一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.(1)What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.(2)What does the underlined word "persist" in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.(3)What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.(4)In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了记忆消失的一些知识。

2019版高考英语黄冈经典一轮(通用版)课时提升作业: 二十六 选修6 Unit 1 Word版含答案

课时提升作业二十六选修6Unit 1Art(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AMartha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha’s parents didn’t approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, andthe Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn’t give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990’s Maple Leaf Rag.A Dancer’s World is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country’s highest civilian ho nor. She died in 1991. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.【文章大意】本文属于说明文, 作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了现代舞之母玛莎·格兰姆的一生以及她在舞蹈方面的成就。

湖北黄冈中学高考英语试卷阅读理解题分类汇编(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解"When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don't even have to be the target of the had behavior," stated a researcher.The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to complete online surveys over a 10-day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up; and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day.Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language.Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants completed an evaluation that measured their self-confidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness.Consequently, one of the researchers recommended that companies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (强化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness.(1)What is Paragraph 1 intended to show?A. The popularity of rudeness.B. A regular cause of rudeness.C. A new finding about rudeness.D. The common disadvantage of rudeness.(2)Why are the short videos played for the participants?A. To make them spread rudeness.B. To educate them on workplace interaction.C. To expose them to various aspects of rudeness.D. To teach them how to use right body languages.(3)What is the probable effect of watching the videos on some participants?A. Being unwilling to work.B. Poor ability to do their work.C. Serious emotional sufferings.D. Less interaction with others.(4)Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos?A.People positive and kind to themselves.B.People keeping calm in stressful situations.C.People owning confidence in others' ability.D.People participating in the rudeness experiment.【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)D(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,研究表明,关于“无礼”行为作为一种“传染性”行为是可以避免的。

His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love,nature,history,time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet,he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth,receive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈,他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院,他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名,于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。

2015黄冈中学一轮英语阅读理解练习(3)及答案(精品)阅读理解(一)阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

You know how wonderful you are,and you know that othersknow how wonderful you are,but what do you do whenadmiration crosses over the line into jealousy?For mostteens there will come a day when you realize that one ofyour friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurtingyour friendship.When this happens it can seem like thereis nothing that you can do,but the good news is that thereis.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is,but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited),just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond,then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend,ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If,for example,(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember,though,that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action,chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't,be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.【语篇解读】本文是关于人际关系的话题。

课时提升作业二十八选修6Unit 3 A healthy life(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解Popular culture often shows alcohol as a big part of the college experience in the United States. Television programs and movies about American college life have images of wild parties with young people either drinking alcohol or holding a drink.Now, a new study of alcohol use suggests that some college students may be missing meals so they can have more drinks or get drunk faster. Researchers are calling this kind of behavior “drunkorexia”.The study involved 1, 184 college students between the ages of 18 and 26. Researchers found that 80 percent of those studied had demonstrated some kind of drunkorexia in the past three months. They had performed heavy physical exercise, eaten low calorie meals or even missed meals for up to a full day before drinking alcohol.Dipali Rinker organized the study and presented its findings to the Research Society on Alcoholism in June. She says students seedrunkorexia as a way to keep their body weight down while drinking alcohol. And it causes them to feel the effects of alcohol quickly and with more intensity(强度). Rinker says unhealthy eating habits are only one of the reasons why this type of behavior is dangerous. Heavy drinking is linked to drunk driving, unprotected sex, and alcohol poisoning.George Koob, who directs a U. S. governmental agency that studies alcohol related problems, says that the percent of students using alcohol has not increased in recent years. But what worries him is that the number of students drinking to the point of “blacking out” has increased. Blacking out is when a person drinks so much alcohol he has no memory of his actions when drunk.Koob notes that college students in Canada and Europe also face issues with alcohol. But he feels a big part of the problem is that Americans do not fully understand alcohol’s effects. Most people do not know the part of the brain where decisions are made is not fully developed until age 25 and that alcohol harms the development of that part of the brain, he adds.【文章大意】文章描述美国大学生饮酒过量的现象, 以及饮酒过量所带来的后果。

People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it does n't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!(1)What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.B. How we can weather the storm.C. Weathering a storm doesn't involve actual weather.D. People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm.(2)Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To develop the awareness of family.C. To explain the meaning of an expression.D. To praise the older children for being clever.(3)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.(4)What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.B. To tell us some expressions about storm.C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

