高一英语假期检测题十第二部份：阅读明白得（共 2 节，总分值40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分）ABefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme（极端的）. I found something that worked, though..There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a discussion in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension ( 紧张 ). He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying things.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed communication, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down . I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized （批评）him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher did n’t let him do what he knew well for the good of safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact.I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.1. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.A. was criticized for destroying thingsB. was told not to shout loudly at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension2. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?A. She didn’t want to make it worse.B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn’t thought of a good way3. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher’s feelingsD. avoiding saying critical words4. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.（声誉）B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.BCell phones：Is there a cancer link?Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes （疹子）to brain tumors ．Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证)．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels (标签) for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence （证据）that there’s much danger．”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been under way for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The final report should come out later this year，but data （数据）so far don’t suggest a strong link between cell phone use and cancer risk．5．From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because________.A．they have evidence that the use of cell phones can lead to cancerB．they feel surprised and alarmed about cell phone useC．some experts have given warningsD．cell phones are responsible for brain tumors6．By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cell phones” , Dr Martha Linet has the idea that_______.A．the connection between cell-phones and cancer has not been proved .B．cancer—warning labels should be on cell phonesC．there is a link between cell phones and cancerD．cell phones have nothing to do with cancer at all.7．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate? A．Optimistic． B．Objective（客观的）． C．Opposite． D． HopelessCIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs (海关) to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty ( 应该交税的). It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy （处世之道）. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have yo u been out of this country?”“About three months.”“And during that time you have bought nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”He seemed for a moment at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely un expected.“Where d id you get the watch?”I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath , I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER and it had, not naturally stopped. I had got into the market and bought for 12 shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice , without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate (没收) the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation,” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband (走私货). Just when I let out a sigh of relief, he began to search my luggage!8. When did the writer arrive at London Airport?A. In the early morning.B. Late at night.C. At noon.D. Late in the morning.9. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?A. He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.B. He must have noticed the writer's ugly watch.C. He wanted to embarrass the writer.D. He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.10. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?A. He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.B. He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.C. He didn't like the watch at all.D. He was interested in the watch.11. What is the tone of the writer’s story-telling ?A. Humorous.B. Indifferent.C. Serious.D. sadDOne of the most common complaints of people living in the cityis annoying neighbors. Here are some ways to handle noisy neighbors.Accept Some Degree of Apartment NoiseBefore getting worked up over the noisy neighbors in the apartment, make s ure to haverealistic expectations. Everyone living in an apartment building is bound to hear noise from other units' televisions, music, and children occasionally.Understand Noisy Neighbors from their point of viewIt's probably the case that the neighbor who is driving everyone crazy do esn't realize howfar his noise is carrying.Remember that noise level is difficult to control with children. Babies unavoidably cry in the middle of the night.Meet the Neighbors and Be FriendlyMaking a friendly gesture will surprisingly reduce apartment noise. Neighbors who knoweach other will probably be much more careful not to bother each other.Address Noise Calmly and Face-to-FaceIf a loud noise needs to be addressed, go to the offendingapartment personally and knock politely on the door. Being polite will usually bri ng a politeresponseReport Noisy Neighbors to the LandlordIf a noise issue becomes a constant problem or doesn't improve after a pe rsonal request,it's time to bring it up to management. Make sure to be objective and fair in your report, and beable to record the frequency of the problem and provide details about it.Things to Avoid when Dealing with a Loud NeighborThere are some “don’ts” when it comes to dealing life with a loud a partmentneighbor. Don't· Seek revenge(报复) or try to "outdo" a noisy neighbor· Complain to them face to face repeatedly about the same issue· Suffer in silenceDoing these things may work for some time, but they're never good long-term solutions.Instead, they will probably only exacerbate the situation.12. The author agrees that __________________________. .A. we could seek revenge on noisy neighborsB. families with children can control the noise level easilyC. friendly gesture has a good effect on reducing apartment noiseD. people are aware that their noise has a great effect on their neighbors13. The underlined word "exacerbate" in the last Paragraph is closest in meaning to _______ .A. worsenB. acceptC. improveD. red uce14. What should we do if a noise issue becomes a constant problem?A. Warn the noisy neighbor of the problem.B. Complain to the noisy neighbors repeatedly.C. Report the situation to the landlord objectively.D. Talk to the noisy neighbors face to face politely.15. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who are your apartment neighbors?B. How to be a popular apartment neighbor?C. How to deal with noisy apartment neighbors?D. How to make friends with apartment neighbors?第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）依照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

He took them straight to his pig, which ate them right up.

