考点·考向·考法综合练(二十六)限时:50分钟阅读+任务型阅读+语法填空+书面表达Ⅰ.阅读理解Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母表) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.1.According to some critics, in what ways do children suffer from television?A.They become the victims of social violence.B.The programs make the children lose interest in the world.C.They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.D.The programs make the children spend too much of their parents' money.2.Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ________.A.they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB.commercials teach children the alphabet and numbersC.commercials help to sell productsD.they don't like commercials3.Educational television is widely appreciated because ________.A.it does have the same commercials as othersB.it offers programs for both children and their parentsC.children can learn some school subjects before they go to schoolD.many parents like the programs it offers to their children4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB.Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC.Television's Influence on ChildrenD.More Educational TelevisionⅡ.任务型阅读(2015·山东省实验中学第三次诊断考试)May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States.This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall.But according to a recent report, there is a great change.Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.1.________These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier. 2.________ On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time.Students may not like being put on waiting lists.Also, common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some universities send gifts. 3.________ For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous. 4.________ The recent problems that spread from thehousing market to credit markets have even affected students' loans. So lately, top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.5.________ The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down. This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school. The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.A.Besides, top colleges are facing changes in the population.B.What contributes to it?C.But a mistake can be costly if it happens.D.But top colleges ignore them.E.They have international students who know English.F.It can mean several acceptances to choose from.G.They cannot afford college as planned.Ⅲ.语法填空(2015·皖北协作区联考)Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people's daily life. These proverbs are often interesting stories. 1.________ example, the proverb, “pluck up a crop 2.________ (help) it grow”,is based on the following story.It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) was very anxious to help his rice crop grow up 3.________ (quick). He was thinking about 4.________ day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.One day, he came up with an idea 5.________ he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.He was very tired after doing this for a whole day, 6.________ he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 7.________ (high).His son 8.________ (hear) about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 9.________ (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 10.________ (result) in the contrary to our intention.Ⅳ.书面表达(2015·九江市第二次高考模拟)近年来,微信(Wechat)成为了人们日常生活中必不可少的通讯工具,尤其在今年春节期间,“微信抢红包热”(Red envelop fever)风靡全国。

