I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my twoyearold daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.1.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校陕西咸阳市2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解选练（1）阅读理解Yao Yunchun, a 24-year-old author who frequently shops online in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has never been so impatient for her parcels as she is now. She has been counting every day while she waits for the products she ordered to arrive, as many deliveries have been delayed over the past month. “It took more than a week for one of my parcels to arrive from Beijing while, in the past, it took only four days,” said Yao.She is just one of the many who like shopping on Taobao. com, the country’s largest online shopping site, which has posted apologetic announcements to customers for the delays in deliveries. “Many parcels are still at the airport and cannot be delivered on time, but I think I will do my best.” Taobao clothes retailer (零售商) iM Shop said on its website. Meanwhile, major express delivery companies in China have put up notices saying they are ready to cope with the delay in recent days.“It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,” said Chen Shousong, an analyst with domestic research company Analysys International. Taobao Mall, the country’s largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, for example, rolled out a large-scale discount on November 11 in which 150 brands sold their products at half price. The discount attracted the attention of many e-shopping enthusiasts who spent 936 million yuan ($142 million) in just one day. The recent shortage of diesel oil, which restricts delivery vehicles’ capacity, and bad weather conditions in North China, also added to an already overloaded express delivery market.Bottlenecks in delivery often appear before long holidays, such as the coming Christmas and New Year holidays and the Chinese traditional Spring Festival holiday. Delivery employees often quit their jobs at that time when faced with lots of work and low pay.1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Waiting for the postman impatiently.B.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.1．Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.B．Building roads and hotels is essential.C．Support facilities are highly necessary.D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.答案：D 本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。

(The Result of the Falling US Dollar)Like a ticking time bomb, the falling dollar has grabbed the attention of Japan and West Germany, forcing them to consider adopting economic polices the United States advocates. The U.S. government wants the dollar to fall because as the dollar declines in value against the yen and Deutsche mark, U.S. good becomes cheaper. U.S. companies then sell more at home and abroad, and U.S. trade deficit declines. Cries for trade protection abate, and the global free-trade system is preserved.Then, the cheaper dollar makes it cheaper for many foreign investors to snap up U.S. stocks. That prompts heavy buying from abroad—especially from Japan. Also, if the trade picture is improving, that means U.S. companies eventually will be more competitive. Consequently, many investors are buying shares of export-oriented U.S. companies in anticipation of better profits in the next year or so. But that is a rather faddish notion right now; if corporate earnings are disappointing in interest rates, the stock market rally could stall.Improving U.S. competitiveness means a decline in another’s competitiveness.Japan and West Germany are verging on recession. Their export-oriented economies are facing major problems. Japan is worried about the damage the strong yen will do to Japanese trade. West Germany is also worried. Share prices in Frankfurt plummeted this past week. Bonn is thought to be considering a cut in interest rates to boost its economy.Could the falling dollar get out of hand? If the dollar falls too far, investors might lose confidence in U.S. investments—especially the government bond market. The money to finance the federal budget and trade deficits could migrate elsewhere. Inflation could flare up, too, since Japanese and German manufacturers will eventually pass along price hikes—and U.S. companies might follow suit to increase their profit margins. The U.S. federal Reserve then might need to step in and stabilize the dollar by raising interest rates. And higher interest rates could cause the U.S. economy to slow down and end the Wall Street Rally.Worried about these side effects, Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcher has said the dollar has fallen far enough. What is the equilibrium level? Probably near where it is or slightly lower. It all depends on when the U.S. trade deficit turns around or if investors defect from U.S. Treasury Bonds. “It requires a good deal of political patience on the part of the U.S. Congr ess,” says Dr. Cline, “And there must be an expectation of patience on the part of private investors. The chance are relatively good that we will avoid an investor break or panic.”1. What is the main idea of this passage?[A]. The impression of the falling U.S. dollar.. The result of the U.S. falling dollar.[C]. The side effect of U.S. falling dollar.[D]. Japan and West Germany are worried about U.S. falling dollar.2. What does the word “rally” mean.[A]. prosperity. . decline. [C]. richness. [D]. import.3. Why are Japan and West Germany worried about the falling dollar?[A]. Because the falling dollar may cause inflation in their countries.. Because it may force them to sell a lot of U.S, stocks.[C]. Because it may do damage to their trade.[D]. Because it may make Japanese company less competitive.4. If dollar-falling got out of hand, and the U.S. Federal Reserve might step in , what would happen?[A]. The prosperity of the U.S. economy would disappear.. The U.S. economy might face serious problems.[C]. Investors might lose confidence in U.S. investments.[D].Inflation could flare up.Vocabulary1. ticking 滴答作响的2. grab 抓住3. abate 减弱4. snap up 争购，抢购5. heavy buying 大量买进6. export-oriented 以出口为方向的7. in anticipation of 期待，预期8. faddish 一时流行的9. spree 无节制的疯狂行为10. buying spree 狂购乱买11. plummet 垂直落下，骤然跌落，暴跌12. stall 停滞13. verge 处于……边缘14. verging on recession 正处于衰退的边缘15. boost 振兴，吹捧16. bond market 债券市场17. flare up 突然闪耀，发火，爆发18. hike 提高，增加19. follow suit 照着做，跟出同花色的牌20. profit margin 利润幅度21. step in 介入22. rally 繁荣23. equilibrium 平衡，均势24. defect 逃跑，开小差25. break or panic 崩溃或大恐慌难句译注1. cries for trade protection 贸易保护的呼声2. the global free-trade system 全球自由贸易体系3. that is a rather faddish notion right now 只是一时流行的概念4. get out of hand 失控5.

Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?”You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowi ng from behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side,it is blowing across the boat.In this case,you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat.It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind,but it shouldn’t flap (摆动).It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole.If it is flapping,it is probably out too far,and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible.If you try,the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible,but you can’t go in a straight line.You must go firs t in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking,you must always keep the sail inside the boat.1.What should you consider first while sailing?( )A.Sailors’ strength.B.Wave levels.C.Wind directions.D.Size of sails.2.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?()A.The boat.B.The wind.C.The sail.D.The angle.3.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?( )A.Move in a straight line.B.Allow the sail to flap.C.Lower the sail.D.Tack the boat.4.Where can you probably find the text?( )A.In a popular magazine.B.In a tourist guidebook.C.In a physics textbook.D.In an official report.语篇解读:本文为科普说明文。

BEIJING—Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular （手机） network compatibility （兼容）for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where theconsumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．Ac cording to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China. The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom （Hong Kong） Ltd．China Unicom declined（谢绝）to comment．Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland． Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed（超过）the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale（高档的）IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world.

AWhen I met him，I had a lot of anger inside of me. I've lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem，but in my neighborhood，there are shoot¬ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up .I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way，too，but Mr. Clark wouldn't let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours，making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact，the scores of our whole class rose. One day，he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera ，and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show，he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney's 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat；those students would to with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names，Mr. Clark said，“You're all going.”On graduation day，there were a lot of tears. We didn't want his class to end. In 2001，he moved to Atlanta，but we always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education，and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules，The Essential 55.In 2003，Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院)．It was the most amazing experience of my life. It's now my dream to one day start a group of women's clubs，helping people from all backgrounds.21．Without Mr. Clark，the writer ________.A．might have been put into prisonB．might not have won the prizeC．might have joined a women's clubD．might not have moved to Atlanta22．The Essential 55 is ________.A．a show B．a speechC．a classroom rule D．a book23．What can we learn from the passage?A．It was in Harlem that we saw The Phantom of the Opera for the first time.B．Mr. Clark taught us not to talk with our mouths full，and we did.

Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字节) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.25. Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?A. To hand over his business.B. To check his cellphone billC. To find out information about Jamaica.D. To find out information about roaming charges.26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data deliver y.B. Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.C. Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.D. Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.27. During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.A. was careless with phone useB. delivered no more data than at homeC. received quite poor e-mail servicesD. frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails28. What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?A. Make customers know when they’re outside th eir service area.B. Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.C. Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.D. Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.参考答案25--28DACBCAnais Nin was a famous writer.

