选项中有两项为多余选项。
They Just Can't Help ItMy theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy —the ability to understand other people —and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems. ________ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ________ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions. ________ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ________ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. ________ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist, and why they are there.A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.B. Their preference for building systems may change over time.C. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.G. Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.【答案】 A；F；C；D；G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，阐述男性与女性差异各有优缺点。
高三英语二轮复习专题一 强化练(七)
强化练(七)主旨大意题(2)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2023·浙江五校联考)On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.When I first let them sign up for the forest school program，I loved the idea, but as a mum，I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly，they stared at me in confusion.They didn't understand my question, which fittingly removed my concern.In this program, kids direct their own play，climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted toself-adjust.Something else my sons appreciate about the forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.“What about all the things they're missing in real school？”concerned parents have asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it's a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close—a skill that's virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups.They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.I appreciate it that the forest school is shaping my boys' relationship with theoutdoors.They're learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time，and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.1．What is special about the forest school program?A．Teachers engage in kids' play.B．Kids play and learn outdoors.C．It focuses on nature protection.D．It offers various foods and drinks.2．How did the author feel about kids' reaction to her question?A．Awkward. B．Concerned.C．Relieved. D．Proud.3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The concerns caused by the program.B．The benefits gained from role-play.C．The skills acquired by children.D．The games loved by teachers.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Nature：a Wonderland for the YoungB．The Forest School Program Proves a HitC．Parks Are Replacing Traditional SchoolsD．Forest School：a Fine Place for My Kids[语篇解读]本文主要讲述了作者的两个儿子在森林学校项目中的收获以及该项目的好处。

高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案
高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案高考英语二轮复习阅读训练1：What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.learning better at school shows power in your jobthe better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.we should think about how to find our career47. From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.A. heavy- handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. The relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. How to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at school二轮复习阅读训练答案：46- 50 BDCAA高考英语二轮复习阅读训练2：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, 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 (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) 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 andpays 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 se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt 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 the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones 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 discovera new meaning in competition.41.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self – respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition42.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.43.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success44.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those witha desire to fail ?A.Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.Ones success in competition needs great efforts.C.Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.45.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life – and – death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.二轮复习阅读训练答案：41.B 42.A 43.C 44.A 45.D。