考点·考向·考法综合练(十一)限时:30分钟阅读(2篇)+短文改错(2篇)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·四川绵阳高中诊断性考试)One day I was walking home along the street with my iPod on, when suddenly my headphones were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck, saying “Just be quiet”. I was being attacked, and this man's arm was gripping (紧夹) onto me! I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying “Be quiet”.My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother's voice in my head. She was saying “Come on now, I know you are stronger than that!”She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.I have never had any self-defense (自卫) training, but I went for it — I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin (胫骨)! He let go of me and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me, I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby drugstore.I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs. “I am calling the police!”She exclaimed. When we got home, two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.After my experience, I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better, but I still don't like anyone going near my neck.The fear isn't totally gone — after all, the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.1.How did the author get rid of the man?A.Her great-grandmother came and helped.B.She used all her strength to pull him off her.C.Her loud scream scared the attacker and people came to help.D.Her great-grandmother's words gave her the strengthto defend herself.2.After the author escaped from the man, she ________.A.called the policeB.called her motherC.screamed to get more attentionD.looked back to remember his appearance3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The accident left no influence on the author.B.The attack made the author more confident in a way.C.The author suddenly remembered some self-defense moves.D.The author was so frightened that she did nothing to fight back.4.What might be the author's purpose of writing this passage?A.To show the importance of self-defense training.B.To warn teenagers of possible dangers on the way to school.C.To show how brave she was while she was being attacked at that time.D.To share her experience and tell us that we are perhaps not as weak as we thought we were.BAre you willing to work for a robot boss? Sorry if your answer was “no”,because it will be common in the near future, according to researchers from Oxford.A__third__of__British__jobs__are__at__“high__risk”__of__being__replaced__by__robots in the next 20 years, the research by Deloitte, the Oxford Martin School and the University of Oxford found.Wired magazine went further. “It may be hard to believe, but before the end of this century, 70 percent of today's occupations will be replaced by automation (自动化技术),”said the magazine in 2012.Of course, people being replaced by robots is not recent news. Robots have been taking over labor work in factories and on farms for some time, lifting heavy boxes and picking fruit and vegetables. Next, cleaning chores in offices and schools will be taken over by late-night robots, starting with easy-to-do floors and windows and eventually moving to toilets, Wired predicted.But that's just the beginning. Even white-collar jobs are not safe. Any job dealing with sales, services or lots of paperwork could be taken over by robots in the future. For example, in the UK, library assistants have decreased by 48 percent since 2001, sales-related jobs have fallen by 40 percent, and travel agents by 44 percent, the Daily Mail reported.But that doesn't mean that human beings will have nothing to do in the future. Instead, we need to update our skills. Digital (数字化的) know-how, management and creativity will be in greater demand in the future, said British consulting company Deloitte.5.The underlined part means “________”.A.a third of British jobs are dangerousB.a third of British jobs are of high profitC.British people may lose a third of their jobsD.British people may replace a third of robots' jobs6.From the passage, we know late-night robots are mainly made to do ________.A.factory and farm jobsB.cleaning jobsC.difficult jobsD.white-collar jobs7.In the UK, sales-related jobs have decreased by ________ since 2010.A.70%B.48%C.44% D.40%8.The best title for this passage is ________.A.Robots to Take ChargeB.Robots to Be SmarterC.Robots to Do Hard JobsD.Robots to Do PaperworkⅡ.短文改错A(2015·长沙四校模拟)My friendship with Yang Qing began when we meet in our school's photo club. From then on we became good friend. We had common interest on basketball and often shared our experience about photographing. On weekends we rode to play the basketball together. Now in Senior 3, we seldom play together, or still keep in touch and encourage each other. With the College Entrance Examination comes near, I'm worried about what my life will like as we may go to different universities. But now what doesn't worry me any more. Because I know just as the old saying goes: truly friendshipwill always live on no matter where far apart we are.BIt is known to all that nothing is much precious than time. A famous saying goes, “Time is money”,which shows that time is invaluable. When time is gone, it never return. But it is pity that some people didn't make full use of their time. They spend a lot of time sleep, chatting or playing computer game. They don't realize that wasting time is actual equal to killing themselves. We always regret not having made great achievements. However, to be successful, they should first form the habit of being on time. Don't put down what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead to failure.考点·考向·考法练(十一)Ⅰ.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者的一次经历。

专题强化练十五组合练(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解It was just one word in one e-mail,but it caused huge financial losses for a multinational company.The message,written in English,was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second language.Unsure of the word,the receiver found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary.He acted on the wrong one.Months later,senior management investigated why the project had failed,costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.When such misunderstandings happen,it's usually the native speakers who are to blame.Ironically,they are worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language.A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world's global language.They don't feel the need to accommodate or adapt to others.They often talk too fast for others to follow,and use jokes,slang,short forms and references specific to their own culture. “The first time I worked in an international institution,somebody said‘ETA 16:53’and I thought‘What on earth is ETA?’”says Michael Blattrer,an executive in an international company.And then there's cultural style.When a British reacts to a proposal by saying“That's interesting”, a fellow British might recognize this as“That's rubbish.”But other nationalities would take the word“interesting”on face value.Also,lots of the information is not fully understood because ofthe complex language native speakers use.Too many non-native speakers,especially the Asians and the French,are too concerned about not“losing face”and nod approvingly while not getting the message at all,because of which,the native speakers continue delivering information that makes little sense to them.The information gap is unnoticed and keeps widening.Native speakers should communicate efficiently with simple language.When trying to communicate in English with a group of people with different levels of fluency,it's important for native speakers to make the same point in a couple of different ways and ask for some acknowledgement,reaction and action,to know whether they've been understood or not.【语篇解读】当母语是英语的人和母语是非英语的人交流时,由于前者的表达习惯,比如用一些俚语、简略语等,而后者又碍于面子不懂装懂,因此产生的信息沟越来越大。

