It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhatdifferent.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to theSt. Alban neighborhood, feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a success only in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at home and put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, and virtual work becomes reality.41.

Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.A. the history of virtual tourismB. the advantages of virtual tourismC. the ways of attracting more touristsD. how to operate Life Clipper44. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Tourists can get used to seeing the world on their own once equipped.B. Tourists can touch what they see through the visor.C. Life Clipper can make tourists see images of ancient times.D. Life Clipper has been used in other areas of our lives.45. What would be the best title for the passage?A.

2022高考英语二轮(阅读理解)精品练习(07)及解析(**********)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learn lng to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if cor rected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare (比较) their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathemat ics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the chil dren learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_______A. listening to skilled people's adviceB. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do答案:D 指导:儿童学习技能的最佳方法是仿照他人所做的情况,篇首以语言习得为例,说明儿童观看、仿照、运用的系列过程。

Have you ever noticed the chairs you sit 1 in cafes or restaurants?Most people don’t pay attention to the cafe chairs they use.However,there is one very simple andelegantly-designed chair, 2 (know) as the “French series”.This chair can be seen more often than any other chair.The original chair was the result of years of experiments.The inventor wanted to produce a chair that could be mass-produced and was inexpensive,but it was only after many trials that he finally succeeded in 3 (make) one.The chair he invented was probably the first one to be both attractive and inexpensive enough for anyone to lions of chairs of this type have been bought since the first one went on sale in 4 1930s.All sorts of people,some famous,some ordinary,have sat on the chair since the original was invented.There are several 5 (reason) for the chair’s enduring popularity.It is great to sit on,and it 6 (look) good;the basic design is still fresh and contemporary.Also,this type of chair seems to improve as it gets older.The glue, 7 holds the chair together,loosens over time,making the chair even more comfortable 8 (sit) on.A further reason is that the chair is cleverly designed with only a few pieces of wood,so the chair parts can 9 (send) anywhere and put together 10 (easy).It is no wonder this type of chair has remained so popular.Even today,furniture designers are still trying to create equally successful designs.Ⅱ.阅读理解【科普知识类】Losing weight comes with a lot of health benefits—including making your brain sharper.Yes,it turns out that overweight may damage cognitive functions (认知功能) such as memory and attention.There have been few studies of overweight and cognitive functioning,possibly because it is generally believed that it is not a primary risk cause for poor cognitive performance.Losing weight,therefore,may help improve these mental functions,according to a new research led by John Gunstad,assistant professor of psychology at Kent State University.Growing evidence suggests that being fat is linked to cognitive deficits (缺陷).So Gunstad and his team guessed that losing weight might improve mental function.For their study,they measured memory and attention in a group of 150 overweight participants,some of whom had some kind of operation for weight loss and some did not.All of the volunteers completed mental skills tests to assess their abilities of memory and attention at the beginning of the study,and again 12 weeks later.To begin with,about 24% of the patients showed damaged learning and 23% showed signs of poor memory when tested.At the end of the study,those who had lost weight after operation improved their scores into the average or above average range for cognitive functions.Scores for the volunteers who didn’t lose weight dropped even further.The study helped Gunstad to find out whether losing weight had any effect on mental function.Now that he’s seen the positive effect that weight loss can have on memory and attention,he says he will next study those who choose to lose weight by the traditional way —eating healthier and getting more active.He expects that losing weight in this way will havea similarly positive effect on the brain.“If we can improve the condition with operations,then we can probably produce the same change with behavioral weight loss as well,” he says.1.There is less research on overweight and cognitive functions because researchers .A.believe overweight only affects our bodyB.have focused on ways to sharpen people’s mindC.do not consider overweight a main cause for low cognitive abilityD.are clear about the relation between weight and mental functions2.The result of Gunstad’s study shows that .A.losing weight has little effect on people’s memoryB.losing weight can improve people’s mental functionsC.overweight people are likely to have psychology problemsD.overweight people’s abilities of concentration differ greatly3. What is Gunstad planning to prove next in his research?A.Slim people are smarter than overweight people.B.Healthy diet is better than exercise in losing weight.C.Traditional ways of losing weight are better than operation.D.Overweight people will get smarter by taking more exercise.4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Body Weight and HealthB.Losing Weight by OperationC.Ways to Improve Mental FunctionsD.Losing Weight to Sharpen Your MindⅢ.完形填空(2015兰州高三诊断考试)We often see hitchhikers (搭便车的人),standing by the side of the road,thumb sticking out,waiting for a lift.But it is getting 1 nowadays.What killed hitchhiking? 2 is often mentioned as a reason.Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime 3 many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. 4 no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester 5 reflects the safety fear: 6 ,strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be 7 complex:hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are 8 .Plenty of people 9 hitchhike in Poland and Romania.Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange.Why can’t they 10 cars?Why can’t they take the coach or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have 11 a car;many of the 12 will be quite old.The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. 13 my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike.The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer,retired surgeon,tank commander,carpenter,man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple 14 in the mountains.My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red,spotted scarves.Most just wanted to do someone a good turn;a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help 15 .The future of hitchhiking most 16 lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet,via sites such as .But for now,you can still stick your thumb out (actually,I didn’t do much of that, 17 just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful,caring,sharing,unafraid people—will stop.In the UK,with its cheap 18 and reasonable rail service,I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it.But having enjoyed it so much,I’m ready now to do a big trip 19 Europe and beyond.In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India.How wonderful it would be to haveanother go, 20 Afghanistan might be a challenge.I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.1.A.valuable B.hardly C.rare D.little2.A.Fear B.Safety C.Allowance D.Expense3.A.has put B.had been put C.has been put D.have put4.A.What B.Which C.Whether D.That5.A.no more B.no need C.no reason D.no doubt6.A.a short B.a clumsy C.a small D.a large7.A.most B.more C.very D.much8.A.poor B.heavy C.busy D.convenient9.A.seldom B.always C.still D.never10.A.afford B.offer C.affect D.offend11.A.effect to B.effect on C.access in D.access to12.A.remain B.rest C.pedestrians D.citizens13.A.While B.When C.Yet D.Though14.A.living up B.lived down C.was living up D.was living down15.A.stopping B.but stop C.stop D.stopped16.A.likely B.certainly C.positively D.actively17.A.pretending B.preparing C.preferring D.defending18.A.vehicles B.coaches C.cars D.helicopters19.A.across B.through C.for D.over20.A.as B.though C.because D.when活页综合提升练及模拟卷答案活页综合提升练(一)Ⅰ.语法填空语篇解读:本文讲述了一种设计简单却不失优雅的椅子。

