湖北省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练:阅读理解(51) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
(A) For a small town, Mantattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly atmosphere. The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightlit restaurant near the pool, And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years. Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn. Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid fortyfive dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people. “A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan”, she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say,hat do you suggest?o I ask them how hungry they are. If they say,ot very. suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say theyt. Y’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value”. Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can become a psychiatrist(心理医生)instead. 1、What does the underlined phrase “a veterinary surgeon” mean?A、An animal doctorB、A hotel managerC、A food expertD、A restaurant waitress 2、According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A、Businessmen like to be suggested what to eat. B、Many couples often want you to recognize them. C、Why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere.

Spaceship One is the world’s first private spacecraft,and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize.Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS),GrahamPickering,said”flying officer”Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since. He said,erence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft,trying parachuting and even look ing drunk and disorderly.When the RAF finally discharege him he will be a very rare bear indeed--we just hope he does not bum up on reentry to Earth? eGNAAS,which needs charitable donations of more than £2m a year,has three air ambulances(空中救护机). Peter Bond,spokesman for the Royal Astronimical Society,said Terence’s safety was not guaranteed. He said,“This is a new experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown.During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved.” Since May,Terence has spent time with members of 100 squadron(空军中队)based at RAF Leeming Basra.Iraq,and at air shows with performing fighter planes. Spaceship One will fly 100km(62 miles) above the Earth’s surface,just breaking through theplanet’s atmosphere.

A、after this space flight,Spaceship One will get the $ 10 million Ansari X-prize B、it is dangerous for a spaceship to re-entre the earth atmosphere C、Terence will be very safe on the flight D、Spaceship One is just an ordinary plane (C) There are some great differences between the traditional family and the modern family. The first important difference is in the man’s role.The traditional husband was the head of the household because he was the only one who worked outside the home.If the wife worked for money,then the husband was not considered to be a good provider,In many families today,both husband and wife work for money.Therefore,they share the role of head of household.In addition,the traditional husband usually made big decisions about spending money.However,the modern husband shares these decisions with his working wife.Also,the traditional husband did not help his wife with housework or meal preparation. Dinner was ready when he came home,In contrast,the modern husband helps his working wife at home.He may do some of the household chores,and it is not unusual for him to cook. The second difference is in the woman’s role. In the traditional family,the woman may have worked for miney during her first years of marriage.However,when she gave birth,she would usually give up her job. Her primary role would be to take care of her family and home.In contrast,in many familiestoday,the modern woman works outside the home even after she has children .She’s doing two jobs instead of one,so she is busier than the traditional mother was.The traditional wife learned to live within her husband’s income.But the modern wife does not have to because the family has two incomes. The final difference is in the role of the children .In the traditional family,the children were taken care of by the mother because she didn’t work outside.However,today pre-school children may go to a child-care center or to a baby-sitter regularly because the mother works.The school-age children of a traditional family were more dependent.Their mother was there to help them get ready for school and to make their breakfast.In conrtast,modern children are more independent.They have to get up early and get ready for school themselves,and they may even have to make their own breakfast. 9、The main idea of the passage is . A、the change of the American society B、the change of the American children C、the change of the American family D、the change of the American adults 10、In the past,if the husband let his wife get a job, . A、people would not think highly of his wife B、people would think little of him C、people would refuse to be friends with him D、people would look up to him 11、The husband in the modern family . A、is still the boss of the family who decides all of the important things B、lets the wife make all of the decisions alone C、shares big decisions with his working wife D、no longer works for money because the wife is working 12、According to the passage,which of the following is true? A、The husband in the modern family does a lot of housework except cooking. B、Modern wives have more free time because their husbands share housework. C、Modern wives no longer cook dinners for husbands. D、It’s common for men to buy dishes,send children to school ,and even cook in a modern family. (D) Advertisement is the difficult business of bringing information to great numbers of people.The purpose of an advertisement is to make people respond to make