强化技能限时训练(十四)阅读理解(主旨大意类)+阅读填句(限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解( A )【社会文化类】I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval,he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later,as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it,he got up again. I was getting frustrated,but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet,calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the will power to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities,and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders,guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously,he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique.It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own lives.1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him .A. work fastB. go politeC. stay relaxedD. keep attentive2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to .A. his son’s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child3.By this passage,the author attempts to tell other parents to .A. correct their kids’ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children’s freedom at home4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?( )A.

( B )(2015北京朝阳区高三一模)【社会文化类】The Enigma (谜)of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continents.Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup.In 18th-century France,wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发)of long,white hair to make themselves attractive.Today,people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive:beauty is power.Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money,get called on more often in class,and are regarded as friendlier.But what exactly is beauty?It’s difficult to describe it clearly,and yet we know it when we see it.And our awareness of it may start at a very early age.In one set of studies,six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs.The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students.In the studies,the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers.In studies by psychologists,men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes,fuller lips,and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist,according to scientists,the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits —the full lips,clear skin,strong shoulders—equal health and genetic well-being.Not everyone thinks the same way,however.“Our aesthetic(审美观) can be changed by all sorts of expectations—mostly cultural,” says C.Loring Brace,an anthropologist at the University of Michigan.What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another.Look at most Western fashion magazines:the women on the pages are thin.But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide?Scientists’ answer is no;what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world.They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.For better or worse,beauty plays a role in our lives.But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another.Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing,it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single,uniform standard.Beauty really is,as the saying goes,in the eye of the beholder.5.People’s ideas about beauty .A.have existed since ancient timesB.can be easily describedC.have little influence on a person’s successD.are based upon strict criteria6 In Paragraph 3,the babies in the study .A.were rated for their appearanceB.were entered in a beauty contestC.were shown photos of a group of college studentsD.were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones7.The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.qualitiesB.measurementsC.judgmentsD.standards8.We can learn from the passage that .A.the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB.the search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceC.the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD.the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds语篇解读:本篇主要介绍美丽的奥秘,在不同人眼里和不同文化里美的定义不同,所以没有统一的严格的标准。
