AShanghai-More Shanghai people are renting cars to travel over the coming National Day holiday, Tom reported today. Most cars in large local car-rental companies such as Yongda, Anji and Dazhong are leased so far with the Buick Sport Utility Vehichle (SUV) in high demand.Santana and Jetta were previously the most popular car models rented by Shanghai people for travel, while the high-end Buick models have generated great interest among locals renting cars these years. However, the rent on a Buick GL or GS model is between 650 yuan and 750 yuan a day, nearly double those of the Santana and Jetta cars.Compared with Santana, Buick looks better, has greater capabilities and is safer and more comfortable, said a car leaser. “I don‟t mind paying a higher cost for a Buick to enjoy the holiday,” he said.SUV cars are very popular in the car renting market, according to some car rental firms.“All the 31 Buick GL8SUV cars were leased out several days ago,” said an employee with the Shanghai Yongda Car Rental Co.local people are more inclined (倾向于) to go travel with groups of friends, so SUV cars are a better choice, said an industry analyst (分析家). Moreover, SUV car are safer on rugged and rough roads, the analyst said.According to the data, most people rented cars for seven days; a less number rented them for two or three days.1. What‟s the best title for the passage ?A. How Shanghai People Spend Their HolidaysB. Why So Many Shanghai People Rented Cars for HolidaysC. More Shanghai Rent Cars for HolidaysD. Shanghai Rent SUV Instead of Santana and Jetta2. According to the passage we can see SUV is ________.A. the name of a car-rental companyB. the name of an expensive carC. the name of an ordinary carD. the place for the holiday3. At present for how much money can you rent a Santana or Jetta for a day ?A. Between 650 yuan and 750 yuan.B. Between 350 yuan and 380 yuan.C. About 450 yuan.D. Less than 300 yuan.4. Why do many people choose SUV cars for their holidays ?A. Because they are cheaper.B. Because they are convenient on rugged and rough roads.C. Only because they can run on bugged and tough roads.D. Because no Santana and Jetta can be rented now.BIn many ways, our society doesn‟t simply prepare for the kinds of lives that the elderly must lead. We have made medi cal advances that allow people to live longer than ever before, but we do not seem to know what to do with them after we have saved their lives. Too little allowance (津贴) is made for the person who is no longer earning a living, who can not walk long distances or drive a car, or who may have physical or mental disabilities that keep him from communicating with others. The institutional (慈善机构的) care we give our older people is a good reflection of the overall attitude of our society toward the aged.In the past few years, nursing homes have received wide attention as boring, meaningless places where old people often have little else to do but wait for the end of their lives. Elderly wards in mental hospitals are even worse. One of the mostshocking things abort nursing homes has been the unwillingness of people on the outside to show real concern for what happens in these institutions. Even people who are entrusting (委托) a parent to the care of a home rarely ask about the nurse-parent ratio (比率), about the kinds of creative facilities or physical treatment equipment available, or about the frequency of doctors‟ visits.And the government has provided federal money without enforcing high standards of care. In fact federal standards were lowered in 1974. Therefore, in some sense our concern for the aged seems to be moving backwards, not forwards. This picture is in striking contrast to the treatment of respectable patriarchs (男长者) and matriarchs (女长者) in many societies.1. What would be the most suitable title for this passage?A. Failure of Care for the ElderlyB. The ElderlyC. Institutional CareD. A National Shame2. We can conclude from this passage that the writer feels ____.A. nursing homes should be got rid ofB. a country that can help people live longer should also be able to care for them betterC. people have no thanks toward their parentsD. our society‟s institutions need to be reformed3. The writer believes that people who place a parent in a nursing home should ____.A. demand higher federal standardsB. consider the example set in other countriesC. be ashamed of not keeping the parents in their own homesD. investigate it first4. The writer complains ____.A. about the indifference of some people towards nursing homesB. about the shortage of equipment in nursing homeC. that nursing homes keep the aged from communicating with othersD. both A and BCSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The most simple things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves for the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.1. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the followingexcept _____.A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness2. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________.A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad3. What is the main idea of the last passage?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesickness.C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar with the new culture.DIn the U.S., people p refer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don‟t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don‟t kno w, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many peop le. If you can‟t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you‟re taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for t he evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.1. Which statement is true?A. American people like sitting with people they don‟t know.B. Tips shouldn‟t be given to the waiter or waitress.C. Orange juice is served before you orderD. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.2. What does the underlined word “doggie bag” mean in the article? I t means ______.A. a bag with a picture of a dog on itB. a bag used to carry dogsC. a small bag for taking the food left over home to enjoy it laterD. a small bag for taking the food left over home for dogs3.

高三英语限时训练一总分65分第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共7个小题:每小题2.5分,满分17.5分)AWhat do the random, scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’ papers mean? When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class, he will probably be criticized for daydreaming. But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.In an experiment conducted b y the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places. Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time, without paying attention to neatness, while the rest were given no such instructions. After the tape had finished, all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places. The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places, compared to only 5.8 by the non-doodlers.“If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream.” said study researcher, Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology, U niversity of Plymouth. “Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be enough tostop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”“In psychology, tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process. If that process is important for the main task, then performance will be weakened. But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.” said Andrade.Dan Ware, a social study teacher, used to consider doodling a distraction from learning, but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information. “In my first few years of teaching, I thought, ‘Well, this kid isn’t paying attention. He’s daydreaming.’ But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing, and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.” Ware said.1. What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?A. Some were asked to note down the information neatly.B. Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.C. Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.D. Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.2. Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?A. Doodling helps some people focus.B. Doodling makes a dull task interesting.C. Students who doodle perform poorly.D. Students who doodle lack concentration.3. What is the best title of the text?A. Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study SkillsB. Doodling Can Help Memory RecallC. A Wandering Mind Improves ProductivityD. Distractions Harm Academic PerformanceBShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: "You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I kn ow it’s not true."It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack ofself-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.4. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________. .A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people5. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic6. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it. B They feel it is not true.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.7. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.A. blocks our chances for a successful lifeB. helps us to live up to our full developmentC. enables us to understand ourselves betterD. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

阅读理解限时训练与解析A(5minutes)I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调)the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating (欺骗)themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(认真地)about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I trie d to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued(继续)to believe that I had cheated on the test.1. The story took place(发生)exactly ____ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone3. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam4. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .A. honestyB. sense of dutyC. seriousnessD. all of the above5. The boy knew everything ____ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the roomB(7minutes)Some kids start to drink alcohol (酒精) at a young age. They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor (酒精饮料)by using fake identification (伪造证件).Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist(抵抗)doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking, even when they are at a party. Try not to overreact or panic (惊慌) if the child tries alcohol. How you handle it can affect their attitude. It may be helpful to talk to other parents about setting up curfews (宵禁令) and rules about parties or other events.1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why some kids have an early start of drinking?A. They want to show their maturity (成熟) by drinking alcohol.B. Drinking alcohol is much cooler than taking drugs.C. They are affected by many other people around them.D. They can get liquor easily.2.According to the passage, what changes may happen to the kids who start drinking?A. Nothing serious will happen to them.B.

