专题7 阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题班级姓名学号分数(测试时间:45分钟)1.The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full­sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shad e­grown p roduction to full­sun production endangers the very existence of,certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full­sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full­sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result,many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level,the destru ction of the rainforest for full­sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffee­grow ing techniq ues are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full­sun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that the loss of o xygen­giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growing techniq ues are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade­grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?【推理关系】题干Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?☞文章内容本文的第一段提出观点,其后的第二、三、四段分别从不同角度进行具体论证,最后一段是总结段。

高三英语二轮专题复习题型五  文章结构题

十四、文章结构题一、篇章结构题(2018·“六校联盟”第三次联考)Careers in zoology are extremely varied and unique,and can provide incredible learning and work opportunities for anyone devoted to animal studies and welfare.Zoology,or the study of animals,is a wide field with many specialties,including research,conservation,veterinary(兽医的) medicine,and the care of animals.For people with a love of animals and some training,dreams of careers in zoology may come true.Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies.These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world.Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation,breeding programs,and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species.Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals,or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems.Some conservationists work in educational fields,trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction.Animals are subject to illness and injury,and some careers in zoology help to create a safe,stable animal population.Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field,and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian.While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets,vets in rural areas often work with large farm animalsand more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic species in zoos and wildlife preserves.Humans love to observe animals,and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs.Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing breeding programs,to creating the proper diet for a deer,or to cleaning the tiger’s cage.Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.语篇解读文章介绍了动物学相关职业的多样性,并就四种相关的职业进行了具体讲解。

高考英语-阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)-专题练习(七)有答案

高考英语专题练习(七)阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)There are many places to go on safari(观赏野生动物)in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impress ive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.2.The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.A.following space orderB.following time orderC.making classificationsD.giving examples3.Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查)on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context(背景)of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does thepossibility of f requent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents —today’s grandparents — would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.3.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?()4.【贵州省遵义航天高级中学高三第四次模拟】When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to abusiness or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensi ons and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances i n medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺)society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.4.The passage is arranged as follows ________5.【陕西省咸阳市武功县高三上学期摸底考试】Salvador Dali (1904-1989)was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.5.How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali? ________A.By popularityB.By time and subject.C.By size and shapeD.By importance.阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)答案1~5 ABBAB阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(测)解析1.【文章大意】随着现代科技的发展,树荫下种植的咖啡产量越来越少,取而代之的是受到阳光暴晒的考费。

全国2018届高三英语二轮复习试题:专题四 七选五 练习 Word版含解析

[全国卷3年考情分析][命题者说]阅读七选五不但要求学生扎实地掌握词汇和句子、语段和语篇等方面的知识,而且要求学生具备综合分析和辩证的逻辑思维能力,这是实现学生对阅读材料深层理解的基础性能力。

这种题型的语篇主线通常都很清晰,通常都是具有明确的逻辑关系的议论文或说明文。

该题型中设有五个空,而对应的选项有七个,其中有两个选项为干扰性错误选项。

这七个选项通常包括主旨句、过渡性句子、细节注释性句子三类。

主旨句主要以标题类和主题句为主,过渡性句子通常涉及文章结构,细节注释性句子主要涉及上下文逻辑意义。

因此学生需要根据文章结构、内容选出正确的选项填入相应的空白处。

新课程标准中“提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力”的阅读学习的教学理念在本题型中得以充分体现,学生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑关系的理解和掌握也得到了考查。

综合上表可知,段首题和段中题是考查重点,而段中题又以并列或递进关系和转折或让步关系居多,这就要求考生必须联系上下文去做题,仔细揣摩上下句之间的逻辑关系。

因此,在做阅读七选五时,考生可以从“位置”和“逻辑”两个角度来把握该题型的解题技巧。

下面我们就从这两个角度分两个方面来突破这一题型!掌握通性通法,内化快捷解题路径一、段首题1.空格为主旨句在某段第一句设空的内容通常是该段落主旨句。

学生需要通过认真研读该段的内容,然后从选项中查找下文的同义词或其他相关词或句,从而确定答案:有时则需反复读设空处后面一两句或更多内容,确定关键信息词,然后在各个选项中查找关联词和信息句。