them react to an idea,such as helping prevent forest fires,or to make them want to buy a certain product or service.At the beginning of the 20th century,advertisement was described as“salesmanship in print”.If this definition were expanded to include radio and television,it would still stand today.The most effective way to sell something is through person-to-person contact.But the cost of person-to-person selling is high because it takes a great deal of time,and it increases the cost of the product or service.Advertising distributes the selling message to many people at one time.The first printed advertisement in the English language appeared in 1278,more than a century before Shakespeare’s first play was produced.This early advertisement was the work of William Caxton,England’s first printer,who used it to advertise religious books from his own workshop Caxton posted small printed notices along London’s main streets.Besides advertising his product,he identified his shop with a red-striped shield(盾形徽章)so that customers could find it easily. This same sort of simple informational advertising is still used.Examples are the roadside signsthat tell travelers that they can buy fresh corn just down the road or that there is a restaurant in the next town. The Industrial Revolution,in the 18th and 19th centuries,brought a new kind of rge factories took the place of small workshops and goods were produced in large quantities. Manufacturers used the newly built railroads to distribute(递送)their products over wide areas.They had to find many thousands of customers in order to stay in business.They couldn’t simply tell people where shoes or cloth or tea could be bought---they had to learn how to make people want to buy aspecific product. Thus modern advertising was born. Advertising created new markets and helped to raise standards of living as people came to feel thatthey had a right to new and better products. 13、The passage mainly talks about . A、the development of advertisement B、the first advertisement in the world C、the difficulty in advertising D、the advantages of advertisements 14、Why is advertisement accepted by people? A、Because it can help to prevent forest fires. B、Because it cand make people want to buy a certain product or service. C、Because it can bring information to great numbers of people. D、Because it can help people live longer. 15、Modern advertisement was born as a result of . A、the Industrial Revolution B、the newly built railroads C、the appearance of the first printer advertisement D、people’s need 16、We can conclude from the passage that . A、red-striped shield is the best thing to use in advertising B、main streets and television are used in advertising C、person-to-person selling is the best way in advertising D、people show little interest in advertisement (E) The days of Europeans relaxing in the cafe with a newspaper and a seemingly endless cup of coffee appear to be numbered.A new English expression is popular in Europe these days:“coffee to go.” “Five or ten years ago it was much more normal to sit in a cafe for several hours than it is nowadays,”says Joann,who works in a central Berlin coffee bar owned by the Canadian coffee and bakery chain Tim’s. “There is a trend towards a more fast-paced life.But people still act surprised when you ask if the coffee is‘to go’.You mean I can take it with me? they ask..” “Europe is often five or eight years behind trends in America,”says Joann.“In theStates.‘coffee to go’is part of everyday life.” Owing in part to Starbucks,it appears to be very much part of everyday life in many other countries too. The Seattle-based group compete with a growing number of global chains in attempting to reshape coffee drinking cultures in regions including Asia and the Middle East. The US is the model for continental Europe’s new“coffee to go”culture:Each of the new cafe bars offers bagels,muffins,brownies and cookies to go with the coffee. But then,“coffee to go’’might sound a little odd to English ears used to the words “takeaway”or take one. It does sum up the brisker pace of life since the city resumed its status as the German capital following the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. As one more sign of the changing times,one of Berlin’s most venerable(古老而庄重的)coffee houses,cafe Einstein,has followed the trend by opening a small chain of coffee shops across the city. Taking coffee,slowly and in decorous(端正的)surroundings,has been a feature of European coffee houses,particularly in German speaking countries,for decades. For the elderly citzens of Vienna it amounts to a ritual(仪式)when they gather in coffee houses around the city for a cup of their favovrite drink and a piece of rich,creamy cake. 17、From the passage,we can see that . A、“coffee to go” springs in Europe these days B、Europe is often a few years before trends in America C、America often follows Europe’s “coffee to go”culture D、it’s easy to reshape coffee drinking cultures in the Middle East 18、Every new cafe bar offers some to go with the coffeeA、foodB、newspaperC、drinkD、music 19、More and more Europeans have takeaway coffee because . A、Europeans live a more fast-paced life now B、The coffee is much cheaper C、Europeans are used to taking away the coffee D、the coffee is easy to take away 20、The characteristic of European coffee houses is . A、“coffee to go ”as part of daily life B、sitting in a cafe bar for several hours C、having coffee slowly in a pleasant atmosphere D、taking away coffee in a hurry 1—20 ACDDD BCBCB CDACA BAAAC。

