[史地自然型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)(一)The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful ones in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan Opera House in New York City someday, and they work hard to become well known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in the newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theatre are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theatre is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.1．This passage mainly introduces ________.A．a mountain cityB．young musiciansC．an opera houseD．the tourism in Santa Fe2．Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because ________.A．the music quality is highB．they enjoy the climate thereC．they want to be famousD．they like the scenery there3．It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because ________.A．it is only a very small placeB．it is between the mountains and the desertC．all the seats are sold for every showD．musicians there are from the best orchestras4．From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．the opera house is open without any roofsB．musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC．the government advertises to attract more musiciansD．performances are held in Santa Fe Opera only after it is dark(二)All around the world, shoppers flock to WalMart to buy everyt hing.In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store's electricity.It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coatedwith heatreflective paint, makes this WalMart a green giant.The laws o f economics suggest that WalMart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the prices of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing.“One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees，” says WalMart's former CEO Lee Scott.“If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day they have made a huge difference.”Scott wants WalMart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants WalMart's fleet(车队) of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show WalMart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain.WalMart says it's working with consumerproduct manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from WalMart's controversial labour and health insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because WalMart sees profits in going green.Scott says，“This_is_a_business_philosophy,_not_a_social_philosophy.We don't go where we don't think there's great interest in change.”Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting WalMart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining.He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护) WalMart from bad press about its contribution to global warming.“By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything，” he says.“At some point businesses will be held responsible for the action they take.”Meanwhile, should WalMart succeed in shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company would profit.5．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．Lee Scott is WalMart's present CEOB．there are 5, 200 stores in the worldC．WalMart has a great influence on the world marketD．WalMart has more than 7,000 trucks all over the world6．What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourth paragraph?A．WalMart predicts huge profits in its green activity.B．WalMart's green activity is just window dressing.C．WalMart aims to solve its healt h insurance practices.D．WalMart doesn't have any social responsibility at all.7．What will WalMart probably do in the future?A．Reduce air pollution in its present stores.B．Give favourable treatment to its consumers.C．Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.D．Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.8．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Provide the background of the green plan.B．Stress the purpose of WalMart's green plan.C．Present the risks that WalMart is facing now adays.D．Analyse the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.(三)Imagine living in a city made of glass. No, this isn't a fairy tale. If you could grab your diving gear and swim down 650 feet into the Pacific Ocean off the coastof Washington State, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.The reef you'd be looking at is made up of glass sponges(海绵). But how can animals be made of glass? Well, glass is formed from a substance called silica. The sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give them shape and support. Be careful! Some of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.When sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. Over centuries, a massive and complex reef takes shape. Some sponges look like wrinkled trumpets, while others look like overgrown cauliflowers or mushrooms.Dr Paul Johnson, who discovered the Washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of methane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. The methane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.“It's a new ecosystem we know nothing about，” said Dr Johnson.The reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrimps, starfish, worms, snails, and rockfish. The glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of many of these creatures and was called a “kindergarten” by scientists.Many animals that live in the reef hang around for a long time, just like the sponges. Rockfish, for example, live for more than 100 years. Scientists are just beginning to study all the species that call the reef home.The Washington coast isn't the only place where a living glass reef has been found. The first was discovered in Hecate Strait off the coast of British Columbia in 1991. Scientists all over the world were stunned to see it.9．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Manmade cities under the seaB．The world under the seaC．Glass “cities” under the seaD．Creatures under the sea10．It can be learned that the glass reef ________.A．is made up of a kind of materials called spongesB．is a work of art made by some American scientistsC．is a new ecosystem people are not familiar withD．was first discovered off the coast of Washington State11．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The sponges must feel soft.B．Silica comes from animals' body fluid.C．Methane is harmful to glass sponges.D．Glass sponges depend on the bacteria for a living.12．Why did scientists call the glass reef a “kindergarten”？A．Because the babies of many sea creatures grow well there.B．Because thousands of children visit it every year.C．Because it is crowded with snails and rockfish, etc.D．Because all the species call the reef home.13．What does the underlined word“stunned”in the last paragraph mean?A．Greatly surprised.B．Extremely scared.C．Highly satisfied.D．Very pleased.专题限时训练(三十四)【史地自然型阅读理解(二)】(一)【文章大意】 Santa Fe 歌剧院虽然小，而且又是敞篷式的，但在美国却很著名，因为许多优秀的年轻歌手都想在这里一展歌喉从而一举成名。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮专题复习精品阅读理解部分之限时训练（四）阅读理解A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin. Amphibians(两栖动物), animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo. Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1 a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained. The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson believes that oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseasesD. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.65. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB.improving athletes’ performanceC. detectingoxygenD. increasing level of oxygen66. What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?A. NegativeB. DoubtingC.Positive D. Hesitating67. The best title of the passage may be _______.A. Great Findings Benefit Athletes A LotB. Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC. First Known Animal Breathes Through SkinD. Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）A farmer had some puppies (小狗) he needed to sell. He painted a sign36 the puppies and set about nailing it to a post on the 37 of his yard. As he was 38 the last nail into the post, he felt a pull on his clothes.

