高考题型提能练(九)Module 3Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·郑州质量预测) In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music.Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions.Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas:the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.1.Scientists are studying music because ________.A.music can be used for medical treatmentsB.music plays a very important role in our livesC.our brains can process music in different waysD.music education has received a lot of attention2.According to the Canadian study, which children had increased IQ scores?A.Those who already had high IQs.B.Those who had always played music.C.Those who could not play any instrument.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.3.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A.Spatial reasoning.B.Alzheimer's.C.The amygdale and hippocampus.D.The medial prefrontal cortex.4.What can be the best title for the text?A.Music and health B.Music and the mindC.Music and education D.Music and instrumentsB(2016·包头测评)According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender (性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association inSan Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross­section of over­50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons reduce their relative care­giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggests that sons pass on parent care­giving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full­time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.5.According to the passage, what's the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?A.Education.B.Gender.C.Career. D.Income.6.The US study finds that ________.A.having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsB.sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageC.sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parentsD.sons are unwilling to leave care­giving responsibilities to their sisters7.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?A.People should give up their job to care for the elderly.B.Many care providers work longer hours than others.C.Many care providers have potential health problems.D.People shouldn't pass on caring responsibilities to others.8.The author develops the text by ________.A.explaining social networks of careersB.describing people's experiencesC.comparing different gender behaviorD.analyzing various researches and dataⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·银川质量检测)How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.1.________ A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments.

高考题型提能练(二十五)Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A“Have a nice day!”may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have_a_nice_day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves u s when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day”to you, you may find it heart­warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about me.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.3.By saying “Have a nice day”,a stranger may ________.A.try to be polite to youB.express respect to youC.give his blessing to youD.share his pleasure with you4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Have a Nice Day —a Social CustomB.Have a Nice Day —a Pleasant GestureC.Have a Nice Day —a Heart­warming GreetingD.Have a Nice Day —a Polite Ending of a ConversationB(2016·日照质检)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health,”researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names,”regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said:“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”She said,“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how can I bear to tell them that they're going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”5.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.B.Because they are not good at treating patients.C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.6.What should doctors do according to the regulators?A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.B.Have a close connection with patients in life.C.Always be cold to patients.D.Keep patients at a proper distance.7.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT ________.A.dealing with a lot of life­threatening diseasesB.discussing difficulties of treatments with patientsC.explaining the unavailability of some medicinesD.informing patients of the possible results of the treatments8.Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?A.Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.B.The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.C.It's not the doctors' duty to deal with patients' anxiety.D.Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·河北省邯郸市高三质量检测)This is the season for giving. Looking to get in touch with your generous side? Learn these four habits of truly thoughtful gift givers.1.________Considerate gift giving is as much about planning as it is about how well you know the person.

高考题型提能练(三十二)Module 2Ⅰ.阅读理解Complete the following sentence:“You go to the library to check out ...?” The obvious answer is “books”.But a harder question might be, “What do we mean by ‘books’?”Nowadays, electronic books, or “e­books”,have become more and more popular in American society.The biggest online bookseller Amazon, for example, recently announced that less than four years after introducing them to its catalog, it is now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones.Last week, Pew Internet Project released a survey about the use of e­books by library customers.It found that 12% of Americans aged 16 and older who read e­books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58% of those who have library cards and 53% of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e­books from public libraries, even though three quarters of the libraries offer that service.Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie noted that e­book borrowing is becoming more popular at the same time that publishers, who are selling plenty of e­books and fewer hard-copy editions, are worried that free e­book check­outs at the library will hurt sales.In February, for example, the big publisher Penguin Books stopped supplying new e­books and audio books to libraries.Penguin just reached an agreement to resume supplying one big library system in New York City but not until six months after new titles are released.That way, those who want the latest books will have to buy them.So things are a little murky (阴暗的) in the library world when it comes to electronic books.More and more customers want them, but publishers are giving the libraries a hard time about offering them.Demand is not the problem.Supply may soon be.1.What is the function of the two questions in the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic of the passage.B.To stress the popularity of e­books.C.To show what the author cares about.D.To remind us of the change at the library.2.According to Paragraph 2, what can we know about Amazon?A.It has sold e-books for five years.B.Its e­books are cheaper than printed books.C.It has the best e­books among all libraries.D.Its e­books sell better than printed books.3.We know from the survey done by Pew Internet Project that ________.A.few library customers know how to read e­booksB.the promotional effort at e­book readers is not big enoughC.library customers should be reminded about the e­book serviceD.more library cards should be offered to readers free of charge4.Why did Penguin Books NOT supply new e­books to libraries?A.Because they are not allowed to offer e­books.B.Because they wanted to increase the sales of printed books.C.Because they didn't want their e­books to be copied.D.Because their products were not welcomed there.Ⅱ.完形填空(2016·福州质检)Shortly after I started out as a professional baseball player in the Tri-State League, I was fired. “Frank,”the manager said __1__,“whatever you do after you leave here, put some__2__ and enthusiasm into your work!” Well, that was the __3__ thing I expected him to say.A week later, __4__,I was introduced to the New Haven.