湖北省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练:阅读理解(2)阅读理解AA dog who chewed off his owner’s infected toe(脚趾)while he was passed-out drunk has been called a lifesaver. Jerry Douthett had been out drinking when his dog Kiko bit off a large part if his big toe. His wife, Rosee, rushed him to hospital where tests showed the 48-year-old musician had dangerous high blood-sugar levels. Doctors told him his toe would have had to be cut off anyway.Mr Douthett said he had refused to get medical advice despite his toe being swollen for months. “I was hiding it from people, Rosee included,” he said. “It smelled , and I look back now and realize every time we’d visit someone with a dog, their dog would smell all over my foot.”The night before Mr Douthett had agreed to see a doctor, he passed out at home after going out drinking. He said, “I woke up and the dog was lying along side by foot. I said, ‘Ah, there’s blood everywhere.’ I ran to the bathroom and started to scream.”However, he believes Kiko could sense the disease coming from his big toe. “He’s a hero,”Mr Douthett said. “It wasn’t an aggressive attack. He just ate the infection. He saved my life. He ate it. I mean, he must have eaten it, because we couldn’t find it anywhere else in the house. I look down. There’s blood all over, and my toe is gone.”Before the operation, Mr Douthett asked a nurse, “Is there any chance I can get whatever’s left of my toe, so I can give it to Kiko as a treat?”Kiko is still with the family but is under observation by authorities.1.Mr Douthett didn’t want to get medical treatment because ______ .A.he didn’t know about his disease at allB.he was unwilling to let others know about his diseaseC.doctors had no good ways to treat his bad toeD.his wife advised him not to do that2.From Paragraph 3 we can infer that ______ .A.Rosee managed to persuade her husband to go to hospitalB.Mr Douthett made his big toe worse by frequent drinkingC.Mr Douthett didn’t know his toe was chewed off at firstD.it is dangerous for people to let pet dogs sleep in the bedrooms3.What did Mr Douthett think of his dog ?A.It was clever and brave.B.It never attacked healthy people.C.It was a cruel but helpful dog.D.It was a dangerous dog in fact.BBritain’s symbolic red phone boxes have become out of date in the age of the mobile, but villages across the country are stepping in to save them, with creative intelligence. Whether as a place to exhibit art, poetry, or even as a tiny library, hundreds of phone boxes have been given a new life by local communities determined to preserve a typical part of British life. In Waterperry,a small village near Oxford, the 120 residents have filled the phone box next to the old house with a pot of flowers, piles of gardening and cooking magazines, and stuck poems on the walls.They took control of the phone box when telecoms operator BT said it was going to pull it down, an announcement that caused such dissatisfaction that one local woman threatened to chain herself to the box to save it. “I’d have done it,”insisted Kendall Turner. “It would have been heartbreaking for the village.”Local councilor Tricia Hallam, who came up with the idea for the phone box’s change, said quite a few people would have joined her, adding, “We couldn’t let it go because it’s a British symbol.”Only three feet by three feet wide, and standing 2.51-meter tall, the phone boxes were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1936 for the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V.Painted in “Post Office red” to match the post boxes, they were once a typical image of England and the backdrop(背景)to millions of tourist photographs.Eight years ago there were about 17,000 across Britain, but today, in a country where almost everybody has a mobile phone, 58 percent are no longer profitable and ten percent are only used once a month. “On average, maintaining them costs $800 a year per phone box —about £44 million annually,” said John Lunb, general manager for BT Payphones.4.Some red phone boxes in Britain have been used for ______ .a.selling flowersb.cookingc.readingd.exhibiting art or poetryA.a,bB.c,dC.a,b,cD.b,c,d5.Why do the villagers want to keep the red phone boxes ?A.Because millions of people visit Britain to see the red phone boxes.B.Because the local people could earn a lot of money from the red phone boxes.C.Because the red phone boxes have already become a symbol of Britain.D.Because the red phone boxes may be useful for some people in emergency.6.What is the color of the British post boxes according to the passage ?A.Green.B.Red.C.Black.D.Yellow.7.What is John Lumb’s attitude towards pulling down the red phone boxes ?A.Supportive.B.Opposed.C.Neutral.D.Indifferent.CIn bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing.It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads.On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children.Some may be especially strict in money matters.Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals.In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is veryimportant in parental teaching.To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”.If they are not sincere and do not practice what they teach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.8.Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _________.A.should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning new things9.In the process of children’s learning new skills, parents ______.A.should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB.should not expect too much of themC.should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD.should create as many learning opportunities as possible10.The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A.parents should be strict with their childrenB.parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC.parental restrictions vary, and are not always intended for the benefit of the children aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation11.In moral matters, parents should __________.A.observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC.forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD.consistently ensure the security of their childrenDAt about 4 am, after hours of being