新高考高中英语阅读强化训练黄金组合卷(含答案解析)

新高考高中英语阅读强化训练黄金组合卷(含答案解析)(一)Ⅰ阅读理解Everyone has seen some young kids with music playing through their earbuds(耳塞), or girls rapidly writing messages on their phone. The youth of today are often addicted(沉迷于) to technological advancement whether through cell phones, gaming systems, or iPads. But are these technological advancements a good thing?Technology has a negative influence on us because it separates(把……隔开) individuals from reality. The iPod is one example. “For some people, the main attraction of the iPod is that it catches you so that you do not have to deal with the uncontrollable factors of everyday life,”writes Krystle Song on her website, a student from the University of California.The ability for people to surround themselves with the familiar by using their iPod is attractive because it rarely provides the listener with something unexpected or unknown. However, it can be argued that this is a bad thing. If we do not have to face reality by experiencing new things, making personal relationships, and solving problems, we will never be able to function as adults.Some argue that the Internet has a positive effect on social communication because it allows us to develop friendships online. However, the ability to meet people through chat rooms and other services is actually negative. There are dangerous people on the Internet who are a threat to young people. While some people think that the Internet can build openness,self­confidence,and a great sense of comfort, it can also provide opportunities for those who are too depressed to lead a social life in the real world. It is extremely unhealthy to make and keep all of your social communication online. We won’t be positively influenced by communicating through a computer screen if we already do not have the self­confidence to socially communicate in reality.I believe the advancement of technology has negatively affected our social communication because it separates us from what is happening around us, prevents communication, and spreads the concept of immediate satisfaction. Society must be able to use technology while not allowing it to prevent social communication, particularly for those who are easily influenced during teenage years.【解题导语】科技在给我们带来便利的同时,也阻碍了人与人之间最基本的交流。

高中专题(zhuāntí)英语黄金阅读理解题风俗类十二十二、生活类(1)Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!It’s “no〞.What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No〞.Sweet and simple “no〞.Say “no〞 at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, 〞said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.〞Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes〞need to say “no〞without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强迫的) ‘yes’, 〞 she said.Susie Watson says she feels “no〞obligation to give an explanation when she says “no〞 either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, 〞said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.〞Watson said “no〞is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year th ere are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, 〞Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s〞 greatest friend.“No〞can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No〞 may even take youfurther in the busin ess world than “yes〞.“No〞is power and strength. “No〞now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,〞Charles said. But, he added, a “no〞project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.〞1. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself〞 means _______.A. you can have more time to play with othersB. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happyC. you are selfish and treat others rudelyD. you can deal with your business as you have planned2. When you say “no〞 to others you should say it in a _______.A. secret wayB. polite wayC. proud wayD. guilty way3. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.A. they say “no〞 at a suitable timeB. they say “no〞 as much as possibleC. they are afraid of saying “no〞D. they make others angry at them4. If a person says “no〞to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.A. enjoys a wonderful lifeB. makes a lot of moneyC. faces difficulty in lifeD. forgets to say “yes〞 in the end【答案与解析】本文说明了人们在生活中敢于说“不〞的重要性,同时也提醒人们应注意(zhù yì)不要走向极端。

山东新高考高二英语阅读强化黄金组合训练(含答案解析)(一)Ⅰ阅读理解She was sitting up at four months, walking at eight months and completing 100­piece jigsaw puzzles(拼图玩具) at 15 months. So it is no surprise that Abigail Wilson, 15, from Connecticut,USA, recently made history when she became the youngest black girl ever accepted into an American university! “I’m proud of myself for getting in,but I usually find it hard to get excited. It’s pretty cool, I guess,”said Abigail.Her mother, Nancy, said that Abigail was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Christmas Day.She didn’t speak her first words until she was 22 months old! Nancy and her husband thought something must be wrong, but when she started to talk, her speech was perfect. She already knew her colours, letters and was able to read. Her parents read her normal bedtime stories and they didn’t know she was learning all of it.Abigail has always been the youngest person in her class. At six she was in the fourth grade, at ten she took her first high school class in Maths.She has studied several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and German.Abigail says that she doesn’t usually plan when she studies, she calls herself scatterbrained and she always delays(拖延) things up to the last minute. This gives her the motivation(热情) to really do something.In her free time, Abigail plays basketball, surfs the Internet, reads, cooks and hangs out with her friends: they are all 17 and 18. She has also studied music. Her mother says that Abigail’s music lessons helped her to be a normal teen. She believes that Abigail needed to be in a situation where she had to fail in order to learn. “She found playing the piano very difficult, but it made her learn better,”said Nancy. “She can’t always be successful, she won’t be able to learn anything!People always learn more from their failures than from their successes”.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

