2019-2020年高考英语 阅读微技能训练 篇章结构题(2)
2019-2020年高考英语阅读微技能训练篇章结构题(2)A mon enough remark is that speed reading takes the joy out of reading. However, is this entirely fair? To answer this, we need to look at some of the reasons why we need speed reading.It should always be in your mind that speed reading is a skill. Actually, it is adopted in certain situations and it's not always necessarily a skill you need to apply every time you read something.An example, if you are in bed reading the latest novel, it is unlikely that you are going to read fast. The reason： first, you have spent money on it； second, because the atmosphere in which to read is one of relaxation and taking things easy. If we now change the scene to one where we are reading the latest financial report from a pany, even if we are doing this in bed, the environment has changed. The need and reason why we read in these two scenes is not the same. In the former we relax in fort. In the latter we are in a professional way. Clearly in the latter, where we want to be done with the reading and off to sleep, we can adapt our speed reading skills and in the former we may choose not to. In other words, speed reading skill is a “horses for courses”skill. Apply them at times when you need to read something really fast, but not when you don't need to.Furthermore, as your retention(记忆) rates are usually better with speed reading, it is often a good idea that you speed reading at times when you have a special need to understand and retain the information. It is far more likely that understanding and retaining the information in the financial report is go-ing to be more beneficial to you, so use your speed reading skills at this time so that you can increase your chances of understanding and retaining.As you can see then, having the ability to be able to speed reading will al-low you the choice of reading faster, or slower. It's about having choices.1.What does “horses for courses” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Changing behavior and attitudes towards reading.B. Applying speed reading according to the situation.C.

However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole world of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a well-known scientist. While schooling tries something that can be predicted, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (不可或缺的) part of one's life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at about the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their munities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.10.What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt education to go toschool”?A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B. People are engaged in education the whole life.C. Children go to school just to make trouble.D. Schooling is not educationally beneficial.11.The phrase “For example” in the last paragraph introduces a sentence thatgives examples of______.A. the slices of reality that are to be learnedB. the result of schoolingC. limitations of classroom teachingD. the similarities of all schools12.Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C. Education involves many years of petence training.D. Going to school is only part of one's education.13.The passage is written in the way of_________.A. contrasting the meaning of two related wordsB. giving examples of different kinds of educationC. listing and discussing several educational problemsD. providing facts to support an argument(D)Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, no, “shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar's claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hit-ting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar's back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.14.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?A. To get ready to fight.B. To frighten it away.C. To protect the boy.D. To cool down.15.What do we know about cougars?A. They are afraid of noises.B. They hesitate before they hit.C. They are bigger than we think.D. They like to attack running people.16.How did Jeb try to hold the cougar's attention?A. By keeping shouting and hitting.B. By making a wall out of his arms.C. By throwing himself on the cougar.D. By swinging his fists at the cougar's eyes.17.Which of the following happened first?A. The cougar jumped from the rock.B. Tom struggled free of his father.C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.D. Jeb held Tom across his body.(E)Miguel's co-workers don't quite understand him. One day he's smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next day, he's cross, getting angry over minor things, especially when asked to improve one of his designs.Identifying your personality characteristics is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you find someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To bee self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.What are the characteristics that people pliment(恭维) on you? Are you “dependable”, “responsible”, or “solid”? Pay attention to the pliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. You can use these characteristics to create an even better image.People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't enter the equation. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In being self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful； but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.18.The author mentions Miguel in order________.A. to show the importance of personalityB. to introduce the topic of the passageC. to tell us that Miguel is a changeable personD. to give us an example of multiple personality19.The purpose for writing this passage is to_______.A. help you to get along well with othersB. give you advice on how to be happyC. help you to get rid of our bad behaviorsD. help you to develop a good personality20. You should be self-aware because________.A. it may help you on the way to successB. it is a matter of failure or successC. it will surely make you happy and successfulD. it helps you to create a better image21.What may be talked about after this passage?A. Detailed steps of changing your behaviors.B. Why it is important to improve yourself.C. Why it is hard to change your personality.D. Tips on how to get along well with others.(F) A new phone eraCHINA was predicted to bee the world’s top smartphone market by the end of xx, overtaking the US, according to forbes. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Just take a look around the next time you’re on the subway or riding the bus: It seems that just about everyone these days is busily tapping away on their phones, playing games and sending e-mails.For technology panies, smartphones are the biggest business around. Apple’s iPhone is now worth more than some of the largest panies in the world, including Microsoft. But it’s not just the corporations making the money. The smartphone boom has provided opportunities for people to make and sell their own apps.Nick D’Aloisio, just 17 y ears old, hit the news headlines in November for making a brand new app for reading news, called Summly, which cleverly uses equations (方程式) to turn stories into short summaries. It shot up to number nine in the charts just two hours after its release in t he US. But he’s not the only young person seizing this opportunity.So where will smartphones go next? A lot of new ideas have been proposed. Google, for example, has recently shown off a type of smartphone you can actually wear like a pair of glasses. If successful, this new product promises to pave a new future for municating. However, there are others who argue that smartphone makers have reached a limit in revolutionary ideas. Either way, there’s no sure way of predicting the future. After all, who can tell when a groundbreaking (开创性的) idea might hit them?But perhaps there are bigger questions than this.“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction,” Albert Einstein once said. “The world will have a generation of idiots.”This statement is beginning to ring true. If our grandparents had been told that in the year xx everyone would walk around looking at puters in their hands, would they have believed it?In an ever-connected world of social networks, have we actually bee unsociable? Is the fascination turning into a dangerous addiction? There are certainly positive and negative aspects of the smartphone culture. We hope you enjoy this exploration into some of them.21. With the example of Nick D’Aloisio, the author intends to tell us that _____.A. the new app for reading news has been well received since its releaseB. the smartphone boom has inspired many people to make apps and succeedC. there is an increasing demand for news reading with the popularity ofsmartphonesD. many corporations and people earn money by making and selling apps forsmartphones22. What is one of the bigger questions facing us in the era of smartphones accordingto the last two paragraphs?A. Overuse of technology.B. The limit in revolutionary ideas.C. The loss of human interaction.D. Trouble with new ways ofmunication.23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the article?。

[Example 1]Animals can move from place to place，but plants cannot.When an animal is under attack，it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away，and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example，the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.Some plants，such as the oak tree，have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material；eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar bites a tobacco leaf，the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China，for instance，has prickly leaves，and each prickle contains poisonous venom.A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.1. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals_____________.A. are not tall enoughB. like the lower leaves onlyC. are not clever enoughD. can get the lower leaves easily2. To defend themselves，oak trees use___________.A. chemical meansB. physical meansC. bitter chemicalsD. sandy materials3. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?A. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.B. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.C. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.4. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Plants and AnimalsB. How Plants Defend ThemselvesC. Attacks and DefensesD.

高考英语阅读理解50篇（含答案）（高质量的专项训练题，值得下载学习）阅读理解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 much-needed 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 and 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 h is eye and warmth in 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 their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, 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 he ball to the first baseman and Shay wouldhave 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, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyo ne should, “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 third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran t o 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 t won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece 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!( ) 1.