训练7 阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday,which one would you prefer,a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes?According to Science Daily,about onethird of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”,namely,those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier?Back in 2009,Ryan Howell,a professor at San Francisco State University,found that in the long run,experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences,on the other hand,can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories.But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something,shouldn’t they?To figure it out,Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types,ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences.As expected,the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic,because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values.But to Howell’s surprise,he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items.This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic,we think less of them,and that drives their happiness down.”Another reason is that materialistic pe ople always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful.If you happen to be a materialistic person,there’s something you can try.“If materialists make more accurate purchases,rather than trying to impressothers,they will be happier,” Howell said.You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher once said,“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”1.What did Ryan Howell find in his studies?A.Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences.B.About onethird of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C.Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D.Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon.2.What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?A.How to judge whether a person is a materialist.B.Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.C.How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.D.Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.3.Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph?A.To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.B.To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.C.To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and desire too much.D.To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs.4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Are You a Materialist?B.How To Acquire Happiness?C.The Best Present for the BirthdayD.Which Can Make people Happier?【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。

It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's o kay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that redu ces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人,一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人,为了保持自己的体型,降低压力,提高自信,坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼,让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校训练16 2阅读理解+阅读填空+语法填空(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhich comes first,happiness or money? Arericher people happier? And if so,how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers,from University College London and the University of Warwick,say that very gloomy teens,no matter how tall or smart they were,earned 10% less than their peers,while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school,college and the job interview,chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends,who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women,Alas (the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men).And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids,is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework? The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show,after all,that more education leads to betterpaid jobs,which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers’happiness is important to their future success,” one of the report’s authors writes.“But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”1.What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A.Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.B.Money can make people become happier.C.Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.D.Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.2.The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that ________.A.they are easy to communicate with othersB.they are good at doing their schoolworkC.they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeD.they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day3.The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means“________”.A.upset B.gloriousC.happy D.wealthy4.What can be the best title for the text?A.The way to educate kids.B.The source of happiness.C.How to achieve your goal.D.The secret of being wealthier.A【语篇解读】本文为说明文。

