二轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we're alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there's life out there has been something humankind's been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter(周长)of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST's designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. "Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel (关联的) robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1mm," Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope's panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.FAST's engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. "There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST's construction, told Xinhua.And although it wasn't yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars (脉冲星) have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.(1)What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the new giant telescope.B. To explain why there is life in universe.C. To remind readers to think about the life in space.D. To emphasize the question that should be answered.(2)What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. The telescope is made up of many panels.B. The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.C. The engineer can handle FAST's position accurately.D. The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.(3)Why was FAST built in Guizhou?A. Because Guizhou is a remote province.B. Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.C. Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.D. Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.(4)What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. FAST's timeline.B. FAST's future.C. FAST's operation.D. FAST's discoveries.【答案】(1)A(2)D(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国500米口径球面射电望远镜,它的设计原理、选址以及发展前景等多方面的信息。

2016高考英语二轮:语篇阅读高分练(4)及答案语篇阅读高分练(四)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·甘肃省部分普通高中高三2月联考)Energy independence.It has a nice ring to it.Doesn’t it? If you think so,you’re not alone,because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades,and never more so than in the past few years,when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence”and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion “energy security”are,however,slippery concepts that are rarely through,though.What is it that we want independence from,exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes,there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available,and more may become available,but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second,Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third,there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do,we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much,the United States is also a large exporter of oil products,selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and,in fact,relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted,we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices,at the same time,we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world. 1.What does the author think of biofuels?A.They keep America’s economy running healthily.B.They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C.They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D.They cause serious damage to the environment.2.Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.It wants to keep its own environment intact.D.Its own oil production falls short of demand.3.What does the author say about oil trade?A.It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C.It makes for economic prosperity.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.BWhat does it take to be a good neighbour?Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours,ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect the personal privacy(隐私).When someone new moves into the neighbourhood,you’d better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in,they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day,not respecting their privacy.It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood.This can not only make you get along well with them,but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard,it shows that you likethem and try to be friendly.If you are cordial(热诚的) to them,they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty,it is good to offer your help.Even though you haven’t talked a lot to the people down the street,they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in need.In conclusion,if you respect their personal privacy,treat them cordially and be helpful when you see they are in need,you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!4.What should we do when a new neighbour moves in?A.Go to offer some advice.B.Go to say hello immediately.C.Wave politely through the window.D.Wait and see when and how to pay a visit.5.If we are always friendly to neighbours,we can ________.A.have our own privacyB.know more about their lifeC.make close friends with themD.keep our family members safe6.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.B.Everybody sometimes gets into trouble.C.The neighbours should help each other.D.People needn’t talk a lot to their neighbours.7.As a good neighbour,a person should always be ________.A.brave,honest and kindB.helpful,strong and strictC.honest,active and friendlyD.respectful,friendly and helpfulⅡ.完形填空(2015·河北衡水中学高三一模)Face Adversity(逆境) with a SmileI told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the

It’s not somethingI’d like to do.So I was relieved to read that there’s a universitywith a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading,in England,has just opened a newclearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that,do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985,after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew,London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project,Professor Paul Hadley,says,“One of the m ain issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean,healthy,interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine,clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries,including several in West Africa.That’s where 75%of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide es from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy:it employs about two million people.Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says,“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly,particularly in countries like China,where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”1.What is the text mainly about?A.Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B.Planting cocoa worldwide.C.Keeping cocoa in greenhouse.D.Finding the new market for cocoa.2.The institution’s cocoa project is to .A.have cocoa skin removedB.offer more jobs to peopleC.ensure the quality of cocoaD.supply cocoa for two million people3.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.The taste of chocolates is changing.B.Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.C.People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D.Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.4.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To educate.