高考英语阅读理解50篇（含答案）阅读理解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 much-needed 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 and 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 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 their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, 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 he 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, Theaudience 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, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone should, “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 third baseman’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 shout ed, “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 t won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece 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!( ) 1. 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 heistingB. 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( ) 2. 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. fell forced to give Shay another chance( ) 3.

演漏市慢寨学校高考英语 阅读微技能训练 观点态题(2)
漫滴州演漏市慢寨学校阅读微技能训练1—观点态度题(2) 巩固练习AFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled — to $1.01 per pack —smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys —13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.1. The text is mainly about ______.A. the effect of tobacco tax increaseB. the price of cigarettesC. the rate of teen smokingD. the differences in tobacco tax rate2. The underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.A. benefitB. freeC. discourageD. remove3. Rogers' attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of ______.A. doubtB. sympathyC. unconcernD. tolerance4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Adults will depend more on their families.B. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.BAll too often, a choice that seems sustainable (可持续的) turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol (乙醇) for fuel from corn . Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that's not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land — including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil — into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit fromburning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete lift-cycle analysis of its environmental (环境的) costs. Even then, technology and public policy keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living sustainable requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.5. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.A. the forest lossB. burning ethanolC. climate changeD. the energy benefit6.The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is ______.A. uselessB. ImpracticalC. AcceptableD. admirable7.What does the author mainly discuss in the text?A. Technology.B. Environmental protection.C. Ethanol energy.D. Sustainability.CIt was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I'm going to college, butI need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘You should open a sandwich shop.'”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1 000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1 000.But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convin ced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.'” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners' learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver thechecks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.8.Which of the following is true of Buck?A. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.B. He was a professor of business administration.C. He put money into the sandwich business.D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca.9.What can we learn about their first shop?A. It stood at an unfavorable place.B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.C. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.D. It made no profits due to poor management.10.What contributes most to their success according to the author?A. Learning by trial and error.B. Making friends withsuppliers.C. Finding a good partner.D. Opening chain stores.DBlind imitation（模仿）is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable．In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook, I used recipes （菜谱）and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them．In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously（下意识地）hold poor role models．If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others．In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen, their personal lives maybe disastrous．If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve．Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on．11．Imitation proves useful when you________.A．know you are unique B．lose the balance of lifeC．begin to learn something new D．get tired of routine practice 12．To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________．A．forget daily fear and pain B．choose the right exampleC．ask others for decisions D．stay away from stars13．According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are_________.