Teen education.C.Teen drinkingD. Parents’ worries.C(6minutes)Everyday we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat(闲谈)with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease(轻松)but the situation is somewhat(一点儿)different from that of anordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A.as loudly as possible B.in a low voiceC.loudly D.forcefullyually, when you speak to the class, the class is __________.A.noisy B.quiet C.having a rest D.serious3.The situation in the class is ________ that in your house.A.not very different from B.sometimes the same asC..sometimes not the same as D.not the same as4. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is _______. A.to show your ability B.to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heard D.to put the official at ease5.The main idea of this passage is ________.A.that we must use different ways at different situationsB.that we must speak loudlyC.that we must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the classD(6minutes)Computers are very important to modern life.Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life.It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet.There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers.The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food.Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating(交流).Others do not think that computers will replace(代替)our old ways.Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time.We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved.Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy.It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly.Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.1.Which is the main idea of this passage?A. People like going shoppingB. Reading books is importantC. Computers are importantD. Computer can be used to play games2.There will be no more books because________.A. There is no paper in the future.B. People don’t like reading books.C.

In that sense, he has always been a city resident," Mayor Takao Abe told reporters, according to the online edition of the local Kanagawa Shimbun newspaper."I hope (the residency certificate) will bring the museum closer to many people," he said.The certificate will give Doraemon's birthday as September 3, 2112, as well as listing his likes -- pastries(点心)-- and his dislikes -- mice.Doraemon was sent back in time from the 22nd century by a young boy who wanted to change his family's historical misfortune.His magic pocket provides an endless supply of fantastical small tools that help his young friend Nobita Nobi navigate the trials of everyday life.The character first appeared in manga strips(日本连环漫画)in 1969, making the transition to small and big screen over the following decades.Doraemon remains enormously popular in Japan, serving as an instantly recognisable cultural reference across generations.The cartoon series also has a large following in the rest of Asia, including in China and South Korea.【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.C【解析】语篇解读:为了庆祝来自未来的日本机器猫哆啦A梦负100岁的生日,机器猫出生城市的一位政府官员上周五告诉记者说,哆啦A梦将注册成为该市的正式居民。

you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin.The year2018marks pinyin's sixtieth birthday.In1958,Chinese linguist(语言学家)Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin.Before that,Chinese people used many other methods to denote(标注)the pronunciation of Chinese characters.In ancient China, people denoted Chinese characters using other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation.Some of the symbols are Chinese character strokes(笔画).For example,a vertical stroke(一竖)pronounced as“i”in pinyin.Some people in Taiwan still use this method.However,these methods are not as simple as pinyin.Because of pinyin,many illiterate(不识字的)people have learned how to read.We use pinyin to type Chinese characters into computers and phones.Pinyin has been useful in other ways,too.It helps to promote the use of Standard Chinese,or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects(方言)can still understand each other.Pinyin is not only popular in China.Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin.You might say“nihao”instead of “hello”to a foreign friend.The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津英语词典》)includes more than100Chinese words in pinyin,such as zhongguomeng for“Chinese dream”,and wanggou for“online shopping”.Pinyin is not only a language tool,but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world,Guangming Daily

because people can buy almost everything they need there.You are wondering how to shop on smartphones?Let me show you.If you live in the central part of the city,and you need to buy some fresh grapes from the east of the city,you can use your smartphone.To start with,all you need to do is download a shopping app(应用程序)and find a suitable store you like.Shopping on the smartphone has a lot of advantages,of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.People don't have to waste a lot of energy and time to go from one shop to another to choose things they like.This is especially good for the old,the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops by themselves.However,shopping on the smartphone also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that people can't see the goods or try them on by themselves.Sometimes,the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the smartphone.The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(登记的).They will never deliver(递送)anything to you after they get the money from you.Once you are cheated,you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain(投诉).()6.Smartphone shopping has become more and more popular in our life because______.A.we can take photos and send short messagesB.we can buy almost everything we needC.we can check e­mails and surf the InternetD.we can make phone calls and call a Didi Taxi()7.If you want to shop on smartphones,you should______at first.A.go to the storeB.find a suitable storeC.send e­mails to the shopD.download a shopping app()8.What does the underlined word“convenience”mean in Chinese?A.麻烦B.方便C.舒适D.交流()9.The number of disadvantages of shopping on smartphones is ______.A.oneB.twoC.threeD.four()10.What's the best title of this passage?A.Smartphone shopping.B.The usages of smartphone shopping.C.The advantages of smartphone shopping.D.The disadvantages of smartphone shopping.AHow winter weather influences the subway serviceWhen temperatures drop,and ice and snow fall on the tracks,know more service changes by:☆listening to your local traffic broadcasts☆visiting our website ☆signing up for email or text message warnings on our website☆following us on Twitter(NYCTSubwayScoop)☆calling our travel information line at 718-330-1234Our goal is to keep as many trains in service as possible and to keep you informed.Depending on how bad the weather is,here’s what you can expect:Service on these lines may run local on different parts of their routes:A,E,D,F,N,Q,2,3,4,5Service will change on these lines:G —Service between Court Square and 71st Street will stop for some time.7—Reduced service 11p.m.—1a.m.After 1a.m.normal late night service startsagain.S —*42nd Street train runs all night*Dyre Road trains go farther to 149th Street*Rockaway Park train goes farther to Euclid RoadExpect service on these weekday lines to end earlier than normal:B(take D or Q instead),V(take F instead),W(take N instead)Please allow for more travel time and listen for broadcasts.Thank you.2020年广东中考英语阅读理解限时训练(四)()11.People can know about subway service changes in winter through_____ ways.A.threeB.fouC.fiveD.six()12.The subway website will_____.A.send emails to some passengersB.keep all the underground trains in serviceC.follow the passengers around in the stationD.call the travel information line to know about the changes()13.What service changes there will be depends on_____.A.the weatherB.the seasonC.passengersD.the temperature()14.The service of_____lines will change if necessary.A.tenB.fourteenC.sixteenD.eighteen()15.When Line V ends earlier,passengers can take_____.A.Line7B.Line QC.Line5D.Line FBWould you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you,and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves?Although it might sound a little far from you,living in a“smart”city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built.One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a“tele-presence system(远程遥控系统)”allowing users to control the heating and locks,take part in video meetings,and receiveeducation,health care and government services.Around the city,escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them,and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.In fact,technology companies around the world such as IBM,Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.“About75%of the world’s population will live in cities by2050,so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.Making cities smarter is one way out,and I think this will in turn make cities greener,”said Dan Hill, head of a research company.()16.According to the text,living in a“smart”city_____.A.is not a green wayB.will be far from youC.will soon become trueD.is completely impossible()17.The underlined phrase“in turn”means_____in Chinese.A.反过来B.轮流C.依次地D.翻转()18._____offers the great mind to build Songdo.A.CiscoB.IBMC.SiemensD.Microsoft()19.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to_____.A.drive people out of citiesB.control the world’s populationC.develop his own companyD.solve the cities’coming problems()20.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Future EducationB.Smart Citiesernment ServicesD.Famous Companies【参考答案】训练一1-5 D A D B B 6-10 B C B A D 训练二1~5 D D A B B 6~10 D A B C C 训练三1~5C A B D C6~10B D B B A 训练四1-5 C A A C D 6-10 C A A D B。