高考题型提能练(一)Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解AAfter spending 13 years raising three boys, Stephanie Connolly wanted to get back into the workforce, but she was worried that her computer skills were obsolete. Not only was the long employment break a concern, but she had never used Microsoft Office programs. Her last employer had only used WordPerfect.A year later, Connolly is so skilled in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that she is helping others, and has just completed a fixed amount of work as a teaching assistant in a computer class. She's also on the job hunt, armed with a new resume (简历), interview skills, and the latest knowledge of how to conduct Internet job searches, fill out Web­based applications, and upload resumes.“I can walk through the doors of the company and feel very confident. The course instructors have given that to me,”said Connolly, who owed her development to classes offered by the Harvard Allston Workforce Development Collaboration (HAWDC).The collaboration is part of a series of programs, and neighborhood improvements that began with an agreement reached between Harvard University and the city of Boston five years ago.The agreement grew out of discussions between the University and the city over the construction of Harvard's science Complex in Allston. Although the construction paused in 2009, the implementation (实施) of the non-construction-related aspects of the agreement has continued.What has meant to the neighbors is the opening of the Harvard Allston Education Portal, a community­centered education facility that serves as Harvard's front door to the neighborhood and access to certain University programs and facilities. Information about the agreement's benefits to the community, as well as about Harvard's deep ties with Cambridge and Boston, is available on the new community­oriented Public Affairs website.1.The underlined word “obsolete”in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.out of reach B.out of dateC.out of order D.out of danger2.Which of the following words can best describe Connolly's attitude to the HAWDC?A.Critical. B.Grateful.C.Indifferent. D.Neutral.3.According to the passage, Harvard Allston Education Portal ________.A.benefits people living in BostonB.raises money from the local peopleC.is merely accessible to college studentsD.makes people concerned about the environment4.In which part of Harvard University's website can we find this passage?A.Multimedia. B.Harvard Science.C.Arts & Culture. D.Campus & Community.B(2016·皖北协作体联考)Students in American schools learn from an early age to give presentations (演讲) as part of their regular classroom activities. Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects th ey bring in to school called “show and tell”,and this training is a basis for later public speaking. Even so, many native English­speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group.Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees. The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment. Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes. One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters. Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings. At the meetings, members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. He began his career in Japan in 1982. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject.English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech. Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non­native speakers. Mr. LeBeau saysa simple approach helps English learners.“The approach that I've taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at a presentation, what's going on, there are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience, all simultaneously (同时). There's what I call the physical message. Physical message is basically body language. It's the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. And then there's also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message. The story message is the content of our presentation. So another way we can think of the story messages is that it's the verbal message, and it's what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.”LeBeau said.5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in an unfriendly environment.B.Toastmasters is an international organization that holds meetings every two weeks.C.Only non­native English speaking adults are afraid to give presentations in front of a large group.D.At the meetings of Toastmasters, members give not only a speech but also advice.6.The book Speaking of Speech by Charles LeBeau is mainly intended for ________.A.children as young as five years oldB.non­native English speakersC.native English speakers onlyD.students in American schools7.What are the three messages given in Mr. LeBeau's simple approach that helps English learners?a.the physical message b.the visual message c.the story message d.the verbal message e.the basic body languageA.abc B.bcdC.abe D.cde8.Which could be the best title for this passage?A.Necessity of Speaking English in Public MeetingsB.Toastmasters, an International OrganizationC.Tips for Public SpeakingD.Charles LeBeau, a Public Speaking Professor and ConsultantⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·南宁市适应性测试)Do you usually feel like you're working hard but still can't reach your study goals? Here are some quick tips to help you study better.Study with a partner or in groups.Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him or her. 1.________Step into your teacher's shoes.Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test?” You have probably experienced a few of your teacher's tests and quizzes by now. 2.________ Teachers have specific types of information that they want you to learn. The structure is usually the same.Paint pictures.3.________ It's harder to remember each piece of a puzzle individually than it is to recall the completed picture. Find ways to connect what you are learning to real life or to other concepts.Feed your brain.A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Those Snickers commercials were not kidding. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. 4.________ Junk foods increase tiredness and lead to the infamous food coma.Take breaks.Your brain is like a muscle. 5.________ It can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15-30-minute blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.A.Learn from them for the next test.B.It needs exercise to make it stronger.C.It's necessary to have a long holiday and have nice food.D.Group studying helps you to engage and process the information more deeply.E.You can build your knowledge structure in the form of pictures.F.Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.G.We need to have a positive mental state if we want to improve our study efficiency.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·宁夏回族自治区银川一中模拟)Scientists have discovered that 1.________ (stay) in the cold could help us lose weight.