2019年高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(名师精选全国真题+详细解析答案，值得下载打印练习)AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 —but nobody wanted to do it professionally.The steam powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%.Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim — were held up as moral touchstones.Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top？For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass.Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901；today a casual reader might be able to name a half dozen of them.It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life.It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress.But it’s a lso that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center.No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer.But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。
高考英语 阅读微技能训练 文化类
阅读微技能训练12—文化类[校园类Example]Does your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line? Here are some examples of bad behaviour:• Pl aying truant (missing school without permission from parents).• Stealing, smoking, hi tting, swearing, running, kissing.• Cheating on exams.• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.• Not doing homework.• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.• Wearing unsuitable clothes.Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished.• Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.• Suspension: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.• Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was giv en 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.Freya says that repeated detentions disrupted her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. She refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.Many UK schools now give parents a home/school contract, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.1. What is the text’s main purpose?A. To introduce common types of bad behavior in UK schools.B. To show how UK schools reform their school rules.C. To inform readers of how UK schools discipline and punish students.D. To analyze why an increasing number of pupils break school rules in the UK.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Playing truant means using bad language.B. You can wear anything you want to school in the UK.C. If a child is suspended, they will miss schoolwork.D. Exclusion is the most serious punishment UK students can get at schools.3. What did Freya do when the school gave her detention?A. She forced her teachers to sign a letter agreeing to respect her civil rights.B. She used the law to argue for her civil right to an education.C. She asked her parents to talk her teachers into canceling the punishment.D. She argued that she hadn’t done anything wrong and refused to return to school.4. According to the text, the home/school contract many UK schools give parents is used to ______.A. help parents learn more about their child’s performance at schoolB. make parents reach an agreement with the school about school rulesC. remind parents that it’s their duty to teach their children school rulesD. ask parents to be more responsible and show more care to their children [语言类Example]Slang is very informal language which is often used by young people. It’s hard to keep up to date with it as new words and phrases appear and evolve. Living in a multicultural society has an effect on language, especially on the young, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have a big impact.A complete list of slang is difficult to make; by the time it was finished, the list would be out of date! However, here are a few examples:“Safe”, “sorted”, “sound”, “cool” or “wicked” all mean “That’s good” or “I un derstand”.Instead of using different tag questions like “… isn’t it?”, “… can’t you?” or “… don’t they?”, people use “innit”.For example, “He can dance really well, innit!” (= He can dance really well, can’t he?) or “They always say that, innit.” (= They always say that, don’t they? ).Instead of saying “very”, “really” or “completely” use “well”, e.g. “I’m well tired” or “You got it well wrong!”“Whatever” means“I don’t care”, e.g. A: “But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.” B: “Whatever. I’m going.”“He’s fine” or “he’s fit” both mean “He’s good-looking”. “Fine” and “fit” can describe a boy or a girl.Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in the north of England recently told its pupils to stop using slang words such as “hiya” (hello),“cheers” and “ta” (both mean “thank you”) if they wanted to get a place at university or a good job.When British people use language li ke this, it’s no surprise that some say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken around the world today is between non-native speakers of the language.So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics, then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t see much slang in your English examination, though.5. It’s hard to make a complete list of slang mainly because ______.A. many words are outdatedB. it is mostly used by young peopleC. modern slang changes very quicklyD. it comes from different cultural backgrounds6. Which of the following means “I understand” according to the text?A. Sorted.B. InnitC. Whatever.D. Cheers.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Slang prevents language from evolving.B. TV and music are channels through which slang is spread.C. “Fit” is only used to describe boys in the UK.D. Slang has found its way into formal written English.8. What can we conclude from the text?A. Knowing little slang doesn’t greatly affect one’s commun ication.B. Many UK schools are encouraging students to use slang.C. It is essential for English learners to study some British slang.D. More English is spoken by native speakers than by non-native speakers.[饮食类Example]Vegetarianism is increasing in the UK as more and more people choose not to eat meat and animal products. According to the Vegetarian Society, 2,000 people are giving up meat and “going veggie” in Britain every week. There’s even a “National Vegetarian Week” organised every year to encou rage people to try a meat-free lifestyle.Vegetarians and vegansA recent poll estimated that three million people (5.7 percent of the population) are vegetarian. Vegetarians (people who don’t eat meat) and vegans (people who don’t eat or use any animal pr oducts) are becoming increasingly common in the UK. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese.A healthy dietSo why are Britons cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worries about food safety (for example BSE or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health. According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet can help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure.Organic farmingAnother rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive (密集的) farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics. Organically f armed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.Organic foodAccording to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers’ markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables delivered to their homes every week. Many people buy organic produce in their local supermarket. Although it’s often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!For more fun activities to help you learn English:9. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To analyze the benefits of UK people’s meat-free lifestyle.B. To in troduce the changes in UK people’s diets.C. To encourage readers to go veggie like British people.D. To inform us of the popularity of organic food in Britain.10. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Vegetarians and vegans don’t eat or use any animal products.B. Every day there are about 200 people who quit eating meat in the UK.C. More than 10 percent of the UK population are now eating meat-free diets.D. Vegetarian and organic food is sold in many British supermarkets.11. What are the reasons behind the growing popularity of vegetarianism in the UK according to the text?a. Food safety.b. Health concerns.c. Compassion for animals.d. Ads for vegetarian food everywhere. e. Worries about the environment.f. Influence from peers and celebrities.A. a, b, c, eB. b, c, d, eC. a, b, d, fD. a, c, e, f12. What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A. Organic farming is more environmentally friendly than intensive farming.B. Organic food is well received because of its relatively low price and good taste.C. Because it uses very few chemicals, pesticides or fertilisers, GM food is a popular choice.D. Over three quarters of British people have started to eat food that is completely organic.[体育类Example]On the morning of Super Bowl Sunday in February, I didn’t have to think about what to wear. It was smelly, shabby and way too small for me, but none of that mattered – it was my lucky NFL football jersey (运动衫), a black-and-gold No 36 Jerome Bettis shirt. My dad bought it for me when I was little. I would wear it every day that the Pittsburgh Steelers, my favorite NFL team, played a game. On this particular day, I couldn’t dream of breaking my habit.Sports superstitions (迷信) like mine are extremely common in the United States, because being a sports fan is a bit like practicing a religion. Just as religious people perform various rituals (仪式) to send love to their gods, sports fans’ routines send supportive energy to their favorite teams. All sports fans stubbornly believe that this helps their teams win.For years, my friends and I would watch the Steelers play football on the same TV, eating the same snacks, wearing the same clothes.We’d even do bizarre things. During crucial plays, we would each grab our left foot and be completely silent. We thought this gave our team favor with the “football gods”.That Sunday, back in 2009, the football gods smiled on us – while we each held onto our left foot, Santonio Holmes caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl.As I looked around at the fans celebrating in the Pittsburgh streets, I could see that they felt they had won the game themselves. And in a way, they had – their weird rituals had worked.None of them asked me to change into a better-smelling shirt.13. What is the purpose of the text?A. To describe his enthusiasm for football.B. To show why sports fans are superstitious in the US.C. To introduce some common sports superstitions in the US.D. To tell the connection between sports superstitions with religions.14. What do the underlined words “my habit” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Watching his favorite NFL team play football.B. Performing various religious rituals.C. Wearing the same jersey to cheer for the Steelers.D. Playing football with his friends in the same clothes.15. The underlined word “bizarre” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. strangeB. shamefulC. powerfulD. inappropriate16. What can we conclude from the text?A. In the US, some sports fans are as loyal and faithful as religious people.B. Several rituals sports fans do in the US are the same ones used in major religions.C. The author’s smelly jersey dissatisfied his friends who watched games with him.D. It is regarded as impolite to grab one’s left foot while watching football games.[文学影视类Example]It is impossible to spot on Google Maps, but Downton Abbey is probably the most famous country house in England. It is the fictional setting for the hit British TV show of the same name, which began airing on CCTV on April 23.The show follows the ins and outs of the family and servants living at Downton Abbey. It is set at the beginning of the 20th century, so the men wear three-piece suits and the women wear elaborate (精致的) long dresses in a variety of styles. But while the lives of the aristocratic (贵族的) Crawley family, who live at Downton Abbey, are completely different from our own modern-day experiences, there is still much on the show for us to relate to.We can definitely relate to the central love story between Mary, the oldest daughter of the Crawley family, and her cousin, the charming but sincere Mathew Crawley. Many viewers have found themselves caught up in their struggles.Liz Winstead, reporter with The Guardian, believes the likeable characters contribute a lot to the success of the TV drama. As she puts it: “It is a sign of wonderful writing and acting if you can make the mundane (世俗的) existence of the privileged class riveting…”Besides the characters, there is much we can learn from the Crawleys. As Zhao Hui, 16, a Senior 2 student at Qingdao No 39 Middle School in Shandong province, points out, you never know when the exemplary table-manners of the characters might become useful. “This TV drama displays exactly what grace and elegance mean. The proper etiquette that appears in the show still applies in today’s formal dining. I actually observe how they use their knives and forks and even how their napkins are folded.”But don’t think this is one of those traditional period pieces, such as Pride and Prejudice, that only focuses on the lives of the family. The show’s writer,Julian Fellowes, makes sure to balance the glitzy (浮华的) lives of the wealthy with the more modest lives of those in the servants’ quarter. This gives a more complete view of events in a house like Downton Abbey and is something that appeals to audiences nowadays.The broad spectrum (范围) of real and relatable characters is the main reason for Downton Abbey’s worldwide success. If you haven’t yet gotten to know them, *tune in to the next episode (一集) on CCTV!17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce the history of Downton Abbey.B. To describe what the hit British TV show is about.C. To promote Downton Abbey among tourists.D. To analyze why the TV show appeals to viewers.18. The und erlined word “riveting” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fascinatingB. peacefulC. practicalD. controversial19. What is the main reason for the TV drama’s huge success according to the text?A. The touching love story.B. The relatable characters.C. The elegant table manners used on the show.D. The glitzy lives depicted on the show.20. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the TV drama according to the text?A. It is set at Downton Abbey at the end of 20th century.B. It focuses only on the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family.C. The lives of the Crawley family have much in common with ours today.D. Viewers can learn proper etiquette for formal dining by watching the show. II. Practice(A)What is the number one favourite pet in the UK? If you think the answer is “dogs” – you are wrong. There are 8.6 million cats and 8.3 million dogs in Britain according to recent figures. But experts predict that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.Dogs as accessoriesWe like to spend time with our pets. The Queen is famous for her corgis and is often photographed with them. Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme – a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants. Chihuahuas are especially popular as “handbag dogs” because they are so small.Dog holidaysPeople are also giving their pets holidays. Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests. What about owners who go abroad? They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away. Some even provide their canine guestswith a TV.Dogs are for lifeThe British charity, Dogs Trust, finds homes for thousands of lost and abandoned dogs every year. Their famous slogan “A dog is for life and not just for Christmas” was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility of owning a dog. Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys.Dogs on TVVictoria Sitwell is the host of the popu lar TV programme called “It’s me or the dog”. In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets’ bad behaviour. She tries to find solutions to problems such as a Dalmatian (斑点狗) who thinks he owns the house and won’t let the family sit on the sofa, dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog who uses the owner’s bed as a toilet.

