高考英语专题复习任务型阅读(含答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读Just as team members today have assigned doing roles, there should also be thinking roles. By knowing how other members of your learn and organization think---and by others knowing how you think—everyone can be more productive. So how should you evaluate how you and your team think? After a lot of trial-and-error, we developed a three-step method that delivers practical and meaningful results.Focus. Do you tend to pay the most attention to ideas, process, action, or relationships? For example, in the morning do you think about the problems you need to solve, the plans you need to make, the actions you need to take, or the people you need to see? This isn't about picking one to the exclusion(排除)of the other. It's about where your focus naturally lands.Orientation(方向). A good way to identify your orientation is thinking about what tends to bother you in meetings. Are you more likely to complain about getting dragged into the weeds or about things being too general and not specific enough? These dimensions are complementary(补充的)to personality, skills, and traditional roles.Combination. By combing these two dimensions you can know about the thinking style at work in whatever context or setting you chose. When you know your thinking style, you know what naturally energizes you, why certain type of problems are challenging or boring, and what you can do to improve in areas that are important to reaching your goals. Once you know your style, it helps to share it with others, and have others share theirs with you. In this way, your thinking style becomes a useful tool---a kind of social currency---for the team. Imaging you put together a team to work on a new initiative(行动). Wouldn't you like to know who is energized by big-picture strategy discussions and who finds them frustrating? Who likes to work on the details of the execution? And who is energized by managing the team dynamics?The landscape of business is changing rapidly, and we have to find new and better ways to connect and communicate. We all want to work better together, the challenge is actually making it happen. Understanding collaboration(合作)through the way of thinking rather than doing is a practical and powerful step forward.【答案】equally；improve/increase；evaluating；thinking；choice；whether；combine；contributes/leads；Conclusion；how【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，正如今天的团队成员分配的角色一样，也应该有思考的角色，两者同样重要。
2011年高考英语阅读理解答案全解
2011年高考英语阅读理解答案全解湖北卷AHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn‘t include her when she told me that if I didn‘t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas could find out and wouldn‘t give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科), Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who‘d accompanied him in the ambulance. She‘d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. ―Has he lost any weight recently?‖ I asked, ―Well, it‘s funny you should mention that, but yes,‖she said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. ―Why? What are you worried about?‖ she asked. I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. ―Well, we need to prove it‘s not cancer,‖ I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: ―Mr. McMahon‘s daughter broke down —she said you told her he had cancer.‖ My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of rests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. ―Why on earth did you do that?‖she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. ―She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.‖ I said, hanging my head. ―And give her more to worry about?‖ replied my consultant. ―You don‘t say the word ‗cancer‘ until it‘s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.‖As it turned out, it wasn‘t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they‘re sometimes selective in what they hear —and as a doctor it‘s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I‘d made the situation worse.51．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author ________.A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB. was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC. regarded honesty as the best policyD. had an unhealthy eating habit 52．The author‘s consultant was angry with him because ________.A. he told the daughter what he suspectedB. he delayed running the necessary testsC. he failed to confirm the patient‘s diseaseD. he forgot what the consultant hadadvised53．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para. 4) because he was feeling ________.A. guiltyB. hurtC. disappointedD. helpless54．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience？A. Learning from parents is necessary.B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.BHowling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf‘s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It‘s almost as if howling together help the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour.Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be ―punished‖ for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interesting, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of ―roll call‖ where wolves all howl together to report their presence.55．What is the possible similarity between wolves‘ howling together and human‘s singing in chorus?A. The act of calling each other.B. The sense of accomplishment.C. The act of hunting for something.D. The sense of belonging to a group.56．Why does Harrington think the ―social bond‖ theory may be wrong?A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.D. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.57．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to ________.A. show their ranksB. find their companionsC. report the missing onesD. express their loneliness58．―Howling…is a contagious behaviour‖ (in the last paragraph) means ________.A. howling is a signal for huntingB. howling is a way of communicationC. howling often occurs in the morningD. howling spread from one to anotherCIn today‘s throw-away society, dealing with the city‘s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner —largely through encouraging recycling —its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh, east Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders) face fines around £18 million a year from 2013 if they don‘t increase recycling levelsand rely less on landfill. With this in mind the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city‘s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city‘s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemd necessary for the members of the Edinburg Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down —after 700 local objections reached them —because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator pant as time to find a solution is fast running out.59．The main way handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.A. recyclingB. restoringC. buryingD. burning60．The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.A. reduce the cost of burying wasteB. meet the EU requirementsC. speed up waste recyclingD. replace landfill sites61．The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.A. it came from a private companyB. the council was not interested in itC. it was not supported by EUD. the local people were against it62．What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?A. To open a new landfill nearby.B. To close the Powderhall landfill in2015C. To set up a plant for burning waste.D. To persuade people to reduce theirwaste.DFeeling blue about the world? ―Cheer up,‖ says science writer Matt Ridley. ―The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.‖Ridley calls himself a rational optimist —rational, because he‘s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he‘s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here‘s how he explains his views.1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we‘ll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before isthat the four most basic human needs —food, clothing, fuel and shelter —have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour‘s light cost six hour‘s work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes‘ work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it‘s half second.3) Let‘s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks63．What is the theme of Ridley‘s most recent book?A. Weakness of human nature.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thinking.D. Optimism about human progress.64．How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It encourages the creation of things.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It demands more fossil fuels.D. It causes a poverty problem.65．The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. shortening working time brings about a happier lifeC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods66．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.C. People‘s health is closely related to climate change.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.EWhich are your more likely to have with you at any given moment —your cell-phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we‘re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America‘s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal —a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is ―to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.‖The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what‘s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? ―We‘re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of yourphone.‖ says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. ―Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.‖Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn‘t.67．What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?A. the expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.68．The NFC technology can be used to ________.A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones69．Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to ________.A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology70．According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phone?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.答案解析：51．解析：推理判断题。

