(题目序号仿新高考I卷阅读理解D篇)Passage 1(2023秋·辽宁沈阳高三校联考期末)What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age(青铜时代)coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades(铲)with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter(以物易物)and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into moreabstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly.Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset(嵌入)with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.My point is that the metaphors(比喻)of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.32.Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade?A. These coins also served as agricultural tools.B. This stylish design made the coins valuable.C. A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.D. The handles made the coins easily exchanged.33.Why does the author relate computers to spade coins?A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.B. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.D. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.34.What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Flexible.B. Wasteful.C. Essential.D. Alternative.35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How Agriculture Loses to Digital IndustryB. What Coins and Computers Bring UsC. What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In CommonD. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital WorldPassage 2(2023秋·天津市天津中学高三期末)When I was young, a friend and I came up with a “big” plan to make reading easy. The idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. “Moby-Dick” by American writer HermanMelville, for instance, was reduced to: “A whale of a tale about the one that got away.” As it turned out, the joke was on us. How could a single sentence convey the essence(精髓)of a masterpiece with over five hundred pages?Blinkist, a website and an app, now summarizes nonfiction titles in the form of quick takes labeled “blinks.” The end result is more than one sentence, but not by much. Sarah Bakewell’s “At the Existentialist Café” is broken into 11 screens of information; Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” fills 13.Blinkist has been around since 2012. It calls its summaries “15-minute discoveries” to indicate how long it takes to read a Blinkist summary. “Almost none of us,” the editors assure us, “have the time to read everything we’d like to read.” Well, yes, of course, “So many books, so little time,” declares a poster I once bought at a book market. But I judge the quality of someone’s library by the books he or she has yet to read.That’s because a book is something we ought to live with, rather than speed through and categorize. It offers an experience as real as any other. The point of reading a book is not accumulating information, or at least not that alone. The most essential aspect is the communication between writer and reader. The idea behind Blinkist, however, is the opposite: Reading can be, should be, measured by the efficient uptake(吸收)of key ideas. No, no, no. What’s best about reading books is its inefficiency.When reading a book, we need to dive in, let it take over us, demand something of us, teach us what it can. Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who don’t, in fact, want to read. A 15-minute summary misses the point of reading; speed-reading with the app isn’t reading at all.32.What does the underlined part “the joke was on us” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. We were actually joking.B. We were laughed at by others.C. We were underestimating ourselves.D. We were just embarrassing ourselves.33.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What Blinkist is.B. Why Blinkist is popular.C. How to use Blinkist.D. Where you can use Blinkist.34.What is mentioned as a problem about reading in paragraph 3?A. There are few new books of quality.B. Many books are hard to understand.C. People do not have enough time to read.D. People do not like reading as much as before.35.What is an ideal pattern of reading according to the author?A. Obtaining key ideas efficiently.B. Further confirming our beliefs.C. Accumulating in formation quickly.D. Deeply involving ourselves in books.Passage 3(2023春·河北高三联考)Even though people have been paralyzed(瘫痪的)playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal(磨难)to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extremething become a daily routine. That does not wipe out the danger, but it greatly reduces it.Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete’s way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.Some view parkour—the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings — as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.32.Why is downhill cycling mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To call for attention to extreme sports.B. To introduce the origin of extreme sports.C. To illustrate the danger of extreme sports.D. To show the complexity of the extreme sports.33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding extreme sports?A. Extreme sports differ from one another.B. Skill matters a lot in maintaining safety.C. Athlete’s luck is a key factor that influences safety.D. Extreme sports are more dangerous than regular sports.34.Which would best describe the author’s attitude towards the danger of extreme sports?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Intolerant.D. Uninterested.35.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Do Extreme Sports Test Your Courage?B. Why Should Extreme Sports Be Banned?C. Why Do We Love Extreme Sports so Much?D. Are Extreme Sports Really That Dangerous?Passage 4(2023·福建漳州统考三模)This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designerswill ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.32.Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?A. To recommend the new App.B. To inform latest news.C. To lead in the AI topic.D. To introduce its new function.33.What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?A. Concerned.B. Favorable.C. Unclear.D. Critical.34.What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?A. Accuracy.B. Diversity.C. Creativity.D. Efficiency.35.Which can be the best title for the text?A. Is AI coming into our daily life?B. Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?C. Shall we welcome new AI technology?D. Will AI replace artists in the future?Passage 5(2023·福建福州统考二模)In August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial”-which he created with Al image generator Midjourney -won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics, “ one Twitter user wrote. ”This is the literal definition of ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’, “ another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written prompt(提示符), he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved its resolution through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all moveforward, ” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way, ” he said.32.Why has Jason’s work led to debates?A. It was a copy of a photograph.B. He challenged the older artists.C. It was created with the help of AI.D. He broke the rule of the competition.33.What can best describe Allen’s creating process?A. Cooperative.B. Energy-consuming.C. Straightforward.D. Imagination-lacking.34.What can we learn about AI from the last paragraph?A. It is a double-edged sword.B. It attracts conventional artists.C. It strikes art judges as no surprise.D. It may open a new world to artists.35.What is the text mainly about?A. A trend to be AI artists.B. An AI-generated art contest.C. Responses to a winning AI artwork.D. Curiosity about an image generator.Passage 6(2023·湖北武汉高三统考)It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful magazine cover story “I love My Children, I Hate My Life” is arousing much chatter — nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that bringing up a child is not a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be extremely hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment damage our moods can later be sources of intense content and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive—and newly single-mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation(繁衍), is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are encouraged to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the wide-open baby-size holes in their lives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear celebrities tell it, raising akid on their “own”(read: with round-the-clock help)is a piece of cake.It is hard to imagine that many people are stupid enough to want children because it looks so fantastic — most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it is interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting a part of the way celebrities live might make us look just a little bit like them.32.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring _______.A. very temporary delightB. great enjoyment in progressC. happiness in one’s memoryD. concern over love and hatred33.Paragraph 2 is intended to show that _______.A. celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.B. single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.C. news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.D. having children is highly valued by the public.34.According to the passage, those childless folks _______.A. are less likely to be satisfied with their lifeB. are largely ignored by the media.C. fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.D. are constantly exposed to criticism.35.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.B. Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child raising.C. Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.D. We sometimes neglect the happiness from child raising.Passage 7(2023春·广东省广东实验中学高三校考)Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic(原子的)clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy,we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo(节奏)of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate(调节)our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll seethe opposite effect.The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame(时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people“corrected”official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.32.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.33.The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to _______.A. present an assumptionB. evaluate an argumentC. highlight an experimentD. introduce an approach34.What can we learn from this passage?A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.35.What can we infer from this passage?A. It is crucial to improve the definition of time.B. A fixed frame will make time meaningless.C. We should live in harmony with nature.D. History is a mirror reflecting reality.Passage 8(2023·广东汕头统考一模)“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn’t quite understand the heavy academic weight.There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college?32.Who is the author of the passage?A. A professor.B. A freshman.C. A parent.D. A graduate.33.What did the author’s parents stress most on his college life?A. Seeking happiness.B. Getting good grades.C. Building self-worth.D. Developing various interests.34.What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?A. To be a better self.B. To realize our dreams.C. To push our boundaries.D. To live up to others’ expectations.35.Which of the following may the author probably agree with?A. Academic growth helps to promote creativity.B. Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.C. Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.D. School is to blame for killing students’ creativity.Passage 9(2023·山东济南统考一模)According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.More than half of the 1,000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you’re purchasing Christmas presents or buying groceries having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you’ll be more likely to commit to it.In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you’ll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone’s financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.32.Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2?A. To support an idea.B. To attract readers.C. To call for actions.D. To introduce a topic.33.Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping?A. Stimulating desires.B. Recording spendings.C. Turning to medicines.D. Comparing with others.34.What is the author’s attitude to stress shopping?A. Unclear.B. Doubtful.C. Objective.D. Negative.35.What is a suitable title for the text?A. Does shopping benefit us?B. More stressed, women or men?C. Should we compare with others?D. Can stress shopping reduce stress?Passage 10(2023秋·山东青岛高三统考期末)“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally? Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a。

