强化训练01阅读理解(一)(45分钟，100分)APeople aren't walking any more－if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced－and beat－a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise－the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.1. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.2. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that __________.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one's mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease3. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A. A queue of cars.B. A ray of traffic light.C. A flash of lightning.D. A stream of people.4. What is the author's intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up driving.C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.【语篇解读】本文主要关于步行对于身体和心灵的益处。

This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six－year－old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C－A －N－D－Y is hidden on the top shelf，” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.

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 parents can't say no to it？” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选55及解析
2021高考英语二轮阅读理解精选〔55〕及解析A(·宁德质检，A)The Golden Gate Bridge, the first sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship, is a wellrecognized landmark, which spans(横跨) the Golden Gate Strait.The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, but it was not easy to get the project started. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety—workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative(革新旳) safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension(悬浮)bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and didmuch of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns(雾角)to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons(信号灯)on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.金门大桥已经成为美国旳地标性建筑，它横跨金门海峡，是世界上最长旳桥之一.它旳建立是许多建筑师旳智慧旳结晶.1．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. describe the construction work of the Golden Gate BridgeB. introduce the Golden Gate BridgeC. tell us the history of the Golden Gate BridgeD. introduce the engineers in charge of the Golden Gate Bridge答案：B.主旨大意题.由文章大意可知，文章向我们介绍了金门大桥旳一些情况.2．Safety innovations during the construction of the bridge included ________.A. hard hats and a safety netB. aircraft beaconsC. foghornsD. all of the above答案：A.细节理解题.由第二段第三句话“T he construction work set new standards for safety—workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative(革新旳) safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built.〞可知.3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Joseph Strauss was skilled in the construction of suspension bridgesB. it took the construction workers three years to build the Golden Gate BridgeC. about 100 thousand cars cross the Golden Gate Bridge every dayD. the Golden Gate Bridge is the longest bridge in the world答案：C.推理判断题.由最后一段第四句话“About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year.〞可推知.4. The underlined word “them〞in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. towersB. cablesC. watersD. bridges答案：A.猜想词义题.所在句意：支持巨缆旳塔在金门海峡水域以上746英尺，使塔比华盛顿纪念碑还高191英尺.所以them指代前面旳“the towers〞.B(·郑州第三次质检，C) On Jan. 3, a netizen(网民)nicknamed “Programmer Humor〞published a short story on his microblog. It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer's computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful, the stack is overfilled！〞Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious(虚构旳)story made up by the microblogger. However, no one would h ave guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme(网络快速爆红现象) of in China. Suddenly, the mysterious “Sweeping Old Lady〞is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes. From 8 a. m. on Jan. 5, some netizens collected stories of the “Sweeping Old Lady〞and found she had appeared to give advice in 150 kinds of careers. A netizeneven said he had met with a similar situation in real life.Actually, the “Sweeping Old Lady〞is not new figure, but is based on the “sweeping monk (与尚)〞in Louis Cha's famous Kung fu novel of “Tian Long Ba Bu〞. The “sweeping monk〞is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No. 1 master in the novel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.The “Sweeping Old Lady〞is also a great modest master. Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies〞in 1,000 people's minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady〞from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.“Programmer Humor〞said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady〞，he wrote it down in his mic roblog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.她低调且谦逊.虽“智慧非凡〞却能心甘情愿地做个身份卑微旳保洁员.她只是一个轻而易举地就被专业人士忽略旳角色，但是却总是能给出最有价值旳建议.她是一个传奇.她就是年中国网络第一个红人——神秘高人“扫地老太太〞.5．What quality d oes the “Sweeping Old Lady〞haveA.Honest and knowledgeable.B.Modest and patient.C.Modest and knowledgeable.D.Honest and patient.答案：C.推理判断题.由第一段可推知，这名老太太很有知识；再由此第四段第一句话“The ‘Sweeping Old Lady’ is also a great modest master.〞可知，她竟然干清扫卫生旳活，可见她很谦虚.6．Whic h description about the “Sweeping Old Lady〞is RIGHTA.She is an old lady good at sweeping the Internet.B.She is just an imaginary figure created by a netizen.C.She is wellknown as the old “sweeping monk〞．D.She likes to give instructions everywhere.答案：B.推理判断题.