二轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby. She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, "The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a win-win situation all around."They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy, have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex, some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.George C Ball Jr. owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40%, over last year, double the average growth of last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking rise in the cost on food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase of higher oil price. People are driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.（1）What does the word "residents" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. chickensB. tomatoesC. gardensD. people（2）Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A. More Americans are doing it for fun.B. The price of oil is lower than before.C. There's a growing need for fruits.D. The cost of living is on the rise.（3）Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food PlanningB. Banking on GardeningC. A Belt-tightening MoveD. Gardening as a Hobby【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，越来越多的美国人在自家花园里种菜，分析出现这一现象的原因是由于生活成本的上升和经济的下降，人们不得不自己种菜以降低生活成本。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校浙江2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）选练（2）阅读理解Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱) . For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name- calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non- threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutualsolution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 per cent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students dea l with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.1. This article is mainly about .A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts2. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that .A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight3. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.4. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that .A. there was decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher- student relationship greatly improved5. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to.A. complain about problems in school educationB. teach students different strategies for school lifeC. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence【参考答案】41.DBCAC阅读理解Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem.I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the proc ess that the suggestion to ” follow your passion" was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. However, it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.Passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly ‘‘valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.Passion is dangerous. I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hoppirig due to the ‘‘follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison.Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you're seeking a dream job, you'll end up frustrated, again and again. Don't set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.67. People satisfied with their careers are _______.A. autonomous and passionateB. creative and competentC. respectable and sensitiveD. creative and passionate68. What is the author's advice on achieving career satisfaction?A. Developing passion for what one is doing.B. Matching the pre-existing passion to one's work.C. Figuring out early what one will do in the future.D. Discovering skills that lead to interesting careers.69. The underlined sentence in Para. 5 probably means that _______.A. it is not easy to match our passion with our jobsB. we shouldn't think everyone has a pre-existing passionC. high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointmentD. workplace happiness does not require a pre-existing passion70. What's the author's attitude towards the advice of “following your passion”？A. Ambiguous.B. Supportive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.【参考答案】1. 67-70 BACD高考英语单项选择考前精讲精练（答案）单项填空题解题策略纵观近几年的高考单项填空题，我们可以发现单项填空题的内容越来越贴近学生的日常生活，语言更加灵活，考点较为明确，淡化了对语法知识机械记忆的考查，强调语言的交际功能。

阅读理解细节理解题专练(一)(题干加黑为细节理解题)A(2021·大连市高三双基测试) A new “health〞trend in Hong Kong sees women staring straight at the sun in the belief that it will replace their need for food and even improve their vision and sleep quality, reports Oriental Daily.The women reportedly head to the Sam Ka Village beach every evening and take off their shoes before setting their phone timers and stand to stare at the sunset —some using an umbrella to protect their skin.The concept of “sun eating〞is about consuming the sun's solar energy instead of food and they believe by doing so it can reduce the body's needs.Some of the women choose to wear pinhole glasses to limit the UV rays getting to their eyes and causing permanent damage.Some of the sungazers (凝视太阳者) stress they are doing it for health reasons, not weight loss. “We practice sungazing as a substitute for eating. Some of us who have finished the practice now eat less, and others don't have to eat at all，〞one woman said. She said they start by lookingat the sun for up to 10 seconds on the first day, adding 10 seconds every day until they reach 44 minutes by the ninth month of practice.Hou XiangJun, a skin specialist, is concerned about the rising trend, saying high UV degree and water reflection is lea ding to far too much UV light absorption. “Even if painted with sunscreen (防晒霜) they can only stop five to six percent of the damage, an umbrella or a cap can only take 10－20 percent and long exposure will increase the risk of serious skin cancer，〞she said. Eye experts are also concerned that it will cause some eye diseases.1．Some women in Hong Kong become “sungazers〞because they believe it can make them ________.A．prettier B．eat lessC．sleep longer D．use phones less2．Which of the following statements about “sungazers〞is TRUE according to the passageA．They have no protection against the sun.B．Some have suffered from serious skin cancer.C．They have convinced the experts of the benefits.D．Some stop eating after practicing for some time.3．If a woman wants to look at the sun for 5 minutes, howmany days does she have to practiceA．10 days. B．30 days.C．50 days. D．150 days.4．Which section of the newspaper does the passage probably come fromA．Science. B．Advertisement.C．Health. D．Sports.B(2021·长春市普通高中高三质量监测一)There's a “culture of walking and texting〞on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that's not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane〞on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.According to Bambrough, it's first and foremost a design project —the texting lane was a tongueincheek (戏谑) reference to the collegewide epidemic (流行) of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.“You have 18－24yearolds walking down the hall with smart phones. You're almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it's something we're dealing with in this day andage，〞Bambrough said. “But preventing c ollisions isn't the reason we did it — we did it to arouse the students' attention. It's meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.〞Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren't humanonhuman; rather, it's generally humanoninanimateobject. “They walk into barriers —chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings，〞Poffenberger said, “I'm sure they're fairly embarrassed.〞5．What do we learn about the “texting lane〞from the textA．It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B．It is used to encourage the campus culture.C．It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D．It is popular with students in universities.6.According to Bambrough, ________.A．the “texting lane〞is to attract students' attention B．we don't have to face the problem in this ageC．what they did is to prevent the collisionsD．students enjoy looking at each other7．How do students feel about texting and walkingA．They are worried.