When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.But still, no invitation came.They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted:“You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.26. Luca’s picture of the Island of Inventions was mainly based on ________.A. scientific researchB. his imaginationC. reports of othersD. history books【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校专题限时训练(十七) [时闻型阅读理解](限时:25分钟)(一)As Apple tries to maintain its growth and success in China, the world's largest smart phone market is becoming even more critical. Apple's shares(股份) fell sharply as the company's earnings for the holiday quarter through December disappointed investors.The sales of the iPhone, which included both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple was known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.Some analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.But Apple says it's already enjoying strong growth in China. “We saw big growth in iPhones,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said. He said that the company had been quickly expanding its sales channels in China, including the number of Apple stores. “This isn't nearly what we need; we're not even close to that, but we're making great progress,” he said.In China, a big missing piece for Apple is China Mobile Ltd, the biggest local telecom carrier that doesn't yet sell the iPhone. Earlier this month, Mr Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone.Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was working on a lowerend iPhone that could launch a s early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that lowpriced Androidbased phones are getting better in terms of quality. A report from CLSA in late November showed that many smart phones sold at about 1,000 yuan ($160) came with higherresolution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.1.Apple's shares dropped sharply because in December________A.the iPhone wasn't popular in ChinaB.its product quality was widely criticizedC.the earnings for the holiday quarter were disappointingD.the investors were not satisfied with Apple's management2.What can we learn from the passage?A.Apple tends to offer a lower sales forecast.B.China Mobile Ltd began to team up with Apple.C.Cook was pessimistic about what Apple did in China.D.Apple didn't take measures to develop Chinese markets.3.The author uses the report from CLSA to prove________.A.their prices are actually lower than a year earlierB.Apple in China has ability to deal with any problemC.lowerend Androidbased phones are progressing fastD.the promotion of lowerend iPhones will face a challenge4.The main purpose of the passage is to show the readers ________.A.Apple's high popularity in ChinaB.the challenge Apple faces in ChinaC.the approaching failure Apple will suffer in ChinaD.Apple's aggressive strategies in its market expansion(二)Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100℃, meaning it is now producing steam, not magma(岩浆).But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteor ological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was “kind of not active for the moment”.“The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again,” she said.“There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquak e is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption.”Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallenbelow 100℃.But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821—1823.“It stopped and started again several times with different intervals(间隔), so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline,” h e said.He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla Volcano—a much larger mountain—might also erupt.At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War Ⅱ, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.1.What do experts think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?A.Magma is still coming out.B.The hole appears about 100℃.C.The eruption was not over.D.It is very cold.2.How do experts know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole? A.By taking photos.B.By taking its temperature.C.By going close to it.D.By driving past it.3.What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull? A.It will erupt again soon.B.It will be sleeping.C.Another mountain might also erupt.D.It's uncertain.4.What do you think the main idea is?A.The biggest action of closing airspace in Europe.B.The temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole.C.The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland.D.The earthquake in Iceland.(三)BEIJING—China's Beijing and Shanghai cities and Guangdong Province on Sunday published plans to gradually allow migrant workers' children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.They are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to attend local vocational schools in 2013 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2014, said a statement from the city's commission of education.Shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2014.Guangdong has asked its cities to start recruiting(招收) migrant workers' children in local senior high schools in 2013. The province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents in college entrance exams starting in 2016. Luo Weiqi said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.Migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plansof the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.China's hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. A regulation in 2003 amended this by allowing migrant workers' children to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.Official figures show that China has more than 250 million farmers turnedworkers living in cities. An estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.1.What's the best title of this passage?A.China's educational reform on the wayB.Migrants' dreams come trueC.Reform plans published for migrant children's educationD.Migrants ask for equal rights in education2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Beijing,Shanghai and Guangdong took the lead in making plans for migrant children's education.B.There are altogether 13 provinces and municipalities that have made plans for migrant children's education.C.Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to enter all the local schools in 2013.D.Migrant workers' children began to receive senior high school education in cities where their parents worked in 2003.3.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “confine”?A.Limit. B.Prevent.C.Protect. D.Resist.4.Which of the following statements can be inferred according to the passage?A.Guangdong will allow migrant workers' children to sit gaokao locally in 2016.B.China's hukou is now no longer important and should be cancelled.C.The Chinese government should continue deepening the educational reform.D.It is likely that not all migrant workers' children can enter senior high schools or sit gaokao in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong with the new plans published.专题限时训练(十七)(一)【要点综述】本文讲述了著名的智能手机生产商苹果公司在中国的销售遇到了很大的挑战,并分析了苹果公司新的对策和做法。

