2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解(7)Ddiners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat infast-food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, andthousands of people still enjoy eatingthere. It was popular a century ago, andit is still popular today.1. A man named Walter Scott had the first "diner" in 1872. Why is diner in quotationmarks (引号)?A. Because it is spelled differentlyfrom "dinner". B. Because the firstdiner was not a real diner.C. Because diner was a new word.D. Because it is a special kind ofrestaurant.2. What meals did the first diners serve?A. Only breakfast.B. Only lunch.C. Only night-meals.D. All of theabove.3. According to paragraph 3 , dinerschanged in ______. ?A. two waysB. three waysC. four waysD. five ways4. Which of the following is NOT trueaccording to the passage?A. diners existed before fast-food restaurants.B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.C.

American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customersD. diners are different fromfast-food restaurants in many waysB1.DMany people to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer full name,address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard. He needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game. “People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is symbol of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process writer’s complaints if they do not bear thewriter’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name, it is a matter if responsibility to it when wemake a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.68. What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.B. Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.C. Writers should be responsible for their names.D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.69. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may .A. help to end a relationshipB. not get a replyC. be accepted all the sameD. become a family problem70. Some people don’t want their namesknown because they are .A.hesitant to make a donation B.unwilling to draw public attentionC.afraid of an accusation D.ready for involvement71. The passage is mainlyabout .A. honour and writersB.identity and signatureC. signature and responsibilityD. anonymity and signatureC2.One day a few years ago, a veryfunny thing happened to a neighbour ofmine.

2015届高考英语二轮专题训练 阅读理解(18)
2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解〔18〕ADo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!〞This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians oft en use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!〞that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.〞Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.〞 It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deceptio n happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.49. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.50. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky Company52. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A. False statements are easy to see through.B Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.D. Advertisements are based on facts.51. What do the underline words “net gain〞 in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total savingBThose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness. The study of 79 adults (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy〔疗法〕requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two20-minute phone calls.Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep.The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia, which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia, compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures. The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.'s Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease.1．What is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia〞?A. sleeplessnessB. depressionC. heart diseaseD. immune deficiency67. What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A. It can’t help.B. It costs a lot of money.C. It requires sessions with a therapist.D. It includes sleep-aiding medications.68. How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A. Lying in bed awake.B. Get up early every day.C. Don’t go to bed late at night.D. D on’t stay in bed if you are not asleep.69. We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following resultsexcept________.A. depressionB. concentrationC. immune deficiencyD. heart disease70. What can we infer from the study?A. The intervention group was not given the printed materials.B. The latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls.C. The behavioral treatment group was less likely to show improvements.D. The instructing session that the intervention group received is most effective.C〔2014福建卷〕As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion〔猜疑〕that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.72. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.A. energy policy catches much attention of the publicB. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesD. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents73. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based powerB. guarantees an increase in energy outputC. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear powerD. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation74. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A. an official report will settle the energy problemB. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts75. Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?A. Increase political impact on energy policy.B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.D1.Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didnot know what to do. The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant is always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in witha lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜单), The menu looked exactlythe same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine. while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price!

Once kids hit the teenage years, parenting becomes more difficult than ever. Establishing effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers. House rules must respect teenagers’ desire to be independent and make sure they behave responsibly.How can effective house rules be established?First of all, get your teenager to take part in making the rules, which can help keep them motivated to follow them. Ask their opinion about what sorts of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.When creating the list of rules, don’t list every single rule imaginable. Instead, try to li mit it to the ten most important rules. I’ve seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list. Remember, it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.Then, it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location. Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere where everyone can see them is a good reminder. Revise the rules whenever there’s a need, not very frequently though.Explain clearly in advance what negative consequences will be in store when a rule gets broken. But ensure that none of your consequences are equal to abusive parenting. For example, take off the rule that says —“if you don’t get home by 11 at night, make arrangemen ts to stay elsewhere until morning”. Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as consequences for disobeying rules.Following these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行) will help improve your teenager’s behavior. Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!Establishing house rules for (76) __________【参考答案】任务型读写 (参考)76. teenagers 77. ensure 78.Tips/Suggestions/Advice79.Involving 80. listing 81. written82.remind 83.explanation 84.disobey/break 85. improved根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(2014届·合肥四校高三4月质量检测)Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas，say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish，claim the education analysts.Consumersavvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said，“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy ta le for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all ourchildren’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or notageappropriate.”Ms Calland，who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions wi th colleague Nicky Hutchinson，added，“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped，once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for，they have now lost interest in.”Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actu ally improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．Ms Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”5．What is the main problem with the “I want it now” generation?A．They are quite selfcentered.B．They like to live in fairy tales.C．They waste a lot of money on gifts.D．They can’t keep their interest in gifts.6．What is probably the aim of “Santa Says No” style sessions?A．To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.B．To keep children’s interest in the gifts.C．To tell pa rents how to say no to children’s demands.D．To advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.7．According to the passage，we can infer that Ms Calland intends to________.A．analyze children’s behaviorB．give advice to parentsC．introduce a new generationD．give her support to parents8．Ms Calland would agree that parents should________.A．buy nothing for children at ChristmasB．choose gifts carefully for childrenC．let children choose their own giftsD．avoid competing with othersB错误！未找到引用源。