The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly.

The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it.

高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyon's edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 'got it – done', barely even glancing at the magnificent sc ene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized on their computers.（1）Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits. B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.（2）What can we learn from Henkel's study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve people's memories.（3）The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “________”.A. the cameraB. technologyC. the eventD. an object（4）What is the article mainly about?A. People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one's memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，人们都有拍照的喜好，拍照有助于我们记忆。

Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3.

Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away fromthe boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for themto follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the mid st of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.( ) 1.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解（1）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。

(The Importance of Independent Thinking)No one can be a great thinker who does not realize that as a thinker it is her first duty to follow her intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. No that it is solely, of chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is required. One the contrary, it is as much or even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. There have been and many again be great individual thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been, nor ever will be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people. Where any of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended, where there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed: where the discussion of the greatest questions which can occupy humanity is considered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that generally high scale of mental activity which has made some periods of history so remarkable. Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of a people stirred up fro9m its foundation and the impulse given which raised even persons of the most ordinary intellect to something of the dignity of thinking beings.She who knows only her own side of the case knows little of that. Her reasons may be food, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if she s equally unable to refute the reasons of the opposite side; if she does not so much as know what they are, she has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for her would be suspension of judgment, and unless she contents herself with that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world the side to which she feels the most inclination. Nor is it enough that she should heat the arguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations, That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with her own mind. She must be able to hear them form persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. She must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; she must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of; else she will never really possess herself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty. Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated persons are in this condition; even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions. Their conclusion may be true, but it mightbe false for anything they know; they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently form them and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves profess.1.The best title for this passage is[A] The Age of Reason The need for Independent Thinking[C] The Value of Reason [D] Stirring People’s Minds2.According to the author, it is always advisable to[A] have opinions which cannot be refuted.adopt the point of view to which one feels the most inclination. [C] be acquainted with the arguments favoring the point of view with which one disagrees,[D] suspend heterodox speculation in favor of doctrinaire approaches.3.According to the author, in a great period such as the Renaissance we may expect to find[A] acceptance of truth controversy over principles[C] inordinate enthusiasm [D] a dread of heterodox speculation 4.According to the author, the person who holds orthodox beliefs without examination may be described in all of the following ways EXCEPT as [A] enslaved by tradition less than fully rational[C] determinded on controversy [D] having a closed mind5.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements[A] A truly great thinker makes no mistakes.Periods of intellectual achievement are periods of unorthodox reflection, [C] The refutation of accepted ideas can best be provided by one’s own teachers.[D] excessive controversy prevents clear thinking,Vocabulary1. stature 高度，境界，状况2. heterodox 不合乎公认的的，异端的，异教的3. tacit 心照不宣4. refute 反驳5. adversary 对立面，对手，敌人6. plausible 善于花言巧语的/辞令的，似乎有理的/有可能的7. doctrine 教义，学说8. profess 表示，明言，承认，自称，信奉难句译注1. True gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, then by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. [参考译文] 真理甚至从一个经过恰当研究和准备进行思考的人的错误中获得更多的东西，而从那些只是因为不予思考却持有正确的观点中获得的少（一种经过恰当的研究和准备进行思考的人犯的错误，另一种人是不予思考的却持有正确的观点，真理从前者错误中获得的东西比从后者的正确观点中获得的要多）。