考点·考向·考法综合练(十九)限时:30分钟阅读(2篇)+短文改错(2篇)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·河北百校联盟高三调研)It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland's oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education. A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women's Day.The document was discovered buried in the university archives (档案) by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: “We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus (校评议委员会) at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn't know documentary evidence existed. While searching the archives for information about the university's higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.”In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877. Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.1.Sophia wrote a letter to St Andrews University because she wanted to ________.A.carry out a research project thereB.set up a medical institute thereC.study medicine thereD.deliver lectures there2.Lis Smith found Sophia's letter to St Andrews University ________.A.by pure chanceB.in the school officeC.with her supporters' helpD.while reading history books3.Sophia's letter resulted in the establishment of ________.A.the London School of Medicine for WomenB.a degree programme for womenC.a system of medical educationD.the University of Berne4.When did St Andrews University begin to take full-time women students?A.In 1873.B.In 1874.C.In 1877.

The season brings a large number of places to see and things to do. We've collected some of the best reasons why you should plan a trip here in the coming months.It's a Harvest SeasonAutumn marks the height of the agricultural season, which not only means a variety of autumn fruits and vegetables at the farmers' markets, but also means that the season is heating up with fun, family farm events. Three apple festivals this fall will celebrate the diversity and deliciousness of Oregon-grown apples.The Colors Are ChangingOn a cool, autumn day, the rural, agricultural and forested scenery of Oregon's Washington County comes alive with bright red, orange and yellow leaves — a stark contrast to the deep, dark green of the trees that share these landscapes.Bird Migration Season Is in High SeasonSeptember and October are busy months for bird watchers. Migratory and native birds call Wa shington County “home”,whether it's for the winter or they're just visiting on their southern voyage.Wine Harvest Season Brings Signature Tasting EventsCelebrate the splendor of Oregon wine at two of the region's biggest wine events, which happen annually in the fall. The North Willamette Harvest Trail and Grand Tasting is a full-day guided bus tour to three wineries featuring hands-on experiences, vineyard exploration, a wine country lunch, and wine tastings.Experience Tree-to-Tree Adventures at SunsetEnjoy the crisp temperatures and rich colors of the season at Tree Adventure Park, an aerial ropes course with six challenging courses and zip-line park, all rolled into one. These are the final months to enjoy this fun and exciting attraction until it closes for the season in November.Plan your own Oregon's Washington County autumn getaway.

At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happened. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.I was proud what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else is in need.

Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much.They__live__in__too__big__a__house__with__too__many__rooms,__yet__their__house__of__li fe__is__a__hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.1.The author intends to tell us that ________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that ________.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage3.It can be learned from the passage that________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of LifeB.Secret of WealthC.Rest and RefreshmentD.Interest and EnthusiasmⅡ.完形填空(2015·黑龙江省双鸭山市第一中学高三模拟)Lyse Doucet lives a happy life in Chicago.

It isjust the opposite・ Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work・ It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as "bracketing: Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping into his or he匚_shoes. Moreover, since listening well invoIves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person・ Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth・Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的).In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy (心、理疗》去), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained・ There are several reasons for this phenomen on, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was beingtruly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.1 . The phrase "stepping into his or her shoes" in Paragraph2 probably meansA. preparing a topic list firstB • foc using on on^s own mindC・ directing the talk to the desired resultsD・ experiencing the speaker's inside world2・ What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. How to listen well.B. What to listen to.C.Benefits of listening・D.Problems in listening3.According to the author, in communication people tend to _______ ・A・ listen activelyB ・ listen purposefullyC • set aside their prejudicesD.open up their inner mind4.What type of writing is the article likely to be?A ・ Science fiction. B. A news report・C. A medical report・D.