2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解〔1〕AA new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin caner, actually increases the risk.Researchers from the University of lows based their firdings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the associstion between sunscreen use and melanoms(黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helpsprevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.But questions have been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin concer—people with fair skin and freckles 〔雀斑〕,for example—are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.72. The underlined word “flaws〞 in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .A.evidencesB.factsC.faultsD.failures73. People with fair skin and freckles .A.seldom use sunscreenB. are more in danger of skin concerC. can be free from the harm of the sunD. often expose themselves tothe sun74. We can learn from the passage that .A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more oftenB. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreenC. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteersD. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America75. Which of the following can be the beat title for this passage?A. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin CancerB. Sunscreen to Increase SkinCancerC. Skin Cancer Caused by SunscreenD. Skin Cancer Caused byFrecklesB〔2014四川卷〕Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently."Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations andour body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the abilityto recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants〔参与者〕received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."47. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo.B. Oxytocin.C. The gesture.D. The social status.48. What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others' success.D.

When we inte rviewed women for our book Love for Grownups, we discove red that as the holidays came to an end, women looked to the New Year with both anticipation and a bit of dread. How can you look at the New Year as a fresh start? Here are some ide as：Keep your resolutions reasonable. Sure, we all might want t o put “lose ten pounds by Valentine's Day” on our resolution list, but let's be practical here － the odds of that happening are probably p retty slim, but if you do achieve that goal, good for you! Try th inking of more“life changing”resolutions like“try something ne w this year”or“get in touch with friends from college” that kind of thing. The pounds will take care of themselves.Use deadlines to help you do things you've put off.