unable to sleep, of shivering in the cold mountain air and trying to silence my crying kids who kept waking up, of attempting to find a comfortable sleeping position, of listening to whether there might have been a bear outside our tent, I finally couldn’t stand it any more. I complained, “Everything has gone wrong.”My wife and I were in one tent with our two young kids. A hundred yards east away was Summit Lake, where the glorious early morning mist was shimmering(闪烁)off the water. A couple miles to the southwest was the base of the Lassen Peak Trail. The base was 8,000 feet above sea level, and huge snow dotted the scenery even in mid August. Further west still was Bumpass Hell, with steam rising up.As the sun crept up over the edge of the Lassen peak, we fired up the camp stove and had breakfast. Half an hour later, my six-year-old daughter and I were in the parking lot of the Lassen peak trail, getting ready to go up the mountainside. We wouldn’t make it all the way, but it didn’t matter. We would see nature at its extremes: the volcanic ash that layered on the earth turning the melting snow a mysterious pink as the sun struck it; the blues of the sky shading into theblues of distant lakes, which in turn shaded into the whites and grays of the snow.My daughter grabbed my camera. She wanted to take a photo of “the composite(混合物)”of colors. Looking out over that scenery, and seeing my daughter fascinated by nature, I felt stupid about my morning complaints.Yes, camping is uncomfortable. And yes, there’s a lot to be said for getting out a credit card,reserving a room in a nice hotel, and going out for a fancy meal. But there’s also something wonderful about being so close to raw nature. And , as important, there’s something vital about getting young children out of their increasingly modern comfort zones and forcing them to meet the world around them.12.According to the passage, what contributed to the author’s sleeplessness ?①the cold weather ②his crying children ③fear of bears④sounds of bears ⑤the aches of his lower back ⑥his own complaintsA. ①④⑥B. ①②③C. ②④⑤D. ②③⑤13.Which of the following maps correctly shows the places ?14.The underlined word “colors” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ .A.blue, white, gray and pinkB.white, yellow, gray and pinkC.white, green ,gray and pinkD.blue, green,white and gray15.How did the author’s feeling change from the beginning to the end ?A.Calm→Satisfied.B.Excited→Frustrated.C.Sad→Calm.D.Regretful→Satisfied.16.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage ?A.Nature is the glass reflecting truth.B.Nature is the best scenery designer.C.The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.D.A bad beginning makes a bad ending.EA new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.Until now,it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience—what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught(though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).But in the new study,researchers describe a method for improving this skill,along with experiments to prove it works.The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it.This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence,so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests.Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game,in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard.During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance,manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively.To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills,the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,were striking.Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater.Moreover,the longer they trained, the higher their scores were.All performers,from the weakest to the strongest,showed significant improvement.“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper.“No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,” he added, “and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whe ther more training would continue to produce further gains.”17.The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was ______________.A.memorizing telephone numbersB.improving working memoryC.training in concentrationD.recalling a card18.The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence EXCEPT___________.A.ignoring irrelevant itemsB.monitoring ongoing performanceC.managing two tasks at the same timeing previous experience19.When the experiment was conducted, the researchers______________.A.trained the four groups for the same period of timeB.only made comparisons between the four groupspared the four groups with control groupsD.trained the four groups together20.By writing the article,the writer intends to ______________.rm the readers of a new studyB.call on people to be trained to increase intelligenceC.prove one’s born brainpower can be improvedD.tell people the improved intelligence will last forever1—3 BCA 4—7 BCBA 8—11 BCCA12—16 BCADB 17—20 BDCA。

AAre some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences?Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment。
This view,now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with。