2016年高考高三英语月考卷十第Ⅰ卷（100分）第二部分阅读理解第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AMany people rely on a cup of coffee or two to wake them up in the morning or refresh them during the working day, but now a chemist has come up with a speedy alternative to drinking coffee.U.S. bi ochemist Ben Yu has created ‗Sprayable Energy‘,which claims to be the world‘s first caffeine-based topical energy spray. He said tired workers can spray a ‗shot‘ of caffeine onto their skin without experiencing a strong noise, taking in unnecessary calories or being stuck with a nasty aftertaste like they might get from drinking energy drinks or coffee.The tasteless caffeine spray is absorbed through the skin and spread through the body over a number of hours to deliver a caffeine hit that lasts longer than drinking a cup of coffee. The only active ingredient in the spray is caffeine, which is very similar to nicotine in structure. Each spray Sprayable Energy contains around a quarter of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, but apparently has the same effect as a full cup.―Sprayable Energy‖website said: ―The reason for this is our product is n‘t entirely metabolized (新陈代谢) by the liver before entering your system and becoming available to your body.‖Sprayable Energy‘s website recommends that users apply the spray in places where they normally spritz (喷) perfume, such as wrists, the neck or behind the ears, but warns users not to exceed 20 times a day.It claims that after spraying the product on the skin, users will feel awake and focus without being over-excited, which is common with coffee and energy drinks.21. Compared with an energy drink or a coffee, what is goo d about ―Sprayable Energy‖?A. It makes no noise.B. It contains lower calories.C. It has a good taste.D. It contains many active ingredients22. Which of the body may not be suitable to apply ―Sprayable Energy‖?A. The neckB. Behind the earsC. WristsD. Mouth23. What can we infer from the text?A. ―Sprayable Energy‖ contains caffeine as well as nicotine.B. The liver can metabolize in caffeine before it enters your system.C. Whenever you feel tired, you can spray the product.D. After spraying ―Sprayable Energy‖,you‘ll get rid of tiredness.BMost Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week. But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the severe traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding.The suffering of being stuck in traffic was possibly most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom drove early in the morning to the bride‘s home i n Zhejiang province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family‘s hometown for the wedding. By 4 p.m., Lv‘s wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv contacted the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way he could hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5:30 p.m., Lv and his bride said their vows on the side of the road wh ile Lv‘s family and friends witnessed the ceremony while listening to the radio.Lv wasn‘t the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train Wednesday. It calculated that 120,000 people gathered at Tiananmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag raising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175,000 tourists on a single day during Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.Chinese internet users routinely complain about the Golden Week holiday every year. As internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo: ―On the Great Wall, I‘m holding your hand, but I cannot see your face.‖24. What does the text mainly intend to tell us?A. A successful roadside wedding during the Golden Week.B. The popularity of traveling around during the Golden Week.C. The crowded situation in China during the Golden Week.D. The cause of the heavy traffic in China during the Golden Week.25. Lv, the groom, called the local radio because he wanted ________.A. to ask for helpB. to hold their wedding on the airC. to complain about the traffic conclusionD. to find someone to pick them up26.