Dogs Trust is an organization set up to ______.A. encourage people to give dogs as giftsB. seek out loving homes for abandoned dogsC. teach people how to win trust of their dog petsD. give advice to people whose dogs are behaving badly at home(B)If you’re reading this, then you’re probably studying English. Maybe you speaka couple of other languages too. But what are the British like when it comes to learning languages?According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are officially the worst language learners in Europe –62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from their own! While 38 percent of Britons speak at least one foreign language, only 18 percent speak two.The European Union data showed that 56 percent speak at least one foreign language and 28 percent speak at least two. Moreover, 51 percent of EU citizens can have a conversation in English.Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language at the age of 11 and many give up completely at 14. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? Research suggests that students think that it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.The government is now looking at different ways to improve language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign lan guages from the age of five. Another plan is to give school children more choice and expand the range of languages taught to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Gareth from Wales says, “I am learning Chin ese, and find it fun.” Another student, Thomas from London, says, “Just saying that I learn Mandarin impresses people. Even having a very basic level gives you an advantage.” Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is that China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.”It may be an ambitious task to change the Britons’ attitude to learning languages, but the government is determined to try!5. What did the survey published by the European Commission reveal?A. English has become the most widely spoken language among EU member states.B. The Britons have less talent for language learning than other EU citizens.C. UK children are less likely to learn foreign languages than children in almost any other EU state.D. More than half of EU citizens have a command of at least two foreign languages.6. In Britain, many teenagers stop learning a foreign language halfway because ______.A. it’s less useful to them than other subjectsB. they are burdened with too much schoolworkC. they think there is no need to learn oneD. they find second language study less rewarding than other subjects7. According to the text, English school children are likely to ______ in the near future.A. start to learn a foreign language from the age of sixB. have access to a wider range of foreign languagesC. be required to master at least one foreign languageD. take a greater interest in learning Chinese than any other foreign language8. With Richard Cairns’ remarks in the second-to-last paragraph, the author intends to show that ______.A. it is fun and cool to learn MandarinB. learning Mandarin will help the UK compete with ChinaC. learning Mandarin could help UK students do better in the new globalized worldD. China is likely to be a popular destination for UK students in the future (C)While tofu is a household name in Asia, it has still not been completely accepted into the Western kitchen. When it arrived in the West, tofu found itself sitting alone in the food playground, ignored by the other kids. And when tofu did make friends, it was only with the open-minded, peace-loving vegetarians sometimes referred to as “hippies”.Why is it that such a staple (主要的) ingredient in the East has been subject to such discrimination in the West? Well, tofu quite literally (简直) missed the boat. Tofu originated in China some 2,000 years ago. But when the Europeans first a rrived in China they ignored it. While rice was embraced (接受) with open arms and brought home to popular acclaim (称赞), tofu followed later and with much less success. Growing up in Australia I only had a vague notion of what tofu was. It was just last year, when I lived in the Dutch town of Maastricht, that we were really introduced. In that town, lots of students choose to live in “squats” – old run-down factories rented out for very cheap prices. One of these squats holds a “Vegan Dinner” every Monday. In the dishes served there, tofu was a stap le and I found that I quite liked it!Slowly but surely tofu is becoming accepted into mainstream Western cooking circles. In March, the singer Justin Timberlake dressed up in a tofu suit for a sketch (短剧) on NBC’s show Saturday Night Live to promote the silky food. And notable UK food experts such as Nigel Slater and Fuchsia Dunlop are singing tofu’s praises as well. As Slater writes in an ar ticle published in The Guardian, “I reckon (认为) the Chinese know what they are talking about and I must give their beloved dou-fu (yet) another chance”. He found that when cooked with chilli, garlic and ginger, tofu was a very welcome guest at his dinner party!9. When tofu was introduced to the West, it ______.A. was not accepted, just like riceB. was well-received mostly by hippiesC. was difficult to find things to cook with itD. was viewed as a toy instead of food10. The phrase “missed the boat” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. failed to take advantage of an opportunityB. was in the same situationC. experienced a big changeD. drew much attention11. The first time the author tasted tofu in Maastricht, she ______.A. had already eaten it in AustraliaB. developed a love for itC. felt it was not her cup of teaD. found that she had expected too much from it12. By quoting Slater in the last paragraph, the author intends to show ______.A. it is beneficial to eat tofu now and thenB. a new creative way to cook tofu has been praisedC. tofu is becoming a staple at Western dinner partiesD. tofu is becoming popular in the West(D)Modern graffiti (涂鸦) began in big cities in the United States in the 1970s. In New York, young people wrote their names or “tags (个人标志)” in pen on walls around the city.One of the first “taggers” was a teenager called Demetriu s. His tag was TAKI 183. He wrote his tag on walls and in stations in New York. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their tags too. Soon, there were tags on walls, buses and trains all over New York.Then, some teenagers started writing their tags with aerosol (喷雾的) paint. Their tags were bigger and more colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s.In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started painting pictures. Some were about politics; other artists wanted to make cities beautiful and pai nted big, colourful pictures.In some countries, writing or painting on walls is a crime. Sometimes, graffiti artists have problems with the police. In other countries, artists can draw and paint in certain places.In Taiwan, there are “graffiti zones” where artists can paint. In São Paulo in Brazil, some tourists visit the city just to see the street art! In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Lots of people come to watch the artists paint all the buildings in a street.Some street artists have become famous. Os Gemeos, twin brothers from Brazil, havepainted big, colourful pictures of people on buildings and even a castle in Scotland! Blek le rat, from Paris, is famous for pictures of homeless people. You can find the work of Faith 47, from Cape Town, on pavements, postboxes and buses.Many street artists now use the Internet to look at photos of street art from around the world. They communicate with other artists online and share ideas. Some are so famous you can see their pictures in art galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Graffiti has been popular with young people since it started in the 1970s in New York.B. Aerosol paint graffiti was created by graffiti artists in the 1990s and 2000s.C. In America, graffiti artists usually don’t paint pictures relevant to politics.D. The idea of painting graffiti on city walls is accepted in all countries.14. Where can you see a street art festival in August every year?A. In São Paulo.B. In Taiwan.C. In Bristol.D. In Cape Town.15. By listing three street artists in the second-to-last paragraph, the author intends to _____.A. compare their different painting stylesB. show how street artists can also be famous and successfulC. explain what about their graffiti made them famousD. present what kinds of graffiti are the best received(E)So many of the great stories turn on the desire for revenge (复仇). Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Christo, from 1844, is surely one of the most exciting of these tales.It recounts (详细叙述) the fall, imprisonment (监禁), escape, rise and revenge of Edmond Dantès. At the beginning we meet a young French sea captain who seems to have been granted (给予) all the things life can grant. He is prosperous (成功的) and is set to marry the beautiful Mercédès.But Dantès’ fortune proves to be his undoing. There are those who envy his success. Danglars hates that Dantès is a success as a captain; Mondego loves Mercédès, making him hate his rival; and Caderousse resents (怨恨) Dantès for getting the luck in life he feels he has been denied.The men have Dantès arrested for treason (叛国). He is found guilty and imprisoned for life. In jail, he meets a priest, Faria, who pa sses on his education to Dantès. Faria also tells him of a fortunate event on the island of Monte Christo; when the priest dies, Dantès seizes the chance to escape. He makes his way to the island to claim the money.Free, wealthy and now unrecognizable to most, Dantès is well placed to exact (施。