She was waiting for the last train to arrive, when she heard her phone ring. It was her brother. The line was suddenly cut off when she answered, and the phone did not ring again. The lady waited for a call back, but her phone did not ring. She sat on the bench, holding her phone.She was definitely uneasy. Her mother was very ill and was in hospital. She was looking around, looking for a phone loading station, but since it was already late, the stalls were already closed. She had no choice but to wait till the train came and wait till she got home.A young lady in her late 20s approached her. She was very sincere. She asked what was wrong. Thea looked at the stranger’s eyes and said “nothing”. But the other lady was just so sincere and wanted to help.She took out her cell phone from her shoulder bag and handed it to Thea. The helpful lady said, “Here’s my phone; it has extra loads; you can make a call.”“Is it OK? ” asked Thea. “Yeah,” she said, looking directly into her eyes. Then Thea, in a very shy manner, slowly dialed a number and talked with someone on the phone. A smile was on her face. “Thank you so much; you took my worries away.” “You are welcome; I am glad that I can give you a hand. ”In fact, kindness can be shared at any time in any place.( )1. The other lady showed her sincerity(真诚) to Thea by _______.A. giving her some moneyB. coming over to ask for helpC. helping Thea to answer the phoneD. insisting on lending her cell phone to Thea( )2. Which of the following showed that Thea believed in the young lady?A. Asking “Is it OK”B. Saying “nothing”C. Expressing her thanksD. Looking at the stranger’s eyes.( )3. The purpose of writing this passage is to show_______.A. our phone must have extra loadsB. we should believe in people if we are in troubleC. we can try to help people whenever and wherever possibleD. we’d better give our phones to people if they need them.BOrganic(有机的) foods are foods produced according to strict guidelines(准则) set forth by the government. These guidelines state that organic foods must be produced without modern man-made processes(加工) and materials, such asman-made pesticides(杀虫剂) and chemical fertilizers(化肥).For most of history, almost all foods were organic. However, during the 20th century, the principles(准则) of the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) were applied to agriculture. This led to the development of many man-made processes that were believed to improve farming techniques. In other words, small farms grew larger as the ideas that were used by factories and big business were put into action to grow more food.Over time, the organic movement started to get back to the old, traditional methods of farming. Those in favor of organic foods believe that man-made chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. They also believe that organic foods are more nutritious(营养的).If you go to the store, you will notice that organic foods may be more expensive than non-organic foods. Are organic foods worth the extra cost? Some people believe they are. Despite the lack of scientific findings to support their thoughts, many people still prefer organic foods because they think they taste better, while others don’t care much about that because they say they haven’t found out the differences.If you wonder whether you should choose an organic food instead of anon-organic one, the best thing you can do is to try it by yourself and see which you prefer. Although organic foods were once only available in health food stores, you can find them today at most stores.( )4. From the passage, we know that ________.A. the principles of agriculture were once used in factoriesB. more farmers began to take up farmingC. lots of small farms disappeared one by oneD. almost all foods were organic in the past( )5. Many people like to eat organic foods probably because they think organic foods ______.A. are cheaper than othersB. are sold by the governmentC. do good to people’s healthD. are easy to buy in every store ( )6. According to this passage, we’d better _______.A. buy food in health food storesB. try to eat non-organic foodsC. eat both organic and non-organic foodsD. make a choice depending on our preference( )7. Where can we probably find this passage?A. In a fashion magazines.B. In a guidebook to shopping.C. In a textbook about medicine.D. On a website about healthy eating.CMany people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, achievements, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists who have inspired me by their talents and creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish(完成) my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question ora concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but don’t make yourself taken advantage of(利用) by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(怜悯) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保守的) man, but in our daily life, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.( )8. Which of the following could not be used to describe the author’s father?A. Considerate and humorousB. Compassionate and open-mindedC. Knowledgeable and sociableD. Energetic and helpful ( )9. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “excel”?A.

According to the underlined part in paragraph 2, the father was telling the author to ____.A. try to be good to those who were worth making friends withB. try to take advantage of those who were friendly to herC. think about others and help them, so that she could make them serve herD. think about others and help them, but not to be made use of in a negative way ( )11. What can we infer(推论) about the author?A. She appreciated her father because he solved all the problems for her.B. She considered her father humorous and was often made to laugh by him.C. She had sympathy for the fatherless.D. She was outstanding in work because her father made her work hard.DToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out(排除) that already poorly motivated youngsters may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computers at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TVs but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating(积累) findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.( )12. What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C.