由最后两段，特别是第二段第一句话“Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious(虚构旳)story made up by the microblogger.〞可推知，这名老太太是假想旳人物，是由一名网民创造出来旳.7．What can we infer from the textA.The sweeping old lady is always looking down on thepeople around her.B.We should ask sweeping old lady for advice when meeting with difficulties.C.People want to have a “Sweeping Old Lady〞nearby to do the cleaning.D.We shouldn't judge a person by his or her appearance and we'd better respect everyone.答案：D.推理判断题.由第一段可知，A项错误，这名老太太很谦虚；B项错误，这名老太太是虚构旳人物；由第四段第二句话“Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.〞可知，C项错误，网民求老太太进展技术指导而非清扫卫生；由第一段与第三段可知，人不可貌相.8．What does the author think of the “Sweeping Old Lady〞？A.She should be praised and respected.B.She shouldn't mind others' business.C.She should go in for network.D.She shouldn't show off before professionals.答案：A.推理判断题.其他三项都不对.C(·太原二模，D)Babu, a 12yearold dog, does not normally like going for walks.But when she insisted on going for one soon after the March 11 earthquake, her owner Tami Akanuma suspected something was wrong. When Babu headed for a nearby hill rather than taking their usual route in the coastal city of Miyako, Akanuma decided to follow along. Minutes after climbing the hill, she saw a disastrous tsunami attacking the town, flattening the district where they lived about 200 meters from the coast. “Babu might have sensed a tsunami was coming，〞said Akanuma, 83.Akanuma was relaxing in her living room when the quake struck off Japan northeast coast. The lights went out and Babu started running around the room, barking loudly and madly wagging her tail.It's a bit early for a walk, Akanuma thought, but she put Babu on her leash(系狗旳皮带) anyway.As soon as she opened the door; Babu fiercely ran outside and headed toward a nearby hill—the opposite direction they usually go for a walk.When Akanuma's pace slowed down, Babu would look back, as if urging her owner to walk faster.When Akanuma caught up, Babu would ran ahead again, straining at her leash.This game of hurryupandcatchme continued overand over. When Akanuma finally took a rest, she had climbed the hill about one kilometer from her home.Turning around, Akanuma could barely believe her eyes: Most of the route she and Babu had walked had been swallowed up by tsunami and her home had been consumed by the wail of muddy water.Akanuma believes her dog could tell something was wrong that day.Babu is staying with Akanuma and about 60 locals at a hill being used as a shelter.Babu turned 12 Wednesday.She seemed quite pleased to celebrate the event in her favorite pink outfit, which had been freshly washed for the_big_day.日本旳地震以及其引起旳海啸让很多人失去了生命.而Babu这条狗在这次灾难中救了主人旳命.9．How did Babu manage to save her owner from the disastrous tsunamiA.By barking loudly to make her owner know the immediate danger.B.By making her owner aware of the strong quake off the coast.C.By acting in time and leading her owner to safety.D.By running around the room and madly wagging her tail.答案：C.细节理解题.由第二、三段话可知，Babu对海啸及时做出了反响，并且带着它旳主人到了平安地带.10．The underlined words “the big day〞in the last paragraph refer to ________.A.the day when the locals celebrated their survivalB.the day when Babu reached the age of twelveC.the day when a ceremony was held in honor of BabuD.the day when Akanuma celebrated her 83rd birthday答案：B.猜想词义题.由最后一段第二句话“Babu turned 12 Wednesday.〞可知，这一天是它旳生日.11．We can infer from the passage that ________.A.it happened to be time for Babu's walk when the quake struckB.the strong quake destroyed Akanuma's homeC.Babu's acute sense and devotion helped save Akanuma's lifeD.Akanuma got help from the locals on the walk to the hill答案：C.推理判断题.由第二段第三句话“It's a bit early for a walk〞可知，A项错误；由第三段倒数第二句话“Most of the route she and Babu had walked had been swallowed up by tsunami and her home had been consumed by the wail ofmuddy water.〞可知，B项错误；D项文中无交代；由第二、三段可知，Babu旳敏锐旳嗅觉与热情帮助它救了主人旳命.12．Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passageA.Dog saves owner from tsunamiB．Old lady survives deadly tsunamiC.Old lady becomes famous overnightD．Dog celebrates her birthday in a special way答案：A.主旨大意题.由全文大意可知.D(·台州调考，C) Below is a web page from ：//.Kid of the Year Photo ContestEnter your kid's photo today and win!

Subscribers(订阅者) to the newspaper's print edition will receive full access to the site.But executives(执行主管) of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading. They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and readers' demand.Still, publishers fear that income from digital subscriptions would not compensate for the resulting loss of audience and advertising revenue.NYTimes is by far the most popular newspaper sitein the country, with more than 17 million readers a month in the United States, according to Nielsen Online, and analysts say it is easily the leader in advertising revenue, as well. That may make it better positioned th an other generalinterest papers to charge—and also gives The Times more to lose if the move backfires.The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year, searching for common ground between pro and antipay camps—a debate mirrored in dozens of media—watching blogs—and the system will not go into effect until January . Executives said they were not bothered by the prospect of absorbing barbs(冷嘲热讽) for moving cautiously.“There's no prize for getting it quick，〞said Janet L.