2021届高三英语二轮(èr lún)专项训练：阅读理解〔60〕阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C、D〕中选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no〞. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small e xperiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man y tests and at lasthe got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs .According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by us ing the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours.But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been t here for only an hour.Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.1. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.A. a red box is heavier than a white oneB. a color has weight in one’s mindC. white paper is lighter than red paperD. you can know the weight of a color by holding it2. Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A. Because people can sense the light from colors.B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.3. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ___________.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then4. It can be implied from the text that ___________.A. colors have orders in weightB. colors can change the weight of an objectC. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health5. This passage is probably a ___________.A. book reviewB. fiction novelC. fairy taleD. science reportBPop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty (皇室(huángshì)). Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage(随从) of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported，for, like royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are great.And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation (奉承(fèng cheng)) on an all time scale. By today’ s standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title “Top of the Pops〞 is fierce, but the rewards are truly huge.It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency —often more than large industrial companies —and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库). So who would begrudge them their rewards?It’s all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. Aman working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it, he will certainly earn them. That’ s the essence of private enterprise.6．The author develops the passage mainly by ________.A. comparing different ideasB. giving explanationsC. inferringD. listing typical examples7. The underlined word “begrudge〞 in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. be jealous ofB. be satisfied withC. be anxious aboutD. be crazy about8．According to the passage, which of the following can match the view of the author?A. He who laughs last laughs best.B. If you venture nothing, you will gain nothing.C. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.D. Success belongs to the persevering.9．The author holds a(n) ________attitude towards the high income of pop stars.A. criticalB. approvalC. optimisticD. indifferent10．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. People are blind in idolizing stars.B. There is fierce competition in becoming pop stars.C. The government taxes pop stars very little.D. Pop stars’ life is more luxurious than that of royalty.CThe world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2021, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2021, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200million dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构(xūgòu)的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X — or Nibiru — heads toward or collides with the Earth.Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) 〞. “There is no factual basis for these claims，〞 NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2021, 〞 it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting alo ng just well for more than four billion years，〞 added NASA.There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.Initial theories set the disaster for May 2021, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2021 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2021,as another period begins immediately afterward.And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible〞， NASA said.“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，〞 NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，〞 the space agency said.11．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.A. A new bookB. The Internet and a new Hollywood movieC. NASAD. An Indian calendar12．The film 2021 is________.A. about the end of the worldB. based on the scientific predictionC. well accepted in the science fieldD. about a romantic love story13．We can infer that________.A. people didn’t take the rumor seriouslyB. Planet X — or Nibiru does existC. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten yearsD. the rumor caused a panic among some people14．NASA thinks that Eris________.A. might pose a threat to the EarthB. doesn’t pose any threat to the EarthC. is too far away to be visibleD. is similar to our planet, where life might exist15. Which of the following is the best title?A. New Hollywood movie 2021B. December 21, 2021, NOT the end of the worldC. End of the ancient Mayan calendarD. How rumors came into beingDThe early 1900s were very different from today. Toys, though they have evolved in many ways, were still the delight of children everywhere.Theodore Roosevelt’s Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear.〞In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy〞 after the president’s nickname. The Teddy Bear became known worldw ide, and is still known and loved today. It was only a few years later thatthe Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented. It was a steel, motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything. Its creator was A.C.Gilbert, a medical doctor.Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspapercartonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter. That was in 1915.The following year, an architect’s son named John Lloyd Wright, invented Lincoln Logs, which were interlocked to make structures.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created, stuffed(填塞(tiánsāi))Mickey Mo use dolls were made by Charlotte Clark. This was the start of Disney merchandise.The yo-yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929.The View-Master, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber. The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3-D images from Disney movies and television programs.Finally, in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced. They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught on as a toy.The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times. Isn’t it interesting to know that if it hadn’t been for all these creative people, most of the games you know today would never have been?16. Why were toy bears named “Teddy〞?A. To be suitable for mass production.B. To be easily pronounced by children.C. To meet the advertisers’ needs.D. To memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.17. In which aspect do the toys created by Gilbert differ from those by Charles?A. ShapeB. Material usedC. ThemesD. Price18. When did the View-Master become popular?A. After William Gruber was born.B. After Gruber licensed Disney characters.C. Two years after Mickey Mouse was created.D. When Disney merchandise was started.19. From the last paragraph we can learn that .A. those people who created these games should never be forgottenB. some toys created in ancient times now disappearC. creativity exists in every field all the timeD. toys nowadays are totally different from those in ancient times.20. What does the passage talk about?A. The function of toys.B. The history of Disney characters.C. Toys in the early 1900s.D. The financial meaning of toys.BAABD BABBB BADBB DBBAC内容总结（1）2021届高三英语二轮专项训练：阅读理解〔60〕阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C、D〕中选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must be careful of the rise in population at the same time.( ) 1.Our world is becoming much smaller .A. because the earth is being polluted day and nightB. because science is developingC. because of the rise in populationD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year( ) 2.Thousands of years ago, life was it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. as hard asD. much harder than( ) 3.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means.A. water pollutionB. air pollutionC. noise pollutionD. rubbish参考答案：BDCBIslamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived a fall of over 500 feet on the 25530-foot mountain in Pakistan Saturday. The two climbers were climbing anice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge (悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers. “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers would almost certainly have met their death. “It’s a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall. We are thankful that we survived.”When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape, the two climbers replied, “Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.”( ) 4.The mountain climbers survived because ____.A. they had fallen only 5000 feet downB. of the ledge and the loose snow on itC. of their strong bodiesD. they were very good climbers( ) 5.If there had not been the snow-covered ledge, ____.A. they wouldn’t have fallen downB. they would have been woundedC. they would have lost their livesD. they would fall into the deep snow( ) 6.How high was the ledge from the foot of the mountain?A.25600 feet highB. 2000 feet highC.25530 feet highD.