From eagles to lions, many countries use an animal to show its national spirit and character. The image of an eagle is on the US President's flag, and on the one-dollar bill. The bald eagle is a large, powerful, brown bird with a white head and tail. The US declared that the eagle was its national bird in 1782. It was chosen because of "its long life, great strength, and noble looks". But, one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin didn't agree with the choice. "The bald eagle...is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by robbing" he argued. Franklin wanted the turkey as the country's national bird. If Americans chose their national symbol deliberately(人为地), the symbol of England arose out of history. King Henry I (1068-1135) was a brave warrior but also wise. He was the first English King to use a lion as a royal symbol, which is popularly known as the "king of the jungle". By the year Richard I, known as "The Lion Heart" for his bravery, came to the throne in 1189, the famous Three Lions badge had been formed. Now it can be seen on the shirts of England's sports teams. Everyone knows about the Australian kangaroo. Legend has it that the kangaroo gets its name from an early meeting between local aborigines and white settlers. When asked by the Europeans what these strange-looking animals were, a native replied "kangaroo" meaning, "I don't understand you." The kangaroo is an individualistic animal. Although it does gather in groups, the kangaroo is not a herd animal. If a group is attacked, individuals run off in different directions. Australians think the kangaroo represents positive values, such as individual responsibility and pride.

2011届高考英语阅读理解复习指导
2011届高考英语阅读理解复习指导英语：怎样做好阅读理解复习指导得阅读者得天下！阅读理解历都是英语测试的重中之重，阅读战略一直都是各类英语考试备考之主打策略，阅读恐惧也是每位考生最大的应试恐惧。
在长期的教学中，我们总结了“重、定、划、看、防、读”阅读理解六字真诀，不少学生从中受益；很大一部分同学按此思路去运作解题，正确率大大提高，阅读理解零失误的同学也大有人在。
现一一阐释，条分缕析，以飨读者。
一、重“重”——“重本”。
读懂最重要。
本是题所在，如果将考生比作勘探人员，那么本就是他们的勘探场所。
撰题者正式通过对的深入剖析，才将一个个地宝藏埋藏其中，让考生去发掘。
所以读懂本不仅是正确解题的第一步，也是最关键的一步。
但是，快速读懂一篇却非易事，需要进行大量的阅读习练。
高超的阅读真功夫有赖良好的阅读习惯的培养。
既要读得快，又要读得懂，良好的阅读习惯是保障。
1、阅读的不良习惯要养成良好的阅读习惯，首先要克服阅读的不良习惯。
下面我列举了一些常见的阅读不良习惯，对号入座，看你有否。
心译：读一句心译一句，句句必须借助汉语译方能理解；指读：阅读时总是用指头或笔尖等指着句子，边移边读；逐字逐句：一字一句，字字重视，句句关心，生怕漏掉一个单词，眉毛胡子一把抓；见生即查：阅读时欲将生词各个击破，完全扫清阅读障碍，认为只要没有生词，便可洞悉；出声：阅读时发出声音，全篇诵读，字字句句，丝毫不拉；唇读：阅读时虽没有发出声音，但唇随句变，词带舌移，只是声带未颤，声音未出；默读：没有出声，也没有唇动舌移，但目光、意识仍在逐句念诵。
以上不良习惯要么会打断阅读思维的连贯性，要么会破坏对本的整体理解，而它们最大的害处就是降低了阅读速度。
拿高考说，共有五篇，合理的时间分配是3分钟，再分配到每一篇就只有7分钟了（当然考生可以根据难易稍做调整）；可就我的教学经验，罕有学生在3分钟内高质量完成五篇；有的同学用了0分钟，有的多达一个小时，还不算上复查的时间。
2011年高考英语阅读理解专项训练40篇
2011年高考英语阅读理解专项训练40篇（附解答）一、自测题：Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!1 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest2. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy3. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly4. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio p erforms this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger.The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.6. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV7. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap8. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages9. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives10. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit yourinterest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.11. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential12. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance13. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.14.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job15. The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touching1.A 文章的第一段谈到睡眠能使身体健康，第二段、第三段谈到睡眠的几种状态，最后一段谈到很快入睡的几种方法。