题组一Passage1ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.1 Try the following steps:Calm yourself. 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don ’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don ’t see things the same way. 3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded(半埋没的) feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender ’s point of view.Don ’t forget to forgive yourself. 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don ’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from you offender ’s angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique.G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.Passage 2Life getting you down? Learn to bounce back＂That which does not kill us makes us stronger.＂Nietzsche said. There are a number of ways that can get us through tough times, help us to bounce back and make us happier. 1 Find something you can control.2 But taking small, positive steps in any area of our life can have a ripple effect, enabling us to move forward in the problem area.3As a species, we tend to focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right. But we can benefit a lot from paying attention to what’s going right. Psychologists have shown consciously focusing on these good things helps to increase our experience of positive emotions.Check your thinking.4 Leading psychologist Martin Seligman found that the way we interpret the causes of everyday setbacks can have a significant impact on our ability to cope and our physical health. He also showed we can learn more resilient(有弹性的) thinking styles.Distract yourself.When we are immersed in a problem, it is hard to think creatively about ways to deal with it. It often helps to take time out from the things you are worrying about. 5 Not only doesthis give us a break from what we’re doing and our worries, it’s also great for ourminds.A. Always do something that is right.B. It’s true that there are lots of things we can’t control.C. An effective way of taking time out is exercise.D. Next time you are feeling stressed or stuck, give them a try.E. Focus on what’s right.F. Next time something goes wrong for you, pause for a moment.G. The way we think can destroy our own resilience.Passage 3Speaking is not equal to learning1. You don’t need to study grammar too much.The first suggestion may sound strange to many students who begin to learn English, but it is exactly important. 1 However, if you want to speak fluently, you should try to speak English without thinking too much of grammar. Studying grammar will only slow you down and make you hesitate. You will think about the grammar rules instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.2. You can’t translate every word.When you try to speak English, you do not need to translate every word from your mother tongue. 2Another problem you may meet is that you will misuse grammar rules that you have learned in your mother language.3. 3The reason why many people can learn well is that they often practise. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practise speaking. When you study, don’t just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practise what you hear. Practise speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. 44. You should study correct material.A phrase you often hear is, ＂Practice makes perfect.＂This is not completely true. Practice only makes what you are practising permanent. If you practise the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. 5A. You should try to speak fluently.B. You need to practise speaking what you hear.C. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.D. If you want to pass examinations, you should study grammar well.E. If you listen more, you can speak correctly and fluently sooner or later.F. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.G. The order of words is probably completely different and you may be bothslow and incorrect by doing this.Passage4How to Make Small TalkThere’s nothing small about small talk. Many great friendships and relationships have started with small talk. Small talk helps you build a meaningful relationship with a person. 1 If you want to know how to master small talk, just follow these steps.2 If you want to make a person feel comfortable, the best thing to do is to have an ＂open attitude＂and to direct your body toward that person without being too forceful. Just make eye contact, don’t cross your arms, and face your shoulders toward that person. This will make the person feel like you’re giving him all of your attention.Put away your phone. There’s nothing more annoying than talking to a person who is constantly checking his cellphone.Though you should look eager to talk to the person, don’t look too eager. Don’t lean so close that you scare him away. 3Give a friendly greeting. If you’re seeing someone you already know, just say hello and greet her by her name, ＂Hi, Jen, it’s good to see you.＂ 4 If you don’t know the person, introduce yourself first so you feel more confident and in control of the conversation.5 Just a simple ＂I love your shoes — where did you get them?＂can get you into a fun conversation about shoe shopping. Even if the praise doesn’t lead anywhere, it will still make the person feel more appreciated before you start discussing other subjects.A. Have friendly body language.B. Focus your attention on their shoes.C. It also benefits you in the professional world.D. Many people are turned off by a close-talker.E. Start with a small compliment.F. You will feel uncomfortable when close to others.G. This is simple and direct and lets the person know you’re excited to talk.题组二Passage1Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. 1 Additionally, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering smell rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.But does sound also affect our dining experience? A new report from researchers at Brigham Young University said yes. Hearing is often called ＂the forgotten food sense.＂says Ryan Elder, and assistant professor of marketing at Brigham Young University. 2 On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.During the experiments, the test subjects wore headphones and listened to noise at either a high or low audio level. 3 The study found that subjects who listened to the higher volume noise ate more pretzels than those with the low audio levels.Elder says that when hiding the sounds of eating, like when you watch television or listen to loud music while eating, we take away the sense of hearing. 4 The researchers are calling this the ＂crunch effect＂, which they admit may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up. So hearing the sound of eating does reduce the amount of food you consume.5 Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat could also help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.A. In fact, beautiful food is healthier than food that doesn’t look appealing.B. But besides not overeating, there is another benefit.C. And this may cause you to eat more than you would normally.D. Then researchers gave them a hard snack: pretzels.E. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.F. He notes that soft and sweet sound is thought to enhance the taste of food.G. He says that if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less.Passage2Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You’re better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...1You’re amazing! You’re awesome! 2 Beautiful young people are the whimsy(奇想) of nature, while beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don’t become ＂beautiful＂just by virtue of the aging process.3 That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to speed up your growth and intentionally devour (吞没)life and all it offers. 4Paint a masterpiece!5 Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it’s truly up to you.A. You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!B. Nobody will be more beautiful than you from now on.C. God gives every bird its food but he doesn’t throw it into its nest.D. With other people helping you, you’re sure to be truly perfect.E. You’re the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.F. Amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so.G. Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.题组一Passage 1【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人们宽恕别人的方法和途径。

While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A. Teenagers.B. Adults.C. The elderly.D.A couple.。
2024年新高考英语一轮复习专题 19 阅读理解之议论文(含答案解析)
专题19 阅读理解（议论文）1.（2023年福建省泉州第五中学高考模拟试题）Technology seems to discourage slow reading. Reading on screens tires eyes easily. So online writing is more skimmable than print. The neuroscientist Mary Walt argued this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, dramatic transformation” in how readers process words. And brains now favor rapid absorption of information, rather than skills developed by deeper reading, like critical analysis.We shouldn’t overplay this danger. All readers skim. Skimming is the skill we acquire as we learn to read more skillfully. And fears about declining attention spans have proved to be false alarms. “Some critics worry about attention span and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline, ” The American author Selvin wrote. “But nobody ever said poems were evidence of short attention spans. ”Yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read. First, it means there’s more to read, because more people than ever are writing. And digital writing means rapid release and response. Once published, online articles start forming a comment string underneath. Such mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun, but is probably lacking in profound reflection.Perhaps we should slow down. Reading is constantly promoted as a source of personal achievement. But this advocacy emphasizes “enthusiastic” or “eager” reading — neither suggest slow absorption. To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in their slow comprehension of words. The slow reader is like a swimmer who stops counting the number of pool laps he’s done and just enjoys how his body feels and moves in water.The human need for this kind of deep reading is too determined for any new technology to destroy. We often assume technological change can’t be stopped, so older media are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms. In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones. The Kindle hasn’t killed off printed books any more than cars killed off bicycles. We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words. Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.1．What is the author’s attitude towards Selvin’s opinion?A．Favorable.B．Critical.C．Doubtful.D．Objective.2．Which statement would the author probably agree with?A．Advocacy of passionate reading helps promote slow reading.B．Digital writing and reading tends to ignore careful reflection.C．We should be aware of the impact skimming has on the brain.D．The number of Internet readers declines due to technology.3．Why is “swimmer” mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To demonstrate how to immerse oneself in thought.B．To stress swimming differs from reading.C．To show slow reading is better than fast reading.D．To illustrate what slow reading is like.4．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Slow Reading is Here to StayB．Technology Prevents Slow ReadingC．Reflections on Deep ReadingD．The Wonder of Deep Reading【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A【导语】这是一篇议论文。
2019高考大题冲关秘笈高考英语阅读理解之说明文：创新押题
Passage1Nuclear power’s(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1．According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2．Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves3．Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can ________.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4．Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.Passage2Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.＂Storm at Sea＂, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, akind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.1．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets2．What is the purpose of using the poem ＂Storm at Sea＂in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.3．What does the underlined word ＂symbiotic＂mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.4．In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to ________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animalPassage3The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers．It has been made to help you better manage your money．The Winners Club is a transaction account （交易账户）where you receive a key-card so you can get to your money 24/7 —that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!It’s a club with impressive features for teenagers:●No account keeping fees!You’re no millionaire so we don’t expect you to pay large fees．In fact, there are no accounts keeping or transaction fees!●Excellent interest rates!You want your money to grow．The Winners Club has a good rate of interest which gets even better if you make at least two deposits （储蓄）without taking them out in a month．●ConvenientTeenagers are busy —we get that．You may never need to come to a bank at all．With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet．You can have money directly deposited into your Winners Club account．This could be your pocket money or your pay from your part-time job!●Mega magazine includedAlong with your regular report, you will receive a FREE magazine full of good ideas to make even more of your money．There are also fantastic offers and competitions only for Winners Club members．The Winners Club is a great choice for teenagers．And it is so easy to join．Simply fill in an application form．You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian （so we can organize that cool key-card）but it is easy．We can’t wait to hear from you．It’s the best way to choose to be a winner!1．