For example, Jenny is the name of a student from England. England is the name of her country. Cities and towns have names, too. Schools and office buildings also have names. All things have names. For example, tomato, potato and bean are names of vegetable. Apple, orange and banana are names of fruits. Names are important.We use names every day. When we meet a new person, we usually ask: "What's your name?" It's important to learn a person's name. Most people have two names. Some people have more names. Names are different all over the world. In Jenny's class, Jenny must learn the names of students from all over the world. This is very difficult because the names are different.In the USA, most people have a first name, a middle name, and a last name. Parents choose the first and middle names for their baby. There are names for boys and names for girls. For example, John, Peter, Tom and Mike are all names for boys. Elizabeth, Betty, Susan, and Mary are all names for girls. The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father's family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.Sometimes a person has a nickname, too. A nickname is a special name. It is not a person's real name. Abraham Lincoln's nickname was 'Honest Abe'. An honest person always tells the truth, and Abe is short for Abraham. Because he was an honest person, his nickname was 'Honest Abe '. Pele is a nickname, too. The football player's real name is Edison Arantes de Nascimento, but everyone calls him Pele. Do you have a nickname?Names are different all over the world. They can be long or short, but they are always very important.( ) 12.Why does everything have a name? Because .A. it is very interesting to have a nameB. it is very easy to be rememberedC. it is very easy to be told from othersD. both B and C( ) 13.It is difficult to learn names all over the world because .A. there are many names all over the worldB. the names in different countries are differentC. some names are very short, some are very longD. some people have nicknames( ) 14.Which of the following is true?A. It's easy for Jenny to learn the names of her classmates.B. There is no difference between girls' names and boy's names.C. Jenny doesn't want to learn the names very well.D. It's difficult to learn the names because they are different.( ) 15.What names are for girls?A. George, Linda, SusanB. Tom, Jill, CandyC. Elizabeth, Betty, MaryD. Peter, Jeff, Jack参考答案：DBDC第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz（活力），it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing?1 .Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3 Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. Whenstudents know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see．4 When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students write for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle.5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning（微调）. Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explore who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.参考答案：CEDAG。

阅读理解专题特训16能力升级训练第26页A(2016·全国Ⅲ卷,C)If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by theRomans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。
二轮复习高考英语专题复习 任务型阅读(含答案)
二轮复习高考英语专题复习任务型阅读(含答案)一、高中英语任务型阅读1．任务型阅读Just as team members today have assigned doing roles, there should also be thinking roles. By knowing how other members of your learn and organization think---and by others knowing how you think—everyone can be more productive. So how should you evaluate how you and your team think? After a lot of trial-and-error, we developed a three-step method that delivers practical and meaningful results.Focus. Do you tend to pay the most attention to ideas, process, action, or relationships? For example, in the morning do you think about the problems you need to solve, the plans you need to make, the actions you need to take, or the people you need to see? This isn't about picking one to the exclusion(排除)of the other. It's about where your focus naturally lands.Orientation(方向). A good way to identify your orientation is thinking about what tends to bother you in meetings. Are you more likely to complain about getting dragged into the weeds or about things being too general and not specific enough? These dimensions are complementary(补充的)to personality, skills, and traditional roles.Combination. By combing these two dimensions you can know about the thinking style at work in whatever context or setting you chose. When you know your thinking style, you know what naturally energizes you, why certain type of problems are challenging or boring, and what you can do to improve in areas that are important to reaching your goals. Once you know your style, it helps to share it with others, and have others share theirs with you. In this way, your thinking style becomes a useful tool---a kind of social currency---for the team. Imaging you put together a team to work on a new initiative(行动). Wouldn't you like to know who is energized by big-picture strategy discussions and who finds them frustrating? Who likes to work on the details of the execution? And who is energized by managing the team dynamics?The landscape of business is changing rapidly, and we have to find new and better ways to connect and communicate. We all want to work better together, the challenge is actually making it happen. Understanding collaboration(合作)through the way of thinking rather than doing is a practical and powerful step forward.【答案】equally；improve/increase；evaluating；thinking；choice；whether；combine；contributes/leads；Conclusion；how【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，正如今天的团队成员分配的角色一样，也应该有思考的角色，两者同样重要。