AI'd been thinking of it so long;it seemed like the only thing to do—to show my baby,who had eyes as green as water and whose name means the sea,the ocean.”Babies are supposed to instin ctually know who they daddy is,” Gerald,Dooriya's daddy,said, holding Dooriya before him.”But she don’t recognize nothing."Everybody had something to say about raising my baby, but none of them actually did any raising.Taking Dooriya to see the ocean had become the only thing that kept me from feeling like my life was an everlasting losing race,this vision of what could be for my little girl.When I told Momma about my plans to visit the lighthouse(灯塔)at Cape Hatteras, she just spun her broken record."That baby’11 never understand a thing of what she's seeing.””My baby book says I should treat her just like any other child.It's good to show her beautiful things even if she don't know what she’s seeing.It helps her brain develop.How's her brain gonna develop if all she ever sees is the walls inside this crummy house?”"That child's brain ain't never gonna develop.We love her, but it's not like she's ever gonna not be a Mongoloid(先天愚型患者).”I had read a half-dozen books about Down Syndrome that said stimulation(刺激)might improve a child’s chances of developing to her fullest potential.And what’s more stimulating than a trip to see the ocean?Guidebooks described the area as the land of beginnings,which I liked the sound of.But before I could map out a plan, I woke up one night when Dooriya hiccupped (打嗝).Then she just stopped breathing.The ER doctor gave me a pamphlet on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)and said, children with Down Syndrome are much more likely to be affected by this sort of thing.I didn’t remember much about driving to Cape Hatteras, especially taking Dooriya from the hospital.But up on that lighthouse,with its broad spiral running up and around it like a black and white barber’s pole,I saw my life twist into the air.As I climbed the winding stairs,I counted the steps,268 in all, stopping on 77, Dooriya's very number of days on this planet.At the top,I held Dooriya up to the Atlantic, its cold air raising the thin soft hair on her head.With her eyes closed and her arms spread out,it looked like she was bathing in the warmth of the sun.1.From Gerald's words ”But she don't recognize nothing.” we know ____.A.The baby was probably born with the eye problemB.The father thought the baby was abnormalC.The baby could recognize nothing except her fatherD.The father made up an excuse not to care for the baby2.Did anybody else besides her mother actually take the responsibility to raise the baby?A.The father.B.The grandma.C.Nobody.D.The doctor.3.The reason why the mother wanted to take her baby to see the ocean is that ____.A.She believed seeing the ocean could help cure her baby's disease B.She wanted her baby to enjoy her remaining timeC.She believed the ocean was the land of beginningsD.She wanted her baby to enjoy nature4.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.The doctor eventually saved the life of the baby.B.The baby was disabled by her careless mother.C.The baby enjoyed the sunshine while seeing the ocean.D.The disease SIDS took away the life of the baby.BSteve Jobs made technology fun.The co-founder of Apple died last Wednesday at the age of fifty-six He had fought for years against cancer.Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto,California,and Apple stores around the world.Tim Bajarin,president of a high—tech research and consultingcompany, said ”If you actually look at a tech leader,they're really happy if they have one hit in their life.Steve Jobs has the Apple II,the Mac,the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.”Steve Jobs was a college dropout.He was adopted by a machinist and his wife,an accountant.They supported his early interest in electronics.He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple-in nineteen seventy—six.They stayed at the company until nineteen eighty-five.That year,Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute(分歧)with the chief executive.Mr.Jobs then formed his own company,called NeXT Computer.He rejoined Apple in nineteen ninety—seven after it bought NeXT.He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.Steve Wozniak,speaking on CNN,remembered his longtime friend as a "great visionary an d leader’’and a ”marketing genius(天才)”.President Obama said in a statement: "By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity.By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible,but intuitive and fun."David Carroll is a professor at Parsons School of Design in New York City.He says Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology,he also revolutionized American business."The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce lop to bottom and across is really stunning (令人惊奇的).He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford,so one of the great[s]of all time.” David Carroll said.Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple's chief executive in August because of his health.He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement.Apple's new chief,Tim Cook,will also have to deal with the new Kindle Fire tablet computer from Amazon.com.It costs less than half as much as an iPad but also does less.5.Why did people all over the world mourn Steve Jobs?A.He was very courageous in the face of cancer.B.He became very rich though dropping out college.C.He released a new iPhone version before death.D.He revolutionized technology and made it enjoyable.6.Which of the following can easily prove that Jobs is a ”marketing genius”?A.After Apple,he founded NeXT Computer.B.He made Apple very valuable once again in the world.C.He developed a series of Apple products.D.He was considered the greatest industrial figure of all time.7.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7

