高考英语专题复习：看懂图表你需要注意的几个要点专项练习AWhen Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?Why Difficult?When we wrong someone we know, even not intentionally, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when we’re acting as leaders, the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony—while an apology that is too little, too late, or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin. What, then, is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly?Why Now?The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture—apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles, cartoons, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies.Why Bother?Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a good, strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.Why Refuse?Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize, even when a public apologyseems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations, as we shall see, but it is a high-risk strategy.B“Happiness Advantage” EffectIn July 2010 Burt’s Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their in-boxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone’s anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex(大脑皮层), which isresponsible for effective problem solving.Burt’s Bees’s then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he’d send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He’d interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company’s values. He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang’s em phasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.That outcome shouldn’t surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set(思维模式), performance on nearly every level-productivity, creativity, involvement-improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness. “Once I get a promotion, I’ll be happy,” they think. Or, “Once I hit sales target, I’ll feel great.” But because success is a moving target—as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again——the happiness that results from success does not last long.In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the “happiness advantage” –every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. I’ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I’m not alone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one’s general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable. The habits you form, the way you interact with colleagues, how you think about stress---all these can be managed to increase your happiness and your chances of success.看懂图表你需要注意的几个要点专项练习参考答案A1. performance 解析：根据原文中的第一段的It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. 因此可以填performance。

冲刺2019届高考英语二轮复习核心考点特色突破：专题07 考前必刷说明文(21-32)及答案解析

冲刺2019届高考英语二轮复习核心考点特色突破专题07 考前必刷说明文（21-32）说明文专项21California Condor’s Shocking RecoveryCalifornia condors are North America’s largest birds, with wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning(铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.Electrical lines have been killing them off. "As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines," says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once.So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney(肾) failure and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood ove r several days.This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. "Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now," he says. "They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them."语篇解读：在20世纪80年代,电线和铅中毒导致美国加利福尼亚州的秃鹫濒临灭绝,但在科研人员的帮助下,秃鹫的数量有所回升,死亡率也有所下降。