We had always lived in a small city，in the house my dad had gotten from my grandparents» who had wanted fresh air, green food and lots of room for their children but failed. My father held the same will. He'd worked multiple jobs and saved for many years... and could finally afford a place in the countryside. Now a minor concern：the house had no running water or electricity. But there were 150 acres to run around in!That first year my dad put in electricity, because my mom simply announced, "I won't have oil lamps with children running around!" Indoor plumbing （管道系统）had to wait another year. Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if he'd take their large dogs who couldn't run free in the city. So we all now played with a big orange- brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we named Billy and Molly.Minimalism was our goal, and also our only choice. Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs. Bananas and oranges were rare "imported" fruit we'd seen at holidays. We felt we were younger than peers （同龄人）--- there was ONE birthday party a year! We'd take turns... once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!While money was so scarce, we had joy to hand all the time. My mother was always singing, yelling, or hugging. And she told us we owned plenty! To this day, each of us remembers those years as an abundance of things, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together! Every challenge was a game to defeat, and any failure was a chance to learn there.4. Why did the author's father move their family to a farm?A. To carry out the wish of his parents.B. To start a brand new life in a luxury house.C. To improve the children's living environment.D. To get rid of the heavy workload in the city.5. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. There was no electricity in their rooms.B. Two dogs became part of the author's life.C. The author's mother had a sharp tongue.D. Their rural life became the envy of friends.6. What is the author's tone in paragraph 3?A. Hopeful.B. Upset.C. Amazed.D. Amusing.7. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “scarce" in the last paragraph?A, Practical. B. Accurate. C. Tight. D. Essential.CThink of the many different ways you enjoy fish or other seafood ：steaming fish ball soup» grilled salmon, boiled shrimp and more. Now think about not having this delicious food because of no more fish and seafood. You would likely miss them a lot, and not just you. Nearly half of the world's population relies on seafood as a major source of protein.Harvesting fish and other sea life isn't bad for the ocean, but harvesting it faster than it can recover is. This is called overfishing, and the number of overfished wild stocks has tripled in the past 50 years. Overfishing affects not only a food source but many economies. Many businesses and jobs depend on fishing for their livelihoods. When fish stocks shrink, people lose their means of supporting themselves and their families. Worldwide, fishing is a US $ 362 billion business. Over 4 million fishing boats sail the waters of the world. Many boats are becoming increasingly efficient, which increases overfishing.According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN，one third of the world's fisheries are being pushed beyond their natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (误捕的鱼).This means unwanted sea life is captured along with the desired catch and is thrown away. Thus, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost.The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood producers for over 20 years. They have developed standards promoting sustainable fishing. When fisheries meet MSC's standards, the oceans and those who make a living from them are protected. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working to increase that percentage.What can you do? Look for MSC's blue fish label, which appears on over 30, 000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you're supporting a fishery that is contributing to healthier oceans.8. Which of the following opinions will the author favor?A. We need to develop more fish recipes.B. Many people consider seafood as nutritious.C. You can never eat fish and other seafood too much.D. It's great to treat your friends to tasty seafood.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Many people live by fishing.B. Overfishing isn't always bad for the ocean.C. Fishing economies are picking up soon.D. Many boats have no fish to catch.10. What measure has been taken concerning overfishing?A. Bycatch is thrown back.B. More investment is put in fisheries.C. All the countries are called on to conserve the ocean.D. Some requirements for green fishing are made.11. What's the author's suggestion for readers?A. Buying the seafood with MSC's certification.B. Looking for MSC's blue fish label worldwide.C. Making contributions to fishing in eco-friendly environment.D. Predicting about the oceans and the fish for years to come.DOne of my favorite studies asked one group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students wa s asked to write about their "everyday self” and a third group of students was asked to write about the campus bookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning in life.The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays, their assumption being that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically （真实地）connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday self or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of purpose in life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay, the more the person experienced meaning in life.To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wisecracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in one's life comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who is connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are can you start to authentically connect with others.So, set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that true self more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The process of a study.B. The meaning in life.C. Three groups of students.D. Writing tasks to evaluate life.13. What's the finding of the researchers?A. Everyday self has connection with the campus bookstore.B. More various essays interpret life meaning better.C. The participants with detailed essays live meaningfully.D. More true self description makes one experience life meaning better.14, What can make you genuinely connect with others?A. Following values and dreams set by others.B. Communicating with your true self.C. Changing "everyday self" into "true self".D. Being able to contribute to society.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Connect with Life - Dream Is ValuedB. Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?C. Be Yourself —Everyone Else Is TakenD. Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?1-5 DCACB 6-10 DCBAD 11-15 AADBC第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
高三英语二轮复习专题突破精品训练阅读理解_
位敦市安定阳光实验学校高三英语二轮复习专题突破精品训练：阅读理解AWe keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children.Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was…” (dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If y ou are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, don’t worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.51. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentencebefore he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his________.A. humorB. sympathyC. deep concernD. medical knowledge52. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_______.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happen at the same time53. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.54. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.55. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _______ attitude towards TV plays.A. positiveB. casualC. negativeD. indifferentBMANILA, Philippines (AP) — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday.Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts.Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province."We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes."After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a cranelifted it into a truck, he said.The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland(沼地) in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southeast of Manila, Elorde said."It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people.They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.56. What can we infer from the passage?A. The villagers captured the crocodile by chance.B. The crocodile the villagers have captured is the largest crocodile captured in recent years.C. The town has already built an ecotourism park for the crocodile.D. Not all the crocodile live in saltwater.57. What can we know about the crocodiles in this area according to the passage?A. The crocodiles in the area are very friendly to the villagers.B. The crocodiles usually wander about in the center of the town.C. The crocodiles in the town have become a threat to the villagers.D. The capture of the male crocodile took three months.58. What happened to the crocodile after it was captured?A. It was sent to the ecotourism park for species found i n a vast marshland.B.

