四川省岳池县2016高考英语二轮复习阅读理解训练（4）阅读理解二轮训练（4）社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2013重庆,D)改编Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”,a short poem written around 700,is generally reg arded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,akind of sub-ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.1.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is .A.always energeticcking in livelinessC.shaped like a squareD.favored by ancient poets2.What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?()A.To describe the movement of the waves.B.To show the strength of the storm.C.To represent the power of the ocean.D.To prove the vastness of the sea.3.What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?()A.Living together.B.Growing fast.C.Moving harmoniously.D.Breathing peacefully.4.In the last paragraph,the Atlantic is compared to .A.a beautiful and poetic placeB.a flesh and blood personC.a wonderful worldD.a lovely animal语篇解读:本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。

阅读理解二轮训练（2）社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2013福建,E)改编A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex G oldberg,the program’s founder,said:“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a d ifference to our youth.For example,we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“ Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop,it was amazing,” he said,“ We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each a fternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit .1.The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to .A.train staff for world-famous firmsB.offer job opportunities to young adultsC.provide youth with unique experiencesD.equip the unemployed with different skills2.According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to .A.the lack of support from firmsB.the cultural differencesC.the effect of unemploymentD.the shortage of money3.According to the passage,the forum focused on how youth can .A.build up their confidence at schoolB.find work experience opportunitiesC.improve their social skills for the futureD.play an active role in the change of society4.We can learn from the passage that .A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB.Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC.the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday5.What would be the best title for the passage?( )A.Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young InspirationsB.Young People Find a World of OpportunityC.Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to ParisD.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades语篇解读:本篇为说明文。

四川省岳池县2016高考英语阅读理解寒假【二轮】统编(1)及参考答案

四川省岳池县2016高考英语阅读理解寒假【二轮】统编（1)及参考答案【高考英语模拟题】A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand。

It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost。

At his age，he should have been close to Antarctic，swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川)。

