阅读理解（三）1、A Competitive SportCheerleadingOver th e years, cheerleading has taken two primary forms: game-time cheerleading and competitive cheerleading. Game-time cheerleaders’ main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻腾运动) ability. It’s a very common thing for gymnasts, so it’s easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better the score is. That’s why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1.What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?A.To compare skills of participants.B.To make the audience feel amused.C.To attract more people to watch events.D.To cheer up the competitors on the court.2.The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A.examinebineC.identifyD.replace3.We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______.cks necessary guidelines to followB.enjoys greater popularity than other sportsC.requires more designed actions than gymnasticsD.has a relatively high rate of damage to the body4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.2、Black Friday is just a week away, an annual tradition in which holiday shoppers rush to the supermarkets and malls. Most shoppers pack stores to buy things at a discount. For some, however, shopping is less of a pastime and more of an addiction. These people have compulsive(强迫性的) shopping disorder, a condition filled with debt and regret.While it's true that many lack money and credit management skills, what these shoppers are often looking for is a “buy high”,an emotional rush to put themselves in a better mood, found San Francisco S tate University researchers in 2013. These types of shoppers often hold materialistic values. When under stress, materialistic shoppers are more likely to shop compulsively.Rather than providing any social or emotional outlet(发泄出口),the extreme stress-induced purchases only increase anxiety and lower well-being, and materialistic shoppers already tend to have lower self-esteem than others to begin with.In fact, it’s exactly at low moments that materialistic shoppers are most likely to shop for expensive items, and they're more likely to make those purchases on credit. This of course can create a vicious cycle, in which a materialistic shoppers with low self-esteem buys a luxury item he or she cannot afford in an effort to improve sense of self. The financial burden can cause stress and strain relationships over the issue of money, further affecting the mood of the shopper and leading to more spending to try to regain a sense of self-worth.Symptoms of shopping addiction include constant thoughts about shopping, buying to improve the mood and inability to change behavior.There are treatment options for those with compulsive shopping disorder, which may include medication. Other recommendations include shopping with a friend, getting rid of credit cards and above all, developing meaningful hobbies.1.What do you learn about Black Friday?A.Many shops have special offers.B.Customers can enjoy leisure time.C.Shoppers can get free products.D.Shoppers spend much money on useless things.2.According to the passage, the extreme stress-induced purchases _____.A.provide an emotional outletB.make people more anxiousC.regain people’s confidenceD.improve management skills3.When are materialistic shoppers most likely to shop for expensive items?A.When they are delighted.B.When they are excited.C.When they are inspired.D.When they are depressed.4.According to the author, which of the following is the most important treatment option?A.Taking chemical medicine.B.Shopping with a friend.C.Developing meaningful hobbies.D.Getting rid of credit cards.3、Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes,dark chocolate has compounds(化合物) that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt, even on a daily basis. But the amount matters, since too many bites can contribute to extra fat, sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa, which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇). At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and the risk of diabetes. Dark chocolate has the highest amount of cocoa flavanols: milk chocolate has lens, and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat they give it a biter flavor. Producers may process chocolate to make it more delicious, but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds,said Matt Hartings, an American professor. In spite of this,dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate, which tends to have more sugar. Additionally, cocoa powder contains minerals. So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal. Just keep the following in mind.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa. "Generally speaking,the higher the percentage, the more flavanols. These higher-percentage chocolates have the added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat,” Hartings said.Second, if possible, choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa, which is treated with an alkali(碱). This gives chocolate a milder flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally, to keep weight in check, limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily, or about 150 calories.1.Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existence of _______.A.rich mineralsB.less sugarC.cocoa flavanolsD.fewer calories2.What does the underlined word “treat” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Something enjoyable.B.A salt-free diet.C.Food paid by others.D.A cure for an illness.3.What can we learn from the text?A.Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.B.White chocolate is good for health.C.One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.D.Alkali can affect flavanols’ content.4.Wha t’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love for dark chocolate..B.To promote the sales of chocolate.C.To provide facts about dark chocolate.D.To make a distinction among chocolates.4、On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southernKenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the pawprints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.Each year, thousands of tourists crowdKenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the "big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international d raw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.1.How did Kasaine track lions?A.By working together with tourists.B.By running after them all the time.C.By going to school every day.D.By studying their paw prints.2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Maasai people are born animal lovers.B.Tourism is a big threat toKenya’s wildlife.C.Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.D.Small animals are not included in their protection policy.3.What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Kenya’s economic development.B.Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.C.Kenya’s second-largest income source.D.People’s leaving their original homes.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Wildlife protection inKenyaB.Meeting a dangerous animalC.Wilson Kasaine’s wise choiceD.Learning to live with lions5、Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. " It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone," Wegscheider said. She has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you when you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. "The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person, said the 30-year-old man. Richardson describes traveling alone as ua sho t in the arm”, which makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. He said, “ The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around withmy head up because I know that nothing is impossible if I try. ”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said,Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness."1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.2.Traveling alone is challenging because_______________.A.you have to make things on your ownB.it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC.you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD.it will finally build your character3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A.He started traveling alone at an early age.B.He was once shot in the arm.C.He used to work as a salesman.D.His website inspires others a lot.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.Travel AbroadB.Travel UnaccompaniedC.Travel LightD.Travel Wide and Far6、Dream in HeartOn the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “ time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated,responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “ I’ m sorry I’ m so nervous.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “ Wedo not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you’ re nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I’ m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-e ight. Anybody can grow older. It’ snon-optional but that doesn’ t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly don’ t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “ The Rose” . She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’ s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week aft er graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’ s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.Why does the author compare Rose to “ time machine” in Paragraph 2?A.To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B.To describe the close friendship between them.C.To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D.To explain why she took on a challenge in college.2.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because ______.A.she was a great football fanB.she was the smartest studentC.she tried hard to achieve her dreamD.she became more educated than the others3.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that ______.A.growing older means growing upB.it takes talent and ability to grow upC.receiving high education helps to be courageousD.one grows older at the same time when he grows up4.The passage is intended to ______.A.provide an example for the elderlyB.discuss how to grow up quicklyC.tell the importance of attending collegeD.inspire the readers to live up to lives7、Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously ( 匿名).But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强)by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy.You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.1.Jane Austen paid two long visits to Bath________.A.in her early twentiesB.in her early teensC.in her late twentiesD.in her late teens2.What can we learn about Bath from the passage?A.Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death.B.The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it.C.Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time.D.No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time.3.The author writes this passage in order to________.A.attract readers to visit the city of BathB.ask readers to buy Austen's booksC.tell readers about Jane Austen's experienceD.give a brief introduction to the Jane Austen Society4.It takes you about one and a half hours________.A.to get to the Jane Austen Centre in Gay StreetB.to buy Jane Austen related books, cards and giftsC.to find a guide to take you to the CentreD.to look around the city of Bath on foot8、Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries,thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Soles (S.O.S.) charity.A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California,Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries.“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says,“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes."Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas that year.When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round endeavor.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, a city gym and a recreation centre. He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals. So far, S. O. S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs.Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling.To ship the footwear,Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world. Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We’d send kids balls and shoes. I've heard that for many of these kids,these old sneakers are the only shoes they had. They wear them to school and to do sports.So Greg's running shoes were a nice addition for us.”For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two young hoys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other.Thanks to S. O. S., each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.1.What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?A.The benefits from playing sports.B.News about some poor children.C.His memory of school life.D.The medical treatment he received.2.When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to _________.A.include adult sizes and sandalsB.set up branches in different citiesC.collect shoes throughout the yearD.expand his endeavor in the whole city3.How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?A.By sending them by mail.B.By working with Sports Gift.C.By advertising for those in need.D.By offering them from door to door.4.What can we learn from Keven Baxter’s remarks?A.Sports Gift is popular around the world.B.Many children need Greg’s old sneakers.C.Greg's running shoes are the best gifts for children.D.International organizations should provide more help.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.B; 3.D; 4.C解析：1.细节理解题。