Shocked.D. Happy.60. In Elorde’s opinion, the existence of the crocodile in the wild in this area is __________.A. threateningB. puzzlingC. reasonableD. suspectingADADC DCCCALong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing( 咒骂) the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided intothree periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted (转换) to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referee s should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.51. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.A. reexamine the rules for football refereeingB. analyze the causes of errors made by football refereesC. set a standard for football refereeingD. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup52. The findings of the experiment show that _______.A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB. the far ther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot53. The word “officials” most probably refers to _______.A. the researchers involved in the experimentB. the inspectors of the football tournamentC. the referees of the football tournamentD. the observers at the site of the experiment54. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is45.B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C. A football referee s hould be as young and energetic as possible.D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.BPsychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emph asizes treatment of the “whole” patient.The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather ina trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How to use the mind against disease.56. How does psychological therapy work?A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.57. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.?A. The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C. The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D. Few patients have emotional response to the disease.58. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that _____.A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB. the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC. the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them59. It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to _____. .A. help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease sB. help the patients with chronic diseasesC. help change some bad habitsD. help cure patients of insomnia（失眠症）60.

阅读理解专题特训16A(全国Ⅱ卷,D)I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiasticreader,sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties,I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.I always read,using different voices,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.Now,I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.As a novelist,I’ve found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers,a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries,in their own way,help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.1.Which word best describes the author’s rel ationship with books as a child?A.Cooperative.B.Uneasy.C.Inseparable.D.Casual.2.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph3 refer to?A.Pleasure from working in the library.B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.D.A closer bond developed with the readers.3.What does the author call on other writers to do?A.Sponsor book fairs.B.Write for social media.C.Support libraries.D.Purchase her novels.4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Reading:A Source of KnowledgeB.My Idea about WritingC.Library:A Haven for the YoungD.My Love of the LibraryB(全国乙卷,D)During an interview for one of my books,my interviewer said something I still think about often.Annoyed by the level of distraction(干扰) in his open office,he said,“That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I canfocus.” His comment struck me as strange.After all,coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout(布局).But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background,from total silence to 50 decibels(分贝),70 decibels,and 85 decibels.The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however,the participants in the 70 decibels group —those eilar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.But since the results at 70 decibels were significant,the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence —may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interruptour normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander,without making it impossible to focus.This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that,in our offic es,we can’t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying tofocus.Indeed,the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.1.Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?A.It helps him concentrate.B.It blocks out background noise.C.It has a pleasant atmosphere.D.It encourages face-to-face interactions.2.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?A.Total silence.B.50 decibels.C.70 decibels.D.85 decibels.3.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?A.Personal privacy unprotected.B.Limited working space.C.Restrictions on group discussion.D.Constant interruptions.4.What can we infer about the author from the text?A.He’s a news reporter.B.He’s an office manager.C.He’s a professional designer.D.He’s a published writer.CI hadn’t walked across o ur old farm in the past fifteen years.Yet the memories came flooding back.Rain or shine,I used to walk this path each day to see Greta.She always made me smile,even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel.I would help Greta with her chores(家务活).Then we would taste her delicious home-made chocolate cookies and ice cream.Staying in a wheelchair didn’t stop Greta from being an outstanding cook.Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.First,she taught me how to read.She also taught me thatwhen I forgave my sister for our quarrels,it meant I wouldn’t keep feeling like a victim.Instead,I would feel sunny.Mr.Dinking,the local banker,tried to take away Greta’s house and land after her husband passed away.Thanks to Papa and Uncle Johan,Greta got to keep everything.Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta’s home-made cookies and ice cream.Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr.Dinking who later became one of her best customers and friends.That’s just how Greta was.She c ould turn anyone into a friend!Greta always said,“Dear,keep walking in the sunshine!” No matter how terrible my day started,I always felt sunny walking home from Greta’s house—even beneath the winter starlight.I arrived at Greta’s house today just after sunset.An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door.When I ran into the old house,Greta recognized me right away.She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm.Her last words to me were,“Dear,keep walking in

of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth,instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,“Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my

would contain.Wit h her dad’s permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards, she and her father secured their first businessmeeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sellM oore’s product—CanCandy.As CanCandy’s success grows,so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she’s also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a

