ABWhen the Bayside campus of Shekou International School (SIS) are still kept shut because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching activities at the school have been resumed online since Feb. 3rd, 2020.The school is using popular apps and software for online learning. Video conferencing and office automation are used to help teachers keep track of students’ conditions and communicate with their workmates across the world. Teaching online also offers a new experience to the teachers to update their teaching methods and to step out of their comfort zones.Staying in Phuket, Thailand, science teacher Riley Laird records videos on a 10-year-old green sea turtle named Marlin and the local turtle sanctuary as part of the online classes on ecosystems for Grade 7 students. “I want to connect our learning with the reality. The sanctuary sends us updates on the turtles’ health and progress. They say that Marlin is likely to be released into the sea in mid-June,” says Laird.Rebecca Wallace is a Grade 4 teacher at the school, staying in her mother’s home in New York. From 8 p.m. to midnight every day, she starts teaching mathematics and arts to her students living in different time zones. Though teaching nearly around the clock, Wallace says that she is getting to know the students better in terms of their homes, family and even pets. Greg Smith, head of SIS, names the online teaching period a “new normal” at the school. “Students are now more skillful at using technology than before. They see that communication is the most powerful part of being an effective learner and can use the tools to shrink distance and time.The “new normal” will offer more choices for connection to the world and more focus on creating real solutions,” he says. According to the school, 68% of its students are staying in Shenzhen while 27% of them are staying abroad for the epidemic.31. Riley Laird records videos on Marlin to ________ .A. connect learning with the realityB. rescue the endangered turtlesC. study the ecosystem of the turtlesD. show his pet to the class32. Rebecca Wallace teaches around the clock, because ________.A. she and her students live in different time zonesB. she needs to look after her mother in the daytimeC. she enjoys chatting with her studentsD. she has many lessons each day33. According to Greg Smith, online teaching ________.A. builds up a new relationship among studentsB. makes teachers step out of their comfort zonesC. results in the skillful use of technologyD. helps create new education system34. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To advertise an international school.B. To evaluate the online learning apps.C. To suggest effective learning methods.D. To introduce online teaching attempts.【答案】31. A 32. A 33. C 34. DCThe fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities. While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars, that won’t help the millions who are dying in the meantime, andso some high-tech solutions are now on the cards.London’s air pollution problem has been getting worse for years. In March 2016, ten London pigeons became famous. These pigeons took to the sky, wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution. Once in the air, the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below.Another promising approach can be found in Beijing. A seven-metre-high “Smog Free Tower”, designed by a Dutch scientist, Daan Roosegaarde, opened in Beijing’s 751 D Park in September 2016. It is a huge, outdoor air purifier. Airborne particles (颗粒) are sucked into the tower and caught by a dust-removal plate. Finally, clean air is blown out of the other end.“Changing smog particles does not take much power.” Roosegaarde said.As for what to do with the collected PM waste, he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste. Prince Charles owns a set of “smog free” cufflinks (袖扣). If collected on at a big scale, Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material.Mexico City has an alternative solution. Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building, Allison Dring, a Berlin-based architect, managed to catch light and wind from all sides. She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen. “It means that you are actually taking carbon (碳) out of the sky, transforming it into a material, and then using it to build,” says Dring.The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting. Even if none of the ideas take off, at least Prince Charles’ cufflinks, the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public’s attention.35. The underlined words “on the cards” in Para.1 probably mean ________.A. hardly to achieveB. widely questionedC. very likely to happenD. publicly welcomed36. The ten pigeons in London were used to ________.A. monitor air pollutionB. warn LondonersC. update weather forecastD. promote backpacks37. What can we learn about the Smog Free Tower?A. It can catch light and wind.B. Its power consumption is high.C. PM waste from it can be reused.D. It is the first air purifier in the world.38. What’s the best title for the passage?A. When can humans get rid of smog?B. Why is technology used to fight smog?C. How are the world’s cities fighting smog?D. What makes smog a worldwide problem?【答案】35. C 36. A 37. C 38.

