高考英语阅读理解专项训练.附详解（教育类）(1)Doreen Sykora is now a junior at McGill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology(人类学) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed(加压力于) about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.1. What is the similarity between Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto?A. They are students from the same university.B. They failed in all the examinations.C. They both had experiences of test anxiety.D. They both had the same poor studying habits.2. The phrase “blank out” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_______.”A. lose interest in the examB. refuse to take the examC. get an extra paperD. be unable to think clearly3. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A. To help students to reduce test anxiety.B. To show a stress level experienced by students.C. To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D. To have a better understanding of test anxiety.【答案与解析】有些大学生患有考试焦虑症，不过现在好了，这些大学开设了特殊的课程来帮助他们缓解这种考试焦虑症。

专题能力训练十二阅读理解(三)A(2017·天津红桥区二模,D)In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣).Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often live-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse:“I may have lost,but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。

2018届高三英语二轮复习练习：专题四阅读理解2.4.4 Word版含解析

A(2017·深圳第一次调研) Much information can be conveyed，purely through our eyes，so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement？On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger，but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry about others’ staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information，right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze (注视) ，his intentions are obvious.That is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you，you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact，continuous eye contact happens between lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show love that words cannot express.Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.语篇解读本文介绍了“眼睛会说话”的观点，告诉我们不同场合眼神交流所代表的不同含义。

2018届高三英语第二轮复习资料-----阅读理解

阅读理解第一节（共15小題；每小題2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从毎题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