一般正确答案选项与所设空后的第一句在意义上是紧密衔接的,因此正确选项和原文的内容是连贯且符合逻辑的。

[示例] (2017·全国卷Ⅲ)·__17__In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise,or just be better prepared for your day?Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.B.Find the right motivation.[解析] 本题空格在段首,需要填一个主旨句或一个承上启下句。

【剖析全国高考真题】——预测高考命题方向[2012·全国卷Ⅰ,D]Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as childrenbut hav e never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and sti ll ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试) increase the length of time we w ill remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule th at we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon t o forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.68.The author explains the law of over learning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples【答案】68. D【解析】【高考预测】纵观近几年全国高考试题,很少出现此类题型,但这一题型在地方高考和模拟试题中时有出现,因此不排除2017年全国高考试题可能会①设置1道篇章结构题,考查考生对整个篇章或其中的某个段落结构和脉络的把握。

2018高考英语二轮复习知识技巧梳理专题7阅读理解(含解析)

阅读理解预测一高考阅读理解所选材料通常都是国外网站上的地道的英语文章,然后经过命题专家整合、改编而成。

文章主要介绍国内外的文化风俗、历史名胜、人文地理、著名人物等。

预测二文章的篇幅较短,词数多为280~330,兼顾多种体裁,通常有记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等,要求考生充分利用所给信息,回答文章提出的问题。

通常文章难度不大,关键是考查考生高效处理信息的能力,还要求考生对文章有更深层次的理解。

但是题目并不容易,很容易出错。

全国卷的命题逐渐向地方自主命题卷,尤其是新课标地区的试卷看齐,不断增加词汇量和文章长度,向新课标过渡。

预测三题目设置灵活多样,通常以细节理解题为主,推理判断题为辅,兼顾猜测词义、句意题及目的意图题和主旨大意题。

这种命题特点要求考生更好地了解文章中的有用信息,提高阅读速度。

高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”,这为我们的备考指明了方向。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能,它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力,而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。

不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思,还要通过表层去推理、判断。

除此之外,还涉及非语言因素,如:对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。

考点1 主旨大意题1.主旨大意题常分为两类:(1)选出文章最佳标题;(2)概括文章或段落大意。

2.主旨大意题主要考查对文章进行概括或总结的能力,它要求在阅读短文时,能够提炼文章的中心思想,体会作者的写作意图,充分运用逻辑概括能力,透过字里行间获取文章最具代表性的观点、论点及作者的情感倾向。

研读近几年高考阅读理解,可以发现对主旨大意类的考查占有相当重要的地位。

【答题技巧】主旨大意题的三种思路:①寻找主题句,确定文章大意。

在许多情况下,尤其是在阅读说明文和议论文时,根据其篇章特点我们可以通过寻找短文的主题句来归纳出文章的主题。

主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种情况:开头、中间、结尾(或在开头结尾同时出现首尾呼应的主题句),因此,仔细阅读这类文章或段落的首尾句是关键。

possessions behind.The flood victims are now housed in various make-shift relief centers in the nearby town of Tu lang.“Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people.”A government spokesman said,“In fact,money,food and clothing have begun to come in from p ublic-spirited organizations and generous persons.”According to latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.The

afterwards.Then I joined a slimming club.My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months.I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked.But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits.I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen.Instead of losing the pounds.I put them on.I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.Roz Juma:To be honest,I never weigh myself any more I’ve leant to be happy with myself.It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips.My idea is simple.You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting.Instea d,you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body.This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and,most of all.I’m happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year.I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!That might have been my problem——perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself.Winning a national competition makes everything worse,though,because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you.I feel a complete failure because I’ve put onweight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin,I’d always been about 110 pounds,but th e pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year.Every so often I try to go on a diet …I’m really good on a few days,then end up having the

to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations(谈判)between the Rockets and NBA representatives(代表),the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft thisyear”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt(适应)to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.63.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because .A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC.he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD.he is thought highly of in the international world64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A.there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC.time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .A.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A.it can show NBA need talentsB.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC.its whole level will be improvedD.it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous67.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA,he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .A.rules of basketballB.the speedC.cultureD.techniquesDAntigua and Barbuda is the 32nd

