w Asia WorksB．Capital in the T w enty-First CenturyC．Business Ad v enturesD．Making the Modern World：Materials and Dematerialization解析：选C细节理解题.根据第三段的第二句“He re-read it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read.”可知,Business Ad v entures这本书是最受比尔·盖茨称赞的,故C项正确.3．Gates once had a personal discussion with the author of________.A．Capital in the T w enty-First CenturyB．Business Ad v enturesC．Ho w Asia WorksD．Making the Modern World：Materials and Dematerialization解析：选A细节理解题.根据第五段的第二句“Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic.”可知,比尔·盖茨和Capital in the T w enty-First Century这本书的作者坐下来交谈过,故A项正确.4．In Ho w Asia Works, the author analyses ________.A．why African agriculture cannot develop fastB．how they can apply Asian economic model in African countriesC．why Asia is slow in agricultural developmentD．how some Asian countries have rapidly grown in economy解析：选D细节理解题.根据第七段中的“addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth”可知,Ho w Asia Works主要介绍了一些亚洲国家如日本、韩国和中国是如何快速发展经济的,故D项正确.B(2018·山东省部分重点中学联考)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her,“How do you hear？” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.It's important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twainsaid,“The difference between the right word and the almost right wordis the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)．” Ifyou miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask thespeakers. At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.语篇解读：本文讲述了聆听的内涵.我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意,并且要注意说话方式.5．What's the writer's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?A．To give an example of wise words.B．To introduce a world-famous musician.C．To help explain the meaning of listening.D．To encourage us to fight against disability.解析：选C推理判断题.根据第一段中的“For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.”可知,对于Glennie和“我们”来说,聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解,这里说明了聆听的内涵.所以选项C正确.6．What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?A．It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.B．People should know words can be used in many different ways.C．English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.D．The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.解析：选D推理判断题.根据第二段中的“It's important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知,准确听懂说话者的意思很重要.因此,选项D“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合.7．What does the underlined word “sync” in the las t paragraph probably mean?A．Match.B．Prove.C．Describe. D．Analyze.解析：选A词义猜测题.画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根据画线词后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推断,match与画线词意思相近.故选A.8．Which is the best title for this passage?A．Speak While You Listen B．Listen Beyond WordsC．Read Between Lines D．Think as You Talk解析：选B标题归纳题.本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意.所以选B.C(2018·海口调研)Students at Harvard this term have been doing something for the first time in the university's long history. They promise not to cheat, or more specifically, to sign up to an honor code in which they promise to stick to values of academic integrity (学术诚信). It means students at the well-known US university have to promise not to cheat in exams.Brett Flehinger, a professor at Harvard, says students now write their own “personal response” to the honor code before starting term, repeat their promise when registering and then again before taking exams.Harvard's adoption of an honor code follows a widely-known cheating event in 2012. On one exam paper, more than a hundred students were investigated and about 70 later faced punishment.An annual survey was conducted by the student newspaper, the Har v ard Crimson. The survey, based on a sample of more than 70% of new students, also asked about cheating. It found 9% admitted to having cheated in an exam. There were others who had cheated in homework, academic work and other assignments.So will students be stopped from cheating by a promise?A study published in October by the US National Bureau of Economic Research found “strong evidence” of cheating from at least 10% of students. “It is not surprising that students cheat —they have enough reasons to do so, and the likelihood of getting caught is low,”concluded the study. “What is perhaps more surprising is that so little effort is devoted to catching cheating students.”Would an honor code make a difference?Sir Cary Cooper, a professor at Manchester Business School, says, “I don't think it actually stops the cheating that much. A university will have it because it gives specific moral guidance about what is incorrect behavior.”