The idea of a cashless society appears very common in our society.____17____Economic inequality and inclusivity（包容性）are fundamental issues still present worldwide.____18____ The unbanked and poor could face significant challenges with digital modes of payment. In fact, most of the unbanked view the cashless movement as an unfair act against those without bank accounts.For a cashless society, there needs to be an understanding and acceptance by governments and payment providers of the financial inclusion issues currently in existence.____19____ There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with rapid digitalization and technological advancement. There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have barriers to accessing mobile phones and the Internet.____20____ It is also about to launch a national digital currency（货币）, the world’s first. Nearly everything can be transacted by digital means here.

COVID-19 has sped up the move away from physical cash.E. In China, four out of every five payments are now cashless.F. It isn’t just the unbanked wh o are at risk of being left behind.G.

All respect ed news sources present news with plenty of facts—quotes from experts, survey data and official statistics, and allow the reader to make up their own minds on an issue.____19____Many news organisations, real or fake, attempt to be the first to ’break’ a news story in order to remain relevant in a highly-competitive market. If the article you re reading has spelling mistakes, an incorrect date, or anonymous(匿名的) sources, bear in mind that this news article might be unreliable.Where does the news come from?____20____ Sometimes this source is named but other times the source is anonymous.

Is the content reliable?B. Is it competitive in the market?C. Many people avoid any news that is unfavorable to them.D. Most news articles will have a ’source’ for their information.E. Many fake news sites earn money by getting you to click on headlines.F. If you re a social media user, chances are you’ve read a fake news story with out even knowing it.G.

They listen, they respond, and they help others to participate as well and to enjoy themselves. ____16____ They don’t speak over the top of everyone. They’re there to participate.However, just talking a little too much in conversations doesn’t mean someone is a bad person. ____17____ But the reason why this is especially important to you as an English learner is that you want to make sure that people enjoy talking to you when you’re speaking in English.____18____ They talk more, find out more about you and allow you to build the relationship with them. And significantly, having more relationships means more chances for you to speak, and more chances for you to learn and to have someone to speak with regularly. ____19____Obviously, you can’t expect random people to do that for you. ____20____ Certainly, this is not going to be easy but if you think a little more broadly about the benefits and the value of these skills and how they can help you to keep improving you r English naturally, that’s interesting and valuable to you,A. They don’t dominate the conversation.B. That’s meaningless and a waste of time.C. Sharing the conversation will make people want to stay.D.

But what if rewards and threats aren’t the answer?Natural curiosity is sometimes referred to a s “inner motivation”. ___17___ And it’s easy to understand why it’shard to study something we aren’t actively engaged with, and if we’re passionate about the information we’re digesting, it feels more fulfilling.External motivation, things like rewards and punishment, does have its uses too. Praise and stimulation based on achieving good grades or fear of punishment has been acknowledged to motivate older students. ___18___ So, if it’s the case that natural curiosity is motivation for better learning, how can we stimulate that interest?___19___ Let children see their learning as their own thing and give them a bit more choice of what and how they learn. For example, if you want to teach children to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it’s a graphic novel, TV guide or classic literature, the aim of stimulating their appetite for reading is achieved.Likewise, build a relationship with children as learners and listen to their negative feelings. If they are unwilling to get involved in an activity, don’t rush to use threats or rewards. Try to find out why. Perhaps it’s simply because they feel the activity boring. ___20___All in all, the answer to motivating children, especially the young ones, comes from inspiring their inner motivation.

If you are waiting in line, be mindful of staying at least six feet apart from the people ahead and behind you.

From the best free classes and apps to outdoor gyms, here is how to work out at a minimal(最低的) cost.In-store exercise classesIn the same way as bookshops double up as coffee shops, activewear shops have learned to multitask as gyms.

With the first £80 saved I bought some discounted running shoes. ___17___.Good Gym___18___, then Good Gym could supply motivation while doubling the feel good factor. It connects local runners with a range of necessary good deeds from gardening to changing a lightbulb. Some jobs require two runners, others two dozen. The idea is you run to the mission, do the deed, then run back, thereby combining altruism(利他主义), fitness and socializing in one rewarding act.___19___You might be surprised to discover how many cheap fitness options lie within a short walk of your doorstep. Many local authorities offer fitness initiatives. Mine (Hackney, in east London) organizes £1 exercise classes from family taekwondo(跆拳道) to chair-based yoga. ___20___. Check your local council’s website. They are also likely to run tennis courts.A. Embrace your communityB. Try to walk faster and furtherC. I have been running weekly ever sinceD.