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案高考英语二轮复习阅读训练1:What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.learning better at school shows power in your jobthe better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.we should think about how to find our career47. From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.A. heavy- handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. The relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. How to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at school二轮复习阅读训练答案:46- 50 BDCAA高考英语二轮复习阅读训练2:In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self –worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner andpays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self – respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discovera new meaning in competition.41.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self – respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition42.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.43.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success44.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those witha desire to fail ?A.Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.Ones success in competition needs great efforts.C.Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.45.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life – and – death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.二轮复习阅读训练答案:41.B 42.A 43.C 44.A 45.D。

2021高考英语二轮总练习阅读理解精选〔10〕及解析AI'm fat, I'm too skinny.I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs.Do any of these statements sound familiar Are you used to putting yourself down If so, you' re not alone.As a teen, you're going through many changes in your body.And as your body changes, so does your image of yourself.Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect their self-esteem 〔自尊〕.If you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are.This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally.Developing these parts of yourself can help boost 〔提升〕yourself-esteem.A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle 〔such as exercising and eating right〕are a great combination for building good self-esteem.Some people think they need to change how they look oract to feel good about themselves.But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size or color it comes in.If you are very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to verify 〔核实〕that things are OK.But it is no one's business but your own what your body is like—ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can't.Everyone has things about themselves that they can't change and need to accept—like their height, for example, or their shoe size.When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop.Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three good things every day.By focusing on the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself.The most important thing is to get help if you feel like your body image and self-esteem are affecting your life.56.If we have a positive body image, we will_____.A.concentrate on our body image onlyB.not develop strong self-esteemC.like and accept ourselves as we areD.be less independent of our parents57.______ can NOT help to boost your self-esteem.A.Growing independent from your parentsB.Accepting your own body as it actually isC.Having a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyleD.Improving your body image as much as you can 58.To improve our body image, we have to _____.A.think about ourselvesB.be happy with ourselvesC.change the shape, size or color of one's bodyD.check with our doctor to verify that our body is OK 59.Which is probably the best title of the passage A.Importance of Body ImageB.Effects on a Person's Self-esteemC.Tips for Improving Body ImageD.Self-esteem and Body ImageB60.Where can we most probably read this textA.In a newspaper.B.In a magazine.C.In traveling guide.D.In a history textbook.61.The business hours of Cook's Cottage on Saturday in the summer are _____A.11:00 am—2:00 pm B.5:00 pm—10:30 pmC.9:00 am—5:30 pm D.9:00 am—5:00 pm.62.The Anchorage Restaurant is ____.A.in Williamstown B.in the center of the cityC.in Anchorage D.in Port Philip Bay63.Where can you spend the night in a tourA.Cook's Cottage.B.Sovereign Hill.C.Sydney Tower.D.Westfield Counterpoint.CIn an age dominated 〔控制旳〕by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning.Gone are the days when, if we couldn't make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audiomaterials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic〔时有时无旳〕radio and TV programmes.With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain 〔统领〕at our fingertips.Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted 〔进展〕and marked online.Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier.Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience.Enter the concept of blended 〔融合旳〕learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact.Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face 〔often abbreviated to F2F〕teaching, will achieve better results.For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning,such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology.Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning.For example, in an ELT 〔English Language Teaching 〕environment, a simple scenario 〔剧情概要〕might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text.Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely.During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work.64.What is the main idea of this passageA.Blended learning is an effective learning approach.B.More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials,C.There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world.D.Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning.65.Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students A.Practical sessions.B.Tackling the needs of an individual student.C.Dealing with more subjective questions.D.Providing answers to clear-cut questions.66.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.the radio and TV in the past were of poor qualityB.people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadaysC.it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the pastD.it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days67.Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learningA.Critical.B.Objective 〔客观旳〕.C.Supportive.D.Neutral 〔中立旳〕.DBotany 〔植物学〕, the study of plants, occupies a particular position in the history of human knowledge.For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest 〔模糊旳〕〕of insights.It is impossible to know today justwhat our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.This is logical.Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things even for other plants.They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food but also for clothing, tools, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes.Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each.To them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge grows.Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an apple.When nor Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer fields the next season—the first, great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken.Grains were discovered and fromthem flowed the wonder of agriculture: cultivated crops.From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild, and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.68.What does the writer mean when he says "This is logical"in the first paragraphA.Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.B.It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.C.There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor's knowledge of plant.D.It is reasonable to assume our ancestors behave much like people in pre-industrial societies.69.According to the passage, general knowledge of botany begun to fade away because ____.A.people no longer value plants as a useful resourceB.direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased C.botany is not recognized as a special branch of scienceD.research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants70.We learn that the first great step toward the practice of agriculture is____.A.the changing diets of early humansB.the development of a system of names for plantsC.the invention of agricultural implements 〔工具〕and machineryD.the discovery of certain grasses that could be harvested and replanted71.Human would depend on the controlled production of a few plants for living withA.the knowledge of plants B.the discovery of certain grassesC.the development of machinery D.the appearance of agricultureEIt has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents.The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar〔留下疤痕〕a child's personality and incline to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe this.But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.Firstly, anthropologists 〔人类学家〕point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone.But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understand.Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it.But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects.The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be noticed by the use of statistics.Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would becertain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children's development.But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.72.This passage is mainly talking about________.A.children's personalityB.advantages of infants' early careC.infants' educationD.negative effect of infant school73.The phrase "day care in the first paragraph probably means_____.A.nursing school B.baby-sitter C.boarding school D.primary school74.According to Bowlby, children under the age of three______.A.should not be sent to schoolB.should be cared for outside the homeC.will not suffer fro m parental separationD.don't mind who will look after them75.The argument against Bowlby's conclusion shows that___.A.children have problems with day careB.there is no negative effect on infants who go to school before threeC.there is a long-term effect on infants who go to school before threeD.children who are sent to school before three are sent to mental

