A(2020·潍坊市高三统考)When traveling on a budget, every dollar counts.Unfortunately, the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings. Don't let that stop you from taking your dream vacation, though.According to Jeff Klee, CEO of , there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don't wait until the last minute, as that rarely works out，” he said in a statement.“But beyond that, you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”Still, that's easier said than done. Finding the most costefficient time to book is tough. Luckily, somebody did the math — so you don't have to. Data crunchers from the online travel agency surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.Here's what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip, they start dropping at the 105day mark.That said, you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But hold on! You'll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.According to , you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick. After that date, airfares will begin to increase again. And don't even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time, as prices will be soaring.So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next dream vacation, and book accordingly.Your wallet will thank you — guaranteed.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

[史地自然型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)(一)The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful ones in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan Opera House in New York City someday, and they work hard to become well known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in the newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theatre are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theatre is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.1．This passage mainly introduces ________.A．a mountain cityB．young musiciansC．an opera houseD．the tourism in Santa Fe2．Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because ________.A．the music quality is highB．they enjoy the climate thereC．they want to be famousD．they like the scenery there3．It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because ________.A．it is only a very small placeB．it is between the mountains and the desertC．all the seats are sold for every showD．musicians there are from the best orchestras4．From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．the opera house is open without any roofsB．musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC．the government advertises to attract more musiciansD．performances are held in Santa Fe Opera only after it is dark(二)All around the world, shoppers flock to WalMart to buy everyt hing.In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store's electricity.It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coatedwith heatreflective paint, makes this WalMart a green giant.The laws o f economics suggest that WalMart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the prices of all kinds of goods.It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing.“One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees，” says WalMart's former CEO Lee Scott.“If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day they have made a huge difference.”Scott wants WalMart to do its part too.He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse gas emissions(排放物) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient.He wants WalMart's fleet(车队) of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015.Factories that show WalMart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain.WalMart says it's working with consumerproduct manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from WalMart's controversial labour and health insurance practices.But it's not just window dressing, because WalMart sees profits in going green.Scott says，“This_is_a_business_philosophy,_not_a_social_philosophy.We don't go where we don't think there's great interest in change.”Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting WalMart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining.He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护) WalMart from bad press about its contribution to global warming.“By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything，” he says.“At some point businesses will be held responsible for the action they take.”Meanwhile, should WalMart succeed in shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company would profit.5．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．Lee Scott is WalMart's present CEOB．there are 5, 200 stores in the worldC．WalMart has a great influence on the world marketD．WalMart has more than 7,000 trucks all over the world6．What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourth paragraph?A．WalMart predicts huge profits in its green activity.B．WalMart's green activity is just window dressing.C．WalMart aims to solve its healt h insurance practices.D．WalMart doesn't have any social responsibility at all.7．What will WalMart probably do in the future?A．Reduce air pollution in its present stores.B．Give favourable treatment to its consumers.C．Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.D．Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.8．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Provide the background of the green plan.B．Stress the purpose of WalMart's green plan.C．Present the risks that WalMart is facing now adays.D．