The trip you were looking forward to is called off, your house sale falls through, and you haven't exercised in three weeks. All of these things have happened to meand, on occasion, at the same time.____35____ Either that, or you end up giving up and feeling like your life is always going to be full of problems.So, how do you keep your calm in testing times, but also hold it together for long enough to pull yourself out? Contrary to what you may think, I'm a believer in giving in to how you're feeling, at least for a moment.____36____But how do you turn things around? The first thing I do is write everything down. I draw a line down the middle of a page. On the left, I write down all the things that are stressing me out. On the right, I write down everything that needs to be done to fix these problems. Then, I look at the list and I cross out all the points over which I have no control.____37____ Next, I write down the possible actions against each point on the list. Finally, I force myself into taking action by picking up the phone and asking someone for help;____38____ After all, a problem shared is a problem halved.In my experience, the easiest way to keep calm is to regain control of your situation. When we feel out of control, we fall into a downward cycle, and taking back control stops this.____39____ Finally, I remind myself of an age-old truth: this too shall pass.A. I focus on the things that I can do something about.B. We can think and worry about many things at the same time.C. And the moment we start doing, we move away from thinking.D. I always find that this simple act makes me fix things quicker.E. The truth is, it's hard not to lose control of yourself in these moments.F. Better to fall into it, accept the situation for what it is, then get back on your feet and go again.G.

This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. 35 Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled. Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true. People may see them as obnoxious or "full of themselves". 36 They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves".If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. 37However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or givecorrections. 38 It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.39 It will take some work but your entire life—from your relationships to your body image toyour work habits—will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.A. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.B. You have the power to shape a new self-perceptionC. This encourages you to speak openly without worry.D. The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakesE. Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth.F. People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence.G. With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth.（2022北京市西城区高三期末）Sometimes in our life we face this problem: loved ones as well as strangers annoying us. At home, we’ve had to put up with children screaming during online meetings, and family members on the computer all the time. 35Kindness seems like a distant memory. The ability to live peacefully with annoying housemates or neighbors seems more difficult than ever. 36 If we take kindness as a skill, making it a daily practice,it will come easier over time.37 Loving Kindness Meditation (默想) (LKM), which dates back to the time of its roots to early Buddhism, helps us find sympathy for one another even during trying times. The meditation asks us to send thoughts of loving kindness to loved ones, then to acquaint ances (people you don’t know very well) and finallyto challenging people. Over time, our unkind thoughts are replaced with more open, accepting ones. Anger is replaced by love, or at least kindness.Donald Altman, a psychotherapist from Portland, Oregon, says LKM helps us recognize we are all weak and have been hurt. 38So how? To begin with, Altman suggests finding a quiet place to sit. He says to then imagine a favorite family member or friend sending you the words, “May you be well, happy and at peace.” After a few minutes, direct the words at yourself, “May I be well, happy and at peace.” 39 Replace the “I” with the name ofa teacher or coach, then a family member or friend, then an acquaintance, and finally an unfriendly person in your life. End the meditation by spreading the blessing to all living beings.Indeed, we should find our own way toward LKM—but only if we are prepared to access its benefits and extend them to anyone who may need them.The good news is that it isn’t lost.A.Luckily, we can look to ancient disciplines for guidance.B.At work, we’ve had to face the added pressure these demanding jobs create.C.Then, extend the blessing to other people, in order of decreasing fondness.D.For that reason, we could all benefit f rom love’s warm and comforting blessing.E.You can combine the words with breathing, repeating a phrase of love for yourself.F.Outside, we’ve encountered drivers speeding on busy roads and passengers talking loudly on thesubway.（2022北京市朝阳区高三期末）Humans start developing a sense of humour as early as six weeks old, when babies begin to laugh and smile in response to stimuli ( 刺激物). Laughter and humour provide psychological scientists with rich resources for studying human psychology.Theories focusing on the evolution of laughter point to it as an important adaptation for social communication. For example, in 1950, a U. S. sound engineer started recording his own ‘laugh tracks’. These were intended to help people at home feel like they were in a social situation. He even recorded various types of laughter. 35 _________ In one study, carried out in 2016 at the university of California, samples of laughter from pairs of English-speaking students were recorded and played to listeners from 24 diverse societies.36____________ On average, the results were remarkably consistent: worldwide, people’s guesses were correct approximately 60% of the time.Another study by researchers of Australian National University was based on the assumption that humour might provide a pause from dull situations in the workplace. 37_________ The researchers first asked the students to cross out every instance of the letter ‘e’ over two pages of text. The students then were randomly assigned to watch a video clip. Some watched a clip of the BBC comedy Mr. Bean, and others a factual video about the management profession.The students then completed a task requiring persistence in which they were asked to guess the potential performance of employees based on provided profiles, and were told that making 10 correct assessments in a row would lead to a win. 38__________ Students who had watched the Mr. Bean video ended up spending significantly more time working on the task, making twice as many predictions as the other group.39__________ Again, participants who watched the humorous video spent significantly more time working on this boring task and completed more questions correctly than students from the other group.Traditionally, individuals are advised to avoid things such as humour that may distract them from the accomplishment of task goals. However, humour actually helps relieve stress and facilitate social relationships. It is not only enjoyable but more importantly, energizing.A. Participants were asked whether the pairs were friends or strangers.B. This ‘mental break’ might facilitate the addition of mental reso urces.C. The researchers then had participants complete long multiplication questions by hand.D. A team made up of 30 psychological scientists played these recordings to different people.E. However, the software was programmed that it was impossible to achieve 10 correct answers.F. Researchers have also found different types of laughter serve as codes to complex human bonds.G. He found out a simple ‘haha’ communicates a remarkable amount of socially relevant information.（2022山东省泰安高三期末）Some people believe that a career change at 50 is impossible because no one wants to invest in someone so old. 16 The key is that you should try your best to grasp the opportunity.What is the secret? 17 For 15 years, I had the same job. I enjoyed the work itself, but grew tired of management of the company. The inflexibility of the work affected my work-life balance. With my 52nd birthday approaching, I realized I would have to make a career change.Two months later, my wife spotted an occupation online. So, I applied. 18 However, I was surprised to get an online interview. The interview went well, and they told me I’d hear from them the next week if I passed it.