现吨市安达阳光实验学校凤艺荣高复高三英语阅读理解限时训练(11)AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates(木箱)for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage(孤儿院)in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all, ” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.41. We know from the text that .A. the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB. the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC. the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his family was very heavyD. the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago42. From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was veryafterhearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. pitifulD. proud43. The underlined word “miraculous” (Paragraph 7) can be replaced by .A. practicalB. wonderfulC. necessaryD. importantBJeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Calme nt lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!45. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?A. She is miserable and unhappy.B. She is cheerful and humorous.C. She would like to live much younger.D. She feels she is goingto die very soon.46. We can owe her good health and long life to _______.A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise47. Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” inthe fourth paragraph?A. dealB. trickC. marchD. sport48. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyerevery year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.CAs computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (着迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14--year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to beacceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.49. We may infer from the first paragraph that .A. computer games have little to do with violence in real lifeB. Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its playsC. lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UKD. legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving50. Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because .A. violent movies are not so attractive to childrenB. the viewers can't take part in violent moviesC. violent movies are not popular with childrenD. children can win awards in violent games51. What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage?A. Further research on the harm of violent games.B. Further differences between violent game and nonviolent games.C. Ways to protect children from violent games.D. The result of more experimental studies.52. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Games and MurderB. Should Computer Games become lifelike?C. Legislation, effective or not?D. Violent Games and Nonviolent GamesDSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.Some experts tell us boundaries are hea lthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it? 53. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keepa secret” because ______.A. modern society has finally entered a much opened societyB. people leave privacy around when using modern technologyC. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairsD. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefitB. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secretC. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefitD. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit56. The best title for the passage could be _________?A. Is Privacy As Important As HealthB. What Can Be Done to Protect the PrivacyC. Does Privacy MatterD. Does Modern Technology Reveal PrivacyESome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels(分贝)measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.57. According to the passage, which of the following is increasinglydangerous to sea creatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of theice-breaking.58. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.D. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.59. We can know from the passage that many researchers think that thenoise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would _____.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.。

高中英语阅读理解定时训练一(满分50,每小题2.5分,限时45分钟)阅读理解第一节ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.2. As for the working environment, Tains prefers_________.A. working by herselfB. dealing with the publicC. competing against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?(6)Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” (4)suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服).4. What is the main idea of the text?A. Body movements change the way people think.B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings.C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance.D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes.5. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concern.B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.C. To summarize the whole passage.D. To give examples of body movements.6. Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers’________.A. insightsB. movementsC. attentionD. appearance7. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Academic.B. Humorous.C. Formal.D. Hopeful.CAs data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they (8)have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things likethe force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. (9)These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.(11)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straight forward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.8. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typing.C. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.9. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.D. Data security measures are guaranteed.10. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A. It’ll be environment-friendly.B. It’ll reach consumers soon.C. It’ll be made of plastics.D. It’ll help speed up typing.11. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebookC. A novel.D. A magazine.DThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid----(12)we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the w ater’s surface with its feet. (13)The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting” .But fortunately there is an alternative(可替换的选择):cornflour(玉米淀粉). (14)By adding enough of this common thickening agent(增稠剂) to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian”liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.(15)Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice.

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 16The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.17 so they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 18 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (驯养的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 19 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.20 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E.

CEDBF阅读专练一文章要点及题眼ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t.So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job —Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.2. As for the working environment, Tains prefers_________.A. working by herselfB. dealing with the publicC. competing against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?(6)Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,”(4)suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服).4. What is the main idea of the text?A. Body movements change the way people think.B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings.C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance.D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes.5. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concern.B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.C. To summarize the whole passage.D. To give examples of body movements.6. Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers’________.A. insightsB. movementsC. attentionD. appearance7. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Academic.B. Humorous.C. Formal.D. Hopeful.CAs data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they (8)have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. (9)These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and byextension,whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.(11)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straight forward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.8. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typing.C. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.9. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.D. Data security measures are guarantee d.10. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A. It’ll be environment-friendly.B. It’ll reach consumers soon.C. It’ll be made of plastics.D. It’ll help speed up typing.11. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebookC. A novel.D. A magazine.DThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid----(12)we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by r apidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. (13)The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate“hitting” .But fortunately there is an alternative(可替换的选择):cornflour(玉米淀粉). (14)By adding enough of this common thickening agent(增稠剂) to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.(15)Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink and take a shower afterward!12. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______.A. are not interested in itB. have biological limitationsC. have not invented proper toolsD. are afraid to make an attempt13. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?A. It is light enough to walk on water.B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C. It can run across water at a certain speed.D.