Analyse the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.(三)Imagine living in a city made of glass. No, this isn't a fairy tale. If you could grab your diving gear and swim down 650 feet into the Pacific Ocean off the coastof Washington State, you would witness the secret world of glass reefs.The reef you'd be looking at is made up of glass sponges(海绵). But how can animals be made of glass? Well, glass is formed from a substance called silica. The sponges use the silica found in ocean waters to build glass structures that will give them shape and support. Be careful! Some of the fragile creatures are up to 200 years old.When sponges die, new ones grow on top of the pile of old ones. Over centuries, a massive and complex reef takes shape. Some sponges look like wrinkled trumpets, while others look like overgrown cauliflowers or mushrooms.Dr Paul Johnson, who discovered the Washington reef in 2007, also found other surprises such as bubbles of methane(甲烷) gas flowing out of the seafloor nearby. The methane feeds bacteria, and the bacteria feed the glass sponges.“It's a new ecosystem we know nothing about，” said Dr Johnson.The reef of yellow and orange glass sponges is crowded with crabs, shrimps, starfish, worms, snails, and rockfish. The glass reef is also a nursery for the babies of many of these creatures and was called a “kindergarten” by scientists.Many animals that live in the reef hang around for a long time, just like the sponges. Rockfish, for example, live for more than 100 years. Scientists are just beginning to study all the species that call the reef home.The Washington coast isn't the only place where a living glass reef has been found. The first was discovered in Hecate Strait off the coast of British Columbia in 1991. Scientists all over the world were stunned to see it.9．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Manmade cities under the seaB．The world under the seaC．Glass “cities” under the seaD．Creatures under the sea10．It can be learned that the glass reef ________.A．is made up of a kind of materials called spongesB．is a work of art made by some American scientistsC．is a new ecosystem people are not familiar withD．was first discovered off the coast of Washington State11．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The sponges must feel soft.B．Silica comes from animals' body fluid.C．Methane is harmful to glass sponges.D．Glass sponges depend on the bacteria for a living.12．Why did scientists call the glass reef a “kindergarten”？A．Because the babies of many sea creatures grow well there.B．Because thousands of children visit it every year.C．Because it is crowded with snails and rockfish, etc.D．Because all the species call the reef home.13．What does the underlined word“stunned”in the last paragraph mean?A．Greatly surprised.B．Extremely scared.C．Highly satisfied.D．Very pleased.专题限时训练(三十四)【史地自然型阅读理解(二)】(一)【文章大意】 Santa Fe 歌剧院虽然小，而且又是敞篷式的，但在美国却很著名，因为许多优秀的年轻歌手都想在这里一展歌喉从而一举成名。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校高考英语二轮专题复习精品阅读理解部分之限时训练（四）阅读理解A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin. Amphibians(两栖动物), animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo. Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1 a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained. The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson believes that oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseasesD. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.65. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB.improving athletes’ performanceC. detectingoxygenD. increasing level of oxygen66. What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?A. NegativeB. DoubtingC.Positive D. Hesitating67. The best title of the passage may be _______.A. Great Findings Benefit Athletes A LotB. Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC. First Known Animal Breathes Through SkinD. Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）A farmer had some puppies (小狗) he needed to sell.

People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation. Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital （婚姻的） status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad. Title: People on the 71参考答案阅读理解64----67 ACCD完形填空36－40 CBADB; 41－45 ABCCC; 46－50 DBADA; 51-55 DDAAB任务型阅读：71. move, 72. history, 73. increasing, 74.richer/wealthier, 75.

专题限时训练(二十一)[社会生活型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)AIncreased use of the Internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils' capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar.Cranfield School of Management found almost 6 in 10 schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism (剽窃)．The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised fresh concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of International Management Development at Cranfield, said, ‚Our rese arch shows that technology obsession prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning.‚Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.‛The report revealed that socalled ‚textspeak‛was increasingly finding it was into pupils' school work.3 in 10 students admit to using text message short cuts, such as ‚r u ok‛ in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils' writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as ‚innit‛and ‚Gr8‛ were re gularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their phones in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.1. The underlined word ‚undermining‛in the first paragraph can best be replaced by ‚________‛．