Brown fat burns energy, 2.________ helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results 3.________ weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant, 4.________ (comfort) temperatures, our body's need for brown fat has decreased.

People who are obese have 9.________ (low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said: “This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases.” She added: “I f you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could 10.________ (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.”答案:Ⅰ.语篇解读:本文主要讲述了哈佛大学与波士顿共同协作的教育项目使当地居民受益。

高考题型提能练(三十九)Module 3Ⅰ.阅读理解AThis is how language began. The earliest words in English date back at least 8,000 years —and they describe_themselves:_we can work out what the words meant by the shapes our lips form when we say them. “Pe”,for instance, starts with the lips together and separates them with a faint pop, which means “open”. “Mei”means smile and it makes you do exactly that —your mouth stretches wide, showing your teeth. The old sound is at the centre of today's word: smile.Our everyday words have evolved from the language spoken by our Stone Age ancestors. Simple, instinctive and easy to learn, it was born on the steppes (草原) of modern Russia and swept through Europe, Asia and India, changing and developing. We don't know who spoke it first, and it doesn't even have a proper name. Archaeologists call it proto-Indo-European, or IE.Experts have uncovered several hundreds of its basic sounds. Investigate them, and you will uncover details from history and hundreds of connections in our everyday vocabulary.One of th e basic sounds of Stone Age language is “an”. It means to breathe, and it is an imitation of the noise itself. Any creature, human or animal that is alive must be breathing. “Man”is a combination of two concepts as old as time. The “m”sound, for me, myself, and the breathing “an”sound. “Man”is my own living­and­breathing self.Our ancestors' language is the reason why so many English words come in family groups.

高考题型提能练(六)Module 6Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·南宁市调研)There have always been laws against copying other people's ideas. However, when copying was only limited to copying something by hand, problems were solved easily. The solution was always the destruction or removal of the copy. Nowadays, the rise of the Internet has made the issue of intellectual property (知识产权) more complicated.Almost every bit of information can be cut and pasted (粘贴) with a few clicks of a mouse. Many art forms such as writings, films, and music need new protection to ensure that people do not simply transfer them for free. Online illegal copying has been blamed for a huge reduction in the sales of many records because it is hard to convince people to buy something that they can get for free. Even the ideas behind traditional games, such as Scrabble, have been used without the owners' permission.Old laws have been struggling to keep up. While music companies have been successful in persuading courts that action should be taken against people who illegally download music, the law is difficult to carry out. Furthermore, intellectual property rights vary widely from country to country, so it's up for debate which laws apply. Finally, there is the fact that many people simply do not see the act as theft, since once the work has been digitized there is no clear physical object to steal in the first place.All of these issues mean that companies involved with intellectual property —ideas or easily digitized information —are fighting desperately to get people to pay for the information they use, rather than paying for an object like a CD that they use. While the companies have sometimes been successful, the practical barriers to full protection seem insurmountable.Finally, all that concerned parties can do is hope that their few successes scare off others and try to find new ways of making money.1.Why do writings, films, and music need protection?A.They are very expensive.B.They are impossible to copy.C.It is easy to make CDs, books, and movies.D.They are easily able to be transferred when in digital form.2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of carrying out intellectual property rights?A.Laws are not the same in all countries.B.People do not see copying information as theft.C.It is very hard to catch people who are breaking the law.D.Internet service providers do not want to cooperate with the police.3.The underlined word “insurmo untable” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A.extremely expensive B.impossible to overcomeC.against the law D.hard to prove4.What can be inferred from this passage?A.Music and films will be unnecessary in the future.B.New laws are necessary but difficult to put into practice.C.The Internet is likely to become more important in the future.D.Laws are just a way for greedy companies to control their products.B(2016·洛阳市统一考试)Some people like modern art, whileothers say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the TateGallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman,whose name isn't known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78­year-old Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite (有限的)”.Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners toexplain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger's work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had been closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well­known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.However, cleaners don't always throw things away —sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.5.The officials of the museum covered Mr Metzger's work so that ________.A.the visitors couldn't get close in the eveningB.they could get recovered soonC.the cleaners wouldn't make the same mistakeD.they would return to normal6.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People have different opinions on modern art.B.Mr Metzger would be paid much compensation.C.A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001.D.Some modern work is about the chaos of an artist's life.7.The last paragraph is written to show that________.A.cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possibleB.cleaners can't always differ exhibits from rubbishC.exhibits are usually difficult to cleanD.exhibits are not always so beautiful8.What's the best title of the passage?A.Cleaners mistake modern art for rubbishB.Modern art shouldn't be cleanedC.What makes a great work of artD.Cleaners don't always throw things awayⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·甘肃省高考诊断考试)We all have our favourite teachers — those who treat us equally. But what about those teachers we don't know as well (for even don't like much)?You can do lots of things to get a relation with your teacher. First, do the following:1.________ Complete all homework on time. Be attentive, be respectful, and ask questions.2.________ Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn't have decided to teach them! Show the teacher that you care, even if you're not good at math or fluent in French —send the message that you are a dedicated student.You can also schedule a private meeting during a teacher's free period. 3.________ You can ask questions, inquire about a career in the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed one on one than when lecturing in front of the whole class.However, here are some things to avoid when trying to establish a relationship with your teacher:·4.________ Teachers sense when your only motivation is to get special treatment, a college reference, or a job suggestion.·Trying to be teachers' pet. You just attract the teachers' attention on purpose and your classmates may start to hate you.·5.________ It's OK to offer a small sign of thanks to teachers if they've been helpful to you. But a teacher is usually not allowed to accept the wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.A.Giving expensive gifts.B.Show up for class on time.C.Not being sincere.D.Find the practical value in classes.E.Use this time to get extra help.F.Show an interest in the subject.G.Get along better with your teachers.Ⅲ.书面表达假如你在学校举行的英语演讲比赛中获得了好成绩,将在颁奖仪式上发言,请用英语写一篇发言稿,要点如下:1.参赛目标是否实现;2.取得好成绩的两个主要原因;3.演讲中发现的自己的不足之处及改进办法。