It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rulesrequire that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of theleg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such anattractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistantprofessor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon amo ng race walkers. But thesport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to becautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.4. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A.They must run long distances.B.They are qualified for the marathon.C.They have to follow special rules.D.They are good at swinging their legs.5. What advantage does race walking have over running?A.It’s more popular at the Olympics.B.It’s less challenging physically.C.It’s more effective in body building.D.It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.6. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A.Getting experts’ opinions.B.Having a medical checkup.C.Hiring an experienced coach.D.Doing regular exercises.7. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A.Skeptical. B.Objective.C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.CAn unconventional method for growing rice has been found to increase yields(产量) by 20 to 50 percent. Reports from China, India, Southeast Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the "system of rice intensification(集约化)"(SRI),which needs one-tenth as many seeds and aims to stimulate the root system of plants rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved seeds and fertilizers.The idea of using less to gain more is seen as an important innovation(革新) for adapting farming to climate change and a way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but traditional plant breeding and genetically modified techniques have failed to increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Norman Uphoff, professor of international agriculture at Cornell.The new way to grow rice needs only half as much water, and is proving most popular in water-stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph.D.researcher. "Rice growing in Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and warmer summers."“SRI is a great technique, not just from the water-savingperspective but because it offers better yields and soil conditions. Different studies, both at the experimental level and farmer-participative level, have shown that SRl improves yields with less water.” Shah adds.Some academic, the global seed industry and the international community once rejected reports of “fantastic” yields, accusingfarmers of falsifying(篡改)records and researchers of carelessness and "non-science". But more than 600 articles, checked by SRI Internationalat Cornell University, have shown benefits.Uphoff says, “Attitudes are changing.The original hostility(敌意)has gone." However, the early opposition has resulted in comparativelylittle scientific research being conducted into SRI and a slow understanding by funders.8. How does SRI increase the yields of rice?A.By sowing more seeds B.By using improved seeds.C.By improving its root system. D.By adopting special fertilizers. 9. Compared with the conventional method for growing rice, SRI.A.needs less water B.increases labor costsC.requires better soil conditions D.depends on genetically modified techniques10. What was the global seed industry's initial attitude toward reportson SRI?A.Curious B.Skeptical. C.Approving D.Uninterested. 11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.How to Increase YieldsB.People's Attitudes Towards SRIC.An Innovative Means of Growing RiceD.The Disadvantages of Conventional Plant Breeding二、完形填空A Florida man likes to shop at garage sales for old plaques(纪念匾)so he can reuse the wooden backs.

When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人),they always ask me,“How do you do that?” Honestly, my answerwill be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 32 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.33 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.34 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from aboring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seentheir faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 35 The methods are various, but they make sure it’s something enjoyable.I realized it’s actually how I learn. 36 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy perso n, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.A.How can those with little talent be fluent?B.But people are never happy with the reply.C.There’s no shortcut to learning languages for anyone.D.One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.E.That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it. F.When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks. G.Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.四、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.May 21st this year marks the first International Tea Day, which37 (name) by the United Nations on November 27th, 2019.

高三英语晚自习限时训练一、阅读理解AIcehouse and ice ticketAs early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During th e Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich.Ice containerThe most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks.Hiding food in the wellDuring the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope.Herbal drinksDuring the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body.1. What does “Jian” have the same function as?A.Container. B.Refrigerator. C.Clay. D.Copper.2. Which of the following is unavailable to common people?A.Ice tickets. B.Ice container. C.Hiding food in the well. D.Herbal drinks.3. What’s the common purpose of the above four ways?A.To strengthen the body. B.To keep food fresh.C.To escape the summer heat. D.To make cold drinks.BWorld’s First Hydrogen-Powered Train LineLast Wednesday, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometer trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains.Currently, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates carbon dioxide and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climatecrisis. That’s one reason why many countries are trying to find energy choices that pollute less.Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s also very common—74% of the universe is made of hydrogen atoms. Pure hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be. used to create electricity by combining it with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air around the train. The best part is that when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is water, which comes out as steam.There’s a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometers before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they are replacing.In many places, hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the hydrogen-powered trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen powered trains. Germany will replace up to 3,000 of its diesel trains with hydrogen- powered trains.;4. Why do people develop hydrogen train?A.To reduce noise.B.To cut pollution.C.To improve transport.D.To solve the energy problem.;5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A.Advantages of hydrogen.B.The process of chemical reaction.C.The unpolluted characteristic of hydrogen.D.The popularity of hydrogen.;6. What can we infer about the hydrogen train from paragraph 4?A.It travels 140 km on one refueling.B.It should be refueled twice a day.C.It goes faster than a normal train.D.It needs very few hydrogen stations.;7. What does the author think of the future of hydrogen trains?A.Uncertain. B.Worrying. C.Promising. D.Difficult.CIf you have a dog, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out dog behavior. Like us, dogs are complex creatures, and it can be hard to know what’s behind your dog’s actions.When you’re asking them to sit or giving them a treat, eye contact means that their attention is on you and that they’re ready to listen. But sometimes your pup will look at you aimlessly. There area few reasons why your dog might stare at you — even when you don’t call its name or do something to get its attention.In general, dogs use eye contact to gain information and understand what humans want them to do, says Philip Tedeschi, professor and researcher on the human-animal bond. “Dogs use eye contact as reassurance and understanding in very similar ways that humans do, to ascertain interpersonal connection and reaction. This helps us connect with them as well,” he says.Science confirms that dogs use eye contact to express love. How do you tell if a dog loves you? Well, if he stares at you, it’s a good sign! “Just like humans look into each other’s eyes to show love, so does your dog,” says Tedeschi. “In fact, one study showed that the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin (拥抱荷尔蒙催产素) increases in both humans and dogs when they exchange a loving look.”If the eye contact between a dog and a human is too long or too intense it might lead to discomfort in the dog — similar to the way two humans staring at each other for a longer period of time would make them uncomfortable, according to Tedeschi. So what do you do if your dog stares at you? Look back, but not for too long. Dogs get awkward, too!;8.