A newspaperB. A textbookC. A travel brochureD. A TV interviewCThe King received news one day that a group outlaws were committing some wrong and cruel acts on a distant border of the kingdom.The news angered the King. He quickly gathered his army and started off for the distant border, leaving his kingdom unguarded and without a ruler.On their long march, the King and his army made camp for the night wherever they could. One rainy day they stopped in a forest, seeking shelter under the trees. They unsaddled (卸鞍) their horses and steamed some peas, which they fed to their steeds in long narrow containers.A monkey in a tree nearby saw the horses being fed, and he came racing down, filled both paws with peas, then climbed quickly up to a branch and settled down to eat. But as he opened one paw, a single pea fell to the ground. Without hesitation, my monkey jumped from his branch to hunt for the lost pea, and in doing so, he dropped all the other peas in his paws.The King observed this foolish monkey and was greatly amused. He timed to his minister and asked: ―Friend, what do you think of this monkey who would give up so much to retrieve so little?‖―That is the way of the foolish,‖ replied the minister, ―they will give up much that is certain for a little that is uncertain.‖Then he added, ―And we, Great King, are we not like the monkey in the tr ees. To gain so little we neglect so much exactly like the monkey with its pea.‖The King understood the blame and realized how very foolish he had been himself to leave his kingdom unguarded. He gave out orders to his men, and he and his army returned at once to their country.28. What did the King do after he knew a group of bad guys were doing something illegal?A. He asked the minister fro advice.B. He led his army to defeat them.C. He found some monkeys to feed.D. He looked for shelters in the forest.29.

A Battle against the OutlawsC. A Simple-minded MonkeyD. An Unguarded KingdomDThere are some strange and wonderful rules in law books around the world. When you are traveling, it‘s always best to know before you go. Not only could this keep you out of trouble, but it can also help you get the most out of your holiday.1. In Victoria, Australia, it‘s illegal to change a light bulb unless you are a licensed electrician. People who disobey this law could receive a fine of up to AU$10 (￡5.50).2.

Here are the pros and cons.ProsThey can get in touch when necessary. The main benefit of having a phone is that your child can get in touch with you whenever you need to. 36 .They can call ring the emergency services if necessary. If your child is in immediate danger, they can use their phones to call not only you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit and could potentially save your child‘s life.37 . As long as your child remembers to do this, their phones won‘t cause distraction (分心) in class. Giving them a standard instead of a smart phone will also reduce the risk of of distraction.ConsThe latest smart phones can almost double as a computer. It means they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they used to.38 . All these characteristic could disturb your child‘s concentration if they play with them in class.Mobile phones could interrupt lessons. Many children, even through they are asked to do so, forget to turn off their phones during lessons and their phones may make sounds. 39 . Besides the distraction problem, mobile phones can also be used to look up answers on the Internet. 40 . The possibility of children having access to these during exams could be too attractive for pupils not to take advantage of.A. Mobile phones can be turned off or on to silent.B. Children use ordinary phones instead of smart phones.C. This allows you to feel they are safe and easy to reach.D. Without mobile phones, campus life would be less colorful.E. They have some other functions--a calculator and the ability to save notes.F. This not only annoys other pupils but also prevent them from learning well.G. Nowadays, children can not only text and make calls with their mobiles, they can also play games, surf the Internet and listen to music.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

When Jane 5 home that afternoon,I asked her the same question. She also replied with a long, 6 face but her answer was a little different as she announced,“I didn’t learn to 7 today.”What a disappointment for a little girl who thought she would 8 know how to read her little books after the first day of school. I had to explain to her that she would 9 learn to read but didn’t happen quite that fast.My 10 went back to my school days again.I could almost 11 the chalk dust in the air.I suppose few schools still use chalks and blackboards.

The doors of knowledge had been opened and we 19 great learning adventures. It is an 20 in our lives that most of us remember.