Anais Nin and her great achievements,参考答案29--32CABDDFor thousands of years, mankind has produced plants and animals to create more desired and useful plants and animals. For example, modern com has been produced to such a large size that it is no longer able to reproduce without man’s assistance. Modern dairy cows produce too much milk and if they are not often emptied of milk, they could leak, burst, become infected, and possibly die. Besides, most dogs raised by people can not survive in the wild even with special training.Since natural evolution is extremely slow and mankind’s selective production programs only take a few generations to produce a completely new species, natural evolution has already taken a back seat to mankind’s production programs. In add ition, mankind has successfully killed off several species all together. For example, there are no more European wolves in existence and mammoths (猛犸象) probably died out because of mankind. Even certain diseases have been permanently got rid of from the planet, and dozens of other diseases will soon be too. Again, natural evolution did i»t cause most of the destruction during man’s rule of the world.Currently, scientists are creating new species with desired characteristics in the lab significantly faster than natural evolution creates new species. In a single generation, new species can be created and destroyed by mankind, while natural evolution could take thousands of years to do the same but only accidentally. Scientists are even able to replace defective (有缺陷的) or damaged genes with different genes to attempt to cure genetic defects. This is something that natural evolution could possibly never correct.Eventually scientists will even be able to improve the quality of people. For example, imagine not only correcting your eyesight with gene treatment, but also ensuring that all of your children do not receive your old genes of poor eyesight too. Scientists will one day be able to improve the memory and intelligence of your children, so that they will do better in school and achieve more in life. Doctors and scientists willbe able to customize (订制) babies before they are born just like picking options at a car store.33.According to the first paragraph,______ .A. man-made evolution has improved all speciesB. man-made evolution has weakened some speciesC man-made evolution can make up for all natural lossesD. natural evolution won’t happen without man’s assistance34. What does the underlined part “taken a back seat to” in Paragraph2 mean?A. Become powerful assistance to.B. Become a huge barrier to.C Speeded up the process of. D. Played a less important role than.35 What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. Why natural evolution happens so slowly.B. The way scientists adopt to have genetic defects repaired.C.

高考英语二轮复习阅读练习带答案高考英语二轮复习阅读练习1：Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas AMs College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, dirests this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential(潜能)。
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says. “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子).His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.The agricultural research at AM differs from stereotypes. Its “molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research.Theyre also paid $600 for their work-another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.71.The research program is chiefly designed for .A. high school advisers from HoustonB. college students majoring in agricultureC. high school students from different placesD. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences72.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas .A. had little chance to go to collegeB. could often take part in the programC. found the program useful to their futureD. showed much interest in their high school experiments73.When the program was over, the students .A. entered that collegeB. wrote research reportsC. paid for their researchD. found way to make money74.The underlined expression “on the cutting edge” in paragraph 5 means “on the most position”.A. importantB. favourableC. astonishingD. advanced75.What would be the best title for the text?A.A Program for Agricultural Science StudentsB. A Program for Animal Science StudentsC. A Program for Medical Science LoversD. A Program for Future Science Lovers二轮复习阅读练习答案：71.C 72.C 73.B 74.D 75.D高考英语二轮复习阅读练习2：Our brains work in complex and strange ways.There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two.Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.ngdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants.An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤) , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation.At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant mayvary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor.His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724.It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds.Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the1860s.Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment.Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills.Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills.However few people wish to participate in such experiments.There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on ones brain.The term idiot savant is outdated andinappropriate.Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.72.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.B.Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C.The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D.The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.73.Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A.He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B.He can guess out exactly the length of a mans life.C.He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D.He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.74.What can you infer from the passage?A.Idiot savants have real talents for art and math.B.Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C.Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.D.Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.75.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?二轮复习阅读练习答案：72—75 ADCB。

二轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

高考英语二轮复习阅读练习1：Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. Areally fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street bya car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you haveto decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to goand live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger isno longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.60. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _________.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful of pain61. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger62. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmfulB. Fear is always something helpfulC . Fear is something that can be avoidedD. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63. The best title for this passage should be __________.A. No Pains, No GainsB. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D . The Reason Why People Fear二轮复习阅读练习答案：60—63 CBAC高考英语二轮复习阅读练习2：Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twiceas big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about thefloating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat ordrink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers canalso get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch二轮复习阅读练习答案：51.D。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解训练（10）AOne hometown owner in Detroit is intending to exchange his villa for the latest iPhone 6.The owner has dropped the asking price from $ 5,000 to a new iPhone 6 as the owner is desperate to sell before the tax auction (拍卖) season where “thousands” of homes near foreclosure (房屋止赎权) will flood into the market, a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) called Larry Else told ABC News.“This house is really not worth much at all,” Else said. The windows are broken and there is no front door. The broker himself has not been inside the home because his company has a policy of not going in unsecured houses alone. Detroit’s declining fortunes have left its population about a third of what it used to be in its peak, according to the U.S. Census Bureau（人口普查办公室）.Now, the property has accrued (拖欠) more than $6,000 in back taxes (退税款) and will enter foreclosure next year if that debt is not settled. So while the owner is asking for an iPhone 6, the true cost of the sale comes from the buyer including the cost of the back taxes.That attracted great interest in the property, as Else said that he received four offers today alone. One woman said she was interested in the house for the wood. Another said that they would be willing to hand over an iPhone 5, and another offered $ 850. But Else hinted that the most likely buyer is someone who already lives on the block and put in a $ 700 bid（出价）, and their familiarity with the area appeared to put them at the head of the pack. He said he expects one of the four offers to work out, and may even confirm the sale tonight.This is not the end of his bartering (物物交换) business, however, as Else said that he’s already gotten another call from a homeowner who has had trouble selling their property.21.Why did the owner drop his price for the house?A.Because the house was too old.B.Because there is a boom in economy.C.Because he wanted to sell the house quickly.D.Because the population in Detroit is small.rry Else hasn’t come into the house because _______.A.it is dangerous to enter itB.the owner doesn’t permit itC.he is not familiar with the areaD.it will break the company’s rule23.The house will most possibly be sold at the price of _______.A. $ 5,000B. $ 850C. $ 700D. an iPhone 624.The passage is most probably taken from ________.A. a story bookB. a news reportC. an economy reportD. a tourist brochure参考答案21–24 CDCBBRegardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and T-shirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the best-dressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN’s list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.ItalyItaly is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian! SwedenRetail(零售) giant H & M continues to spread affordable Swedish style ar ound the world. What has been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “less is more” philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don’t lack creativity.FranceThe French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love —and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis,” said The Huffington Post.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.B. Wearing T-shirts is British style.C. British young people like the preppy style.D. The UK is the best-dressed country in the world.26. What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?A. It is practical and creative.B. It is unaffordable.C. It lacks confidence.D. It lacks creativity.27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph?A. Imitate.B. Thrill.C. Like.D. Hate.参考答案25–27CAACBabies don’t learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They arelip-readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby’s babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada” . The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.Apparently it doesn’t take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4-month-olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6-months-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8-and10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker’s eyes.But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies’brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their nativelanguage over other languages in the first year of life.The continued lip-reading shows the 1-year-olds clearly still are fitfor learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroicdata se t”, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum,who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.28. According to the first paragraph, babies______.A. might get its voice “mama” by lip-readingB. learn to talk just from hearing the soundsC. like to figure out how to shape their lipsD. communicate with parents through gestures29. What is necessary in developing babies’speech according to Lewkowicz?A. Playing baby DVD nearby.B. Teaching babies to read English.C. Speaking with babies face to face.D. Speaking different languages in front of babies.30. Which of the following shows the right change of babies’ eye gazeaccording to the text?Eye gaze4 8 12 MonthA.Eye gaze4 8 12 MonthC.Eye gaze4 8 12 MonthB.Eye gaze4 8 12 MonthD.31. What would be the best title of the text?A. Babies Have Different Methods to TalkB. Babies Try Lip-reading in Learning to TalkC. Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two LanguagesD. Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language参考答案28–31ACABDIt’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for onl y seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientistsa new understanding of their intelligence.32.What is the article mainly about?A.Fish having very bad memories.B.Fish being smarter than we thought.C.How fish improve their memory.D.What we can learn from fish.33.According to the article, people used to believe that _______.A.fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB.fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutesD.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends34.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember_______.A.where to get food and surviveB.their enemies and fightC.where to escape to when in dangerD.their friends and help each other35.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.B.Fish can remember more.C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.参考答案32–35 BDAB。