语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文.哈佛大学为了防止学生在考试中作弊,在注册和考试前让学生签署诚信守则,以此来提升学术诚信度.9．What's the main purpose of Harvard's honor code?A．To spread knowledge.B．To prevent students cheating in exams.C．To punish students cheating in exams.D．To introduce results of failing in the exams.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第一段第三句及第一段内容可知,哈佛大学的诚信守则的主要目的是防止学生考试作弊.故选B.10．What made Harvard's honor code appear?A．The survey by the Har v ard Crimson.B．A lot of Harvard's students' suggestions.C．The influence from the other US universities.D．A number of Harvard's students' cheating in exams.解析：选D细节理解题.根据第三段第一句及第三段内容可知,作弊事件迫使哈佛大学采用诚信守则制度.故选D.11．What do we know about the new students of Harvard?A．Nobody admitted having cheated in exams.B．Some of them cheated in academic work.C．All of them cheated on homework.D．They didn't cheat in exams.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第四段最后一句及第四段内容可知,一些哈佛新生曾在学术作业中作弊过.故选B.12．What may be the best title for the text?A．Students at Harvard are learning to behave honestly in examsB．Harvard is working on the exam paper about cheatingC．Harvard forces students to follow the honor codeD．Students at Harvard are tired of cheating in exams解析：选A标题归纳题.本文主要介绍哈佛大学为了防止学生在考试中作弊,采用了诚信守则制度,因此A项“哈佛学生正学习在考试中诚信”适合做文章标题.故选A.D(2018·福州五校第一次联考)There is a popular saying in the English language：“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, namecalling or even the socalled “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文.马萨诸塞州哈佛医学院的研究人员发现,语言暴力会干扰大脑神经的连接,对孩子的大脑发育造成不良影响.13．Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?A．To show the power of words.B．To introduce an opposite view.C．To prove the author's argument.D．To show ancient people's wisdom.解析：选B作者意图题.引用名人名言、谚语等是文章开篇的常见写作方式,且大多用来引出文章的话题.但是根据此谚语后面的“Well, that is not true. Unkind words ... sometimes even more so.”可知,本文引用这个谚语恰恰是为了引出一个不同的或者说是相反的观点,故选B.14．What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A．Comments on the findings.B．Approaches to further studies.C．Suggestions to parents.D．Different opinions on the matter.解析：选C推理判断题.根据文章最后一段的内容可知,作者接下来应该会就“父母如何帮助自己的孩子为可能遭受的语言暴力做好准备,使他们不会受到语言暴力的影响”给出一些方法或建议.故选C.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The way we speak matters.B．Verbal violence should be stopped.C．Unkind words hurt the brain.D．Words are worse than sticks and stones.解析：选C主旨大意题.文章介绍了语言暴力对孩子的不良影响,再根据文中的“verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain”可以看出,其影响主要体现在孩子的大脑发育方面.故选C.Ⅱ.阅读七选五(2018·成都市诊断性检测)Color is in everything we touch, taste, smell and feel.It evokes (唤起) emotion without any thought.__1__ We are all familiar with it, but do you know the following facts?Silver will save you life.When buying a new car and finding yourself facing various choices, you can't think clearly.Your best choice is to go with silver.Silver-colored cars are least likely to be involved in a car accident.__2__ Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.__3__ Tough prisoners and crazy patients? It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who are out of control.So it surely has a useful place and a purpose, other than decorating a dress or Barbie's dream house.Yellow makes you hungry.Yellow and orange are not recommended for use in kitchens, as they have a positive influence on your appetite.__4__ I'm not normally one for conspiracy (阴谋) theories — but perhaps there's something in it for them if we remain ignorant of yellow's effects.Color is an imaginary friend.Technically, it's all in our heads: color does not exist at all.__5__ So, if you start a heated debate over color combinations with someone that you are certain has a low IQ or is just color-blind, remember it's a pointless argument and you should drop it instantly. You're both wrong.A．Pink comforts the nerves.B．Blue is the most common favorite color.C．They are most noticeable on the road and in low light.D．Yellow-colored walls seldom leave us wanting more food.E．It can be the focus of our careers, our lifestyle and the fun we have.F．Then where would our restaurant owners be without the clever tricks?G．Color tries to make sense of the huge amount of information from the outer world.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文.文章主要介绍了一些色彩的作用.1选E根据上文可知,色彩与人们的生活密切相关,可以唤起人们的情感.E项“色彩是人们职业、生活方式和娱乐的焦点”与此呼应,所以选E项.2．选C根据上文的“Your best choice is to go with silver.Silver-colored cars are least likely to be involved in a car accident.”及下文的“Another reason is the silver color's ability to have a look of cleanliness.”可知,银色引人注目,不易引起交通事故,所以选C项.3．选A根据下文的“It is the color commonly used to help calm down those who are out of control.”可推知,本段所介绍的颜色有定心安神的作用,所以选A项.4．选F根据下文的“I'm not normally one for conspiracy (阴谋) ... if we remain ignorant of yellow's effects.”可推知应选F项,餐馆老板利用色彩的作用招揽更多的顾客.5．选G根据上文的“Color is an imaginary friend.Technically, it's all in our heads: color does not exist at all.”可推知,本段对色彩进行了综合性的客观描述,与G项吻合,所以选G项.。