(注意：每个空格只填一个单词)Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old tr aditions of family and community then we will have a better lif e. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opi nion?In this fastpaced world, many values are undergoing major ch anges. While people traditionally prioritize(优先考虑) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern pe ople seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned. Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition o f life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you hav e to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously gr eed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a co mpany, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in a ny way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people ar e pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences. In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that moder n society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are n ot newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more c ondemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pre ssure compared with their modern counterparts.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them ? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great ple asure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doi ng the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the d evelopment of a mutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion, modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. Howev er, we should encourage people to know the importance of be ing caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial rela tionship with others.Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish？B任务型读写阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解（40）AThe city of X is internationally known for sports, catering for the needs of both professional and amateur sportspeople as well as those that seek to maintain an active lifestyle. The city promotes well-being by offering its citizens lots of opportunities for sports, both indoors and outdoors throughout the year.Sports clubs in X organize activities in a wide arrangement of sports. The most popular are ice hockey and football, and the list covers well over one hundred other sports.X’s large green areas including the Central Park and the sea offer ample opportunities for physical activity: walking, running, jogging, hiking, bicycling, roller skating, swimming, boating and fishing. The city claims 50,000 amateur fishermen, more than any other capital city in Europe.The city organizes a number of community sports activities and maintains a variety and lots of sports facilities. These facilities include more than 200 km of tracks for walking, jogging and running, close to 200 km of ski tracks in winter, some 30 indoor sports halls, some 10 indoor ice rinks and 80 outdoor ice rinks, 14 indoor swimming halls and 2 outdoor pools in summer, close to 30 beaches, and 12,000 boat berths (泊位).Ice Park is a downtown winter-time skating rink on Railway Square, complete with skate rental (出租) and a heated café.The local people are active bicyclists especially in summer. X’s bicycle path network covers 1,000 kilometers inside the city limits. The city promotes bicycling with many services, including a Journey Planner for Cycling.One of the unusual sports here is ice swimming, and X even hosts ice swimming world championships. The city maintains some 15 ice swimming sites throughout thecity.Campers find a convenient site inside the city: Rastila Camping is one of the most popular camping sites in this country, located by the seaside and accessible by underground. The Nuuksio National Park offers camping in wilderness just half an hour from the city by car.The city of X’s sports function is managed by the Sports Department. The department provides and maintains sports facilities and organizes activities. The department also rents facilities for sports, conference rooms and saunas.BThe White House dropped a report putting together some federal data. None of the information is exactly new, but a number of graphs in the report offer a clear and convincing illustration (阐述) of the status of women today. For instance, more young women are going to college than young men for the first time in US history. But, women are much more likely to go into lower-paying fields than men when they graduate, therefore lasting the long-standing wage gap. And women, especially minority women, are still more likely to live in poverty than men. Check out three of the graphs from the report below.Senior Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on a conference call with reporters that the president will use the data as a “tool” to inform policy plans, though she would not name any specific new moves the administration is considering.“You really have to look at the whole story of a woman’s life,” Jarrett said. “This report gives us a framework to do that.”24. The reason why American women delay having their first child, as is shown in Graph I, may be that ________.A. they get married at a later ageB. they don’t want to have childrenC. more of them are going to collegeD. more of them are working outside25. From Graph II, we can know that in the USA ________.A. women can receive the same education as menB. in the 1970s, only 10% of women got a bachelor’s degree or higherC. men are paying more attention to university education than womenD. more women have finished university education than men since the late 1990s26. Which conclusion can we draw from Graph III?A. Women with the same education level as men don’t earn as much.B. The more education one has received, the more pay he or she can get.C. Women under 25 years old usually don’t go out to work.D. The longer one has worked, the more pay he or she can get.27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the report?A. The State of American WomenB. The Education American Women ReceiveC. American Men and WomenD. Competition between Men and WomenCPhysics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (堪与相比者), Isaac Newton.Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet. That is because the long difficult search for a theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits.New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon.For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians.Education is different, too. One important aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think abstractly about space and time.And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would crazily play his violin as a way to think through a complex physics problem.Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts. Those who stay in science don’t work alone.It’s very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this.28. According to the passage, the most important reason for Einstein’s successis that ________.A. he was a good musicianB. he learnt philosophy as a teenagerC. he was born 200 years later than NewtonD. he was a great mathematician29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the reason why a new Einstein has not been born yet?A. The limits of current mathematics.B. The development of physics.C. Different education systems.D. The lack of analytical skills.30. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Einstein rather than Newton made great contributions to the world.B. Working independently is one of the contributing factors of Einstein’s success.C. Physics graduates can easily get science jobs today.D. Music has nothing to do with science.DMy room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till; I’ll get up and make breakfast.This morning I wake up suddenly, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric shock; it isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey.Hearing my brother is getting up, I go downstairs to make him a cup of tea. He’s down in the kitchen about five minutes later, wearing his work clothes, eyes mostly closed against the morning.“Morning.” I say.“Uh huh.”I leave him to work out what he is going to eat and go back to my room, and get back beneath the quilt.This morning I want to think a while. Today is Dad’s birthday; Mom won’t mention it. My brother might, just to cause a row, so I’ll keep him sweet when he comes in from work. Every year on my dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him; each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back I’ll be able to say “this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet” or “this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen, and you’d been gone five years, and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.” And he’ll look at each painting and know that I love him and never forget him.On Saturday mornings he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel (画架), a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.“Draw me,” he’d say.“Aw, Dad, I can’t.”I know I should go to school; I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. But, it’s my dad’s birthday and I think I must spend it with him.So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year; I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra fewpounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, like it is when he’s happy.It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how brightly his eyes shine and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black.I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell.Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth.And there he is.Dad.There you are.31. The author wakes up suddenly this morning because ________.A. it is a dark grey morningB. it is time for her to make breakfastC. it is her father’s birthdayD. she doesn’t want to go to school32. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author’s father left home when she was twelve.B. The author has drawn more than five pictures of her father.C. The author’s mother won’t hear a word about her father.D. The author’s brother is a worker.答案：ABDCD AABDB CABDC。