一“Wash your hands!” How many times have you heard that from your parents? You might think they’re just complaining you, but actually the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if you don’t wash your hands often, you can pick up germs from other sources and then make yourself sick. You’re at risk ever y time you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. In fact, one of the most common ways people catch colds is by rubbing their noses or their eyes after the cold virus has gotten on their hands.If people don’t wash their hands frequently (especially when the y’re sick), they can spread germs directly to other people or onto surfaces that others touch. And before they know it, everyone around them is coming down with something!Think about all of the things that you touched today —from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose and played with your dog. Whatever you did, you came into contact with germs. So it’s easy for germs on your hand to end up in your mouth.By washing your hands often in the right way, you’ll wash away germs — such as bacteria and viruses that you have picked up from other people, through polluted water and food, or from animals and animal wastes.Do you know that 1 out of 5 people don’t wash their hands after using the restroom? Students don’t wash their hands ofte n or well. In one study, only 58% of female and 48% of male middle-school and high-school students washed their hands after using the bathroom.Remember, washing your hands often is the key to preventing the spread of many common illnesses.1. What can we learn from the text?A. Some parents are always annoying children.B. We will catch colds if we rub our noses often.C. If we can wash our hands often, we will never get sick.D. It is easy for us to catch colds if we get the cold virus on our hands.2. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means “ _________ “ .A. falling to the groundB. seeing you with giftsC. getting an illnessD. leaving you alone3. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _________ .A. no one can free from germsB. telephones are as dirty as toiletsC. blowing our nose is harmful to usD. we are living in danger due to germs4. According to the text, what should we do to prevent the spread of the virus?A. Keep away from germs.B. Wash hands oftenC. Don’t touch dirty things.D. Don’t keep dogs.二We try to be our best at work. We offer more hours than we are expected but this damages our family life. We spend time with people who we have nothing in common with, and attend social events we have no interest in, even though very often end up unhappy.In fact, most people think about themselves and their own problems 99% of the time, and scarcely give others a second thought. Even so, we live our lives to impress them instead of being ourselves. We spend money that we can’t afford, purchasing the latest fashions, the best car, or even a house which is not a home but a show-house, to impress our friends and neighbors.When what others think about us starts to control our life, it is time to change. There are times, of course, when it is wiser to consider our effect on other people, such as going for a job interview. It’s time to wake up and think about ourselves, and start creating a sustainable future based on our own likes and dislikes. We should find out other ways to get our self-worth by being a loving parent, a good friend or helping others when we can. This will give us far more happiness.Think about your own life now and see if you need to make any changes. Look at your family and your true friends, the way you use your time, and focus on your motivating force. Make more rational (理智的) life choices that will give you a better future for yourself and your family.1. According to the text, people work over time because ____________ .A. they want to gain more payment.B. they tried to make others satisfied.C. they have nothing else to do but work.D. their family expect them to do so.2. It is better to think specially in others’ shoes when you _______.A. go for a holidayB. hunt for a jobC. visit your friendD. attend a lecture3. We’re advised to change when we are __________ .A. trying to avoid being controlled by others in lifeB. preparing better for a job interviewC. reducing our effect on othersD. making ourselves understood4. The next is arranged in a form of __________ .A. problem --–analysis --- solutionB. general view--- secondary viewsC. result---reasonD. point---evidence三My 18-year-old son passed his driving test last year. But my responsibilities linked to this event for a year were not my favorite. As the mother and sole parent, I’m up for the challenges. However, I don’t care for the challenge of being a Driving Instructor. I feel I did a good job. I was fairly patient, not too nervous. I didn’t want to make my son nervous because I was!Many hours were spent with him in the driver’s seat. I couldn’t take my eye off the road around us, always assuming idiot drivers will make mistakes. Mostly he was good. Several times he expertly avoided near collisions, which were the fault of the other drivers. One day though, while driving through Tim Hortons, he drove up to the window but couldn’t reach it to collect his order. So he undid his seat belt and reached over, and I heard the car engine roar. As he reached over, his foot depressed the gas pedal to the floor. Thank goodness he had placed the gear in park. Thank goodness I had taught him to do this.Two weeks ago he drove on the highway to Oakville. I was nervous. It was Thanksgiving weekend with everyone on the highway. I told him to slow down or stop a thousand times. “Mum, relax, you such a back seat driver.” he said. We made it there but he hasn’t driven much with me since. He told me he was n’t going to as I criticized him too much when he’s driving. This reminded me of the days when his dad was my passenger in the car. He would stretch his feet out to the imaginary pedals and grab the dash board like I was flying an airplane. How did that help me? It didn’t. It made me nervous and I stopped driving if he was in the car.I wonder how you stop being the driving instructor after being it for a year, especially now my 16-year-old daughter is starting to learn with me in the passenger seat. Lord help me please!1 . Which words can be used to describe the author?A. Kind and creative.B. Brave and caring.C. Stubborn but careful.D. Clever and hardworking.2. How did the author like her work as a driving instructor for a year?A. Worthy.B. BoringC. Interesting.D. Unsatisfactory.3. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _________.A. the author’s skilled drivingB. the author’s worry about her sonC. the author’s feeling about her son’s drivingD. the author’s success as a back seat passenger4. Why did the author mention her husband in Paragraph 3?A. To show she is a good driver.B. To show she is disappointed with her son.C. To show her husband is different from her son.D. To show the passenger’s reaction doesn’t help in the driver’s driving.四To control the nation’s growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean government has started a unique initiative (倡议) ----“Pay as You Trash”. According to the initiative, the South Korean government has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card –when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user's account. The user needs to settle this bill every month.The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around 190 won (less than $1). There's also a bar code management system in place, in which residents throw food waste directly into dustbins and pay for it by purchasing bar code stickers attached to the bin.Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste---the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of excessive waste. The more food they toss out, the more they end up paying.Thanks to the initiative, residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting creative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to strain all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to use as much as the edible parts aspossible,1. Why does the South Korean government decide to launch the initiative?A. People are complaining about food waste.B. More and more food wastes are produced.C. Food waste is worsening the government.D. People have little knowledge of saving food.2. The underlined word “pinch” in Paragraph3 means “______________” .A. joyB. amountC. painD. cause3. Before the initiative was launched, the residents ___________ .A. didn’t pay for their food wasteB. paid for their food waste by weightC. had to pay for their food garbage bagsD. paid for food waste equally in their blocks4. According to the text, the initiative “Pay as You Trash” _________ .A. is working effectivelyB. was thought to be unfair at firstC. is quite expensive to carry outD. is being attempted in some areas五When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．"Storm chasing (追逐)"is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the dayby checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous．The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds．Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm– chasing vacations during the storm season．Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．"Storm chasing is 95％driving,"says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．"Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley．"Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth."1. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _____.A. head straight for the center of the stormB. get into the car for safetyC. wait patiently for the storm to developD. collect information about a coming storm2. Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer3. By saying " it is all worth it " in the last paragraph,the author means that _____.A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth4. What can we learn from the text?A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment．B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms．C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world．D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people六Take a trip to one of London’s theme parks for an exciting day out.

Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty.They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.1. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.2. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.3. Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________ .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary4. what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD. People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.八Known as “The Man with the Golden Arm,” nearly every week for the past 60 years, James Harrison has donated blood plasma(血浆) from his right arm. The reasons can date back to a serious medical procedure.“When I was 14, I had a chest operation,” recalls Harrison, who is now aged 78. “My father said I had received 13 units of blood and my life had been saved by unknown people. So I said when I’m old enough, I’ll become a blood donor.”Soon after Harrison became a donor, doctors called him in. His blood, they said, could be the answer to a deadly problem.“In Australia, up until about 1967, there were about thousands of babies dying each year because of the rhesus disease (恒河猴症).” explains Jemma Falkenmire, of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.Harrison was discovered to have an unusual antibody (抗体) in his blood and in the 1960s he worked with doctors to use the antibodies to develop an injection (注射剂) called Anti-D which can prevent this disease.Harrison’s blood is precious. Every batch of Anti-D that has ever been made in Australia has come from Harrison’s blood. He and Anti-D are credited with saving the lives of more than 2 million babies, according to the Austral ian Red Cross blood service: That’s 2 million lives saved by one man’s blood.Harrison is considered a national hero, and has won numerous awards. He has now donated his plasma more than 1,000 times, but no matter how many times he’s given blood there’s on e thing that will never change: “I look at the ceiling or the nurses, maybe talk to them a bit, but never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I can’t stand the sight of blood, and I can’t stand pain.” he says.1. What was the main reason for Harri son’s becoming a blood donor？A. He has a golden arm.B. He has precious blood plasma.C. His father encouraged him to help others.D. Donated blood once made him survive.2. Why is James’ blood more precious?A. James has the Anti-D in his blood.B. His blood is more useful in treating the rhesus disease.C. James’ blood is the main source of Anti-D in Australia.D. James has donated more plasma than other donators.3. How does Harrison feel when donating his plasma?A. Nervous.B. Relaxed.C. AnxiousD. Excited.九In this day and age, it may seem like getting two people with different views together to discuss them is a recipe for disaster. Just think about what would happen if you sat down and had an open and honest conversation with someone with completely opposing views. Could it bringyou closer together?However, the Human Library Organization is counting on it.At a Human Library, people volunteer to become “books” and make their experiences open and available. “Readers” are encouraged to ask them questions freely, and they’ll get honest answers in return. There’s no judgment, and no questions are off-limits.You won’t find unpleasant comments, and you won’t lose faith in humanity. At the Human Library, you actually feel better about the world you live in. You might even make a new friend!“The human “books” consist of people who have been discriminated by society.” said Ronni Abergel, the Human Library Organization’s founder, who has set out to build a space for conversati ons that can challenge prejudices through dialogue. “The most pleasantly surprising thing about it is how close all the human books become to one another,” she said.Human Libraries help to remind us there really is more that unites us than divides us. And as events now spread throughout 82 countries, with Human Libraries even set to launch soon in Pakistan and Jordan, you can tell that is a shared feeling.“We can spend billions and billions on trying to build up homeland security and our safety, but real safety comes from having positive relations to other groups in your community,” said Abergel. “Real safety is not going to come from building walls. It’s going to come from reaching out and getting to know each other.”1. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Heated discussions are often carried out among people.B. Open dialogue can’t always lead to close relation.C. People with opposing views are not honest enough.D. We tend to have open dialogues with people around us.2. What will readers get at a Human Library?A. A fair judgment.B. Unpleasant comments.C. An available experience.D. Regaining confidence.3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “launch” in Para. 6 in meaning?A. Accelerate.B. Substitute.C. Succeed.D. Start.4. What did Abergel advise people to do to get real safety?A. Strengthen bonds between people.B. Join other groups in the community.C. Pull down walls between communities.D. Spend less money on homeland security.十A guiding principle for master cellist Yo-Yo Ma is that “the intersection (交汇) of cultures is where new things appear.” Certainly his biography is an intersection of cultures. He was born to Chinese parents in Paris, France; both his parents were musicians. When he was seven, his family moved to the United States. Gifted for his age, Ma attended Juilliard, the world famous music institute. He then chose to earn a liberal arts degree at Harvard rather than focusing only on music.Even in his earliest performing years, Yo-Yo Ma had a strong belief that it was important to share music with all kinds of people. Stories are told about how he once performed in the hallway of a large building for people who were unable to get tickets to his concert. He remained interested in making music accessible to diverse audiences and furthered his interest in different cultures when he visited the Bushmen of the Kalahari. He developed a vehicle to further these ideals when he founded the Silk Road Project.As he has said, the Silk Road is a metaphor(隐喻) for a number of things: as the Internet of ancient times, the routes were used for trade, by religious people, adventurers, scientists, storytellers. Everything from algebra to Islam moved along the Silk Road. It’s the local-global thing. In the cultural world, you want to make sure that voices don’t get lost, that rich traditions continue to live, without becoming common.This lesson explores the philosophy behind Yo-Yo Ma’s founding of the Silk Road Ensemble (乐团), his belief that the arts, and particularly music, can make the world better, and that through cooperation, one can both preserve tradition and shape cultural evolution. Students also explore their own attitudes toward the arts, writing reflective essays on how the arts have played a role in their own lives.1.What do we learn about Yo-Yo Ma according to Paragraph 1?A. He studied music in FranceB. He started his career in HarvardC. He showed great musical talentD. He earned a liberal arts degree in Julliard2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “vehicle” in Paragraph 2?A. CarB. MediumC. SkillD. Project3. What does Yo-Yo Ma think of the Silk Road?A. The route is key to musical developmentB. It has significant influence on the worldC. It simply helps with the spread of religionsD. Traditions are passed on through the route4.Why did Yo-Yo Ma found the Silk Road Ensemble?A. To foster cooperation in businessB. To record the voices along the routeC. To explore people’s attitude toward the artsD. To share music and promote cultural development十一If you need to spend time on the road, it's important to find ways to keep safe on your feet.Don’t suppose it’s your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won't be much help when you're in the hospital.Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren't supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals.