He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs. ”52 that the little boy stepped back from the fence, 53 down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he exposed a steel brace(支持物) attaching itself to a 54 made shoe.

People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation. Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital （婚姻的） status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad. Title: People on the 71参考答案阅读理解64----67 ACCD完形填空36－40 CBADB; 41－45 ABCCC; 46－50 DBADA; 51-55 DDAAB任务型阅读：71. move, 72. history, 73. increasing, 74.richer/wealthier, 75.

Prince Paris from Troy had stolen away the Greek queen; Helen. The Greek warriors set sail for Troy to fight for their queen.The battle outside Troy lasted for ten years. The men were fed up and wanted to return to their homes. Athene, goddess of war gave Ulysses the idea for a plan to end the war. They built a big wooden horse which they put in the middle of their encampment（营地）. Next they pretended to abandon their camp. In reality many soldiers hid inside the wooden horse.Once they thought the camp had been abandoned the Trojans went out to check. They needed to know if the war was really over. They walked through the abandoned encampment and eventually found the wooden horse. They could not decide what it was. Some wanted to take itinto the city, others thought that it was a gift to Zeus and feared touching or moving it in case they upset Zeus.Some Trojans decided to take it back into the city. They called a large group of troops,attached ropes and pulled it into the city.A huge celebration started. The city was free from war for the first time in nine years. Everybody feasted, drank and danced until eventually the merriment（欢闹）was over and they all went to sleep.This was the moment that the wooden horse opened a big flap（盖口）hidden underneath.

专题限时训练(二十三)[科普知识型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)ALast night's meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.‚My family was so frustrated，‛ admitted town resident Duane Cosby.‚We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.‛Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs，snakes，etc.For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的)birds.According to the International DarkSky Association，‚100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.‛Countless more animal casualties(伤亡) result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.1．It happened last night that ________．A. the city's lights affected the meteor watchingB．the meteors flew past before being noticedC．the city light show attracted many peopleD．the meteor watching ended up a social outing2．What do the astronomers complain about?A．Meteor showers occur less often than before.B．Their observation equipment is in poor repair.C．Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.D．Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.3．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration paths.B．Animals' living habits may change suddenly.C．Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D．Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.4．Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________．A．lessen the chance of getting cancerB．create an ideal observation conditionC．ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD．enable all creatures to live in harmony5．What message does the author most want to give us?A．Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.B．Great efforts should be made to save energy.C．Human activities should be environmentally friendly.D．New equipment should be introduced for space study.BStudying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. ‚Driving to work is more risky，‛she insists. ‚And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres，‛ she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. ‚I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city，‛ she explains. ‚The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.‛Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. ‚I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it，‛ she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. ‚I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1，000°C, so if you hesitated, your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.‛And what about the future? ‚I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet.And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic，‛ she says. ‚I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.‛ In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.1. Hazel's claim that ‚driving to work is more risky‛than exploring volcanoes shows that ________．A．people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the pastB．Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself inC．there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel livesD．Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?A．When she was visiting Italy.B．When she was at school.C．When she was twenty.D．When she saw Vesuvius.3. The underlined word ‚These‛(in Paragraph 3) refers to ‚________‛．A．melting ice capsB．volcanic eruptionsC．changes in sea levelD．higher temperatures4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna, she had to ________．A．take a dangerous routeB．take an unnecessary riskC．leave her boots behindD．walk for ten hours around the mountain5. In the future, Hazel wants to ________．A．revisit volcanoes she knowsB．go on holiday to the AntarcticC．find a less dangerous jobD．discover new things about volcanoesCOnline clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best, for them using new software which combines with their webcam or smart phone to form a ‚3D tape measure‛.Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a programme which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on the waist size or a ‚small/medium/large‛scale, which rely on limitedmeasurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.Shoppers and retailers(零售商) who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服装) and send back illfitting clothes, researchers claimed.The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.The software will not store or transmit the image to the Internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said, ‚The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they're unsure which one will fit best.‛1. What is the essential part of a ‚3D tape measure‛？A．A software.B．A webcam.C．A microphone.D．A smart phone.2. What can we learn about t he ‚3D tape measure‛？A．It will store or transmit the image to the Internet.B．It is based on the buyer's perception of their size.C．It will be a coworking production.D．It uses a person's weight as a starting point.3. Compared with the traditional sizing system, a ‚3D tape measure‛ is________．A．quicker B．more preciseC．more beautiful D．more vivid4. How can the ‚3D tape measure‛ benefit online shoppers?A．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.B．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.C．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.D．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.5. What is the right order for a shopper to form a ‚3D tape measure‛？①to take a photo with a webcam②to activate the software③to enter his/her height④to judge his or her size by analysing his or her imageA．①②③④ B．②①③④C．②③①④D．②③④①专题限时训练(二十三)A【要点综述】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了城市的光污染对日常生活、天文学家的工作以及动物的生活都产生了消极的影响。