2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(5)阅读理解(五)(1)
阅读理解（五）1、More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he s aid.1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B.It is a time for relaxation.C.It is increasingly popular.D.It is required by universities.2.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He's puzzled.B.He's worried.C.He's surprised.D.He's annoyed.4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B.Make plans for the new term.C.Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduate studies.2、You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his websi te explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace becausepeople have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.1.What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A.The popularity of smart phones.B.The progress of modern technology.C.The signs of “always on” stress.D.The cause of smart phone addiction.2.Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.A.research how people use their mobile phonesB.help people control their use of mobile phonesC.make people better use mobile phonesD.increase the fun of using mobile phones3.What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?A.Confused.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Critical.4.According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.A.we will become less productiveB.we can make a decision more quicklyC.we will be equipped with more knowledgeD.we can work more effectively3、Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program thatbegan on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.4 、There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.我Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A.bring excitement to the consumersB.attract the consumers’ attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their health4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A.vegetable dishB.healthy juiceC.iced drinkD.red vegetable5、 That woman carried a new blanket (毛毯) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked. She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket. “It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (编织),” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo(纳瓦霍) village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked. “What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked. “Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example —the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enou gh a stitch was missing! “But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked. “They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come —it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”1.The blanket the author received_____ .A.was poorly woven.B.made her think a lot.C.cost her a lot of money.D.was finished, but not ready.2.Why was the author shown around the village?A.To buy more things made by the Navajo.B.To make friends with some of the Navajo.C.To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.D.To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.3.Which of the following may the Navajo believe?A.A stitch in time is very important.B.Life only becomes perfect when you die.C.He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.D.You must always try to make your life complete.4.What’s the main idea o f the text?A.The Navajo are good at making things.B.The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C.A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D.Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.6、The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high-class men’s suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It’s true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in factthey all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else’s opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and \ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”.“Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “In case you don’t realize I’m a goth.” he answered, pr etending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.1.What can we know about the English people?A.They need rules to dress well.B.They are in need of uniforms.C.They are creative in general.D.They lead the world trend.2.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A.A high-class man.B.A parrot-haired punk.C.The Queen.D.The fashion innovator.3.Which of the following can best describe the goths?A.They dress badly.B.They dress in an amusing way.C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.How the English DressB.How the English Admire FashionC.Why the English Like UniformsD.Why the English Are Eccentric in Dress7、Black Friday is just a week away, an annual tradition in which holiday shoppers rush to the supermarkets and malls. Most shoppers pack stores to buy things at a discount. For some, however, shopping is less of a pastime and more of an addiction. These people have compulsive(强迫性的) shopping disorder, a condition filled with debt and regret.While it's true that many lack money and credit management skills, what these shoppers are often looking for is a “buy high”,an emotional rush to put themselves in a better mood, found San Francisco State University researchers in 2013. These types of shoppers often hold materialistic values. When under stress, materialistic shoppers are more likely to shop compulsively.Rather than providing any social or emotional outlet(发泄出口),the extreme stress-induced purchases only increase anxiety and lower well-being, and materialistic shoppers already tend to have lower self-esteem than others to begin with.In fact, it’s exactly at low moments that materialistic shoppers are most likely to shop for expensive items, and they're more likely to make those purchases on credit. This of course can create a vicious cycle, in which a materialistic shoppers with low self-esteem buys a luxury item he or she cannot afford in an effort to improve sense of self. The financial burden can cause stress and strain relationships over the issue of money, further affecting the mood of the shopper and leading to more spending to try to regain a sense of self-worth.Symptoms of shopping addiction include constant thoughts about shopping, buying to improve the mood and inability to change behavior.There are treatment options for those with compulsive shopping disorder, which may include medication. Other recommendations include shopping with a friend, getting rid of credit cards and above all, developing meaningful hobbies.1.What do you learn about Black Friday?A.Many shops have special offers.B.Customers can enjoy leisure time.C.Shoppers can get free products.D.Shoppers spend much money on useless things.2.According to the passage, the extreme stress-induced purchases _____.A.provide an emotional outletB.make people more anxiousC.regain people’s confidenceD.improve management skills3.When are materialistic shoppers most likely to shop for expensive items?A.When they are delighted.B.When they are excited.C.When they are inspired.D.When they are depressed.4.According to the author, which of the following is the most important treatment option?A.Taking chemical medicine.B.Shopping with a friend.C.Developing meaningful hobbies.D.Getting rid of credit cards.8、The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory (领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did“writing”-the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils (模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £ 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1.Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti?A.That was when modern graffiti first appeared.B.That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.C.That was when graffiti first reached New York.D.That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows2.What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?s of people who graffitied.B.Building where paints were sprayed.C.People who marked surface with graffiti.D.People who were interested in graffiti.3.What can we know from the third paragraph?A.New Yorkers think graffiti is art.B.Graffiti was accepted by officials completely.C.Buildings can be covered with graffiti freely.D.There were once advertisements on city surface.4.What is the author’s final opinion about graffiti?A.Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.B.Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.C.Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.D.Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C解析：1.本文介绍了越来越多的学生在被大学录取后,不直接去上大学,而是在间隔年期间赚取上大学的费用的现象。