2015届高考英语二轮专题专练：阅读理解(2 )AIn the summer of 1936, people all over the world heard the name of Jesse Owens. That summer, Owens joined the best athletes from fifty nations to compete in the Olympic Games. They met in Berlin, Germany. There was special interest in the Olympic Games that year.We do not know what Hitler thought of Jesse Owens. No one recorded what he said about this black man who ran faster and jumped farther than any man of any color at the Olympic Games. But Hitler thought nobody should run faster or jump higher than the athletes from Germany. For at Hitler's request, films were made of the Berlin Olympic Games.The films show Jesse Owens as a thin but powerfully-built young man with smooth brown skin and short hair. When he ran, he seemed to move without effort. When he jumped, as one observer said, he seemed to jump out of Germany.Jesse Owens won the highest award, the gold medal, in all four of the Olympic competitions he entered. In the 100-meter race, he equaled the fastest record in that Olympic event. In the long jump and the 200-meter race, he set new Olympic records. And as part of a four-man team, he helped set a new world record for the 400-meter relay race. He was the first American in the history of Olympic track and field events to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.1．When were Berlin Olympic Games held?A．Before the Second World War.B．After the Second World War.C．During the Second World War.D．During the First World War.答案：A第二次世界大战是1939年爆发的，从文章第一段可知柏林奥运会是1936年夏天举办的。

高考英语二轮专题训练 阅读理解(11)
2015届高考英语二轮专题训练：阅读理解（11）AThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts． By contrast (对照) , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail”at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．53．In the author’s e ye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．A．succeed in climbing up the social ladderB．grow up from his own achievementsC．face difficulties and take up challengesD．aim high and reach his goal each time54．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing? A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．D．Father’s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000．55．For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．A．being curious about more changesB．being quick in self-adaptationC．having an open mind to new experiencesD．staying away from failures and challenges56. The best title for this passage should be ______．A．Facing New Challenges B Growth—Product or ProcessC．Two Basic Ways of Growth D Overcoming Internal FearBIn the United States, there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians, ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.In the eastern United States, one of the existing types was that commonly know under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived. The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark dried grass was added. A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. Doorways at each en served also as windows, The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages. The wall had only one opening, They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.Interestingly, the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the IroquoisIndians. The Choctaw Indians’ wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. The covering was made of a long, tough grass. A post in the centre supported the roof. A hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out.The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. It was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.The Pawnee, Mandan and other Indian tribes (部落) along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families.The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.Apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing.72. Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians？73. According to the passage, the Pawnee Indians built their houses _____.A. with openings in the trunk wallsB. large enough for several familiesC. in a ring shape with bark and mudD. by bending young trees to form the shape74. All the native Indian houses described in the passage were_____.A. of the same shapeB. covered with grassC. built with a post in the centreD. built with doorways at each end75. The passage suggests that ________A. all the native Indians built trunk walls all around their housesB. all the native Indian houses were built with poles tied togetherC. the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwamsD. the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi built their wigwams with straight sides and endsCDoctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: ] became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the powerof CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from ”landing gear up”.56.What dose the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are unwilling to take advice.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are quick learners of CRM.57.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.A. he saved the plane by speaking upB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. his boss operated on a patient58. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means ______.A. following flying requirements.B. overreacting to different opinions.C. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. making a mistake that may cost lives59. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying SafeB.Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC.The Making of a Good PilotD.A Pilot-Tumed DoctorDMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are farmore interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s s ense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.66. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on one’s own mindC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speaker’s inside world67. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?A. How to listen well.B. What to listen to.C. Benefits of listening.D. Problems in listening68. According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.A. listen activelyB. listen purposefullyC. set aside their prejudicesD. open up their inner mind69. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.A. they were taken good care of.B. they knew they were truly listened to.C. they had partners to talk to.D. they knew the roots of problems.70. What type of writing the article likely to be ?A. Science fictionB. A news report.C. A medical report.D. Popular scienceA53~56 CADBB72. A 73. B 74. B 75. CC56—59BADBD。
福建省漳州市2015届高三5月高考适应性试题英语阅读理解二 含答案
阅读理解（1）生活故事类How I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me。
I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning。
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again。
In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures。
The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then。
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives。
