(2017·衡阳第八中学、永州市第四中学联考)A“My work is done.”Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman.He included them in his suicide note.They mark an ignoble end to a noble life,the leave taking of a truly great man.The same words could now be said for the company he left behind.Actually,the Eastman Kodak Company is through.It has been mismanaged financially,technologically and competitively.For 20 years,its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century's prosperity.One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear,the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died,and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed.Though the ends be needless and premature,they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before.Few companies have done so much good for so many people,or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world.It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.Kodak served mankind through entertainment,science,national defense and the stockpiling of family memories.Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility.It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne,and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy,and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor,and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr.on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel.When that sailor kissed the nurse,and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba,Kodak was the eyes of a nation.From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley,Kodak took us there.Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity(繁荣) from the Eastman Kodak Company.In an era of easy digital photography,when we can take a picture of anything at any time,we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people.Yes,there were photograph ers,and for relatively large sumsof money they would take stilted(不自然的) pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldn't afford photographs,and so all they had to remember distant loved ones,or earlier times of their lives,was memory.Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people,grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like.Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection,to the permanence of a photograph.But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the sacred and precious times that families cherish.The Kodak moment,was humanity's moment.And it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the precious times that families cherish.Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings,picnics and parties,be preserved and saved.It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form.Lovers could take one another's pictures,children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school,the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording,and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made.And for centuries to come,those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny(子孙).Family history will be not only names on paper,but smiles on faces.The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job,but also allowed the company's founder to engage in some of the most generous charity in America's history.Not just in Kodak's home city of Rochester,New York,but in Tuskegee and London,and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.He bankrolled(资助) two historically black colleges,fixe d the teeth of Europe's poor,and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good,Kodak did very well.Over all the years,all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy.They prospered a great company,but they—with that company—blessed the world.That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.Like its founder,we should remember how it lived,not how it died.History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.But history will never forget Kodak.【语篇解读】文章叙述了柯达公司的没落,柯达公司对世界作出的巨大贡献以及作者对柯达公司的敬仰。

There, lying in her hospital bed, she would promise to anyone who'd listen that she was going to be walking again someday.She was moved to a special hospital. Many ways were used to treat her disease. The doctors there were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imagining seeing herself walking. If it would do nothing else, it would at least give her hope and something positive (积极的) to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in exercise period. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully imagining herself moving!One day, as she was trying with all her might to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though a wonder happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She shouted out, “Look what I'm doing! I can do it! I moved!”Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was shouting, too. Many things were falling and glass breaking. It was an earthquake. But she believed that she made it. And now only a few years later, she's back in school. On her own two legs. No wheelchair.

For more than 30 hours, it worked.Then Henderson was forced to make a decision. “I’m going to go for help or you’re not going to make it,” Henderson told Coen, just before cutting the strap(带子) that connected them in the d eep, cold waters. “I understand,”Coen responded, giving Henderson a last set of instructions, “Kiss mybabies for me.”Days after the fishing trip ended in tragedy, Henderson told the story for The Associated Press.They had been fishing for a few hours when suddenly Coen noticed the boat was filling with water. Henderson got both motors roaring, only to have the saltwater that had leaked in break them straight away…Coen jumped to the right, his sunglasses and cap flying off. The two grabbed extra life jackets and other floating items, including a half full bottle of Diet Coke.“The water was so cold and it took your breath away,” Henderson said. They immediately began to tremble.The pair prepared for a long wait. And they talked.“We discussed things and d iscussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied,” Henderson said.Eventually Coen started hallucinating(有幻觉). Henderson tried to keep Coen’s arms and legs moving. But as morning came,Coen’s situation worsened. And so Henderson decid ed to cut the strap.He swam for two hours, tired, frustrated and depressed. Then he saw an oil rig(钻探平台) in the distance. He swam, seeing ice and crystal trees in the water. He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself up the rig’s ladder.It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.All he could think of was Coen. Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.Two hours later, a fisherman found a body in a life jacket.Later, in the hospital, Henderson saw his friend. He apologized and asked for forgiveness.