When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward, we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and "make ends meet". Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of student allowance.When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us "You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it's almost embarrassing to see her tight "financial policy", and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.1. What did the author learn from her parents?A. How to become a banker.B. Where to open a savings account.C. Where to choose a money box.D. How to make ends meet.2. How did the author manage the student allowance?A. He applied for a credit card.B. He spent it three times a year.C. He put it in the bank.D. He seldom withdrew it.3. What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”?A. Reducing her savings.B. Buying things on sales.C. Canceling holiday plans.D. Borrowing money from banks.4. What’s the text mainly about?A. Parents’ money problems.B. Students’ school education.。

专题4 阅读理解Ⅱ：细节理解题班级姓名学号分数（测试时间：45分钟）1.【湖北八校2018届高三上学期第一次联考】CCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops — a t least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”8. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.9. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.D. When to cut off the electricity supply.10. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C9. A【名题点睛】细节理解题一一对应型。

高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解(附参考答案) ATERNANG,Mon—More than 10 000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks.People straggling higher ground were just in time to get away from the destroy of the flood.Most of the flood victims had to leave their possessions behind.The flood victims are now housed in various make-shift relief centers in the nearby town of Tu lang.“Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people.”A government spokesman said,“In fact,money,food and clothing have begun to come in from p ublic-spirited organizations and generous persons.”According to latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang.The whole town is expected to be totally covered by water.So far no casualty has been reported.56.According to the latest report .A.it had been raining for six daysB.more than 10 000 people had no place to liveC.the town had already been totally floodedD.the government tried its best to help the homeless people57.With the help of the government,the flood victims .A.were safe at higher placeB.got

afterwards.Then I joined a slimming club.My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months.I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked.But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits.I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…but it didn’t happen.Instead of losing the pounds.I put them on.I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bage of fish and chips didn’t make any difference but the scales don’t lie.Roz Juma:To be honest,I never weigh myself any more I’ve leant to be happy with myself.It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips.My idea is simple.You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting.Instea d,you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body.This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and,most of all.I’m happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year.I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!That might have been my problem——perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself.Winning a national competition makes everything worse,though,because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you.I feel a complete failure because I’ve put onweight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin,I’d always been about 110 pounds,but th e pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year.Every so often I try to go on a diet …I’m really good on a few days,then end up having the childr en’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate——my weakness.I’d like to be slim,but right now my duty is the children and home.I might take more exercise when my kids are older.59.What do you think

club.B.Some tool to measure weight.C.Glynis Davis’dear husband.D.The salesperson in a food shop.62.Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?1.Glynis Davis a.I put on weight soon after got married2.Ros Jums b.Fame（名声）doesn’t necessarily mean success3.Leslcy Gowin c.Facts speak much louder than words4.Ros landford d.I like myself as I am,and to be

to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft thisyear”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.63.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because .A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC.he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD.he is thought highly of in the international world64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A.there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC.time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .A.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A.it can show NBA need talentsB.Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC.its whole level will be improvedD.it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous67.When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA,he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except .A.rules of basketballB.the speedC.cultureD.techniquesDAntigua and Barbuda is the 32nd