It can help you process what you’ve been through and assist you as you envisiona path forward.Why does a writing intervention work? 13 In fact, narrating the story of an ongoing anxiety “frees up” cognitive resources. When you write down the emotionsassociated with a traumatic experience, you may be changing the way it is organized in the brain. You are then able to detach from the emotion, making it easier for you to talk about and process the event.However, for most people, the thought of acknowledging emotions and admitting that there’s something wrong with us is difficult. This is because expressing emotions can bring up feelings of guilt and shame. 14 That is what sets journaling apart. This is between you and your journal —you don’t have to share it with anyone unless, of course, you choose to.If you’re interested in trying out writing as a tool for healing, s tart your writing by setting a timer for ten minutes. 15 Think of one object in your home that signifies a moment for you. See it in full color. Feel the weight of it. Use all your senses. Now, write about that object and see how large its meaning can become.16 How you heal from trauma can be different from person to person as well.It all depends on what works best for you. Remember, one size does not fit all. Writing may not work for everyone, but you won’t know if you don’t try.【选项】B.Of course, expressive writing is hardly a panacea (灵丹妙药).C.Also, seeking help for emotional stress is often seen as a sign of weakness.D.It may seem abnormal that writing about negative experiences has a positive effect. E.Once you have a better handle on your problems, you can move forward and get on with life.F.It is writing from your heart and mind and about the emotion associated with a certain event.G.Let your mind go to the detailed, specific moments to get to the feelings and truthof your experience.三、完形填空Misty Copeland spends most days twisting, spinning and 17 .

But it’s not clear that these benefits come specifically from vitamin C.The Age-Related Eye Disease Study found that a daily supplement containing 500 mg of vitamin C can help slow the progress of macular degeneration, an age-related eye disease that causes vision loss. But we don’t know what benefits, if any, are provided by vitamin C in particular.Many people take vitamin C supplements in unnecessarily high doses to prevent or treat various conditions for which its effectiveness is unproved. The vitamin C supplements have variously been said for staving off sunburn and improving the appearance of wrinkles. None of these benefits have been confirmed in scientific studies.Perhaps the best-known and most widely promoted use of high-dose(高剂量)vitamin C is to prevent or treat the common cold. Most of the evidence shows that high-dose vitamin C will, at most, shorten a cold by one day. In ordinary circumstances, vitamin C has no preventive value, although a few studies have reported a 50% reduced risk of developing colds among people taking vitamin C in extreme circumstances-for example, skiers, marathon runners, and soldiers working in extreme conditions.The recommended vitamin C dosage per day for healthy women is 75 mg per day. For adults, the highest safe daily intake is likely to be 2, 000 mg per day. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so any amount more than you need will not be stored in the body. It’s safe in almost any amount from foods, and supplements in recommended amounts are also regarded as safe for most people. In some people, high doses-more than, say, 2, 000 or 3, 000 mg per day-can cause a variety of symptoms. People with kidney conditions should take no more than 1, 000 mg a day.;4. What can we learn about vitamin C in the first paragraph?A.It can be of better effect in higher doses.B.It can be a cure for age-related eye disease.C.It can help slow the progress of some illness.D.It can reduce the risks of the mouth cancer.;5. What function does vitamin C have intreating the common cold?A.It can help people save plenty of money.B.It can stop soldiers from catching a cold.C.It may reduce a cold by one day at most.D.It may prevent the common cold efficiently.;6. How much Vitamin C are healthy women advised to take per day?A.75 mg.B.500 mg.C.2, 000 mg.D.3, 000mg.;7. Where is this text probably taken from?A.An exam paper.B.A travel journal.C.An art guidebook.D.A science magazine.CThis year will have been the warmest in the UK, the Met Office has said. Although for many people the record from the year that attracted the most attention was that the summer heatwave reached 40. 3℃, the organization said that more significant was a figure 30 degrees lower-the average temperature over the course of the year.Although the exact temperature will need to be confirmed in the new year, the Met Office predicted that 2022 is going to exceed (超过)the previous record for the warmest annual average, which was 9. 88C in 2014. Apart from this month, every other month in the UK in 2022 was warmer than average. New Ye ar’s Day 2022 was the warmest on record, exceeding 16℃ in North Wales. Dr. Mark McCarthy, head of the National Climate Information Centre, said: “While many people will remember the summer’s extreme heat, what hurts people most, especially the elderly, this year is the relatively consistent heat through the year. ” Although this summer was the fourth warmest on record, it was the first in which the temperature exceeded 40℃.McCarthy said that we can expect to see increasingly warmer summers as a consequenc e of climate change. “The warm year is in line with the impacts we expect as a result of human-related climate change, ”he said. “Although it doesn’t mean every year will be the warmest on record, climate change continues to increase the chances of increas ingly warm years over the coming decades. ”Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace UK, said: “These aren’t the kind of records you want to be breaking. Record-breaking investment in the renewable technologies will get us out of this mess.At present though, Britain is ready for rain, with forecasters warning of difficult driving conditions caused by wet weather over the next few days. Although temperatures will stay mild for much of the UK, the Met Office warned that the rainfall will hit England and Wales this Saturday and Sunday.;8.