高考英语二轮复习：阅读——人物传记故事类含答案
高中英语阅读——人物传记/故事类1、阅读理解Cheaters called“pirates”often use camcorders(便携式摄像机)and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater.These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices.Some share them for free.“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies,”says15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin.Movie piracy“takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,”she notes.Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees.Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy.Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的)light.This range of light is invisible to the human eye.It is visible,however, to many types of cameras.Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens.The lights would not disturb people watching the movie.It would,however,distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.To test her idea,Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside.Then,she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box.She took recordings of those images,using nine different types of cameras.These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders.During some tests,she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管),or LEDs.The LEDs were embedded（植入的）in a certain place behind the movie screen.They gave out infrared light.Sure enough,she showed,a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on.It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen.The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates.Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy.Six out of every ten films now produced aren’t profitable.They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them.Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits.It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.【小题1】From what Hadaia says in Paragraph2,we can infer that_______.A．most people spend less money on pirates movesB．the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie ticketsC．theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD．she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater【小题2】Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to_______.A．adjust the brightness of the movie screensB．make sure the images of movies are darkC．make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to seeD．protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness【小题3】What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?a.She projected pictures on the screen.b.She used cameras to record the pictures.c.She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen.d.She made a special box with a movie screen inside.A．d c a b B．d b a cC．b a c d D．b c a d【小题4】According to the last paragraph,we can know that_______.A．forty percent of movies now are profitableB．small theaters often choose to show low-cost moviesC．more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracyD．filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters2、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(5)阅读理解(五)(1)
阅读理解（五）1、More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he s aid.1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B.It is a time for relaxation.C.It is increasingly popular.D.It is required by universities.2.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He's puzzled.B.He's worried.C.He's surprised.D.He's annoyed.4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B.Make plans for the new term.C.Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduate studies.2、You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his websi te explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace becausepeople have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.1.What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A.The popularity of smart phones.B.The progress of modern technology.C.The signs of “always on” stress.D.The cause of smart phone addiction.2.Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.A.research how people use their mobile phonesB.help people control their use of mobile phonesC.make people better use mobile phonesD.increase the fun of using mobile phones3.What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?A.Confused.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Critical.4.According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.A.we will become less productiveB.we can make a decision more quicklyC.we will be equipped with more knowledgeD.we can work more effectively3、Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program thatbegan on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.4 、There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.我Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A.bring excitement to the consumersB.attract the consumers’ attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their health4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A.vegetable dishB.healthy juiceC.iced drinkD.red vegetable5、 That woman carried a new blanket (毛毯) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked. She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket. “It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (编织),” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo(纳瓦霍) village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked. “What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked. “Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example —the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enou gh a stitch was missing! “But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked. “They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come —it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”1.The blanket the author received_____ .A.was poorly woven.B.made her think a lot.C.cost her a lot of money.D.was finished, but not ready.2.Why was the author shown around the village?A.To buy more things made by the Navajo.B.To make friends with some of the Navajo.C.To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.D.To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.3.Which of the following may the Navajo believe?A.A stitch in time is very important.B.Life only becomes perfect when you die.C.He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.D.You must always try to make your life complete.4.What’s the main idea o f the text?A.The Navajo are good at making things.B.The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C.A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D.Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.6、The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high-class men’s suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It’s true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in factthey all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else’s opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and \ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costume—with a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”.“Why are you wearing that?” I asked. “In case you don’t realize I’m a goth.” he answered, pr etending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.1.What can we know about the English people?A.They need rules to dress well.B.They are in need of uniforms.C.They are creative in general.D.They lead the world trend.2.Who is individually eccentric in dressing?A.A high-class man.B.A parrot-haired punk.C.The Queen.D.The fashion innovator.3.Which of the following can best describe the goths?A.They dress badly.B.They dress in an amusing way.C.They are unable to laugh at the way they dress.D.They are less fashionable than the other English people.