Mr.Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.He had been to London where he had drawn £50 from the bank,and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book.At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby,badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift.Mr.Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way.As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days ago.Mr. Green was very worried at the thought of the £50 that he had put in his pocket book.Suddenly he saw a

savings.Recycling plastics and aluminum,for instance,uses only 5% to 10% as much energy as producing new plastic or smelting(提炼)aluminum.Long before most of us even noticed what we now call “the environment,” Buckminster Fuller said,“Pollution is nothing but the resources(资源)we are not harvesting.We allow them to be left around because we’ve been ignorant of their value.” To take one example,let’s compare the throwaway economy(经济)with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day.Each empty can of its food weighs 40g.In a throwaway economy,you would throw away 5,475 cans over the cat’s 15-year lifetime.That’s 219kg of steel—more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat’s weight.In a recycling economy,we would make one set of 100 cans to start with,then replace them over and over again with recycled cans.Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing,we’d have to make an extra 10 cans each year.But in all,only 150 cans will be used up over the cat’s lifetime—and we’ll still have 100 left over for the next cat.Instead of using up 219kg of steel,we’ve used only 6kg.And becau se the process of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel,we’ve also achieved the following significant savings:in energy use—47% to 74%;in air pollution—85%;in water pollution—35%;in water use—40%.1.What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?A.It is becoming more serious.B.It destroys the environment.C.It benefits the economy.D.It is t he resources yet to be used.2.How many cans will be used up in a cat’s 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?A.50.B.100.C.150.D.250.3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To promote the idea of recycling.B.To introduce an environmentalist.C.To discuss the causes of pollution.D.To defend the throwaway economy.〚导学号44994000〛B(2017·浙江温州九校高三期末)As Charlotte arrived at the big living room,her mother Sarah and her new stepfather(继父)Robert Graham turned from the window and faced her.We shall never have Mom to ourselves again,Charlotte thought.If only she were just a kid,and could cry wildly in anger on the floor!Instead,she forced a smile.She rushed forward and threw her arms round Sarah and kissed her wildly,knocking her hat crooked(歪的)and making her cry out.“Darling!You’ll knock me down!”“You look great,mom!”Charlotte cried and knew she was shouting.She was hot again,red and untidy and looking like the last kind of girl any man would want to have as a stepdaughter.Her brother Nicholas,however,went to the other extreme.He was so calm that he was positively rude,and Charlotte knew before he started it that he was going to act like a bad schoolboy.“Oh Nicholas,do behave!” Sarah cried.“Robert,they’re showing off!”Although she was laughing,they both heard the little ring of disappointment in her voice,and both knew that they were letting her down.They had surely never had such a difficult moment.It was Robert Graham who saved the situation.He came forward holding out both hands.“I am deeply grateful to you two young peop le.You’ve had Sarah to yourselves for a long time.Thank you for agreeing to share her with me.I know it can’t be easy.”And although this was just the sort of words they would call dull,the sincerity(真诚)gave it a guarantee.They knew he meant what he said.He was indeed thanking them.And by doing so he pulled them back to reality and made them themselves again.4.Upon entering the living room,Charlotte experienced .A.a sudden sense of lossB.a curiosity to see her stepfatherC.an urge to be more polite than NicholasD.a feeling of anger directed at her stepfather5.Sarah found the moment difficult because she was .A.deeply moved by Charlotte’s