2014高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练（二十二）（新课标）科普知识型阅读理解含解析(限时：25分钟)AThe forces that make Japan one o f the world's most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 per cent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 per cent.Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 per cent of its needs.For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 per cent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now a s energy supplies will decline in the short term.”The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 per cent market share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built theworld's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand.1. What would be the best title for the text?A．Alternative energies in JapanB．The world's largest geothermal plantC．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technologyD．Japan thinks of geothermal energy2. What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?A．About 8%. B．Below 1%.C．Around 30%. D．Over 80%.3. According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ________．A．a change of rulesB．financial supportC．local people's helpD．high technology4. Geothermal energy is considered as a longterm programme by ________．A．Yoshiyasu TakefujiB．Hideaki MatsuiC．Shigeto YamadaD．Yoko Ono5. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ________．A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by AmericaB．Japan will not export its geothermal technologyC．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is greatD．it is hard to find geothermal energy in JapanBA blind baby is doubly handicapped. Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus(刺激)from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the tenmonthold son of Dr and Mrs Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag(滞后)in the learning process. With the aid of a sonartype electronic that he wears on his head, infant(婴儿) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回声)．The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”，an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a sane or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a batterypowered system about the size of a half dollar that i s on a headgear. A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超声的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音调) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send backsignals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Dennis' sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus, by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超声波) passes its_edge. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peekaboo with his mother. Standing on his knee and facing her directly, he receives a strong signal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her se em to disappear. “From the first time he wore it，” says Mrs Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc., is working on the development of sonar(声呐) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis' for use by schoolage children.1. Dr and Mrs Daughters' research is directed to ________．A．helping the blind to see and learn as well as othersB．benefiting the learning process of blind childrenC．solving blind children's psychological problemsD．finding out how children develop intellectually2. Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because ________．A．he already lags behind the sighted childrenB．he leads a life as normal as any other childrenC．he is at the early stage of the learning processD．he has the aid of a sonartype electronic device3. What can we learn about infant Dennis' device?A．It's the first design that was designed for blind adults.B．Its battery is as small as a halfdollar coin.C．It is functionally similar to a sane or guide dog.D．It has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.4. In the third paragraph, “its edge” refers to “________”．A．the edge of an objectB．the edge of the deviceC．the boundary of Dennis' movementD．the boundary of the pitch5. What is Telesensory Systems, Inc. most likely to think about infant Dennis' device?A．It had better be used by blind children from school age.B．It needs improving for use in a complicated environment.C．It may not be so suitable for the blind adults.D．It benefits blind children in terms of learning.CA great invention by an 18yearold high school student grew out of a simpleproblem most teenagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cellphone and my cellphone battery always dies, so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage，” Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across supercapacitors.”The teenager from California, who graduated from high school last week, won a $50，000 prize on May 17, 2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cellphone in 20 to 30 seconds.“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of energy，” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one hair.”Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cellphone yet, but she used it to power a lightemitting diode (LED) in ord er to show its capability(容量). If used on cellphones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to charge it in a matter of seconds. The technology isn't available to consumers yet, and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix, Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award, taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1，600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been contacted by several companies to continue her research, but is now focused on attending Harvard University in the fall.“Right now, just my education, but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future，” she said about her plans. “I have a lot of interests, so we'll see wha t I do in the future.”1.