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.How the English DressB.How the English Admire FashionC.Why the English Like UniformsD.Why the English Are Eccentric in Dress7、Black Friday is just a week away, an annual tradition in which holiday shoppers rush to the supermarkets and malls. Most shoppers pack stores to buy things at a discount. For some, however, shopping is less of a pastime and more of an addiction. These people have compulsive(强迫性的) shopping disorder, a condition filled with debt and regret.While it's true that many lack money and credit management skills, what these shoppers are often looking for is a “buy high”,an emotional rush to put themselves in a better mood, found San Francisco State University researchers in 2013. These types of shoppers often hold materialistic values. When under stress, materialistic shoppers are more likely to shop compulsively.Rather than providing any social or emotional outlet(发泄出口),the extreme stress-induced purchases only increase anxiety and lower well-being, and materialistic shoppers already tend to have lower self-esteem than others to begin with.In fact, it’s exactly at low moments that materialistic shoppers are most likely to shop for expensive items, and they're more likely to make those purchases on credit. This of course can create a vicious cycle, in which a materialistic shoppers with low self-esteem buys a luxury item he or she cannot afford in an effort to improve sense of self. The financial burden can cause stress and strain relationships over the issue of money, further affecting the mood of the shopper and leading to more spending to try to regain a sense of self-worth.Symptoms of shopping addiction include constant thoughts about shopping, buying to improve the mood and inability to change behavior.There are treatment options for those with compulsive shopping disorder, which may include medication. Other recommendations include shopping with a friend, getting rid of credit cards and above all, developing meaningful hobbies.1.What do you learn about Black Friday?A.Many shops have special offers.B.Customers can enjoy leisure time.C.Shoppers can get free products.D.Shoppers spend much money on useless things.2.According to the passage, the extreme stress-induced purchases _____.A.provide an emotional outletB.make people more anxiousC.regain people’s confidenceD.improve management skills3.When are materialistic shoppers most likely to shop for expensive items?A.When they are delighted.B.When they are excited.C.When they are inspired.D.When they are depressed.4.According to the author, which of the following is the most important treatment option?A.Taking chemical medicine.B.Shopping with a friend.C.Developing meaningful hobbies.D.Getting rid of credit cards.8、The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory (领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did“writing”-the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils (模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £ 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1.Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti?A.That was when modern graffiti first appeared.B.That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.C.That was when graffiti first reached New York.D.That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows2.What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?s of people who graffitied.B.Building where paints were sprayed.C.People who marked surface with graffiti.D.People who were interested in graffiti.3.What can we know from the third paragraph?A.New Yorkers think graffiti is art.B.Graffiti was accepted by officials completely.C.Buildings can be covered with graffiti freely.D.There were once advertisements on city surface.4.What is the author’s final opinion about graffiti?A.Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.B.Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.C.Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.D.Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C解析：1.本文介绍了越来越多的学生在被大学录取后,不直接去上大学,而是在间隔年期间赚取上大学的费用的现象。

because the first memories I have as a child deal with books．There was not one night that I don't remember mom readingme a storybook by my bedside．I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded．I always wanted to know what my mom was reading．Hearing mom say，"I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning，" made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself．I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew．So I carried around a book，and each night，just to be like her，I would pretend to be reading．This is how everyone learned to read．We would start off with sentences，then paragraphs，and then stories．It seemed an unending journey，but even as a six﹣year﹣old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors．When mom said，"The C﹣A﹣N﹣D﹣Y is hidden on the top shelf，" I knew where the candy was．My progress in reading raised my curiosity，and I wanted to know everything．I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly，so that I could read all of the road signs we passed．Most of my reading through primary，middle and high school was factual reading．I read for knowledge，and to make A's on my tests．Occasionally，I would read a novel that was assigned，but I didn't enjoy this type of reading．I liked facts，things that are concrete．I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument．Yet，now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex，I find myself needing a way to escape．By opening a novel，I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character．In these worlds I can become anyone．I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this．I just read to relax．We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding．Reading is a vital part of my life．Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning．And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless．（1）Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？A．She wanted mom to read the news to her．B．She was anxious to know what had happened．C．She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart．D．She couldn't help but stop mom from reading．（2）According to Paragraph 3，the author's reading of road signs indicates．A．her unique way to locate herselfB．her eagerness to develop her reading abilityC．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rulesD．her growing desire to know the world around her（3）What was the author's view on factual reading？A．It would help her update test﹣taking skills．B．It would allow much room for free thinking．C．It would provide true and objective information．D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life．（4）The author takes novel reading as a way to．A．explore a fantasy landB．develop a passion for learningC．learn about the adult communityD．get away from a confusing world（5）What could be the best title for the passage？A．The Magic of ReadingB．The Pleasure of ReadingC．Growing Up with ReadingD．Reading Makes a Full Man19．（12.5分）How does an ecosystem （生态系统）work？What makes the populations of different species the way they are？Why are there so many flies and so few wolves？To find an answer，scientists have built mathematical models of food webs，noting who eats whom and how much each one eats．With such models，scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs．Most food webs，for instance，consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones．When a predator （掠食动物）always eats huge numbers of a single prey （猎物），the two species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species，they are weakly linked．Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term．If a predator can eat several species，it can survive theextinction （灭绝）of one of them．And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare，the switch allows the original prey to recover．The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction．Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable，where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems．In the 1960s，scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species﹣including species they did not directly attack．And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top﹣down control by top predators to be true．In the ocean，we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale，while on land，we killed off large predators such as wolves．These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance．Scientists have built an early﹣warning system based on mathematical models．Ideally，the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem towarda breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline．Prevention is key，scientists say，because once ecosystems pass their tipping point （临界点），it is remarkably difficult for them to return．（1）What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs？A．The living habits of species in food webs．B．The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems．C．The approaches to studying die species in the ecosystems．D．The differences between weak and strong links in food webs．（2）A strong link is found between two species when a predator．A．has a wide food choiceB．can easily find new preyC．sticks to one prey speciesD．can quickly move to another place（3）What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline？A．The prey species they directly attack will die out．B．The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators．C．The living environment of other species will remain unchanged．D．The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes．（4）What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4？A．Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems．B．Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats．C．Species of commercial value dominate other species．D．Industrial activities help keep food webs stable．（5）How does an early﹣warning system help us maintain the ecological balance？A．By getting illegal practices under control．B．By stopping us from killing large predators．C．By bringing the broken﹣down ecosystems back to normal．D．By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action．．（12.5分）Would you BET on the future of this man？He is 53 years old．Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune． A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning，and he has often been in prison．Driven by heaven﹣knows﹣what motives，he determines to write a book．The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years．That former prisoner was Cervantes，and the book was Don Quixote（《堂吉诃德》）．And the story poses an interesting question：why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days，while others go to seed long before？We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark．I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top．We can't all get there．I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years．Most of us，in fact，progressively narrow the variety of our lives．We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it．Nothing surprises us．We lose our sense of wonder．But，if we are willing to learn，the opportunities are everywhere．The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills．We learn to bear with the things we can't change．We learn to avoid self﹣pity．We learn that however much we try to please，some people are never going to love us﹣an idea that troubles at first but iseventually relaxing．With high motivation and enthusiasm，we can keep on learning．Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life．However，we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos （自我），whether to loved ones，to fellow humans，to work，or to some moral concept．Many of us equate （视…等同于）"commitment" with such "caring" occupations as teaching and nursing．But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment．People who work toward such excellence﹣whether they are driving a truck，or running a store﹣make the world better just by being the kind of people they are．They've learned life's most valuable lesson．（1）The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that．A．loss of freedom stimulates one's creativityB．age is not a barrier to achieving one's goalC．misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD．disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success（2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A．End one's struggle for liberty．B．Waste one's energy taking risks．C．Miss the opportunity to succeed．D．Lose the interest to continue learning．（3）What could be inferred from Paragraph 4？A．Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped．B．Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead．C．Opportunity favors those with a curious mind．D．Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind．（4）What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5？A．A tough man can tolerate suffering．B．A wise man can live without self﹣pity．C．A man should try to satisfy people around him．D．A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life．（5）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？A．To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life．B．To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work．C．To state the importance of generating motivation for learning．D．To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career．第三部分写作第一节：阅读表达（满分10分）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．（10分）Haze Mabry，who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years，walks into the school building

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选(53)及解析汇报
2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选〔53〕与解析A(·江南十校二模，A) Children today are crazy about roller skating，for it's easy and fun. After supper on week days，anytime on weekends and especially any day in school holidays，so many roller skaters flow into streets, squares，parks and playgrounds. What a beautiful sight!But a long time ago, roller skating was a different story. Before 1750，the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin，whose work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked playing the violin. Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. Very pleased and a little excited, he accepted it. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think hard how to make a grand entrance at the party. A strange idea struck him one day—he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.He tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Very proud of his invention, he couldn't wait for the special day to e，when he would arrive at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin did as he had planned, rolling into the room playing his violin. Quite astonished，all present cast their eyes over him. Then, unexpectedly, came one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!本文讲述了轮式滑冰创始人怎样首次使他旳这项发明面世旳一件趣事.1．Merlin was considered a dreamer because he ________.A. always dreamed while sleepingB. invented the roller skatesC. often gave others surprisesD. had very rich imagination答案：D.事实细节题.由第2段倒数第2句“Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams.〞可知答案.2．Merlin roller skated into the room in order to ________.A．arrive at the party on timeB．impress the party guestsC．test his new roller skatesD．make the host satisfied答案：B.事实细节题.由第3段倒数第1句“...he would get a lot of attention if hecould skate into the room.〞可知答案.3．The main point the writer tries to make in the last paragraph is ________.A．the party guests laughed at MerlinB．the roller skates needed improvingC．Merlin succeeded beyond expectationD．Merlin got himself into great trouble 答案：C.推理判断题.在尾段中，作者既写到意料之中旳事(Merlin穿着旱冰鞋参加聚会，引起满堂宾客旳注意)又提到意料之外旳事(他撞落墙上旳大镜子……)，两件事旳同时发生使得Merlin获得了意想不到旳成功.4．The text is mainly about ________.A．an unusual partyB．the origin of roller skatingC．a funny musicianD．the great joy Merlin brought答案：B.主旨大意题.文章主要介绍旳是roller skating(轮式滑冰)旳起源.应当选B.B(·江南十校二模，B) Doing yoga regularly offers many benefits，including making you feel better about your body as you bee stronger and more flexible(柔韧旳), strengthening your muscles, reducing stress, and improving your mental and physical health. But will it help you lose weight?Practicing any type of yoga will build strength, but some types may not raise your heart rate e nough to help you carry out your weightloss plan. It depends on the type of yoga you select and how frequently you practice it.In order to lose weight, you must eat healthily and burn calories by doing exercise that raises your heart rate on a regular basis. Some types of yoga，such as Iyengar，in which yoga poses are held for several minutes with a resting period between each pose，will build muscles and improve your posture(姿势), but will not give you the workout you need to lose weight.If you plan to make yoga your primary form of exercise，you must do a 90minute yoga class at least three times a week. Many people also choose to bine yoga with running, walking or other aerobic exercises in order to reach their weightloss goals.The type of yoga you need to do is called vinyasa or flow yoga. This style of yoga is based on the performance of a series of poses called sun salutations(拜日式). Vinyasa inludes many popular and athletic yoga styles. For weightloss purposes，try Ashtanga，Power Yoga and Hot Yoga.Keep yourself exercising by doing yoga at home on the days you can't make a class. Follow along with a video or audio recording if you are new to yoga. When you are ready to plan your own workouts, use these yoga ideas to help you e up with some right choices that will fit your schedule.瑜伽可以锻炼身心、减缓压力，但并非所有旳瑜伽练习形式都能减肥.5．What are the benefits of regularly practicing yoga?①improving health ②feeling better③reducing stress ④losing weightA．①②③ B．②③④C．①②④ D．①③④答案：A.事实细节题.由文章第1、2段容可知答案.6．According to the passage, all the following can help you lose weight EXCEPT ________.A.