高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyon's edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 'got it – done', barely even glancing at the magnificent sc ene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized on their computers.(1)Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits. B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.(2)What can we learn from Henkel's study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve people's memories.(3)The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “________”.A. the cameraB. technologyC. the eventD. an object(4)What is the article mainly about?A. People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one's memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)C(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,人们都有拍照的喜好,拍照有助于我们记忆。

高考英语二轮复习阅读练习1:Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. Areally fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street bya car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you haveto decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to goand live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger isno longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.60. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _________.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful of pain61. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger62. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmfulB. Fear is always something helpfulC . Fear is something that can be avoidedD. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63. The best title for this passage should be __________.A. No Pains, No GainsB. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D . The Reason Why People Fear二轮复习阅读练习答案:60—63 CBAC高考英语二轮复习阅读练习2:Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twiceas big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years,there have been growing concerns about thefloating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste,resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full,lessening their desire to eat ordrink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste,and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers canalso get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A;F;C;D;G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。

There were students who were friends with Korten and who weren’t, But deep down, our hero knew that he was “that kid” in school because of his Korten was often nulled Butism (自闭症). Diagnosed that he could never speak, Korten was often pulled out of class for speech treatment. He was infa mous for having “breakdowns” in the middle of a class and for seeing specialists inside and outside of the school.When all hope seemed lost, it was athletics that came to Korten’s rescue. After trying swimming, he took up running and joined the cross-country team of his school. But autism seriously affected him, In the beginning, Korten couldn’t run around the school yard without stopping at least a couple of times. Frustrated, he would often drop out of them.However, the sportsperson’s mentality (心态) which was locked up by his autism before had begun to rise. Despite his condition, Korten decided to take part in the cross-country races during the upcoming season. He worked on his skills with his father during the summer break and to his surprise, Korten was not only competing but successfully finishing the races with some of the best records. He even almost won the 1,500-metre race that year.When he started his college life, Korten realized that he wasn’t the only one with “issues”. There were people who, though, may not be autistic, were fighting their own battles. Having displayed his real and complete self in front of the world, Korten not only was able to give his 100% to sports, but also was awarded the “Who’s who among students on campus”, a valuable recognition given to those with high academics along with participating in many after-school activities.;4.Why was Korten referred to as “that kid” in school?A.He dropped out of school. B.He had no friends at school.C.He was a hero of his school. D.He was often absent for his condition.;5.What inspired Korten’s inner strength?A.His love for sport. B.His special condition.C.His newly-found fighting spirit. D.His father’s encouragement.;6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.One should accept his real self. B.Everyone in college fought for a goal. C.Few students in college knew Korten. D.Korten was more recognized in academics.;7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Show Concern for Autism B.Face Your Life ChallengesC.Find an Interest in a Sport D.Recognize Your Own Issue(三)Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I of ten added my name to the list.This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator(朗读者) for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their authors. If it were authors’ own voice, thei r stories would touch me.Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud—highlights so far have included Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming bookabout political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a ‘ the’, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioral is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.;8.What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?A.The purpose of schooling. B.His love for reading aloud.C.The power of encouragement. D.His talent for silent reading.;9.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?A.He regrets being a TV host. B.He doesn’t like non-fiction at all.C.He lacks working experience. D.He is aware of his disadvantages.;10.Why could the author get the job as a narrator?A.Because he was specifically invited. B.Because he applied for it in person. C.Because he read many bedtime stories. D.Because he had a big crowd of fans.;11.What does the author think of being a narrator?A.Frightening but profitable. B.Rewarding but unsafe.C.Demanding but enjoyable. D.Promising but unstable.(四)Curiosity is key to learning. In fact, studies show that, when we’re curious about a subject, we are much more likely to remember information we learned about that subject. If you’re an educational professional or are considering earning a teaching degree and entering the classroom, knowing how to enlighten students’ curiosity can help you improve learning outcomes.Curiosity most often begins with “why”. Why does natural gas burn blue? Why is blue spelled blue and not blew? Why does the wind blow? If you want to fire up your students’ curiosity, you need to encourage them to ask and try to answer questions. That means you should avoid giving tedious lectures where you explain everything. Instead, try designing your classes so that you’re posing questions. And be sure to leave openings for students to participate and ask questions about what they’re learning.Not every question your students ask will be a question you expect. But all questions prove a curious mind, so don’t dismiss questions that don’t fit with your lesson. Instead, leave unstructured time in class to address unexpected questions, or establish a system whereby unexpected questions can be “stored” for later, like on a whiteboard or in an online document.In addition to maki ng room for unexpected questions, you should also make room for students’ exploration of their questions. If you give your students enough time to discuss questions, their curiosity is certainly to expand.Curiosity is a fuel. It drives us to try to figure things out and, finally, to learn. So make sure you give your students time for reflection after every class. Ask them to create a quick piece of art toreflect what they’ve learned. Not only does this kind of reflection aid in learning, it can also teac h students to make curiosity a constantly present part of their lives.;12.Why is curiosity vital to study according to the text?A.It improves students’ memory.B.It helps gain a better learning result.C.It assists teachers in encouraging students.D.It promotes the understanding of each other.;13.What does the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Dull. B.Considerable. C.Essential. D.Popular.;14.How can a teacher expand students’ curiosity?A.By asking as many questions as possible.B.By encouraging students to ask unexpected questions.C.By offering students sufficient time to discuss questions.D.By dismissing the questions that don’t fit with the lesson.;15.What is this text mainly about?A.Definition of curiosity. B.Significance of imagination.C.Ways of making classes educative. D.Methods for enlightening curiosity.参考答案1.B2.C3.C4.D5.C6.A7.B8.B9.D10.A11.C12.B13.A14.C15.D。

My right front tooth was very loose and about to fall out.With the musical only four days away and state solo and ensemble a week away.It was vexatious!After going to the dentist and getting my tooth fixed,I went home and to bed after taking the prescribed painkillers.That Friday,Saturday,and Sunday,I performed in the musical.I also went to state solo and ensemble the week after and received a one (the best score one can receive),regardless of the pain and discomfort I endured.I was determined to do what I love—play music...and I did.1.How was the drill place?A.It was not good.

