2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（1）及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类Papa’s Straw HatPapa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep downinto the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.【小题1】According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A．a person wearing a woolen hatB．a position requiring clean clothesC．a person training horses for some purposeD．a person riding a carriage with horses【小题2】Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A．most cowboys preferred to wear itB．she was worried about his healthC．a woolen one didn’t suit papaD．it was cheap and she could save money【小题3】What quality can we learn from papa?A．Gentle. B．Patient. C．Committed. D．Modest.【小题4】It can be learned from the story that _______.A．this family were not rich but diligentB．papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC．protecting hair was very importantD．a cowboy hat was useful on farming阅读理解。

重庆市合川二中2016高考英语二轮阅读理解统练（1）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets. Not long ago, my wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emissions(排放) of carbon dioxide(CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. We wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household(家庭) produces about 150 pounds of CO2a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-cond itioning or driving cars. That’s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average, mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. “To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2emissions by 80 percent, “ he said.Good advice, I thought. I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I’d almost forgotten the windows even opened. We should not let this happen again. It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.1. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?A. To take special kinds of food.B. To respond to climate change.C. To lose weight.D. To improve their health.2. The underlined words “tipping points” most probably refer to “”.A. freezing pointsB. burning pointsC. melting pointsD. boiling points3. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the timeB. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of CO2C. the average US household produces about 3, 000 pounds of CO2 a monthD. the average European household produces about 1, 000 pounds of CO2 a month4. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Saving Energy Starts at HomeB. Changing Our Habits Begins at WorkC. Changing Climate Sounds ReasonableD. Reducing Emissions of CO2 Proves Difficult【参考答案】1-4 BCBA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案

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

The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it sailed on its ill-fated first voyage on April 10, 1912. Of the 2227 passengers and crew aboard, more than1500 died. The ship, which was headed for New York City, carried the rich and famous on its first voyage.

They have recovered some items such as dishes and silverware and put them on public display. And more trips are planned to the wreckage in the future.

重庆市北碚区2016高考英语二轮：阅读理解选练（2）答案2016高考英语阅读理解--历史类Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."【小题1】This passage is mainly about ________.A．different kinds of tipping in different countriesB．the relationship between tipping and customC．the origin and present meaning of tippingD．most American people hate tipping【小题2】Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A．become popular. B．been hated.C．been stopped. D．been permitted【小题3】Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A．A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B．An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C．A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D．A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.【小题4】We can infer from this passage that ________.A．tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB．tipping is especially popular in New YorkC．tipping in America can make service better nowD．tipping has something to do with people's character2016高考英语阅读理解--历史类Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent b athing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided , and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During theVictorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.【小题1】A water system for baths was built by _______ over 3,000 years ago.A．the Romans B．the GreeksC．the Americans D．the Europeans【小题2】Dirty bodies can_______.A．ruin one’s business B．cause diseaseC．drive customers away D．cause good health【小题3】In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was_______.

It is a pity that I did not feel so good as the scenery and housing along. The bus journey was truly beautiful but it is not humanly possible to enjoy such things when all you can think of is this Chinese bus going to get some of my carrots on its floors and seats?I was very relieved to arrive in Lijiang—the place seemed bigger than Dali and initially more pretty as a picture. However, after walking for a bit around the place, I got the feeling that the place seemed overly touristy. This traditional and old-looking town had a very new feeling to it as most of the old style buildings looked very new. This was hardly surprising as the town suffered a major earthquake in 1996, but all over the place even now, they were still building “old” style housing.Feeling rather let down by the place, Peter, Rashad and I headed out for a meal. There were lots of barbecue (烤肉) type places where you selected your food to eat. Peter spoke to the restaurant people who told him that the place was cheap. We then made the big mistake of staying in the place without seeing the menu. Amongst other things, such as meat, we had also some tree and normal looking mushrooms cooked. When the bill arrived, it felt like we were having our pants pulled down.We did not think that Lijiang could get any worse until we saw the nightlife. The music was loud in the clubs or bars along the streets. “Cool, this might be some sort of Chinese dance off.” I was thinking. Given my previous bad experiences of Lijiang, I should really have known better. However, the good things about the place are numberless, such as the attractive natural scenery, the ancient architecture, the century-old practices, and the hospitable locals.1. From the first paragraph we can learn that .A. the bus journey was boring and uncomfortableB. the sides of the road were polluted seriouslyC. the scenery isn’t beautiful as expectedD. the bus jogged along on the rough road 2. The underlined word “initially” means.A. indeedB. at firstC. in the endD. really3. The author had a very new feeling because .A. it was the first time that he had visited LijiangB. many tall buildings had sprung upC. the ancient town took a new lookD. the ancient town was man-made in a way4. How did they feel while they were in the restaurant?A. They thought they had appreciated good food.B. They believed the bill was wrongly calculated.C. They regretted having ordered mushrooms.D. They had a more expensive meal than expected.5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. The author had a good impression of the music in the clubs.B. The author once visited the town and loved Chinese dance.C. Most of the people in Lijiang are warm-hearted.D. The natural scenery has been damaged by noises.【参考答案】17.DBDDC高考英语书面表达考前精讲精练（答案）书面表达解题指导题型特点《高中英语课程》对书面表达所要求达成的目标有着具体的描述，即：能比较详细和生动地用英语描述情景、态度或情感；能阐述自己的观点和评述他人的观点，文体恰当，用词准确；能用英文书写、报告、通知和公务信函等；能根据用文字及图表提供的信息写短文或报告；能在写作中做到文字通顺、格式正确。