A．determiningB．keepingC．weakeningD．increasing2. It can be inferred from what Kakabadse said that ________．A．he is in favour of students' mobile phone usage at schoolB．he believes schools are responsible for technology obsessionC．the research finds a new way to improve school managementD．it is hard to limit students' mobile phone usage at school3. What can we learn from the passage?A．Most students' writing skills are becoming worse.B．Text message language may affect pupils' language skills.C．Students like to invent new words in their writing.D．30% of pupils often send text messages when studying.4. The passage is mainly about ________．A．the negative effect of technology on students' studyB．technology's positive influence on students' achievementC．the importance of online social communicationD．the rapidly growing role of communication technologies5. What's the attitude of the author to the problem?A．Optimistic.B．Approving.C．Anxious.D．Tolerant.BAn ‚apple polisher‛is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are ‚apple polishers‛，including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as ‚applepolishing‛—‚s oftsoaping‛ or ‚butteringup‛. A gift is just one way to ‚softsoap‛ somebody, or to ‚butter him up‛. Another th at is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and satdown. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.1. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with ‚applepolishing‛？A．A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.B．An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.C．A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.D．A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.2. What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell's example?A．Everybody can be an ‚applepolisher‛．B．Cromwell was not a good ‚applepolisher‛．C．George Fox and his party were not ‚applepolishers‛．D．There are people who don't like being ‚applepolished‛．3. Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author?A．Too much flattery can carry us away.B．Flattery is too empty to do people any good.C．Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.D．Flattery is one of the ways to applepolish people.4. Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?A．Because he was sick of his normal life.B．Because he disliked being overpraised any more.C．Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.D．Because he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.5. Who does the author think that flattery can do good to?A．Those who are politicians or in high offices.B．Those who lack confidence.C．Those who are really excellent.D．Those who think highly of themselves.COver 70 per cent of the ‚dou ble singlechild couples‛ in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey.Women of China magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the ‚singlechild‛generation, the Morning Post reports. The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4，000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 per cent have kids.Results show that 71.9 per cent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids.Grown up as the ‚singlechild‛，the only child in a family since the family planning policy which was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents.The parent s of the ‚singlechild‛ generation focused more on theirchildren's physical wellbeing rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists.The research also found that the ‚double singlechild couples‛follow a rather traditional value system.Survey shows that 27.5 per cent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 per cent two to five years, and 20 per cent didn't tie the knot until dating for five years. Also, 30 per cent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 per cent were introduced by someone.Since their marriage is based on enduring relationships, 65.2 per cent of the husbands and 62.9 per cent of the wives think that compromise(妥协)and tolerance(宽容) are necessary in their marriage. Meanwhile, 21.7 per cent of the husbands and 37.1 per cent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage.1. The best title for the passage should be ‚________‛．A．Mum and Dad, take care of my kid pleaseB．Double singlechild couplesC．The problem of the single childD．A recent survey by Women of China2. Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?A．The majority of the ‚double singlechild couples‛ in China depend much on their parents.B．The parents of the ‚singlechild‛generation cared more about their study and education.C．Onefifth of the couples surveyed didn't get married until dating for five years.D．All the couples surveyed have university education and 30 per cent of them were schoolmates.3. Which of the following descriptions about ‚double singlechild couples‛is TRUE?A．They are single children in either family and they are independent on their parents.B．They are single children in either family and they are dependent on their parents.C．They have at least two children and can afford to support themselves.D．They, who were introduced by someone, follow a rather traditional value system.4. The traditional value system mentioned in the passage refers that________．A．parents are concerned about their children's physical life as well as the spiritual lifeB．most couples were introduced by someone and made dating for a long time C．once begun, ‚double singlechild couples‛ marriage will last foreve rD．the couples think that compromise and tolerance are necessary in their marriage5.