Mr.Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.He had been to London where he had drawn ￡50 from the bank,and he was now returning home with the money which he had put in his pocket book.At the loneliest part of the road a man in shabby,badly-fitting clothes stopped him and asked for a lift.Mr.Green told him to get into the car and continued on his way.As he talked to the man he

saw that the police-car had seen him and had begun to chase him.After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car.Mr.Green had hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber,but the man had taken a gun out of his pocket and had put it to Mr.Green’s back.The policeman took out his notebook and pencil and said he wanted M r.Green’s name and address.Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station but the policeman said,“No,I want your name and address now.You will have to appear at the police court later.”So,Mr.Green gave the policeman his name and address.The policeman wro te it down,put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving.Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.He had given up all hope of his ￡50,but just as he reached the outskirts of London,the passenger said he wanted to get out here.Mr.Green stopped the car,the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift.You’ve been good to me.This is the least I can do in return.”And he handed Mr.Green the policeman’s notebook.

savings.Recycling plastics and aluminum,for instance,uses only 5% to 10% as much energy as producing new plastic or smelting(提炼)aluminum.Long before most of us even noticed what we now call “the environment,” Buckminster Fuller said,“Pollution is nothing but the resources(资源)we are not harvesting.We allow them to be left around because we’ve been ignorant of their value.” To take one example,let’s compare the throwaway economy(经济)with a recycling economy as we feed a cat for life.Say your cat weighs 5kg and eats one can of food each day.Each empty can of its food weighs 40g.In a throwaway economy,you would throw away 5,475 cans over the cat’s 15-year lifetime.That’s 219kg of steel—more than a fifth of a ton and more than 40 times the cat’s weight.In a recycling economy,we would make one set of 100 cans to start with,then replace them over and over again with recycled cans.Since almost 3% of the metal is lost during reprocessing,we’d have to make an extra 10 cans each year.But in all,only 150 cans will be used up over the cat’s lifetime—and we’ll still have 100 left over for the next cat.Instead of using up 219kg of steel,we’ve used only 6kg.And becau se the process of recycling steel is less polluting than making new steel,we’ve also achieved the following significant savings:in energy use—47% to 74%;in air pollution—85%;in water pollution—35%;in water use—40%.1.What does Buckminster Fuller say about pollution?A.It is becoming more serious.B.It destroys the environment.C.It benefits the economy.D.It is t he resources yet to be used.2.How many cans will be used up in a cat’s 15-year lifetime in a recycling economy?A.50.B.100.C.150.D.250.3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To promote the idea of recycling.B.To introduce an environmentalist.C.To discuss the causes of pollution.D.To defend the throwaway economy.〚导学号44994000〛B(2017·浙江温州九校高三期末)As Charlotte arrived at the big living room,her mother Sarah and her new stepfather(继父)Robert Graham turned from the window and faced her.We shall never have Mom to ourselves again,Charlotte thought.If only she were just a kid,and could cry wildly in anger on the floor!Instead,she forced a smile.She rushed forward and threw her arms round Sarah and kissed her wildly,knocking her hat crooked(歪的)and making her cry out.“Darling!You’ll knock me down!”“You look great,mom!”Charlotte cried and knew she was shouting.She was hot again,red and untidy and looking like the last kind of girl any man would want to have as a stepdaughter.Her brother Nicholas,however,went to the other extreme.He was so calm that he was positively rude,and Charlotte knew before he started it that he was going to act like a bad schoolboy.“Oh Nicholas,do behave!” Sarah cried.“Robert,they’re showing off!”Although she was laughing,they both heard the little ring of disappointment in her voice,and both knew that they were letting her down.They had surely never had such a difficult moment.It was Robert Graham who saved the situation.He came forward holding out both hands.