2022届高2（下）精品套餐练03套I. 7选5阅读（2022牛津版高二上期末复习7选5专题1）We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 36 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.37.If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing.38.In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.39.It gives us a great feeling of peace.40.While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.B. So what are you waiting for?C. Being in nature refreshes us.D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens. II. 阅读理解（2022浙江嘉兴市高二上期末阅读A篇）Manfred Steiner had a successful and productive career as a doctor, helping generations of medical students learn about hematology(血液学). But all along, he hada feeling he should be doing something else: studying physics. At age 89, he finally realized that dream, earning his Ph.D. in physics from Brown University.“I always had this dream: Gee, someday I would like to become a physicist,” Steiner said in an interview with NPR.Steiner was a teenager when World War II ended. By then, he was fascinated with physics. On the advice of his family, however, he decided to pursue a medical career instead. But during his studies in Vienna, physics still had a strong appeal to him. “When I was a medical student in the early 1950s, I used to steal into the physical institute, which was very close to the medical school,” he said, “and listen to some talksthere.”When asked what it was about physics that he enjoyed, Steiner replied quickly: precision (精确性). “Yet the physical exactly were the same, holding for the twoextremes," he added, “and that precision really always fascinated me.”It was only after Steiner retired from his career in medicine in 2000 that he was finally able to study physics. Steiner worked slowly-he's a grandfather who likes to spend with his family, and health issues have been a concern-but the credits kept piling up. And before long, Steiner was eyeing yet another Ph.D. “You know, it took a long time,” he said. “But fortunately, I'm here now and I've overcome the problems.”The physicists who worked with Steiner say his latest achievement is inspiring. For his part, Steiner is still working on publishing a dissertation(专题论文), and hewants to continue his research. “I would like to continue with it as long as my mind says OK.”21. Why did Manfred Steiner want to be a physicist?A. He intended to inspire his students.B. He was influenced by his family.C. He had a passion for physics.D. He felt he was good at physics.22. Which of the following best describes Manfred Steiner?A. Considerate.B. Determined.C. Conventional.D. Reliable.23. What does Manfred Steiner's story tell us?A. It's never too late to mend.B. Education is the key to success.C. He who laughs last, laughs longest.D.

He set a basketball hoop for me in the backyard, and best of all built a tree house beside it. But it wasn’t, because Jeremy Ross moved into the neighborhood.He laughed at me when he struck me out of the baseball game, and he had a party on his trampoline(蹦蹦床) while I wasn’t invited. Jeremy Ross became myenemy. I didn’t like him at all. Dad understood stuff like enemies. He told me he had enemies too when he was my age and that he knew a good way to get rid of them. “I’ll show you.” he said.He began to make Enemy Pie in the kitchen which he said was the fastest known way to get rid of enemies. Excitedly, I got my mind working: Dad might put disgusting things like weeds, earthworms and rocks from the backyard into the pie, but none of those. Instead, I smelled something really, really good from our kitchen. Confused, I went to ask my dad. “If the pie smelled bad, your enemy would never eat it.” he said. I was catching on.Still, I wasn’t quite sure how this enemy pie worked. What exactly did it do to enemies? Maybe it made their hair fall out, or made their breath smelly?“Everything is ready except that there’s one part left for Enemy Pie to work. You need to invite your enemy over. Even worse, you have to be nice and make friends with him. I know it’s not easy, but that’s the only way Enemy Pie can work.” Dad told me.It sounded horrible, but it was worth a try. All I had to do was spend time with Jeremy Ross and then he’d be out of my hair for the rest of my life.I knocked on Jeremy’s door. Jeremy seemed surprised when he opened the door, waiting for me to say something. “Um, can you come to my house and play with me?” I asked nervously.注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