2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题2 阅读理解35（25分钟）AThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you.Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expens ive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” the y told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what hadhappened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.1. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.B. give some suggestions to the three thievesC. state the fact that she was careless with the moneyD. tell the thieves hardly any money was available2. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bag.B. The handbag itself.C. The papers and notes in the bag.D. The check books in the bag.3. What can we conclude about the police?A. They think the case quite common.B. They show sympathy for thewoman.C. They have doubts about human nature.D. They are unable to find thethieves.4. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warning.B. To express her affection for her valuable bag.C. To call people’s attention to their belongings.D. To complain about the fall of morality.BJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfillthe duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50per cent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels ofresponsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.1. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.B. Work sharing requires more working hours.C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employer’s decision.2. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time workmainly because _________.A. they were over ideal working agesB. they sought higher social statusC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family3. In job sharing the partners should __________.A. enjoy equal social statusB. have similar work experienceC. know each other very wellD. keep in touch with each other4. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. discuss how to provide more jobsB. describe job sharing in generalC. recommend job sharing to womenD. compare job sharing with work sharingCThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the C hild ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmother’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask oursel ves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves.Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. T hey are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” W e may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain why we become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences one’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childhood4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to __________.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fun”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”DCAD ABCB ADBD。

专题限时训练(二十三)[科普知识型阅读理解(二)](限时：25分钟)ALast night's meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.‚My family was so frustrated，‛ admitted town resident Duane Cosby.‚We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.‛Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs，snakes，etc.For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的)birds.According to the International DarkSky Association，‚100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.‛Countless more animal casualties(伤亡) result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.1．It happened last night that ________．A. the city's lights affected the meteor watchingB．the meteors flew past before being noticedC．the city light show attracted many peopleD．the meteor watching ended up a social outing2．What do the astronomers complain about?A．Meteor showers occur less often than before.B．Their observation equipment is in poor repair.C．Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.D．Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.3．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration paths.B．Animals' living habits may change suddenly.C．Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D．Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.4．Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________．A．lessen the chance of getting cancerB．create an ideal observation conditionC．ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD．enable all creatures to live in harmony5．What message does the author most want to give us?A．Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.B．Great efforts should be made to save energy.C．Human activities should be environmentally friendly.D．New equipment should be introduced for space study.BStudying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. ‚Driving to work is more risky，‛she insists. ‚And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres，‛ she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. ‚I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city，‛ she explains. ‚The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.‛Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. ‚I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it，‛ she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. ‚I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1，000°C, so if you hesitated, your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.‛And what about the future? ‚I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet.And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic，‛ she says. ‚I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.‛ In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.1. Hazel's claim that ‚driving to work is more risky‛than exploring volcanoes shows that ________．A．people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the pastB．Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself inC．there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel livesD．Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?A．When she was visiting Italy.B．When she was at school.C．When she was twenty.D．When she saw Vesuvius.3. The underlined word ‚These‛(in Paragraph 3) refers to ‚________‛．A．melting ice capsB．volcanic eruptionsC．changes in sea levelD．higher temperatures4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna, she had to ________．A．take a dangerous routeB．take an unnecessary riskC．leave her boots behindD．walk for ten hours around the mountain5. In the future, Hazel wants to ________．A．revisit volcanoes she knowsB．go on holiday to the AntarcticC．find a less dangerous jobD．discover new things about volcanoesCOnline clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best, for them using new software which combines with their webcam or smart phone to form a ‚3D tape measure‛.Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a programme which can take precise waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.Using the person's height as a starting point, the software will be able to build up and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on the waist size or a ‚small/medium/large‛scale, which rely on limitedmeasurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.Shoppers and retailers(零售商) who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服装) and send back illfitting clothes, researchers claimed.The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.The software will not store or transmit the image to the Internet, but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said, ‚The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they're unsure which one will fit best.‛1. What is the essential part of a ‚3D tape measure‛？A．A software.B．A webcam.C．A microphone.D．A smart phone.2. What can we learn about t he ‚3D tape measure‛？A．It will store or transmit the image to the Internet.B．It is based on the buyer's perception of their size.C．It will be a coworking production.D．It uses a person's weight as a starting point.3. Compared with the traditional sizing system, a ‚3D tape measure‛ is________．A．quicker B．more preciseC．more beautiful D．more vivid4. How can the ‚3D tape measure‛ benefit online shoppers?A．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.B．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.C．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.D．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.5. What is the right order for a shopper to form a ‚3D tape measure‛？①to take a photo with a webcam②to activate the software③to enter his/her height④to judge his or her size by analysing his or her imageA．①②③④ B．②①③④C．②③①④D．②③④①专题限时训练(二十三)A【要点综述】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了城市的光污染对日常生活、天文学家的工作以及动物的生活都产生了消极的影响。

高三英语二轮复习阅读理解限时强化练习25(含答案版)
新高考高中阅读强化限时训练25阅读理解+七选五（含参考答案）限时：35分钟满分：50分阅读（共两节，满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5 分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings changes. The languages of the world’s main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.( ) 1. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than20( ) 2. In “the languages of the world’s main culture s are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.” the verb “replace” means “_______”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is( ) 3. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major world language, _______.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lesson s at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more参考答案：CBBBHave you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (飞蝗), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.( ) 4. Locusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by their enemies because _______.A. they are powerful enoughB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they take on the same colours as cropsD. they fly very fast( ) 5. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes( ) 6. What does the underlined word “invisible” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Can’t be seen.B. Can be seen.C. Can’t move.D. Can’t change.( ) 7. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because_______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find itD. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies参考答案：CAACCCaptain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty. He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map. He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. James Cook was born in England in 1728. His parents were poor farm workers. When James was 18, he found a job on a coastal ship. He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old, and then he joined the navy. He fought in Canada in a war against France, and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada. In 1768 King George made him Captain of a ship and sent him to the Pacific. He was gone for nearly three years. When he returned, he was regarded as a national hero.He started his third voyage in 1776. On this trip he visited Hawaii. He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island. Then he mapped the western coastof North America. After that he returned to Hawaii. Unfortunately there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting. In the end Captain was killed in a clash with the local.( ) 8. In which order did James Cook do the following things?a. Fought against France.b. Made maps of some of the eastern coast of Canada.c. Mapped the coast lines of Australia and New Zealand.d. Mapped the coast of North America.e. Was made Captain of a ship.f. Work on a coastal ship.A. f a b e d cB. f a b d e cC. f a b e c dD. a b e c f d( ) 9. He started exploring when _______.A. he worked on a coastal shipB. he was 18 years oldC. he was sent to the PacificD. he served in the navy( ) 10. Which of the following is NOT true?A. He made the first maps of the Pacific Ocean.B. He went on three long important voyages in his life.C. He was the first English man to reach Hawaii.D. He was respected by his people.( ) 11. He was considered a national hero because of _______.A. his experience in CanadaB. his being the first European to visit HawaiiC. his heroic deathD. his devotion to exploration on the Pacific Ocean参考答案：CDADDWhen you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalizewhich results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others.( ) 12. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_______”.A. decoratingB. removingC. personalizingD. protecting( ) 13. Princeton University created bots to ______.A. explain why different websites are personalizedB. offer users some advice on how to protect privacyC. assess how personalization is affecting Internet usersD. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites( ) 14. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization?A. Google and YahooB. eBay and GoogleC. Amazon and eBayD. Amazon and Yahoo( ) 15. What is this passage mainly about?A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages.C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated.D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient.参考答案：BCAB第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16 We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.19 According to some psychologists, if parents are always tellinga child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or“20 ”A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.C. What people want to express is like this.D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.E. It needs exercise.F. You are such a smart child.G. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.参考答案：GEDBF。