高三英语二轮复习课时训练（二）一、阅读理解：ALike people，plants experience stress.And also，like people，the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions，such as drought，flood，heat and other stresses，affect yields(产量) more than crop pests and diseases.We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields，said Stephen Howell，a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell.Under normal conditions，these proteins are folded into their normal，healthy structures as they are produced.When a plant is under stress，its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins.Then a builtin system senses this and “sets off an alarm in the cell，” said Howell.In response to the alarm，another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out，responses that are activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants，” said Howell.“This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild，this response is a help for survival，he said.In production of agriculture crops，however，this response reduces yields.“You don't want crop plants to stop growing，” Howell said.“You wantthem to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response，the next step may be to silence the alarm system，said Howell.“What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses.That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”1．According to the text，an alarm in the plant cells is caused by ．A．the folded proteinsB．the changed proteinsC．the defensive measuresD．the stress response genes2．The energy preserved in the plants under stress conditions ．A．helps the plants to surviveB．helps to maintain high yieldsC．keeps the plants growingD．helps to produce proteins3．The underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “ ”．A．prevent B．startC.continue D．promote4．How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy.B．By making crop plants stop growing.C．By making the alarm system stop working.D．By making the alarm system respond quickly.BAs the world’s urban population gets bigger, cities are struggling to provide the basic services that their residents need. One of the most pressing problems is public transport. Take a look at the crisis facing the city of London. At no time in history has there been such a mass migration of people from countryside to city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities—twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty, and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad in the next century, unless we find solutions soon.London is a good example of the problems facing many major urban centers. It was the world’s first megacity—the first with a population of a million people. Its expansion was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which , among other things, powered the world’s first underground railway.Today, London has one of the world’s most extensive transport systems. But, because it was the first city to build a railway network, much of the infrastructure—the trains and buses, the tracks and tunnels—is now hopelessly out-of-date, and needs urgent modernization.London’s future success depends very much on transport. The city lies at the heart of Britain’s road and rail networks and problems in London can rapidly affect other areas of the country. On an average morning, overground trains bring passengers to stations on the outskirts of the city, and they then continue their journeys by underground, bus or taxi.5. More than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities in years.A. 30B. 23C. 17D. 20076. With the development of society is becoming one of the most serious problems of cities.A. poor housingB. povertyC. unemploymentD. public transport7. The underlined word “megacity” in paragraph two means .A. a city with a population of a million people.B. a city with the problem of public transport.C. a city with a lot of car factories.D. a city with much pollution.8. The railway network of London is .A. very helpfulB. in good useC. behind the timesD. first-class9.

