【2020届高考英语二轮题海特训营阅读理解三
A
1.
I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world.
Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forg et all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess.
Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the
rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
(1)What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A.They are boring.
B.They are attractive
C.They are out of date.
D.They are practical
(2)What does Nike’s logo stand for?

A.the religious story of Adam and Eve
B.Newton’s sitting under an apple tree
C.a bitten apple with only one color

I got on the bus, dirty and tired after work. It was a sunny day but most of mine
had been spent in a dimly-lit warehouse. Needless to say, I left that place every day looking like I worked in a coal mine. However, even with my addiction to alcohol at that time, I still felt a bit proud of myself. I had held this temporary job for 3 months, which was extremely rare.
As I took my seat on the bus going home, I decided that the unpleasant thoughts of my real life would not ruin my spirit today. I lifted my head and smiled at the two elderly ladies sitting across from me and they smiled back and nodded.
I sat back in my seat, fantasizing about a better and new life but was rudely
interrupted by our new passenger. She was about thirty but her hair was messy and most of her front teeth were missing. She got on and aggressively pushed her way into a front seat. Then she told the driver that she had no money and looked angrily at whoever dared to look her way.
All I could feel for this woman was sympathy. Just then, she turned her threatening gaze (凝视)towards me and yelled, “Why you so dirty man?” I smiled and said, “I just came from work.” She then asked loudly if I worked in hell and burst into laughter...so I laughed too — with her, and told her that was funny.
Then I asked her her name as I explained my situation. Her name was Karen.
In front of all of us, the miracle and power of kindness showed its beauty. This woman transformed. Her language, behavior and even voice changed when I spoke to her as a friend.
As Karen and I became instant friends, everyone had been watching our interchange.
After saying goodbye to each other, I turned and got what my aimless life had needed all along: affirmation. The two old women were holding each other with tears of joy in their eyes and other passengers also gave me thumbs-up signs.
(1)Why did the author feel a bit proud after work?
A. He was a coal miner.
B. He had got rid of the addiction.
C. He had worked 3 months.
D. He was content with his life.
(2)Why did the author greet the two elderly ladies?
A. To get acknowledged.
B. To offer necessary help.
C. To keep his spirit active.
D. To interrupt their conversation.
(3)What does the underlined word “affirmation” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Approval.
B.Caution.
C. Friendship.
D.Tolerance.
(4)What would be the best title for the text?
A. Do good deeds and win praises.
B. Never look down upon anybody.
C. Change a person with your heart.
D. Show sympathy instead of rudeness.

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

Your house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s tim e to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.
Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.
And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.
When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than
a tall, skinny glass.
(1)The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.
A.their home comforts
B.their body shape
C.house buying
D.healthy diets
(2)A home environment in blue can help people ____.
A.digest food better
B.reduce food intake
C.burn more calories
D.regain their appetites
(3)What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A.Eat quickly.
B.Play fast music
e smaller spoons
D.Turn down the lights
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Is Your House Making You Fat?
B.Ways of Serving Dinner
C.Effects of Self-Consciousness
D.An official report.

In the 1760s, MathurinRoze opened a series of shops that boasted(享有)a special meat soup called consomme Although the main attraction was the soup, Roze’s chain shops also set a new standard for dining out, which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant
Today, scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants Takevisual hints that influence what we eat: diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta(意大利面食) when their plates matched their food When
a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one, customers
recognized it as sweeter and tastier
Lighting matters, too When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn’t tell how much they’d had: those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, but were none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert
Time is money, but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants Unlike fast-food places fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend One way toencourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart(莫扎特)Whenclassical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more Fast music hurried diners outParticular scents also have an effect: diners who got the scent of lavender(薰衣草) stayed longerand spent more than those who smelled lemon, or no scent
Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—"bad" tables, crowding,high prices —don’t necessarily Din ers at bad tables — next to the kitchen door, say —spent nearly as much as others but soon fled It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not "be overly concerned about ‘bad tables,’ given that they’re profitable As for crowds, a Hong Kong study fo und that they increased
a restaurant’s reputation, suggesting great food at fair prices And doubling a
buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier
(1)The underlined phrase “none the wiser” in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were
A. not aware of eating more than usual
B. not willing to share food with others
C. not conscious of the food quality
D. not fond of the food provided
(2)How could a fine dining shop make more profit?
A. Playing classical music
B. Introducing lemon scent
C. Making the light brighter,
D. Using plates of larger size
(3)What does the last paragraph talk about?
A. Tips to attract more customers
B. Problems restaurants are faced with
C. Ways to improve restaurants' reputation
D. Common misunderstandings about restaurants

What are American high schools like? Well, I'm happy to tell you what I know.
When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened.
At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school.
There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbageverywhere.
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra and they are big and heavy,like bricks. For other classes,we only need binders(活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks,
students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn. Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students' morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.
(1)What was the writer sad for?
A.He was late for school.
B.He missed the trip at the beginning of school.
C.He didn’t know anyone.
D.American students looked down upon him.
(2)Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?
A.To attend class.
B.To share a classroom.
C.To have fun.
D.To meet teachers.
(3)According to the passage, in American high schools, _______.
A.you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
B.you'll be punished if you do not finish your homework
C.students are better at schoolwork than Chinese students
D.students care much about the grades they get