高考英语二轮复习限时专题训练文化型阅读理解

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校专题限时训练(二十五) [文化教育型阅读理解](限时：每篇7分钟)(一)There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D .C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs (软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they havean_audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.( )1.The main purpose of this text is to give information about________.A．famous museums through the worldB．a computer art museum in Miami, U．S.A.C．art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD．latest development in computer art( )2.To see the art in FIU museum, your special needsinclude________.A．floppy discsB．a computer and a printerC．pictures and drawings on paperD．a computer connected to the museum by telephone line( )3.What are stored in this museum?A．Paintings drawn by means of computer.B．Different styles of paintings.C．Old paintings.D．Drawings done by art students of FIU.( )4.The museum was started when________.A．Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists B．Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artistsC．art students needed a place to show their worksD．computer scientists wanted to do something about art( )5.The words “an audience” in the last paragraph here refer to ________.A．art studentsB．owners of computersC．exhibits in the museumD．those who can enjoy art(二)Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activities. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, tennis, or it may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion (热情，激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind, which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineeringattractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “game”. We would be mistaken in this assumption. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. This sport requires high mental and physical capacities.C．it requires mental and physical qualitiesD．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing( )9.Which of the following is TRUE?A．Mountaineers compete against each other.B．Mountaineers compete against other teams.C．Mountaineers compete against nature.D．Mountaineers compete against international standard.( )10.What is the best title for the text?A．MountaineeringB．Mountain ClimbersC．Mountaineering Is Different From Golf And FootballD．Mountaineering Is More Dangerous Than Other Sports(三)Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21yearold twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home，’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education，” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses.More students are applyingfor aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education，” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.( )11.According to Paragraph 1，why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A．The twins wasted too much money.B．The father was out of work.C．Their savings ran out.D．The family fell apart.( )12.How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the schools.C．They encouraged their twin sons to do parttime jobs.D．They got help from the schools and the federal government.( )13.Financial aid administrators believe that ________.A. more families will face the same problem as the JacobsesB. the government will receive more letters of complaintC．college tuition fees will double soonD. America’s unemployment will fall( )14.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.C．They will try their best to send kids to college.D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.( )15.According to the last paragraph, the government will________.A. provide most students with scholarshipsB. dismiss some financial aid administratorsC．stop the companies from making student loansD. go on providing financial support for college students专题限时训练(二十五)(一)本文讲述了位于迈阿密州的佛罗里达国际大学的电子艺术博物馆的与众不同。

高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练(二十)(新课标) 社会生活型阅读理解1 Word版含解析

2014高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练（二十）（新课标）社会生活型阅读理解Word版含解析(限时：25分钟)AI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺诈)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and the other is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.1. The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text.A．give some advice of travellingB．expect us to travel aroundC．show his/her experiencesD．explain the difficulties of travelling2. To avoid being cheated, you ought to ________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a policerun boothD．go out of the airport3. The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________．A．save some moneyB．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain a unique experienceD．help the local rickshaw drivers4. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.5. Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in DelhiB．Weather conditions in DelhiC．Food and drink in DelhiD．Car rentals in DelhiBLife is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabledchild had more normal-appearing telomeres.In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.1. Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage?①eat healthy food ②drink plenty of water③take exercise ④get up early⑤go to sleep early ⑥release one's stressA．①③⑥B．①②③C．①⑤⑥D．③④⑥2. The underlined words “your skin glows”in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “________”．A．your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshineB．your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in itC．your skin looks pink as you are healthyD．your skin becomes soft as you exercise enough3. In the author's opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT ________．A．brains becoming clevererB．faces having fewer wrinklesC．arteries turning narrowerD．genes being changed4. From the last but one paragraph we learn that ________．A．mothers will have more damaged telomeres if they raise a disabled childB．mothers don't know how to handle stress effectivelyC．some women were asked to fill out a questionnaire about educating childrenD．mothers' positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress5. The best title for the passage would be “________”．A．Eat better, live betterB．Feel better, live longerC．Less stress, fewer diseasesD．Smoke more, age soonerCBig Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship. It is a programme which provides friendship and fun by matching vulnerable_young_people (ages 7～17)with a volunteer adult who can be both a role model and a supportive friend.V olunteer tutors come from all walks of life—married, single，with or without children. Big Brothers and Big Sisters are not replacement parents or social workers.They are tutors: someone to trust, to have fun with, to talk and go to when needed.A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.

