2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(7)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)According to game maker Hasbro，approximately 750 million people have played the wellknown game Monopoly since it was invented in the 1930s.Charles Darrow is typically credited as the inventor of the world’s most famous board game.However, he likely originated his version of Monopoly from one of several other games similarly involving house buying and selling that were already in existence before the 1930s when he got his patent(专利) for the game.A probable reason that Darrow’s Monopoly became the hugely successful game that still exists today is that he took a great approach to producing it.Other similar games existed, but they had no board or regulation pieces.With the help of his wife and son, who decorated the sets with details, Darrow personally created the pieces and boards that became the first Monopoly game sets.His extra work in creating the entire environment that players needed gave his game something extra that other variations did not have.Darrow had success in selling his games in various parts of the country.Several Philly area stores were the first to carry his game and sell it in large quantities.However, Darrow had difficulty selling his game to the major game producer of the time, Parker Brothers.He was told that his game was too complex and had fundamental errors in its design that would limit its appeal.Eventually, the continued sales he managed on his own forced Parker Brothers to reassess the worth of his game.In the end, the company agreed to produce the game and shortly afterwards it became the bestselling game in the country.That success turned Charles Darrow into a millionaire, which is the heavy irony．Darrow initially began work on Monopoly to help support himself and his family following the financial troubles tied to the stock market crash of 1929.Thus, Charles Darrow became a millionaire by producing a game that allows “regular” people to feel like they are buying and selling real homes and land like millionaires.1．What made Darrow’s Monopoly different from other similar games?A．The way of avoiding financial troubles.B．The safe environment created for players.C．The buying and selling of real homes and land.D．The specific pieces and a playing board in each set.2．The author suggests in Paragraph 3 that ________．A．Monopoly was initially too complex to playB．Darrow failed to make expected profit in PhillyC．certain errors in Monopoly limited its attractionD．some people once doubted Monopoly would be popular3．What does the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph mean?A．Financial gain. B．Unexpected result.C．Marketing plan. D．Unsatisfying reward.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The difficulties in Darrow’s life.B．The comparison of some board games.C．The way to the success of Darrow’s game.D．The business management of Parker Brothers.B(2015·东北三校二模)The National Air and Space Museum in Washington D．C.has thousands of objects on display，including the 1903 Wright Flyer, Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St.Louis, the

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(6)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·石家庄二中一模)We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it.Just today, someone boasted to me that she was so busy that she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks.She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’re in the midst of a bubble.I call it “The More Bubble”．The nature of bubbles is that something is absurdly overvalued until—eventually—the bubble bursts, and we’re left wondering why we were so irrationally animated in the first place.The thing we are overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism.The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and，therefore, what we should be doing.In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of course, we boasted about being busy—it’s code for being successful and important.And our answer to the problem of more is always more.We need more technology to help us create more technologies.We need to shift our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.Luckily, there is a solution to the pursuit of more: the pursuit of less, but better, a growing number of people are making this change.I call these people Essentialists.These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else.These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working)．They created technology-free zones in their homes.They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them.Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their calendars to get important work done.So we have two choices：We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”，or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.1．When the woman said for two weeks she only slept for four hours a night，________．A．she was unsatisfied with her lifestyleB．she was asking for suggestionsC．she took pride in doing soD．she knew few people were like her2．What is Paragraph 4 mainly for?A．The cause and result of “The More Bubble”．B．The advantages of “The More Bubble”．C．The solutions to “The More Bubble”．D．The new trends of “The More Bubble”．3．According to the article, Essentialists are those who ________．A．give up certain things for what matters in lifeB．prefer to change frequentlyC．are tired of information and opinionsD．are eager to become successful and important4．We can infer from the article that the author________“The More Bubble”．A．is supportive of B．is undecided aboutC．disapproves of D．wonders aboutⅡ.完形填空(2015·北京东城区综合练习二)Monday started out great.I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math __1__．Ten minutes later，I sat by my friends on the bus.We were busily chatting about how we spent our__2__when, THUMP! Ryan __3__over someone’s foot and landed flat on his face in the passage between the two rows of seats.Everyone on the bus laughed crazily.Ryan __4__himself up and made his way to an empty seat.He tried to laugh with us, but his face was bright red with__5__．The rest of the morning flew by.I did well in my math test.I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class.It wasn’t long before the __6__bell sounded.I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.Then I couldn’t help but __7__Ryan a few tables over，sitting alone.He caught me looking.I smiled at him quickly and turned away.When we finished eating, we __8__out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we wanted to do at that night’s football game.After a little __9__，we nailed the cheer, so we decided we only needed to__10__through it one last time.Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great.I raised my leg __11__ one last toe(脚趾) touch.RIIIPPP!