ACharlie Boswell has always been a great hero. He has inspired thousands of people to rise above circumstances and live out true meaning of life.He was blinded during World War II while rescuing his friend from a tank that was under fire. He was a great athlete before the accident. In order to prove his talent and determination, he decided to try a brand new sport, a sport he never imagined playing, even with his eyesight –golf! Through determination and a deep love for the game he became the National Blind Golf Champion! He won that honor 13 times.One of his heroes was the great golfer Ben Hogan, so it truly was an honor for Charlie to win the Ben Hogan Award in 1958.Upon meeting Ben Hogan, Charlie was respectful and stated that he had one wish and it was to have one round of golf with the great Ben Hogan. Mr. Hogan agreed that playing a round together would be an honor for him as well, as he had heard about all of Charlie’s accomplishments and truly admired his skills.―Would you like to play for money, Mr. Hogan?‖ asked out Charlie.―I can’t play you for money, it wouldn’t be fair!‖ said Mr. Hogan.―Aw, come on Mr. Hogan…$ 1,000 per hole!‖―I can’t, what would people think of me, taking advantage of you and your circumstance?‖ replied the sighted golfer.―Chicken, Mr. Hogan?‖―Okay,‖ replied the embarrassed Hogan, ―but I am going to play my best!‖―I wouldn’t expect anything else,‖ said the confident Boswell.―Now that you’re on. Mr. Boswell, you name the time and the place!‖The very self – assured Boswell responded, ―10 o’clock … tonight!‖56．Why didn’t Mr. Hogan want to play Charlie for money?A．He was worried he would lose the match.B．He thought it was unfair for Charlie.C．He didn’t care about money.D．He preferred chicken to money.57．According to the text, what does the underlined word ―self - assured‖ probably mean?A．ignorant B．selfless C．confident D．sincere58．It can be inferred from the text that .A．Mr. Hogan was not good at playing golfB．Charlie did well in other sports before playing golfC．Mr. Hogan didn’t try his best to playD．Charlie Boswell was born blind59．What was the result of the match?A．Charlie won. B．Hogan won.C．Neither of them won. D．Not wentioned.60．Which of the following can best describe Charlie?A．Competitive and generous B．Energetic and reliableC．Careful and considerate D．Confident and smartBIn university application process the interview is of great importance. A quick look at interview tips will tell you to smile, make eye contact, and shake the interviewer’s hand firmly. Unfortunately, few tell you what it is that the interviewer is really looking for.To put it simply, they want to be able to imagine you at the university. Your job is to be able to give them that picture. So how do you do that? One of the interviewer’s jobs is to decide whether or not you are psychologically fit for their university. That means it is vital to behave as socially well – adjusted.Remember that most interviews, like battles, are won or lost before you ever go into them. I am constantly struck by that fact that many really smart, diligent students do little research before they go into their interview. So when asked questions, they often have butterflies in their stomachs. You should, for example, be able to find out where your interview –all with just a few minutes of googling.More importantly, you should do a lot of research on the university in question beyond simply knowing the school’s ranking in The US News and Word Reports. Interviewers hate it when you respond to the question ―Why do you want to attend this university?‖ with the answer ―Well, you know that it is a very famous school.‖ Think of it from the school’s point of view, after all, you want this school to select you rather than just another excellent Chinese student.Tell them why you would choose them rather than another excellent American university. If you are interested in biology, be sure to know the biology professors’ names. If you are interested in camping, be sure to know the name of the outdoors club at the school. Find ways to tie your interests and goals to what that school has to offer in particular.61．Some excellent student fail in interviews because they .A．know little about what the interviewers care aboutB．don’t know how to communicate in body languageC．haven’t any friends in the university they want to enterD．don’t know the ranking of the university in the US news62．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 mean?A．have a stomachache B．get ex citedC．eat butterflies D．feel nervous63．Which of the following would impress the interviewers most?A．You can learn your favorite subject and fulfill your dreams there.B．You know the professor’s name of the subject you are interested in.C．The university is very famous and everybody wants to attend it.D．You can google out whatever you want to know on the Internet.64．The writer of the text advises you .A．to shake hands with the interviewers looselyB．to give your picture to the interviewers before handC．to research enough about the interview before handD．not to find out where the interviewers are from65．The text is most probably chosen from .A．a science news report B．an application websiteC．a book review D．a science fiction storyCSmart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners, and a new housing platform can detect problems on electricity – and problems on the heart.―There is a growing population of elderly people, and statistics show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,‖ said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer in digital communication systems at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who is leading the Inter Home project. The system was originally designed to provide remote access to a house so less energy is consumed. In a model of the system, the controllers connect safely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. Users’response helps the system adapt to routines, saving electricity.Wile thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband technology that senses vitals such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said.―In the event that someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock,‖he said. ―It’s an early warning system that can inform any parties registered to monitor the person.‖The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be safely piped to the home network and accessed by authorized users.A functioning model of the wristband technology exists, but it’s still too big. The team is working hard to reduce its size to a level where it could potentially be a wrist – sized product and is trying adding other services, including a system that could send a warning message if someone with Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆) were to get lost.Siau said that the university received government supporting money, enabling the researchers to work with the independent research firm on testing the platform in real houses.66．Who would benefit most from the new system?A．People who care about environmental pollution.B．Doctors who are responsible for patients with Alzheimer’s.C．Children who don’t want to take care of their elderly parents.D．Elderly people who need attention to their health conditions.67．The new system is smarter in the fact that .A．it can take people’s body temperature.B．it can help do some cooking workC．it can sense emergencies and give signalsD．it can prevent elderly people from falling68．The system was originally designed for the owner to .A．save energy B．to save strengthC．collect energy D．produce energy69．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The wristband is small enough to wear around the wrist now.B．If someone falls, the system can hold the person up.C．The system can treat patients with diseases.D．The system has been tested in real houses.70．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Smart house feels your pain B．Smart house enters every familyC．Smart house saves money D．Smart house makes you comfortableDFor the first century or so of the Industrial Revolution, increased productivity led to decreases in working hours. A generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered.Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945, leisure (freetime) seems reserved largely for the unemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970. There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1979, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel. Most increased production doesn’t relate to the employment. Some firms are even downsizing as their profits climb. It’s more profitable to ask 40 employees to labor an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.Although employees complain about long hours, they, too, have reasons not to trade money for leisure. People who work reduced hours pay a huge price in career terms. It’s taken as a negative (负面的) signal about their commitment to the firm. Many managers find it difficult to measure the contribution of their staff to a firm’s well – being, so they use the number of working hours instead of the output to evaluate the employees. Well aware of this, employees adjust their behavior accordingly.It may take some time before workers can successfully trade increased productivity and money for leisure time. The reality is that the U.S. marker for goods has focused on fulltime, two- career households. Car makers no longer produce cheap models, and developers do not build the tiny bungalows that served the first postwar generation of house seekers.In a word, in U.S., goods are appropriate only for high incomes and long hours.71．What was the result of the industrial revolution?A．Less working time. B．More unemployment.C．Fewer factories. D．More jobs.72．have got more free time to enjoy themselves since 1945.A．The employees B．The unemployedC．The employers D．Social planners73．One reason why employees don’t want to trade money for leisure is that .A．they don’t want to be considered to be lazy.B．they have to pay a lot of money for leisure.C．their companies are lacking in employees.D．they love their companies so much.74．It can be inferred from the text that .A．employees are facing a reduction in working hours todayB．increased leisure time would benefit two – career householdsC．companies have no set standard to evaluate their staffD．high incomes don’t guarantee Americans enough leisure time75．The passage is mainly about .A．what has brought about less working timeB．why employees want to make more moneyC．why employees have less leisure timeD．what a good employee should be like2（2011·山东省泰安市泰安一中高三冲刺试题）第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