In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, ‚In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.‛ Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflicts the way they are taught to solve maths problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?This article is mainly about________．A．the lives of school childrenB．the cause of arguments in schoolsC．how to analyse youth violenceD．how to deal with school conflicts3．Grownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play with a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins ‚Twinkle, twinkle, little star‛ or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks.What is the main idea?A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.B．Children have a better memory than gro wnups.C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D．Stories for children are easy to remember.4．One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionarywas also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Professor James Murray to serve as an editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the civil war and is now living in England. He gave his address as ‚Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire‛，50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne h imself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the criminally insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.What does the text mainly talk about?A．The history of the English language.B．The friendship between Murray and Minor.C．Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.D．Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.二、细节理解1．Below is a selection about Guinness(吉尼斯) World Records.Top 6 Unusual Guinness World Records〃Fastest 100m running on all foursThe 2008 Guinness World Records Day was, according to CWR, their biggest day of recordbreaking ever, with more than 290，000 people taking part in record attempts in 15 different countries. Kenichi Ito's record attempt was part of this special day. He is just another example of Japanese with‚super powers‛. His ‚super power‛is to run with great speed on all fours. Kenichi Ito ran 100 m on all fours in 18.58 seconds. The Japanese set this record at Setagaya Kuritsu Sogo Undojyo, Tokyo, in 2008.〃Most people inside a soap bubbleThe Discovery Science Centre in Santa Ana, California celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Bubble (泡泡) Festival this year. A bubble's maths principles and science were presented and demonstrated at the threeweeklong exhibition. The intriguing Bubble Show was also part of the programme. Fan Yang and Deni Yang impressed the audience with their awesome skills for bubble making. The Yang family cooperated with the Discovery Science Centre to set a new Guinness World Record for most people inside a soap bubble and they succeeded.The family that has been working with soap bubbles for 27 years created a huge soap bubble and got 118 people inside it. The record was set on April 4, 2011.〃Longest ears on a dogA bloodhound (大警犬) from Illinois has the longest ears ever measured. The right ear is 13.75 inches long and the left one 13.5 inches. The dog named Tigger earned this title in 2004 and is owned by Christina and Bryan Flessner.Mr Jeffries is the previous record holder of this title. Each of his ears measured approximately 11.5 inches long. His grandfather used to hold this amazing world record, but when he died Mr Jeffries took over.〃Most living generationsDid you ever wonder what is the Guinness World Record for most living generations in one family? Seven is the answer.The ultimate authority on recordbreaking mentions on the website that the youngest greatgreatgreatgreat grandparent of this family was Augusta Bung ‚aged 109 years 97 days, followed by her daughter aged 89, her granddaughter aged 70, her great granddaughter aged 52, her greatgreat granddaughter aged 33 and her greatgreatgreat granddaughter aged 15 on the birth of her greatgreatgreatgreat grandson on January 21, 1989‛．〃Most Tshirts worn at onceBelieve it or not, there is a record also for this category. Krunoslav Budiseli set a new world record on May 22, 2010 for wearing 245 Tshirts at the same time. The man from Croatia was officially recognized as the new record holder by Guinness World R ecords after he managed to put on 245 different Tshirts in less than two hours. The Tshirts weighed 68 kg and Budiseli said he began struggling around Tshirt No.120. He dethroned(罢黜)the Swedish Guinness record holder who wore 238 Tshirts.〃Heaviest pumpkin(南瓜)Guinness World Records confirmed on October 9，2010 that a gigantic pumpkin grown in Wisconcin was officially the world's heaviest. It weighed 1，810 pounds 8 ounces and was unveiled by Chris Stevens at the Stillwater Harvest Festival in Minnesota. Stevens' pumpkin was 85 pounds heavier than the previous record, another huge pumpkin grown in Ohio. The proud farmer said his secret is a precise mixture of rain, cow waste, good soil, sea grass and fish emulsion. Some of the world's heaviest pumpkins, including the record holder, were on public display at the Bronx Botanical Gardens in New York for a dozen days.1. Why is Kenichi Ito described as a man with a ‚super power‛？A．He set a good example to all Japanese.B．He made record attempts in 15 different countries.C．He set a new record for ‚Fastest 100 m running on all fours‛．D．He participated in the 2008 Guinness World Records Day activities.2．Jeffries is the name of________．A．the owner of the dog with the longest earsB．the grandfather of the dog with the longest earsC．the present holder of the record for ‚Lo ngest ears on a dog‛D．the former holder of the record for ‚Longest ears on a dog‛3．How many Tshirts had Krunoslav Budiseli put on before he felt it difficult to go on?A．68.