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Seaisland. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C.

二轮复习高考英语 阅读理解试题(附答案)
二轮复习高考英语阅读理解试题(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air than forest trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest，trees tend to grow close together，shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?A. To know about their growth rates.B. To find out how much they weigh.C. To check whether they were healthy.D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D. They are better at competing for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?A. How urban trees can live longer.B. Why city living makes trees die young.C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more C02.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

浙江奉化市2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）选练（1）阅读理解中推理判断及语义猜测题的解题技巧一、推理判断题推理判断是一种创造性的思维活动，要求学生对文章信息由表及里、由浅入深、从具体到抽象、从特殊到一般。
通过分析、综合、判断等方法，对某些相关信息进行推断。
解答此类试题时，要注意以下几点：1. 体会文章的言外之意，挖掘文章隐含的意义；2. 要做到有根有据，从已知获得未知，而不是凭空臆断；3. 要学会运用已有的经验或常识进行推理判断。
如：例1：[2013年广东高考阅读理解A篇]Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装), but finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.27. What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?A. She was a rich lady.B. She refu sed Tom’s request.C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero.D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.解析：D。
根据文章前两段的陈述可知，Tom因为身患癌症，要多次做手术，经历了许多的痛苦。
根据第三段可知，Tom的母亲平时是不会购买昂贵的戏装的（她并不富裕），但这次却同意了儿子的要求。
从常理来推测可知，作为母亲，这样的转变最可能的原因就是为了帮助儿子熬过痛苦。
30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story.B. To help us make right decisions.C. To advise us to care about children.D. To encourage us to use our imagination.解析：D。
本题要求推测作者的写作目的。
通读全文，我们可知本文的主旨是想象可以帮助我们克服胆怯。
作者还在本文的末尾号召读者展开想像的翅膀，去迎接所面临的挑战。
因此，我们可以推测，作者写作本文的目的是鼓励大家运用自己的想象力。
例2：[2013年广东高考阅读理解B篇]When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.…34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.解析：B。
综合本段内容可知，本段主要讲述的是，一些人成功了，他们为此付出了许多。
如果认为他们的成功是因为他们的运气或他们的天分，那就错了。
由此，我们可以推测，作者在本段所要表达的意思实际上是要说“人们有时候成功并非是因为运气或天分”。
二、语义猜测题语义猜测题就是要求考生对划线部分的单词、短语、指示代词、句子等，根据上下文语境和逻辑推测其大致含义。
在阅读过程中，可以利用上下文的语境对划线部分含义作合理的猜测。
阅读文章尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的生词，常在其后有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子；为了说明或证实前面已述事实，文章中经常会举一些例子，这些例子可帮助考生猜测生词含义；有时可以结合上下文的因果、递进、对比、转折等关系来猜测语义。
如：例1：[2013年广东高考阅读理解B篇]However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.…32. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to .A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life解析：B。
代词that通常代指上文出现的人或物。
该段中划线单词前面提到的一件事情就是“树立一个合理可行的目标”。
例2：[2013年福建高考阅读理解A篇]When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.56. The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.A. fashionableB. availableC. practicalD. renewable解析：A. 本题要求推测划线单词in的含义。