Kate’s mind like an electric shock.An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later.If it were not stopped,that long train,full of passengers,would fall into the stream.“Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought.But who was to go?She would have to go herself.There was no one else.In wind and rain she started on her difficult w ay.Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River,a bridge also built of wood,just like the bridge across Honey Creek.The storm had not washed this away,but there was no footpath across it.She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper.With great care she began the dangerous crossing,sometimes on her hands and knees,hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below.If she should slip,she would fall between the sleepers,into the rapidly flowing stream.At last—she never knew how long it had taken her—she felt solid ground under her feet.But there was no time to rest.She still had to run more than half a mile and had onlya few minutes left.Unless she reached the station before the express did,many,many lives would be lost.She did reach the station just as the train came into sight.Fortunately thestation-master was standing outside.“The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh,please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.The station-master went pale.He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light.He waved the red light as the train came into the station.It was not a second too early.7.What did Kate decide to do?A.Stop the express train.B.Check the signal light.C.Meet the passengers.D.Visit the station-master.8.Which of the following words best descri bes Kate’s journey?A.Fruitless.B.Boring.C.Well-planned.D.Risky.9.Why did the station-master turn pale?A.He suddenly fell ill.B.He realized the danger.C.He discovered his mistake.D.He became over-excited.〚导学号44994002〛D(原创)It began to rain yesterday morning and it still hasn’t stopped.Rain suggests gentle.It has not been gentle.The rain barrel,waiting to be attached to the downspout,was knocked over,not to mention a few chairs in the air.The university choir was to be transported to our venue(演出地点)by 4:45 p.m.They would be missing dinner at their dormitory,so one of our choir members prepared both a vegetarian meal as well as a non-vegetarian meal for the 25 singers.Others of us prepared side-dishes.Their bus never arrived for them.In the pouring rain,they had to take the taxi from Hyde Park to a stop near our concert site.Several of our members,dressed in concert dress,drove to the station making several trips to pick up the student singers,and not all of them arrived on the same train.It was amazing to see a numb er of volunteers,dripping wet themselves volunteering again to drive the students back to the university.The beauty of this was seeing everyone giving of themselves.Not only that,but offering to drive the students the distance back to the university,which was not a short commute(通勤).After many phone calls,still not quite certain what happened to arrival bus,but there was a bus waiting to take them back.Hopefully,everything will be in order today.10.What damaged the author’s pl an?A.The heavy rain.B.The heavy snow.C.The strong wind.D.The university choir.11.What did one of the choir members prepare for dinner for the 25 singers?A.Drink and fruit.B.Some snacks.C.Some side-dishes.D.A vegetarian meal and a non-vegetarian meal.12.What’s the most moving in the passage?A.Everything in order.B.The delicious dinner.C.Volunteers’ unselfish help.D.Several trips to the station.13.The underlined phrase “giving of” means in the last paragraph.A.releasingB.dedicatingC.losingD.helping参考答案阅读理解提升练(一) 细节理解题A【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

高考英语-阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(练)-专题练习(七)(含答案与解析)

高考英语专题练习(七)阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(练)一、阅读理解Why college is not homeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, e-mail and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behaviour and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behaviour runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behaviour is too strictly defined(规定)and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behaviour that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents’ desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behaviour should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.1.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?()2.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP:Central Point P:Point Sp:Sub-point(次要点)C:Conclusion 3.【2011陕西卷,D】Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified(GM,转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact, studies show that the most crown GM crop. GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,”said Bill Christenson, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.3.The author develops the second paragraph mainly()A.By classification B.by comparisonC.by example D.by process4.【2010重庆卷C】It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population — men and women — are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right­handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shi rts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. Aft er all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, sinc e anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.4.The passage is mainly developed by()A.analyzing causesB.making comparisonsC.examining differencesD.following the time order5.【2010湖北卷B】For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no­win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.5.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?()A.Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.B.Examples of the parent-teen war.C.Solutions for the parent-teen problems.D.Future of the parent-teen relationship.6.【2010江西卷C】Kong Zi, also called Confucius(551~479 B.C.), and Socrates (469~399 B.C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:“ Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.6.This passage is organized in the pattern of()A.time and eventsB.comparison and contrastC.cause and effectD.definition and classification高考英语专题练习(七)阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(练)答案1~5 CDCAC6.B高考英语专题练习(七)阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(练)解析1.文章结构题.第一段提出论点:大学阶段应该是自我能力和个性发展的重要成长时期,然而现在成了青春期的延伸期,在此期间,很多大学生没有承担起成年人的责任,第二段分析其原因:目前这一代人,大学阶段本来应该是独立阶段,但是父母包办过多.第三、四段从学校、个人两方面谈到如何培养责任感和社交能力;第五、六段是第三、四段观点的延伸,最后一段呼吁大学应该意识到培养学生自我发展和自我规范的重要性。

Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety forhigh-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.”However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers arc visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.10. The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .A. giving examples.B. analysing causes.C. providing figures.D. making comparisons.2.【河南省豫北豫南名校2018届高三上学期第二次联考】BI once knew a high school teacher who made, in my mind, a curious comment. Referring to a naughty student, heremarked, with a tone of gloomy resigna tion, “People don’t change.” I knew the kid well. He was what one would call a “juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”. But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids, what was the point teaching?My own son, Alyosha, growing up, was athletic, energetic, and occasionally hard to handle. But he never showed the least interest in tools, or working with his hands in any way. The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush. I recall one day, as I fussed under the car, calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(知动扳手). He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子). “No,” I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place. “Pliers.” He went back into the garage and returned with a bar. “No, no,” I corrected him. “The adjustable wrench! For loosening a nut.” To which, in his own defennce, he exclaimed, “Well, I don’t know!”Years passed. And then, one day, well into his 20s, he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology. I nodded approvingly, but already knew that it was a challenging field, full of moving parts, tools, and dreaded math.During his period in Coast Guard technical school I thought about him daily, wondering what the outcome would be. I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen. The phone did ring, but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar. Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my s on, Alyosha, standing at attention and staring dead ahead, glanced at me. “You want me to help you, Dad?” he said. “Always,” I answered, “but not this time.”Yeah, people do chance. And, in my experience, it’s usually something to see.5. The examples in Paragraph 3 are used to show Alyosha___________.A. lacked team spiritB. knew nothing about mechanicsC. had a bad relationship with his dadD. was unwilling to learn any handwork3.【山东省曲阜市2018届高三上学期期中】DIt’s true that quite a few most respected scie ntific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisibleblanket.Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.12. The text is developed by ________.A. giving typical examplesB. following the order of spaceC. comparing and finding differencesD. analyzing a theory and arguing it4.The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of,certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result,many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growingtechniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?5.There are many places to go on safari(观赏野生动物)in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face, it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.1.The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by________.A. following space orderB. following time orderC. making classificationsD. giving examples6. Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvementis greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their c hildren’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.5. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?7.【贵州省遵义航天高级中学2016届高三第四次模拟,D】When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicatesthat the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and self-centered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old pe ople” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual’s freedom and right to work and can deprive(剥夺) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.35.

专题7 阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题1.[2016·北京卷]DWhy college is not homeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, e­mail and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on ” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behaviour and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behaviour runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behaviour is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behaviour that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency.What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents' desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behaviour should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self­regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self­discovery.70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A.