1America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. but truly can't manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous__with__our__time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes,For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!1．The writer of this passage must be ________．A．an American B．a ChineseC．a professor D．a student2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.3．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.A．strict with timeB．serious with timeC．careful with timeD．willing to spend time4．A suitable title for this passage would probably be “________”．A．Friendships between ChineseB．Friendships between AmericansC．Americans' hospitalityD．Americans' and Chinese views of friendships2Now，we know that if we do not get enough vitamins，we are at the risk of developing a number of diseases. As a result，vitamin supplements(补品)，though expensive，are popular with people who worry that they are not getting enough vitamins from the foods they eat. But contrary to what many people think，medical experts have found little evidence that most supplements do anything to improve health or protect against diseases.In fact，medical experts warn that taking too many of some vitamins can be harmful. For example，too much vitamin E can cause bleeding. People should discuss what vitamins they take with their doctors，as some vitamins can produce harmful side effects when mixed with medicines.Experts，however，do say that sometimes vitamins can help prevent diseases. People who know they lack a particular vitamin should take vitamin supplements. Some older adults, for example，may not have enough vitamin B12.This is because，as people get older，their body loses its ability to take it from foods. Also，people who spend much time inside may need some extra vitamin D as the skin makes this vitamin from sunlight.Different vitamins are found in different foods. Vitamin A is found in fish liver oil.It's also in the yellow part of eggs. Sweet potatoes，carrots and other darkly coloured fruit and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin A．Vitamin B12 is found in green leafy vegetables and other foods，like fruit. Vitamin K can be found in pork products.In fact，for most people，a balanced diet can ensure enough vitamins our bodies need. So，it isimportant for us to eat a mixture of foods every day to ensure that we get enough vitamins.5．What is probably talked about before this passage?A．How many vitamins a person's body needs.B．How many vitamins some foods contain.C．The benefits that vitamins bring to our health.D．What people should do to stay healthy.6．From the passage，we can learn that medical experts advise people ________．A．never to take any vitamin supplementsB．to depend only on foods for their vitaminsC．not to take any vitamins together with medicinesD．to consult their doctors before taking vitamin supplements7．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Getting enough vitamins through a balanced dietB．Vitamin supplements do harm to our healthC．Vitamins are important to our healthD．Lacking vitamins can cause many diseases3It is a question that has confused parents for decades: Why do children refuse to eat greens?Now, two American experts believe they have the answer.After studying dozens of babies as they played with various objects, the researchers noted that they were far more unwilling to grasp plants than other things. They believe this is because evolution (进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has designed an inner defence mechanism (机制) that limits a child's contact with plants, they think. The researchers believe this is why babies in the study were afraid of grabbing plants and why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of broad beans.The findings are published in a paper by Dr Annie E. Wertz and Dr Karen Wynn, both psychologists at Yale University.They wrote，“Throughout human evolution…plants have been essential to human existence. Yet, for all of these benefits, plants have always caused very real dangers.”“Plants produce toxins (毒素) as defences that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants alsoemploy physical defences, such as thorns and poisonous oils that can damage tissues (组织) and cause effects over the whole body.”They added，“We predicted that babies may have behavioural strategies that reduce their exposure to dangers posed by plants by minimizing their physica l contact with plants.”To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects that were faked to look like plants also caused a slow response time.For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should come as welcome relief.8．What does the underlined word “wary” in the third paragraph mean?A．Curious. B．Afraid. C．Tired. D．Certain.9．What did early humans probably do to survive?A．They chose to make more artificial things.B．They forbade their children to touch plants.C．They chose to have little contact with plants.D．They tried very hard to escape from predators.10．Which is the best title for the text?A．Give children more fun things to doB．The survival instinct (本能) is to blameC．What kind of things are healthyD．Infants of eight to eighteen months old4Any diet on which you live that contains fewer calories than you need to get through the day—like an 800-calorie-per-day diet—can be dangerous. Diets that don't allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet—up to 30% of total calories—so no one should eat a completely fat-free diet.Don't have diets that restrict(限制) certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won't get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you'll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their life are because of weight.Others have an area of their life that they can't control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control—their exercise and food intake.People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and family when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level and doesn't lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren't any happier.Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an__extreme__diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives(轻泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person's health.11. Which of the following is NOT the reason that some people start and keep dieting?A. They think their trouble comes from their weight.B. They have an alcoholic parent.C. Other people praise them when they lose some weight.D. There is something they can't control except food intake.12. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph refers to “________”．A. a fat-free dietB. a special dietC. eating too muchD. eating too little13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A person needs about 800 calories each day.B. A person who doesn't eat bread is unhealthy.C. An improper diet may cause eating disorder.D. Fat takes up the most part of calories inside body.14. According to the passage, when people want to lose weight, they should________．A. avoid eating some food that can lead to being fatB. control their eating amount and timesC. have a healthy and balanced dietD. throw up some of what they eat5How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither thedesire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian (营养学家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient-dense (营养丰富的) foods，” she suggests. “Foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely coloured sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods; the nutrient-dense ones are so excellent，” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets, which are based on one or two foods, are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength; they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.Morrissey also believes that trying to find a diet that will cure your illness, or make yourself a superwoman is a__fruitless__search,__so you will not achieve your aim. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace foods.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are the match, the spark, for the fuel，” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions (正确的比例). And if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless.”15．From the first paragraph we know that working women ________．A．think cooking is especially complicatedB．do not share the same views with registered dietitiansC．are busy and not interested in cookingD．are likely to eat healthfully16．In Paragraph 4 “a fruitless search” means “________”．A．an effort with no resultsB．a search for a diet without fruitC．a research on fruitless dietsD．a diet serving as medicine17．By saying “if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless”，the author means “________”．A．carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB．vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC．carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no useD．without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use6Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that's only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you__should__say__so__in__good__time,__for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!18. What's the main difference on dinner table between China and the West?A. On Chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork.B. You have your own plate of food in the West while in China everyone shares the dishes.C. You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time.D. The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.19. According to the passage, we can infer that ________．A. Chinese think it polite to put food into the plates of the guests with their own chopsticksB. Chinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plateC. people in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumedD. Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork20. The sentence, in Paragraph 2, “you should say so in good time” means “________”．A. you should say so happilyB. you should say so earlyC. you'd better say soD. you should say so kindly7“Clean your plate！”Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent. Often, it is accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa！” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate”，perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.According to news reports, the US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told the USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 per cent had no opinion; 20 per cent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. 70 per cent of those earning at least $150，000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 per cent of those earning less than$25，000 want smaller.It's not that working-class Americans don't want to eat healthily. It's just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.21．“Clean your plate！”in the first paragraph means “________”．A．to wash the plateB．not to eat too muchC．not to waste the foodD．to help the starving orphans22．What happened in the 1970s?A．The government recommended serving small portions.B．Americans began to realize the importance of health.C．Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve large portions.D．People in the United States began to gain weight.23．What does the survey indicate?A．Many poor Americans want large portions.B．20 per cent of Americans want smaller portions.C．70 per cent of Americans earn at least $150，000 per year.D．45 per cent of Americans earn less than $25，000 per year.8Food serves as a form of communication in two ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-coloured eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and mooncakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.24．According to the passage, sharing bread________．A．indicates a lack of foodB．can help to develop unityC．is a custom unique to rural areasD．has its roots in birthday celebrations25．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by________．A．using examplesB．making comparisonsC．analysing causesD．describing processes26．What is the passage mainly about?A．The custom of sharing food.B．The specific meaning of food.C．The role of food in ceremonies.D．The importance of food in culture.9Are 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 degree, 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 show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical(完全相同的) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We wouldsoon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.27．Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para.1?A．To some degree, intelligence is given at birth.B．Intelligence is developed by the environment.C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D．Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.28．It is suggested in this passage that________.A．unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligenceB．close relations usually have similar intelligenceC．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence29．In Para.1, the word “surroundings” means “________”.A．intelligence B．lifeC．environments D．housing30．The best title for this article would be “________”.A．On intelligenceB．What intelligence meansC．We are born with intelligenceD．Environment plays a part in developing intelligence答案：1【文章大意】本文通过事例分析说明了中美两国人在看待友谊方面有差异。