I have, however, struggled to think of an answer. Yes, we do have our own national dishes. 12Fish and chips, as you could guess, is made up of battered fish and chips. It is often accompanied by mushy peas (豌豆糊), which consists of peas mashed up to form a thick paste. The majority of British people really do love this dish but it is not something that we would eat, say, on a weekly basis. 13 British people associate this dish with the seaside and it’s something that will usually be eaten on a day trip there.14 This is made up of roast meat, usually chicken or beef, accompanied by roast vegetables and a meat sauce. It is usually eaten on a Sunday, perhaps for a special family dinner.Although we do have our traditional dishes, we do not eat these on a daily basis. On a daily basis many British people will eat rice or pasta dished. 15 You can see this by looking at the range of international foods in the supermarket or at the va riety of different restaurants you can find on our high streets.16 However, perhaps unlike other countries, we tend to prefer to cook recipes influenced by other cuisine.A.We eat them as the seasons change.B.But how much do we actually eat them?C.In conclusion, we do have our national dishes.D.Another favourite British dish is the roast dinner.E.Our diet has been greatly influenced by other countries.F.It’s also not usually something that you would cook at home.G.You’ll be served a traditional dish if you get invited for dinner at a British family’s home.三、完形填空The public library is one of the greatest inventions humankind has ever imagined and actually made happen. Libraries are a (an) 17 , quiet place where all people can hang out and read, without having to 18 anyone anything. Apart from being a place that is full of 19 to borrow, libraries are something that offers 20 and warmth. A post on Twitter celebrating the wonderfulness of libraries 21 this point perfectly.“Today a woman with developmental disabilities came into the library, and she was 22 ,” wrote a Twitter user. “She didn’t 23 her address, but her phone number was in her pocket on a piece of paper with Elmo on it. She kept saying, ‘The library is a safe place.’We called and her guardians (监护人) came right over. It seemed that they were not worried at all. Apparently this happens pretty 24 . They even stayed long enough for her to 25 some new books and Sesame Street DVDs. The library is a safe place indeed.”The post 26 others to share their own stories of libraries being safe places for them, and it’s enough to 27 even the hardest of hearts. For people who grew up in dysfunctional (功能失调的) homes, the library can be a safe heaven of calm and kindness. For people lacking financial means, the library is a space that provides free education and free entertainment, as well as a free indoor place to go. This is the reason why 28 people grouped to libraries when they have nowhere else on earth---the only place that doesn’t 29 money. We cannot understate Literal lifesavers. Libraries also fill up a lot of gaps in other social 30 and help people find their way to information about other opportunities. They open the doors to so many 31 .17.

D.In a English TV channel.BHurricane Fiona, killing 16 people and bringing the power system to a 3-day stop, struck Puerto Rico, an island country located between Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, on September 18, almost five years after Hurricane Maria hit the island, showing that, as researchers have long warned, storms are now more frequent and cause more damage due to climate change.Back in 2017, Hurricane Maria killed thousands of people and left millions without power for a week. A study in 2019 found that the possibility of terrible events like Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico is now almost five times higher due to climate change.The storms were similar in many ways but had their own features. Maria was a Category (类别) 4 hurricane whose speed was up to 155 mph, while Fiona, a Category 1 storm when it landed Puerto Rico, was gentler, with winds of up to 85 mph, which later increased to 115 mph as the storm progressed through the island.And yet, the heavy rain caused by Fiona brought Puerto Rico to its knees. According to the data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the slow moving storms brought 15.80 inches of rain over a 5-day period, slightly more than Maria at 14.72 inchesThis confirms another long-held thought that, with climate change, horrible storms will not only become more common but also wetter.That’s because the increase in temperatures is leading to more loss of water from the sea and warmer air can hold more water vapor (水蒸气). The average temperature all over the world has already increased by nearly 1.2℃ due to climate change and for each 1℃ of warming, the air’s ability to hold water is thought to increase by about 7%. The latest research suggests that the increase may be three times higher, at 21%.;4. What was a direct cause of more storms in Puerto RicoA.Loss of forests. B.Puerto Rico’s location.C.Human activity. D.Climate change.;5. Compared with Maria, what’s the feature of Fiona progressing through Puerto RicoA.It brought less rain. B.It moved a bit slower.C.It caused a longer power cut. D.It brought more deaths.;6. What do the figures in the last paragraph showA.Rainfall increases with temperature rising.B.Puerto Rico is a place raining all the time.C.Storms are common in Puerto Rico.D.Slower storms cause more damage.;7. What’s the best title for the textA.Puerto Rico: Survival of PeopleB.Puerto Rico: Frequent FloodsC.Climate Change: Wetter Puerto RicoD.Climate Change: Disasters on Their Way to Puerto RicoCSheneman, a 33-year-old artist, was first diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病) around five years ago, and she says it was a wake-up call. Since then, health has become a huge part of her life.What she realized while battling this condition, though, is that a lot of people weren’t aware of what she went through on a daily basis. “Which is crazy to think about because there are so many diabetics out there,” she said. So, Sheneman came up with an art project that would offer a deep understanding of what diabetics go through.On April 1, she started her journey, a 470-mile walk, from her college town of Cincinnati, Ohio, and her plan is to make it to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, by the end of the month.Throughout this journey, people will be able to watch her glucose(葡萄糖) levels through an app that’s connected to her glucose monitor, the Dexcom G6. The monitor provides real-time alerts when her glucose levels vary too high or low.This journey is more than just showing people how physically difficult this walk is. “I want them to understand what it looks like to be diabetic and constantly checking and making sure that you’re eating the right things,” she said, adding that “just something as simple as stress can raise your blood sugar.”Sheneman was told by health professionals to do something simple, like walking every day. However, Sheneman, who grew up backpacking, wanted to test the limits of what was possible. “I think it’s important to understand that being a diabetic is not necessarily limiting you,” she said. “There’s just the most difficult part that you have to get over.”8. Why did Sheneman start the art projectA.To raise people’s awareness of diabetes. B.To raise money for all the diabetics.C.To advertise for her hometown. D.To get sympathy for herself.9. What should Sheneman pay special attention to during the journey A.The reactions and concerns of others. B.The app connected to the Dexcom G6.C.The variation of her glucose levels. D.The physical difficulty the walk causes.10. Which of the following best describes the life of a diabetic like ShenemanA.Colorful. B.Cautious.C.Artistic. D.Adventurous.11. What message does Sheneman seem to convey in the last paragraph A.Sport helps gain confidence in fighting diseases.B.We don’t have to follow the doctor’s advice.C.Nothing can stop one achieving their goals.D.Our path in life will not always be smooth.二、七选五阅读We know that choosing a college major can be very tough. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here’s what you need to know about college majors before you choose.What is a major12 Beyond general college requirements, you’ll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.How important is my majorThe major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. 13 .When do I choose a majorThis varies widely across schools and programs. 14 . Others require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.15Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However,keep this in mind: every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.What are minors and double majorsIf one field of study doesn’t satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it’s an area of academic concentration. 16 A double major provides you with an understanding or two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.A.Can I change my mindB.Is my major time-consumingC.It’s your specialized area of study in college.D.Most students find one major is more than enough.E.Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.F.The only difference is that it doesn’t require as many classes. G.Many future science doctors major in non-science related fields.三、完形填空The year 2020 was a hard year.

