Math is a creative effort —that's what we want people to realise，” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum's associate direct or.The museum, also named MoMath, has two floors of an officebuilding. The museum's target audience is children in the fourth through eighth grades, but the exhibits can be enjoyed by younger children on one level, while challenging adults on another. The exhibits allowmuseumgoers to create objects that will be put on display, either by building them with a Tinker Toylike system or by computer modeling. There is also a wall visitors can cover with math nets in the shapes of rabbits and monkeys.Sharon Collins, a highschool math teacher, says her students saw the realworld connections of math at the museum, which are sometimes passed over in a classroom setting. “I think that it's very interesting. I'm building with different shapes, and I'm playing on them，”one of her students said.Jennifer Florez brought her 4yearold son to MoMath. She said，“I'll return for more visits. My son is a little young for some of the exhibits, but there's enough here to keep little ones interested. This will be a museum we'll come back to and revisit as he gets older.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了美国数学博物馆的有关情况及老师、家长对它的看法。

高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解(附参考答案) ATERNANG,Mon—More than 10 000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks.People straggling higher ground were just in time to get away from the destroy of the flood.Most of the flood victims had to leave their 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 whole town is expected to be totally covered by water.So far no casualty has been reported.56.According to the latest report .A.it had been raining for six daysB.more than 10 000 people had no place to liveC.the town had already been totally floodedD.the government tried its best to help the homeless people57.With the help of the government,the flood victims .A.were safe at higher placeB.got everything they neededC.lived comfortably in the relief centersD.were brought to Tulang within three hours58.The word “casualty”in the last sentence means .A.the house that is being builtB.the money that is given to the victimsC.the person killed or injured in an accidentD.the things lost in the floodBGlynis Davis:I first piled on the ponds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them 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 childr en’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate——my weakness.I’d like to be slim,but right now my duty is the children and home.I might take more exercise when my kids are older.59.What do you think the four women were all talking about?A.Their own slimming matter.B.Their life after marriage.C.Their work as a housewife.D.Different diets they prefer.60.Where are these short passage most likely to be taken from?A.Talks on the air.B.Advertisements on the well.C.Book in a library.D.Magazines for children.61.What does the underlined word “scales”possibly mean?A.The coach（教练）in the slimming club.B.Some tool to measure weight.C.Glynis Davis’dear husband.D.The salesperson in a food shop.62.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?1.Glynis Davis a.I put on weight soon after got married2.Ros Jums b.Fame（名声）doesn’t necessarily mean success3.Leslcy Gowin c.Facts speak much louder than words4.Ros landford d.I like myself as I am,and to be

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 police-car and had a bright idea.He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour.He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go.He looked back and saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him.After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car.Mr.Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber,but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr.Green’s back.The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted M r.Green’s name and address.Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said,“No,I want your name and address now.You will have to appear at the police court later.”So,Mr.Green gave the policeman his name and address.The policeman wro te it down,put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving.Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.He had given up all hope of his ￡50,but just as he reached the outskirts of London,the passenger said he wanted to get out here.Mr.Green stopped the car,the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift.You’ve been good to me.This is the least I can do in return.”And he handed Mr.Green the policeman’s notebook. While the policeman had talked to Mr.Green,the thief had stolen the notebook.72.What was Mr.Green worried about when he learned the man was an escaped robber?A.The ￡50 in his pocket book.B.His life.C.His car.D.His pocket book.73.Which of the following is true?A.Mr.Green wanted to be taken to the police station right away but the policeman refused him.B.The policeman asked Mr.Green to come to the police station right away.C.The policeman told Mr.Green that he would have to pay a fine.D.Mr.Green would not give his name and address but promised to appear at the police court later.74.What did the robber give Mr.Green when he got out of the car?A.The pistol he had put to the back of Mr.Green.B.Some money.C.Some money and the stolen notebook.D.The policeman’s notebook.75.Why did the robber steal the policeman’s notebook?A.He wanted to show he could do something other people could not do.B.He thought he should do something to save Mr.Green from trouble.C.He had no other purpose but playing a trick on the policeman.D.He meant to use the notebook to pay for the life.56~60 DBCAA 61~65 BABCA 66~70 CADDC 71~75 BAADB。