高考资源网()您身边的高考专家2009 年高考英语阅读理解和任务型阅读课堂综合练习三一阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项. A As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here(Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen. The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a "very dark time", including her decision to give up trying to have children. "People have suggested I could adopt," Brightman says. "But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I'm not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich." Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: "I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume." She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m Brightman led the saucy dance troupe(辣妹三人舞) Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. "I was probably in love but I can't remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn't really work out." In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem andPhantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) "from the beginning. I haven't tried to understand it. I've done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live,-1-版权所有@高考资源网高考资源网()您身边的高考专家I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don't miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it." 1. The first paragraph tells us that . A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in America B. Brightman's musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz C. the British people don't like her for her style of music D. Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber 2. Brightman decided to give up having children because . A. she could adoptone children C. she felt it normal not to have children D. she was too busy B. her life and career were unbelievably rich without3. The following statements are true except . A. Brightman first appeared in a West End musical at 5 B. Brightman disliked life on the campus C. Brightman was very gifted when she was young w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m D.The saucy dance troupe made Brightman famous4. The underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably means . A. locatedB. admiredC. followedD. found5. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman's words? A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is liked in Britain B. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country C. The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland D. Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain B The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy(谬误) of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer -2版权所有@高考资源网高考资源网()您身边的高考专家from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕) cold and wet, , showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms. 6. The writer offered examples to support his argument. A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 37. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage? A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time. B. Colds are not caused by cold. C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors. D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one. 8. Arctic explorers may catch coldswhen .

D Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation (模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.16..

The Chinese are very generous when itcomes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter. -7版权所有@高考资源网高考资源网()您身边的高考专家However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children's skills vary; theywill usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well--cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.

江苏省2011-2014任务型阅读
江苏省2011-2014年高考英语真题汇编任务型阅读（2014江苏）The expression, “everybody’s doing it,”is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everybody else does. It can be positive or negative. Most people experience it in some way during their lives.People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that simplifies day-to-day interaction.For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to “keep up with the Joneses.”However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence ofpositive peer groups.（2013江苏）Quiet Virtue: The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, self-disciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It’sthe conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs, from semi-skilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actua lly are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers’ evaluations of their work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don’t show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothingto show for their imaginativeness.(2012江苏)"Happiness Advantage" EffectIn July 2010 Burt's Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone's anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex ( 大脑皮层) , which is responsible for effective problem solving.Burt's Bees's then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he'd send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values. He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang's emphasis ontransformed the company into a global one.That outcome shouldn't surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positivemind-set(思维模式), performance on nearly every level—productivity, creativity,involvement—improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance.For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness. " Once I get a promotion, 111be happy," they think. Or, "Once I hit my sales target, IH feel great. " But because success is amoving target—as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again—the happiness that results fromsuccess does not last long.In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mind-set perform better inthe face of challenge. I call this the "happiness advantage"—every business outcome showsimprovement when the brain is positive. I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher andlecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I'm notalone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence ofcause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combinationof the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one'sgeneral sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable. The habits you form, the way you interactwith colleagues, how you think about stress—all these can be managed to increase yourhappiness and your chances of success.（2011江苏）When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?Why Difficult?When we wrong someone we know, even not intentionally, we are generally expected toapologize so as to improve the situation. But when we’re acting as leaders, the circumstances aredifferent. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony—while an apology that is too little, too late, or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin. What, then, is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly?Why Now?The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture—apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles, cartoons, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies.Why Bother?Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a good, strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.Why Refuse?Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize, even when a public apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations, as we shall see,but it is a high-risk strategy.。

2011年高考英语真题解析分项版汇编 专题08人物传记、故事类阅读理解
2011年高考英语试题考点分项解析阅读理解分类汇编之人物传记类〔2011·福建卷〕DJacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed 〔展现〕herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate〔巨头〕Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career〔职业〕in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some idea about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing〔追求〕a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyer’s and Jose Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth.The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography〔自传〕, Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.68.We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline _________A. because fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that_________A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather as First LadyB. Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor70. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline’s two marriag es lasted more than 20 yearsB. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventuallyC. Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she editedD. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.71.The passage is mainly______________A. an int roduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in pu blishing〔2011·重庆卷〕DWilliam Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of ch ildhood but its pain〞. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature , particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love,nature,history,timeand aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923.Yet,hecontinued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth,recive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry68.Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?A.It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.B.It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.C.It was a typically wealthy family.D.It had an artistic atmosphere.69.According to thse passage,what do we know about Yeats’s life?A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater.B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his peotry.C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D.Yeats was not favored by the publie until the 1923 Noble Prize.70.What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H.Auden’s lines?A.EnvyB.SympathyC.EmptinessD.Admiration71.What is the passage mainly about?A.Yeats’s literary achievement sB.