It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learningplatform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform. “Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit (非盈利的) organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program.They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.1.According to this text, edX is _______.A.a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB.a free computer program by MIT and HarvardC.a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD.a free program online for universities worldwide2.What is said about online education in the text?A.Universities have been trying online courses.B.About 2,000 online courses have been offered.C.Over 100 million people have finished courses online.D.Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.3.The underlined part in the text probably means _____.A.Get ready for the difficultiesB.Get ready for this educational changeC.Get prepared to complete the online coursesD.Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses4.What can be said about MITx according to the text?A.It is first offered as part of the edX learning program.B.It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program.C.It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement.D.It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.6、 Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and thereafter a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesn t it? B ut it’s not that unrealistic, with the development of China's highspeed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan----to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15years,eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go throughKazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days. The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. China's bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has theworld's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issuevs that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距),maintenance of railway tracks. So,it's important to pay attention to every detail.But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions yuan on domestic railway expansion. China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on,not to mention the better communicationamong those countries.For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.1.China s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because .A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD.the foreign countries involved will develop their railwaytransportation. business and tourism2.According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is .A.technical issuesB.safety of the systemC.financial problemsD.maintenance of railway tracks3.Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan?A.Critical.B.Reserved.C.Doubtful.D.Positive.4.Which of the following might be thebest title for the passage?A.New Railway StandardsB.Big Railway DreamsC.High-speed Bullet TrainsD.International Railway Network7、“Get your hands off me; I have been stolen,” the laptop,a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by logging on to a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow“lost or stolen” banner pops up on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a messa ge saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’, said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. For example, the laptop’s speaker will say: “Hel p, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the Internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the Internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.1.The expression “to give the thief a piece of mind” can be understood as“_________”.A.to give the thief an alert mindB.to express owners’ anger to the thiefC.to remind the thief of his conscienceD.to make the thief give up his mind2.Different from other security software, Retriever can__________.A.record the stealing processB.help recognize the lost laptopC.lock down the computer remotelyD.send a spoken message3.One function of the program is that it allows the owner to_________at a distance.A.change some access details for switching on the laptopB.turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC.operate the laptop by means of an alternative passwordD.erase the information kept in the stolen laptop4.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A.With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B.A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.C.Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D.A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.8、To fight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orange peels (皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the dealin court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting a national park”. They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.“While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I d have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vines (藤) in the orange peel site itself, said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples (样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area with orange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (施肥), but what is really shocking i s that a judge actually thought the waste of orange “mined” a national park and slopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer’s study has received worldwide attention, this type of “ruining” is being seriously considered as a way of bringing fores ts back to life.1.What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A.Add them to fuel.B.Feed them to animals.C.Burn or bury them.D.Make them into cakes.2.What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A.It lasted 15 years.B.It was signed by Treuer.C.It was made in about 1998.D.It was broken by Del Oro.3.What was Treuer’s finding?A.Orange peels contain much fibre.B.Orange peels can make soil richer.C.Orange peels rot away in a short time.D.Orange waste ruined the national park.4.What is the author’s attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?A.Disapproving.B.Positive.C.Worried.D.Admirable.答案以及解析1答案及解析:答案:1.A; 2.B; 3.A; 4.C解析:1.推理判断题。

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解高效训练(4)及解析(A)Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when Idiscovered Tom Sawyer. But even at the height of my admiration, I couldnwith him that Anne, the main character in Anne of Green Gables, was “the dearestand most lovable child in fiction since the best-known Alice”. I had read Anne ofGreen Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made me as sick as a dog.Another Mark Twain’s quote will explain my problem. He said,a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant (无知旳) that I could hardly stand havingthe old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the oldman had learned in seven years. ” I gradually understood his words as growing up. When I picked upthe book again a few years later, I was too astonished at how much it had improved—and shortlyafterwards shocked by the fact that not only could I be a fool in all sporting, artistic and practicalmatters, I could also be so when it came to reading, too.On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed the dearest and most lovable child. I couldn’thelp adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with the “e” instead of Ann as she believesof a severe upbringingthat is “so much more distinguished. ” She is a brave and determined survivorwho has refused to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and MatthewCuthbert’s farmwith everything unfavorable—orphaned, unwanted and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled (有雀斑旳) face. However, she gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through herhonest love of beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She finally wins overthe Cuthberts, her neighbors and millions of readers who have met her over the 101 years since thebook was first published.When I settle down with it these days, I’ve come to see the truth in Mark Twain’s praise for t book, and this reminds me of the great truth that you are never too young to start rereading.16.

Despite working long hours at these jobs, London was able to read constantly, borrowing travel and adventure books from the library.Once back in California, London became determined to earn a living as a writer. He rented a typewriter and worked up to fifteen hours a day, spinning his Alaskan adventures into short stories and novels.According to legend, London’s piles of rejection slips from publishers grew to five feet in height! ell on the way of creating a new model for spreading through his Beauty Ranch when he died of kidney disease at age 40.

All of above.DIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. Th e children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned(分派)173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents usedstickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.16.The purpose of writing the passage is .A.to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesB.to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietC.to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD.to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents17.The underlined word “backfire”in Paragraph 2 probably means “”. A.shoot from behind the back B.make a lire in the hackyardC.produce an unexpected result D.achieve what was planned18.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B.It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables. C.Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D.Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.19.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?B.By asking questions.C.By giving examples, D.By discussion.20.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B.Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.C.Children are difficult to inspire.D.Parents should give up verbal praise.1234568 9 10 C C D C A D B C D C111213141516171920 D A C B D A C B A B。

A(2017·长沙十校联考)(导学号 58210048)If you look outside,you probably will see some kind of insect.If your first instinct is to kill it,take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment.Entomologists,scientists who study insects,estimate that there are more than 800,000 species of insects found throughout the world.Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful.Mosquitoes,for example,are considered harmful.They bite humans and other animals,and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease.Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.However,the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species.Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain.Many different birds,reptiles,fish and even plants eat insects.There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat.These insects are considered delicious fo od and prized for their high protein,mineral,and vitamin content.Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk,wax,and honey.Of all the insects,perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate(授粉) the plants they visit.Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees,butterflies,moths,flies and wasps that pollinate many crops.In fact,nearly one-third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us,you_should_not_automatically_reach_for_the_bug_spray when you come across an insect.You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings.【语篇解读】本文主要讲了昆虫对于环境有一定的益处,而且益虫要远远多于害虫。

答案:CB(2015·全国卷Ⅰ)The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say“sunshine.”I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C (维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend,but the best part—particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m.to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,the tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a br oken,vine-ripened (蔓上成熟的) promise,I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how at tractive they look in the store,once I get them home they're unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand,ful l of fresh and soft tom atoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal—and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.【语篇解读】文章讲述了作者生活在冬天寒冷的纽约,当有一个到佛罗里达州萨拉索塔一周的机会,作者体验到不同的冬天。