She was waiting for the last train to arrive, when she heard her phone ring. It was her brother. The line was suddenly cut off when she answered, and the phone did not ring again. The lady waited for a call back, but her phone did not ring. She sat on the bench, holding her phone.She was definitely uneasy. Her mother was very ill and was in hospital. She was looking around, looking for a phone loading station, but since it was already late, the stalls were already closed. She had no choice but to wait till the train came and wait till she got home.A young lady in her late 20s approached her. She was very sincere. She asked what was wrong. Thea looked at the stranger’s eyes and said “nothing”. But the other lady was just so sincere and wanted to help.She took out her cell phone from her shoulder bag and handed it to Thea. The helpful lady said, “Here’s my phone; it has extra loads; you can make a call.”“Is it OK? ” asked Thea. “Yeah,” she said, looking directly into her eyes. Then Thea, in a very shy manner, slowly dialed a number and talked with someone on the phone. A smile was on her face. “Thank you so much; you took my worries away.” “You are welcome; I am glad that I can give you a hand. ”In fact, kindness can be shared at any time in any place.( )1.

These guidelines state that organic foods must be produced without modern man-made processes(加工) and materials, such asman-made pesticides(杀虫剂) and chemical fertilizers(化肥).For most of history, almost all foods were organic. However, during the 20th century, the principles(准则) of the Industrial Revolution(工业革命) were applied to agriculture. This led to the development of many man-made processes that were believed to improve farming techniques. In other words, small farms grew larger as the ideas that were used by factories and big business were put into action to grow more food.Over time, the organic movement started to get back to the old, traditional methods of farming. Those in favor of organic foods believe that man-made chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. They also believe that organic foods are more nutritious(营养的).If you go to the store, you will notice that organic foods may be more expensive than non-organic foods. Are organic foods worth the extra cost? Some people believe they are. Despite the lack of scientific findings to support their thoughts, many people still prefer organic foods because they think they taste better, while others don’t care much about that because they say they haven’t found out the differences.If you wonder whether you should choose an organic food instead of anon-organic one, the best thing you can do is to try it by yourself and see which you prefer. Although organic foods were once only available in health food stores, you can find them today at most stores.( )4. From the passage, we know that ________.A. the principles of agriculture were once used in factoriesB. more farmers began to take up farmingC. lots of small farms disappeared one by oneD. almost all foods were organic in the past( )5. Many people like to eat organic foods probably because they think organic foods ______.A. are cheaper than othersB. are sold by the governmentC. do good to people’s healthD. are easy to buy in every store ( )6. According to this passage, we’d better _______.A. buy food in health food storesB. try to eat non-organic foodsC. eat both organic and non-organic foodsD. make a choice depending on our preference( )7. Where can we probably find this passage?A. In a fashion magazines.B. In a guidebook to shopping.C. In a textbook about medicine.D. On a website about healthy eating.参考答案:DCDDCMany people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, achievements, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists who have inspired me by their talents and creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciatehow my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish(完成) my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but don’t make yourself taken advantage of(利用) by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(怜悯) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保守的) man, but in our daily life, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father.

Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out(排除) that already poorly motivated youngsters may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computers at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TVs but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating(积累) findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms.( )12. What is the researchers’ understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.( )13. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldn’t be allowed in children’s bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.( )14. The passage is probably written for ______A. teachersB. parentsC. TV sellersD. education experts.( )15.

训练6 2阅读理解+阅读填空+语法填空(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away,he doesn’t see rubbish,but he sees a pencil case.Sweet wrappers? A beautiful kite! But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer.For the 28yearold CEO of Trenton,New Jerseybased TerraCycle,they’re a business model.The fasttalking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling (升级改造).Instead of recycling,TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (废物填埋地) and reuses it—more or less whole.TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products,sold at shops such as Petco,Kmart,Whole Foods Market,and Target.Szaky’s $7.4 million company,now also moving ahead in Mexico,Canada,the United Kingdom and Brazil,is quite different from the business he founded with his classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University.The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell organic plant fertilizers made from worm waste.They lost the competition,but started the business anyway.With their goal—to make products entirely out of rubbish—suddenly clear,Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton.TerraCycle’s first product used dininghall waste to feed the worms and thrownaway bottles to package the fertilizer.The result: a cheap,green breakthrough.Word spread,and in 2004,Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores.To Szaky,waste does not exist in nature.TerraCycle ’is a “second chance” employer of,say,a piece of furniture,an icecream container.As Szaky points out,“The big gest problem with most green,fairtrade,and organic products is that they tend to cost more.At TerraCycle,everything is made from rubbish,and rubbish is free.People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”1.What is Tom Szaky now?A.The CEO of TerraCycle.B.An employee of Home Depot.C.A student at Princeton University.D.The manager of a food company.2.How did Szaky get the idea of upcycling?A.From his visits to foreign companies.B.From his studies at Princeton University.C.Through shopping at big stores in America.D.Through the experience of a business competition.3.What is the goal of TerraCycle?A.To make cheap and green products.B.To recycle waste materials in another way.C.To make products completely out of rubbish.D.To change worm waste into organic plant fertilizers.4.What is the advantage of upcycling according to Szaky?A.The cost is kept rather low.B.More materials are available.C.It has a large promising market.D.Its products are environmentally friendly.【语篇解读】本文介绍了Szaky创立TerraCycle公司对垃圾进行升级改造,从而制造出新产品的经过及理念。