2011-2013年安徽高考英语任务型读写(word)
2011安徽省高考英语任务型读写If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life, then there is very little time to waste. So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our school should teach.Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don’t make an effort to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.We’re likely no accept something we are told, but that’s not what educated people do. Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical（批判性的）thinking.Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food （垃圾食品）, they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are. We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.How will we test students on these? We can’t. But that’s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important. Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children: ”This is life, this is what you are going to face, and this is how you deal with it.”2012安徽省高考英语任务型读写Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village, but this doesn’t mean that we all behave in the same way.How should we behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In many part of Asia, there is no physicalcontact (接触)at all. In Japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, The deeper you should bow. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest, In both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.Many country have rules about what you should and shouldn’t wear. In Muslim countries, you shouldn’t reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who Should wear long blouses and skirts .In Korea ,you should take off your shoes when entering a house Remember to place then neatly together where you came in.In Spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, Lunch is the time to relax ,and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat ,In Britain ,it’s not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.In most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. You should include your company name and your position. If you are going to a country where your language is not widely spoken, you can get the back side of your card printed in the local language. In China ,you may present your card with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.2013安徽省高考英语任务型读写Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”. In othe r words, whether you’re seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you’ve got to move forward. We’ve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood（心情）：Over a 30-year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people howincome, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness. Reported Newsweek’s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness, according to a study from Wake Forest University. Participants（参与者）followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.The editors of forbes. com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who’d shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who’d spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it’s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit.Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful. A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration（脱水）affected the moods of its female participants.参考答案：201176.

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,”said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power.But what are these really and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. Even if this is possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire 〔产生事与愿违的后果. If you order someone todo something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best .If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day? or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivations. Today’s work place is all about relationshipsAnyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence---knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.【答案】76.Modern/Contemporary77.Influencing 78.fearful/scared79.harmonious/good/cozy/comfortable/pleasant80.effective/efficient81.devotion/enthusiasm82.leading/contributing83.long-term/lasting84.Conclusion 85.lies/exists/consists任务型读写 (共10小题；每一小题1分，总分为10分)【2011·安徽名校联考】认真阅读如下短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

【备考高考】高考英语专题复习任务型阅读(含答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读“Urgent action required”, “Do you still want to hear from us?”, “We've updated our privacy policy”, “Should we stop sending you updates? If not, act now!”Many of us will have received emails like this during the past few weeks. Triggering this flood of emails is something called GDPR that comes into effect in just under two weeks' time. Often the emails warn that if you don't respond, you will be removed from the company's database, which raises a lot of questions. What action, if any, do you need to take? Could it affect you financially? GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation, has been described as the biggest overhaul（彻底检查）of online privacy since the birth of the internet. It is designed to give all EU citizens the right to know what data is stored on them and to have it deleted, plus protect them from privacy breaches（破坏）. It comes into effect on 25 May.The new rules encourage the requirement for explicit and informed consent before data is processed. As a result, companies and organizations around the world are contacting users to check they are happy to carry on receiving their emails.However, many of us seem to be going down with “GDPR fatigue（厌倦）”: one article last week claimed that the “reconfirmation rate” - the proportion of people saying they want to continue receiving a company's emails - at UK micro-businesses was averaging just 10%, which meant “they could lose 90% of their subscribers - the life-blood for their business”. So it's no wonder some firms have adopted policies such as offering to enter people into a prize draw in return for them going in and updating their communication preferences.The average adult is said to have about 100 “data relationships” —companies and organizations that hold our personal data. Meanwhile, the reason why the company that occasionally emails you newsletters is now asking for your consent is perhaps because you never explicitly gave it permission to send you stuff. Maybe you only get its emails because you went to an event it organized ages ago or you once downloaded something from its website. Under the new regime, that almost certainly wouldn't count as explicit and informed consent, hence it's getting in touch now.The bottom line is that if it is a company or organization that you want to continue hearing from, you should probably click the button or log in to ensure you keep getting its emails. If it doesn't hear from you, it may decide to take you off its database.protection/respect；response(s)/reaction(s)；unwilling/reluctant；prize/bonus；consent/permission/approval/agreement；unintentionally/unpurposely/indeliberately/undesignedly/unconsciously【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了人们对GDPR邮件的反应以及公司会采用的一些对应措施。