“I am deeply grateful to you two young peop le.You’ve had Sarah to yourselves for a long time.Thank you for agreeing to share her with me.I know it can’t be easy.”And although this was just the sort of words they would call dull,the sincerity(真诚)gave it a guarantee.They knew he meant what he said.He was indeed thanking them.And by doing so he pulled them back to reality and made them themselves again.4.Upon entering the living room,Charlotte experienced .A.a sudden sense of lossB.a curiosity to see her stepfatherC.an urge to be more polite than NicholasD.a feeling of anger directed at her stepfather5.Sarah found the moment difficult because she was .A.deeply moved by Charlotte’s greetingB.embarrassed by the children’s behaviorC.afraid Nicholas would leave herD.having doubts about remarrying6.The text suggests that Sarah and Robert .A.made the situation difficult on purposeB.found the children’s responses amusingC.cared about the feelings of the childrenD.felt upset about the children’s attitude〚导学号44994001〛C(2016·10月浙江)Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock.An express train was due to go past about thirty minutes later.If it were not stopped,that long train,full of passengers,would fall into the stream.“Someone must go to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought.But who was to go?She would have to go herself.There was no one else.In wind and rain she started on her difficult w ay.Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River,a bridge also built of wood,just like the bridge across Honey Creek.The storm had not washed this away,but there was no footpath across it.She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper.With great care she began the dangerous crossing,sometimes on her hands and knees,hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood waters below.If she should slip,she would fall between the sleepers,into the rapidly flowing stream.At last—she never knew how long it had taken her—she felt solid ground under her feet.But there was no time to rest.She still had to run more than half a mile and had onlya few minutes left.Unless she reached the station before the express did,many,many lives would be lost.She did reach the station just as the train came into sight.Fortunately thestation-master was standing outside.“The bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh,please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.The station-master went pale.He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light.He waved the red light as the train came into the station.It was not a second too early.7.What did Kate decide to do?A.Stop the express train.B.Check the signal light.C.Meet the passengers.D.Visit the station-master.8.Which of the following words best descri bes Kate’s journey?A.Fruitless.B.Boring.C.Well-planned.D.Risky.9.Why did the station-master turn pale?A.He suddenly fell ill.B.He realized the danger.C.He discovered his mistake.D.He became over-excited.〚导学号44994002〛D(原创)It began to rain yesterday morning and it still hasn’t stopped.Rain suggests gentle.It has not been gentle.The rain barrel,waiting to be attached to the downspout,was knocked over,not to mention a few chairs in the air.The university choir was to be transported to our venue(演出地点)by 4:45 p.m.They would be missing dinner at their dormitory,so one of our choir members prepared both a vegetarian meal as well as a non-vegetarian meal for the 25 singers.Others of us prepared side-dishes.Their bus never arrived for them.In the pouring rain,they had to take the taxi from Hyde Park to a stop near our concert site.Several of our members,dressed in concert dress,drove to the station making several trips to pick up the student singers,and not all of them arrived on the same train.It was amazing to see a numb er of volunteers,dripping wet themselves volunteering again to drive the students back to the university.The beauty of this was seeing everyone giving of themselves.Not only that,but offering to drive the students the distance back to the university,which was not a short commute(通勤).After many phone calls,still not quite certain what happened to arrival bus,but there was a bus waiting to take them back.Hopefully,everything will be in order today.10.What damaged the author’s pl an?A.The heavy rain.B.The heavy snow.C.The strong wind.D.The university choir.11.What did one of the choir members prepare for dinner for the 25 singers?A.Drink and fruit.B.Some snacks.C.Some side-dishes.D.A vegetarian meal and a non-vegetarian meal.12.What’s the most moving in the passage?A.Everything in order.B.The delicious dinner.C.Volunteers’ unselfish help.D.Several trips to the station.13.The underlined phrase “giving of” means in the last paragraph.A.releasingB.dedicatingC.losingD.helping参考答案阅读理解提升练(一) 细节理解题A【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

BMany of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质)，iron and zinc（not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants, As for cherries (樱花). they are so delicious who cares? However ,they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits. frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a“soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party；they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.24.