As they approached an intersection, another car crashed them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.As smoke rose from the car, a bystander shouted, “It's about to blow up! Get out！” Shaken but OK, Norwood crawled out thr ough the window as the driver's side door couldn't be opened.Along with two of her friends，who'd also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life. But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn't with them. Norwood ran back and found Simmons unconscious in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. After checking her pulse and found there was no sign of life, she started CPR.Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But just the day before, Norwood, who wanted to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate by learning on her own. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she'd learned.She started pumping Simmons's chest with her interlocked fingers and breathing into her friend's mouth in the hope of filling her lungs with the kiss of life.After quite a while, Simmons began coughing and taking quick deep breaths for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I am not shocked，” Simmons told ot hers. “She will always help any way she can.”1．What caused the car crash?A．Another car hit Norwood's car near the intersection.B．Norwood drove the car too quickly that day.C．Norwood's car crashed into a tree in a yard.D．The girls were too excited to notice another car.2．What was Norwood's immediate reaction after hearing the bystander's warning?A．She crawled out through the window and ran without stopping.B．She dragged her friends out and performed CPR at once.C．She ran for her life but turned back to save her friend.D．She opened the driver's side door and pulled her friend out.3．Why did Norwood know how to perform CPR?A.She had learned CPR in school classes.B．She pursued a career in medicine.C．The bystander told her how to do it.D．She just earned her CPR certificate.4．What's the best title of the passage?A．The Breath of LifeB．A Frightening NightC．Power of KnowledgeD．An Admirable GirlB[2022·甘肃省第二次高考诊断考试]Going to sleep at a certain time is associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease, according to researchers. In a study published in the EuropeanHeartJournal, a team found that going to sleep between 10：00 pm and 11：00 pm was beneficial compared to earlier or later bedtime.The research included 88，026 participants in the UK.An analysis found that sleep onset time of 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm was associated with the lowest incidence of heart disease. There was a 25% higher risk of heart disease with the sleep onset at midnight or later, a 12% greater risk for 11：00 pm to 11：59 pm and a 24% higher risk for falling asleep before 10：00 pm comparedto the sleep onset from 10：00 pm to 10：59 pm.“The body has a 24hour internal clock that helps adjust physic al and mental functioning，” study author David of the University of Exeter said in a statement.“While we cannot conclude it from our study, the results suggest that early or late bedtime may be more likely to destroy the body clock.” “While the findings do not show the conclusion, sleep timing has appeared as a potential heart disease risk factor—independent of other risk factors. If our findings are proved in other studies, sleep timing and basic sleep health could be a lowcost public health target for lowering the risk of heart disease，” David added.5．Which is the best time for sleep?A．8：40 pm.

Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument.Music experts do not agree about where the guitar first was played. Most agree it is ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than 1,000 years ago. Some other experts say that the ancestor of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the twelfth century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today.Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous Italian violinist Niccolo Paganinni played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modern times Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular.In the 1930s, Les Paul began experimenting with ways to make an electric guitar. He invented the solid body electric guitar in 1946. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Paul Guitar in 1952. It became a powerful influence in popular music. The instrument has the same shape and the same six strings as the traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. Les Paul produced a series of extremely popular recordings that introduced the public to his music. They included Paul playing as many as six musical parts at the same time. Listen to this Les Paul recording. It was the fifth most popular song in the United States in 1952. It is called “Meet Mister Callaghan〞．1.