In response I hadbecome impatient, frustrated and unkind. As I unloaded my apology, she said, “Mom, it's OK. You've never been a mom before. This is your first time. You're just trying. It's OK.”Her response made me feel ashamed. She had been able to give me what I had refused to give her just moments before — mercy, understanding and sympathy. And I needed it. We all do. In fact, there may be nothing more needed today in our nation and communities.It's no wonder that former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan has transformed her idea. She spent 20 years representing her family's beliefs with messages of hate towards blacks, Jews and those who support abortion. When she finally started being able to engage in (参与) civil dialog with her “enemies”，she found that “people on the other side were not the ones I had be en led to believe ...” Finally, she left the faith of her family. What surprised her most was the forgiveness and understanding she experienced from those who had been her former “enemies”．My experience with my daughter teaches me that the ability to enga ge “with the other”，to form a judgment, to avoid tough judgements, and to show sympathy is learned first, and practiced best, at home — even if, as in my case, it is my children who teach me the lesson. Researchers believe the key to developing those abilities in our children lies in how we respond to their feelings, especially the negative ones.We should all make efforts to create a world where we are all better able to take the perspective (观点) of others, stay away from tough judgments and recognize and respect the humanity in the souls around us. This desire makes my own struggling to be better worth all the efforts every day.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了作者在对女儿道歉时，受到女儿回答的影响，意识到我们需要同情和理解对方.1．What did the author think of her daughter's reaction?A．Her daughter was not so kind.B．Her daughter did better than her.C．Her daughter's words annoyed her.D．Her daughter should make an apology.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第一段中作者对女儿道歉时女儿的答语可知B项正确.2．The author mentions the example of Megan in order to ________.A．show that blacks and Jews are treated unfairlyB．judge whether what Megan did was right or notC．show that there are no forever enemies in our lifeD．prove that people should show understanding to each other解析：选D推理判断题.作者列举梅甘的例子是为了证明自己前面提到的以及后面还要重复强调的观点，即我们要学会站在对方的角度去看待问题，亦即人们之间要互相理解.3．Why did Megan change her attitude towards her former “enemies”？A．Because she forgave them at last.B．Because she knew them better later.C．Because she made herself understood by them.D．Because she felt great sympathy towards them.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第三段的内容可知，梅甘之所以把那些人当成敌人，是因为她并没有真正了解那些人，后来通过了解之后发现他们并不是自己以前认为的那样.4．What's the author's attitude toward our future?A．Hopeful.B．Doubtful.C．Cautious. D．Worried.解析：选A观点态度题.根据最后一段作者说我们要努力创造一个更好地对待别人的世界，远离不公正的判断和尊重周围的人可以看出，作者对未来是抱有希望的.B(2018·太原一模)Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn't really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn't want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others' presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了“我”通过一些活动意识到“到场”的重要意义.5．Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A．He built shelters for them.B．He gave immediate first aid to them.C．He came to stay with them.D．He brought mental health professionals.解析：选C细节理解题.根据第一段的第二句可知，因为“我”在他们受灾时和他们在一起，所以他们感激“我”，故C项正确.6．What did the author do when his friend's mother passed away?A．He hesitated over whether to go.B．He went to his friend's at once.C．He knew what to do instantly.D．He decided not to disturb his friend.解析：选A细节理解题.根据第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately (I)was torn about what to do.”可知，“我”想要立即去朋友那里，但又不愿意去打扰朋友，据此可知，当朋友的母亲去世时，“我”犹豫是否要去朋友那里.7．What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Heavy but warm.B．A little sad but cosy.C．Relaxing and delightful.D．Very serious and unhappy.解析：选D词义猜测题.根据第三段最后一句中的“His family, playing guitars and singing”可知，男青年的家人在弹奏吉他并唱歌；结合画线词所在句中的“However ...no means”和第三段第二句中的“a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying”可以判断，在家人的陪伴下，气氛并不悲伤和严肃，据此可以判断，画线词意为“严肃的”，故D项正确.8．What has the author learned from his experience?A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.B．Being present can make a big difference.C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D．Being a volunteer can make one's life more significant.解析：选B推理判断题.