2019高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题2 阅读理解34
2018高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练（江苏专用）专题2 阅读理解 34（25分钟）AThere is, for many of us, a moment in life when we make a choice that changes us forever. This moment marks a turning point, when we realize that the life we're living is not a mirror of who we really are.For some, the moment comes as a result of something dramatic: the sudden loss of a job, or the death of a loved one. For others, they have to deal with difficult situations, such as financial hardship. In these challenging times, it's more critical(关键时刻的) than ever for us to seize the possibility of positive change. As I travel and talk to people about their lives, I often see a distant, vacant look in their eyes -- a look that says “I’m so busy trying to survive my life that no soul left to live it”.As a result, we end up feeling lonely. Yet we keep on going the way we've been going. We tolerate high levels of stress at work, take important relationships for granted, or put our health needs on hold. We get so caught up in the details of living that our busyness becomes an excuse from the inner voice that begs us to listen. When you finally pay attention to that little voice and begin to make even small changes, you will slowly improve yourself.To start positive change, you need the power of your mind. I've come up with a five-step strategy that will help you. You will be able to identify what you want and then go after it. It's easier than you might think.1. Reset your happiness set point. Don't limit yourself! When I decided that I wanted more control over my life, I set goals in physical, emotional, financial, professional, material, and play. I challenged myself to consider every possible choice. Imagine things you've never believed you could achieve. Don't let your past determine your future.2. Trust your courage. Too often, when you're first learning to take control of your life, you doubt yourself. It's important to develop a stro ng connection with your inner guidance system. I've heard many stories about the persistent voice inside your head.3. Take action. Once you have set goals, adjusted your beliefs, and got ready, youcan start making things happen. Again, turn to those people you respect -- the ones achieving what you desire -- for support and guidance. They will both inspire you and give you practical advice on what steps you need to take.4. Have faith. Believe that the positive energy of grace will support your efforts to improve your life. When you've done all you can, let go and trust that the right result will occur. When we have faith, we give up the need to be in control, and we set ourselves up to actually enjoy the process of change.5. Be patient. This can be the toughest step. It's not easy to trust that your life will improve in a best way. Remind yourself of the benefits of patience. In my experience, those life changes are always worth the wait.1. What does the author intend to say in the second paragraph?A. The start of some turning points in one’s life is caused b y crisis.B. Loss of a job or the death of a loved one are all dramatic things.C. No one can live a life without any turning points.D. No one can predict his future of being good or not.2. In the author’s opinion, we should ______________.A. adjust our beliefs from time to timeB. always control ourselve s for anythingC. keep on going the way we are goingD. seize the challenging times to live an active life3. The author suggests that when setting your happiness set points, you should _______.A. know the limitation of your set pointB. build self-confidence without doubtC. limit your goals in different waysD. consider every possible choice with care4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. When you've done all you can, you may believe that the right result will occur.B. When you set goals, and take action, it is possible to make things happen.C. When you first learn to take charge of your life, you will always doubt yourself.D. If things do not happen in a way that is best, patience is always worth the wait.B“To be or not to be”．Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world．They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman．To be or not to be----to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely．A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally．He answered it by saying, “I think, therefore I am．”But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said, “To be is to be in relations．” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive．To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and inten sity （强度） of our relations．Unfortunately, we are so constituted that we get to love our routine．But other than our regular occupa tion, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent．So far as other things are concerned----poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs----you are dead．On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest----even more, a new accomplishment----you increase your power of life．No one who is deeply interested in different k inds of subjects can remain unhappy．The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest．Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend．But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too．Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also．If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life．But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination．To be or not to be ---- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, that depends on ourselves．Let us widen and intensify our relations．While we live, let1．What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?A．Argue against an idea．B．Put forward an idea．C．Introduce some famous sayings．D．Explain some famous say ings．2．What does the underlined word “pessimist” most probably mean?A．Somebody who always expects the worst to happen．B．Somebody who is always interested in making new friends．C．Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination．D．Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life．3．Which of the following behaviors is most probably NOT encouraged by the author?A．Thinking more than your own business．B．Caring only about your physical welfare．C．Reading good novels．D．Listening to fine music．4．What is the main idea of the passage?A．