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(18)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·沈阳质量检测一)When Shakespeare was twenty-one，he went to London，a very interesting place，to try his fortune.There was the famous London Bridge and St.Paul’s Cathedral，and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then，too，there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world.Knights，scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies，passed by each other.Here，also，were noblemen dressed in gold，from Italy，Spain and France；slaves from Spanish America，sea captains and ministers，soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London，and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare，quick to see and eager to learn.And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents.Each one told its story to him so plainly that，as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods，so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays，he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since；for it is the use of this knowledge of the world，combined with his own genius，that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.1．What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there?A．Dirty and small.B．Strange and interesting.C．Infamous and terrible.D．Familiar and modern.2．Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?A．Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.B．Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.C．Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.D．Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.3．What does the underlined word “one”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Crowd.B．Sight.C．Face.

They want you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating.Burping would show that you like your food.In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say，“Excuse me，please.”In many places people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite，you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one. People will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.5．People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in ________．A．Mongolia B．an East African townC．Polynesia D．Arabia6．In an East African town，people try not to see you.This is because ________．A．they are not your friendsB．they don’t want to talk with youC．it is good mannersD．they are waiting for you to talk with them7．Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Which should be a supporting paragraph to the idea?A．The first one.

第十八组(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015·河北七校高三联合考试)High heels，coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported，women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44 percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels.Being keen on a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicles.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their cars or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or an empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedals.However，it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car; man’s best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(擦伤) or miss on the road due to their dogs’ wandering fre ely，climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time，according to the poll of 2，000 British motorists.The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of ￡ 261.47 for the damage caused by every crash.Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midlands and Wales.Janet Connor，a managing director，said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly，as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of waste materials.She said，“The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are wellknown but as the evidence suggests，those within the car are often forgotten.”1．What mistake do women drivers most probably make while driving?A．They wear expensive clothes.B．They wear shoes with high heels.C．They drink too much coffee in cars.D．They take their dogs without tying them.2．Those who like drinking coffee often have accidents because________．A．the coffee may make them feel faintB．the coffee may make the car smell terribleC．empty coffee cups may make the brake failD．deserted bottles look the same as brake pedals3．Why shouldn’t drivers put their dogs in the car while driving?A．Dogs may bark loudly if seeing traffic lights.B．Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.C．Dogs may break the windows to get fresh air.D．Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.4．We can mainly learn from the passage that ________．A．people often neglect the dangers outside the carB．accidents will be avoided if cars are cleaned regularlyC．dangers within the car should be given more attention toD．only 10% of the drivers remember to keep their cars cleanⅡ.任务型阅读[2015·浙江省高考命题研究专家原创卷(三)]A．Halloween always falls on the evenings of October 31st.B．