2019-2020年高考英语 阅读微技能训练 篇章结构题(2)
2019-2020年高考英语阅读微技能训练篇章结构题(2)A mon enough remark is that speed reading takes the joy out of reading. However, is this entirely fair? To answer this, we need to look at some of the reasons why we need speed reading.It should always be in your mind that speed reading is a skill. Actually, it is adopted in certain situations and it's not always necessarily a skill you need to apply every time you read something.An example, if you are in bed reading the latest novel, it is unlikely that you are going to read fast. The reason： first, you have spent money on it； second, because the atmosphere in which to read is one of relaxation and taking things easy. If we now change the scene to one where we are reading the latest financial report from a pany, even if we are doing this in bed, the environment has changed. The need and reason why we read in these two scenes is not the same. In the former we relax in fort. In the latter we are in a professional way. Clearly in the latter, where we want to be done with the reading and off to sleep, we can adapt our speed reading skills and in the former we may choose not to. In other words, speed reading skill is a “horses for courses”skill. Apply them at times when you need to read something really fast, but not when you don't need to.Furthermore, as your retention(记忆) rates are usually better with speed reading, it is often a good idea that you speed reading at times when you have a special need to understand and retain the information. It is far more likely that understanding and retaining the information in the financial report is go-ing to be more beneficial to you, so use your speed reading skills at this time so that you can increase your chances of understanding and retaining.As you can see then, having the ability to be able to speed reading will al-low you the choice of reading faster, or slower. It's about having choices.1.What does “horses for courses” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Changing behavior and attitudes towards reading.B. Applying speed reading according to the situation.C. Using advanced skills in reading difficult materials.D. Reading attentively without being interrupted.2.In paragraph 3, how does the author try to make readers accept his opinion?A. By using figures.B. By telling stories.C. By setting up examples.D. By asking questions.3.What idea is presented in Paragraph 4 ？A. Speed reading is a special need in increasing reading chances.B. Readers will remember more information with speed reading.C. Reading more financial reports is more beneficial to readers.D. Retention rates are usually better when reading novels.4.The article is written to________.A. argue that speed reading is readers' choiceB. present the characteristics of speed readingC. persuade readers to do speed readingD. show how to do speed readingWe can offer you a place at one of the best universities in Britain.

However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole world of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a well-known scientist. While schooling tries something that can be predicted, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (不可或缺的) part of one's life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at about the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their munities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.9.What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt education to go toschool”?A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B. People are engaged in education the whole life.C. Children go to school just to make trouble.D. Schooling is not educationally beneficial.10.The phrase “For example” in the last paragraph introduces a sentence thatgives examples of______.A. the slices of reality that are to be learnedB. the result of schoolingC. limitations of classroom teachingD. the similarities of all schools11.Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C. Education involves many years of petence training.D. Going to school is only part of one's education.12.The passage is written in the way of_________.A. contrasting the meaning of two related wordsB. giving examples of different kinds of educationC. listing and discussing several educational problemsD. providing facts to support an argument(D)Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, no, “shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar's claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hit-ting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar's back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.13.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?A. To get ready to fight.B. To frighten it away.C. To protect the boy.D. To cool down.14.What do we know about cougars?A. They are afraid of noises.B. They hesitate before they hit.C. They are bigger than we think.D. They like to attack running people.15.How did Jeb try to hold the cougar's attention?A. By keeping shouting and hitting.B. By making a wall out of his arms.C. By throwing himself on the cougar.D. By swinging his fists at the cougar's eyes.16.Which of the following happened first?A. The cougar jumped from the rock.B. Tom struggled free of his father.C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.D. Jeb held Tom across his body.(E)Miguel's co-workers don't quite understand him. One day he's smiling and friendly, a real team player. The next day, he's cross, getting angry over minor things, especially when asked to improve one of his designs.Identifying your personality characteristics is the first step in developing a good attitude. Are you a positive, confident person or are you shy and reserved? Do you face problems, looking for solutions, or do you find someone to blame? Characteristics define you. They help you succeed, or they hold you back.Self-awareness, or understanding the factors that make up your personality, is an important step towards happiness, and happiness is the key characteristic of a good attitude. To bee self-aware is to be aware of both your good and bad characteristics.What are the characteristics that people pliment(恭维) on you? Are you “dependable”, “responsible”, or “solid”? Pay attention to the pliment because they are a confirmation of your strongest characteristics. You can use these characteristics to create an even better image.People form opinions about you. Whether they are right or wrong doesn't enter the equation. You, however, can change their opinions by demonstrating the personality characteristics and attitudes that match the way you want to be viewed. In being self-aware, understanding how others see you is an important step. This can be painful； but if you are brave enough to try it, it can be an excellent growth experience.Change is not easy, especially when it has to do with your behaviors. You should break the behavior change into small steps because small steps are easier to achieve and more likely to last. The change will be permanent if you want to change for yourself.17.The author mentions Miguel in order________.A. to show the importance of personalityB. to introduce the topic of the passageC. to tell us that Miguel is a changeable personD. to give us an example of multiple personality18.The purpose for writing this passage is to_______.A. help you to get along well with othersB. give you advice on how to be happyC. help you to get rid of our bad behaviorsD. help you to develop a good personality19. You should be self-aware because________.A. it may help you on the way to successB. it is a matter of failure or successC. it will surely make you happy and successfulD. it helps you to create a better image20.What may be talked about after this passage?A. Detailed steps of changing your behaviors.B. Why it is important to improve yourself.C. Why it is hard to change your personality.D. Tips on how to get along well with others.(F) A new phone eraCHINA was predicted to bee the world’s top smartphone market by the end of xx, overtaking the US, according to forbes. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Just take a look around t he next time you’re on the subway or riding the bus: It seems that just about everyone these days is busily tapping away on their phones, playing games and sending e-mails.For technology panies, smartphones are the biggest business around. Apple’s iPhone is now worth more than some of the largest panies in the world, including Microsoft. But it’s not just the corporations making the money. The smartphone boom has provided opportunities for people to make and sell their own apps.Nick D’Aloisio, just 17 yea rs old, hit the news headlines in November for making a brand new app for reading news, called Summly, which cleverly uses equations (方程式) to turn stories into short summaries. It shot up to number nine in the charts just two hours after its release in the US. But he’s not the only young person seizing this opportunity.So where will smartphones go next? A lot of new ideas have been proposed. Google, for example, has recently shown off a type of smartphone you can actually wear like a pair of glasses. If successful, this new product promises to pave a new future for municating. However, there are others who argue that smartphone makers have reached a limit in revolutionary ideas. Either way, there’s no sure way of predicting the future. After all, who can tell when a groundbreaking (开创性的) idea might hit them?But perhaps there are bigger questions than this.“I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction,” Albert Einstein once said. “The world will have a generation of idiots.”This statement is beginning to ring true. If our grandparents had been told that in the year xx everyone would walk around looking at puters in their hands, would they have believed it?In an ever-connected world of social networks, have we actually bee unsociable? Is the fascination turning into a dangerous addiction? There are certainly positive and negative aspects of the smartphone culture. We hope you enjoy this exploration into some of them.21. With the example of Nick D’Aloisio, the author intends to tell us t hat _____.A. the new app for reading news has been well received since its releaseB. the smartphone boom has inspired many people to make apps and succeedC. there is an increasing demand for news reading with the popularity ofsmartphonesD. many corporations and people earn money by making and selling apps forsmartphones22. What is one of the bigger questions facing us in the era of smartphones accordingto the last two paragraphs?A. Overuse of technology.B. The limit in revolutionary ideas.C. The loss of human interaction.D. Trouble with new ways ofmunication.23. Which of the following best shows the structure of the article?温馨提示：最好仔细阅读后才下载使用，万分感谢！。