inventing things.8.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Jobs’s parents discouraged hi m from working on electronics B.Jobs stayed in Apple as chief executive for about 24 years.C.Jobs started his career in his family garage.D.Run unsuccessfully,Apple was sold to NeXT Computer.CWe all, at one time or another,have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song.Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults,in the privacy of our homes.Me?I love to do that when I drive! 1 turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm.Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.Yes, that is true, I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light I get weird(古怪的))looks from some people and others laugh.Personally,I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is:stupid,foolish and nonsensical.I know many people do not want to lookfoolish.So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!No one is perfect,I repeat:no one is perfect.I don’t care how educated,how thin,how beautiful, how simple,how frugal (节俭的), how rich, and so on...No one is perfect!So why pretend to be something you are not?Life is so short...You never know when this beautiful journey will be over,so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity(呆板)?Here is a quote by Souza,that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:"Dance as though no one is watching you,Love as though you have never been hurt before,Sing as though no one can hear you,Live as though heaven is on earth."When we were kids,we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the.world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others.However, as we grew up,we lost that childlike innocence.So don’t lose the child that still lives within you.The next time you feel down,go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow.Or watch something that makes you laugh.Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails (使痛苦) you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your stomach hurts.Trust me,you will feel a whole lot better,and who doesn’t want to feel good?9.According to the text, what does the writer usually do?A.He repeats the words of songs.B.He sings songs on his way to work.C.He dances in his own home.D.He shares music with other drivers.10.What does the writer think of the people who look very serious? A.They are honest.B.They are educated.C.They are perfect.D.They are silly.11.The writer quotes Souza to show that____.A.life is a beautiful journey B.life is full of rigidity C.life is to be treasured D.life is a great recipe 12.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.The Innocence of Being a Child B.The Importance of Being SillyC.No One Is Perfect D.Life Is ShortDNearly 28%of college Students plan to seek employment using Linkedin, up from 5%last year, according to a survey out today from employee recognition provider i Love Rewards and career-services network Experience.Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%.No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learnabout job possibilities.Instead they’re using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman.Companies need to know their online image,then update anything that is outdated,inaccurate or not inleractive(互动的).'The recruited have now become the recruiters,” Suleman says.”They are now going out and finding the companies they want to apply for.”Students learn about employers by viewing their websites,reading Facehook and Twitter updates and perusing(精读)Linkedln profiles.Another information source: Comments by past and current employees on job—oriented websites.A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best and brightest gets competitive.Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use "different" recruiting tactics(策略)to reach Generation Y, according to a survey by job-search site Monster.com to be released today.Of those respondents, almost 60%say social-networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y candidates."Our reason for using social media is because that’s where we think the candidates are,” he says.The company posts updates and videos on topics such as job opportunities and the benefits of being an employee.It also created a mobile-friendly site for those who want to apply via smart phone.”Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past," Lavery says.”They want to interact with you.They want to learn about you.”The updated recruitment techniques take effort, but they work,he says.In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees.The year before,it hired 29 employees through those means.”It’s a time investment(投资)that you have to be willing to do," he says.”You can't just have a page up there and not have content.In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or people won't be a part of your community."13.In order to find their dream jobs, more American graduates like to use ____.A.newspapers B.magazines C.the Internet D.radios14.Why do many companies use social-networking sites to recruit graduates?A.Because they have no other way to get in touch with graduates.B.Because graduates tend to learn about employers through social media.C.Because companies want to post advertisements for their products.D.Because companies like to post videos and updates about their products.15.The underlined word ”recruit” in Paragraph 11 p robably means ____.A.fire B.attract C.contact D.employ 16.From what Lavery says, we can conclude that ____.A.it is very easy for a company to hire graduates through social media B.a company has to make great efforts to find the best graduates C.a company doesn’t have to update the information about it D.graduates are afraid to communicate with the boss of the companyESquirrels often communicate with whistles,chirps and chucks,which sound like the word “chuck".Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel—speak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg,and his team managed to record squirrels’ alarm calls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their reponses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became.Alert(警惕的).Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves."In effect then,whistles that mix with chucks say 'there’s an enemy of average threat that’s here',and whistles without chucks say ’there'san enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere’,while pure chirps say,'I’m hiding here because there’s an immedia te danger.' " Hare told.Discovery News.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats,other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller's social status, like humans who look up to heroes。