考点分类练(九)主旨大意题——段落大意类A(2021·山东淄博高三三模)For 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to the unheard-of level. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea level to rise and has brought about a dangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic(人类活动引起的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0.74 degrees from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries in Asia and small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference in Paris. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that committed nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We don’t have much choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!1.What does paragraph2mainly talk about?A.The information of industrial revolution.B.The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C.The reasons of climate change.D.The result of extreme weather events.2.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.We have made great achievements.B.Some measures are still required to take.C.Mars is suitable for people’s living.D.Some countries will receive urgent aid.3.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?(P:Paragraph)B(2021·陕西高三下学期模拟)Eating chocolate at least once a week could put off a heart attack, according to a new research. Chocolate is packed with plant chemicals that weaken inflammation(炎症) and help blood flow, explained scientists.Lead author Dr Chayakrit Krittanawong said,“Our study suggests chocolate helps keep the heart’s blood vessels healthy.” It collected data from six trials that examined the link over the past five decades. A total of 336,289 people reported their intake. Those who ate chocolate more than once a week reduced their risk of coronary artery(冠状动脉) disease by eight percent. This was compared to peers who ate it less than once a week.Chocolate is known to produce the same chemical in the brain as falling in love. Dr Krittanawong said,“Chocolate contains healthy nutrients such as flavonoids(类黄酮), polyphenols and stearic acid which may reduce inflammation.”Known medically as HDL(high-density lipoprotein)(高密度脂蛋白), it helps to rid LDL (low-density lipoprotein) out of the body. When this collects, it causes vessels and arteries to become blocked up. It can stop blood flow to the heart or brain, causing a heart attack or stroke. Dr Krittanawong said,“In the past, clinical studies have shown chocolate is beneficial for blood pressure.”Dark chocolate has long been known to have health benefits but recent research has suggested milk chocolate may also provide valuable nutrients to the heart. Dr Krittanawong pointed out his study did not investigate whether any particular type of chocolate was more beneficial—or if there was an ideal portion size. He said,“Chocolate appears promising for the prevention of coronary artery disease. But more research is needed to show how much and what kind of chocolate could be recommended.”While it’s not clear how much is perfect, Dr Krittanawong warned people against overeating. He said,“Moderate amounts of chocolate seem to protect coronary arteries but it’s likely that large quantities do not.”4.What does paragraph2mainly talk about?A.The result of the study.B.The process of the study.C.The participants of the study.D.The intention of the study.5.Which of the following can probably prevent blood flow?A.A heart attack.B.A stroke.C.High-density lipoprotein.D.Low-density lipoprotein.6.What does the recent study tell us?A.Chocolate is good for blood pressure.B.Dark chocolate is beneficial for health.k chocolate may also benefit the heart.D.Chocolate contains special plant chemicals.7.What’s Dr Krittanawong’s attitude towards chocolate’s preventing coronary artery disease?A.Indifferent.B.Hopeful.C.Negative.D.Uncertain.C(2021·辽宁高三3月联考)Few people realise that it takes many volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson.I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA), close to the Washington State border. It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers—approximately eighty—to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week. There is a large barn to clean, and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill. Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily... The list is endless.To prepare a horse for a ride, someone has to bring it in from the outside, at times sinking into inches of black, sticky mud during the winter months. Usually, two volunteers groom(刷洗; 梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle. Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place. There, one volunteer leads the horse, and usually two walk alongside for safety, one on each side. Then the horse must be returned to the barn, unsaddled, cleaned and fed.Yet so many people willingly give their time—because the children need us. Ranging in age from two upwards, the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities. Some have severe physical disabilities. Riding strengthens their muscles and bones, enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.Throughout my past life as an accountant, business author and speaker, I volunteered on many fields and in many organisations. However, a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head—causing severe brain injury. It was hard to accept a new “me”, until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for. I love horses, and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around. The journey back has been painful but worthwhile. Now, fourteen years later, I am a different person.8.What is the main idea of paragraph2?A.Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully.B.Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits.C.Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson.D.Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way.9.What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA?A.Risky and thrilling.B.Tiring but worthwhile.C.Funny and enjoyable.D.Demanding but fruitless.10.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A.The accident transformed her thoroughly.B.Volunteering has brought her a win-win result.C.She’s never recovered from the injury.D.She wasn’t interested in voluntary work before.11.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Helping Children in NeedB.Surviving the Brain InjuryC.Volunteering: A Journey BackD.Horse-riding: A Hard Lesson考点分类练(九)主旨大意题——段落大意类【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