ourlives.Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps 处于沮丧中, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your comer store?I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if Idon't know the person I'm joking around with.My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardestjob anyone could imagine.This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy 礼貌 to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in th eir bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there withoutthe slightest smile on their face.They don't get the joke that makes others laugh.I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space.How can people notget a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on alot of medications to keep us from goingcrazy.There is too much sadness in this present world.It drives people crazy.We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.So, I believe our bestmedicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.51.According to the author, humor is useful in

thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge.it is timeyou build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way youthink.Interestingly, our self-images are often quitedifferent from the images others hold about US.Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be.Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changingyour self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do everyd ay.Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see aboutyourself.Well, roll up your sleeves and make a changeof it as your pr imary task.If you think you’re silly because youaren’t good at math, find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because youcan’t run a mile, get to the track and practice.If youthink you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new c lothes.But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of yourpositive qualities.Changing the way you thinkand working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat拍 yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.Good luck!41.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourselfC.are unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself42.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.A.have positive effectsB.are probably

self-image.D.How to develop your good qualities.45.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Parents.B.Adolescents.cators.D.People in general.二轮复习阅读训练答案:41—45CBDCB感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

2016高考英语二轮:语篇阅读高分练(6)及答案语篇阅读高分练(六)(建议用时:25分钟)阅读理解A(2015·河北高三教学质检)The human body is designed to move.But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around.As we know,we sit while we’re eating,we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV.And many of us sit for many hours at work.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years.Peter Katzmarzyk,a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States,says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives,meaning it is something we do all the time,everywhere.However,Mr.Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours.He also says you may exercise often,“We can’t throw away physical activity.It’s extremely important.We have 60 years of research showing us that.”Mr.Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life.“Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare.There’s only been a few of them,actually five or six now,in the last four or five years.”They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one-point four years to life.Luckily,change is already coming to some offices,especially in the design of desks.A “standing desk”lets people stand while they work.Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”.A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place.Even some U.S.schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.Mr.Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.1.The underlined word “ubiquitous”is closest in meaning to “________”.A.dangerous B.awkwardC.comfortable D.common2.Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr.Katzmarzyk?A.Sitting too long may help increase one’s life.B.Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.C.Watching TV is bad,but can broaden one’s horizons.D.Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.3.What does Mr.Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?A.It’s a relatively new area of study.B.It’s a hot subject studied by experts.C.It’s a study that begins too late.D.It’s not ignored by many experts.4.Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?A.To give them more comfort.B.To improve their work efficiency.C.To offer them the chance to exercise.D.To seek pleasure while working.BWhere Has the Time Gone?is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese.Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return.However,sometimes,daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older.What should we do?Let’s have a look at a letter of a father’s.Dear son,One day if you see me old and I am not myself,have patience and try to understand me.If I get dirty when eating...,if I cannot dress...,have patience.Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.If,when I speak to you,I say the same things one thousand and one times,do not stop me and listen to me.When you were small,I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame(羞辱) me nor scold(责备) me.Rememberwhen I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented,in order that you wanted to bath.When you see me meet something new,give me the necessary time and don’t laugh at me.I taught you how to do so many things...to eat well,to dress well...to face life.If I do not want to eat,do not force me.I know well when I need to and when not.When my legs do not allow me to walk,give me your hand the same way I did when you gave your first steps.When sometimes I lose the memory during our conversation,let me have the necessary time to remember.And if I cannot do it,do not become nervous because the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen to me.Yours,Father5.What do the

alone.C.Go for a walking with them.D.Be with them and listen to them.8.Why does the writer write this passage?A.To introduce the song,Where Has the Time Gone?B.To show what we should do when our parents are old.C.To show a father’s love to his son.D.To complain that we are too busy.CLike all relationships,a love affair with running has its ups and downs.One day you can’t imagine your life without running,and the next you may be cursing at yourself (while running,of course) for getting started with this crazy sport.If you have moments when your love for running is fading (and who doesn’t),here are some ways to re-ignite(点燃) the spark:1.Talk to other runners.Whether you’re discussing your past glorious days or future running goals,talking about running with other runners can help remind you of why you feel in love with it in the first place.2.Buy yourself some new running gear.Treat yourself to some new running gear,such as a new shirt or running socks,as a reward for your hard work.The treat will make you feel energized,and reinforce your commitment to your training.After all,who doesn’t look forward to wearing that new,cool-looking running gear on a long run?If you don’t need any new gear,a massage or pedicure(足疗) is always a nice reward. 3.Display your bling(战绩).Having visual reminders of your running accomplishments can help keep you motivated to get out there again (and collect more bling).Get one of those cool medal hanging racks to keep your race medals organized and add some visual interest to one of your walls.9.How many ways are mentioned to re-ignite your love for running?A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.10.Why should you talk to other runners?A.It can remind you of the time when you loved running.B.It can remind you of the reason why you loved running.C.It can remind you whether running is good or not.D.It can remind you of the person you ran with in the past.11.What is the purpose of writing the passage?A.To share some ways of running.B.To ask you to run more.C.To share some ways of re-igniting the love of running.D.To tell you running is very important.答案精析语篇阅读高分练(六)1.D[词义猜测题。