Go to buy yourself a ticket to Sweeney Todd tomorrow. It'll change your life，’” Elder said. Elder never got the man's name—just $200 and a photo.Elder had never seen Sweeney Todd, so he bought “a great seat”. Starring in that production was the legendary Patti LuPone. “That did not seem real. Patti LuPone... she seemed like a person you read about in a book or heard about somewhere, but not someone you saw perform，” Elder said.He th en tried his best to earn a place on the stage. LuPone is now his costar in the hit musical Company—a turning point of fate that goes back to the stranger who gave him the means to watch one of Broadway's biggest productions. “It takes that kind of generosity to show you what generosity can be, to turn around and do it again，” Elder said.Giving back is now a big part of his life. Once a month, he and his 4yearold son pay for a stranger's meal at their local diner. Recently, he has started giving away free tickets to his show through social media.After every performance, Elder takes a picture with the strangers he buys tickets for and hangs the photos in his dressing room. “I hope that it awakens something in them, just like it did in me，” he said. “What I hope happens is that these people are shown some sort of sincere kindness from a stranger and hopefully in turn go out and do something kind for somebody who they don't know.”4．How did Elder feel when he saw Patti LuPone perform?A．Moved and grateful.B．Inspired but worried.C．Curious but doubtful.D．Surprised and excited.5．What did Elder do after seeing Sweeney Todd?A．He took Patti LuPone as his teacher.B．He tried to contact the stranger.C．He trained hard to become an actor.D．He created Company with Patti LuPone.6．Why does Elder give free tickets to those strangers?A．To get personal popularity.B．To take photos with them.C．To inspire them to do good deeds.D．To help them know more about his show.7．What is the best title for the text?A．An Act of Kindness Goes FarB．Hard Work Always Pays OffC．Luck Falls in an Unexpected WayD．A Good Play Can Change Your LifeCSherry Gao is pouring coffee made from singleorigin beans, hoping that her Mandarin Coffee Stand in the city of Pasadenawill, California introduces you to your new favorite coffee and turns your preconceptions about Chinese coffee beans upside down.Much of the Western world imports its coffee from Africa and South America. But Gao hopes that throwing light on Yunnansourced coffee could expose customers to the coffeeproducing region and help to break down prejudice against the beans, which for decades, until only a few years ago, were primarily used for instant products.“We wanted to highlight Chinese coffee because a lot of people nev er had Chinese coffee before，” Gao said. “Some have the mindset that it's bad or it's cheap, but that's not the case anymore. It's been changing so much over the last decade.”Recent experimentation with processing, such as the addition of fruit or sugarcane molasses during the production, is leading Yunnan's coffee to more flavorful results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one，” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3，000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in small quantities, with an uptick in the 1980s with government involvement. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international corporations investing in the region's crops, initially for use in instant coffee.But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty and highgrade coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for Chinagrown coffee has risen so dramatically that Gao says it's now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to one day host classes for interactive howto events. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one's own kitchen with a pourover system and she hopes it's only a matter of time before home specialty coffee enthusiasts catch on too.8．What's a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have limited producing areas.C．They have a mild taste.D．They are used for flavored coffee.9．Wha t does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Output. B．Increase.C．Option. D．Investment.10．What does Sherry Gao expect to do in future?A．Offer community members coffee for free.B．Buy a pourover system for her shop.C．Teach people to make Chinese coffee at home.D．Keep up with home specialty coffee fans.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Entertainment. B．Health.C．Education. D．Business.D[2023·山东省日照市三模]A new wearable device that wraps around your finger like a plaster can harvest sweat while you sleep and use it to generate electricity, according to the developers from University of California, San Diego.Most power producing wearable device require wearers to perform intense exercise or depend on external sources such as sunlight or large changes in temperature. But the new strip uses a passive system to generate electricity from sweat in your fingertips, even if you are sleeping or sitting completely still. This is because the finger tips are the sweatiest part of the body. So, thanks to a smart sponge material, this can be collected and processed by conductors.The energy harvester produced small amounts of electricity when the wearer presses down or starts to sweat, or from light finger tapping. It does this by converting activities like typing, texting, or playing the piano into extra charge.Finger tips have one of the highest concentrations of sweat grands in the body, with coach finger producing between 100 and 1，000 times more sweat than most other areas, according to the researchers.Cofirst author doctoral student Mr. Bin said: “The reason why we feel sweatier on other parts of the body is that those spots are not well ventilated (通风的). By contrast, the finger tips are always exposed to air, so the sweat evaporated as it comes out. So rather than letting it evaporate, we use our device to collect this sweat, and it can generate a significant amount of energy.”The device is equipped with electrical conductors or electrode (电极) made from a carbon foam, which absorbs any finger sweat. Enzyme (酶) on the electrode then cause a chemical sweat molecule to generate electricity.The device only stores up a little bit power at the moment, and would take about three weeks of constant wear to power a smart phone, but the researchers hope to increase capacity in future.12．How is the new device different from other wearables?A．It is costeffective.B．It is harmless to skin.C．It required no exercise.D．It produced electricity.13．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Changes into a gas.B．Freezes in the air.C．Drops to the ground.D．Becomes bigger in amount.14．What is the disadvantage of the device?A．It is extremely small in size.B．It is very difficult to operate.C．It has a very limited power capacity.D．It relies much on temperature changes.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Sweats FingertipsB．Power from FingertipsC．An Electrical ConductorD．A Rechargeable Device[答题区]阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