But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand。

It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way。

Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin。

They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn't be frightened。

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题(二)配答案

2016年高考新课标卷寒假考练--英语试题（二）配答案一、阅读部分：AMother and I start our new life in America. In the morning we travel together to work. Rising at the crack of dawn, I love the adventure of tiptoeing around in the dark living room where we sleep, whispering to each other so as not to wake Aunt Celia and Uncle Martin in the bedroom, then leaving the house soundlessly and making our way to the subway station in semidarkness. By the time we reach Kings Highway, the rising day throws a mysterious light on the empty and quiet avenue ordinarily crowded with human traffic, and on the shuttered(有百叶窗的) storefronts and fruit stands now cozily(舒适的) wrapped in layers of canvas(帆布). There is a sense of mystery---a sense of power---in being here before the rest of the world awakens…as if witnessing the beginning of time.We love traveling together on t he subway, Mother and I. It’s fun to observe our fellow subway riders, exchange jokes in Hungarian, play guessing games as to their identities, their ages, and their jobs and make bets as to where they’d be getting off.In a couple of weeks Mother becomes familiar with the train route, and she no longer allows me to accompany her.“But I’ll miss the fun of traveling together in the morning,” I protest.“So will I. But it comes at a sacrifice. In order to accompany me, you must rise an hour earlier, losing an hour’s sleep. You need that extra hour of sleep.” Mother is firm, and I have no choice but to comply and regretfully give up on our morning fun.“I hope you’ll have time to teach me English. Now that I have a job and travel alone on the subway, I’ll need to improve my vocabulary. I don’t want to depend on you every time I need to make a phone call in English, or want to take public transport.”“Okay, madam,” I agree in a happy, joking tone. “How about today? Let’s have our first lesson this evening!”Every evening I ask Mother a lot of questions about vocabulary and grammar, and indeed in a couple of weeks she learns enough to do marketing on her own and travel freely by subway.1. Which detail from the text shows that the author is excited about her life in America?A. Her resistance to the growing independence of her mother.B. Her acceptance of why she can no longer accompany her mother.C. Her description of rising early to ride the subway with her mother.D. Her discipline to work on language lessons every day with her mother2. Which of the following describes the author’s attitude towards her mother?A. Supportive.B. Disrespectful.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.3. The text is most probably taken from ___________.A. a review of a bookB. a book about one’s life storyC. a travel magazineD. a handbook for foreigners.BWelcome to the world of multitasking---a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed multitasking is a disastrous idea.One of the opponents(反对者) of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they are worse at managing their memory,” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world; but you can’t do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an importan t problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And according to Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said, “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He fears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world---environmental issues, financial issues---require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And it’s no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don’t multitask.4. According to Dr. Nass, multitasking ________.A. contributes to memorizing various thingsB. may result in losing the next generation of great thinkersC. can be performed using digital toolsD. makes the performance emotionally affected only5. From the passage, we can tell ________.A. we mistakenly believe that we’re doing better by switching between tasksB. multitasking does harm to us in every areaC. for every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal more quicklyD. the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless6. Which of the following is a multitasking addict?A. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.B. You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.C. You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.D. You turn your cell phone to silence when you are out to dine with friends.7. The author mainly wants to tell us _________.A. it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayB. it takes longer for us to become a great thinkerC. we shouldn’t be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasksD. the less you switch, the better you doCAsk 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 are beginning to realize 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.8. 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.9. The author uses figures in Para graph 2 to show.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging overuse10. 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 land11. 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.DTeen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直感). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts,decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.12．Which of the following is forbidden when dating according to the passage?A．Going out for dating with a stranger.B．Knowing the plan for the evening.C．Telling your parents about the date.D．Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.13．The underlined word “date ” in the third paragraph might mean ________.A．a time B．a plan C．a person D．a place14．If you feel uncomfortable, you should NOT _______.A．leave as soon as possible B．tell your date what you are thinkingC．stay calm D．trust yourself15．The best title for this passage might be .A．Be careful with your friends B．Never go out datingC．Safety measures for teen dating D．Dating out is always dangerous七选五Learn to Perfect Your Email Writing SkillsEmail is a double-edged sword．16．Here are some suggestions you need to know about writing emails in a professional setting.●Focus on the receiverBe clear about why you are emailing this person；briefly state it at the beginning. At the end of the email，also let them know that you’re available to be of help to them．●17If you foresee the information the receiver wants to know，you’ll remove the need for more emails．To be comprehensive，think of who，what，when，where，why，and how for each point you want to make．Use bullet points(项目符号)，lists，or separate short paragraphs to highlight information，and remember to include attachments mentioned in the body of the email．●Be accurate and specificThis tip applies to the body of the email and the subject line，which should never be blank．Include double-cheek dates，times，and names．Firstly，clarify time zones．18．●Be free of grammatical mistakesDon’t rely only on the spelling and autocorrect function．19．Then re-read your email．●Use the proper tone20．Are you being too demanding，inflexible，formal or informal? All of these tones can be unpleasant．Ensure a personal connection and show some humanity．Being too informal in your language might detract(贬低)from your authority．At the sametime，being too formal can make it difficult for the receiver to find a human or emotional connection with you．Finding the right tone can be, tough，but it is achievable．A．Don’t separate you and your receiver from the greater pictur eB．Be comprehensive，yet directC．It’s fast and convenient，but your words are permanent and may bother you D．Make sure the day of the week matches the calendar dateE．Consider context and world eventsF．Read the email by yourself to check for spelling, grammar, and word usage errors G．Put yourself in the shoes of the receiver and feel your tone22.

It offers evidence dogs use information not only from peo ple's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions w ith one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for som e of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he as ked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enth usiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to t he other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gro ss (in Spanish; the study was conducted in ). After these inter actions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the d og go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the do gs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman wit h the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. The y prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned to ward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the human s around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table an d had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially app roach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch fo r the interaction between two people, not just how a person re acts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to wit h a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in t he journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C. The assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.44. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Interactions between two people confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. Dogs have good interactions with one another.D. The findings of some studies are controversial.45. Which is the best title for the passage?A.