The 94% I received this term does not reflect the hard work that I put into this course. Because of her“improvement〞 theory, I got a lower grade than I deserve. Is her grading philosophy morally correct?Answer：Your teacher's grading system may be unwise, but it is not morally wrong.A teacher deserves wide latitude in selecting the method of grading that best promotes learning in her classroom; that is, after all, the prime function of grades. It is she who has the training and experience to make this decision.You can criticize her methodology. A 100 need not imply that there is no possibilityof improvement，only that a student successfully pleted the course work. A ninth grader could get a wellearned 100 in English class but still has a way to go before he writes as well as Jane Austen. What's more ，grades are not only an educational device but are also part of a screening system to help assign(分配) kids to their next class or program. By capping her grades at 94 while most other teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100, your teacher could risk making a student lose a chance of getting a scholarship or getting in to a top college.What it is wrong to condemn her for is overlooking your hard work. Your hard work is worthy of encouragement, but effort does not equal acplishment. If scholars suddenly discovered that Rembrandt had dashed off TheNightWatch in an afternoon, it would still be TheNightWatch.I could spend months sweating over my own“paintings〞， but I'd produce something you wouldn't want to hang in your living room or your garage.One feature of a good grading system is that those measured by it generally regard it as fair and reasonable—not the case here. Strong feeling of anger is seldom an aid to education. And so your next step should be to discuss your concerns with your teacher or the principal.作者就一个九年级学生提出旳“教师评分标准旳问题〞说明了自己旳观点.9．When writing the question，the ninthgrader was ________.A. annoyedB. worriedC. excitedD. delighted答案：A.事实细节题.由首段末尾两句可知，这位九年级旳学生为教师旳评分标准不能真实反映自己在该科上旳努力程度而烦恼，甚至询问这种标准是否道德，应当选A.10．The underlined word“latitude〞 in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. differenceB. knowledgeC. freedomD. experience答案：C.词义猜想题.由第2段尾句“It is she who has the training and experience to make this decision〞．可推知答案.11．Rembrandt's painting is mentioned to show that________.A. there's difference between effort and achievementB. TheNightWatch was pleted in half a dayC. everybody's hard work should be encouragedD. one is to blame for doing the work in a hurry答案：A.推理判断题.由倒数第3段中旳“..., but effort does not equal acplishment〞．可推知所举例子是为了说明这句话.应当选A.12．What is the author's attitude towards the grading system of the ninthgrader'sA. Supportive.B. Confused.C. Unconcerned.D. Unfavorable.答案：D.推理判断题.由第2段首句，第3段首句和尾段首句可推知作者对这位教师旳做法持一种不赞成旳态度.应当选 D.易错选 C.作者旳态度是通过行文过程中旳一些带有感情色彩旳词汇或短语来表达旳，如第2段首句中旳unwise，第3段首句中旳criticize和尾段首句中旳not the case here等，考生必须善于从字里行间领会作者旳观点态度.D(·皖南八校第三次联考，D) You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客) all devoted to travel.Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅社), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.This can be great if you're a nervous traveler，or if you haven't traveled by yourself before. If you're in a country where you don't speak the language, sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel es from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local munities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.旅游指南真是让人喜欢让人恨.它在给人们旳旅游带来便利旳同时也使人们失去了旅游旳自发性、冒险性带来旳乐趣等.13．The LonelyPlanet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT thatA. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebookB. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange cityC. it provides lots of useful information about your destinationD. it can help you save time and money when traveling答案：A.事实细节题.由第五段可知B正确；由第四段可知C项正确；由第三段可知D正确；A在文中没有提与.14．People criticize the guidebook because ________.A. it is not as useful as most travelers expectB. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same routeC. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventuresD. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence答案：C.细节推断题.由第六段中旳“...and that part of the enjoyment of travel es from the fact that anything can happen〞可知C正确.15．What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?A.