ASports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging.Criticism(批评)from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout.Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself.The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback(反馈)to youngsters can greatly affect their children.Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷)in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful)that youth sport participation does not become work for children.The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons.In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport.Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to)the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances.Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome.Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.71.According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that __________.A.it can help them learn more about societyB.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC.it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD.it can provide them with valuable experiences72.According to the passage parents and coaches should __________.A.help children to win every gameB.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD.train children to deal with stress73.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ___________.A.to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB.to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC.to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBWhen a couple decides to marry, they naturally inform both sets of parents and stepparents before having a party planned or telling all their friends.The days are long gone of the man going trembling to the girl’s father and saying, “ Sir, may I have the honor of having the hand of your daughter in marriage?” However, a wise couple always discuss their plans for marriage with their respective families, and a young man often sug gests a “financial talk” with his future father-in-law before the latter is faced with the embarrassment of asking for one.Even if a young woman hassupported herself and lives away from home, her parents have the right to know how her fiancéproposes to handle the long-range financing of their family and home.The fiancé should state his income, his savings, and his failure expectations, without overstating any of them.Engagement parties are given by the parents of the bride-to-be or by a relative of the bride acting for her parents, usually just before the newspaper announcement of the engagement.If the bride-to-be and her fiancé live in a city other than her parents, it is better for her parents to go to the city than her to go home to them for the engagement party.She and her fiancé will, after all, be partied in her parents’ hometown during the wedding festivities.However, if the family home is not far away, it is proper for the engaged couple to travel there for the announcement party.The young man’s family should be invited, too.If the bride’s parents are no longer living, then a relative or a close friend can give the party.It is usually a simple cocktail’s party, champagne served for toasts to the engaged couple.If the party is very large, the engaged couple and the girl’s parents might form a receiving line---- but they do not have to.The bride-to-be usually wears her engagement ring officially for the first time on this occasion.If she has a gift for the groom-to-be, she gives it to him right before or after the engagement party.For Americans, the traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire (单粒宝石).However, today anything goes---- a ring with many colored stones, a ring with a large semiprecious stone, an heirloom (传家宝)ring reset in a modern design, or even a stone in the bride’s family, simply reset in a Tiffany setting.The wedding ring will be of the same metal as the engagement ring.Some girls prefer no engagement ring but choose a wedding band that is decorated with stones instead.No one has to have an engagement ring.A girl may want her fiancé to give her a pearl necklace instead, or a jeweled watch.Jeweled rings can be given as gifts on many occasions during the married lives---- such as wedding anniversaries, the birth of a child, or an important job promotion.74.According to the first paragraph, young men ________.A.must tell all their friends before planning a partyB.used to feel afraid of going to meet their girl friends’ parentsC.must promise that their family could support themD.must guarantee they live away from home already75.The underlined word “one” in the first paragraph most probably mea ns ________.A.a marriage B.a planC.a financial talk D.an embarrassment76.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The bride-to-be and her fiancé will have to wait in line with both of their parents.B.If the girl’s parents are dead, a relative or a close friend gives a party on their behalf.C.The engagement party is usually given before the newspaper announcement.D.It’s no longer necessary to give a diamond solitaire as the engagement ring.77.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A.a young man can give his wife a jeweled watch on the birthday of their childB.the heirloom must be reset in a modern designC.the engagement ring and the wedding ring are differentD.some girls don’t mind what they are given for the engagementC“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much.”---- Francis Bacon (1561-1626)It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding.To start with, you needquestions.Then, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts.After that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones.Although today we are more accustomed to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to spit the answer out for u s, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis---- luckily for us.However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day.At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “ the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming t o their defence.The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge that they had always comfortably believed.They preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of others.In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322BC).This also shows how people didn’t want to search for their own understanding o r educate themselves.And this is still often true today.People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so.But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times.And Galilei too made mistakes.He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle.He was wrong.Therefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing.In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all.”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we don’t know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions.So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon.These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; t he point is to discover them.”----Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)78.In Bacon and Galileo’s times, people would prefer to ________.A.learn new things by observing the world around themselvesB.acquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestorsC.seek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientistsD.explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes79.In this passage Bacon and Galileo are mentioned as examples for ________.A.their great achievements in scienceB.their ambition to doubt great ancestorsC.their revolutionary way of acquiring knowledgeD.their preference to believe in themselves rather than others80.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To help the readers learn more about great thinkers in history.B.To convince the readers of the importance of thinking and discovering.C.To persuade the readers to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom.D.To encourage the readers to go against the views of their day.81.Which of the following is the process the writer suggests to acquire knowledge?A.asking questions→searching the Internet→ waiting the results→ finding answersB.acquiring knowledge and understanding→ asking questions→ answering questionsC.observing the world→ asking questions→ studying facts→ finding answers→ considering possibilitiesD.asking questions→ observing the world→ studying facts→ considering possibilities→ testing and finding answersDA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily,it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love(早恋)may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(忧郁症).The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys,and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”.According to the study,even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”,this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls.Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions.They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman,an expert on young people problems,says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing.Trying romance often causes the depression.She advises kids not to jump into romance too early.During growing up,it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self.She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons,they need to give help.The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age.Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity(成熟)gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.82.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Puppy love may bring young people depression.B.Parents should forbid their children’s love.C.Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.D.Romance is good for young people.83.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A.Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B.Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C.Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D.Careless parents whose children are deep in love.84.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B.Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C.Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D.The older a woman is,the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.85.What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A.Confused B.DisapprovingC.Disinterested D.Scared阅读专项限时训练二阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

一、积累与运用(共26分)为了弘扬传统文化,丰厚学生的文化底蕴,靖江外国语八年级学生开展了“传承华夏文化,寻找中国元素”的主题活动,小敏所在的小组围绕日常生活中的“筷子”展开了一系列的探究,请你参与其中,完成1-5题。

1.下面是小敏同学搜集到的材料,阅读后,完成(1)—(4)题。

(共10分)①中国是筷子的发源地,中国人用筷子进餐至少有3000年的历史。

筷子在世界各国的餐具中(叹为观止/独树一帜),被西方人誉为“东方的文明”。

受到我国影响,筷子文化也fú(①)射到日本、越南、韩国和朝鲜等国家。

②筷子最初叫“箸(zhù)”或“梜(jiā)”,到了宋代才开始有“筷子”的称呼。

古人讲究忌讳,因“箸”与“住”谐音,【A】听着有“停滞不前”的意思,【B】故谓不吉利之语,特别是对于行船的人更是讳言,所以古人便反其意改“住”为“快”;加之筷子多以竹子为材料,所以又在“快”字上冠以“竹”字头而名“筷”,寄寓了人们对美好生活的向往。