必修第二册Unit3阅读理解题组——练速度(35 mins)阅读理解AThere is a very special wolf that lives in Africa.They are actually called the African wild dogs,or painted dogs.These animals live in open woodlands,or in the plains of Africa.Today,however,most of the animals can be found in the eastern or southern Africa.These animals are beautiful.They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs,and they have four toes on each of their four feet,also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five.Their fur is always different from each other.The fur is usually a combination of black,brown,red and white,and sometimes even yellow.No wonder they're called painted dogs.The African wild dog is a very social animal.They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty.The members of a group are always very close to one another.They communicate in their own language or body language.When someone is very old or sick,the others will help,and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak,which is what we should learn from.The family does everything together,from raising young and sleeping together,to hunting.When they hunt,they will work together using teamwork to kill animals that are larger than them.They sometimes hunt farm animals.This is unfortunate,because both poachers,and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.Before,there used to be many large groups throughout the land,but now the African wild dog is very rare.They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat.1.From the passage we learn that the African wild dog .A.lives in the north of AfricaB.has sixteen toes altogetherC.has pointed ears like most dogsD.lives in forests in groups2.Why do African wild dogs get the name “painted dogs”?A.They all have colorful fur.B.The dogs in the same group are of different colors.C.Artists love to paint them in different colors.D.None of them has the same color.3.According to the author,what should we learn from African wild dogs?A.They always do everything together.B.They help the sick,the elderly and the weak.C.They are always very close to one another.D.They communicate in their own language.4.Which of the following is NOT the reason why African wild dogs are becoming very rare?A.Poachers kill some of them.B.They are short of food sometimes.C.They are losing their habitat.D.Farmers shoot some of them.5.Where could this passage probably be found?A.The Travelers.B.Fashion Weekly.C.Animal World.D.Star Magazine.B(2021·天津南开一模)At age 22,Hikari Oberman has already been a lifeguard for four st week,Oberman talked to The Garden Island about how he helped save lives during a recent rescue.On Dec.30,Oberman and his co-worker Cope were parked in their truck at Anini Beach when two workers ran up to them and said,“I think someone's getting stuck in the channel!”“I grab our equipment.We start rolling out down there,” Oberman said.When he got out there,Oberman found a stand-up paddler,a man in his late 30s,struggling against the current,with an elderly man holding tightly to the back of the paddleboard.He said,“My co-worker grabs the stand-up guy.Meanwhile,I'm stuck with the older man.”Normally,Oberman said he would pull the paddler up,lay him on the surfboard,climb up behind and paddle from there.He tried that technique at first and quickly realized it was not a practicable option.They were not going anywhere.Waves hit against the extremely sharp reef very hard about 30 yards behind them,and the current was pulling them into it.“It's right behind us.If I stop paddling,we're definitely going to be in that zone,”he said.They started making progress toward the reef,where they might safely be able to climb out.Oberman just focused on forward movement.After about five minutes—“even though it felt longer”—Oberman said his partner had gotten the paddleboarder safely to shore and started coming back out to help.“I look back,and I see our jet ski.He's finally coming in the channel.We're not going to have to worry about that now.”It was a good rescue.When asked what it felt like to save someone's life,Oberman responded,“I love it!That's why we do it!”But as exciting as it might be to perform a big rescue,he explained that the most important part of his job is to keep people from getting into trouble in the first place.6.How did Hikari Oberman react to the two workers' cry for help?A.He dragged the two workers to his truck.B.He rolled the equipment to the channel.C.He called his co-worker to run to the beach.D.He made his way to the channel without delay.7.What does the underlined part “They were not going anywhere.”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.They were unwilling to go anywhere.B.They were waiting others for help.C.They were being pulled by the current.D.They were going to give up.8.What did the author want to show by mentioning the waves?A.It was the perfect time to surf.B.The reef was so hard to damage.C.The situation was extremely serious.D.The paddlers were pushed forward.9.Which of the following things contributed more to the rescue?A.The jet ski.B.The current.C.The paddleboard.D.The truck.10.What is the author's attitude towards Oberma's job?A.Skeptical.B.Tolerate.C.Approving.D.Frightened.C(2019·天津卷)Would you BET on the future of this man?He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes,and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》).And the story poses an interesting question:why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before?We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark.I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can't all get there.I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But,if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can't change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck,or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They've learned life's most valuable lesson.11.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that .A.loss of freedom stimulates one's creativityB.age is not a barrier to achieving one's goalC.misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD.disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success12.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.End one's struggle for liberty.B.Waste one's energy taking risks.C.Miss the opportunity to succeed.D.Lose the interest to continue learning.13.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.B.Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.C.Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.D.Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.14.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?A.A tough man can tolerate suffering.B.A wise man can live without self-pity.C.A man should try to satisfy people around him.D.A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.B.To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.C.To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.D.To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.DMany people around me make a difference to the world on a daily basis—being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others.I,like many of them,volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have.I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglasses team from International Relief Teams—an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.Our team went to a small town in Guatemala,San Augustin.We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic,put up the Snellen chart(an eye chart) on a wall,and began our work.Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns.Most had never received an eye exam before.They waited for hours patiently in the sun,never complaining.If we could help them out,their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming.Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses,even so these people expressed their gratitude sincerely.All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles.We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive,or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.It's so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers' small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala.Glasses in my country are so easily available,but to people in Guatemala,they are not.As those who could give them a hand,we watched their lives change.What a gift sight is—and what a difference being able to see clearly makes!Here,we'd like you to join us and take action to help people in need.And every day,those actions change lives.No action is too small;no action is ever wasted.16.According to Paragraph 1,the author is .A.a major host of good deedsB.a sponsor of an eyeglasses teamC.a generous neighbor in his communityD.a supporter of International Relief Teams17.What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglasses team?A.Their working environment is simple.B.They are medical experts nationwide.C.Their initial preparation is inadequate.D.They have served people in Guatemala for years.18.Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala?A.Kind and helpful.B.Poor but grateful.C.Considerate and patient.D.Knowledgeable but unhealthy.19.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.Rome was not built in a day.B.Actions speak louder than words.C.Don't look down upon those less fortunate.D.Don't take what you have today for granted.20.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To urge people to protect their eyes.B.To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala.C.To call on people to do good deeds in daily life.D.To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala.必修第二册Unit3阅读理解题组——练速度1.B解析推理判断题。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer.

