First Aid李仕才一、阅读理解。

Known as “The Man with the Golden Arm”，nearly every week for the past 60 years，James Harrison has donated blood plasma(血浆)from his right arm.The reasons can date back to a serious medical procedure.“When I was 14，I had a chest operation，” recalls Harrison，who is now aged 80.“My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people.So I said when I'm old enough，I'll become a blood donor.”Soon after Harrison became a donor，doctors called him in.His blood，they said，could be the answer to a deadly problem.“In Australia，up until about 1967，there were about thousands of babies dying each year because of the rhesus disease(恒河猴溶血病)，” explains Jemma Falkenmire，of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.Harrison was discovered to have an unusual antibody (抗体)in his blood and in the 1960s he worked with doctors to use the antibodies to develop an injection(注射)called AntiD which can prevent this disease.Harrison's blood is precious.Every batch of AntiD that has ever been made in Australia has come from Harrison's blood.He and AntiD are credited with saving the lives of more than 2 million babies，according to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service：That's about 2 million lives saved by one man's blood.Harrison is considered a national hero，and has won numerous awards.He has now donated his plasma more than 1,000 times，but no matter how many times he's given blood there's one thing that will never change：“I look at the ceiling or the nurses，maybe talk to them a bit，but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm.I can't stand the sight of blood，and I can't stand pain，” he says.1．What was the main reason for Harrison's becoming a blood donor?A．He has a golden arm.B．He has precious blood plasma.C．His father encouraged him to help others.D．Donated blood once made him survive.2．Why is James' blood precious?A．James has the AntiD in his blood.B．His blood is more useful in treating the rhesus disease.C．James' blood is the main source of AntiD in Austral ia.D．James has donated more plasma than other donators.3．How does Harrison feel when donating his plasma?A．Nervous. B．Relaxed.C．Anxious D．Excited.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了James Harrison用自己的血液挽救了超过两百万名婴儿生命的故事。

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely t o feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are co ntracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scient ists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contract ion and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School s aid：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we de al with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fe ar as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel s aid，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when t he heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts c an also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brai n influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of f ear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and red uce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fea r is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be a ble to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorde rs，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress d isorder.”1．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear.2．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from thei r brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health co nditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart －brain communication3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlin ed word “mechanism” inParagraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.4．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads参考答案1—4、DACB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

新版高考阅读理解一轮提升选练5(英语解析版)

A＂I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,’’ said the man at the petrol station. ‘‘Is it raining out there?’’ ‘‘No. it’s pretty nice,＂ I replied, checking my sleeve. ＂Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.＂As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist — heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’s an nual pony drift(迁移).The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near—disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. ＂Hello!＂ I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry. about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartm oor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially—troubled elements.1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?A. To protect the tourists from being bitten.B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station.C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger.D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is _________.A. to feed baby ponies on milkB. to control the number of poniesC. to expand the habitat for poniesD. to sell the ponies at a good price3.What was the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?A. He freed it from the trap.B. He called a protection officer.C. He worried about it very much.D. He thought of it as being naughty.4.What does the author imply about t he preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies?A. It lacks people’s involvement.B. It costs a large amount of money.C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.D. It has caused an imbalance of species.【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。

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。

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed(呈现) herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨头) Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career(职业) in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing(追求) a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managin g and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自传), Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.1. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline.A. became fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor2. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that.A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB. Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline’s two marr iages lasted more than 20 years.B. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually.C. Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.D. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.4. The passage is mainly.A. an in troduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in p ublishing【参考答案】1--4 、DCCC阅读理解。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校北京市2016高考英语阅读类训练（5）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。

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to? “ I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it? “ This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no, But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based a round the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. . . and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the foot that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should .A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itB. compare the camera he had chosen with the othersC. get more information about different companiesD. trust him and stop asking questions2. What does the writer mean by“it would be worth half what I paid for it” (Paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount.B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. The quality of the camera was not good.D. The camera would soon fall in value.3. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he .A. knew very little about itB. didn’t trust the shop assistantC. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestD. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers4. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, .A. people waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a productD. famous companies care more about profit than quality【参考答案】1—4、 BDCC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