山东新高考高一英语阅读强化黄金组合训练(含答案解析)(一)Ⅰ阅读理解Living in a city in central Alaska, a state of the United States in extreme northwest North America, I have become used to extreme weather conditions. To us Alaskans, a 70 mph wind is something that just makes our hair untidy. Temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit mean that we can take off our coats. We are used to winter days with only 4 hours of sunlight, or summer baseball games that can start at 10:30 p.m. without artificial lighting. Getting used to such conditions is not too difficult, but Alaska’s faraway location creates another problem.Alaska is quite rich in natural resources(资源), such as wood, oil, and fish. Unfortunately, we must bring processed goods(加工品) from the other states. Most goods are shipped all the way to the port of Anchorage; the cost is nearly three times as much as that of sending goods from New York to Seattle by rail. The state of Alaska is the number one harvester of seafood in the United States. Our coastal waters contain plenty of king crabs, salmon, and other living things. But processed seafood can be bought more inexpensively in the state of Washington because Alaska does not have enough fish processing plants of its own and so must ship a great deal of seafood to Seattle for processing. In the end, the cost of long distance transportation drives up the price of the product.One thing that Alaskans need to consider is building more local processing factories. After all, there is plenty of fish to keep them running. Finally, it can do a lot of good to Alaskans by providing jobs, lower prices, and healthy competition.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Mockingbird,published in 1960.Immediately successful,it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature.In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that madereaders identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives.The result? Lee's book trailed only The Bible.Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain,this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide,reaching about 70% of American public schools.What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves.In the folds of dusty books,students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways.Disturbed by hormones and anxiety,teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration.Literature is a safety valve(安全阀)—it promises relief,a place to figure out one's problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect.It speaks in a child's voice without treating its readership as children.Some critics have called it an “impossible”achievement,a children's book penned by a well­educated adult—it's unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world.But that's exactly what makes it such a charming,attractive read for young people.It indicates the consciousness of a well­educated adult facing difficult realities,but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick,a third­year student focused on English literature at Brown University,calls it “one of the first books that kids and young adults read and that deal with serious issues—rape,race,mental issues”.She adds,“The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.”The book's setting,a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s,may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today.But Lee's words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006,however,critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the book's avoiding moral complexity in The Ne w Yorker.But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesop's fables.That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesn't mean the novel is free of challenging ideas,either.Will Serratelli,another literature student at Brown says,“There aren't many hard moral questions being asked...but it opens up all these other questions that I hadn't thought about before.My English teachers always asked,‘Doyou sympathize with this character? Would you want to hang out with them? ’When you give a kid a book where those questions don't even need to be asked,it_forces_them_to_dig_deeper.”Mallon's criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America.That's especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledge racial discrimination at all.However,To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one.Naomi Varnis,an African Studies student at Brown says,“It's another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters.”While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom,English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white author's perspective—and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word.But as a gateway to more mature ideas,and as a YA(young adult)distillation(提炼)of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before,Lee's novel is invaluable. 36.According to the passage,the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us ________.A.know more about the past U.S.economic situationB.understand what the real personality of humans isC.reduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesD.find and deal with some other complicated questions37.What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1?A.Was as good as.B.Tried hard to defeat.C.Went along the same route as.D.Had a lower score than.38.What can we conclude from Will Serratelli's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A.The kids are motivated to think further.B.The kids have to face more moral questions.C.The kids tend to sympathize with the characters.D.The kids are unwilling to answer challenging questions.39.Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the U.S.?A.Because it reveals racial discrimination in America.B.Because it makes some serious adult issues accessible.C.Because a white author tells the stories about black people.D.Because it is widely used as a tool for moral judgements in society.40.Who points out straight the shortcoming of the novel?A.Thomas Mallon. B.Naomi Varnis.C.Will Serratelli. D.Gaby Hick.41.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To tell us about the content of the novel.B.To introduce some different comments.C.To explain the reasons for its popularity.D.To approve of the creative writing style.参考答案一、单项选择1.A[考查动词时态和语态。