Here's why.Tomorrow is not promisedNobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have・ 2. _______ Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.The world is waiting on your giftI know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! You were born into theworld with a unique gift. Other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to singexactly like you. 3. ________ Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.You can f t let fear winOne of the biggest dream killers is fear. There are so many people who could have achieved amazing things if only they werent afraid・ Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable・ Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create・ 4. ________You'll be much happier if you go for itImagine how much happier you'll be if youTe living the life you always dreamed about.

考点·考向·考法综合练(二十)限时:30分钟阅读+任务型阅读+语法填空Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·河北保定八校联考) As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With eachre-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack__their__spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers”.It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we're fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience — by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.1.The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to ________.A.attract the attention of readersB.introduce the topic of the passageC.provide some background informationD.show the similarity between re-readers2.The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”.A.recite them themC.recall them them3.It can be learned from the passage that ________.A.reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB.readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC.we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD.writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do 4.The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.call on different understandings of old booksB.focus on the mental health benefits of readingC.bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD.introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2015·河北保定市高三调研试题)Different CulturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain (美索不达米亚平原) — the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.4.________ Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic (象形文字的) language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.The differences are everywhere. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being.

He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much too little.”His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father. But if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”“That would be a very (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Nick said.Nick's guests, had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”“But such a small thing couldn't (possible) destroy a village.”“In the beginning, there was only very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”考点·考向·考法练(二十)Ⅰ.语篇解读:随着我们渐渐变老,我们意识到读书的时间那么少,有很多好书,我们没有去读。

考点·考向·考法综合练(十二)限时:30分钟阅读+任务型阅读+语法填空Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·湖南常德四校模拟)Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping__into__his__or__her__shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy (心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.1.The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes”in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A.preparing a topic list firstB.focusing on one's own mindC.directing the talk to the desired resultsD.experiencing the speaker's inside world2.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.How to listen well. B.What to listen to.C.Benefits of listening. D.Problems in listening3.According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.A.listen activelyB.listen purposefullyC.set aside their prejudicesD.open up their inner mind4.What type of writing is the article likely to be?A.Science fiction. B.A news report.C.A medical report. D.Popular science.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2015·陕西咸阳模拟)There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? 1.________ We have to go for them now! Here's why.Tomorrow is not promisedNobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. 2.________ Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.The world is waiting on your giftI know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! You were born into the world with a unique gift. Other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. 3.________ Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.You can't let fear winOne of the biggest dream killers is fear. There are so many people who could have achieved amazing things if only they weren't afraid. Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create.4.________You'll be much happier if you go for itImagine how much happier you'll be if you're living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing that is stopping you is you. 5.________ Don't keep your dreams waiting.A.Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.B.Other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.C.Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.D.Take control of your own happiness.E.Doors that you couldn't imagine open up when you go after what you want.F.Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.G.Our dreams should not, and cannot wait.Ⅲ.语法填空I gain a lot of rewarding experiences from some social activities.