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks，to keep a balanced ecosystem.Sharks, in particular，are “in” these days。

Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction -- up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu。

Other plants，pine trees for example, protect them—selves by narrowing their water transport cells,which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles．The third stratef；yi8 also the most extreme．Some plants；die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer．However, these smart strategies were developed \nmry8lowly－over millions of years of evolution．This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human—caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades．Scientists are hoping to find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change．1．What is the text mainly about？A．Different ways for people to keep warm．B．How plants live through the freezing winter．C．How plants develop the 8tratef；ies to keep warm*D．The ways to save plants from the cold,2．If the water transport from roots to leaves 18 blocked，．A．the plant will suffer from f’rostbiteB．air bubbles will be formedC．the plant’s l iving tissues will be damagedD．the plant will be killed3．Oak trees protect themselves by ．A．stopping the water transport from roots to leaves B．dropping their leaves to grow seedsC．slowing the flow of water from roots to leavesD．storing enough water in the roots4．What does the underlined phrase “sets i n” mean in Paragraph3?A．stops B．begins C．leavesD．returns5．What is the main idea of the last paragraphA．Plants can，easily adapt to climate change．B．Scientists are making efforts to save plants．C．Climates change is a great threat to plants．D．Plants are developing new strategies to survive．【参考答案】1—5、BDADCAMy three—year—old granddaughter，Tegan，went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents。

四川岳池县2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解统练（3）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.（Pageants）Pageants are usually conceived on a fairly large scale，often under the auspices of some local or civic authority or at any rate in connection with local groups of some kind。

This sometimes means that there is an allocation of funds available for the purpose of mounting the production，though unfortunately this will usually be found to be on the meager side and much ingenuity will have to be used to stretch it so that all performers can be adequately clothed。

Most pageants have a historical flavour as they usually come about through the celebration of the anniversary of some event of historic importance，or the life or death of some local worthy。

Research among archives and books in the public library will probably prove very useful and produce some workable ideas which will give the production an especially local flavour. From the first economy will have to be practiced because there are usually a great number of people to dress. Leading characters can be considered individually in the same way as when designing for a play; but the main body of the performers will need to be planned in groups and the massed effect must be always borne in mind。