You are welcome to take part in the Halloween party.C．Another impressive feature is the carved pumpkins.D．Halloween is the most significant festival in the world.E．You may wonder why kids dress that way.F．In this festival you should follow some principles.Halloween is a time to celebrate the bountiful harvest as we prepare for the winter. Coupled with this is the inescapable and memorable night of Halloween when children dress up in costumes and start to trek through the neighborhood looking for sweet treats. The Halloween cry of “trickortreat” resonates through the night.1．________In old days, it was thought that on Halloween night, ghosts would return to this world looking for prey. In order to avoid being recognized by these demons, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark, so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. Nowadays the adults have gradually abandoned the practice of dressing up in costumes based on the fact that they can handle the offense quite easily, but the tradition still remains for children who are more likely to become the targets of the returning ghosts.2．________Legend has it that this day marked the end of summer and the harvest. This day also marks the beginning of the dark and cold winter. This time is often associated with death. Many “spinetingling”stories are told during the week preceding Halloween to create a frightening atmosphere. We hear many ghost stories and scary stories involving cemetery tenants rising out of their graves to stalk (跟踪) people and we often hear about “bloodsucking” vampires searching for a bloody drink to help them maintain immortality. Of course, these are all superstitions, not real stories, but it gets people into the spirit of Halloween.3．________For instance, children start roaming the neighborhood until around 6 p．m. and usually continue ringing door bells and knocking on doors until around 9 p．m.. Also, there is an unwritten rule that children should only go to houses that have outside lights on as a signal that the children are welcome to come and “trickortreat ”. In addition, after shouting “trickortreat”， the children’s expectation is that they will be showered with tasty delicious sweet candy. Chocolate seems to be the favorite choice. Last but not least, supermarkets and drugstores carry a wide variety of sweets just for Halloween. One quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U．S. is purchased for Halloween. Americans spend an estimated 6 billion dollars, thus making it the second largest commercial holiday.4．________This gourdlike orange fruit gets inscribed with ghoulish faces and is frequently illuminated with candles. The practice of decorating a “jacko’lantern( 南瓜灯)” comes from an Irish folk legend about a man named “Stingy Jack” who tricked the devil a couple of times. When “Jack” died, God did not want such a person in heaven, thus throwing “Jack” back to the devil who in turn pun ished Jack. Jack’s punishment was to forever roam the earth with a coal burning inside the gourd. Just for this very reason you can find a number of carved pumpkins hanging on the doorsteps or on the porches everywhere.5．________International Student and Scholar Services will be hosting our annual Halloween party on Friday, November 1, 6 p．m. to 8：30 p．m..Please come dressed up in your scariest costume, and if you have children, please bring them. There is no doubt that all of the participants will have a wonderful time in this party and if you miss it I am sure that you will regret it for a long time. If you still have some questions about the party to be held in honor of the festival, please see theattached poster.Ⅲ.书面表达假设你是李华，你的朋友Tom邀请你5月20日去他们学校参加文化交流活动并向外国朋友介绍中国的传统绘画。

It’s not something I’d like to do，so I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined (实行检疫) before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30% of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that，do we?Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crop since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material.”The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa.That’s where 75% of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.Professor Paul Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.The scientist says，“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”5．What is the text mainly about?A．Safeguarding cocoa seeds.B．Planting cocoa seeds worldwide.C．Keeping cocoa seeds in greenhouse.D．Finding the new market for cocoa.6．The institution’s cocoa project is to ________．A．have cocoa skin removedB．offer more jobs to peopleC．ensure the quality of cocoaD．supply cocoa for two million people7．What does the last paragraph tell us?A．The taste of chocolates is changing.B．Demand for cocoa is increasing continually.C．People are concerned about cocoa varieties.D．Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.8．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To educate.