阅读微技能训练11—故事类I. 故事类文章的特点[Example 1]There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.1.

Smiles brighten people up.[Example 2]Goldie's SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have givenher a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. 'I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.6. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A. Shocked.B. Sympathetic.C. Annoy ed.D. Upset.7.

The passage is organized in order of _________ .A. timeB. effectivenessC. importanceD. complexityII. PracticeAIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.〞She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,〞my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale ,pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape b ut missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whalesand tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day,Nearly four decades later ,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.1. The author says “I’m so glad I did .〞(in Para.2)because __________.A. be witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family2. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because__________.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction4.What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It’s necessary t o live in harmony with animalsD. It’s vital to protect the environmentBWhen I was growing up in Amer ica, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.

I come to New York tell him front of his boss.〞 And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.〞The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me.

In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upsi de down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists--- everyone --is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.10. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.11.

Who probably wrote the letter?A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A rep orter.D. A reader.13. The letter aims to remind editors that they should __A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters' professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudesDAndy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situ ation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.〞On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,〞he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.〞 Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,〞 laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!〞 But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.14. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?A. He was riding to school.B. He was listening to a strange sound.C. He was going fishing with his father.D. He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.15. Which of the following is NOT ment ioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?A.

He asked Mr. Nelson for help.B. He did himself under the water.C. He rushed into the Nelson house.D. He rode off in the opposite direction.17. Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?A. No pains, no gains.B. Once bitten, twice shy.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.EOnce there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass(巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.-two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. "You'll have to put it back, son," he said."Dad!" cried the boy. "There will be other fish," said his father. "Not as big as this one," cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.18. What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?A. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.B. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.19. From the text we know that the father _________.A. didn't love his sonB. always disagreed with his sonC. disliked the huge fishD. was firm and stubborn20. The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _______.A. they might catch a big fish thereB. his was taught a moral lesson thereC. it was a most popular fishing spotD. their children enjoyed fishing there21. What does the story imply?A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.B. An ethical decision is always easy to make.C. It's hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions.FJohn Blanchard w as studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interestednot in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin(空白处).

阅读微技能训练12—文化类[校园类Example]Does your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line? Here are some examples of bad behaviour:• Playing truant (missing school without permission from parents).• Stealing, smoking, hit ting, swearing, running, kissing.• Cheating on exams.• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.• Not doing homework.• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.• Wearing unsuitable clothes.Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished.• Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.• Suspension: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.• Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was give n 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.Freya says that repeated detentions disrupted her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. She refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.Many UK schools now give parents a home/school contract, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.1. What is the text’s m ain purpose?A. To introduce common types of bad behavior in UK schools.B. To show how UK schools reform their school rules.C. To inform readers of how UK schools discipline and punish students.D. To analyze why an increasing number of pupils break school rules in the UK.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Playing truant means using bad language.B. You can wear anything you want to school in the UK.C. If a child is suspended, they will miss schoolwork.D. Exclusion is the most serious punishment UK students can get at schools.3. What did Freya do when the school gave her detention?A. She forced her teachers to sign a letter agreeing to respect her civil rights.B. She used the law to argue for her civil right to an education.C. She asked her parents to talk her teachers into canceling the punishment.D. She argued that she hadn’t done anything wrong and refused to return to school.4. According to the text, the home/school contract many UK schools give parents is used to ______.A. help parents learn more about their child’s performance at schoolB. make parents reach an agreement with the school about school rulesC. remind parents that it’s their duty to teach their children school rulesD. ask parents to be more responsible and show more care to their children [语言类Example]Slang is very informal language which is often used by young people. It’s hard to keep up to date with it as new words and phrases appear and evolve. Living in a multicultural society has an effect on language, especially on the young, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have a big impact.A complete list of slang is difficult to make; by the time it was finished, the list would be out of date! However, here are a few examples:“Safe”, “sorted”, “sound”, “cool” or “wicked” all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.Instead of using different tag questions like “… isn’t it?”, “… can’t you?” or “… don’t they?”, people use “innit”.For example, “He can dance really well, innit!” (= He can dance really well, can’t he?) or “They always say that, innit.” (= They always say that, don’t they? ).Instead of saying “very”, “really” or “completely” use “well”, e.g. “I’m well tired” or “You got it well wrong!”“Whatever” means “I don’t care”, e.g. A: “But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.” B: “Whatever. I’m going.”“He’s fine” or “he’s fit” both mean “He’s good-looking”. “Fine” and “fit” can describe a boy or a girl.Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in the north of England recently told its pupils to stop using slang words such as “hiya” (hello), “cheers” and “ta” (both mean “thank you”) if they wanted to get a place at university or a good job.When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some say they can’t understand native speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken around the world today is between non-native speakers of the language.So, how important is it to understand these slang words and expressions? If you watch films or TV in English, read magazines in English, chat online in English or are interested in English song lyrics, then understanding slang can be very useful. You probably won’t se e much slang in your English examination, though.5. It’s hard to make a complete list of slang mainly because ______.A. many words are outdatedB. it is mostly used by young peopleC. modern slang changes very quicklyD. it comes from different cultural backgrounds6. Which of the following means “I understand” according to the text?A. Sorted.B. InnitC. Whatever.D. Cheers.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Slang prevents language from evolving.B. TV and music are channels through which slang is spread.C. “Fit” is only used to describe boys in the UK.D. Slang has found its way into formal written English.8. What can we conclude from the text?A. Knowing little slang doesn’t greatly affect one’s communica tion.B. Many UK schools are encouraging students to use slang.C. It is essential for English learners to study some British slang.D. More English is spoken by native speakers than by non-native speakers.[饮食类Example]Vegetarianism is increasing in the UK as more and more people choose not to eat meat and animal products. According to the Vegetarian Society, 2,000 people are giving up meat and “going veggie” in Britain every week. There’s even a “National Vegetarian Week” organised every year to encourage people to try a meat-free lifestyle.Vegetarians and vegansA recent poll estimated that three million people (5.7 percent of the population) are vegetarian. Vegetarians (people who don’t eat meat) and vegans (people who don’t eat or use any animal produc ts) are becoming increasingly common in the UK. Visit a British supermarket and you will see a wide range of vegetarian ingredients and prepared meals on the shelves, including vegetarian sausages and vegan cheese.A healthy dietSo why are Britons cutting out meat? Many are unhappy about the poor treatment of animals and the effects of meat and fish production on the environment. Worriesabout food safety (for example BSE or “mad cow disease”) also play a part. Others choose to change their eating habits to improve their general health. According to the Vegetarian Society, a meat-free diet can help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease, as well as obesity and high blood pressure.Organic farmingAnother rising trend is in how UK food is produced. Many people are rejecting GM (genetically modified) food and intensive (密集的) farming practices. They want their food to be organically produced. Organic farmers use very few or no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers and organic meat is produced without the use of drugs and antibiotics. Organically farmed animals also have more living space and more nutritious food.Organic foodAccording to the Soil Association, three out of every four UK households now buy some type of organic food. Some get organic meat, fruit and vegetables from farmers’ markets, where products are sold directly to the consumer. Others have a box of organic fruit and vegetables delivered to their homes every week. Many people buy organic produce in their local supermarket. Although it’s often more expensive, fans of organic food say it tastes much better!For more fun activities to help you learn English:9. What is the main purpose of the text?A.