③民以食为天 轻便灵巧的筷子被人们餐餐使用,筷子文化逐渐融化在中国人的血液里。

中央电视台曾拍过一个主题为 筷子 的春节公益宣传片,通过八个不同地域的家庭在除夕使用筷子的故事,揭示了筷子所蕴含的丰富的传统文化和中国人特有的人情shìɡù(②),令人感动。

方寸之中有乾坤。

《百年孤独(节选)》阅读限时训练(解析版)

《百年孤独(节选)》阅读限时训练(解析版)

《百年孤独(节选)》阅读限时训练一、立足文本(一)阅读课文《百年孤独》,回答下面问题。

1.请赏析《百年孤独》中“走江湖的吉卜赛人又来了,这次把流动游艺会变成了大型赌场”这句话。

【答案】吉卜赛人走街串巷,以把外来的新鲜事物带给马孔多的当地居民作为谋生手段。

【解析】此题考查学生体会重要语句的丰富含意,品味精彩的语言表达艺术的能力。

吉普赛人作为一个天生流浪的民族,内心有着很强的民族性格,他们崇尚自由,拒绝其他文化与变化,保守着内心关于流浪的一些浪漫的向往和天生的资质。

他们走街串巷,靠把外来的新鲜物件介绍给当地马可多的居民来谋取生计。

这些无名的吉普赛人在作品中构成了一类文学群像。

马尔克斯在文中过多的强调了他们作为“文明使者”的重要作用。

2.《百年孤独》中丽贝卡是一个怎样的人?如何理解丽贝卡吃土的情节?【答案】①丽贝卡是一个不期而至的小女孩。

她带着父母的骨殖来到布恩迪亚家里,孤僻、美丽的外表下包裹着充满欲望的内心。

她带来过差点让整个村子覆灭的失眠症,她在内心充满渴望与孤独时疯狂地吃着土。

她像乌尔苏拉一样倔强、坚强,能够把苦难化作生存下去的勇气。

②“土”就是丽贝卡孤独的代表,对吃土有所执念的丽贝卡,并不喜欢混着蚯蚓的湿土味道,但却戒不掉这种味道。

当她内心感到孤独时,苦涩的土的味道是唯一能够排解她痛苦的良方。

【解析】本题考查分析人物形象以及理解相关情节的的能力。

分析人物形象首先应结合着文中叙述性的语句,从身份、地位、修养、气质等总体上把握小说人物形象特点,然后根据小说中描写这个人物的言行举止的语句,以及作者的议论或者作者借作品中其他人物对他的评价的语句,直接提取或概括即可。

情节作用:在内容上展示或暗示人物身份或者性格,揭示主旨(表现小说主题);在形式上(主要指情节本身上的作用),推动情节发展,丰富故事情节;设置悬念,引人注意(引起读者关注),使读者产生急切的期待心理,在情节的发展上宕开一笔,使情节曲折起伏有波澜,耐人寻味,造成情节发展的变幻莫测,使情节发展波澜顿生。

I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“My I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.56. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.57. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like to thank the old man58. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful59. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.BIt is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left. Considering most of the word’s population----men and women----areright-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s sh irts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. Af ter all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.64.What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.66. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because .A. adopting men’s style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change67. The passage is mainly developed by .A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order CHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lordof the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world f illed with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。

You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added 1o the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your trip.

Occasions for TippingC. Advice on Tipping in RestaurantsD. British Ways to TippingCOur perception of how food tastes is influenced by cultery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt2taste better, experiments show.The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth.More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons than are traditionally used to serve desserts.Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter that white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and he feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”8. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is .A. SaltyB. sourC. sweetD. bitter9. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?A. It is important for people.B. People usually don’t care about it.C. It affects how the food tastes.D. It is always different from people’s expectation.10. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Coming from the senses.B. Involving many different senses.C. Able to feel or perceive.D. Easily affected by other feelings.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.B. Research into food will be continued in the future.C. Research on the effect of nerves and taste of food will be done.D. Research into plates and food will be carried out in the near future.DA “memory pill” that could aid exam revision and help to prevent people forgetting important3anniversaries may soon be available over the counter.The medicine has been designed originally to help treat Alzheimer’s disease, a disease marked by progressive loss of mental capacity resulting from weakening of the brain cells, but could be adapted and licensed for sale in a weaker form within the next few years.One brand of memory-enhancing (增强记忆的) pill is being developed by the multinational company AstraZeneca together with Targacept, an American company, while Epix Pharmaceuticals, also from the US, is developing another.Both have “Cognitive-enhancing (提高认知的) effects which are aimed at treating patients with age-related memory loss.Steven Ferris, a neurologist and former committee member of the Food and Drug Administration in the US, has predicted that a milder version will be available for healthy consumers as a lifestyle pill available over the counter.Dr. Ferris said: “My view is that one could gain approval, provided you showed the drugs to be effective and safe. It could be a huge market.”There is evidence that mind-improving drugs are already being taken in Britain by healthy users.Provigil, which was used to treat narcolepsy, is being taken by some students to help them stay awake. while Adderall XR and Ritalin, treatments for attention deficit disorder(注意力缺乏症), are being used to help promote concentration.A spokesman of Adderall XR said: “We get a lot of calls from college campuses asking about it. “There are risks though. It can raise blood pressure, people shouldn’t do it.”The Department of Health said it was not illegal to buy the medicines over the Internet, but it was not recommended.Barbara Sahakian, professor of clinical neuropsychology at Cambridge, said: “It’s hard to quantify the scale of the phenomenon but it’s definitely catching on. ’“The reality is that we are not always at our best. After being up at night looking after the kids or travelling. Many people would love to have something to refresh them. It’s not prohibited to drink Red Bull. The principle with cognition enhancers is not so different. ”12. The “memory pill”, as is mentioned in the first paragraph, is not sold over the counter now mainly because .A. it is not safe enoughB. it is not efficient enoughC. it has not yet been mass-producedD. it has not yet been tested on humans13. Epix Phamaceuticals is developing a memory-enhancing pill for .A. adolescentsB. middle-aged people4C. senior citizensD. pupils and students14.