专题限时训练(三十八)[议论文型读写任务](限时：每篇30分钟)A阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Some people and businesses get lucky—they happen to be in the right place at the right time. And they often succeed, at least in the short run, despite themselves. But depending on luck isn't a good idea—as the Chinese proverb goes, “Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very long time.”The vast majority of what we call “luck”is the result of vision and purpose, hard work and passion. As another saying goes, “The harder I work, the more luck I have.” Successful people work hard to put themselves into a position where good fortune can find them. The harder a manager works at developing people, the luckier he will be in having a skilled and motivated staff. The harder a salesperson works at satisfying customers, the luckier he will be at gaining referrals. The harder a couple works at it, the luckier they are at having a great relationship.All that success requires is a strong vision, hard work, being passionate about goal s, building relationships, constantly seeking to improve, selfdiscipline and taking smart risks. Beyond that, it's simply luck.[写作内容]1. 以约30词概括短文的内容。

高考英语二轮复习专项限时训练阅读理解(四十七)(附答案与解析)

高考英语二轮复习专项限时训练•阅读理解（四十七）（附答案与解析）ALisa is a good example of a student in shock. She is an attractive, intelligent twenty –year –old college junior at a state university. She was a straight –A student in high school and a member of basketball and volleyball teams there. Now, only three years later, Lisa is miserable. She has changed her major (专业) four times and is forced to hold don two part –time jobs in order to pay her tuition. She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders and has no close friends. Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons.What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year. As a result, about one –quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms (症状) of depression. Of that group, almost half will experience depression intense enough to call for professional help. But many reject that idea, because they don’t want people to think there’s something wrong with them.There are three reasons today’s students are suffering more than in earlier generations. First is a weakening family support structure. Today, with high divorce rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties, the traditional family is not always available for guidance and support.Another problem is financial pressure. In the last decade tuition costs have skyrocketed(猛涨) –up about sixty –six percent at public colleges and ninety percent at private schools. At the same time there has been a cutback in federal aid to students. College loans (贷款) are now much harder to obtain. Consequently, most students must work at least part –time.A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available. Because of the multitude (众多) and difficulty of choosing a major, college can prove a time of great indecision. Many students switch majors. As a result, it is becoming commonplace to take five or six years to get a degree. It can be depressing for students to be faced with the added tuition costs.1. What’s the main idea of the passage ?A.Going to college is a depressing experience for many students.B.Lisa has not enjoyed college because her life has been filled with stress.C.Stress –related problems are increasing on college campuses.D.Colleges should increase their counseling services.2. Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 2 ?A.Lisa is experiencing difficult emotional problems.B.Lisa cannot decide on a major.C.Lisa feels she has lost all her good friends.D.Lisa cries frequently.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?.A.Students cannot get enough family support.B.Students don’t have enough money to support themselves.C.It is difficult for students to choose their majors nowadays.D.Students suffer from poor diets.4. The author supports his point that college life has become more difficult for students with_______.A.Quotations（引文）from expertsB.Statistics（统计资料）and reasonsC.research reportsD.personal experiencesBHaving one of those days or weeks –when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster –often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad –mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten –minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.Tune it outListening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music st arts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.Give yourself a pep talkStop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve be en giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job. “vs” I have two interviews next week.”)Reduce your stressRelaxation techniques are wonderful mood –lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想像), a ll of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to against distress is to make a to –do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options (选择权). By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.Avoid things that won’t improve your moodTV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind something –that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice ? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them.5. We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood _______.A.to do nothing about itB.to take a long walk on the beachC.to do some exercises with light musicD.to talk it to neighbours6. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach ?A.It is not complicated to do so.B.It is an area to be easily controlled.C.It helps beat a bad mood.D.It brings us a new technique.7. TV may not improve your mood because ______.A.it sometimes shows what happens around youB.it keeps you stay unmovedC.it reminds you of eating and drinkingD.it produces a calming effect8. This text most probably appears in ________.A. a book on physical exercisesB. a do ctor’s handbookC. a noticeD. a magazineCSometimes _____________________________________________________. A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo although he had lost his left arm. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy wa s doing well, so he couldn’t understand why after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.“Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Then, the Sensei took the boy to his first match. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, the boy easily used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent(对手)was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Considering that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei refused. “No, let him continue.” After that his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match.. On the way home, the boy picked up the courage to ask how he won the match with only one move”. The Sensei answered. “Firstly, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Secondly, the only known defense for that move is for your o pponent to grab your left arm.”The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.阅读短文，回答问题。