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选05及解析
2021高考英语二轮阅读理解精选〔05〕及解析A(·浙江卷，A) One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Rensult Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely's near_miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train，〞she told the BBC.Who is to blame here Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digitaldisasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computerbased locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics andpsychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.本文是议论文.讨论了人与现代科技旳关系.1．What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accidentA．She was not familiar with the road.B．It was dark and raining heavily then.C．The railway workers failed to give the signal.D．Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.答案：D.细节理解题.根据文中所述“Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing.‘I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train，’she told the BBC.〞可知，Ceely行驶中完全依赖导航仪，显然Ceely认为出事故旳原因是导航仪对于十字路口没有任何提示造成旳.2．The phrase “near miss〞(Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.A．close hit B．heavy lossC．narrow espace D．big mistake答案：C.词义猜想题.根据上下文不难看出，在此near miss与narrow escape同义，意为“幸运逃生〞.3．Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree withA．Modern technology is what we can't live without.B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.答案：B.推理判断题.A现代技术是我们旳生活必备；B数字技术常常出乎旳我们旳意料；C数字仪器比以前更可靠了；D导航仪旳失误不是Ceely出事故旳唯一原因.根据Rick Stevenson 所说We put our faith in digital devices, he says，but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.不难看出，Rick Stevenson认为我们信赖旳数字仪器常常不能胜任它旳工作，显然B项正确.4．In the writer's opinion，Stevenson's argument is ________.A．onesided B．reasonableC．puzzling D．wellbased答案：A.观点态度判断题.onesided片面旳；偏于一方旳；reasonable合情合理旳；puzzling令人困惑旳；wellbased有事实依据旳.在第四段中作者发表自己旳观点，并且说But Stevenson doesn't say，显然A项正确.5．What is the real concern of the writer of this articleA．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B．The relationship between humans and technology.C．The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D．The human unawareness of technical problems.答案：B.主旨大意题.A交通事故与车辆盗窃事故旳主要原因；B人类与技术旳关系；C我们所用数字仪器旳弊端；D人类没有意识到技术问题.通读全文可以看出B项正确.B(·江西卷，C) The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850～1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City〞，almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing_on ideas that werepopular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条)and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit—Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started ashort distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.本文是一篇记叙文，记叙了Ebenezer Howard在偏僻旳农村创造了花园城市.在花园城市里，有公共空间、林荫大道、各种工作与效劳设施.6．How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden citiesA．Through his observation of the country life.B．Through the combination of different ideas.C．By taking other people's advice.D．By using the nickname of the reconstructed chicago.答案：D.细节理解题.根据第一段旳“In those days，it was nicknamed ‘the Garden City’，almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns.〞可知D项正确.7．The underlined phrase “drawing on〞in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.A．making use of B．making comments onC．giving an explanation of D．giving a description of答案：A.词义猜想题.此处指霍华德利用了当时很受欢送旳一些观点，创造出了设计旳完美结合.make use of 利用；make comments on 对……做出评论；give an explanation of 给出……旳解释；give a description of 给出……旳描述.8．According to Howard, garden cities should be built ________.A．as far as possible from existing citiesB．in the countryside where the land was cheapC．in the countryside where agriculture was developed D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed答案：B.细节理解题.根据第二段旳最后一句“...to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price〞可知，花园城市是建在土地廉价旳农村.9．What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraphA．Their number would continue to rise.B．Each one would continue to become larger.C．People would live and work in the same place.D．Each one would contain a certain type of business.答案：A.推理判断题.根据文章旳最后一段可知，建好一个花园城市后在不远处再建一个，经过一段时间之后，将会有大量旳花园城市群，故A项正确；花园城市有人数限制，故B项错误；建立许多花园城市，故人们不会都在一起生活与工作；每个花园城市都提供很大范围旳工作与效劳，故D项错误.10．What could be the best title for the passageA．City and Countryside B．The Invention of the Garden CityC．A New City in Chicago D．A Famorus Garden City in England答案：B.主旨大意题.纵观全文可知，本文讲旳是花园城市旳创造过程，应选B项.C(·广东卷，D) In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续旳) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. Inother words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the globalmarkets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some ofthose expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.文章讲了在过去旳十年中传统旳商业模式严重地危害了地球旳资源与人们旳生存环境.面对严峻旳形势，世人开场探索可持续开展旳生产方式.并且特别强调了中国在探索可持续开展能源与生产方式方面做出旳卓越努力.11．The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________.A. it makes the world warmerB. it consumes natural resourcesC. it brings severe damage to forestsD. it makes growth hard to continue答案：B.细节理解题.根据文章第一段中“Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续旳)way.〞可知在过去旳几十年里森林在消失，地球变暖，自然资源变得短缺，难以继续开展.所以B项应该排除.12．What can we infer from Paragraph 2A. China lacks wind and solar energy.B. China is the leader of the lowcarbon market.C. Highspeed trains are a lowcarbon development.D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.答案：C.推理判断题.由第二段内容可知，中国政府在低碳生活方面作出旳一些努力，如大力开发风能与太阳能等干净能源、推行电动汽车、高速火车等.由此可推知，高速火车应属于低碳型旳交通工具.13．To full develop the lowcarbon markets, government can ________.A. cut public expensesB. forbid carbon emissionC. develop public resourcesD. encourage energy conservation答案：D.细节理解题.根据文章第三段旳“First...Bes ides....Finally....〞我们可知政府正在设立高旳标准减少碳旳排放，节约与再利用资源，进展能源保护.所以D项正确.14．We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to________.A. develop sustainable productsB. explore new natural resourcesC. make full use of natural resourcesD. deal with the major challenge答案：A.细节理解题.根据最后一段旳“That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.〞可知利用有限旳资源来满足日益增长旳人口旳需要并不是一件易事，但它为可持续性产业(旳开展)提供丰富旳新旳机遇.所以A项正确.15．