高考题型提能练(二十一)Module 3Ⅰ.阅读理解AContrary to popular belief, looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration, researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces, body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.In a study, groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body, but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body, but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy, pleasure, victory, pain and defeat.Using photo-editing software, the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion, and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions, demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.Dr Aviezer, who led the study, said, “These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations.For example, individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if they are trained to process important body language, their performance may significantly improve.”1.People tend to believe that ________.A.someone's body language has an effect on their feelingsB.reading someone's face alone cannot tell their feelingsC.someone's body language is the only clue to their feelingsD.someone's feelings can be read by their facial expressions2.What do we know about the first study?A.The participants were divided into four groups.B.All participants were given the same pictures to see.C.It proved that emotions influence people's body language.D.Participants could tell the players' feelings when seeing the full picture.3.What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?A.Ridiculous.B.Useless.C.Unrealistic. D.Helpful.4.Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the passage?A.Body rather than eyes is the window of the soul.B.Facial expressions can reflect the emotions clearly.C.Researchers link emotions to body language through software.D.Two studies focus on the link between body language and emotions.B(2016·河南六市联考)At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach (蟑螂) flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cockroach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: Was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it's not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jams. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive (本能的) while responses tend to be well thought out.5.What happened in the outdoor restaurant?A.A cockroach was found in a woman's food and then a man found the same problem.B.A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.C.A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.D.A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.6.What's th e meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5?A.Confusion.B.Success.C.Poverty. D.Harmony.7.According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might ________ in your car.A.complain your delayB.feel upset and annoyedC.relax yourself by listening to musicD.expect someone to clear the road8.What does the passage tell us?A.Speak less, do more!B.Actions speak louder than words!C.Mind your manners while in a restaurant!D.Don't react just from your feelings; respond positively!Ⅱ.任务型阅读The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids. 1.________ Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what's appropriate for our family:Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn't a big issue if you're not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.”2.________Don't trust network ratings. A kid­approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn't take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 3.________ There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.4.________ The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I'm aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention (干涉).Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can't shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn't fit exactly with our values. They're going to hear a swear word from time to time —and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we're watching are kissing. 5.________A.If it doesn't feel good, turn it off.B.And be aware of cartoons!C.We can talk about what we see, though, using story­lines to teach lessons when possible.D.The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.E.But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?F.Watch TV with them.G.Still, a little bit of television doesn't hurt and can be fun.Ⅲ.书面表达(2016·辽宁省葫芦岛市模拟)如今,随着智能手机和电子设备的普及,“低头族”现象兴起,人们沉溺于手机等电子设备,因而忽略了自己和他人的沟通交流,甚至在家庭聚餐中也只顾玩手机而不和长辈聊天,老人感到失落万分,请根据下图写一篇英语短文。