【关键字】高中河南省滑县第六高级中学高中英语限时练10阅读理解ANo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near . But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians mo ved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.1.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______.A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles2.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____.A. made the path wetB. made the path hardC. made the path wideD. made the path slippery3.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. Rolling the blocks with fat.4.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.BIn the 1930s, a lot of people in the were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called “Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from “Lexico” to “Alph” and then to “Criss Cross. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn’t have any real commercial success.In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the under its new name “Scrabble”.At first, it didn’t sell very wel l. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy’s department store in , Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy’s should stock(储备) the game and make an effort to call the public’s attention to it.As a result, “scrabble” became a big success in the and it soon spread to and then to other English-speaking countries.5. The text is mainly about ______.A. “Lexico”B. three menC. a word gameD. Alfred Butts6. Alfred Butts invented the game “Lexico” ______.A. to make himself famousB. to make spelling simplerC. when he was out of work and looking for a jobD. when he was playing word games to pass the time7. Who made “Scrabble” popular?A. Alfred Butts.B. Jack Strauss.C. Alfred Butts and Jim Brunot.D. Jack Strauss and Jim Brunot.8. When did Alfred Butts first put his game on the market?A. In 1939.B. In 1948.C. Before 1939.D. Between 1939 and 1948.二．完形填空As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can_9__ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way.

I followed him as he brought a plate of my mother’s home cooking to an elderly man named Frank on all major holidays, and when Frank was sick. As far as I know, their only connection was that Frank was an o ccasional customer at Dad’s small gas station. Frank’s home was a two-room house on the rough side of town with a rotten front porch（门廊）that you could fall through if you weren’t careful. Through his caring attitude, my father was teaching me to be a doctor, although neither of us knew it at the time.When I was 13, my father developed lung cancer. He brought home a diagram(图表) the doctor drew showing where his cancer was and told me that he was going to die.The big green oxygen tank with plastic tubing became a central feature of our living room next to his easy chair. Several months passed and his condition worsened. He asked me to take care of my mother when he was gone. He said, “I love you, son.” That night he died.When you’re 13 and your father dies, you have some choices to make. You can use the circumstance as an excuse for letting your behavior and grades go down the drain, or you can honor his memory and try to do something positive with yourself. I focused my energy on my school work and my goal of becoming a doctor.41.

Alice Boyle of the University of Arizona.To figure out the pressures that drive some birds to leave home for the season, Boyle examined 379 related species of flycatchers and compared their sizes, food types, habitats, migratory behaviors and whether or not they fed in flocks.To compare the birds, the researchers constructed a “supertree” showing the exact evolutionary（演化的）relationships among different species.A computer analysis then determined whether a particular species was migratory because it ran in the “family” or whether something in the bird’s environment was forcing it to leave eachseason.Boyle and her colleagues found that food scarcity was the number one issue that predicted a species’ migratory behavior.An alternative strategy that birds use to deal with food scarcity is to forage(四处搜寻) in flocks, because a group is more likely to find a new source of food than a lone individual.“If you are faced with food scarcity, you have two options,” Boyle said. “You can either forage with other birds, or you can migrate.”51. The passage mainly tells us ________.A. the real reason for birds’ migrationB. food scarcity that birds face todayC. how birds search for foodD. when birds migrate52. The scientists used to believe that birds migrate because ________.A. they want to search for the food they likeB. they can find more food in a different placeC. they can breed their young in a different placeD. the weather turns too cold53. The researchers constructed a “supertree” mainly to ________.A. compare the sizes of different birdsB. make out the relationships between different birdsC. find out what causes birds to leave each seasonD. predict when the birds were migratory54. Which of the following is true?A. All birds fly to non-breeding areas each year.B. There are 379 species of birds migrating.C. Two related species have the same behavior.D. Computers are used in the research work.55. The passage suggests that ________.A. different kinds of birds have different ways to migrateB. different kinds of birds migrate for various reasonsC. some birds can survive without migrating each seasonD. birds’ food sources are becoming rare all over the world参考答案完形填空21－30: CBDCD DBBDC语法填空31．him 32．sale 33．with 34．a 35．stuck 36．When 37．where 38．but 39．really 40．looking阅读理解41-45 DCCAB 46-50 BBCDD 51-55 AACDC。

She and her younger two brothers grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, as a close-knit family. As an excellent student, she was also a Girl Scout and a member of the local Methodist youth group. Hillary also enjoyed sports and was always interested in politics. She entered Wellesley College in 1965. Graduating with high honors, she moved on to Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action. While at Yale, she developed her special concern for protecting the best interests of children and their families.