高考保分巩固练十限时50分钟Ⅰ. 阅读理解Some people are just bound to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. ”T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers would feel uneasy when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists for the next term. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. T. J. was moving on, but certainly not moving up.I met T. J. for the first time at a weekend leadership retreat. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. When I showed up to lead their first retreat, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have a total range of students represented today, from the student body president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town. ”At the start of the training, Ware was standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” lookon his face. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J. ’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening.The next day, T. J. was very active in all the activities. By the end of the retreat, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected T. J. co-chairman of the team. The student council president would be taking his instruction from T. J. Ware. A group of teachers strongly opposed to his being elected co-chairman. The very project was to be a huge food drive, organized by the Homeless Project team. These teachers reminded Coggshall, the principal, “He has an arrest record as long as your arm. He’ll probably steal half the food. ”Mr Coggshall reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and strengthen its practice until true change could take place. The teachers left the meeting shaking their heads, firmly convinced that failure was approaching.Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students in a drive to collect food and collected a school record: 2, 854 cans of food injust two hours. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J. ’s picture was up there for doing something great. T. J. totally changed and led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1, 000 pairs of shoes for the homeless shetler.T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He has become productive and he is flying quite nicely these days.【文章大意】这是一篇情感教育故事。

每个空格只填1个单词。

Most people have some regret that they just can't seem to get rid of. But holding on to regret about the past that can't be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future. Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy. To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back.Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions. Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must think about all conditions carefully and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one. Big decisions aren't the only ones that require forethought, though. Before you become angry and say something you will regret later, think about what you're going to say.Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you'll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think. But don't just daydream about those goals—make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do.When you're feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn't a problem. But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself. You can do what you want and don't get angry with yourself about your shortcomings. On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on. Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you. Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what's important in life. You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens.Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change. Treat those things properly and move on. Life is hard, but it is precious. Don't waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it.consideration;list;practice;health;unchangeable【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,很多人都有一些永远无法清除的遗憾,总是纠缠无法改变的遗憾可能会对我们的未来产生不好的影响。