To be or not to be, that is a question．B．I think, therefore I am．C．To be is to be in relations．D．A man dies as often as he loses a friend．BABCCThe diversity of the original American Indian settlers was not quite as great as that of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries when waves of European, Asian and unwilling African immigrants arrived on American shores. However, the First Americans did have more far-going origins that were ever suspected. For example, Brace’s studies have revealed that the Blackfoot, Iroquois, and other tribes from Minnesota, Michigan, Ontario, and Massachusetts came down from the Jomon, a prehistoric people of Japan. The Inuit in the far north and tribal groups who once lived down the Eastern seaboard into Florida appear to be a later branch from the trunk of the Jomon family tree. The Athabaskan-speaking people from the Yukon and northern-western Canada, who spread as far south as Arizona and northern Mexico,appear to trace their origins to China. “Their facial shapes link them more closely to the living Chinese than to any other population in either part of the world,”says Brace.Johanna Nichols, a Professor of S lavic languages and literature at the University of California at Berkeley, says that new evidence from native languages throughout the New World strongly suggests that humans have been in the Americas since as early as 40,000 BC. She says that it is only along the west coast that language s appear to have come from immigrants who arrived after the ice age, 14,000 years ago.Nicho ls als o has some different ideas about the direction in which the country was settled. Breaking with the traditional view of migrations, she s ays that the inside of North America was colonized not only from Siberia but also from the south.To bolster her argument for an early settlement date, Nichols points to findings from the Monte Verde site in southern Chile. It has been dated at 12,500 years old, which means the area was occupied during the last ice age. And, the Monte Verde people would have needed at least 6,500 years to travel from Alaska to Chile. Yet, that only takes us back to about 19,000 years ago. Her research suggests a very high degree of language diversity is something that happens only with time. She insists that the approximately 150 distinct native American language families we know of today must have required at least 35,000 years to develop.1. In the first paragraph the writer uses the word “unwilling” to show that _______.A. the Africans came against the will of most AmericansB. the Africans came without the approval of their parentsC. the Africans were taken here against their own willD. the Europeans who came at the time didn’t want the Africans to come together2. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Athabaskan-speaking people?A. They were related to people living in Japan in prehistoric times.B. They were a branch from the trunk of the Jomon family tree.C. They have no links to any other people.D. They were thought to have certain links to the ancestors of the Chinese people.3. The underlined word bolster in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. useB. haveC. supportD. build4. From the passage we can know _______.A. people in the Americas today are believed to have probably come down onlyfrom the northB. Nichols strongly suggests that humans have lived in the Americas for about 6,500 yearsC. Nichols supports the traditional ideas about the direction in which the country was settledD. it surely takes a very long time for language diversity to come about CDCD。

2020;2020高考英语二轮（阅读理解）35分钟限时训练（6）及答案.阅读理解Words：318 难度系数：★★建议用时：7分钟Decisionmaking can be extremely difficult.Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures.In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view.Naturally，often comes a confrontation(冲突) situation，which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view.Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.Besides，Western decisionmaking goes mostly from top manag ement(管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker.However，in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.Based on “bottomup direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decisionmaking also comes from different communication styles.The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly.They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach.So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings.Thus Americans are often annoyedby the many meetings in many Japanese businesses.But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision.The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners，perhaps，lag(落后) behind as they take the time for indepth(深入的) planning. 1．A Japanese business bases its decision ________.A．on topdown directionB．on nothi ng but its workers’ viewsC．on bottomup directionD．only on its top leaders’ opinions解析：选C。

********************************************************结束BThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie.There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。
Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thomp son paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encourage him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompso n, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”60. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.B.

When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy’s a w inner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term,the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.64. How much did the lottery winner lose?A. One hundred dollars.B. Two hundred dollars.C. Three hundred dollars.D. Four hundred dollars.65. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.A. buy lottery ticketsB. make use of half-truthsC. not take anything at face valueD. not trust the Yucky Company66. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. final increaseB. big advantageC. large shareD. total saving67. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?A. False statements are easy to see through.B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.D. Advertisements are based on facts.参考答案64—67 ACAB*********************************************************结束DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.68. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food69. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly.B. The small bird.C. The bear.D. The fox.70. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet参考答案68—70 CAD*****************************************************结束。