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(13)(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·东北三校二模)To most people，noise pollution is a jet flying over their head.For one Spanish woman，it is a neighbor playing the piano.The woman has taken her neighbor to court.Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.In a country known for its noisiness，the case has raised eyebrows.Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain，but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of.At the trial，Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin，who lives below her.Martin，27，didn’t admit that she played at home that often，saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.On the first day of the trial，the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”．Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems，including insomnia(失眠)，anxiety，and panic attacks.She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels(分贝) higher than the limit.City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the room.The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.The court hasn’t made a final decision.A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.1．Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because ________．A．Martin’s playing the piano damaged her healthB．Bosom suffered from heart attackC．Martin refused to take regular classes in other townsD．Martin flew a jet over her head2．How did Laia Martin respond to the complaints?A．She stopped playing the piano.B．She soundproofed the room.C．She didn’t admit she played at home.D．She took her neighbor to court.3．Which of the following may probably be the best title for the passage?A．A 7-year Sentence Caused by the PianoB．Pianist Charged with Noise PollutionC．Health Problems of a Spanish WomanD．Actions Against Noise by Local AuthorityB(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测一)As the November cold begins to take control in the UK，Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.Celebrated on November 5，Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605，when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament(议会) with barrels of gunpowder.Now，it is traditional for Britons to make a fake(假的)“Guy”every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country，you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs，then fill them with tar(焦油) and set them on fire.And in Lewes，a town in the southern English county of Sussex，different groups of bonfire societies parade(游行) the streets，each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot(吉祥物)，which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”，a dish made from slowcooked beef mince，tomatoes，kidney beans，onions，and spices.It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese.It’s not the most elegant dish in the world but it’s sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.But for many Britons，the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee(太妃糖)”，which is also known as “plot toffee”，named after Guy Fawkes’plot to blow up parliament.The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.Whether it’s the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone，the hearty winter food，or the excuse to light a huge fire，Bonfire Night has something for everyone.Just watch out for those rockets!4．What is Guy Fawkes Night?A．A person to explode the parliament.B．A guy to be controlled in the UK.C．A symbol for Britons to enter winter.D．A dish famous to British people.5．Why do people have “chili con carne”？A．It’s the most elegant.B．It’s full of energy.C．It’s on jacket potatoes.D．It’s slowly cooked.6．The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”．A．celebrationsB．fireworksC．performancesD．bonfires7．What is the text mainly about?A．The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.B．The introduction of a traditional food.C．A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.D．Activities on the night of November 5.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河南三市第二次调研)Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life.Unfortunately，many people do not know how to overcome failure，and they are stopped by it when they encounter one.Rise up and don’t regretWhen we fail，we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it.But that should not be the case.The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing.Rise up and move on.1.________Understand that failure is there to bring you wisdomFailure is there not without a reason.2.________ Each failure you encounter increases your wisdom and brings you one step closer to success.If you have this，you will see failure differently.You will see each failure as an opportunity to learn.3．________ While failure brings you wisdom，how much wisdom you will get depends entirely on your ability to harvest it.So don’t waste the opportunity to learn.If you fail to do this，you may waste a lot of time by repeating the same mistakes in the future.Don’t give up；maybe you are only one step away from successThe thought of giving up is temptation，especially when we have failed over and over again.But who knows that maybe you are only one step away from success？Will you abandon the long journey you have passed when you are already so close to your destination？4.________ Maintain your enthusiasm5．________ Otherwise your later effort will have less and less power.Many people who achieve great undertakings have no special quality.They are just ordinary people with extraordinary attitude.Let’s be one of them.A．You should keep on trying and do it with the same enthusiasm as when you first began.B．So hold on tight and don’t give up.C．It’s there to give you the wisdom you need to succeed.D．Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.E．If you can dream it，you can also do it.F．Learn as much as possible from the failure.G．The regret lies not in doing，but in not doing.Ⅲ.短文改错(2015·山西大学附中第五次月考)One year ago，I was in great trouble.I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it.But I failed to pass the mid-term examination，which made me