湖北省2012届高三英语二轮复习 第3模块 阅读理解 模块综述(学案).pdf
2012届高三英语二轮复习精品学案(湖北专用):第3模块 阅读理解 模块综述 考纲解读 “侧重提高阅读能力”是高中英语教学大纲的明确规定。
纵观近几年的高考英语试题,我们不难看出,阅读理解是高考考查的重点,自始至终占着主导地位。
阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能。
包括对书面语言的识别、理解、推理、判断和快速记忆等几个方面。
不仅仅涉及语音、语法、词汇这些语言因素,还涉及非语言因素,即:阅读者对目标语言所在国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、对所读材料内容的熟悉程度、个人经历、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等各方面。
命题分析 历年高考试题中阅读理解命题特点和规律如下: 1. 内容生活化 阅读理解所选的材料均来源于实际生活,涉及的内容也是表现实际生活的,强调语篇选材的真实性。
2. 体裁多元化 阅读理解所选的语段包括记叙文、说明文、应用文和议论文,继续保持了体裁多样化的特点。
选材多源于英文报刊和网络媒体,包括名人轶事、历史传说、民间故事、寓言、幽默小品、日常生活、新闻报道、社会背景、政治经济、史地常识、科普文章等方面的知识,并且具有鲜明的英语语言文化特点和浓厚的时代气息。
综合反映了政治、经济、文化和生活的各个方面,体现了“语言是文化的载体”这一重要理念。
3. 信息密集化 阅读理解试题的材料含有较高的信息量。
近年来阅读理解继续保持了较大的阅读量,要求考生准确而迅速地从特定语篇中有目的地获取信息。
阅读理解题五个选篇都是以简约的语言负载高含量的信息,从语言运作的表层看,各段文字并不构成很大的理解困难,但是隐藏在表层结构下面的则是较复杂的信息,试题具有较高的区分度。
4. 结构复杂化 阅读理解五篇文章的语篇结构都具有较大的复杂性。
各篇或在时间顺序上,或在空间顺序上,或在逻辑推理上,均使用了较高级的组篇手段,这种来源于真实语料的作品和考生平时在课本中接受的清楚明白的语段是很不一样的。
5.用词高级化 高考对词汇运用的要求越来越高,活用词比比皆是。

AIbrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was three years old。
At first his parents,like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school。
They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates。
Despite his disability,and his parents’ doubts,Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So,I pestered (缠着) my parents until they finally let me go to school。

AVampires (吸血鬼)Vampire stories go back thousands of years。
The acts we now associate with vampires, such as rising from the grave and drinking blood, were popularized by eastern European stories。
Most early cultures created stories to explain things they didn’t understand。
For example,hair and nails continue to grow after people die, which has already been proved possible by modern science。
These facts were unknown to most people in the 19th century, however。
As a result, the legends surrounding such mysteries were kept alive。
Count DraculaIn 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker's novel Dracula was published, spreading the vampire stories to a mass audience. In the novel,the Count Dracula of Transylvania, a 500—year-old vampire,has drunk his country dry and must move to England in search of new victims. Dracula means “son of the dragon” or “son of the devil” in Romania。

湖北省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练:阅读理解(1) 阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio小儿麻痹症when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates. Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (缠着my parents until they finally let me go to school.” Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education. However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition. In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架, corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖. Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. “I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.” Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55. 1. Why did Ibrahim’s parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? A. There was a lot of housework for him to do. B. They had no money to pay for his tuition. C. There were not enough schools in the country. D. They were afraid the students would make fun of him. 2. How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated? A. He went to school on his wheelchair. B. He went to school on his parents’ bicycle. C. He walked to school with the support of his hands. D. He walked to school using a pair of crutches. 3. Ibrahim’s education was interrupted because of his _____.A. parents’ doubtsB. lack of tuitionC. physical disabilityD. terrible mood 4. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. A long way to goB. Determined to learnC. The only disabled studentD. I did not like that B Recently, online high schools in America have sparked (激发a debate about whether or not taxpayers’money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs. Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses. However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs. Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help theyneed as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with. Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates (顾及students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette (礼节, and will be treated differently by their peers. Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases. 5. What is the passage mainly about? A. Whether students should study at online schools. B. Whether online schools should be allowed to exist. C. Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools. D. Whether traditional schools should be replaced. 6. According to the passage, online schooling _____. A. is helpful to students living in remote regions B. allows students to work together C. makes it possible for students to get immediate help D. develops students’ critical thinking 7. According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____. A. might lose interest in learning B. would play online games C. could not receive teachers’ help D. could not become fully developed 8. What is the author’s attitude? A. Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all. B. Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools. C. Taxpayers’ money should be spent on online schools conditionally. D. Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways. C With the development of society and economy, animals and their habitats are getting pushed aside as households decrease in size and increase in number. Small numbers of people per household on average use more energy and goods per person. Greater numbers of households require more natural resources for construction. The possible result of this problem may be insufficient natural resources to meet consumer demand without endangering habitats important to biodiversity. Personal freedom and social choice may come at huge environmental cost. Direct costs include visible damage to animal habitats and plant life. Indirect costs include the release of more greenhouse gases. The effects of such “personal freedom and social choice” have already surfaced in south-west China’s Wolong Nature Reserve. In Wolong, they found that a reduced average household size was directly tied to an increase in homes, and thus an increase in the amount of firewood consumed for cooking and heating. The rise in wood fuel use has contributed to disappearance of forests and to the loss of habitats for giant pandas. Curious about whether other parts of the world were experiencing similar phenomena, they got the support of a team of researchers including Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich, well-known for his population studies, to find out the household dynamics in 141 countries between 1985 and 2000. Their study proved that the difficult choice of Wolong is part of a global trend. In the 76 countries considered biodiversity “hotspots”, such as the United States, Brazil, Australia, and Kenya, the number of households grew by 3.1% every year, while the population increased just 1.8%. Meanwhile, the number of people per home dropped from 4.7 to 4.0. The decline in householdsize has resulted in 155 million additional households in hotspot countries, almost always limiting biodiversity. In the 10 non-hotspot countries ?those without high-density areas of animal and plant species?similar results were found, though on a lesser scale. Eulven in countries experiencing population decline, such as New Zealand, the number of households still increased because of a reduction in household size. 9. What does the underlined word “insufficient” mean?A. Plenty of.B. Not enough.C. Abundant.D. Little. 10. It can be learned from the passage that China’s Wolong Nature Reserve__________. A. is facing the same threat as many other parts of the world B. sets a good example in protecting animals C. is a place where giant pandas and their habitats are not affected D. is a place where animals and their habitats are seriously damaged 11. Which of the following is best supported by the last two paragraphs? A. Biodiversity is better kept in countries with smaller populations. B. Biodiversity is better kept in hotspot countries. C. The threat to nature from reduction in household size is a worldwide problem. D. Both hotspot countries and non-hotspot countries face the threat of the same scale. 12. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Reduced household size leads to an increase in household number. B. Modern homes consume more natural resources. C. How to meet consumer demand without endangering animals and their habitats. D. Reduction in household size as well as increase in household number threatens nature. D The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking? Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupidfriend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written. In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.” Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged tothink positive thoughts. The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking. 13. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry? AIt has produced positive results. It is a highly profitable industry. It is based on the concept of positive thinking. DIt was established by Norman Vincent Peale. 14. What does the word “underline” mean (Line 4, Para. 3)? Which of the following is TRUE about the Canadian researchers’ study? Encouraging positive thinking many do more good than harm. B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s mood. C. There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems. D. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem. 16. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy. BPeople can avoid making mistakes through meditation. CDifferent people tend to have different ways of thinking. DThe effects of positive thinking vary from person to person. E Most schools forbid chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores. This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath. Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. That’s because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can. That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath. Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: They’ve created a gum that could help us stay awake. Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes. The gum is easy to transport and it’s stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill, it doesn’t require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use. For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military (军队). The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ridein ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert. 17. The passage mainly talks about _____. A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in school B. new research on chewing gum C. different kinds of chewing gum D. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine 18. What does the underlined word “hits” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Touches.B. Attacks.C. Takes effect.D. Affects badly. 19. According to the passage, Stay Alert is a gum which can help people _____.A. stay awakeB. fight coldsC. cure headachesD. overcome nervousness 20. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. stay Alert is not easy to store B. stay Alert needs water to swallow C. stay Alert is available to the public now D. we can’t buy gums that cure bad breath now 1-5 DCBBC 6-10 ADCBA 11-15CDCBD 16-20ABCAD。
