Inside their one-store, metal-roofed house on Vancouver Island’s west coast，Janet Schwartz and her domesticated(驯养的) deer, Bimbo, are returning to their normal lives. The law-represented by men and women dressed in black uniforms and carrying guns — is no longer threatening to forcibly separate Schwartz and Bimbo，freeing the l0-year-old deer to the fates (命运) of the surrounding rainforest and its hungry wolves and bl ack bears．“We love each other，”said Schwartz who turned 70 on Sat urday. “she’ll come up to me and she’ll kiss me right on the lip s，like a man kisses a woman’’For four days last week，Schwartz’ life turned as rocky as the rough logging road that c onnected her life to the outside world. Conservation officers h ad arrived with orders to loose Bimbo. Schwartz was told shewasn’t allowed to touch Bimbo any more. It seemed somebod y had complained，said Environment Minister Terry Lake earlier in the week, noti ng it’s illegal to keep wild animals as pets.During those tense days，sleepless nights were made even more restless by nightmare s，said Schwartz. There were news stories and Facebook pages which supported Schwartz and by Friday，the government had changed its mind. Schwartz could keep h er pet with the help of a veterinarian and conservation officers .“It makes me feel good，”said Schwartz of the announceme nt．“She is my life．and I’ve had her since the day she’s bee n born.”The relationship began when a friend found the orphaned fa wn (幼鹿) along a nearby logging road，more than a kilometer away from her current home，said Schwartz. The friend brought the fawn over because she knew Schwartz had raised a deer before.Schwartz named the fawn(小鹿) Bimbo，based on a Gene Autry song that was playing inside her hom e at the time，and began feeding the animal goat’s milk. Days turned into m onths and years, and now Bimbo is a part of the family.1. According to Paragraph 1 , Janet Schwartz’s life is returning to normal becauseA. no one disturbs her life againB. she can continue to keep the deerC. she has married againD. Bimbo has returned to the forest2. Why didn’t Schwartz want to loose the deer?A. It was the only companion in her houseB. She wanted t o study the lifestyle of the deer．C. The deer had become part of her life．D. She had a ve terinarian to help her．3. Conservation officers ordered Janet to loose Bimbo becauseA. the deer was not properly taken care ofB. the deer brought harm to the neighborhoodC. it was against the law to keep the deer as a petD. the deer made too much noise4. What made the government change its mind?A. Schwartz’s love for the deer.B. The threat to the deerin the wild.C. The change of the law.D.

Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a q uick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What s he saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the rest aurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appeara nce, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to w ear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Jane lle felt it was important to set an example for the other employ ees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern t o her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low he at. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she conti nued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logic al answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the colla r and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenl y seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have tak en to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift d ealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my o wn hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wi sdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad us ed to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying o ut a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.”There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work. 1．Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.A．there were stains on her blouseB．her blouse was wrinkledC．she wore heavy makeupD．she put on a wrong blouse2．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________. A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily wo rkC．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at allD．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appear ance3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.B．We are careful enough in daily life.C．We all have done something creative.D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing the m.4．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the las t paragraph ?A．Be creative.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校阅读理解提分特训(一)A【说理议论类】Do you feel lucky? You probably don’t.You may think you’ve got where you are today through willpower and hard work.We tend to overlook luck’s role,and this seems to get worse the richer we get;surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune.Many such people oppose taxation(税收) and government spending:why should others get a handout(救济品) if they don’t need one? More often than not,they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with.In a recent Atlantic essay,Robert Frank,an economist who has studied attitudes to chance,quoted(引用)E.B.White:“Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”However,if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people,we may let the rest of us off too easily.Anyone living in a highly developed economy in the world is already the one who benefits from luck—for example,not living in the modern-day Central African Republic,where few people can live a long life.In fact,we are lucky to have been born human.You might have been a battery hen,or a mayfly with only one day to live.Our blindness to such truths isn’t only because we’re self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are eas ier to call to mind.It’s not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed:struggling through university finals,preparing for job interviews,tolerating a long-distance travel to work.On the other hand,it’s rather difficult to realize you’re privileged—like not being born in a war zone,or before antibiotics(抗生素),and so forth.1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A.Self-made men don’t like to be talked about.B.Successful people owe their achievements to luck.C.Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.D.Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.2.According to the author,you are fortunate if you are not .A.struggling through university finalsB.preparing for interviewsC.tolerating a long-distance travelD.living in a war zone3.We can learn from the passage that .A.few people in Africa are luckyB.each of us is actually privilegedC.people value the importance of luckD.people succeed because of luck4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Luck Is A BlessingB.We Are LuckyC.How To Be LuckyD.Who Is Lucky语篇解读:很多成功人士会把自己的成功归功于毅力和付出,而往往忽视运气的成份,而事实上,我们每个人还是很幸运的。

Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, NobelPrize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side hasdifferent work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number andit analyses and reasons. 36 It controls our appreciation of music and our senseof rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, ascientist and an inventor! 37 When he invented machines he used both hisimaginative ability and his analytical ability.38 Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed,Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than fromanalysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not importantin his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer’s day whilesitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distanceof the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized thatthe universe must curve（弯曲）.39 He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason.And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools thanimagination and daydreaming. Why don’t we give more value to visual thinking? Whyjump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs!40 We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and toenjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyzeand organize in order to survive day by day.A. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space.B. Great scientists and great artists are similar.C. We all need both sides of our brain.D. He got this idea by using his imagination.E. We benefit by thinking creatively.F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.G. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.七选五36—40、AFBDC阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）[1]Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success...Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason.[2]It's true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own, which may make them feel upset. Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following three simple steps.[3]Firstly, you have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus on one thing at a time. If you're not sure about where you want to go, you'd better think it over first and not hurry to perform.[4]Secondly, create an action plan. This will be your map for getting from "____________________" to "where you want to go". You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you want a better job, start with a skills assessment and maybe some extra training. Then you'll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new employer.[5]Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there. Not to worry, though, books, biographies and such, can be of great help.[6]The third and final step is to execute. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into somepeople who are against you, simply ignore them.[7]Never give up the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do, do not lose heart untilyou have what you desire in your hands. Never think that you can't turn your dream into a reality.76.What does the author want to tell readers in this article?(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________________ ______plete the following statement with proper words.(No more than 4 words)No matter what you do, ______________________before you succeed.78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.

2016四川省南充市高考英语二轮：说理议论阅读理解基础练习（2）及答案说理议论（阅读理解）由(2011陕西,D)改编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 (潜力) of any crop.In fact,studies show that the most widely grown GM crop,GM soybeans,has suffered reduced productivity.For instance,a report that analysed 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 Christison,President of the US National Family 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.1.The author develops the second paragraph mainly .A.by classificationB.by comparisonC.by exampleD.by process2.What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?()A.Control.B.Evaluate.C.Obtain.D.Increase.3.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from .A.practising “green” fa rminge of less chemicalsC.fair distribution of their cropsing more crops for fuel4.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?()A.Optimistic.B.Defensive.C.Disapproving.D.Casual.语篇解读:本文为议论文。

2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语广东省佛山市质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people' s interactions with one another to determine who holds yummi er treats, according to a new study. This study joins others tha t show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feeli ngs. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from peo ple's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions w ith one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for som e of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he as ked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enth usiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to t he other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gro ss (in Spanish; the study was conducted in ). After these inter actions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the d og go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the do gs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman wit h the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. The y prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned to ward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the human s around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table an d had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially app roach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch fo r the interaction between two people, not just how a person re acts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to wit h a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in t he journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C.

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Seaisland. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.17. How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?A. They resemble human friends exactly.B. They are unfamiliar types we like.C. They never desert us.D. They never hurt our feelings.18. Which of the following is true?A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colourful life.D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books.19. The word “weary” means ______.A. “to attract someone’s attention”B. “to distract someone’s attention”C. “to make someone very tired”D. “to make someone interested”20. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____________.A. in books the world is more accessible to usB. we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC. we can make a claim to everything in this worldD. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge(D)本书主要讲读好书的益处。

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。

Five Olympic mascots were announcedexactly 1000 days before the Beijing Olympicopening ceremony. The long--anticipatedmascots represent four of China's mostpopular animals —the fish, the panda, theTibetan antelope and the swallow .The fifthmascot is the brightly burning Olympic flame.Each of the mascots has a repeated two-syllable name. This type of name is a traditional way of showing affection for children in China. BeiBei is the fish, JingJing is the panda, HuanHuan is the Olympic flame, YingYing is the Tibetan antelope and NiNi is the swallow. The first characters of their two-syllable names read “Beijing Huanying Ni,” or, in English, “Welcome to Beijing.”The five elements of nature, including the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky are found in the mascot's origins and headpieces. These special headpieces also display the folk and culture of China.

Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team explained that, “China has such a rich culture that no single mascot could possibly represent it! That is why we chose to produce five mascots instead of one.”Called the “Five Friendlies,” the figures embody（体现）the Chinese people’s hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics, representing not only multi-ethnic(多民族的) cultures of China, but also the traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature.In order to help Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Friendlies reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games — and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the greatcelebration of human union in 2008.16. What’s the theme of Beijing 2008 Olympics?A.Welcome to Beijing.B.Prosperity, Happiness, Passion, Health and Good luck.C.New Beijing, New Olympics.D.One World, One Dream.17. What did Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team, think of the five mascots?A.He thought highly of the five mascots.B.No single mascot could represent China.C.The five mascots represented the culture of China.D.They would reflect the desire of Chinese people.18. Which of the following statements is not true?A.It’s for the first time that five mascots are chosen to represent their host country in theOlympic history.B.One of the five mascots YingYing stands for the Olympic flame.C.Beijing announced its five 2008 Olympic mascots just 1000 days before the big event.D.The five mascots express affection for Chinese children by two-syllable names.19. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?A.The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008.B.The theme of 2008 Beijing Olympics — One World, One Dream.C.The significance of five 2008 Olympic mascots — the Five Friendlies.D.How the Five Fantastic Mascots came into being.20. What do the five mascots — the Five Friendlies represent?A.“Beijing Huanying Ni,” or, in English, “Welcome to Beijing.”B.Chinese multi-ethnic cultures, philosophy of harmony between humans and nature and fiveelements of nature.C.Chinese people’s hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics.D.The deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through theOlympics.[全解全析]本文主要讲述了北京2008年奥运会吉祥物的内在含义。