Wendy feared the same, but didn't know how to save her son.“Once, after he'd disappeared for more than a month, I found him at a friend's house with a bunch of other users,”she said, “I got down on my hands and knees, begging him to come home. He did, but the next morning he was gone.I don't know what made him do it, but I drove 20 miles to the nearest train station.Graham was headed for Seattle, his pockets full of drugs.If I hadn't gotten there in time, I would never have seen him alive again.”The turning point came in 2007, after Graham was arrested yet again for possession.Wendy got a call from the Montana Drugs Project, which works with local law enforcement (强制执行) to keep track of youth-related crimes so it can help families in trouble.Following a counselor's advice, Wendy hired two men to come to her home in the middle of the night, tie Graham and take him to a treatment program in Thompson Falls, Montana.“I was high when they came and really angry with my mom,”he said, “But if she hadn't done that, drugs would have killed me.”After six months of treatment, Graham, now 19, came back to Kalispell, where he's grown close to Wendy once again.“I still have the desires every day and attend support meetings every night,”he said, “But life is worth living again. My mom thinks that's a mir acle. I guess she is right.”1.The underlined phrase “shoot up”in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A.increase very quickly and suddenlyB.put illegal drugs into the body by using a needleC.kill or injure someone by using a gunD.try to achieve a particular aim2.When the two men came to their home in the middle of the night, Graham ________.A.had just taken drugs and was in the state of excitementB.was sleeping in a high bed above the groundC.had just taken drugs and was in the state of sufferingD.was quarrelling with his mother3.What conclusion can be drawn from the end of the passage?A.Graham is still using drugs now.B.Graham hates his mother very much.C.Graham thinks he can't be saved.D.Graham has come off drugs now.B(2016·银川一中模拟)As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand these lights. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safer. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.Less than ten years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower (流星雨). The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic. If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower as well. Due to the increase in street lights, I would surely be run over by a car.Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution. If you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see wastes electricity. The crew of the space shuttles see an even bigger picture of how extensive the wasted electricity is worldwide.One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the light shines upwards and lights the sky; a total waste of electricity.Additionally, somewhere electricity needs to be produced, and the production of electricitycreates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contributions to light pollution.4.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that the best way to deal with light pollution is ________.A.reducing the output of the lightsB.avoiding the use of unnecessary lightingC.educating people about light pollutionD.inventing environmentally­friendly lights5.Which of the following is the effect of light pollution?A.Many animals species have died out.B.More traffic accidents happen every day.C.The air we breathe may be polluted.D.It is much easier for us to watch meteor showers.6.What can be inferred from the text?A.We are almost at a loss about how to deal with light pollution.B.Global warming results in light pollution in some way.C.Astronauts can't see clearly in space nowadays.D.Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.7.What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A.Helpful tips for surfing the Internet.B.Approaches to decreasing light pollution.C.Benefits of searching on Google.D.More bad effects of light pollution.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·新疆维吾尔自治区适应性检测)How to Take Notes in ClassAs you progress from high school to college and into graduate school, you'll find that your lectures can get much more complex. Sometimes it's not easy taking notes that make sense the next day. 1.________Date your notes.In a perfect world, lecture notes from a single class are kept in a single, dedicated notebook in the correct sequence. But this is the real world! There will be times when you go to biology class (for example), and realize that you've brought the history notebook by accident.2.________ Also — if you ever have to take history notes in your biology notebook — be sure to start on a clean sheet of paper, mark the date, and tear it out. Then place the loose sheet in the correct notebook pocket. No pockets?