Which of the following is TRUE about the Winners Club?A．Special gifts are ready for parents．B．The bank opens only on work days．C．Services are convenient for its members．D．Fees are necessary for the account keeping．2．The Winners Club provides magazines which ____．A．encourage spendingB．are free to all teenagersC．are full of adventure storiesD．help to make more of your money3．What is the purpose of this passage?A．To set up a club．B．To provided part-time jobs．C．To organize key-cardsD．To introduce a new banking service．Passage4The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches too.Thatching is a solitary (独立的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.1．Which of the following remains a unique feature against the heat_______.A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs.D. Churches with cottages around them.2．What do we know about thatching as a craft?A. It is a collective activity.B. It is practised on farms all over England.C. It is quite different from what it used to be.D. It is in most cases handed down among family members.3．People in developing countries also live under thatch because _________ .A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapestC. thatch is an effective defense against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildings4．We can learn from the passage that ________ .A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times.B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people.C. the English people have a special liking for thatched houses.D. most thatched cottage in England are located on hillsides.Passage1【文章大意】文章介绍核辐射对人类和动物的危害，即便辐射较弱，也会危害健康，有的影响不是明显的，但是人们可能多年后会死于癌症，或会对后代产生影响，如果核辐射量大，会导致死亡。

Passage 1Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patternsDecide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2.

Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.Forever Friends’relationship coach Sam Owen says:＂It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.＂Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.5. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via FacebookA. 4.B. 12.C. 18.D. 22.6. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.A. how important making friends isB. that friendship is not easy to keepC. how much has been done to keep friendshipD. that friendship at school is important7. The underlined phrase ＂drift away from＂in Paragraph 6 means ＂________＂.A. make sense ofB. lose contact withC. feel sorry forD. make up with8. This passage is most probably taken from ________.A. Facebook or TwitterB. an advertisementC. a textbookD. a newspaperPassage 3Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the ＂good old days＂, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it theadditional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’sattitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new ＂past＂is created.9. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to________.A. live a better lifeB. look for better methodsC. change ways of livingD. accept technology and advance steadily10. The underlined word ＂gadgets＂is closest in meaning to________.A. toolsB. messagesC. barriersD. skills11. The author explains ＂efficiency comes with a price＂by________.A. describing a processB. using examplesC. following time orderD. making classification12. Compared with home-made handicrafts, machine-made products________.A. lack great accuracyB. lack the personal touchC. are of high valueD. are quite welcome13. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4A. It can destroy old traditions.B. It can lead to social progress.C. It can be used to correct mistakes.D. It can be used to preserve old products.14. What can be concluded from the last paragraphA. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.B. People review the past with great regret.C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.Passage 4Many people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turned the market in their favor. But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren’t careful. Here are a few tips for you: Don’t test your luck. Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars, especially if you’ve recently invested in some improv ements. But listing a home at a price that’s too high above the market price could turn away some buyers.Buyers noticing that the home still hasn’t sold may begin to assume there’s something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for of fering a lower price. And if a home hasn’t received any offers after two weeks, it might be time to reset the price.A price that’s too low can bring about an undesired outcome. Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have theeffect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers. But setting the price too low comes with several risks. One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 less than similar homes in the area, especially if it’s not properly marketed. Once again, people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.Spy on the competition. Going to other people’s open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market. Check out the finishes in their kitchens, the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price. But don’t set your p ricing just on what you see elsewhere.15. What does the underline part in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. To be at a disadvantageB. To get the upper handC. To have control over the situationD. To be unable to fit in16. What should home sellers do according to the passageA. Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.B. Price your house slightly above the market price after decorating it.C. Change the price if no offer has been received within a week.D. Change your house at a price slightly below the market price.17. If you set the price of your house too low, __________.A. buyers might think it not worthwhile to go to have a lookB. you are likely to come into conflict with the neighborhood sellersC. your house will be crowded with buyers within a couple of daysD. chances of your house being sold at a better price will be greatly increased18. What is the benefit of going to other people’s open houseA. You can pick up some useful lessons on house selling.B. You can get your pricing mainly based on what you see elsewhere.C. You can work out how much money you should ask for your home.D. You can know how to make your house stand out against other houses.＇Passage 1【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
高考英语大题冲关秘笈阅读理解之说明文创新押题
