2019届高考英语二轮复习必刷题型：(8)阅读理解(八)含答案解析
阅读理解（八）1、Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.1.The passage is mainly about ________.munication typesB.the workplace atmosphereC.customs and social mannersD.living conditions and standards2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A.They put efficiency in the first place.B.They dislike face-to-face communication.C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.3.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A.When greeting seniorsB.When meeting the host aloneC.When attending a presentationD.When dining with business partners.4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A.In Brazil.B.In Singapore.C.In the United Arab Emirates.D.In Switzerland.2、Food festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣), buthot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Eood and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!1.In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must _____.A.wear various formal clothesB.roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC.kick or throw their cheesee a real cheese weighing about four kilos2.Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A.In New Mexico.B.In the Caribbean.C.In Australia.D.In China.3.The celebration of La Tomatina lasts _______.A.three daysB.seven daysC.less than three daysD.more than seven days4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.B.More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C.Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.D.An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.3 、Since I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I gues s I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's wh en I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beij ing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.1.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A.Chinese cultureB.Chinese foodC.Chinese peopleD.Chinese history2.The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A.something preciousB.something deliciousC.something expensiveD.something unavailable3.What might be the author’s attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A.Doubtful.B.CuriousC.Shocked.D.Regretful.4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B.China is changing steadily and slowly.C.China will always stay as what it was.D.People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.4、Travelling by car in Switzerland is very easy, as villages and towns are very well marked and accessible. All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along expressways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF(瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.1.What can you know from the text?A.The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B.Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C.Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D.In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.2.What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A.Swiss FrancsB.Ali-payC.MasterCardD.American Express3.What type of writing is this text?A.Geography posterB.An activity announcementC.Travel journalD.Travel guide5、Studies show farmland in Africa is often lacking in important nutrients. But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.Researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants —those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says, "One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions. So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the field. ”Mr. Reganold says poor soils may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter. They're not putting in fertilizers. They can't afford those things. And it just runs the soil down. So they’re worsening the situation."The scientist says the word perennation defines three systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops. Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia. The trees are planted among maize(玉米), millet or sorghum crops. They not only add nitrogen to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down. At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perennation.“She’s a grandmother in her fifties. Her name is Rhoda Mang yan a and she started using this system about twenty years ago. And her yields initially were about a ton of maize. Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare,four times what she was getting."1.The purpose of the passage is to ________.A.tell people how to increase productionB.introduce an agricultural system in AfricaC.introduce the oldest farming method in AfricaD.tell us how to prevent soils from being poor2.What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.Being exposed to wind and rain.B.Growing different crops.C.Being polluted severely.D.Being ploughed improperly.3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A.Perennation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.B.Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.C.Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.D.American researchers first invented perennation.4.Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang'yana?A.To show the method is very popular in Africa.B.Because she is an expert at farming production.C.To prove the farming method is effective.D.Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.6、The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofedplant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.2.What do es the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality.D.Deciding the conditions.3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.4.The passage is developed mainly by _____.A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examples7、I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean t o an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specif ic. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turni ng one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.1.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.A.keep ourselves busyB.get absent-mindedC.grow anxiousD.stay focused2.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.3.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.4.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A.Take it seriously.B.Don't rely on others.C.Do something else.D.Don’t lose heart.5.The author supports his view by ____________.A.exploring various causes of "waits"B.describing detailed processes of "waits"C.analyzing different categories of "waits"D.revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"8、Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular “Positive Thinking” movement, which encourages us to “be full of positive energy” and“let go of our anger”.However, thetruth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.The reason we're often urged to “keep a lid on” our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that “anger is wrong”and “you should keep your anger inside”.But t hese messages don't change the fact that, for most of us, anger exists.Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotions”and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly, these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity. “Only losers complain!I am a winner!” is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism.Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should “let go of ” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behaviour.Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.1.What is the write r's opinion about the “Positive Thinking” movement?A.It can help people control their negative feelings.B.It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger.C.Following such advice can improve people's chances for success.D.Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest.2.The underlined expression “keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.A.freely expressB.always forgiveC.hold insidepletely forget3.What information would have been useful to add to the final paragraph?A.The names of some good books that talk about anger issues.B.The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.C.Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer's beliefs.D.Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way.4.The content of this passage is mostly based on________.A.factB.opinionC.theoryD.story答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.B; 4.D解析：1.本文是说明文,题材为社会文化类。