北京2018届高考英语二轮复习精品资料专题14：阅读理解(学生版)(word版有答案)

预测一高考阅读理解所选材料通常都是国外网站上的地道的英语文章，然后经过命题专家整合、改编而成。

文章主要介绍国内外的文化风俗、历史名胜、人文地理、著名人物等。

预测二文章的篇幅较短，词数多为280～330，兼顾多种体裁，通常有记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文等，要求考生充分利用所给信息，回答文章提出的问题。

通常文章难度不大，关键是考查考生高效处理信息的能力，还要求考生对文章有更深层次的理解。

但是题目并不容易，很容易出错。

全国卷的命题逐渐向地方自主命题卷，尤其是新课标地区的试卷看齐，不断增加词汇量和文章长度，向新课标过渡。

预测三题目设置灵活多样，通常以细节理解题为主，推理判断题为辅，兼顾猜测词义、句意题及目的意图题和主旨大意题。

这种命题特点要求考生更好地了解文章中的有用信息，提高阅读速度。

高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。

不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。

除此之外，还涉及非语言因素，如：对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。

考点1 主旨大意题1.主旨大意题常分为两类：(1)选出文章最佳标题；(2)概括文章或段落大意。

2.主旨大意题主要考查对文章进行概括或总结的能力，它要求在阅读短文时，能够提炼文章的中心思想，体会作者的写作意图，充分运用逻辑概括能力，透过字里行间获取文章最具代表性的观点、论点及作者的情感倾向。

研读近几年高考阅读理解，可以发现对主旨大意类的考查占有相当重要的地位。

【答题技巧】主旨大意题的三种思路：①寻找主题句，确定文章大意。

在许多情况下，尤其是在阅读说明文和议论文时，根据其篇章特点我们可以通过寻找短文的主题句来归纳出文章的主题。

主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种情况：开头、中间、结尾(或在开头结尾同时出现首尾呼应的主题句)，因此，仔细阅读这类文章或段落的首尾句是关键。

2018届高三下学期第二次统测英语试题含答案

第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of usable to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.1. The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighborsB. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiencesD. after using an iPad to communicate2. The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. do as wellB. offer generouslyC. give in returnD. accept with pleasure3. The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfactionB. real kindnessC. heartfelt thanksD. sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2018. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sample:“I loved taking the time to just ‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It’s a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun，interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2018 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide. Join us and experience art differently.4. The author quotes Thoreau’s words at the beginning to.A. arouse readers’ interest in artB. introduce the topic of the textC. stress the importance of lookingD. illustrate the joy of art appreciation5. A typical slow art activity .A. lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB. encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC. organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD. inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own6. What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A. The year of 2018 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B. It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C. It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D. Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1,200 different places.7. According to the text, the author .A. has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB. strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC. sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD. is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsCGot big plans for Friday night? That’s OK, we don’t either.Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little m ore special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumbr al lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8. According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?A. A blood moon.B. A total solar eclipse.C. A partial lunar eclipse.D. A comet without a tail.9. If you want to see Comet 45P, you will need to .A. wait around 7:44 p.m. ETB. stay up until 9:53 p.m. ETC. wake up before 3:00 a.m. ETD. start watching at 5:34 p.m. ET10. The author writes the text with the purpose of .A. introducing basic astronomy to the mediaB sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchersC promoting astronomical events among science scentsD informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A Comet 45P will be visible as it approaches the earthB Penumbral lunar eclipse will happen on Friday nightC. Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekendD. Eclipse, full moon, comet team up to put on a show on Friday nightDThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2018 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger (合并)agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2018, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.12. According to the text, in the Super Bowl .A. the New England Patriots have won nine timesB. the Pittsburgh Steelers have won six titlesC. Arabic numerals are used to refer to each gameD. winners of the last season play against each other13. On Super Bowl Sunday, American people usually .A. buy expensive Super Bowl ticketsB. consume the most food of the yearC. avoid the Super Bowl commercialsD. enjoy performances by famous artists14. In 2018, the Super Bowl was held.A. 46thB. 49 thC.51stD.55th15. We can know from the text that the Super Bowl .A. is a public holiday in the United StatesB. is the annual championship game of AFLC. launches a new season of the National Football League every yearD. has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the y第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018届高三英语二轮复习高考保分巩固练十二含答案