From its very beginning, A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food. “The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots, hanging hams, catching fish using a net, opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns, and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears. What a lovely China!”a viewer said.A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people, food and society from the perspective of food.The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious toil. Some people see patriotism in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.How did this documentary achieve a tremendous influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?“It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about China's splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord with the audience,”an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality. Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality.It is said sarcastically that Americans like to shoot sci-fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. The correctness of this arbitrary conclusion is debatable, but it has raised a thought-provoking question. Works that are createdbehind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people's desire for ample food and clothing will not touch people's hearts.A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,”said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.1.A Bite of China has all the following emotional influences EXCEPT ________.A.reminding people of their memories about familyB.making people treasure every grainC.arousing people's patriotism towards their countryD.calling on people to export their culture2.Which of the following statements about A Bite of China is TRUE according to the passage?A.It only focuses on the luxury lives of a few people in China.B.It stresses the emotions of ordinary Chinese people in its shooting.C.It has been considered a “weak player” on TV since it was produced.D.It provides a unique view of Chinese from the perspective of humanity.3.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Sincerity and Reality, Great SuccessB.Food and Culture, Commercial ProgramC.Techniques and Art, Huge PopularityD.Patriotism and Respect, Tremendous InfluenceⅣ.任务型阅读(2015·吉林第二次调研)It's 9 a.m. , the morning rush hour in Toronto. A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly. Several passers-by stop to help the man. One woman reaches into her purse forher cellphone and hits 911, the emergency number. 1.________ Within ten minutes, the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and is sent to the hospital for life-saving treatment.This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities. Over the years, cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies. 2.________ But none of these would be possible without the cooperation of car drivers who yield (让路) to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets. In fact, it's against the law for drivers not to yield.To yield means to give away or, more specifically, to get out of the way. 3.________ As yet, China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield, whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles. 4.________ Drivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance's siren.In Canada, failing to yield to an ambulance vehicle can result in a fine of D|S400~D|S2,000 and reduction of three points off your license. That's for a first offense. 5.________ This punishment is severe because lives are in danger.A.It has resulted in many lives being saved.B.A second offense results in a bigger fine, the loss of your driver's license for two years and a possible jail sentence.C.It saves lives and, who knows, someday it may save your own.D.Three minutes later, sirens (警报) are heard in the distance as a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area.E.It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass.F.Recently, an injured Beijing cyclist died on the way to hospital because the ambulance carrying him got stuck in city traffic.G.Safe driving depends on driver's being aware of the traffic around them and yielding when necessary.考点·考向·考法练(三)Ⅰ.1.yourself 2.it 3.one 4.everything 5.those 6.above7.for8.within9.in10.beyondⅡ.1.in 2.yourself 3.It 4.something 5. at 6.with7.to8.In9.your 10.toⅢ.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。

考点·考向·考法综合练(二十一)限时:50分钟阅读+完形+短文改错+书面表达Ⅰ.阅读理解There's a great article in the New York Times this week about the tradition of buying a coffee for a stranger at the same time that you buy your own. They call it caffè__sospeso,__the name for “suspended (暂留的) coffee”in its birthplace. In some cafes, folks in need may claim a suspended coffee and drink it without cost.No doubt the free coffee will be welcomed by people who love coffee but for one reason or another don't have the money to buy one. But I also like the opportunity; it offers customers to become philanthropists (慈善家). Every time they order a coffee, they can give one to somebody in need.This is a tradition that began some 100 years ago in Naples, Italy. In Naples, as reported by the Times, people love this kind of giving:“To me, the philosophy of the suspended coffee is that you are happy today, and you give a coffee to the world, as a present.” —Luigi Solito“It's a simple act of generosity: an act in which donors and recipients (接受者) never meet each other. The donor doesn't show off and the recipient doesn't have to show gratitude.”—Laura Cozzolino“Coffee consumptions started earlier than the unification (统一) of Italy by more than 200 years, so the traditions around it are very ancient. In Naples, coffee is a world in itself, both culturally and socially.”— Andrea IllyThe practice of buying suspended coffees has grown in popularity — with websites popping up and hundreds of cafes from Canada to Brazil to Hungary to the US offering the service.1.Who are suspended coffees intended for?A.Cafe goers.B.People who can't afford a coffee.C.Philanthropists.D.Coffee lovers who live in Naples.2.How can someone get a suspended coffee?A.He can ask for one in any cafe.B.He can apply for one on websites.C.He can buy one in a cafe offering the service.D.He can drink one in a cafe that has prepaid coffees.3.What does Laura Cozzolino think of buying suspended coffees?A.She thinks it is a great way of charity.B.She thinks it is a cheap gift to strangers.C.She thinks it is an ancient Italian custom.D.She thinks it is spreading widely in the world.4.The underlined words in Paragraph 1 are words of ________.A.French B.Old EnglishC.Italian D.American EnglishⅡ.完形填空(2015·东北三校第一次联考) “Paul must have been trying to carry his waste paper to the garbage can and dropped a few pieces.” I __1__,picking them up. __2__ later I found more pieces.No quiet sighing this time.I __3__,“Who is throwing garbage?”No answer.Instead, I saw more bits of paper silently floating __4__ from upstairs.