高考题型提能练(二十)Module 2Ⅰ.阅读理解Stressed? It is shown in recent research that walking or cycling to work calms you down (traveling by bus or train is also better than driving).“Walking to work reduces stress and improves brain power,”researchers say. Adults who stopped driving the car and started walking or cycling became calmer and found it easier to concentrate. A study of 18,000 Britons found that going to work by train or bus improved their well-being compared with driving.The study, published in the journal Pre v enti v e Medicine, also found that the longer people spent walking or cycling, the happier or less stressed they were. However, stress levels and inability to concentrate worsened if they spent more time in the car.Lead researcher Adam Martin, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School, said that despite the crowds and disruption, walking to bus stops or stations and being able to relax o n the journey “cheer people up”. Two thirds drive to work, 18 percent use public transport, 11 percent walk and 3 percent cycle.A research earlier this year found that commuters (乘公共车辆往返者) had small but statistically significant lower scores on all measures of well-being. The worst effects were witnessed in those whose journeys last between 61 and 90 minutes. But when commuting time reaches three hours or more, the negative effects disappeared, the report said.“The effects of commuting on personal well­being are the greatest for anxiety and happiness, suggesting that commuting affects day­to­day emotions more than overall evaluations of satisfaction with life or the sense that daily activities are worthwhile,”the report stated.Dr Daniel Newman, from Cardiff University's Sustainable Places Research Institute, said, “This report says that many of us, who spend mornings and evenings sitting in traffic jam, already know: commuting can be a chore.”1.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.Driving for long drives people crazy.B.Feeling stressed can be predicted.C.Walking to work helps reduce stress.D.Travelling by bus makes people excited.2.Walking to work is something ________.A.preferred by most peopleB.easier to perform in daily lifeC.making people more creativeD.beneficial to the sense of happiness3.What does the underlined word “chore”probably mean?A.Tiresome task.

This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival,”said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released (免除) from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.”“Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”“A reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered. “There is a chan ge in me.”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago,”she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wish you to understand,”Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things,”he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,”she added quietly.“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,”he said.1.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A.Angry.B.Calm.C.Nervous.

This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.Call for helpCall to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.Get the person to a cooler areaIf there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well­shaded area.Get the water flowingIf the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.Fan the personGetting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.4.When does a person get sunstroke?A.When the body doesn't function.B.When proper care is given immediately.C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A.Call for assistance from others.B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.D.Help the person take some medicine.6.What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.The first aid for sunstroke.B.The causes of sunstroke.C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.7.The text probably comes from a (n) ________.A.guidebook B.book reviewC.medical magazine D.official documentⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·山东省日照市校际联合检测)Everyone can benefit a lot from reading books.

高考题型提能练(九)Module 3Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·郑州质量预测) In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music.It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music.Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.Music education has received a lot of attention.Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills.One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements.The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects.For example, reading notes improves spatial reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions.Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory.The secret lies in the way the brain processes music.One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas:the amygdale and hippocampus.That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago.For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems.People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain.1.Scientists are studying music because ________.A.music can be used for medical treatmentsB.music plays a very important role in our livesC.our brains can process music in different waysD.music education has received a lot of attention2.According to the Canadian study, which children had increased IQ scores?A.Those who already had high IQs.B.Those who had always played music.C.Those who could not play any instrument.D.Those who studied music for a period of time.3.Which of the following is a kind of disease?A.Spatial reasoning.B.Alzheimer's.C.The amygdale and hippocampus.D.The medial prefrontal cortex.4.What can be the best title for the text?A.Music and health B.Music and the mindC.Music and education D.Music and instrumentsB(2016·包头测评)According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender (性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross­section of over­50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.“Sons reduce their relative care­giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”“This suggests that sons pass on parent care­giving responsibilities to their sisters.”In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full­time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.5.According to the passage, what's the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?A.Education.B.Gender.C.Career. D.Income.6.The US study finds that ________.A.having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsB.sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageC.sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parentsD.sons are unwilling to leave care­giving responsibilities to their sisters7.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?A.People should give up their job to care for the elderly.B.Many care providers work longer hours than others.C.Many care providers have potential health problems.D.People shouldn't pass on caring responsibilities to others.8.The author develops the text by ________.A.explaining social networks of careersB.describing people's experiencesC.comparing different gender behaviorD.analyzing various researches and dataⅡ.任务型阅读(2016·银川质量检测)How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love your parents.1.________ A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, journal about your feelings, or talk to a friend. 2.________ Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 3.________ Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them. 4.________ Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 5.________ Seek help if you are being abused in any way.