2023年高考一轮复习英语阅读理解满分攻略考点5-主旨要义之文章大意--高考(教师版)

考点5-主旨要义之文章大意--练高考--心中有数1.2022年全国甲卷之C篇As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witness ing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?A. Lovely penguins.B. Beautiful scenery.C. A discount fare.D. A friend’s invitation.30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?A. It could be a home for her.B. It should be easily accessible.C It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.31. What is the text mainly about?A. A childhood dream.B. An unforgettable experience.C. Sailing around the world.D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A2024·山东淄博模拟To deal with a changing world, we have to change as well. Transforming land into farms removes forests and worsens climate change. But we need to grow more food to support a growing global population. What can we do?Scientists have discovered that plants grow best under a certain type of light, which can be provided by red and blue LEDs. The combination of these lights at the right level makes a space look pink. Since “pinkhouses” supply their own light, they don't need to have fragile glass walls and ceilings. And they can be set up anywhere, including the places that don't get the amount of light greenhouses need.Since pinkhouses can pack food in huge columns, one of these farms doesn't need a lot of land. Farmers can set up pinkhouses in cities. They completely control temperature and light, which can help some plants grow twice as well in pinkhouses as they do in traditional farming. Pinkhouses can allow for many more harvests per year since farming doesn't have to stop in winter.Even though pinkhouses are a great way to grow crops, lighting and heating an indoor space can be very expensive. It doesn't make sense to grow foods that take up a lot of space or that we need to grow lots of, like wheat, rice, and corn, in a pinkhouse. We will still need to grow those crops in fields. We can start farming smarter.Farmers will use satellite imagery to figure out exactly where to plant each crop. Think of a mixture of just the right crops, rather than a rectangle(长方形) of one type of plant. Sensors in the fields will measure the soil's water level, temperature, and chemical content. They will even be able to detect insects and send out notifications to a smartphone app. Irrigation systems will be tied to weather forecasting programs, allowing for very precise watering and care, all calculated to get the best plant growth and yield.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua UniversityThese days, it is not easy to cal m down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1?A. surprisinglyB. sadlyC. busilyD. peacefully2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Being alone marks people depressed.B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by peopleD. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.3.What can we know from Einstein’s words?A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C.D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.4.Which may be the best title for this passage?A.

Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away fromthe boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for themto follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everythin g you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.( ) 1.

高考英语一轮总复习Unit5Music单元主题训练

UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·广东顺德模拟预测)Musicians want to be heard. Making that happen involves time and effort that could be spent making music, however. Fortunately, Richmonders Elijah Hedrick and designer Rian MosesHedrick have started a platform to help. HearRVA shines a spotlight on Richmond musicians. “We're basically trying to play matchmaker with music fans here in Richmond，” Rian says.The promotion platform was created in July last year by the designer and her husband, Elijah. HearRVA's website offers videos of local performances, a list of live music spots and playlists of songs from Richmondbased musicians. Musicians submit links to their work to be considered for promotion at no cost. The site is a passion project for the married couple and is supported by money donations from the natives.One of the next steps is an interview series, “Liner Notes”， which highlights local musicians and the motivations behind their music. The series was launched in November with local singer Devonne Harris, who plays recorded popular music on the local radio. “It's a great way for listeners to get a close look into what's going on behind some of the creative forces in the city，” Harris says. “Sometimes having extra insight adds more of a connection, so people can really go back to listen to your music and be grateful for what you do and listen to it from a different angle.”Rian and Elijah are looking ahead to season two of “Liner Notes”， which they plan to release next year. For them, everything ties back to providing exposure to local musicians. “People always want to go to LA or New York because they think they have a better shot there, and the market's bigger，” Rian says, “but why don't we grow the market here？”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