2020;2020高考英语二轮（阅读理解）35分钟限时训练（6）及答案.阅读理解Words：318 难度系数：★★建议用时：7分钟Decisionmaking can be extremely difficult.Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures.In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view.Naturally，often comes a confrontation(冲突) situation，which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view.Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.Besides，Western decisionmaking goes mostly from top manag ement(管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker.However，in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.Based on “bottomup direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decisionmaking also comes from different communication styles.The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly.They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach.So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings.Thus Americans are often annoyedby the many meetings in many Japanese businesses.But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision.The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners，perhaps，lag(落后) behind as they take the time for indepth(深入的) planning. 1．A Japanese business bases its decision ________.A．on topdown directionB．on nothi ng but its workers’ viewsC．on bottomup directionD．only on its top leaders’ opinions解析：选C。

高考英语二轮复习方案专题限时集训(新课标通用)42 说明文型阅读填空2 Word含解析

专题限时训练(四十二)[说明文型阅读填空(二)](限时：25分钟)(一)ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern. 1.________They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.2．________ Also meaning “absence of passion”in Greek, the term “apatheia” was used by the Stoics(禁欲主义者)to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I，when it was called “shell shock”.Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions. 3.________ In 1950，US novelist Passos wrote，“Apathy is one of the charact eristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with.”US philosopher Robert M. Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏).4.________ There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something. 5.________ These include：political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information，and media descriptions of heroes as “chosen” by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate in.A．It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B．Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C．He focuses on designed choices that deliberately or indeliberately exclude people.D．The word “dispassion”is used for “apatheia”，so as not to confuse it with apathy.E．So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F．Although the word “apathy”originates from “apatheia”，it is important not to confuse the two terms.G．Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people，in which they get a sense that “nothing matters”．(二)Does a dog help a teen with low selfesteem?A dog is known as man's best friend for good reasons. Loyal and affectionate, a dog companion can enrich its owner's life in many ways. 1.________ Many teenagers suffer from periods of low selfesteem as they try to navigate the wavy waters of adolescence and deal with all of their associated highs and lows.A teenager who lacks self-esteem may feel isolated from his peers and unable to tell hisparents about personal issues. The company of a dog can be a huge comfort and ease feelings of loneliness and awkwardness. A dog offers genuine unconditional love. 2.________ All dogs need exercise, so taking his dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity for a teenager to get outdoors and benefit from fresh air and physical activity. Exercise allows people to take control of their bodies, which is often the first step towards regaining control of other aspects of their life, says mental health specialist Dr Alan Cohen. 3.________ Exercise releases chemicals called endorphins(内啡肽)into the brain, which create positive responses in the body, including improved self-esteem.Dogs can help teenagers be more sociable and make new friends, suggests Helpguide.4.________ A dog is a great icebreaker, avoiding awkward social situations and putting the teenager at ease with people he meets. The more confident the teen becomes when out and about with his dog, the more his self-esteem will improve.5．________ If a teenager is suffering from depression or developing dangerous habits such as alcohol and drug abuse, more extreme action may be required. In these cases, professional help should be sought and all treatment plans considered. Parents who suspect that their teens' low self-esteem is a sign of a far more serious problem should ask a suitably qualified health professional for advice.A. In some cases, having a dog will not help with a teenager's low self-esteem.B．It simply accepts its owner for who he is and doesn't judge, question or criticize.C．Pets offer an unconditional love that can be very helpful to people with depression.D．You don't have to worry about hurting your pet's feelings or getting advice you don't want.E．In particular, someone with low self-esteem may find a pet dog to be extremely beneficial.F．A teen may meet his peers while walking his dog in the park or taking part in a dog training class.G．Many forms of exercise besides walking can be enjoyed with a dog, such as cycling, jogging and throwing a ball.(三)It is impossible to live completely free of stress.1.________ The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. 2.________Share your stressIt helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can give you a better view of what's troubling you.3.________Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself.Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that there's so much to do, and not enough time.4.________ And as a result, you may not achieve anything.