高考题型提能练(四十一)Module 5Ⅰ.阅读理解The minimum wage is a controversial issue. President Obama declared in his State of the Union speech that he wanted the minimum wage to be raised to D|S9.00 an hour, and this proposal has many supporters and objectors.On the one hand, raising the minimum wage allows the poor to have more consumption options. Giving a minimum­wage employee D|S1.00 in additional spending money per hour can create a significant improvement in annual consumption, helping countless companies and businesses.Besides, forcing employers to invest more money in their workers can pay off in increased production. A worker complaining his or her unfairly low pay may only work just enough to avoid getting fired, but a worker who feels rightly compensated (补偿) will work harder.What's more, improving the conditions and pay of the “working poor”can pay off significantly for the nation as a whole. The workers are less likely to engage in crime and antisocial behaviors if they begin earning proper pay.On the other hand, forcing employers to pay employees more could reduce the number of employees they are able to hire, increasing unemployment. Though some workers would be better compensated, some would be out of work. This increase in unemployment would counteract (抵消) any benefits caused by allowing the remaining workers to receive higher wages. Crime and other social ills would increase, fueled by an artificially elevated unemployment rate.Finally, increasing the minimum wage will drive up prices on all goods and services, harming consumers. A grocery store having to pay an additional D|S1.50 per hour to each employee will be forced to raise prices on its products. Minimum wage employees would have to pay higher prices at stores. As consumer demand dropped due to higher prices, employers might be forced to lay off workers.1.According to the passage, the minimum wage ________.A.works as a reference for employersB.is a common issue all over the worldC.has a great effect on the whole nationD.urgently needs to be raised in America2.What can we know from the last paragraph?A.Raising the minimum wage can make consumers benefit more.B.Employees support the government in raising the minimum wage.C.Raising the minimum wage is bad for improving consumption demand.D.More job opportunities will be created due to raising the minimum wage.3.Which of the following best shows the relation among the paragraphs?A.①-②③④⑤⑥B.①-②③④-⑤⑥C.①②-③④⑤-⑥D.①-②③④⑤-⑥4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.The Importance of the Minimum WageB.The Minimum Wage Policy in AmericaC.The Effects of Raising the Minimum WageD.The Reasons for Raising the Minimum WageⅡ.完形填空(2016·四川省宜宾市高三诊断)I got a guitar for my birthday, and since then I have been struggling.It's kind of sad.To be honest, it is __1__ how many problems are caused by such little things in the life of a teenager.It has awakened another side of myself __2__ me.And it couldn't have happened at a worse time.I'm a senior, I'm going to __3__ soon and I know what college I'm going to.And now I have to deal with this little voice in my head constantly __4__ me that I'm going to be a rock star, not a scientist.A few weeks ago I was given the __5__ simple task of writing a short story.I sat down to __6__ a beautiful work of fiction that would __7__ my teacher and classmates.To be honest, this is an area I generally feel very__8__ in.I really enjoy it and such writing tasks used to take the __9__ amount of time.So I was __10__ to write my story, and across the room lay my beautiful birthday present.“Once upon a time,”I wrote.Then I stopped, __11__ in my chair, and stared for a moment at the __12__.

高考题型提能练(二十三)Module 5Ⅰ.阅读理解Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face­to­face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face, but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.1.The purpose of this text is to ________.A.call for an end to use the smartphone while drivingB.appeal to us to pay attention to communication skillsC.express a concern about the overuse of the smartphoneD.advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone2.The second paragraph is developed by ________.A.giving examples B.listing figuresC.comparing facts D.analyzing the effects3.The author advocates us to make new friends ________.A.by using smartphonesB.in a face­to­face wayC.in different waysD.under a free circumstance4.Over­dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.A.parties and gatherings limit their social circleB.people are more and more narrow­mindedC.people's communication skills are weakenedD.face­to­face communication becomes less importantⅡ.完形填空(2016·洛阳高考模拟)Eight-year-old Owen Hawkins suffers from growth delay and poor eyesight.

高考题型提能练(二十九)Module 5Ⅰ.阅读理解People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality — the driverless car.” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel­efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passenger­side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.”Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. These systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,”Kendall said. He said, “Consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control.

As Deborah was running to block the player, her knee went out and she fell down on the court in burning pain. Just like that, Deborah's season was over.After suffering the bad injury, Deborah found that, for the first time in her life, she was in a situation beyond her control. Game after game, she could do nothing but sit on the sidelines watching others play the game that she loved so much.Injuries limited Deborah's time on the court as she hurt her knees three more times in the next five years.

They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.The pop­up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and instagram it.The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's “Food for Life”campaign, a new marketing projectthat aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments —from every day to the special,”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.The reaction to “The Picture House”has been great so far. And the pay­by­picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses.

