江苏徐州市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础选练（3）及答案【山东省2014仿真模拟冲刺卷】阅读理解My sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work．As jewelry designers, we need to go to a lot of shows．We can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work．Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals．So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security．Our jewelry sets off the alarms, and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings．Most of the time, it’s not troublesome．However, on our recent trip to a Paris trade show, we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags．One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other．Both gentlemen came back, and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object．My sister and I just said, “Huh?” Of course, we were a little concerned, thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking．One of the agents then started to unpack our bags．I kept asking what he was looking for and then the object in question finally appeared．It was our Cosima necklace．It’s a piece of jewelry, with large, metal triangular spikes．My sister and I looked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief．We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection, not a weapon of mass destruction．They thought we were lying, and one agent kept repeatingthat he believed it was a weapon．I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show, and this was simply a piece from our collection．But the agents didn’t buy it．Then a few women guards came over to assist．One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring．Apparently, they liked our stuff．It was only at this point that the male guards gave up．And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry．They let us through．We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks．61．When the object in question finally appeared, the writer and her sister felt _______．A．anxious B．relieved C．excitedD．frightened62．The writer and her sister were stopped by the agents because________．A．their suitcases were too heavyB．the agents wanted to play a joke on themC．they were suspected to carry dangerous objectsD．the agents wanted to admire the jewelry inside the suitcases 63．The underlined word “buy” in Paragraph 7 probably means________．A．doubt B．believe C．purchase D．understand64．The writer sent the women agents a piece of jewelry in order to________．A．persuade them to buy her jewelry laterB．get help from them next timeC．show them her talent in designing jewelryD．show them her gratitude for their assistance65．According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Someone put something dangerous in one of the writer’s bags．B．The male agents didn’t belie ve the writer at first．C．The female agents liked the jewelry．D．The writer is always travelling on business．【参考答案】61—65 BCBDA2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved intomy teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single B on my report card would make me feel ba d because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.【小题1】When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico，hismother________.A．wanted to go with himB．worried about his safetyC．didn’t allow him to do soD．asked his grandmother for advice【小题2】The author decided to move away for college to________. A．be different from his peersB．keep away from his motherC．be independent in the outside worldD．make his mother unhappy【小题3】We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother________.A．had a high expectation of himB．was too strict with himC．used to expect nothing from himD．cared little about his learning【小题4】In the passage，the author mainly wants to tell us________. A．his long way to becoming independentB．his good relationship with his motherC．the importance of a mother’s trust and supportD．his mother’s deep love for him1、2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want? Let’s face it．Thinking our life is good enough doesn’t come naturally to many people．When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment．Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction．Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are．Focus on what you are thankful for．Most people want things to be better than they are, or when things are going well, we forget to appreciate what we have．Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be．Focus on what you are thankful for．Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now．When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being．Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner．What happened in the past is done and gone, so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find morejoy and fulfillment．When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied．Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position．Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more．When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you．Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you．Stay present and focus on the task you’re undertaking at the moment．Don’t let the life pass you by because you’re always on the go and distracted by ambition．Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural．【小题1】How can we live with contentment?A．To change our lifestyle．B．To have a motivation in life．C．To give less attention to what we are grateful for．D．To realize the difference between needs and desires．【小题2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Make wise decisionsB．Know the present situationC．Let go of regretsD．Remember the past【小题3】The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “______”．A．enjoy B．change C．create D．neglect【小题4】What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinker toys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity wouldinfect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”zxx.k“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students ab out toy design6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 p robably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.zxx.kBookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundredthirty-five countries.9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.10.

Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force apassage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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。

江苏徐州市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础选练（1）及答案阅读理解。

As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear."When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.""I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.40 .The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.A. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and EssaysB. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. computers have become popular in China41.

The underlined expression “taking stock in” (Paragraph 4) probably means_____.A. getting bored withB. getting dependent onC. becoming crazy aboutD. getting curious about43. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______.A. more and more students will give up writing on a computerB. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC. more and more students will pay attention to handwritingD. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality【参考答案】40—43、BCBC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。

2016年高考英语真题阅读理解译文(江苏卷)

2016年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（江苏卷）AB黑猩猩在某些方面是会互相合作的，比如在几方交战中集中在一起来保卫他们的领地。

但是，除了满足成为社会生物的最低要求之外，他们在互相帮助方面却没有本能的因素。

野生状态下的黑猩猩自己觅食。

甚至母黑猩猩通常也不愿意跟他们的孩子分享食物,这些小猩猩从小就会自己觅食。

从本性上说，即便在实验室里，黑猩猩也不会分享食物。

如果黑猩猩被放在笼子里，他能把一盘喂给他的食物拽进来吃掉，或者他可以不费吹灰之力就能把喂给隔壁笼子里邻居的一盘子食物拉到自己面前也吃掉的话，他就会很随便地任取一盘---他才不管他的邻居有没有饭吃。

