广东汕尾市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解精选训练（3）高考英语阅读理解提升全程训练及答案阅读理解Goldie's SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have givenher a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.( ) 1. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoyed.D. Upset.( ) 2. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .AI felt worried B. was angryC. ate a littleD. sat by the fire( ) 3. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A. saw her puppiesB. heard familiar barkingC. wanted to leave the authorD. found her way to her old home( ) 4. The passage is organized in order of .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexity阅读技巧：夹叙夹议，叙为议服务，议为叙指导。

江苏如东县2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）训练（1）【2015高考复习】阅读理解A survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that U．S.executives believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs，compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact，a whopping 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times.And，what's more，it may propel them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why？It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive.In fact，a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.Consequently，they can concentrate on their work more efficiently.What's more，employees who enjoy interacting with their coworkers aren't as likely to be distracted，or absent from work.Research conducted by psychologist Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people feel stuck on important projects，they tend to feel angry or depressed.This negative mood can interfere with subsequent performance.According to Dr Trice's research，taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humour is really this important，then why don't we use it more often on the job?Most likely，the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional，perhaps both.However，it is important to realize that some humour is inappropriate for the workplace，and that it is often used at wrong times.【语篇解读】本文是一篇时文报道。

2016山东临清市高考英语二轮阅读理解选编练习（3）阅读理解训练So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself.文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。

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。
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 Sea island. 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 thebooks.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colorful 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[全解全析]本书主要讲读好书的益处。

What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”.Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Face book's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts. But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency? “Call me uncoil, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of ‘friend',” said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.( ) 1.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _________.A. if you have more friends you will not live happily.B. the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn in your late life.C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live.D. friends can make more money for you.( ) 2. According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means_____A. You have the ability to earn more money.B. You will not feel lonely.C .You are quite content with your life.D. You have the ability to get along with others in various situations.( ) 3. What’s the main idea of the passage ?A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.B. Friends plays an more important part in our daily life than anything else.C. Friends are currency.D. Friends give you success.( ) 4. We can learn from the passage that _________.A.

第一编专题一考点3真题题组A(2017·全国Ⅲ，D) The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB”in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well－being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in－vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom－made navigation(导航) tools，night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains：“For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others. ”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to. ”Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains：“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel. ”文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了智能交通团队建立移动实验室，研究老年人开车存在的问题和难点，帮助老年人安全驾驶。

However, there are lots of stops along the road to self-improvement, which often calls for patience, emotional strength and kindness.With concentrated effort, you can become a better person than you ever thought possible.1. .Nice people always put themselves in the other person’s shoes. If the service is a lit tle slow, maybe it’s because the waitress has been standing for 8 hours and her back and feet are aching.Perhaps her little baby isn’t feeling well and she got very little sleep the night before.In a word, you never know the full story from a brief meeting with a person.2.Be a reasonable man. Service-centered businesses often live by the idea “The Customer is Always Right.” They’re totally mistaken. The customer is not always right; sometimes the customer is quite difficult to deal with. You do not “deserve”a free meal because the waitress forgot to bring you a spoon. If you have a grievance, let it out, but be reasonable.3.Fight fairly. When arguing with another person, stick to the subject. Present the facts briefly, and don’t bring up unrelated incide nts that happened 4 weeks from last Tuesday. Never hesitate to create a chance for other people to voice their opinions. They are just as important as yours.4.Put others first. Let the troubled-looking Mom have the parking space. Standa few extra seconds holding the door for an elderly person. Don’t interrupt people when they’re speaking, or finish their sentences for them. Such small things, yet the effects are immediate and far-reaching.Nice people make a concentrated effort to be kind and put others needs above their own.Stop a moment and think how you can help someone, and you’ll become a nicer person.1.What might the speaker most probably discuss last time?( )A.The origin of self-improvement.B.The process of self-improvement.C.The structure of self-improvement.D.The importance of self-improvement.2.The best title for the second paragraph is “”.A.Be understandingB.Stay calmC.Be positiveD.Be merciless3.The underlined word “grievance” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to .A.mistakeplaintmitmentD.decision4.Which of the following may the speaker support?

江苏如东县2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）训练（3）【2015高考复习】阅读理解A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health andSocial Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healt-hily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love (早恋)may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(抑郁症)．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this“loss of self”is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.They won't tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing.Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early.During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self.She also suggests the parents should stimulate their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family. Parents should watch for signs of depression－ eating or mood changes－and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help.The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age.Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity (成熟)gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.【语篇导读】文章主要讲述失恋对女孩子的影响，那些不善言语的女孩子更会患抑郁症。

四川彭山县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础选练（3）【2015高考复习】阅读理解Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day.The 16yearold had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the sa ddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school，’ ” Robinson said in a telephone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland’s president and former U．N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an everincreasing population，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billi on soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，”she said.“Almost all o f that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in SubSaharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa，where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia’s 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certain，Africa’s population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope tha t some will survive to improve the quality of each child’s life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.【语篇解读】人口的快速增长困扰着世界。

Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your reader everything about the book, because t hen they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective（客观的）. This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist（女权主义者） would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lensof a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership. Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another w riter’s style and write about them intelligently.1. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A. Standards of good book reviews.B. Benefits of writing book reviews.C. Ways to get your writing published.D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.2. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review?A. Including much information on a major point of the book.B. Stating clearly the writer’s opinion of the book.C. Giving a brief summary of the book.D. Avoiding describing the book.3. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly by .A. giving examplesB. telling personal experiencesC. making comparisonsD. analyzing causes4. According to the text, only a skilled writer can .A. look at a book through a specific angleB. give an objective description of a bookC. find a book and understand its plot easilyD. pay close attention to another writer’s style【参考答案】1—4、BCAD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won t he race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race.

As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free - form gestures –sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal infor mation we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free - form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.The researchers carried out a create - test - retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free - form gestures as passwords. To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens （触摸屏）, attempt to steal a free - form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free – form passwords in the future. They believe this is the firststudy to explore free - form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.32. What can we learn about free - form gestures?A. They are improving mobile security in a way.B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures.C. They will never be copied by others.D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.33.

According to the text, the researchers think that ________.A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eyeB. better ways of setting passwords should be developedC. people had better not use smart phones to pay billsD. personal information should not be stored in a phone35. The main purpose of the text is to ________.A. advise people to use free - form gesturesB. discuss whether smart phones are safeC. talk about the practicality of passwordsD. introduce the study of a new password参考答案32---35 ADBD【2014高考英语二诊考试】请阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