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 greetingB.embarrassed by the children’s behaviorC.afraid Nicholas would leave herD.having doubts about remarrying6.The text suggests that Sarah and Robert .A.made the situation difficult on

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。

高考英语二轮复习专题：阅读理解阅读理解真题检测(一) 2018年6月浙江高考AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century —most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally.The steam powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%.Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top？For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass.Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901；today a casual reader might be able to name a half dozen of them.It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life.It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress.But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center.No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

2018届高三下学期第二次统测英语试题 含答案
第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of usable to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.1. The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighborsB. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiencesD. after using an iPad to communicate2. The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. do as wellB. offer generouslyC. give in returnD. accept with pleasure3. The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfactionB. real kindnessC. heartfelt thanksD. sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2018. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sample:“I loved taking the time to just ‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It’s a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2018 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide. Join us and experience art differently.4. The author quotes Thoreau’s words at the beginning to.A. arouse readers’ interest in artB. introduce the topic of the textC. stress the importance of lookingD. illustrate the joy of art appreciation5. A typical slow art activity .A. lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB. encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC. organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD. inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own6. What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A. The year of 2018 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B. It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C. It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D. Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1,200 different places.7. According to the text, the author .A. has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB. strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC. sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD. is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsCGot big plans for Friday night? That’s OK, we don’t either.Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little m ore special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbr al lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8. According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?A. A blood moon.B. A total solar eclipse.C. A partial lunar eclipse.D. A comet without a tail.9. If you want to see Comet 45P, you will need to .A. wait around 7:44 p.m. ETB. stay up until 9:53 p.m. ETC. wake up before 3:00 a.m. ETD. start watching at 5:34 p.m. ET10. The author writes the text with the purpose of .A. introducing basic astronomy to the mediaB sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchersC promoting astronomical events among science scentsD informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A Comet 45P will be visible as it approaches the earthB Penumbral lunar eclipse will happen on Friday nightC. Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekendD. Eclipse, full moon, comet team up to put on a show on Friday nightDThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2018 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger (合并)agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2018, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.12. According to the text, in the Super Bowl .A. the New England Patriots have won nine timesB. the Pittsburgh Steelers have won six titlesC. Arabic numerals are used to refer to each gameD. winners of the last season play against each other13. On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually .A. buy expensive Super Bowl ticketsB. consume the most food of the yearC. avoid the Super Bowl commercialsD. enjoy performances by famous artists14.