Enjoy.1.Harry Potter seriesThe Harry Potter books make up the popular series written by J.K.Rowling.The series includes seven books.The books concern a wizard called Harry Potter and his journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.The stories tell of overcoming dangerous obstacles to defeat the dark wizard Lord V oldemort who killed his parents when Harry was 15 months old.2.The Hunger Games seriesIn the ruins of a future North America,a young girl is picked to leave her poor district and travel to Capitol for a battle to the death in the cruel Hunger Games.But for Katniss Everdeen,the main character in this series by Suzanne Collins,winning the Games only puts her deeper in danger as the strict social order of Panem begins to unravel(瓦解).3.To Kill a MockingbirdAuthor Harper Lee explores racial tensions in the fictional “tired old town” of Maycomb,Ala., through the eyes of 6­year­old Scout Finch.As her lawyer father,Atticus,defends a black man accused of a crime,Scout and her friends learn about the unjust treatment of African­Americans—and their mysterious neighbor,Boo Radley.4.The Fault in Our StarsHazel Grace,a teenage girl,has got all sorts of cancer inside her body,and her lungs aren't working very well.She knows she is dying and doesn't live in hope any more.When a man named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at the Cancer Kid Support Group,Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。

新高考高二英语阅读强化黄金组合训练(含答案解析)

新高考高二英语阅读强化黄金组合训练(含答案解析)(一)Ⅰ阅读理解Banker Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown, New Jersey, seven years ago. Surrounded by working farms, he quickly became interested in the grow­it­yourself idea and rented a piece of 30­by­30­foot land. He planted tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables—enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn’t give it away. He found a local food factory, and donated(捐赠) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.The following year, with a handful of volunteers and a memorable name—America’s Grow­a­Row, Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables, all of which he donated to area food banks, places that give food to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton, who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?“I guess we were feeling honored,”says Meredith. Not only do the Comptons welcome Grow­a­Row volunteers, they also work on the land.What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year, Grow­a­Row will deliver about 250,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Their secret for getting all of this done? Family power. “Each week, a couple of families ‘own’the garden,”says Paillex. “They water, pick, and deliver, and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families.”Paillex also welcomes local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, some kids worked on a field. “We’re growing food,”one fifth grader said proudly.“The program shows kids that there are people in need,”says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow’s leaders, they’ll be much more likely to encourage their co­workers or employees to get involved in(参与) something like this.”“Chip makes people want to help,”says Colleen Duerr, a mother of two. “And families love this. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Organic vegetables, herbs and desserts are a feast for the eyes, before being put into the bag to be enjoyed later for lunch. The noises and smells of the market are unfamiliar, but their procedures are clear to me. This is part of why I love the place so much:Unlike during the week, when I'm constantly faced with my own difficulties, I know how this place works. My terrible French isn,t the barrier to communication that it is in other circumstances.At school and in the village, I can,t joke or join a conversation, and although the other parents at school are kind, I'm an outsider. But at the market, I'm justanother customer with a basket. Surrounded by day trippers, I feel like a local 一greeting people I know and petting dogs.My Saturday experiences allow me to hope that in the near future I'll feel equallyconfident in my everyday life. Until then, Saturdays prepare me for the coming week of the school run.语篇解读 作者一家在法国南部生活时间不长,由于语言不通,人生地不熟,且作者忙于孩子们在法语学校的日常生活和学业,新的环境让作者觉得不舒服,只有一个地方除外, 那就是周六街市。

I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading BarackObama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,“a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”.However,he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't. In the World Book Da y's “Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out),I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of people,I have read the book at number one,George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven't read him,but haven't lied about it either )and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to “impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella(ah,the big sellers,in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I'll come clean:I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).64.How did the author find his friend a book liar?A.By judging his manner of speaking.B.By looking into his background.C.By mentioning a famous name.D.By discussing the book itself.65.Which of the following is a “guilty secret”according to the World Book Day report?A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C.The author admitted having read 9 books.D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.66.By lying about reading,a person hopes to ________.A.control the conversationB.appear knowledgeableC.learn about the bookD.make more friends67.What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?A.Favorable.B.Uncaring.C.Doubtful.D.Friendly.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。