AWhen Charles Strattion was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Barnum, and thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled around the world together. He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, general Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.Tom’s act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two thousand guests. Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look attheir tiny wedding carriage. The couple even met with PresidentAbraham Lincoln on their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war. Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country sponsored “Tom Thumb〞 weddings. In these weddings, small boys and girls, all dressed up, went through marriage ceremony for fun.1.“the talk of the town〞 means _________ .A. they were in the newspaperB. people spread mean rumors about themC. they were the most popular things happeningD. they were discussed in a city meeting2. What does the author think about Tom Thumb’s wedding?A. People gave it too much of their attention.B. It helped people cheer up in a dark time.C. It was funny and ridiculous.D. Tom and Lavinia were stupid.3. Which of the following is the best clue to the fact that Tom was smart?A. He became a billionaire at twenty-five.B. He learned how to sing, dance, and act at a very young age.C. He met with President Lincoln during his honeymoon.D. He married a school teacher.4. It was very funny when Tom danced on a wooden plate held by aperson who was eight feet tall because ________ .A. the wooden plate would make it sound as if Tom were tap dancingB. it made Tom feel tallerC. the eight-foot-tall man was the only tall person Tom trustedD. the difference between them would make Tom look even smaller5. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Weddings always make people feel full of sunshine.B. People are always disappointed during wartime.C. Entertainment can serve an important purpose.D. People should be married even if they are small.BIf you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different.If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God." came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passingremark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff(即兴(jí xìng)的)remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.6. To make your humor work, you should ________.A. take advantage of different kinds of audienceB. make fun of the disorganized people.C. address different problems to different people.D. show sympathy for your listeners.7. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.A. impolite to new arrivals.B. very conscious of their godlike role.C. entitled to some privileges.D. very busy even during lunch hours.8. It can be inferred from the text that public services ________.A. have benefited many people.B. are the focus of public attention.C. are an inappropriate subject for humor.D. have often been the laughing stock.9. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.A. in well-worded language.B. as awkwardly as possible.C. in exaggerated statement.D. as casually as possible.10. The best title for the text may be ________.A. Use Humor Effectively.B. Various Kinds of Humor.C. Add Humor to Speech.D. Different Humor Strategies.CA person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it.A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties(机能(jīnéng)), or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate(评价) of his ability. Older people may be handicapped(阻碍) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is thereforelikely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience whichillustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic？〞 He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try，and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic.This experience made him realize that many people have moreability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.11．Why might a person be prevented from doing good work? ________.A. Because he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facilitiesB. Because he accepts another person's mistaken estimate of his abilityC. Because he has the idea that he is incapable of doing everythingD. Because he believes in what other people think of him12．A person who believes in his low ability will ________.A. spare no efforts to do thingsB. fail to go at a job but never lose heartC. change to learn other course instead of mathematicsD. show complete lack of confidence13．As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because ________.A. he lost his self-confidenceB. he was weak in thinkingC. his parents expected too much of himD. his teacher had no confidence in herself14．Which of the following is the most important factor to Alder's success？________A. Spirit and experienceB. Interest and self-respectC. Confidence and determinationD. Purpose and knowledge 15．Alder's experience made him realize that ________.A. people are not as capable as they thinkB. people can be more capable than they thinkC. lack of confidence leads to failureD. lack of ability results in lack of determinationDChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life orrisk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren'tbad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find away to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar , a free online community for diabetics andtheir loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛(lùntán)) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids fromall over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leadingcause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity〔慈善机构〕, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time jobwaiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most areputting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."16. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.B. He studies the leading cause of diabetesC. He has a positive attitude to this disease.D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.17. Diabeitcrockstar was created for _________.A. diabetics to communicateB. volunteers to find jobsC. children to amuse themselvesD. rock stars to share resources.18.

2021届高三英语(yīnɡ yǔ)二轮专项训练：阅读理解〔79〕阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最正确选项。
ADo you know anything about the history of weather? Don’t look at the sky． Don’t look for old weather reports． Looking at the tree rings is more important． Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of weather even further back．It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall． It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would reduce the growth of a tree． The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be found out by the reading pattern of rings in a tree trunk． To find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside． If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred． If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree．Studying trees is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man． In an area of New Mexico you can find only sand — no trees or people． However, manycenturies ago a large population lived there． They left suddenly． Why?A scientist studied the pattern of the rings of dead treesthat had grown there． He made up his mind that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees． Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings． So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move．In this example studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man．1. We can find out the weather of five years ago by counting therings of a tree trunk ____．A. from the left to the rightB. from the outside to the insideC. from the inside to the outsideD. from the rightto the left2. If the ring was far from the others, we can conclude that theweather of that year was _____．A. badB. sunnyC. rainyD.favorable3. By studying the rings of dead trees in an area of New Mexico, thescientist found _______．A. what the people had to eatB. where the people had to goC. why the people had to leaveD. how the people left4.The ancient people usually lived where there were plenty of treesmainly because ______．A. trees were materials for fires and buildingsB. trees couldsupply them with fruit and foodC. rees could supply them with shadesD. trees providedan exact record of weather5. By giving the example of an area of New Mexico, the author triesto prove ．A. that studying trees is important for the history of manB. trees can’t live in the area without populationC. what the relation is between tree rings and the history of manD. the history of man is important for the history of treesBYou wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing(令人(lìnɡ rén)沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You arestill in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad whenthey make others feel bad．No wo nder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you．you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible． Sometimes it feels good to let out-your anger back to the negative person，but allthis does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着(fùzhuó))you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．6. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advisedA. to show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleB. to change negative people’s attitude to lifeC. to communicate with negative people as little as possibleD. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves7. What can we learn about negativity?A. Its effect can be completely avoidedB. Its effect can lastC. Its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive personD.