There are always minorities, either people or enterprises, that have absolute advantage（绝对优势）in a field; the majority apply their comparative advantage（相对优势） to professions where they do their best to be effective players . Based on comparative advantage, different divisions are formed as international trade and the globalized economy develop.Oranges are flourishing in Florida in the United States, for example, shoes are made perfectly in Wenzhou of China, and people in both areas need oranges and shoes. In Wenzhou, one could try to create an artificial environment for orange trees of an international standard, and in Florida workers could be trained to make shoes as effectively as workers in Wenzhou using the same resources. However, the costs would be too high. The best solution, therefore, is to allow each location to specialize in its own product, producing enough to meet local needs and exporting the rest. As a result, people in both areas end up with lower cost and higher quality goods than if each tried to produce both. It is obvious that absolute advantage occurs in this process.However, absolute advantage may not necessarily apply everywhere. For instance, I know a capable company boss, who is also an expert in private cars and very skillful at changing car oil, even more efficiently than a mechanic, But, almost every time he drives his car to a garage to have the oil changed by a mechanic since he believes he can use the time to do something more valuable. What he uses here is his comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage.The same theory may also apply to individual careers. You may not be the best in a certain area, but still have a comparative advantage, which will not be reduced in relation to others’ absolute advantage, and you can still find an advantaged position in which your disadvantage is smaller relative to others.An ordinary talent can, therefore, achieve outstanding results byrightfully exploring his or her comparative advantage. In this sense, we may say that comparative advantage really works.72.From the example about orange in Florida and shoes in Wenzhou ,we can draw the conclusion that _____.A. the field in Wenzhou can be improved to grow oranges .B. Florida workers could be trained to make shoes .C. we should fully use our absolute advantage in our advantaged field.D. our comparative advantage is equal to our absolute one as to making fortunes .73.Why doesn’t the capable comp any boss change his car oil himself ? _____A. The mechanic is more efficient than him .B. He needn’t do it by himself for his riches..C. He would rather do something more valuable .D. Changing oil is beyond his ability.74.Which of the following is right according to paragraph 4. ? _____A. You should use your absolute advantage in your work definitely .B. You must work hard to improve your absolute advantage to be the best worker .C. If other’s absolute advantage is larger , your comparative advantag e is smaller .D. Sometimes you may still use your comparative advantage to find your advantaged position .75.This article can be entitled “_____”.A. The Advantage of Comparative Advantage.B. The Advantage of Absolute AdvantageC. Absolute Advantage—the secret to make different talentsD. Comparative Advantage—the way to achieve outstanding results【参考答案】E篇 CCDA阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car.

Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well－deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.56．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A.

On a hot muggy（闷热的） August afternoon, I had every reason to feel sorry for myself -- my flight home was full and late.I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.56 , he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me."Great," I thought, "now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete."As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasn't me he was after. It was my hat!I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.After this exchange, he still hadn't spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, "Mister, you sure are lucky.""Yes," I said, "I sure am."That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.56.