高考保分巩固练十二限时40分钟Ⅰ. 阅读理解I believe in leaving work at five o’clock. In a nation with such a strict work ethic(道德规范), this is considered strange. Working only 40 hours a week? I just don’t know many people who punch out(打卡下班)at five o’clock anymore.My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and devotion to a career. But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs.My father, a self-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired. His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetes(糖尿病). Despite all this, he insisted on traveling a long way to give a lecture. He probably earned a lot of money that day, but he paid the price. He returned to the hospital soon afterwards and was dead within three months, aged just 58.It’s been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night andsince then, I’ve thought a lot about work. I’ve decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs exhausted. As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work myself into the ground, physically or emotionally. Not taking my work home didn’t come easily to me at first. After all, I am my father’s daughter. In college, I was the girl who sat on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open. I even dreamt about schoolwork.My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunset; he had to be doing something as he looked at it—writing, reading, playing chess. You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in many languages. That’s an impressive list, but the thing I want to do is gaze at sunsets. I don’t want to meet a deadline during them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book.This raises the question: If I leave work at five o’clock to watch the sunset, what are the consequences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, because honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won’t earn me the best promotion. But hey, leaving work at five o’clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and cycle through the streets of my hometown when there is no traffic.And I get to take in a lot of sunsets. That’s got to be worth something.【文章大意】文章介绍了我的父亲经常教导我努力工作的重要性, 正是这么兢兢业业地工作带来的劳累, 使父亲早早去世了。

阅读理解综合练(十二)A(2016·10浙江)Digital technology—email and smart phones especially—have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so,mostwhite-collar work still happens in an office.One reason is that,according to findings of a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix,most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it,and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey,which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely,while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner.It is true,however,that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的),because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.It’s much faster,for example,to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush.The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value.Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home.Under such circumstances,smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.1.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?A.They fear losing control of their workers.B.They want to stick to their routine practice.C.The y have little trust in modern technology.D.They are used to face-to-face communication.2.What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?A.Doubtful.B.Favorable.C.Reserved.D.Disapproving.3.What does the author suggest smart firms do?A.Shorten their office hours.B.Give employees a pay raise.C.Adopt flexible work patterns.D.Reduce their staff’s workload.〚导学号44994032〛B(2017·山东寿光高二期末改编)“If music is the medicine of the soul(灵魂),let it play on,” said a famous person.I think he said so because probably he got some help from music.Music has some strange abilities.Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family,starting a new business,and starting a new job,one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way.Music hel ps you to forget th e life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.Depression(抑郁) is a disease caused by stress,smoking,social problems and so on.Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business.Depression may bring us weakness,headache,and loss of concentration.Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days.If you play music about love,it makes you feel likefalling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences.And such good feeling makes you healthy.Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music.Anxietyis a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast.Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.Good music can send you to sleep.And you need to know that sleep puts your bodyin a healthy condition.Sleep takes away the effects of stress,depression and anxiety from a person.4.According to the famous person in Paragraph 1,music can.A.treat many kinds of diseasesB.help you keep healthy in your mindC.take the place of medicine in treating illnessD.make you remember things happened in the past5.Good music helps people remove stress mainly by .A.letting people have a good sleepB.making people think positivelyC.showing something new to peopleD.making people focus only on important things6.What’s the best title of the passage?A.The health benefits of listening to musicB.Stress can bring us many kinds of diseasesC.Some diseases have something to do with musicD.Tips for us to live a healthy and comfortable life〚导学号44994033〛C(2017·河南洛阳统测)Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you.According to the ancient Greeks,there are three basic tools of persuasion:ethos:pathos,and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he istrustworthy,honest and reliable.One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field.After all,you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that he is a good person.If an audience cannot trust you,you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions.For example,a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war.These words are intended tofill the audience with fear,thus making them support him.Similarly,an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats,to make the viewers feel pity.If the audience feels bad for the animals,they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of truths,statistics,or other evidence to support your argument.An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have conv incing data to back up your claims,for example,in an ad for washing powder.Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “Believe me”.Although ethos,pathos,and logos all have their strengths,they are often most effective when used together.Indeed,most speakers use a combination ofethos,pathos,and logos to persuade their audiences.So,the next time you listen to a speech,watch a commercial,or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money,be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.7.How is a speaker able to show his ethos to the audience?A.By expres sing his sympath y with the audience.B.By telling the audience about his personal preference.C.By using beautiful language to make his statements attractive.D.By showing his knowledge and experience relating to the topic.8.Why is logos used for a commercial?A.To get the audience’s sympathy.B.To prove the speaker knowledgeable.C.To convince the audience with facts.D.To make the viewers your potenti al voters.9.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A.Don’t use tools of persuasion.B.Never lend money to friends.C.Be careful of skillful persuaders.D.Look out for the ancient Greeks.10.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A.Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.B.Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.C.Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D.Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.〚导学号44994034〛参考答案阅读理解综合练(十二)A【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。