2019高考英语专题复习说明文阅读高分技巧课后练习新人教版说明文阅读高分技巧专项练习 A Most damagingly, anger weakens a person s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behavior. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger. Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels决斗as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person s awareness of insulting behavior on the part of another. Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG 脑电图measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal 额叶前部areas. Behaviorally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition 意向that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren t balanced and as a result of this, we re likely to react. And our behavioral response to angeris different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative. Most positive emotions are associated with approach behavior we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behavior we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are，the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behavior is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry 不对称of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy 同感towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation. 1. The “duels“ exam ple in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger_________. A. usually has a biological basis B. varies among people C. is socially and culturally shaped D. influences one s thinking and evaluation 2. What changes can be found in an angry brain A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted. B.Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas. C. Electrical activity corresponds to one s behaviour. D. Electrical activity agrees with one s disposition. 3. Which of the following is typical of offensive anger A. Approaching the source of anger. B. Trying to control what is disliked. C. Moving away from what is disliked. D. Feeling helpless in the face of anger. 4. What is the key message of the last paragraph A. How anger differs from other emotions. B. How anger relates to other emotions. C. Behavioral responses to anger. D. Behavioral patterns of anger.B Working with a group of baboons 狒狒in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake. She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being madeaware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did. The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching. This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive 认知的tasks not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information. The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning. 5. What is the first paragraph mainly about A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research. B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research. C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research. D. The significance of Dr.Carter’s research. 6. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task A. Those that have more experience. B. Those that can avoid potential risks. C. Those that like to work independently. D. Those that feel anxious about learning. 7. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4 A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning. B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities. C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them. D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate. 8. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______. A. storing information B. learning from each other C. understanding different people D. travelling between social groups 说明文阅读高分技巧专项练习参考答案A 考点考查科普知识类阅读。