01 人与社会--科学与技术Passage 1（2024高三上·全国·专题练习）Natural disasters like earthquakes and storms can pull down buildings easily. It's difficult for the search and rescue teams (搜救队) to find those who are trapped (陷于困境) in the fallen buildings.But an unlikely assistant, mice, is being trained up to help out. The project started by Belgian APOPO, is planning to tie tiny, high-tech backpacks to mice to help search for survivors (幸存者).“Mice like to explore —and that is key for search and rescue.” said Donna Kean, a scientist and leader of the project.“ Besides, their small size and excellent sense of smell make them perfect for locating (定位) things in small spaces.”The mice are being trained in a basic environment at present. They must first locate the target (目标) person in an empty room, pull a switch that starts an alarm on their clothes, and then return home, where they are given a treat.For the next part of training, Kean said the team would create “disaster-similar areas”. Once the mice are confident in these areas, the project will move to Turkey for further preparation in more real environments. If that goes well, the mice would probably enter real- life situations.The mice are still in the early progress of training. And APOPO is working with the Eindhoven University of Technology to develop a backpack with a video camera, a two-way microphone, and a locating tool to help communicate with survivors. “Together with the backpack and the training, the mice are very useful for search and rescue,” said Kean. “Even if our mice find just one survivor, we would be happy toknow they have made a difference somewhere.”1．According to the passage, What’s the reason for mice to be chosen for search and rescue① Because their nature of exploring.② Because their small sizes.③ Because their ability to smell something.④ Because their perfect eyesight in the dark.A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④2．Which paragraph tells how the mice are trainedA．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2.C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4.3．What can we learn from the passageA．Donna Kean is a survivor in an earthquake.B．The mice are being trained in real-life situations.C．APOPO scientists haven’t invented the high-tech backpack.D．The mice are often given a treat before they complete the task.4．What does Donna Kean think of the projectA．Nervous.