You would see this noticeA. in a hotel bar．B. in a hoteldining room．C. at the entrance of a small family hotelD. in a bedroom of alarge international hotel．12. You have arrived at the hotel at 2 a．m．and want a quick meal．What should you do?A. Go to the hotel shop．B. Phone ReceptionC. Hang a message outside your door．D. Go to the hotel bar．13．You have come back to the hotel just to make an urgent〔紧急(jǐnjí)〕phone call．But you notice a lot of people around the Reception desk．Judging from the notice , would it be quickest toA. use one of the telephones in the entrance?B. ask at the Reception desk?C. go to your room and phone from there?D. go out again and look for a public phone box?14.

Go to the Reception desk．C. Phone the room staff．D.．Phone the Reception desk．DAlthough there is no formal process of selection, in larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment〔招募〕．Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades〔十年〕 of research have failed to produce evidence that there are any “natural leaders〞． It seems thatthere is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; or rather, any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group．Research suggests that there are typically two differentleadership roles that are held by differentindividuals． Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizesthe completion of tasks by a social group． Group members look toinstrumental leaders to “get things done〞． Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collectivewell-beings(福利) of a social group’s members． Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them．Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members． They give others and may discipline group members who inhibit 〔阻碍(zǔ ài)〕 attainment of the group’s goals． Expressive leaders develop a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group． They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to solve problems that threaten to divide the group． As the difference between these two roles suggests, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect．16. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The problems faced by leaders．B. How socialgroups determine who will lead them．C. How leadership differs in small and large groups．D. The roleof leaders in social groups．17. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which peoplecan become leaders EXCEPT ________．A. specific leadership trainingB. formal election processC. recruitmentD. traditional cultural patterns18.

专题能力训练十六阅读理解(七)A(2014·郑州第一次质量预测)In 1980 Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter was killed by a drunk hit-and-run driver as she walked down a street in California.“I promised myself on the day of my daughter’s death that I would fight to make this needle ss accident count for something positive in the years ahead,”Candy Lightner later wrote.The drunk driver received a two-year prison sentence.However,he avoided prison by serving time in a work camp.Ms.Lightner was very angry about that,so she organized Mothers Against Drunk Drivers(MADD),which later changed to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.The aim of her organization was to raise public awareness of the serious nature of drunk driving and to promote tough legislation(立法) against the crime.Before Ms.Lightn er’s MADD,intoxication(醉酒),including drunk driving,was not taken seriously.Intoxication was often used as an excuse for otherwise unacceptable behavior:“I didn’t know what I was doing—I was drunk.”Candy Lightner appeared on major television shows,spoke before the USCongress,made speeches to professional and business groups,and worked tirelessly for years to change public attitudes,change judicial(审判的)behavior,and promote tough new ter,Ms.Lightner left MADD because the organization that she herself created was changing its focus.“I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol.I started it to deal with the issue of drunk driving.”The president of the United States awarded her the President’s Volunteer Action Award and she was the subject of the movi e “Mothers Against Drunk Drivers:the Candy Lightner Story”.【语篇导读】Candy Lightner的女儿死于酒驾引发的事故,但肇事者却得以轻判,于是她设立了“反醉驾母亲协会”,提倡对酒驾者实施更为严厉的法律制裁。

第三段开头说,在Ms.Lightner设立MADD之前,人们对酒驾的态度是轻描淡写的,没有认真对待。
4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Ways to Prevent Drunk DrivingB.Purposes of Founding MADDC.New Law Against Drunk DrivingD.Candy Lightner and Her MADD答案:D解析:主旨大意题。