重庆市合川二中2016高考英语二轮阅读理解统练（16）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

While some dictionaries define the word “right” as “a privilege” when used in the context of “human rights”, we are talking about something more basic. Originally, people had rights only because of their membership in a group, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after conquering the city of Babylon, did something totally unexpected—he set all slaves free and let them return home. Moreover, he declared people should choose their own religion. Cyrus’ statements are about the first “human rights” declaration in history.Every person has certain basic rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege, which can be taken away at someone’s sudden desire. They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.Yet many people, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question that these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to get a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one’s choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work without trouble, abuse and threat of arbitrary (霸道) dismissal. Theyeven embrace the right to leisure.In ages past, there were no human rights. Then the idea turned up that people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.1. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What Are Human Rights?B. Why Do We Have Human Rights?C. How Do Human Rights Come Into Being?D. What To Do With Human Rights?2. How did the first human rights come into being?A. By Cyrus conquering the city of Babylon.B. By Cyrus setting the slaves free.C. By Cyrus making his statement about human rights.D. By choosing ones own beliefs.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Human rights can be taken away for some reason.B. Human rights have the same meaning as privileges.C. Human rights can help you live a peaceful life.D. Human rights can be used to hurt others.4. The underlined word “embrace” in the third paragra ph means .A. to seekB. to includeC. to enjoyD. to share5. From the last paragraph we can infer that .A. people would have freedom rather than human rightsB. at the beginning of 20th the more complete rights appearedC. thirty human rights have existed for about 70 yearsD. World War II decided human rights【参考答案】1—5、ACCBCAA young man returns to his hometwon of Aractataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”This man is the world famous writer. Gabriel Garica Marquez.Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6,1928.

For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called “Leaf Storm”. For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aracataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.In 1982, Gabriel Garcia Marquez was given the Nobel Prize in Literature for his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, making him the first Colombian and the fourth Latin American to win a Nobel Prize in Literature.21.

And most people also compare a teacher to a gardener who takes great care of various plants. Ever since my high school days, my heart has been set on becoming a teacher.I am now studying at a teacher’s college, and I am making great efforts to study, because there are so many things to learn about education. But I thoroughly enjoy my studies, and every day I am amazed at the great influence education has on the human soul.I think it is only natural that I have always aspired to become a teacher because my father and his father were also teachers. My father is now retired, following a brilliant career, and it has always been his dream to have me, his only son, follow in h is footsteps. Although it sounds like my father’s dream that I will become a teacher, it is also my dream and I am quite willing to realize the dream. I still have one more year to go at university, and after I graduate, I will go to the western part of China to become a teacher at a village school.I understand a teacher’s job will not make me a millionaire, but it is not the prospect of making a lot of money that has propelled my ambition to become a teacher. Rather, it is my sincere desire to assume a responsible role in society, and make as many people well—educated as possible through my hard endeavors. Education plays an essential and important role in our society. If everyone can receive a good education, it will not only do good to our country but al so benefit individuals’ lives.Ten years from now, therefore, I hope to be established as an excellent teacher with hundreds of thousands of students who have benefited from me and carry on the familytradition with efficiency and honour.25.

Where do I see myself ten years from now?C. Why do I follow in my father’s footsteps?D. How can I make my dream come true?参考答案25C 26-3-28、DBBCTayka Hotel De salWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses(床垫) and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried—up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633一square—mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it’s cool: Ridding a Pulley(滑轮)—operated lift 86 feet to your treetop roomis just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window—there is no glass!一you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley—drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B & BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. Yon can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few step s of the loft in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant outside.Gamirasu Cave HotelWhere: A yvali, TurkeyHow much: Between $ 130 and $ 475 a nightWhy it’s cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern.

The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopel essness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!33. How did the author feel when the pilot said the e ngines didn’t work?A. Disappointed.B. Anxious.C. Curious.D. Relieved.34. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means .A. to think carefully before you make friendsB. to start to fly frist to see what will happen in the skyC. to make an effort even if the result is uncertainD. to get up from the chair and greet somebody35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking Chances 参考答案33—35、BCA。

重庆市北碚区2016高考英语二轮：阅读理解选练（2）答案2016高考英语阅读理解——历史类Everybody hates it, but everybody does it。

A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping。

In America alone，tipping is a ＄16 billion-a-year industry。

Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service。

Tips should not exist。

So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality。

And also，tipping makes for closer relations。

It went without saying that the better the service，the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University，tips no longer serve any useful function。