最新高考必刷题英语阅读理解(时文广告)题含解析
最新高考必刷题英语阅读理解(时文广告)题含解析一、高中英语阅读理解时文广告类1．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder's tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck's future in the role of Batman.Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There's something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don't expect to see in a film with such a big budget.Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.（1）Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.A. pity for the director, Zack SnyderB. concern about the film's qualityC. higher expectation of the new directorD. support for the actor, Ben Affleck（2）According to the author, what's special about Justice League?A. It advocates social justice.B. It brings lots of fun to the audience.C. It has some brave heroes.D. It brings back childhood memories.（3）In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.A. views on the film's weaknessB. advice to the film's directorC. love for the filmD. expectation of the film's sequels（4）The author mentioned another film producer to ______.A. stress the importance of fun in a filmB. show Justice League's lack of a serious plotC. serve as a warning to the producer of Justice LeagueD. set an example for the producer of Justice League【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。

高考必刷题英语阅读理解题一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again.As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it's going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they've got before it disappears again.Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that's not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.Regardless of what's causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.（1）What is people's reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?A. Full of fear.B. Quite delighted.C. Very disappointed.D. Extremely con fused.（2）What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?A. It is not located in Ireland.B. It disappeared 12 years ago.C. It once disappeared for more than 30 years.D. It is just made up of rocks and pools.（3）According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back?A. In 1982.B. In 2012.C. In 2016.D. In 2018.（4）What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon?A. Some abnormal storms lead to ocean's enlargement,B. It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach's disappearing.C. Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely.D. Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，爱尔兰西北部的一个海滩不易而飞，但过一段时间它又回来了。
传言阿什拉姆湾的海滩每七年返回一次，然后又消失。
有些人可能认为气候变化会导致这种现象，但地理学家凯文·林奇博士认为Achill这两个海滩不断消失的原因是流体力学和沉积物供应共同作用的结果。
而不是气候变化的原因。
(1)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的” off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.”及第四段中的“As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back,”。
可知，人们对于海滩的回归是非常兴奋的。
故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“The beach at Doonagh, located onl y six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind,”可知，Doonagh海滩于1984年被春天的风暴席卷了所有的沙子只留下岩石池，在2016年初恢复了。
由此可推断出Doonagh在消失了32年后又恢复了。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.”可知，Ashleam Bay是在2005年消失的。
第三段中的“There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappe ars again.” 当地方传说。
说阿什卡姆湾的海滩每七年恢复一次，然后又消失。
也就是2005+7=2012年回归，故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据第五段中的“Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.”可知，这种现象是流体力学和沉积物供应共同作用的结果。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，选出正确答案。
2．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she's been while she's on her worldwide vacation in a special way. The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag (地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg."I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board," Gallagher said. "My mum and grandmother didn't like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did."Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback (反馈), "My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do," she said. "I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, I've been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life."Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.（1）What message did Gallapher want to spread in her special way?A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe.B. She suffers little from her leg's amputation.C. she looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.D. She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.（2）What does the word "which" underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. the continentB. the picturesC. the legD. the location（3）Gallapher can best be described as ________.A. helpful and ambitiousB. friendly and generousC. determined and creativeD. independent and sensible（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Never Too Late to shareB. A Special Artificial LegC. An Outstanding PhotographerD. Gallagher's Summer Holidays【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】Devon Gallagher小时因病右腿截肢，尽管有很多不便，但她认为这可以激励她过上最好的生活。