your progress by one examination.”He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results.I took my grandpa’s advice.Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is much better as before.From my experience，I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.第十一组Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(17)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·陕西质量检测二)Dear Mr.Wolfson，The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated(敬业的) community service.The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson.I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator(协调员)．I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor.During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees.As far as I know，she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work.I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.Just last year alone，she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes FundRaising Banquet.In addition，she is a weekly driver for the MealsonWheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis.Whenever a project or committee needs her，she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly.I’m sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years，they will confirm Elizabeth’s community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here.By the way，Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this.She is a humble(谦虚的) person，and if she were aware of it，she would not allow me to send it.I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action.Then last week，I noticed in the paper that you sponsor(主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth.In fact，I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!I urge you to correct that omission(疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.Sincerely，Linda Sullivan 1．Linda is Elizabeth’s ________．A．friend and colleague B．neighbor and leaderC．neighbor and worker D．friend and neighbor2．From the letter we know that Linda ________ Elizabeth much.A．depends on B．looks down uponC．ignores D．respects3．According to the letter，Elizabeth ________．A．wants to be asked to take part in the annual eventB．contributes much to the communityC．has been invited to the annual dinnerD．has been given a lot of honors4．What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter?A．He knows Linda quite well.B．He is a careless person.C．He tries something to reward those who have done much community service.D．He tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.B(2015·河南省实验中学检测)Being an astronaut sounds cool，doesn’t it？In space，they get to do some pretty amazing things，like floating in zero gravity.However，there are also plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environment，and that’s very sad.What’s worse，they can’t even let their sadness show—because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course，astronauts can still produce tears.But crying is much more difficult in space，reported The Atlantic in January.Without gravity，tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth.This means that when you cry in space，your tears have nowhere to go—they just stick to your eyes.Astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks.“Tears，”he said，“don’t fall off your eyes...They just kind of stay there.”Besides making your vision unclear，this can also cause physical pain.Back on Earth，tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes.But that’s not the case in space.The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes，and when tears suddenly wet the eyes，it can cause pain rather than comfort.“My right eye is painful like crazy.”Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space，astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears.Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away.Another choice is to just wait—“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around，”astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things—things like crying—that we are so used to on Earth.We usually take them for granted，until they become a problem in a totally different environment，like space.There，astronauts can’t talk to each other directly.They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways.They can’t even burp(打嗝)，because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach.If they do burp，they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach，according to the UK National Space Center.Thus，perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say，“Gravity，you’re the best.”5．What can we conclude from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B．Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.C．Tears produced in space flow down more slowly.D．Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.6．What effect do tears have on astronauts?A．They cause physical pain.B．They bring comfort to them.C．They make their vision clearer.D．They float around and cause trouble.7．What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A．Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.B．Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.C．Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.D．Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.8．What’s the last but one paragraph mainly about?A．Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B．Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C．Why burping is impossible in space.D．Things that humans can’t do without gravity.Ⅱ.完形填空(2015·河南三市第二次调研)Please Dress Me in RedI have

湖北黄冈市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（18）及（解析）答案阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we a re beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse3. According to the text, recycling.A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA2016高考英语阅读理解集训。

2016年全国高考英语优化习题集(18)(建议用时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·沈阳质量检测一)When Shakespeare was twenty-one，he went to London，a very interesting place，to try his fortune.There was the famous London Bridge and St.Paul’s Cathedral，and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then，too，there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world.Knights，scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies，passed by each other.Here，also，were noblemen dressed in gold，from Italy，Spain and France；slaves from Spanish America，sea captains and ministers，soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London，and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare，quick to see and eager to learn.And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents.Each one told its story to him so plainly that，as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods，so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays，he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since；for it is the use of this knowledge of the world，combined with his own genius，that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.1．What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there?A．Dirty and small.B．Strange and interesting.C．Infamous and terrible.D．Familiar and modern.2．Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?A．Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.B．Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.C．Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.D．Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.3．What does the underlined word “one”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Crowd.B．Sight.C．Face.

They want you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating.Burping would show that you like your food.In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say，“Excuse me，please.”In many places people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite，you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one. People will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.5．People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in ________．A．Mongolia B．an East African townC．Polynesia D．Arabia6．In an East African town，people try not to see you.This is because ________．A．they are not your friendsB．they don’t want to talk with youC．it is good mannersD．they are waiting for you to talk with them7．Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Which should be a supporting paragraph to the idea?A．The first one.