根据最后一段的前两句“In my life, I am repeatedly ...are truly alone.”并结合第二段的第一句可知，从自己的经历中“我”意识到了“到场”的重要意义，故B项正确.CSquare foot gardening is a type of gardening made popular by Mel Bartholemew.It is based on the idea that the wide rows in traditionalgardening are a waste of time, work, water and area.It shows thatquality vegetables can be grown in less space with less work.In thismethod, the gar den space is divided into “beds”．Each bed is4’×4’(16 sq ft) (120cm×120cm, 1.4m2)．The beds are separatedby paths (小路)．These beds are further divided into squares of aboutone square mon spacing is one plant per square for larger plants such as broccoli, four per square for medium large plants like lettuce, nine per square for medium small plants like spinach, and sixteen per square for small plants such as onions and carrots.The weeds (杂草) are removed from the beds and the plants are watered from the paths.This stops the soil from being compacted (压紧)．Benefits of square foot gardening：·Much less work.Normal gardening needs heavy tools to loosen the soil.In this method, the soil is never compacted and it remains loose.·Water savings.The loose ground holds the water better.This type of garden needs water less often than other methods.Also, water is placed very near the plant roots.Less water is wasted.·Very few weeds.The vegetables form a living mulch (覆盖物) and shade out many weeds before they can start to grow.·Pesticides (杀虫剂) are not needed.Natural ways to keep pests away work very well in a close space.Many different types of plants in a small area also stop plant diseases from spreading easily.语篇解读：本文为一篇说明文.文章介绍了平方尺菜园的操作方法和益处.9．Why does square foot gardening become popular?A．It makes full use of space.B．It is suggested by Mel Bartholemew.C．It provides more vegetables for people.D．It produces vegetables of higher quality.解析：选A细节理解题.根据第一段的“It shows that quality vegetables can be grown in less space with less work.”可知，平方尺菜园能够充分利用空间.10．Why is the gardening called square foot gardening?A．Because vegetables are grown in the squares.B．Because you can grow vegetables anywhere by using it.C．Because the smallest bed in it is only one square foot.D．Because the places where vegetables are grown are too small.解析：选C推理判断题.根据其名称和第一段的“These beds are further divided into squares of about one square foot.”可知正确答案.11．What can we infer from the text?A．Loose soil is good for plant growth.B．Onions and carrots need more space.C．Compacted soil is important to some plants.D．Square foot gardening needs some heavy tools.解析：选A推理判断题.根据第一段最后一句话和下文“Normal gardening needs heavy tools to loosen the soil.”可知，松散的土壤有利于植物的生长.12．Why are there fewer weeds in square foot gardening?A．Because weed killers are used.B．Because weeds can't get sunlight.C．Because weeds are short of water.D．Because weeds have been removed.解析：选B细节理解题.从Benefits of square foot gardening的第三条可知，蔬菜遮住了杂草的阳光，因为见不到阳光，所以杂草很少.D(2018·济南高考模拟)I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep (陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase (楼梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached mydaughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry (彬彬有礼)．语篇解读：在这个忙碌的现代社会，彬彬有礼、体贴他人的品质变得尤为珍贵.作者讲述了自己经历的一件事情，并赞扬了这种良好的品质.13．What is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 1?A．A brave action.

In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related to happiness. __1__ Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers —something they typically avoided. __2__ None of the chatters reported being rejected.Small talk can also help us feel connected with our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易). __3__ One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected with the exhibit than those who were not approached.__4__ In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when trans forming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. __5__A．The same is true of gallery goers.B．But don't play down small talk just yet.C．They found that small talk is related to happiness.D．Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.E．Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.F．A “curious mindset”，the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”．G．Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了聊天会让人开心.1．选B根据上文的“In one study, researchers ... related to happiness.”和下文的“Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding.”可知，空格前后表示转折关系，所以选B项“但是，不要贬低聊天的重要性”.2．选D根据下文的“None of the chatters reported being rejected.”可推知，应选D项.那些被要求去和陌生人聊天的乘客说旅途更加愉快.3．选A根据下文的“chat with gallery goers”可知，应选A项.参观美术馆的人也有同样的感受.4．选G根据本段中对两类人的介绍可推知，有些人更擅长把聊天话题扩大，所以选G项.5．选F根据上文的“But people who were ... into personal exchanges.”可推知，具有好奇心的人会与他人进行积极的社交互动，所以选F项.。