D.I:Introduction P:Point Sp:Sub­point(次要点) C:Conclusion2.【2012·北京,D】Wilderness“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.”This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism.The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection:whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out,there is a strong appeal in images of the wild,the untouched;more than anything else,they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly.The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong,and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real.Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests,for example,store carbon in vast quantities.To Mr.Sauven,these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane,a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute,takes the opposing view.He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services,such as water conservation.But that is not,he argues,a reason to avoid all human presence,or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation.There are ever more people on the Earth,and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives,rather than merely struggle for survival.While the ways of using resources have improved,there is still a growing need for raw materials,and some wildernesses contain them in abundance.If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide,the argument goes,there is no further reason not to do so.Being untouched is not,in itself,a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further,and to their being challenged by the other participants.One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly.And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings,but also the guidance of reason.What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.70.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP:Central Point P:Point Sp:Sub­point(次要点)C:Conclusion【答案】D3.【2011陕西卷,D】Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,genetically modified (GM,转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would,is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact, studies show that the most crown GM crop.GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analyzed nearly two decadesof research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). On thecontrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. "The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true," said Bill Christenson, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which "green" farming is supposed to be the first choice.57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly .A.by classificationB.by comparisonC.by exampleD.by process【答案】C4.【2010·重庆卷·C】It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes.What seems strange,however,is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men.Take a look at the way your clothes button.Men’s clothes tend to button from the right,and women’s from the left.Considering most of the world’s population—men and women—are right­handed,the men’s standard wo uld appear to make more sense for women.So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century,when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly r ight­handed servants,having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier.On the other hand,having men’s shirts button from the right made sense,too.Most men dressed themselves,and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants,but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them.Is it interesting?Actually,a standard,once set,resists change.At a time when allwomen’s shirts buttoned from the left,it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right.After all,women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides,some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right,since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.4.The passage is mainly developed by .A.analyzing causesB.making comparisonsC.examining differencesD.following the time order【答案】A5.【2010·湖北卷·B】For many parents,raising a teenager is like fighting a long war,but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries,the parent­teen war is about boundaries:Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part,this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents’point of view,the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’complete unreasonableness.And of course,the teens see it in exactly the same way,except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article,I’ll describe three no­win situations that commonly aris e between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no­win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen’s hair,the cleanliness of the bedroom,the preferred style of clothing,the child’s f ailure to eat a good breakfast before school,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.Second,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third,needing to be right.It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong,for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately,as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.It doesn’t matter what the to pic is—politics,the laws of physics,or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to

and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city­states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的) than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:“Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.”He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.For Socrates,the family was of no

A(2017·深圳第一次调研) Much information can be conveyed,purely through our eyes,so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement?On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger,but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry about others’ staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information,right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze (注视) ,his intentions are obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking,to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact,continuous eye contact happens between lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time,to show love that words cannot express.Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.语篇解读本文介绍了“眼睛会说话”的观点,告诉我们不同场合眼神交流所代表的不同含义。

Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,00 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say th eir motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.”However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers arc visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that India's decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.10.

Referring to a naught y student, he remarked, with a tone of gloomy resignation, “People don’t change.” I knew the kid well. He was what one would call a “juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”. But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids, what was the point teaching?My own son, Alyosha, growing up, was athletic, energetic, and occasionally hard to handle. But he never showed the least interest in tools, or working with his hands in any way. The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush. I rec all one day, as I fussed under the car, calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(知动扳手). He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子). “No,” I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place. “Pliers.” He went back into the garage and returned with a b ar. “No, no,” I corrected him. “The adjustable wrench! For loosening a nut.” To which, in his own defennce, he exclaimed, “Well, I don’t know!”Years passed. And then, one day, well into his 20s, he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology. I nodded approvingly, but already knew that it was a challenging field, full of moving parts, tools, and dreaded math.During his period in Coast Guard technical school I thought about him daily, wondering what the outcome would be. I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen. The phone did ring, but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar. Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my son, Alyosha, standing at attention and staring dead ahead, glanced at me. “You want me to help you, Dad?” he said. “Always,” I answered, “but not this time.”Yeah, people do chance. And, in my experience, it’s usually something to see.5.

There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the plan et’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases produ cing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. Thatob viously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.12. The text is developed by ________.A. giving typical examplesB. following the order of spaceC. comparing and finding differencesD. analyzing a theory and arguing it【答案】12. D4.The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full­sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade­grown production to full­sun production endangers the very existence of,certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full­sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full­sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result,many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for full­sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffee­growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full­sun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygen­giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade­grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?【答案定位】本文的第一段提出观点,其后的第二、三、四段分别从不同角度进行具体论证,最后一段是总结段。