【英语】高二英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure ofthe group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leaderfor a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to beput into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.（1）The passage is mainly about____________.A. choosing a good leader for a group.B. assessing the performance of a leader.C. team members' appreciation of a leader.D. qualities of a good group leader.（2）A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. recognize any mistakes as his own.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. control everything group members do.（3）According to "Concerns for members", which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous（4）Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?A. Offering a chance for group members to express themselves freely.B. Making it possibleto deal with group members' complaints.C. Allowing the leader to put his ideas into practice.D. Making group members productive by sharing their thoughts.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于好的领导所应具备的能力和品质的：责任心、关爱和善于倾听。

【英语】高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Forcing waiters and waitresses to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past several years, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group,is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the company's 13 restaurants.What, exactly,is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less it's everything. To start, leaving a waiter's pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视 ). And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的 ) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very littleto do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesn't encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff. The law allows restaurants to divide tips betweenfront-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders (调酒师 ), but not cooks. This creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing it.One of the most fascinating parts of Meyer's move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand,he won't simply add a standard extra charge to diners' bills. Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover thecost of a meal. If Meyer manages to move away from tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.（1） What's Danny Meyer's attitude towards stopping tipping?A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.（2） What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Tipping may disturb the restaurants' management.B. Tipping will guarantee diners high quality service.C. Tipping can arouse the staff's enthusiasm for work.D. Tipping will bring customers a sense of satisfaction.（3） What can we know about Union Square Hospitality group?A. Brian Palmer is in charge of it now.B. Its cooks earn much more than its servers.C. Restaurant tipping has been totally banned there.D. Diners will be charged more for the dishes there.（4） What is the topic of the passage?A. Restaurants' getting rid of tipping.C. The popularity of no-tipping restaurants.【答案】（1） B（2） A B. Difficulties that restaurants are faced with.D. Tips on running restaurants successfully.（3） D（4） A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇文，介了迫服和侍者靠客的小，而不是正常的工持生是一种毫无意、粗、独特的美国俗，去几年，一些步的餐老板消除种俗。
(英语)高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.（1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?A.It's time to shorten the learning process.B.Best learning takes place over time.C.University education should be watered down.D.College education calls for reform.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" modelB.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" modelC.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" modelD.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient（3）In most US universities, ________.A.college students are offered the co-op programB.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time（4）We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficientB.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。

It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry."I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解提高训练含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike .A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters highC. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that .A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB. the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC. the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to.A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the JetpackD. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A.