Women's education may be unusual territory for economists（经济学家）, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics（经济因素）, with its emphasis on incentives, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived（剥夺）of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest（投资）in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy （预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.2016年春高一限时训练参考答案一、完形填空1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．B 7．C 8．D 9．A 10．B11．B 12．D 13．A 14．C 15．D 16．A 17．C 18．D 9．A 20．D二、阅读理解21．D 22．A 23．B 24．A三、任务型阅读1. female/women's/girls'2.

2016届高三英语二轮复习高考提分强化练 十 含答案
高考提分强化练十限时50分钟Ⅰ. 阅读理解It was the end of my first senior year. I was riding with my friends, and a bottle of beer was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought: “What should I do? ”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig! ”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss? ”I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No, ”I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please. ”I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated(动作协调的)person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’tpass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700(4, 340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation(缓刑)for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.【文章大意】本文作者通过自己的经历, 告诫大家不要酒后驾车。

A. creativity B. possibility C. program D. projectⅡ Reading (2*15=30)Reading A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasure gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “ Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“ Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviours that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day”to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress , the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.46. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.47. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.(惯例，常规)48. By saying “ Have a nice day”, a stranger may _________________.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD share his pleasure with you49. According to the last paragraph, people say “ Have a nice day” ________________.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly50. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day---a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day---a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day---a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day---a Polite Ending of a ConversationReading BIn the late summer of 2004, days before I was to move to a city in China, to teach English for a year, I spoke to an acquaintance who had spent a few years in the country.“Holidays are hard,” he said. “But strangely, not so much Christmas. Christmas isn’t that bad. It’s Thanksgiving that’s hard.”At the time, surviving the holidays was the least of my worries. I was moving to a country where I didn’t speak the language, understand the culture, or know the history, in order to do a job that I had never done and didn’t know how to do. And not only that, I was going to a city that I hadn’t even heard of, and could find no information about online. Other than that, I was completely equipped.Within a couple of months, the euphoria of being in China had worn off, and I found myself settling into a routine. I taught two hour-long classes of 15 and 16-year-olds, and, because I assigned no homework and rarely gave out tests, spent the afternoons either reading or making a halfhearted attempt to learn Chinese.When Thanksgiving came around, I decided it’d be easiest if I just ignored it. In China, this isn’t difficult; unlike Christmas, which many Chinese people cerebrate with decorations, music, and festivities, Thanksgiving slips past unnoticed —it’s just another Thursday.And so it was. As I sat on my sofa, however, watching another film from the James Bond box set I bought for $12 at a local shop, I felt a sense of shame. What was I doing? It was Thanksgiving, damn it. I needed to have a proper Thanksgiving dinner.There was only one problem. As in most small Chinese cities, there’s no turkey, or cranberry sauce, or stuffing, yams, pumpkin pie, or anything else. In fact, in the entire city of 700,000 people, there was exactly one restaurant whose food even resembled (looked like), at a distance, Thanksgiving fare.Kentucky Fried Chicken. And so that’s where I headed.51.

He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital ones can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive. And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances.The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools.Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the state’s learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them. Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundationpaid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family.California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves. Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books.School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively.56. The Digital Textbook Initiative ________.A. will probably take effect in six yearsB. covers all the high school subjectsC. has been approved (agreed) by all statesD. is supported by California state governor57. Digital textbooks are most meaningful in that they are to ________.A. help save moneyB. benefit the environmentC. provide interesting materialsD. reduce students’ heavy burden58. Which of the following is TRUE of the CK 12 Foundation?A. It publishes all the books for students free of chargeB. It provides money to write and edit all the textbooks in the USAC. It is organized and supported by Khosla FamilyD. It offers digital math and science materials for high schools59. According to Susan Martimo, digital textbooks will ________.A. come into fashion from now onB. soon replace traditional onesC. first be adopted by well-equipped schoolsD. surely be approved by school districts60. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. schools are unwilling to print out copiesB. the program is not easy to carry outC. students have no access to the computersD. teachers fail to use the textbooks effectivelyⅢGrammar Cloze (1.5*10=15)A farmer once organized a competition between his dog and his rabbit.