明确说明文的读文、答题程序A(2018·原创题)The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched (草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildings—these are still common sights in parts of England.Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles(英伦诸岛)．Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings，it was once used for castles and churches too.Thatching is a solitary (独立的) craft，which often runs in families.The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages.Over 800 full－time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today，maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses.Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.In fact，if we look at developing countries，over half the world lives under thatch，but they all do it in different ways.People in developing countries are often reluctant to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings.However，they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials.Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months.Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years，and is an effective defense against the heat.语篇解读：本文是一篇社会文化类说明文。
2018届高三英语第二轮复习资料-----阅读理解
阅读理解第一节（共15小題；每小題2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从毎题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
一“Wash your hands!” How many times have you heard that from your parents? You might think they’re just complaining you, but actually the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if you don’t wash your hands often, you can pick up germs from other sources and then make yourself sick. You’re at risk ever y time you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. In fact, one of the most common ways people catch colds is by rubbing their noses or their eyes after the cold virus has gotten on their hands.If people don’t wash their hands frequently (especially when the y’re sick), they can spread germs directly to other people or onto surfaces that others touch. And before they know it, everyone around them is coming down with something!Think about all of the things that you touched today —from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose and played with your dog. Whatever you did, you came into contact with germs. So it’s easy for germs on your hand to end up in your mouth.By washing your hands often in the right way, you’ll wash away germs — such as bacteria and viruses that you have picked up from other people, through polluted water and food, or from animals and animal wastes.Do you know that 1 out of 5 people don’t wash their hands after using the restroom? Students don’t wash their hands ofte n or well. In one study, only 58% of female and 48% of male middle-school and high-school students washed their hands after using the bathroom.Remember, washing your hands often is the key to preventing the spread of many common illnesses.1. What can we learn from the text?A. Some parents are always annoying children.B. We will catch colds if we rub our noses often.C. If we can wash our hands often, we will never get sick.D. It is easy for us to catch colds if we get the cold virus on our hands.2. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means “ _________ “ .A. falling to the groundB. seeing you with giftsC. getting an illnessD. leaving you alone3. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _________ .A. no one can free from germsB. telephones are as dirty as toiletsC. blowing our nose is harmful to usD. we are living in danger due to germs4. According to the text, what should we do to prevent the spread of the virus?A. Keep away from germs.B. Wash hands oftenC. Don’t touch dirty things.D. Don’t keep dogs.二We try to be our best at work. We offer more hours than we are expected but this damages our family life. We spend time with people who we have nothing in common with, and attend social events we have no interest in, even though very often end up unhappy.In fact, most people think about themselves and their own problems 99% of the time, and scarcely give others a second thought. Even so, we live our lives to impress them instead of being ourselves. We spend money that we can’t afford, purchasing the latest fashions, the best car, or even a house which is not a home but a show-house, to impress our friends and neighbors.When what others think about us starts to control our life, it is time to change. There are times, of course, when it is wiser to consider our effect on other people, such as going for a job interview. It’s time to wake up and think about ourselves, and start creating a sustainable future based on our own likes and dislikes. We should find out other ways to get our self-worth by being a loving parent, a good friend or helping others when we can. This will give us far more happiness.Think about your own life now and see if you need to make any changes. Look at your family and your true friends, the way you use your time, and focus on your motivating force. Make more rational (理智的) life choices that will give you a better future for yourself and your family.1. According to the text, people work over time because ____________ .A. they want to gain more payment.B. they tried to make others satisfied.C. they have nothing else to do but work.D. their family expect them to do so.2. It is better to think specially in others’ shoes when you _______.A. go for a holidayB. hunt for a jobC. visit your friendD. attend a lecture3. We’re advised to change when we are __________ .A. trying to avoid being controlled by others in lifeB. preparing better for a job interviewC. reducing