The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫).Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.（1）What is the result of the study?A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.（2）What did Chen say about the study?A.It is doubtful.B.It is extremely unfair.C.It is common and not representative.D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.（3）What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.（4）Where is the text most likely taken from?A.A life diary.B.A guidebook.C.A science magazine.D.A biography.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究表明，长期暴露在空气污染中会在语言和数学两个方面影响一个人的智力，因此每个国家都应关注空气污染否则人类将面临一个糟糕的局面。

Unit3 Using language 能力提升练I.阅读理解（2020江西吉安五校高二期末)Have you heard about Post Office Cats in Britain？They are mouse hunters. The post office has actually employed cats since 1868.They are not employed to sort or deliver mail，of course，but to protect the mail and keep the population of mice under control. They make sure your morning post arrives free from damage caused by rats and mice.London post offices were the first to try out the experiment. Within a few months the population of mice had shrunk sharply. Other post offices all over the country were soon using cats in the war against rats and mice as well. Within ten years the pay of the cats was improved from one and a half old pence a day to six or nine pence a day. Now the average rate of pay is about a few pounds a month.Some of the hard-working cats have become quite famous. In 1980, a cat named Lucky stopped an attempted robbery in a Worcestershire post office on her own. As the two burglars made their way in through the window, Lucky started an attack and they fled empty-handed. Another excellent cat was Jerry of the Earls Court post office in London. He served the building for 16 years and was on duty for 24 hours every day. He drove all the mice away.However, there are fewer cats employed by the post office than at any time in the past. With the faster movement of the mail and better surroundings, post office cats are not always needed. But many post offices still employ them and they become great friends with the postmen. According to the post office, there is no plan for their services to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.1. Cats were introduced to British post offices to _____.A. help sort and deliver mail and papersB. guard the building against thievesC. keep mail and papers undamagedD. search for certain dangers in mail2.

The cat named Lucky became famous because _____.A. she served the post office for 16 years aroundB. she alone drove two burglars away from the post officeC. she protected mail from being bitten by miceD. she was employed to sort and deliver mail4. We may learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. the duty of the cats has been replaced by machinesB. all the post offices are now completely mice freeC. cats are now considered of little use in post officesD. cats will still be seen in service for quite a long timeⅡ.完形填空（2020北京朝阳区高二期末）New DistractionsMadeline’s family vacation to the beach was usually the highlight of her summer.

I like Animal World programAnimal world is my favorite program. Firstly, I like animals very much. Secondly, the host has the ability to make the program lively and interesting. Thirdly, form the program I have gained a lot of knowledge of animals and that about animal’s lives which were unknown to me before. By watching theprogram I understand the relationship between people and animal, people and nature.Also I know the importance of nature protection. I know animals are part of nature; they can’t be separated from the human being. If we want to live well, we must keep the balance of nature.We should let everyone understand this and show our love toward nature and animals.Should students wear famous brands?Dear Xu Haiqing,We haven’t met each other for a long time. I miss you very much. How is everything going?I’ve heard that you are in blue/in low spirits these days because your normal family condition can’t afford so me famous brands. I think you really needn’t feel unhappy about that. First of all, you’re still a student and shouldn’t compete with others in clothes, schoolbags or something like that. Your main task is to study well and gain more knowledge.And maybe you think the quality of the goods produced by the famous company is good. However, there are still many goods which are not only cheap but also in good quality. For example, if a dress fits you and isn’t very expensive, that’s an ideal dress, I think choosing what fits you is far more important than brands.Perhaps you feel it an honor wearing in clothes or using the things produced by famous companies, for it shows you can afford these expensive goods. But I would like to say that’s not your honor but your parents’ effort! So why should you be proud of that?And at last, if you really like a style of famous brand clothes, just wait, and maybe they will be on sale someday. At that time (by then) you can take them.In a word, I don’t think it’s necessary f or us to use goods produced by famous companies. I wish you would be more careful about it. I wish you a good luck.Sincerely yours,Tommy。