阅读理解之说明文：创新押题Passage1Nuclear power’s(核能) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation(辐射).Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.1．According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ________.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. radiation levelD. nuclear radiation2．Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves 3．Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can ________.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD. lead to all of the above results4．Which of the following can be best inferred from the passageA. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.Passage2Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.＂Storm at Sea＂, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.1．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets2．What is the purpose of using the poem ＂Storm at Sea＂in the passageA. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.3．What does the underlined word ＂symbiotic＂meanA. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.4．In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to ________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animalPassage3The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers．It has been made to help you better manage your money．The Winners Club is a transaction account 〔交易账户〕where you receive a key-card so you can get to your money 24/7 —that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!It’s a club with impressive features for teenagers:●No account keeping fees!You’re no millionaire so we don’t expect you to pay large fees．In fact, there are no accounts keeping or transaction fees!●Excellent interest rates!You want your money to grow．The Winners Club has a good rate of interest which gets even better if you make at least two deposits 〔储蓄〕without taking them out in a month．●ConvenientTeenagers are busy —we get that．You may never need to come to a bank at all．With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet．You can have money directly deposited into your Winners Club account．This could be your pocket money or your pay from your part-time job!●Mega magazine includedAlong with your regular report, you will receive a FREE magazine full of good ideas to make even more of your money．There are also fantastic offers and competitions only for Winners Club members．The Winners Club is a great choice for teenagers．And it is so easy to join．Simply fill in an application form．You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian 〔so we can organize that cool key-card〕but it is easy．We can’t wait to hear from you．It’s the best way to choose to be a winner!1．Which of the following is TRUE about the Winners Club A．Special gifts are ready for parents．B．The bank opens only on work days．C．Services are convenient for its members．D．Fees are necessary for the account keeping．2．The Winners Club provides magazines which ____．A．encourage spendingB．are free to all teenagersC．are full of adventure storiesD．help to make more of your money3．What is the purpose of this passageA．To set up a club．B．To provided part-time jobs．C．To organize key-cardsD．To introduce a new banking service．Passage4The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸岛). Although thatch has always been used forcottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches too.Thatching is a solitary (独立) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.1．Which of the following remains a unique feature against the heat_______.A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs.D. Churches with cottages around them.2．What do we know about thatching as a craftA. It is a collective activity.B. It is practised on farms all over England.C. It is quite different from what it used to be.D. It is in most cases handed down among family members. 3．People in developing countries also live under thatch because _________ .A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapestC. thatch is an effective defense against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildings4．We can learn from the passage that ________ .A. thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient times.B. thatching is a building craft first created by the English people.C. the English people have a special liking for thatched houses.D. most thatched cottage in England are located on hillsides.

A【2018·全国II】We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that s mall talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversatio n. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.1. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.2. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.3. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable Silence【答案】1-4 CBDC【解析】这是一篇议论文。

2017高考英语大题冲关秘笈阅读理解之议论文 6.创新押题Passage 1Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂ inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind —or the minds of those close to us —usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.Passage 2We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months.The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth saying they meet them at work.Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.Forever Friends’ relationship coach Sam Owen says:＂It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adultswe can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.＂Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.5. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?A. 4.B. 12.C. 18.D. 22.6. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.A. how important making friends isB. that friendship is not easy to keepC. how much has been done to keep friendshipD. that friendship at school is important7. The underlined phrase ＂drift away from＂in Paragraph 6 means ＂________＂.A. make sense ofB. lose contact withC. feel sorry forD. make up with8. This passage is most probably taken from ________.A. Facebook or TwitterB. an advertisementC. a textbookD. a newspaperPassage 3Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society.

But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren’t careful. Here are a few tips for you:Don’t test your luck. Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars, especially if yo u’ve recently invested in some improvements. But listing a home at a price that’s too high above the market price could turn away some buyers.Buyers noticing that the home still hasn’t sold may begin to assume there’s something wrong with the house and u se that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price. And if a home hasn’t received any offers after two weeks, it might be time to reset the price.A price that’s too low can bring about an undesired outcome. Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers. But setting the price too low comes with several risks. One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 less than similar homes in the area, especially if it’s not properly marketed.