The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak。

The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We lived about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(边界). My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.When we arrived, there were not monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth(吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber(口水) all over the car and us.It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.1. Where did the author live when he was 7 years old?A. In CanadaB. In the central USC. Near the Canadian borderD. In Parc Safari2. During the trip, the author ________.A. saw a monkeyB. fed some monkeysC. was angry with the giraffesD. had been in close contact with the camels3.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校浙江2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解选练（5）【2015高考复习】阅读理解Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However，it can also be very risky for a person's mental health，according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of selfconfidence，life control and overall wellbeing(幸福感 )．“Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a shortterm change in a way，”said Chris Boyce, the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead，these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should，which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate. To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health，Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life，including work and selfreported health.After analyzing all the available information，they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.However，what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people，on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith，a Scottish health expert，said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said，“When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health.”【语篇导读】升职会让人精神焕发，信心百倍，还是身体健康受到影响？最新的研究发现升职不但健康受到影响而且精神压力也很大。

On a hot muggy（闷热的）August afternoon, I had every reason to feel sorry for myself -- my flight home was full and late.I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.56 , he left his mother's side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me."Great," I thought, "now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete."As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasn't me he was after. It was my hat!I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.He excitedly nodded his head, still smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didn't seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.After this exchange, he still hadn't spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, "Mister, you sure are lucky.""Yes," I said, "I sure am."That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.56. Which word can be placed at the beginning of the third paragraph?A. ExcitedlyB. CautiouslyC. DisappointedlyD. Sadly57. The following contributed to the author’s low s pirits EXCEPT ________.A. the weatherB. the noisinessC. the bagD. the flight58. By “My day is now complete”, the author actually means .A. it is common to meet a boy at an airport.B. it is fun to be with a boy.C. he knows that a boy usually brings along good luck.D. he wouldn’t like to be bothered at all.59. The author admitted that he sure was lucky, because .A. the boy returned his hat to him.B. the boy liked his hat very muchC. the boy gave his seat to him.D. the boy changed his mood for the better.【参考答案】A篇BCDD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

阅读理解选练（5）【2014高考英语安徽省皖南八校二模】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

There are always minorities, either people or enterprises, that have absolute advantage（绝对优势）in a field; the majority apply their comparative advantage（相对优势） to professions where they do their best to be effective players . Based on comparative advantage, different divisions are formed as international trade and the globalized economy develop.Oranges are flourishing in Florida in the United States, for example, shoes are made perfectly in Wenzhou of China, and people in both areas need oranges and shoes. In Wenzhou, one could try to create an artificial environment for orange trees of an international standard, and in Florida workers could be trained to make shoes as effectively as workers in Wenzhou using the same resources. However, the costs would be too high. The best solution, therefore, is to allow each location to specialize in its own product, producing enough to meet local needs and exporting the rest. As a result, people in both areas end up with lower cost and higher quality goods than if each tried to produce both. It is obvious that absolute advantage occurs in this process.However, absolute advantage may not necessarily apply everywhere. For instance, I know a capable company boss, who is also an expert in private cars and very skillful at changing car oil, even more efficiently than a mechanic, But, almost every time he drives his car to a garage to have the oil changed by a mechanic since he believes he can use the time to do something more valuable. What he uses here is his comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage.The same theory may also apply to individual careers. You may not be the best in a certain area, but still have a comparative advantage, which will not be reduced in relation to others’ absolute advantage, and you can still find an advantaged position in which your disadvantage is smaller relative to others.An ordinary talent can, therefore, achieve outstanding results byrightfully exploring his or her comparative advantage. In this sense, we may say that comparative advantage really works.72.From the example about orange in Florida and shoes in Wenzhou ,we can draw the conclusion that _____.A. the field in Wenzhou can be improved to grow oranges .B. Florida workers could be trained to make shoes .C. we should fully use our absolute advantage in our advantaged field.D. our comparative advantage is equal to our absolute one as to making fortunes .73.Why doesn’t the capable company boss change his car oil himself ? _____A. The mechanic is more efficient than him .B. He needn’t do it by himself for his riches..C. He would rather do something more valuable .D. Changing oil is beyond his ability.74.Which of the following is right according to paragraph 4. ? _____A. You should use your absolute advantage in your work definitely .B. You must work hard to improve your absolute advantage to be the best worker .C. If other’s absolute advantage is larger , your comparative advantage is smaller .D. Sometimes you may still use your comparative advantage to find your advantaged position .75.This article can be entitled “_____”.A. The Advantage of Comparative Advantage.B. The Advantage of Absolute AdvantageC. Absolute Advantage—the secret to make different talentsD. Comparative Advantage—the way to achieve outstanding results【参考答案】E篇 CCDA阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps req uiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your walle t isn’t.1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ?A. The expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.2. The NFC technology can be used to .A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to .A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.【参考答案】1—4、 BCBA阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