I was 1 that persistence is the only way towards success. But a small 2 made me change my mind.One day my two-year-old son, 3at a dozen of“stood”color marker-pens, cheered excitedly, “Mummy, look! I did it. ”Afterwards, hecollected some ballpoint pens, 4to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpoint pens just lay 5 . He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said6 , “Mummy can’t help you. ”To my surprise, he wouldn’t listen and continued trying. . . I was dumbfounded by his persistence.My son’s behaviour reminded me of George who was always7 in his work and rarely talked to anyone.To him, 8 , there was no such thing called weekends or hol idays. Our boss praised 9 about him and 10us to look up to him as a role model.One day I met George. “Gonna work late again tonight? ”“Probably I can’t leave till midnight, ”he said.“How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or nin ety? ”“11 . ”“Don’t you have time to be with your family at all? ”He shook his head slowly and 12a sigh. “It’s not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so lon g. It’s much too 13 to even think about letting go. ”A year later I resigned. The 14thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since th en I’ve never seen him. But occasionally his aged 15would come to my mind.Until that day, 16knowing why the ballpoint pens couldn’t stand up, the two-year-old son had 17the impossibility after many failures. He put aside all the ballpoi nt pens and kept only those marker-pens for his“game”.18 , he already learned to let go of his p revious 19 attempts.Inour daily life, many headaches can be avoided if we know how t o 20 them and then decisively let them go immediately. 【文章大意】作者自小就被父母和老师教育: 做任何事都要执着, 但一次两岁的儿子试图将圆珠笔竖起来, 结果却没能成功, 这让她想起一个名叫George的朋友, 他是个工作狂, 心中只有工作, 没有家人, 结果妻子与他离婚。

Mailing your entry on October 30.Passage BThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in gr oundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,”explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are als o trying to develop an on and off “switch”where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of different plants.B. A big fall in crime rates.C. Employees from various workplaces.D. Benefits from green plants.2. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?A. To detect plants’ lack of waterB. To change compositions of plantsC. To make the life of plants longer.D. To test chemicals in plants.3. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?A. They will speed up energy production.B. They may transmit electricity to the home.C. They might help reduce energy consumption.D. They could take the place of power plants.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can we grow more glowing plants?B. How do we live with glowing plants?C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?Passage CI did not remember her, but recently her email note surprised me.

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

高考全国卷英语阅读理解专项训练(八)广告类应用文5 篇(含答案解析)
高考全国卷英语阅读理解专项训练（八）广告类应用文5篇1European Day of Languages falls on 26 September. BBC News Online reported the attitudes across several European Union countries to languages.Tamsin Smith, Rome, ItalyItalians attach very high importance to language learning, particularly English. Twenty years ago it was quite difficult to find an English speaker here but today it is quite easy. The strong influence of American and English culture helps young people to learn the English language. They often become familiar with it through Harry Potter books or Disney movies. English schools, where Italian children are taught all their lessons in English, are also becoming popular among rich Italians.Lucien Libert, Paris, FranceLanguages are very important in France. A good knowledge of the English language is necessary for many Frenchmen to get a good job and the more languages you can learn, the better. English is the first language you learn in school and you start very young. Most people have at least eight years of English learning at school. Learning German or Spanish comes next and Latin is also taught in most schools. While French people learn languages, there is also a movement to protect the French language.James Helm, Dublin, IrelandThe English language predominates in Ireland, but the ancient Irish language is a lasting source of pride and interest, and it remains a living tongue that is used in several areas. Schools are required to teach ancient Irish, and most students learn it as part of the subjects. There is a continuing discussion about how to protect the language best. In recent years some primary schools have introduced foreign language classes for younger students, and the Irish government has tried to encourage schools to offer more languages such as French, Spanish, German and Italian.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Tamsin Smith?A. English learning in Italy has been popular for more than a century.B. Some popular books and movies help young Italian people with their English a lot.C. Only children from rich families like to learn English in Italy.D. More and more Italian children have given up learning their mother tongue.22. What can help you get a better job in France?A. Studying abroad for at least one year.B. Learning English at younger ages.C. Knowing another language but French.D. Learning several languages well.23.

Since then, it has grown to cover 104km.Folgaria is proud of its history and culture. You’re unlikely to hear English spoken here and in some bars, it won’t even be Italian, but Cimbro, the ancient so uthern Bavarian language brought to these mountains by settlers. It’s also reflected in the food culture. Pure local mountain honey is a key element(原料) of many of the desserts. You can enjoy it when you come to ski. Beyond the bars, restaurants and a few small hotels, the community is also seeking to develop mountain biking.Where to eat?Chocolate and ice-cream are served at La Baita del Gelato, and they also serve the pizza, made with local cheese(€6.50).Where to stay?The modern three-star Hotel Luna Bianca is one of the most popular hotels in Folgaria, with big, clean rooms, and good service. The ski bus stops outside the front door. Half-board(住宿含早餐和正餐) doubles from €360 for three nights.The ski resort has 104km of runs with 22 lifts.