It was a little heavy, which made me very curiously. So I intended to open it at once but she prevented me do so. She said I mustn't open it until I went back home but gave me a naughty smile. Although there is a strong desire in my mind to know that was inside the box, I just did as she said. On the way to home, all I did was thinking about the puzzle.Finally I opened the box. It was a cup printing with a pink word —friendship.It was so lovely that I liked very much.Now, every time I use a cup, I will think about her and the friendship between us.Ⅳ.书面表达前央视记者柴静在2015年年初推出了她自费拍摄的雾霾深度调查纪录片《穹顶之下》。

考点·考向·考法综合练(十五)限时:30分钟阅读(2篇)+短文改错(2篇)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·湖南省湖中名校联考)Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air on the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, U.S.A., has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological (神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.1.What harmful effect of polluted air is mentioned in other studies?A.The harmful effect on learning.B.The harmful effect on all the organs.C.The harmful effect on lungs and heart.D.The harmful effect on improving memory.2.The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those EXCEPT ________.A.high blood pressure problemsB.making human hair thinnerC.different kinds of diseasesD.swelling in much of the body3.From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas ________.A.are likely to suffer from mental problemsB.can measure the negative effect on themC.show little concern for air pollutionD.can be exposed to polluted air longer4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Long-time Exposure to Air PollutionB.Evidence and Concern of Air PollutionC.Measurable Effect on Human BrainD.Mental Problems Caused by Air PollutionBThe Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America. You can spend two weeks in our luxury four-star hotel. The cost of your flight is included in the holiday, and you can bepicked up from your home by our special airport bus. On your arriving, our coach will be waiting to take you to the hotel. All flights leave from Heathrow on a Monday morning.The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront, and many rooms have wonderful ocean views. If swimming and surfing are not enough for you, the hotel also offers horse rides on the island, and a discount membership of the golf club.The Rain Forest Adventure HolidayEvery year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training, and talks on the local wildlife.Then you take a bus into the forest. You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology. All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness, and they are not suitable for families with young children. Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time, so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays, you will need to book early!5.Choosing the Tropical Paradise Holiday, travelers can enjoy ________.A.a welcome partyB.beautiful ocean viewsC.different indoor activitiesD.free membership of the golf club6.What can we learn about the rain forest holiday?A.Travelers will learn to talk with wild animals.B.Different means of transportation will be used.C.The holiday will end with a survival training.D.Booking early, travelers will get a discount.7.What kind of people will probably choose the rain forest holiday?A.People loving water sports.B.People travelling with children.C.People preferring comfortable hotels.D.People concerned with environment and wildlife.8.Which of the following is mentioned in both holidays?A.Transportation. B.Price.C.Reservation. D.Departure time.Ⅱ.短文改错AOne day, on my way home after school, I found out a bag lying on the road. I picked it up. There was many money and a business card in the bag. From the card I know something about an owner, including her phone number. I realized I could get in touch the owner. So I called the owner, told her about the matter. Then I waited at the bus stop. It was not long after the owner arrived, and I gave the bag to her. So exciting and thankful to me was the owner that she took out some money to reward me, and I politely refused it. Then I walked back home, feeling very happy and pride.BI am writing this letter to express my regret that I can't go to the Great Wall with you next weekend.It's really pity.I feel sorry for them and want you to know that happened.Yesterday, my father, worked in the United States now, informed me that he would be back to home tomorrow.I was very happy when I heard the news.Father and I had not seen each other for two years, but I am really looking forward to this meeting.I sincere hope that you can be able to think in my position and accept my apology.I would appreciate your allowing me to make another dates to go to the Great Wall.Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused.考点·考向·考法练(十五)Ⅰ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。