2015黄冈中学一轮英语阅读理解练习(4)及答案(精品)阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Expe rts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.B. When people have good behaviour, they wi ll gain success.C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?A. Firstly they have to think highly of themse lves.B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.C. They can not adjust themselves.D. First personally they must manage themselves .4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?A. Bright future.B. Good beginning.C. Good scenery.D. Pretty background.5. To be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ?A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.B. They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths.C. They must pay close attention to modesty.D. They must be concerned about courage and patience.【参考答案】1—5、ACDAB较难题目特训:介绍说明类阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Most of us probably dreamed about becoming an astronaut when we were little. But how many of us actually became one, or are at least working toward it?The advice “Always follow your dreams” is something that is typically easier said than done.But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates for NASA's 2033 project to go to Mars. If everything goes well, Carson will be one of the first human beings to ever set foot on the red planet.Carson has dreamed of going to Mars since she was only three years old. Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so.Since then, she has worked hard toward this goal. At the age of 12, Carson became the first person to attend all three NASA space camps, and she sat with real astronauts in a NASA panel(座谈会) to discuss the future of Mars missions.Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages –English, French, Spanish and Chinese.“I don't think there's anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others can't do,” Carson said in an interview with Uproxx News. “I've just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish.”And Carson is willing to make sacrifices for her dream. She's fully aware of the danger of the mission and the possibility that she might never be able to come back. She also accepts the fact that she can't get married and start a family because any loved ones left on Earth may be a distraction for her and for the mission. But Carson believes that it's all worth it, summarizing her view with this ancient Greek proverb she once quoted, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they'll never sit in.”So after all the hard work that Carson has done and all the sacrifices she's made, everything still boils down to the simple phrase, “follow your dreams”. And while some people's dreams may sound out of this world, in Carson's case, they literally(毫不夸张地) are.(1)What will happen to Carson in 2033 if everything goes well? (No more than 8 words) (2)Why did Carson decide to be the first one to go to Mars? (No more than 20 words)(3)How does Carson differ from other students for the school work? (No more than 10 words) (4)How do you understand the underlined sentence? (No more than 20 words)(5)What do you think of the girl? And why? (No more than 25 words)【答案】(1)She will set foot on the Mars. / She will go to the Mars.(2)Because of watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars.(3)She studies all her subjects in four languages.(4)A society will make progress if people make contributions without considering personal benefits.(5)She is brave and unselfish, because she may not return to the earth and is willing to make sacrifices for her dream.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个勇敢无私的女孩Carson为了实现自己的梦想不惜牺牲自己的利益。

黄冈市最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.The waterway's fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year" award. And before long he got a nickname:" Mr. Buffalo River. "But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river's protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River's $100 million restoration.So far, the Buffalo River's water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.(1)What did the Buffalo River use to be?A. A waterway on the yearbook.B. A river heavily polluted.C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.D. A place worth fighting for.(2)Why was Mr.Spisiak named "Mr. Buffalo River"?A. Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.B. Because he spotted dumpers on the River.C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.(3)How long did it take for the river to restore?A. More than half a century.B. Just four decades.C. About 30 years.D. Only 27 years.(4)What can be a suitable title for this text?A. The restoration of the Buffalo RiverB. Stanley Spisiak: The "Mr.Buffalo River"C. The future of the Buffalo RiverD. River protection: A long way to go【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)A(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。

Education isn’t all about classrooms. Homework plays a huge role in student learning. Given how much time we spend studying in a lifetime, and how hard it is to find time to study, techniques that make studying more efficient ─ that is, techniques that allow you to learn more in the same amount of time ─ can be incredibly valuable. One of the most important study techniques that you don’t know about is this: Space your studying.What does that mean? If you are going to study something twice (or more), try to let as much time pass as possible between the first and second time you study. For example, don’t read your textbook chapter and then review it on the same day. Study it and then review it on a different day, and allow as much time to pass between the two study sessions as possible. Better yet, spread your studying across numerous days. You don’t necessarily have to study more, you just have to distribute your study time differently. When you sit down to study, mix up your topics ─ instead of studying one topic per day, study every topic a little bit every day.My research team had a combined 50 years experience studying the spacing effect. We should have known better, because our pred iction couldn’t have been more wrong. Spacing helped enormously.Spacing gives you time to forget. This forgetting is a good thing; forgetting is the friend of learning. But forgetting can make you feel like you are not learning. On the other hand, re-studying something right away makes it seem easy to remember. Unfortunately, this makes people feel that spacing hinders learning.Your intuition (直觉) will tell you that spacing is a terrible idea. And your intuition will be wrong. Don’t trust it. Trust the scientific evidence.1. The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us .A. education isn’t all about classroomsB. homework plays a huge role in student learningC. it’s hard to find time to studyD. learning techniques can be of great value2. The technique “Space your studying” means.A. trying to studying something as many times as possibleB. allowing as much time to pass between the twice (or more) as you canC. not doing the same thing on the same dayD. studying more and distributing your study time differently3. The underlined word “enormously” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by.A. greatlyB. differentlyC. hopefullyD. unforgettably4. Why will your intuition tell you that spacing is a terrible idea?A. Because spacing gives you time to forget.B. Because forgetting is the friend of learning.C. Because spacing can make you feel like you are not learning.D. Because your intuition will be wrong.【参考答案】1—4、DBAB较难题目特训:介绍说明类阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A blog can be a very effective way of spreading the word about yourself, and your other writing. It can unshroud your knowledge, and create an ongoing relationship with your readers. A good blog is more than just a marketing tool; it’s also an expression of your personality.An obvious starting point is to post samples of your work that not only show off your skills and writing ability but also leave people wanting more. Post selections from the most exciting parts of your stories but end them just as the action reaches its peak. If you write nonfiction (写实文学), show people what they could achieve, and give them a few steps to get them started.Give tips, information and advice about the subjects you cover. For example, something about struggling with difficulty and many other issues like this. Your writing tips can also be included, as well as interesting, strange or funny things you discovered during your research. Whenever you contact an expert, ask if he or she has any interesting stories you could use. You may also give background information about your stories and the locations.Give details of coming posts on your blog, so people can watch out for you, or come and meet you. Personal news will help people feel better connected to you. Include photos of objects and locations in your writing, famous people you meet, the views from your window, and your favorite things—with a note about where they came from and what they mean to you. Look out for things that will help your readers get to know you better, know the subject better, or anything else you think they might find useful, inspiring or entertaining.If you only occasionally post things on your blog, people have a tendency to forget you. As a writer you shouldn’t ever run out of interesting material to fill your blog with—and your readers will love you for it.1. Which is the best title for the text?A. What to Blog aboutB. How to Start a BlogC. Why to Launch a BlogD. How to Make Blog Attractive2. The underlined word “unshroud” in the first paragraph means.A. put onB. turn upC. show offD. write down3.