2019届人教版高考英语复习《阅读理解》课时作业(14)含解析

课时作业14Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·郸城一高月考)When the Apollo astronauts (宇航员) landed on the Moon in 1969, millions of people were rather sad. The person to blame for this was an artist named Chesley Bonestell. For many years, Bonestell had been creating beautifully detailed paintings of the Moon and planets. Viewers of his artwork were unhappy because the real Moon did not look like Bonestell's pictures of it.As a space artist, Bonestell tried to make his drawings look exciting and as true as the Moon is. He worked closely with astronomers and scientists to get the most up-to-date scientific information available. But in the 1940s and 1950s, no one had ever seen another planet up close. Yet Bonestell's paintings looked so real that some people thought they were photographs.Even though Bonestell was interested in astronomy, he did not start out as a space artist. As a young man he studied architecture — the art and science of designing and making buildings. In 1938 Bonestell became a special effects artist in Hollywood. It was here that he learned he could improve his paintings by following the methods used in the movies.In 1944, a popular magazine published a series of Bonestell's paintings of the planet Saturn. He drew Saturn as if it were seen by someone standing on each of the planet's moons. The results were dazzling. Within a few years, Bonestell's artwork was appearing regularly in magazines and books on astronomy and space flight.Many of Bonestell's artworks had been right all along. But thebiggest surprise was the Moon. Someone asked Bonestell what he was thinking when he saw the first pictures from the Moon. “I thought how wrong I was！” he said. “My mountains were sharp (陡峭的), and they aren't on the Moon.”But he shouldn't have felt bad. No space artist had ever before taken so many people to so many faraway worlds. In the years just before the first manned space flights, Bonestell's artwork prepared people for the amazing space adventure to come.1．Bonestell made his space drawings ________.A．from a very early ageB．by copying photographsC．with the help of scientistsD．in order to make a living2．The underl ined word “dazzling” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “________”．A．doubtful B．wonderfulC．terrible D．worrying3．Bonestell's success lay in the fact that ________.A．he created a new drawing skillB．he helped finish the first space flightC．he made space travel more popularD．he helped bring space closer to people4. What would be the best title for the text?A．The space art of Chesley BonestellB．The first men on the MoonC．The journeys of the Apollo astronautsD．Spacewalking: through an astronaut's eyes答案与解析本文介绍了一个太空艺术家Chesley Bonestell的作品。

专题二阅读七选五训练1 说明文(Ⅰ)A(2019·厦门外国语学校适应性考试)Being Left－handed in a Right－handed WorldThe world is designed for right－handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 1The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery.Since scientists have noticed that left－handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left－handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it.2 In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands.There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random.Historically，the left side and left－handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. 3 In some areas，the left hand became known as the “unclean”hand.In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand.For example，Jesus sits at God's right side.God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement.Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved.In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left－handed person at the start of a journey. 4 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary.In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite.5 People come to realize that left－handedness is natural.People even noticed that many famous people are left－handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin.Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better.The left－handedness is more easily adaptable to the right－handed world as well.Being left－handed is no longer a sad story now; instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.A. In other words，left－handers are born that way.B．Left－handedness used to be regarded as a disability.C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied.D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities?E．Why do some parents force their left－handed children to become right－handed whenwriting?F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left－handedness like before.本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了人们使用左手的原因，过去对左撇子的误解以及现如今人们不再像以前那样拒绝左撇子了。

Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polye thylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic. ＂1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A. They take plastics as their everyday food.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They can consume plastics.D. They wind up in landfills.2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A. help to raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.【文章大意】本文为说明文。

Passage3(2016·新课标卷III)If you are a fruit grower —or would like to become one —take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.28. What can people do at the apple events?A. Attend experts’ lectures.B. Visit fruit-loving families.C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.D. Taste many kinds of apples.29. What can we learn about Decio?A. It is a new variety.B. It has a strange look.C. It is rarely seen now.D. It has a special taste.30. What does the underlined phrase ＂a pipe dream＂in Paragraph 3 mean?A. A practical idea.B. A vain hope.C. A brilliant plan.D. A selfish desire.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show how to grow apples.B. To introduce an apple festival.C. To help people select apples.D. To promote apple research.【文章大意】作者向人们介绍了一个节日－－Apple Day。

2 But there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive （冒犯性的)or illegal aims.Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers。

3 Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable，you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit.Remind your children that online friends are still strangers.Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert(警惕)．4 So it’s likely that your children may know more than you do.We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets and the interactive areas of websites，like chat rooms and message boards，which are especially strange.5 Chatters love to use abbreviations(缩写）such as: atb — all the best，bbfn — bye bye for now，gr8 — great,Idk —I don’t know，kit — keep in touch，paw - parents are watching,lol —laugh out loud。

By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. "Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing." she said, "but the type of phytoplankton is changing."（1）What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.（2）What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.SensitiveB.BeneficialC.SignificantD.Unnoticeable（3）What can we learn from the passage?A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B.Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changesC.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climateD.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changesB.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chainC.To explain the effects of climate change on oceansD.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton2.