高考英语阅读强化训练带参考答案
高考英语阅读强化训练带参考答案高考英语阅读专项训练1：Vacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier?Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period. The study showed that the largest lift in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation lifted happiness for eight weeks.After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said the vacation was “neutral” or stressful.”Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness after the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University. The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who reported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Amongthose people, the vacation happiness effect lasted for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.One reason vacations dont increase happiness after the trip may have to do with the stress of returning to work. And for some travelers, the holiday itself was stressful. “In comments from people, the thing they mentioned most referred to disagreements with a travel partner or being ill,” Mr. Nawijn said.The study didnt find any relationship between the length of the vacation and overall happiness. Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and anticipating a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation, Mr. Nawijn said.51. Whats the best title for this passage?A. Post-vacation happinessB. Pre-vacation planningC. Influence to vacationsD. Research on vacations52. The study implies that _________.A. The longer the vacation is, the happier the travelers will be.B. The better you get your vacation planned, the more happiness you will get.C. It will make you happier if you divide a big vacation into small ones.D. None of the travelers were happier than those who had not been on holiday,53.

But new research suggests that women who regularly consume moderate amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for obesity (fatness).The findings, reported this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are based on a study of 19,220 United States women aged 30 to 40 who fall into the “normal weight” based on their body mass index. Researchers at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston tracked the womens drinking habits over 13 years. About 60 percent of the women were light or regular drinkers, while about 40 percent reported drinking no alcohol.Over the course of the study, 41 percent of the women became overweight. Although alcohol is packed with calories, the nondrinkers in the study actually gained more weight over time: nine pounds, on average, compared with an average gain of about three pounds among regular moderate drinkers. The risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol drinks a day, compared with nondrinkers.The findings are certain to be confusing for women who continue to receive conflicting messages about the health benefits and risks of alcohol. Although moderate drinking is associated with better heart health, regular drinking also increases breast cancer risk.The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesnt appear to hold true for men. A 2003 study of British men showed that regular drinkers gained more weight than nondrinkers. Studies suggest that drinking alcohol has different effects on eating habits among men and women. Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women aremore likely to substitute(替代)alcohol for food. In addition, there may be differences in how men and women metabolize(代谢)alcohol. Metabolic studies show that after men drink alcohol, they experience little if any metabolic change. But alcohol appears to slightly speed up a womans metabolism.The findings dont mean women should rush to drink alcohol to lose weight. Other research shows that once a person is already overweight, her alcohol metabolism is more efficient, and so an overweight woman may gain more weight from alcohol than a lean woman. The data do, however, suggest that for many women facing weight problems, the extra calories are probably not coming from alcoholic drinks.41. According to the study, which of the following regular drinker is less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers?A B C D42. That men regular drinkers gained more weight than women regular drinkers is due to the following except ______.A. Women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food.B. Men drink alcohol much faster than women.C. Men and women metabolize alcohol differently.D. Men have different effects on eating habits with women.43. The underlined word whereas may probably mean _______.A. so thatB. in order thatC. butD. and then44. What do the findings really mean in this passage?A. Women should try to drink alcohol to lose weight.B. To advise to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra caloriesC. The extra calories may not come from alcoholic drinks for many women..D. There may be differences in how men and women metabolize.45. What can a dieter probably do before reading this passage?A. Rush to drink alcohol to lose weightB. Add alcohol to his or her daily caloric intake.C. Face the weight problems alone.D. Try to stop drinking any alcohol or wine.阅读专项训练参考答案：41-45 ABCCD。
2020年高考英语阅读理解专题训练及解析(八)(8篇)
2020年高考英语阅读理解专题训练及解析（八）（8篇）（一）Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer? Here are four films you won't miss.Wonder WomanWonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.The MummyTom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag — but it's Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something ver y emotional to you.” On general release from 8 June.Baby DriverAnsel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a action-romantic-comedy from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn't just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapidfire combination of movement and sound. Released on 28 June in Canada and the US.A Man Called OveThis film has become one of Sweden's most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his neighbors.

阅读强化训练(八)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux(胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal(食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux don’t always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term.What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked：dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients’evening meals has become later and later. Dinner—already pushed back by longer work hours—is often further, delayed(推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise.In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine(常规) included a 9 p．m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed.She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you，”she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.”Then she added, “You know, we’re the reason that it’s not so easy to get 6 p．m. reservation(预约) at the good restaurants anymore.”To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p．m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。