语篇阅读高分练(十)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·河南商丘市高三一模)2014 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone,killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2015.It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever,which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.Ebola is named after the Ebola River,where it was first discovered in 1976.There are five different types of the Ebola virus,each named after where they first happened:Sudan,Ivory Coast,Reston,Bundibugyo,and Zaire.The deadliest of the five,Zaire,was responsible for the 2012 out­break,and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats,which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals.Once infected,a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Unfortunately,there are no disease­specific treatments for Ebola.Health­care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition.Ebola can kill 90% of those infected,especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients,they are forced to wear strict protective clothes,and in some cases,not even allowed to get close to the infected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.What’s worse,since we live in an interconnected world,where the situation in one country can affect us all,the influences of Ebola are huge:damaging trade relations,affecting foreign visitors,and weakening entire countries.It is fearedthat the disease may spread throughout west African countries.For every country,a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.1.What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage?A.To arouse the reader’s concern.B.To summarize the whole passage.C.To give a detailed description of Ebola.D.To introduce the theme of the whole passage.2.What can we infer about the Ebola virus?A.It has caused a panic in many countries.B.It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C.A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola.D.Anyone who was infected Ebola will die.3.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.A.what the Ebola virus isB.how the Ebola virus spreadsC.how the Ebola virus is treatedD.how the Ebola virus affects the life4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far.B.Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C.Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.D.Females are easier to be infected by Ebola.B(2015·沈阳市郊联体高三二模)Just 25 years ago,the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher,banker and doctor.Now,they want to be sports star,pop star and actor,according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel,a character in the popular TV show Glee,may be said to speak for British teenager s.“Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” She said.Emma Brockes,a reporter with the Guardian,believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity(名人) culture” that is to blame.“When children wanted to be doctor,it wasn’t because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now;you go where the respect is.” She wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression.Dr.Carlo Strenger,of Tel Aviv University,studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance:Searching for Meaning in the21st Century.He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network,which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession(痴迷).”“As humans,we naturally measure ourselves to those around us,but now we live in a global village.We are comparing ourselves with the most ‘important’ people in the world and finding ourselves wanting,” h e said.Today,even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out?Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity.Dr.Strenger said that it is a process called “active self­acceptance through a constant search for self­knowledge through life.”“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement,” he said. 5.According to Emma Brockes,what causes the increasing level of anxiety? A.Choices of future careers.B.Access to the global network.C.Bad influences of celebrities.D.Endless comparison with others.6.Which of the following is TRUE of Dr.Carlo Strenger?A.He is a newspaper reporter.B.He is the spokesman of teenagers.C.He tells success stories on TV.D.He is against ranking people with wealth.7.Dr.Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should ________.A.seek active self­acceptanceB.stick to their own dreamsC.make great achievementsD.search for the secret of wealth8.The text is mainly written to ________.A.talk about job choicesB.analyse a social phenomenonC.encourage celebrity cultureD.introduce three famous peopleⅡ.完形填空(2015·天津武清区高三三模)“Kevin,we are getting a divorce,” said my mother.My heart plunged(急降).I was 9 years old and I thought that my life was going to __9__.My brother and I were going to move with my mother to southern California.My dad was to __10__ in New Jersey because of work.My family was splitting apart.Now that my mom is a single parent,I do my own __11__,make dinner and do extra chores around the house.__12__ it was hard at first,I now recognize the positive __13__ that this responsibility had on me.My mother gave me these __14__ and duties so that I would learn to become self­disciplined(自律的) and trustworthy.I strive to display these __15__ in all aspects of my life,and have seen the benefits.When I was only 11 years old,my __16__ told me that he was selecting me as soccer team captain because of my determination and ability to get my teammates to __17__ themselves.We __18__ the championship,but I won the fair play award for keeping my team together.I am always determined to be an individual and not participate in anything that I feel is __19__.I am,for example,extremely __20__ of my decision not to drink alcohol.Personally,I don’t feel the need to drink to have fun,and I stand by my decision even when others try to __21__ me.My mom and dad both found new __22__ and happily remarried.I am __23__ close tomy father,even though he lives 4,800 km away.I thought my parents’ divorce was going to be the worst thing that __24__ happened to me.Ironically(讽刺的是),it turned out to be the __25__.I wasn’t willing to let it __26__ my life without putting up a fight,and neither was my family.At age 9,I struggled with the confusion and __27__ of divorce.Today,at age 16,I understand that __28__ can bring opportunity and success,and that hard work,determination and self­discipline can turn your w orst time into your best time. 9.A.fall apart B.stand outC.carry on D.come true10.A.abandon B.remainC.accompany D.practice11.A.homework B.exerciseC.decision D.laundry12.A.Although B.BecauseC.If D.Since13.A.attitude B.experienceC.effect D.situation14.A.achievements B.abilitiesC.chores D.disadvantages15.A.chores B.difficultiesC.emotions D.qualities16.A.father B.headmasterC.brother D.coach17.A.enjoy B.teachC.help D.push18.A.won B.lostC.had D.achieved19.A.wrong B.abnormalC.dynamic D.violent20.A.afraid B.tiredC.proud D.fond 21.A.cheat B.persuade C.please D.enlighten 22.A.families B.jobs C.kids D.partners 23.A.still B.not C.rarely D.less 24.A.never B.even C.ever D.almost 25.A.best B.worst C.busiest D.first 26.A.challenge B.protect C.beat D.ruin 27.A.pain B.memory C.significance D.emergency 28.A.obstacles B.families C.parents D.routines答案精析语篇阅读高分练(十)Ⅰ.1.A[篇章结构题。