二轮复习高考英语二模试卷分类汇编阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author_______.A.learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB.contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C.no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD.switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keep Your Attitude under Control.B.Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C.Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D.Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?pany bosses.B.Those new to a job.C.Business consultants.D.Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W.

graduated，it was clear that we were a(n)6 team who would struggle.The struggle began earlier than expected，7 ，as our team’s center wa s suspended (禁赛) for the season，and two key members decided to8 for some reason.At this point，dropping out probably passed through every player’s mind，but in the end，we all stuck it out，9 to work still harder.Then there came a time when even our 10 had given up on us.Personally，I felt like it was 11 worthwhile giving my all.I thought，if even the coach didn’t believe in us，why should I？But just as my hope began to 12 ，a teammate called a meeting.He said，“Nobody

monument，may have been an ancient pilgrimage(朝圣(cháoshèng)) site for the sick who believed itsstones had healing qualities.It has always been a mystery why bluestones，the smaller stones that form part of the circle，were transported around 155 miles from Preseli Hills in Wales to Wiltshire in southern England.Archaeologists from Bournemouth University，who carried out the dig in April—the first at Stonehenge since 1964—believe the bluestones were respected as healing stones.“It was the magical qualities of these stones that transformed the monument and made it a place of pilgrimage for the sick and the injured of the Neolithic world (新石器时代(shídài))，〞 a statement from the archaeologist team said.Geoffrey Wainwright，president of the Society of Antiquaries of London and one of the experts leading the work，said that one reason which led to the conclusion was that a number of the burials around Stonehenge showed signs of injury and disability.The archaeologists said in the statement that radiocarbon dating (放射性碳测年法) put the construction of the circle of bluestones at between 2400 B．C. and 2200 B．C.，a few centuries later than originally thought.But they found pieces of charcoal dating from before 7000 B．C.，showing humans were active in the area much earlier than previously thought.During the dig，the researchers also found Roman ceramics (陶器) and ancient stone hammers.“We now know，much to our surprise and delight，that Stonehenge was not just a prehistoric monument，but it was a Roman and mediaeval (中世纪的) monument，〞 said Wainwright.Another of the team leaders，Tim Darvill of Bournemouth University，said the bluestones appeared to be the most important to the purpose of Stonehenge although it may have had more than one function.Other theories about Stonehenge are that it was a religious site or that it acted as a calendar.1．Faraway bluestones were transported to Wiltshire probably because they ________.A．were of great value at the timeB．looked more beautiful than the stones thereC．looked like green diamondsD．were thought to have the function of treatment2．Before bluestones were transported there，Stonehenge may have been used only as ________.A．a monument B．a

A．many pieces of charcoal were found around StonehengeB．radiocarbon dating was used to check the bluestonesC．many bodies of the sick and the injured were found buried around Stonehenge D．humans were active around Stonehenge before 7000 B．C.4．________ could prove that Stonehenge was not only a prehistoric monument but a Roman and mediaeval monument.A．The location of the bluestonesB．The magical qualities of the bluestonesC．Roman ceramics and ancient stone hammersD．Years of hard research of Wainwright5．Which could be the best title of the passage?A．Stonehenge—Britain’s most famous prehistoric monumentB．Stonehenge may have been a pilgrimage site for sick ancestors C．Bluestones have been found during the recent dig at Stonehenge D．Stones at Stonehenge have been used to treat patients答案(dáàn)11．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．D 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．D 11．D 12．A 13．A 14．C 15．B 16．C 17．D 18．A 19．B 20．C21．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．B内容总结。