高考英语阅读理解专题训练：5阅读理解推理判断一附参考答案

阅读理解-推理判断一1、 In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himselfa lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the te xt?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.2、Daniel Hernandez always wanted to help people. Before he’d even graduated from high school, he trained to be a certified nursing assistant and volunteered at a nursing home. He then decided to work in public service. In his junior year at the University of Arizona, he majored in political science and began volunteering in political activities.One of his heroes was Gabrielle Giffords. When picked for an internship(实习期) with her, he gladly gave up a part-time sales job. So eager was he that he started work four days early. On Saturday morning, January 8, he arrived at La Toscana Village market north of Tucson and began setting up tables in front of a Safeway store where 30 or so people were gathering to meet Giffords.At 10: 10 a. m.,Hernandez heard loud sounds. “Gun!” someone shouted. He heard people screaming, saw them falling to the ground. Hernandez was standing 30 feet away from Giffords when she fell down. In seconds, he was at her side. Everywhere around him was chaos, but Hernandez willed himself to remain calm.Giffords was lying on the sidewalk; blood was streaming down her face from a bullet wound on her head. Gently, Hernandez lifted her into a sitting position against hisshoulder. Then, with his hand, he applied pressure to the wound on her forehead to prevent the flow of blood. He calmed her and told her all would be well.Minutes later, ambulances arrived on the scene. Still Hernandez stayed with Giffords, holding her hand and talking. “I just made sure she knew she wasn’t alone,” he says. “When I told her I'd contact her husband Mark, she squeezed my hand hard.”Nineteen people fell victim to a crazy man that day. Giffords, though wounded, survived in no small part because of Hernandez’s quick actions. Hernandez did a heroic thing. Though he doesn't think so, the people of Tucson and the nation are grateful that Daniel Hernandez was there at that key moment, four days earlier than he was supposed to be.1.Where did Daniel Hernandez ever volunteer before the accident?A.At the University of Arizona.B.At a store for a product.C.At a nursing home.D.At his high school.2.Why did Hernandez stay with Gabrielle Giffords as soon as possible?A.Gabrielle Giffords was his hero.B.He worked as a security guards.C.He knew Gabrielle Giffords was in danger.D.He knew how to treat her wound.3.According to the last paragraph, to the people of Tucson, Gabrielle Giffords ______.A.worked hard at the Safeway storeB.was one of Daniel Hernandez’s friendsC.did a really heroic thing that dayD.was lucky to survive the accident3、Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love,Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole, Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passageto__________.A.illustrate where science can be appliedB.demonstrate the value of Brooks’s ne w bookC.remind the reader of the importance of scienceD.explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A.Its strong basis.B.Its convincing points.C.Its clear writing.D.Its memorable characters.3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A.Contradictory.B.Supportive.C.Cautious.D.Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A.Problems with the book.B.Brooks’s life e xperience.C.Death of the characters.D.Brooks’s translation skills.4、 1. The Wright Brothers, by David McCulloughAnother must-read for history fans, McCullough tells the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright, the brothers who taught the world how to fly. Drawing on all types of historical data —from personal diaries and scrapbooks, to thousands of private letters of family letters —we get a close look at the actual personalities behind one of the most influential moments in history.2. The Wonder Garden, by Lauren AcamporaThis novel is really a collection of several interwoven(交织)stories of people living in the rich Connecticut suburbs. From tales of an elderly artist to a young mother to a woman whose husband just behaves carelessly, The Wonder Garden gives us an unforgettable reminder that there’s often so much we don’t know about what happens with our neighbors behind closed doors.3. Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen, by Mary NorrisDoes someone mistaking who for whom make your blood boil? Do you want to throw a dictionary at someone for mistaking sit for cite? Enter Between You & Me. Mary Norris brings her experience working in The New Yorker’s copy department toeager grammar fans in this laugh-out-loud book that looks at some of the most common spelling, punctuation, and usage problems in the English language.4. My Struggle: Book Four, by Karl Ove KnausgaardMy Struggle is a six-volume autobiographical novel that follows the life of Karl Ove Knausgaard, a Norwegian father of three. In Book Four, he writes of his decision at the age of 18 to move to a fisherman’s village in the far north of the Arctic circle to work as a school teacher. It’s there that he struggles with love, alcoholism, and becoming loved by one of his students.1.What does the book The Wright brothers focus on?A.Invention of airplanes.B.Nature of the characters.C.History of airplanes.D.Ordinary life of the characters.2.Who describes his or her real life experiences in the novel?A.David McCullough.uren Acampora.C.Karl Ove Knausgaard.D.Mary Norris.3.Which of the following books might make you burst into laughter?A.My Struggle.B.The Wonder Garden.C.The Wright Brothers.D.Between You & Me.5、 When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about h er dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).I finally quit delivering newspa pers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.1.Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?A.He was talking fast.B.He was shocked.C.He was in a hurry.D.He was absent-minded.2.