Ⅱ.阅读理解【现代科学类】Leon McCarthy,12,was born without fingers on his left hand.That didn’t stop him from being able to do many tasks.But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time.So Leon’s father,Paul,created a prosthesis(假肢),using a 3D printer.Now Leon has fingers that open and close.“It was a do-it-yourself,father-and-son adventure.”says Paul.When Leon was a baby,his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens.“The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with.”says Paul.As Leon got older,his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand,which can cost as much as $30,000.Paul found a more affordable solution.One day,Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand,a prosthesis created with a 3D printer.He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand’s creators for advice.They told him all he needed was a 3D printer—which costs around $2,000—and some materials.Luckily,Leon’s school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon.“We used a soccer shin guard(护胫), cardboard,and tape.They cost about $10.”says Paul.With his new hand,Leon can do things better.“I can help my mom more,because now I can carry two grocery bags.”he says.Leon’s father has already built several hands for Leon.Leon helps design each one.He says there’s one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis.“The goal,”he says,“is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带).”1.Why did Leon’s doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?( )A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.C.To master the disabled hand was important.D.The original hand could do many tasks.2.Leon’s father managed to get Leon a new hand by .A.collecting money on the InternetB.buying a prosthetic handC.purchasing a 3D printerD.printing a hand3.The materials used for Leon’s hand can be described as .A.cheap and commonB.strange and valuableC.personal and lovelyD.basic and solid4.What’s the best title for the text?( )A.A DIY EnthusiastB.A Helping HandC.A Great AdventureD.A Lucky Escape语篇解读:本文是记叙文。
文章讲述了一位父亲用3D打印技术为儿子制作假肢的故事。
答案及剖析:1.C 细节理解题。
根据第二段中的The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with可知,医生之所以不赞成Leon在孩童时期就安装假肢是因为先学习使用那只有残疾的手很重要。
2.D 细节理解题。
根据第三、四段的描述可知,Leon的父亲购买了一些原材料,用3D打印技术为儿子打印了一只手。
3.A 推理判断题。
根据第四段中提到的原材料a soccer shin guard,cardboard,tape以及They cost about $10可知,这些用来打印手的材料很常见且很便宜。
4.B 标题归纳题。
通读全文可知,Leon生下来左手就有残疾,通过父亲和身边其他人的帮助安上了一只特别的假手。
有了这只假手,Leon可以做更多的事情。
B项概括了文章主旨,作标题贴切。
Ⅲ.阅读填句根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem.It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up to new people and situations.Here are some tips for overcoming shy feelings.Start small with people you know.Practise social behavior like eye contact,confident body language,introductions,small talk,asking questions,and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.Build your confidence this way.1.Think of some conversation starters.2. Think of conversation openers,like introducing yourself,giving a compliment,or asking a question.Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.Rehearse (排练)what you want to say.3. Practise it again and again,maybe even in front of a mirror.Then just do it.Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you practised or if it’s not perfect.Few of the things more confident-seeming people do are perfect either.Next time,it’ll be even better because it will be easier.4. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests.Give yourself a chance to practise socializing with these new people,and get to know them slowly.People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will judge them.So treat yourself like your own best friend.Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.Most of all,be yourself.It’s OK to try out different conversational approaches you see others are using.5. Being the real you—and daring to let yourself be noticed—is what attracts friends.A.It’s important to make friends.B.Then branch out into doing this with new friends,too.C.Give yourself a chance.D.Write down what you want to say in advance.E.Often,the hardest part of talking to someone new is how to get started.F.But say and do what fits your style.G.Shyness is an obvious shortcoming.答案及剖析:1.B 根据本段第一句“Start small with people you know.”此处“new friends”与之对应。