(Cryptic Coloring)Cryptic coloring is by far the commonest use of color in the struggle for existence. It is employed for the purpose of attack (aggressive resemblance or anticryptic coloring ) as well as of defense (protective resemblance or procryptic coloring ). The fact that the same method concealment, may be used both for attack and defense has been well explained by T.Belt who suggests as an illustration the rapidity of movement which is also made use of by both pursuer and pursued, which is similarly raised to a maximum in both by the gradual dying out of the slowest through a series of generations. Cryptic coloring is commonly associated with other aids in the struggle for life. Thus well-concealed mammals and birds, when discovered, will generally endeavor to escape by speed and will often attempt to defend themselves actively. On the other hand, small animals which have no means of active defense, such as large, numbers of insects, frequently depend upon concealment alone. Protective resemblance is far commoner among animals than aggressive resemblance, in correspondence with the fact that predaceous forms are as a rule much larger and much less numerous than their prey. In the case of insectivorous Vertebrata and their prey such differences exist in an exaggerated form. Cryptic coloring, whether used for defense of attack, may be either general or special. In general resemblance the animal, in consequence of its coloring, produces the same effect as its environment, but the conditions do not require any special adaptation of shape and outline. General resemblance is especially common among the animal inhabiting some uniformly colored expanse of the earth’s surface, such as an ocean or a desert. In the former, animals of all shapes are frequently protected by their transparent blue color, on the latter, equally diverse forms are defended by their sandy appearance. The effect of a uniform appearance may be produced by a combination of tints in startling contrast. Thus the black and white stripes of the zebra blend together at a little distance, and “their proportion is such as exactly to match the pale tint which arid ground possesses when seen by moonlight.” Special resemblance is far commoner than general and is the form which is usually met with on the diversified surface of the earth, on the shores, and in shallow water, as well as on the floating masses of algaeon the surface of the ocean, such as the Sargasso Sea. In these environments the cryptic coloring of animals is usually aided by special modifications of shape, and by the instinct which leads them to assume particular attitudes. Complete stillness and the assumption of a certain attitude play an essential part in general resemblance on land; but in special resemblance the attitude is often highly specialized, and perhaps more important than any other element in the complex method by which concealment is effected. In special resemblance the combination of coloring, shape, and attitude is such as to produce a more or less exact resemblance to some one of the objects in the environment, such as a leaf of twig, a patch of lichen, a flake of bark. In all cases the resemblance is to some object which is of no interest to the enemy or prey respectively. The animal is not hidden from view by becoming indistinguishable from its background as in the case of general resemblance, but it is mistaken for some well-know object.In seeking the interpretation of these most interesting and elaborate adaptations, attempts have been made along two lines. The first seeks to explain the effect as a result of the direct influence of the environment upon the individual (G.L.L.Buffon), or by the inherited effects of efforts and the use and disuse of parts (marck). The second believes that natural selection produced the result and afterwards maintained it by the survival of the best concealed in each generation. The former suggestion breaks down when the complex nature of numerous special resemblances is appreciated. Thus the arrangement of colors of many kinds into an appropriate pattern requires the cooperation of a suitable shape and the rigidly exact adoption of a certain elaborate attitude. The latter is instinctive and thus depends on the central nervous system. The cryptic effect is due to the exact cooperation of all these factors; and in the present state of science, the only possible hole of an interpretation lies in the theory of natural selection, which can accumulate any and every variation which tends toward survival. A few of the chief types of methods by which concealment is effected may be briefly described. The colors of large numbers of vertebrate animals are darkest on the back and become gradually lighter on the sides, passing into white on the belly. Abbot H. Thayer has suggested that this gradation obliterates the appearance of solidity, which is due to shadow. The color harmony, which is also essential to concealment, is produced because the back is of the same tint as the environment (e. g.earth), bathed in the cold blue-white of the sky, while the belly, being cold blue-white and bathed in shadow and yellow earth reflections produces the same effects. This method of neutralizing shadow for the purpose of concealment by increased lightness of tint was first suggested by E.B.Poulton in the case of a larva and a pupa, but he did not appreciate the great importance of the principle. In an analogous method an animal in front of a background of dark shadow may have part of its body obliterated by the existence of a dark tint, the remainder resembling, e.g., a part of a leaf. This method of rendering invisible any part which would interfere with the resemblance is well know in mimicry.1. The black and white stripes of the zebra are most useful form[A]. hunters. . nocturnal predators[C]. lions and tigers. [C]. insectivorous Vertrbrata2. Aggressive resemblance occurs when[A]. a predaceous attitude is assumed.. special resemblance is utilized.[C]. an animal relies on speed.[D]. an animal blends in with its background.3.

Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to fail ure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.LanguageA knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and AttitudesValues are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. V alues and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and MannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast.1. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people ______.A. to be more open with their customersB. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture2. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ______.A. mannersB. valuesC. attitudesD. customs3. What would be the best title for the text?A. Misconceptions in BusinessB. Basic Beliefs in BusinessC. International Business CultureD. Successful International Business4. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people ______.A. how to take a right attitude in businessB. how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC. how to use a local language in businessD. how to act politely and properly in business参考答案1—4、BCCB2016高考阅读理解。

Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do –anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that t he children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism and violence – so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of communication,but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.1.What is the biggest harm of TV?[A] It deprives people of communication with the real world.People become lazy.[C] People become dependent on second-hand experience.[D] TV c onsumes a large part of one’s life.2.In what way can people forget TV?[A] Far away from civilization.To a mountain.[C] By the sea.[D] In quiet natural surroundings.3.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?[A] Let them watch the set.Put them in the living room.[C] Let them watch the rubbish.[D] Let them alone.4.What does the first sentence in the first paragraph mean?[A] We found it difficult to occupy our spare time.We become addicted to TV.[C] What we used to do is different from now.[D] We used to enjoy civilized pleasures.Vocabulary1.goggle 转动眼珠，瞪眼goggle box （英俚）电视机2.gulp 狼吞虎咽3.telly 电视机4.pacifier 平息者，抚慰者。

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop inc reased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.1．More and more students favor laptops for notetaking because they can________.A．write more notes B．digest concepts betterC．get higher scores D．understand lectures better2．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be________.A．skillful B．mindless C．thoughtful D．tireless 3．The author of the passage aims to________.A．examine the impor tance of longterm memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops4．The passage is likely to appear in________.A．a newspaper advertisementB．a computer textbookC．a science magazineD．a finance report答案：【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

四川省岳池县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练（1）及答案社会文化（阅读理解）由(2013辽宁,D)改编“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785,“some kind of fly,or bug,had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.”But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that,Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century,and Americans had already created lightning-bug (萤火虫).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language,leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person,referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term,sports fans used to be called racing bugs,baseball bugs,and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object,for example,a bug-shaped car.The bug could also be a burglar alarm,from which comes the expression to bug,that is,“to install (安装) an alarm”.Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to o thers’ conversations.Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant “to cheat”,and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison.In 1878 he explained b ugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product.In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that .A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century2.What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?()A.Explanation.B.Finding.C.Origin.D.Fault.3.The passage is mainly concerned with .A.the misunderstanding of the word bugB.the development of the word bugC.the public views of the word bugD.the special characteristics of the word bug语篇解读:本文为一篇说明文。

ADear Alcohol,You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the painyou've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Anonymous24. What is the author's purpose in writing to alcohol?A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.C.

I then began to wonder about the perfect wedding dress, hoping that it would fit me. Even at the age of 23, I had gone through my share of dieting.I am an emotional eater and I knew that at 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, I wasn’t at my healthiest. My mother had been doing Weight Watchers for some time and was rapidly seeing results without starving herself. She shared her books with me and explained the program: estimate your daily target based on your weight and other factors, write down everything you eat and move! The longer I stuck to it the more I noticed a difference in the way I enjoyed food. I soon began to like eating fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of chocolate bars and chips. My mother and I went on walks together and kept each other in check. Unsurprisingly, I lost twenty pounds soon and looked amazing in my wedding dress.I buy healthy foods, replace ice cream and faithfully keep a food journal. I exercised and take evening walks. Because I have a hard time reaching for something healthy by myself, I bought a Weight Watchers cookbook and use it to prepare our meals. I use small plates and bowls to trick myself into believing there is more food than the serving size.It’s been hard to discipline myself not to eat badly. But when I find myself having a desire for strawberries instead of chocolate, I know it’s all worthwhile.21．The author successfully lost twenty pounds ____________．A．by walking and eating less every day B．by only eating fruits and vegetablesC．under her doctor’s direction D．with the help of her mother22．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．How to prepare healthy food．B．The ways of eating less food．C．The role exercise plays in keeping fit．D．What the author does to keep healthy．23．We know from the last paragraph that the author ____________．A．likes strawberries mostB．has formed healthy eating habitsC．can’t resist chocolateD．finds keeping a healthy diet easyCJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back” aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded（超过）100 million yuan ($16.11 million).Web celebrities and many fans even posted topics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, at which heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tell s a not-so familiar story.

What makes a true hero is not just helping people when one has the power, but having the courage to stand up against the evil even without power. And this is what the film is about. When the hero loses his power and armor, when he is nothing more than an ordinary monkey, what would he do to protect the one he loves?

Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who f elt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk(长牙). The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one of the elephant’s legs.The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own exper ience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm（不冷不热的）water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot !24.