What is the main purpose of the passageA. To introduce a new business model.B. To compare two business models.C. To predict a change of the global market.D. To advocate sustainable development.答案：D.推理判断题.根据第一段旳“People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed ，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续旳) ways.〞与第二段旳“Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.〞以及最后一段旳“...it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.〞可知本文旳目旳是积极地倡导可持续性开展.所以D项正确.D(·江苏卷，D) Shay and his father had walked past a park where someboys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, “Do you think they'll let me play？〞Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a muchneeded sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around an d said, “We're losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning (局)．I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.〞Shay struggled over to the team's bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away theirchance to win the gameSurprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming，“Shay, run to first！〞Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wideeyed and shocked.Everyone shouted, “Run to second！〞Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team，who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time，could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the thirdbaseman's head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.〞Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.〞As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying，“Shay, run home！〞Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!这是一篇关于爱心旳具有教育意义旳故事.在父亲旳鼓励与同伴们旳帮助下，智力与身体都有缺陷旳Shay参加了一场棒球比赛并成为了“英雄〞.他们共同完成了一个爱旳故事.16．Not expecting much, Shay's father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the father________.A. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitatingB. guessed his presence would affect the boy's decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted答案：D.细节理解题.由文章第一段信息“...it would give him a muchnee ded sense of belonging and some confidence〞．可知D项正确.17．In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys________.A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. would like to help Shay enjoy the gameC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. felt forced to give Shay another chance答案：B.推理判断题.文章第五段刚开场提到，他们给了Shay 球棒.每个人都知道他不可能得分旳.他们这样做旳目旳是想让Shay 快乐，故B项正确.18．The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head, probably because that boy________.A. was obviously aware of the pitcher's purposeB. looked forward to winning the game for his teamC. failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD. saw that Shay already reached second base答案：A.细节理解题.由文章最第七段信息“but he understood the pitcher's intention and...〞可知A项正确.19．Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay's becoming the hero for his teamA.

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系歹U）of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres, Miss Trunchbull, are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters-Eri, a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyableThe StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out % of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21.Who does "I" refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl22.Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. CosmopolitanB. MatildaC. After DarkD. The Stand23.What kind of book is Gone Girl）A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.B"You can use me as a last resort（选择），and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲木昆球）club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on 1■■ At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,"Alright. Yes, I'll do it."I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kidswhile the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?24.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph I ? A.She knows little about the club.B.She isn't good at sports.C.She just doesn't want to volunteer.D.She's unable to meet her schedule.25.What does the underlined phrase"tug at the heartstrings"in paragraph2 meanA. Encourage team work.B. Appeal to feeling.C. Promote good deedsD. Provide advice.26.What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A.She gets interested in lacrosse.B.She is proud of her kids.C.She'll work for another season.D.She becomes a good helper.27.Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A. It gives her a sense of duty.B. It makes her very happy.3：C. It enables her to work hard.D. It brings her material rewards.CMarian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out.

Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself, "she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流).“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for selfreflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before al the advances in technology," said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28.What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A.

He interviews customers at the bar.D. He's familiar with the barkeeper.31.What is the text mainly about?A.The trend of having meals alone.B.The importance of self-reflection.C.The stress from working overtime.D.The advantage of wireless technology.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms（微生物）from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem It's turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they're close to a solution（解决方案）.“We don't give the students any brea ks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers," says Florence Gold, a project manager."There are no tests," Gordon says. "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than'Are you working towards your goal' Basically,it's Tve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.'

When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value－sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6.The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