It was smelly, shabby and way too small for me, but none of that mattered –it was my lucky NFL football jersey (运动衫), a black-and-gold No 36 Jerome Bettis shirt. My dad bought it for me when I was little. I would wear it every day that the Pittsburgh Steelers, my favorite NFL team, played a game. On this particular day, I couldn’t dream of breaking my habit.Sports superstitions (迷信) like mine are extremely common in the United States, because being a sports fan is a bit like practicing a religion. Just as religious people perform various rituals (仪式) to send love to their gods, sports fans’ routines send supportive energy to their favorite teams. All sports fans stubbornly believe that this helps their teams win.For years, my friends and I would watch the Steelers play football on the same TV, eating the same snacks, wearing the same clothes.We’d even do bizarre things. During crucial plays, we would each grab our left foot and be completely silent. We thought this gave our team favor with the “football gods”.That Sunday, back in 2009, the football gods smiled on us – while we each held onto our left foot, Santonio Holmes caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl.As I looked around at the fans celebrating in the Pittsburgh streets, I could see that they felt they had won the game themselves. And in a way, they had – their weird rituals had worked.None of them asked me to change into a better-smelling shirt.13. What is the purpose of the text?A. To describe his enthusiasm for football.B. To show why sports fans are superstitious in the US.C. To introduce some common sports superstitions in the US.D. To tell the connection between sports superstitions with religions.14. What do the underlined words “my habit” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Watching his favorite NFL team play football.B. Performing various religious rituals.C.