our effect on othersD. making ourselves understood4. The next is arranged in a form of __________ .A. problem --–analysis --- solutionB. general view--- secondary viewsC. result---reasonD. point---evidence三My 18-year-old son passed his driving test last year. But my responsibilities linked to this event for a year were not my favorite. As the mother and sole parent, I’m up for the challenges. However, I don’t care for the challenge of being a Driving Instructor. I feel I did a good job. I was fairly patient, not too nervous. I didn’t want to make my son nervous because I was!Many hours were spent with him in the driver’s seat. I couldn’t take my eye off the road around us, always assuming idiot drivers will make mistakes. Mostly he was good. Several times he expertly avoided near collisions, which were the fault of the other drivers. One day though, while driving through Tim Hortons, he drove up to the window but couldn’t reach it to collect his order. So he undid his seat belt and reached over, and I heard the car engine roar. As he reached over, his foot depressed the gas pedal to the floor. Thank goodness he had placed the gear in park. Thank goodness I had taught him to do this.Two weeks ago he drove on the highway to Oakville. I was nervous. It was Thanksgiving weekend with everyone on the highway. I told him to slow down or stop a thousand times. “Mum, relax, you such a back seat driver.” he said. We made it there but he hasn’t driven much with me since. He told me he was n’t going to as I criticized him too much when he’s driving. This reminded me of the days when his dad was my passenger in the car. He would stretch his feet out to the imaginary pedals and grab the dash board like I was flying an airplane. How did that help me? It didn’t. It made me nervous and I stopped driving if he was in the car.I wonder how you stop being the driving instructor after being it for a year, especially now my 16-year-old daughter is starting to learn with me in the passenger seat. Lord help me please!1 . Which words can be used to describe the author?A. Kind and creative.B. Brave and caring.C. Stubborn but careful.D. Clever and hardworking.2. How did the author like her work as a driving instructor for a year?A. Worthy.B. BoringC. Interesting.D. Unsatisfactory.3. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _________.A. the author’s skilled drivingB. the author’s worry about her sonC. the author’s feeling about her son’s drivingD. the author’s success as a back seat passenger4. Why did the author mention her husband in Paragraph 3?A. To show she is a good driver.B. To show she is disappointed with her son.C. To show her husband is different from her son.D. To show the passenger’s reaction doesn’t help in the driver’s driving.四To control the nation’s growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean government has started a unique initiative (倡议) ----“Pay as You Trash”. According to the initiative, the South Korean government has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card –when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user's account. The user needs to settle this bill every month.The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around 190 won (less than $1). There's also a bar code management system in place, in which residents throw food waste directly into dustbins and pay for it by purchasing bar code stickers attached to the bin.Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste---the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of excessive waste. The more food they toss out, the more they end up paying.Thanks to the initiative, residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting creative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to strain all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to use as much as the edible parts aspossible,1. Why does the South Korean government decide to launch the initiative?A. People are complaining about food waste.B. More and more food wastes are produced.C. Food waste is worsening the government.D. People have little knowledge of saving food.2. The underlined word “pinch” in Paragraph3 means “______________” .A. joyB. amountC. painD. cause3. Before the initiative was launched, the residents ___________ .A. didn’t pay for their food wasteB. paid for their food waste by weightC. had to pay for their food garbage bagsD. paid for food waste equally in their blocks4. According to the text, the initiative “Pay as You Trash” _________ .A. is working effectivelyB. was thought to be unfair at firstC. is quite expensive to carry outD. is being attempted in some areas五When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．"Storm chasing (追逐)"is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the dayby checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm– chasing vacations during the storm season．Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．"Storm chasing is 95％driving,"says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．"Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley．"Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth."1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____.A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer3. By saying " it is all worth it " in the last paragraph,the author means that _____.A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth4. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment．B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms．C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world．D.

Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty.They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.1. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.2. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C.

Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________ .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary4. what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD. People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.八Known as “The Man with the Golden Arm,” nearly every week for the past 60 years, James Harrison has donated blood plasma(血浆) from his right arm. The reasons can date back to a serious medical procedure.“When I was 14, I had a chest operation,” recalls Harrison, who is now aged 78. “My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people. So I said when I’m old enough, I’ll become a blood donor.”Soon after Harrison became a donor, doctors called him in. His blood, they said, could be the answer to a deadly problem.“In Australia, up until about 1967, there were about thousands of babies dying each year because of the rhesus disease (恒河猴症).” explains Jemma Falkenmire, of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.Harrison was discovered to have an unusual antibody (抗体) in his blood and in the 1960s he worked with doctors to use the antibodies to develop an injection (注射剂) called Anti-D which can prevent this disease.Harrison’s blood is precious. Every batch of Anti-D that has ever been made in Australia has come from Harrison’s blood. He and Anti-D are credited with saving the lives of more than 2 million babies, according to the Austral ian Red Cross blood service: That’s 2 million lives saved by one man’s blood.Harrison is considered a national hero, and has won numerous awards. He has now donated his plasma more than 1,000 times, but no matter how many times he’s given blood there’s on e thing that will never change: “I look at the ceiling or the nurses, maybe talk to them a bit, but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I can’t stand the sight of blood, and I can’t stand pain.” he says.1. What was the main reason for Harri son’s becoming a blood donor？A. He has a golden arm.B. He has precious blood plasma.C. His father encouraged him to help others.D. Donated blood once made him survive.2. Why is James’ blood more precious?A. James has the Anti-D in his blood.B. His blood is more useful in treating the rhesus disease.C. James’ blood is the main source of Anti-D in Australia.D. James has donated more plasma than other donators.3. How does Harrison feel when donating his plasma?A. Nervous.B. Relaxed.C. AnxiousD. Excited.九In this day and age, it may seem like getting two people with different views together to discuss them is a recipe for disaster. Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completely opposing views. Could it bringyou closer together?However, the Human Library Organization is counting on it.At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books” and make their experiences open and available. “Readers” are encouraged to ask them questions freely, and they’ll get honest answers in return. There’s no judgment, and no questions are off-limits.You won’t find unpleasant comments, and you won’t lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend!“The human “books” consist of people who have been discriminated by society.” said Ronni Abergel, the Human Library Organization’s founder, who has set out to build a space for conversati ons that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another,” she said.Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more that unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan, you can tell that is a shared feeling.“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety, but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community,” said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. It’s going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”1. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Heated discussions are often carried out among people.B. Open dialogue can’t always lead to close relation.C. People with opposing views are not honest enough.D. We tend to have open dialogues with people around us.2. What will readers get at a Human Library?A. A fair judgment.B. Unpleasant comments.C. An available experience.D. Regaining confidence.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning?A. Accelerate.B. Substitute.C. Succeed.D. Start.4. What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety?A. Strengthen bonds between people.B. Join other groups in the community.C. Pull down walls between communities.D. Spend less money on homeland security.十A guiding principle for master cellist Yo-Yo Ma is that “the intersection (交汇) of cultures is where new things appear.” Certainly his biography is an intersection of cultures. He was born to Chinese parents in Paris, France; both his parents were musicians. When he was seven, his family moved to the United States. Gifted for his age, Ma attended Juilliard, the world famous music institute. He then chose to earn a liberal arts degree at Harvard rather than focusing only on music.Even in his earliest performing years, Yo-Yo Ma had a strong belief that it was important to share music with all kinds of people. Stories are told about how he once performed in the hallway of a large building for people who were unable to get tickets to his concert. He remained interested in making music accessible to diverse audiences and furthered his interest in different cultures when he visited the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He developed a vehicle to further these ideals when he founded the Silk Road Project.As he has said, the Silk Road is a metaphor(隐喻) for a number of things: as the Internet of ancient times, the routes were used for trade, by religious people, adventurers, scientists, storytellers. Everything from algebra to Islam moved along the Silk Road. It’s the local-global thing. In the cultural world, you want to make sure that voices don’t get lost, that rich traditions continue to live, without becoming common.This lesson explores the philosophy behind Yo-Yo Ma’s founding of the Silk Road Ensemble (乐团), his belief that the arts, and particularly music, can make the world better, and that through cooperation, one can both preserve tradition and shape cultural evolution. Students also explore their own attitudes toward the arts, writing reflective essays on how the arts have played a role in their own lives.1.What do we learn about Yo-Yo Ma according to Paragraph 1?A. He studied music in FranceB. He started his career in HarvardC. He showed great musical talentD. He earned a liberal arts degree in Julliard2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vehicle” in Paragraph 2?A. CarB. MediumC. SkillD. Project3. What does Yo-Yo Ma think of the Silk Road?A. The route is key to musical developmentB. It has significant influence on the worldC. It simply helps with the spread of religionsD. Traditions are passed on through the route4.Why did Yo-Yo Ma found the Silk Road Ensemble?A. To foster cooperation in businessB. To record the voices along the routeC. To explore people’s attitude toward the artsD. To share music and promote cultural development十一If you need to spend time on the road, it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet.Don’t suppose it’s your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital.Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits（数字）, stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe, especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don't suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue a ticket if you don't give drivers enough time to brake.Cross quickly. Once you've followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don't then just wander along in front of six lanes（车道）of traffic. There's no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.21. Who is the text intended for?A. Drivers.B. Cyclists.C. Police.D. Pedestrians.22. Which of the following can best replace the word “distracted” in Paragraph 2?A. Considerate.B. Strange.C. Kind-hearted.D. Absent-minded.23. In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?A. Racing against time with drivers.B. Following crosswalk signals.C. Crossing the crosswalk area.D. Walking outside six lanes.24. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Rules for Traffic PoliceB. Tips to Keep Safe on Your FeetC. Things Every Driver Should KnowD. Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers十二At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward, we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and "make ends meet". Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of student allowance.When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us "You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it's almost embarrassing to see her tight "financial policy", and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.1. What did the author learn from her parents?A. How to become a banker.B. Where to open a savings account.C. Where to choose a money box.D. How to make ends meet.2. How did the author manage the student allowance?A. He applied for a credit card.B. He spent it three times a year.C. He put it in the bank.D. He seldom withdrew it.3. What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”?A. Reducing her savings.B. Buying things on sales.C. Canceling holiday plans.D. Borrowing money from banks.4. What’s the text mainly about?A. Parents’ money problems.B. Students’ school education.。