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley?A.He enjoyed the drink.B.He wanted to be helpful.C.He took the chance to rest.D.He tried to please his dad.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system” in Paragraph 2?A.Recover from her sadness.B.Move out of the neighborhood.C.Turn to her old friends.D.Speak out about her past.4.What does the author think people in a community should do?A.Open up to others.B.Depend on each other.C.Pay for others’ help.D.Care about one another.6、 I carried out my first real experiment in the 9th grade. My school wasa dream place for someone who dreamed of becoming a scientist—we had almost everything that one needed to do experiments in the lab.The experiment was designed by me and another student called Aisha, who to this day remains a very close friend of mine. We chose to learn about the effect of antioxidants(抗氧化剂)on the growth of African violets(紫罗兰). We cloned a lot of African violets and planted them into baby food jars.To learn about the effect of antioxidants, we decided to count the number of little baby leaves that appeared on the cloned leaf every day. I was not sure why we decided to choose antioxidants to do the experiment. We were just 14 after all and we didn't know much about plants. However, we found that the ones fed with antioxidants produced more little baby leaves on them. I was sure the antioxidants had an effect on them. It was a wonderful experience to set up such an experiment.I learned a lot from that experience. It was just the one that made me like science, and having the opportunity to do real science at school made me believe that. It wasn’t reading science out of a book, and it wasn't watching videos about adults with bad hair doing science in a lab; it was actually doing science that interested me —thinking about it, planning it, and doing it.After that experiment, I did more experiments in the lab with my friend Aisha. We learned a lot of things through doing experiments in the lab of our school. I was so lucky that I attended such a school.Recently, I read a report on a website. It shows t hat many schools in the US don’t have the resources(资源) needed to do experiments in their school labs. Students should do experiments in the lab. It totally works. It makes kids like science. I hope that schools around the nation will provide their students with more resources to do experiments in the lab.1.What’s the author’s purpose in doing the experiment?A.To find out how African violets grew into big plants.B.To clone enough African violets to plant in the wild.C.To find the effect of antioxidants on African violets.D.To test whether antioxidants were good for all plants.2.The author found the African violets fed with antioxidants ________.A.looked very strangeB.grew better than othersC.were almost destroyedD.had much bigger leaves3.After doing the experiment the author __________.A.wanted to find a better partnerB.showed great interest in scienceC.thought it was hard to do experimentsD.wanted to read books to improve his experiment4.What is the text mainly about?A.The author’s first exp eriment in a lab.B.Why all students cannot do experiments.C.Why the author was interested in science.D.Things the author learned from experiments.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.A解析：本文写于Charles Dickens诞辰200周年前夕,介绍了Charles Dickens在英国小说方面的重要贡献和深远影响。

新教材高考英语一轮总复习 Unit 5 First Aid单元主题训练新人教版

UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AChildren really need to know some basic first aid skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen. So what should you teach your children?Calling for helpOnce your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency. Explain all about what a real emergency is. For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can't find an adult, or if people are hurt.As I am typing this, I just realized that although my kids are taught about 911, the telephones in the house are out of reach for all but my oldest child (to prevent the other two from playing with the phone). Don't make this_mistake yourself, or your children wouldn't get in touch with the police in time.Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)T each children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned and know where the bandages are. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to make it stop bleeding. Of course they should ask an adult for help, but they should also know a bit about self care. Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbour once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle.BurnsT ell your child that if he ever gets a burn, he should immediately call for help and then run the cool but not cold water for the burn. Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin. This is important if no adult is with your child when a burn occurs.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

新教材高考英语一轮Unit5TheValueofMoney单元主题训练必修第三册

UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel.“As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs，”said Mehta.In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realized that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids.“For those kids, it is a blessing to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings，”said Mehta.During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling.“They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison，”explained Mehta.Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds，opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother's shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount.Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don't get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc.He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It's up to his children to use the money carefully.语篇解读：本文是说明文。