黑猩猩真的很自私。

从另一个方面讲，我们人类在孩提时代就特别能相互合作。

在年幼时，他们就会互相帮助，分享信息以及共同参与从而实现一个目标。

他发现如果18个月大的孩子看见手里满是东西的成年人心惊胆战试图开门时，几乎所有幼儿都会立即试图帮助他。

有理由相信那些去帮助，提醒和分享的欲望并不是别人教的，而是在年幼孩子们身上自然就拥有的。

其中一个理由就是在大多数父母开始训练自己孩子行为社会化之前，这些本能在孩子们生长的较早阶段就已经显现出来。

另外一个理由就是如果孩子们由于帮助别人被给予奖励，那么这种乐于帮助别人的行为品质就不会再进一步提高。

第三个理由是孩子们社交智能的发展是超前于他们基本认知技能的，至少当跟黑猩猩比较时是这样的。

托马塞洛做了一些测试，在肢体运动方面，孩子们并不比黑猩猩做得好，可是在社交领域里，他们的理解能力却明显要好得多。

孩子们思维所具备的和黑猩猩的思维所不具备的核心问题就是托马塞洛所谓的共享意向。

此能力部分表现为他们可以从别人知道的或正在思考的得到他们想要的。

但是，除此之外，甚至年龄更小的孩子也想成为这个共同目标的一部分。

他们积极地要成为“我们”的一部分，而“我们”是个有着共同目标的组织。

C厄尔尼诺，这是个西班牙语词汇，意思是耶稣孩提画像。

它是被南美的渔夫命名的，南美渔夫注意到全球气候格局每2年到7年就会变化，而这就会造成在圣诞节期间捕鱼量的减产。

In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them aft er a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden shipThe ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica‟s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to ach ieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South P ole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott ‟s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world‟s imagina tion, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before h is 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and g ifted Australianphotographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never be fore been published.13.

To talk face to face with their teachers.BChimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food.In the laboratory, chimps don’t naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random ---he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate a achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of expensive with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught .but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence. Develops in children before their general cognitive（认知的）skills,at least when compared with chimps..In tests conducted by Tomtasell, the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social worldThe cure of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t in what Tomasello calls what. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.58. What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?A. Chi mps seldom care about others’ interests.B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors’ food.D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.59. Michael Tomasello’s tests on young children indicate that they____.A. have the instinct to help othersB. know how to offer help to adultsC. know the world better than chimpsD. trust adults with their hands full60. The passage is mainly about ____.A. the helping behaviors of young childrenB. ways to train children’s shared intentionalityC. cooperation as a distinctive human natureD. the development of intelligence in childrenCEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman sho noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards whenwinds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.61. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.62. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.63. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that _________.A. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first64. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.DNot so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager withoutmuch of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few year la ter at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑).“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73--- the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest cr iminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “ I have so much fire burning for my country,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.65. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C. She had big problems maintaining her performance.D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.66. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?A. She would become a promising star.B. She badly needed to set higher goals.C. Her sprinting career would not last long.D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all.67. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?A. Her success and lessons in her career.B. Her interest in Shelly-Ann’s quick profit.C. H er wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty.D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world.68. What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A. S he was highly rewarded for her efforts.B. She was eager to do more for her country.C. S he became an athletic star in her country.D. She was the envy of the whole community.69. By mentioning Muhammad Ali’s words, the author intends to tell us that ______ .A. p layers should be highly inspired by coachesB. great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC. h ard work is necessary in one’s achievementsD. motivation allows great athletes to be on the top70. What is the best title for the passage?A. T he Making of a Great AthleteB. The Dream for ChampionshipC. T he Key to High PerformanceD.The Power of Full Responsibility第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today ― and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossi ng is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A.To explain what they are.B.

In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck ( 海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled ( 雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A.They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.34.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A.Frank Hurley.B. Ernest Shackleton.C. Robert Falcon Scott.D. Caroline Alexander.35.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A.Artistic creation.B. Scientific research.C.Money making.D. Treasure hunting.第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

An Extension of the Human BrainOther people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (⽋缺), much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency. To be exact, other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways, he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “social prosthetic (义肢的) system.” Such systems do not need to operate face-to-face, and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic systems. It’s already a big bank of many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memory and judgment.Regarding memory: Once I look up something on the Internet, I don’t need to keep all the details for future use — I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do so. More generally, the Internet functions as if it were my memory. This function of the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m no longer comfortable writing if I’m not connected to the Internet. It’s bec ome natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia, or other websites.Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small andlarge. For example, when I’m writing a textbook, it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term, which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning. But more than that, I now regularly compare my views with those of many others. If I have a “new idea,” I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it, or something similar — and I then compare what I think with what others have thought. This certainly makes my own views clearer. Moreover, I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet.These effects of the Internet have become even more striking since I’ve begun using a smartphone. I now regularly pull out my phone to check a fact, watch a video, read weibo. Such activities fill the spaces that used to be dead time (such as waiting for somebody to arrive for a lunch meeting).But that’s the upside (好处). The downside is that in those dead periods I often would let my thoughts flow and sometimes would have an unexpected insight or idea. Those opportunities are now fewer and farther between.答案2016年江苏⾼考英语任务型阅读：71.