重庆市北碚区2016高考英语二轮：阅读理解选练（2）答案2016高考英语阅读理解--历史类Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."【小题1】This passage is mainly about ________.A．different kinds of tipping in different countriesB．the relationship between tipping and customC．the origin and present meaning of tippingD．most American people hate tipping【小题2】Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A．become popular. B．been hated.C．been stopped. D．been permitted【小题3】Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A．A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B．An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C．A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D．A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.【小题4】We can infer from this passage that ________.A．tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB．tipping is especially popular in New YorkC．tipping in America can make service better nowD．tipping has something to do with people's character2016高考英语阅读理解--历史类Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent b athing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided , and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During theVictorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential to good health.【小题1】A water system for baths was built by _______ over 3,000 years ago.A．the Romans B．the GreeksC．the Americans D．the Europeans【小题2】Dirty bodies can_______.A．ruin one’s business B．cause diseaseC．drive customers away D．cause good health【小题3】In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was_______.

高考英语二轮练习：写人记事阅读理解解析答案

浙江省2016高考英语二轮练习：写人记事阅读理解（1）解析答案写人记事（阅读理解）由(2012广东,C)改编I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.1.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought .A.she might be recognizedB.asking for help looked sillyC.she was normal and independentD.being found blind was embarrassing2.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she .A.began to runB.hit a person as usualC.hit a lamppost by accidentD.was caught by something3.At the request stop that evening, the girlA.stopped a big lorryB.stopped the wrong busC.made no attempt to stop the busD.was not noticed by other people4.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?()A.Other vehicles also stopped there.B.It was unreliable for making judgments.C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.5.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping .A.to find people thereB.to find more buses thereC.to find the bus by herself thereD.to find people more helpful there语篇解读:本文为记叙文。

浙江温州市2016高考英语二轮：阅读理解系列（2）答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.The most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increase s in the President’s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.1.The focus of the President’s program is on[A] investment.economy.[C] technology.[D] tax.2.What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?[A] They want a more direct action.They want an incomes policy to check inflation.[C] They want to rebuild industry.[D] They want a wall of protective tariffs.3.What is the editor’s attitude?[A] support.distaste.[C] Disapproval.[D] Compromise.4.The danger to the plan lies in[A] the two parties’ objection.different idea of the two parties about the plan.[C] its passage.[D] distortion.5.The passage is[A] a review.a preface.[C] a advertisement.[D] an editorial.Vocabulary1.reverse 逆转2.slide 滑坡3.plague 瘟疫；折磨，困扰4.tariff 关税5.decry 谴责，诋毁6.lever 杠杆；用杠杆撬动7.crux 症结8.ideologue 空想家，思想家9.intact 原封不动的，完整无损的10.investment credit 投资信贷11.research grant 研究基金难句译注1.This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.【参考译文】这对扭转经济滑坡；滑到失业高，增长少和已经困扰经济达6年之久贸易赤字来说是必要的。

广东化州县2016高考英语二轮：社会现象类阅读理解选练(1)及答案

广东化州县2016高考英语二轮：社会现象类阅读理解选练（1）及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--社会现象类Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls’ sport，yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport．Actually，competitive cheerleading is a sport．A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent，governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared，and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants．"Because cheerleading follows these guidelines，it is a sport．Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities．Like gymnasts,cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滚) ．They perform lifts and tosses．This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air，heldby ”bases” in different positions that require strength and c ooperation with other teammates．Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play，so does competitive cheerleading．The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area．Competitive cheerleaders’ goal is to be the best．Just like gymnasts，they are awarded points for difficulty，creativity and sharpness．The more difficult a mount，the sharper the motions，the better the score．Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation,first place is out of reach．Cheerleading is the number—one cause of serious sports injuries to women．Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport,partially because they do not wear protective gear．While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets，smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates．The fliersmust remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely．Also，because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools,neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety．Instead，the girls use whatever space is available．More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries．So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport？Some people argue that cheerleaders are just ”flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd，but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes．Hopefully,cheerleading will become as well—known a sport as football and basketball，and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports．【小题1】What does the underlined word "bases" in Paragraph 3 refer to？A．Strength and cooperationB．Lifts and tossesC．Supporting teammatesD．Physical activities【小题2】Gymnasts are mentioned in the passage to _________ A．explain the dangers of cheerleadingB．show their similarities with cheerleadersC．suggest cheerleaders learn to do gymnasticsD．present the guidelines of gymnastic movements【小题3】It can be leamed from the passage that cheerleading _________ A．is a good sport for all peopleB．lacks necessary guidelines to followC．is more than a form of entertainmentD．enjoys greater popularity than other sports【小题4】This passage is written mainly to _________A．attract more girls to cheerleadingB．draw people’s attention to cheerleadingC．call for more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport D．criticize some Americans who do not think cheerleading as a