高考题型提能练(二十二)Module 4Ⅰ.阅读理解AIn today's information age, it's nearly impossible to avoid using social media. According to USA Today, even American universities are increasingly using social media as a learning tool. Their goal is to teach students how to use social media professionally.Jade Johnson is taking an upper­level advertising course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. For the class, he has had to organize and promote a contest via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, channels that are commonly used by advertising firms.“A lot of times students prefer not to use certain social media, but are forced to because of the class,”says Jade.Some students may be reluctant to create an account, but Jade says that it was helpful because social media skills mean better job opportunities in today's world.More college classes are appearing that are designed specially to teach students about social media, offering them a different look into something they may use on a daily basis.Jenna Kapsis, a senior at William Paterson University, was required to post two Tweets on Twitter and one update on Facebook per week in her Digital and Social Media Communication class. The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.“Some of the topics included social media manners, online marketing and current events,”Kapsis says.As technology continues to develop, colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it into their teaching. Whether it's to create discussion groups, carry out plans, or communicate with students, professors are ensuring that students can see the potential of mastering social media platforms.1.According to Jade, what's the benefit of social media skills?A.Improving students' learning efficiency.B.Offering students a different look into things.C.Contributing to the possibility of acquiring good jobs.D.Bettering the communication between teachers and students.2.What can we infer from the passage?A.Most students are reluctant to use social media.B.Social media skills are difficult for students to master.C.Social media skills have been expanded to some courses.D.The learning of social media skills is a heavy burden for students.3.Which of the following may not be one way to combine social media into teaching?A.Creating discussion groups.B.Doing some experiments.C.Carrying out plans.D.Communicating with students.4.Why do the US universities focus on the promotion of social media skills?A.Because it can enhance the universities' competitiveness.B.Because it will improve the universities' teaching quality.C.Because it will help professors carry out researches more easily.D.Because it will be of vital importance in this hi­tech society.BI've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How's the baby?” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can't I stop it? The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.My sister had the same problem with the caretak er of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complain; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he won't lift afinger to help.”What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.”To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist (湿润的) eyes that he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldn't be leaving.”The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people won't like you.The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good,”says Zelda West­Meads, a marriage guidance consultant, “they develop low self­confidence and become compulsive_givers.”But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is. “There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy,”she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”I am now tryi ng hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but ...”and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person”and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.5.Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?A.He is interested in the baby.B.He wants to create a good impression.C.He wants to be always polite to him.D.It's a way to start a chat with great politeness.6.What could we find out about the author's sister and the caretaker?A.She doesn't want to risk displeasing him.B.She doesn't pay attention to him.C.He often refuses to help her.D.He is impatient of her overreaction.7.The underlined words “compulsive givers”in the fourth paragraph refer to the people who ________.A.are willing to help othersB.couldn't bear to turn down requestsC.are unconfident of denying demandsD.are less selfish than takers8.What is the author's intention of writing this passage?A.To show how to let others like you more.B.To prove how to create a harmonious atmosphere.C.To encourage people to have more self­confidence.D.To suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.Ⅱ.任务型阅读There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? 1.________ We have to go for them now! Here's why.Tomorrow is not promisedNobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. 2.________ Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.The world is waiting on your giftI know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! You were born into the world with a unique gift. Other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. 3.________ Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you.You can't let fear winOne of the biggest dream killers is fear. There are so many people who could have achieved amazing things if only they weren't afraid. Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. 4.________You'll be much happier if you go for itImagine how much happier you'll be if you're living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing that is stopping you is yourself. 5.________ Don't keep your dreams waiting.A.Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.B.Other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.C.Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.D.Take control of your own happiness.E.Doors that you couldn't imagine open up when you go after what you want.F.Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.G.Our dreams should not, and cannot wait.Ⅲ.语法填空(2016·贵州适应性测试)It was the day of the poetry festival, and I was 1.________ (excite).

高考题型提能练(十九)Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·邯郸质检)Since Henry Ford turned it into a mass-market product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year.Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold­ups. “Connect ed cars” — which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel — can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on­board sensors (传感器) discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls (道路通行费) to smooth traffic flows during rush hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”,whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a_similar_effect. These new inventions could create a much more highly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways. Traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and morepollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.1.According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ________.A.more time on the roadB.a great waste of fuelC.even heavier traffic jamsD.increased death and injuries2.What does “a similar e ffect” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Reducing traffic jams.B.Building smart motorways.C.Setting proper speed limits.D.Keeping steady traffic flows.3.What is the author's attitude towards connected cars?A.Curious.B.Doubtful.C.Supportive. D.Disappointed.4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.The Future of Cars: Wireless WheelsB.The Future Traffic Management SystemC.The Benefits and Problems of CarsD.The Promising Future of Car ProductionB(2016·江西省九校联考)If you have an allergy to some food, even a very tiny bit of food canmake you sick. Lots of kids have food allergies —about 3 million in the United States alone.The foods that cause the most food allergies include peanuts and other nuts; seafood, such as shrimp; milk, particularly cow's milk; eggs; wheat.What Is a Food Allergy?Food allergies occur when your immune system makes a mistake. Usually, your immune system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it's really dangerous to you.What's a Reaction Like?In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis (过敏症). This is a sudden, severe allergic reaction in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart and blood vessels. A person's blood pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow and the tongue can swell.