He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: there were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy, it was such fun to stick your finger through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. “Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a sto ry at every one. ” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mail box read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. ” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $ 32，000.A dozen years ago, when I travelled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mum and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tear s in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？” he asked.“The letters？”“I guess you never knew. ”“Knew what？”“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answeringeach one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as________．A．great chances to help other peopleB．happy occasions to play with baby chickensC．exciting experiences with a lot of funD．good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies2.

[故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)With the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to him; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the jailer's daughter？”Sh e sighed, “No.”“Who are you？”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the bench beside him.He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm.A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it.In the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.But not for long.Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it.He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be! When was it! How was it！”As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that it was in hers too.He turned her full to the light，and looked at her.“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—she had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they found these upon my sleeve.‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in the body，though they may in the spirit.’ Those were the words I said.I remember them very well.”He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it.But when he did find spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly.“How was this? Was it you？”1．The underlined word“it”in the passage refers to“________”．A．her hair B．her handC．his arm D．his shoulder2．The passage is most probably taken from________.A．a chant B．a dramaC．a novel D．an essay3．From the passage，we can infer that________.A．the lady was the jailer's friendB．the man lived a peaceful lifeC．they hadn't seen each other for yearsD．they made a happy conversation4．The old man took the lady's hair into his hand again because________.A．the hair reminded him of his daughterB．he found the hair of high qualityC．the lady had almost the same hair as he didD．the lady's hair worried him so much5．The writer attracts the readers by________.A．describing the changes of the relationshipB．giving a vivid description of detailsC．using funny and humorous languageD．presenting unpredictable consequence(二)A man sat at a metro station in Washington D．C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by, and a middleaged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the money box without stopping, and continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3yearold boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected 32$. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged 100$.This is a real story. Joshua Bell's playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.The outlines were in a common environment at an inappropriate hour. Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?6．Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing because________.A．people were in a hurryB．they were not interested in musicC．it was too cold in the subwayD．the performance was not good enough7．When children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents ________.A．would give him some moneyB．would stop to enjoy the musicC．would applaud for the performanceD．would urge them to continue walking8．Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ________.A．make more moneyB．practise his skills in playing musicC．made an advertisement for his concertD．find out people's reaction under such a circumstance9．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．set us to think about our lifeB．show us how to play musicC．tell us the importance of musicD．report a subway performance(三)My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask，“Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going？”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear—as mine was until my father's letter—is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me. That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts，“Don't worry; you'll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.10．We learn from the text that the author________.A．lost his father when he was youngB．worked hard before he read his father's letterC．asked his father permission to believe in himselfD．knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do11．What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A．Children need their parents' letters.B．Children are afraid to be disappointed.C．His children's fear of failure held them back.D．His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents.12．Which of the following is TRUE of the author?A．He got no access to success.B．He wrote back to his father at 12.C．He was sure his parents loved him.D．He once asked his father about the letter.13．The main purpose of the text is to ________.A．describe children's thinkingB．answer some questions children have C．stress the importance of communication D．advise parents to encourage their children专题限时训练(二十八)【故事型阅读理解】(一)【文章大意】这个片段选自A Tale of Two Cities(双城记)的第六章。