The underlined word “bizarre” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. strangeB. shamefulC. powerfulD. inappropriate16. What can we conclude from the text?A. In the US, some sports fans are as loyal and faithful as religious people.B. Several rituals sports fans do in the US are the same ones used in major religions.C. The author’s smelly jersey dissatisfied his friends who watched games wi th him.D. It is regarded as impolite to grab one’s left foot while watching football games.[文学影视类Example]It is impossible to spot on Google Maps, but Downton Abbey is probably the most famous country house in England. It is the fictional setting for the hit British TV show of the same name, which began airing on CCTV on April 23.The show follows the ins and outs of the family and servants living at Downton Abbey. It is set at the beginning of the 20th century, so the men wear three-piece suits and the women wear elaborate (精致的) long dresses in a variety of styles. But while the lives of the aristocratic (贵族的) Crawley family, who live at Downton Abbey, are completely different from our own modern-day experiences, there is still much on the show for us to relate to.We can definitely relate to the central love story between Mary, the oldest daughter of the Crawley family, and her cousin, the charming but sincere Mathew Crawley. Many viewers have found themselves caught up in their struggles.Liz Winstead, reporter with The Guardian, believes the likeable characters contribute a lot to the success of the TV drama. As she puts it: “It is a sign of wonderful writing and acting if you can make the mundane (世俗的) existence of the privileged class riveting…”Besides the characters, there is much we can learn from the Crawleys. As Zhao Hui, 16, a Senior 2 student at Qingdao No 39 Middle School in Shandong province, points out, you never know when the exemplary table-manners of the characters might become useful. “This TV drama displays exactly what grace and elegance mean. The proper etiquette that appears in the show still applies in today’s formal dining. I actually observe how they use their knives and forks and even how their napkins are folded.”But don’t think this is one of those traditional period pieces, such as Pride and Prejudice, that only focuses on the lives of the family. The show’s writer, Julian Fellowes, makes sure to balance the glitzy (浮华的) lives of the wealthy with the more modest lives of those in the servants’ quarter. This gives a more complete view of events in a house like Downton Abbey and is something that appeals to audiences nowadays.The broad spectrum (范围) of real and relatable characters is the main reason for Downton Abbey’s worldwide success. If you haven’t yet gotten to know them, *tunein to the next episode (一集) on CCTV!17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce the history of Downton Abbey.B. To describe what the hit British TV show is about.C. To promote Downton Abbey among tourists.D. To analyze why the TV show appeals to viewers.18. The und erlined word “riveting” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fascinatingB. peacefulC. practicalD. controversial19. What is the main reason for the TV drama’s huge success according to the text?A. The touching love story.B. The relatable characters.C. The elegant table manners used on the show.D. The glitzy lives depicted on the show.20. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the TV drama according to the text?A. It is set at Downton Abbey at the end of 20th century.B. It focuses only on the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family.C. The lives of the Crawley family have much in common with ours today.D. Viewers can learn proper etiquette for formal dining by watching the show. II. Practice(A)What is the number one favourite pet in the UK? If you think the answer is “dogs” – you are wrong. There are 8.6 million cats and 8.3 million dogs in Britain according to recent figures. But experts predict that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.Dogs as accessoriesWe like to spend time with our pets. The Queen is famous for her corgis and is often photographed with them. Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme – a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants. Chihuahuas are especially popular as “handbag dogs” because they are so small.Dog holidaysPeople are also giving their pets holidays. Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests. What about owners who go abroad? They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away. Some even provide their canine guests with a TV.Dogs are for lifeThe British charity, Dogs Trust, finds homes for thousands of lost and abandoned dogs every year. Their famous slogan “A dog is for life and not just for Christmas” was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility of owning a dog. Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys. Dogs on TVVictoria Sitwell is the host of the popula r TV programme called “It’s me or the dog”. In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets’ bad behaviour. She tries to find solutions to problems such as a Dalmatian (斑点狗) who thinks he owns the house and won’t let the family sit on the sofa, dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog who uses the owner’s bed as a toilet. Yuck!Fashion for dogsYou can shop online or on the high street for the latest in dog clothes and accessories. Specialist shops sell items such as dog boots, dog fancy dress costumes, dog coats, dog dresses and dog pants.1. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell what special roles dogs play in the UK.B. To show the popularity of dogs in the UK.C. To analyze how UK people’s love for dogs has changed.D. To inform about how dogs have influenced different aspects of UK society.2. The underlined word “accessories” in the sub-heading above Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. something that needs helpB. something for protectionC. something for companyD. something to get rid of loneliness3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. An increasing number of TV celebrities are raising dogs as pets in the UK.B. There are currently over a quarter of a million more dogs than cats in the UK.C. Many UK hotels now welcome dogs on holiday, with or without their owners.D. “It’s me or the dog” is a popular TV show about funny behaviors of dogs.4. Dogs Trust is an organization set up to ______.A. encourage people to give dogs as giftsB. seek out loving homes for abandoned dogsC. teach people how to win trust of their dog petsD. give advice to people whose dogs are behaving badly at home(B)If you’re reading this, then you’re probably studying English. Maybe you speak a couple of other languages too. But what are the British like when it comes to learning languages?According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are officially the worst language learners in Europe –62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from their own! While 38 percent of Britons speak at least one foreign language, only 18 percent speak two.The European Union data showed that 56 percent speak at least one foreign language and 28 percent speak at least two. Moreover, 51 percent of EU citizens can have a conversation in English.Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language at the age of 11 and many give up completely at 14. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? Research suggests that students think that it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.The government is now looking at different ways to improve language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. Another plan is to give school children more choice and expand the range of languages taught to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Gareth from Wales says, “I am learning Chines e, and find it fun.” Another student, Thomas from London, says, “Just saying that I learn Mandarin impresses people. Even having a very basic level gives you an advantage.” Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils are equipped for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is that China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.”It may be an ambitious task to change the Britons’ attitude to learning languages, but the government is determined to try!5. What did the survey published by the European Commission reveal?A. English has become the most widely spoken language among EU member states.B. The Britons have less talent for language learning than other EU citizens.C. UK children are less likely to learn foreign languages than children in almost any other EU state.D. More than half of EU citizens have a command of at least two foreign languages.6. In Britain, many teenagers stop learning a foreign language halfway because ______.A. it’s less useful to them than other subjectsB. they are burdened with too much schoolworkC. they think there is no need to learn oneD. they find second language study less rewarding than other subjects7. According to the text, English school children are likely to ______ in the near future.A. start to learn a foreign language from the age of sixB. have access to a wider range of foreign languagesC. be required to master at least one foreign languageD. take a greater interest in learning Chinese than any other foreign language8. With Richard Cairns’ remarks in the second-to-last paragraph, the author intends to show that ______.A. it is fun and cool to learn MandarinB. learning Mandarin will help the UK compete with ChinaC. learning Mandarin could help UK students do better in the new globalized worldD. China is likely to be a popular destination for UK students in the future (C)While tofu is a household name in Asia, it has still not been completely accepted into the Western kitchen. When it arrived in the West, tofu found itself sitting alone in the food playground, ignored by the other kids. And when tofu did make friends, it was only with the open-minded, peace-loving vegetarians sometimes referred to as “hippies”.Why is it that such a staple (主要的) ingredient in the East has been subject to such discrimination in the West? Well, tofu quite literally (简直) missed the boat. Tofu originated in China some 2,000 years ago. But when the Europeans first arrived in China they ignored it. While rice was embraced (接受) with open arms and brought home to popular acclaim (称赞), tofu followed later and with much less success. Growing up in Australia I only had a vague notion of what tofu was. It was just last year, when I lived in the Dutch town of Maastricht, that we were really introduced. In that town, lots of students choose to live in “squats” – old run-down factories rented out for very cheap prices. One of these squats holds a “Vegan Dinner” every Monday. In the dishes served there, tofu was a staple and I found that I quite liked it!Slowly but surely tofu is becoming accepted into mainstream Western cooking circles. In March, the singer Justin Timberlake dressed up in a tofu suit for a sketch (短剧) on NBC’s show Saturday Night Live to promote the silky food. And notable UK food experts such as Nigel Slater and Fuchsia Dunlop are singing tofu’s praises as well. As Slater writes in an ar ticle published in The Guardian, “I reckon (认为) the Chinese know what they are talking about and I must give their beloved dou-fu (yet) another chance”. He found that when cooked with chilli, garlic and ginger, tofu was a very welcome guest at his dinner party!9. When tofu was introduced to the West, it ______.A. was not accepted, just like riceB. was well-received mostly by hippiesC. was difficult to find things to cook with itD. was viewed as a toy instead of food10. The phrase “missed the boat” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A. failed to take advantage of an opportunityB. was in the same situationC. experienced a big changeD. drew much attention11. The first time the author tasted tofu in Maastricht, she ______.A. had already eaten it in AustraliaB. developed a love for itC. felt it was not her cup of teaD. found that she had expected too muchfrom it12. By quoting Slater in the last paragraph, the author intends to show ______.A. it is beneficial to eat tofu now and thenB. a new creative way to cook tofu has been praisedC. tofu is becoming a staple at Western dinner partiesD. tofu is becoming popular in the West(D)Modern graffiti (涂鸦) began in big cities in the United States in the 1970s. In New York, young people wrote their names or “tags (个人标志)” in pen on walls around the city.One of the first “taggers” was a teenager called Demetrius. His tag was TAKI 183. He wrote his tag on walls and in stations in New York. Other teenagers saw Demetrius’s tag and started writing their tags too. Soon, there were tags on walls, buses and trains all over New York.Then, some teenagers started writing their tags with aerosol (喷雾的) paint. Their tags were bigger and more colourful. Aerosol paint graffiti became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s.In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started painting pictures. Some were about politics; other artists wanted to make cities beautiful and painted big, colourful pictures.In some countries, writing or painting on walls is a crime. Sometimes, graffiti artists have problems with the police. In other countries, artists can draw and paint in certain places.In Taiwan, there are “graffiti zones” where artists can paint. In São Paulo in Brazil, some tourists visit the city just to see the street art! In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Lots of people come to watch the artists paint all the buildings in a street.Some street artists have become famous. Os Gemeos, twin brothers from Brazil, have painted big, colourful pictures of people on buildings and even a castle in Scotland! Blek le rat, from Paris, is famous for pictures of homeless people. You can find the work of Faith 47, from Cape Town, on pavements, postboxes and buses.Many street artists now use the Internet to look at photos of street art from around the world. They communicate with other artists online and share ideas. Some are so famous you can see their pictures in art galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Graffiti has been popular with young people since it started in the 1970s in New York.B. Aerosol paint graffiti was created by graffiti artists in the 1990s and 2000s.C. In America, graffiti artists usually don’t paint pictures relevant to politics.。
2019年高考英语阅读理解专项训练3篇及答案
2019年高考英语阅读理解专项练习(名师押题预测+实战训练，建议下载练习) 十三、A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. Whe n a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the confl icting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you wa nt to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show30. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.31. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re a dvised to _____A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidance【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】本文通过驯兽师驯狮子的时候把椅子放在狮子前面引起讨论，当我们人类面对很多选择时候，我们应该怎么做。
