[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. He painted a sign36 the puppies and set about nailing it to a post on the 37 of his yard. As he was 38 the last nail into the post, he felt a pull on his clothes. He looked down 39 the eyes of a little boy.“Mister,” he said, “I want to buy one of your puppies. ”“ 40 ,” said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, “these puppies co me from fine 41 and cost much money. ”The boy dropped his head for a moment.

In a somewhat 50 manner the little puppy began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up with others.“I want that one, ” the little boy said, pointing to it.The farmer 51 down at the boy's side and said, “Son, you don't. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs. ”52 that the little boy stepped back from the fence, 53 down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he exposed a steel brace(支持物) attaching itself to a 54 made shoe.

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.

2012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 12（25分钟）AUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?”Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size,or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.1. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived.B. People’s characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.2. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably_______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture3. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted theirnew-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. George LongstreetD. Donald Greenwood4. The underlined word “descendants”in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.A. later generationsB. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsorsBThe Secret to the Success of Wannier, who had started two successful technology companies, rushed home to begin work on the idea. Two years later, in October 2006, she launched . Customers go online to enter their measurements (there are 11, from arm length to hip width) and are assigned one of seven body types based on their proportions. Software identifies selections for each shape by price (as low as $14.49 for a top,up to $605 for a coat), profile (modern classic, romantic glam, and artistic trendy), designer (from August Silk to Tadashi), and lifestyle (work attire to dress-up).Wannier had a degree in textile design and an MBA, but she had a lot to learn about the garment industry. And while she had money from the sale of one of her businesses to kick-start MyShape, she needed investors. Most of those prospects were men, and they simply didn't get the concept--until they saw models of various shapes and sizes in leotards, complete with lumps, bumps, and bulges. They were impressed with Wannier's vision and hopped on board, putting up $32 million and helping her develop a business plan while she designed and patented the technology.Once Wannier had a prototype, she set up an online survey for potential customers. Within 24 hours, she got over 700 responses; a third of them signed up. "We were astonished," recalls Wannier, who double-checked the results just to be sure. "It convinced us there really was a demand."Wannier had an e-commerce site, but she still needed something to sell on it.She moved out of her kitchen and into an office and brought in retail specialists who could persuade skeptical designers to entrust their clothes to a start-up without an established reputation. She refers to that period as a "bit of madness."Today, with 700,000 customers and 300 designers, the site has proved its usefulness. "Some weeks," says Wannier, "we get 100 percent customer satisfaction. And designers are delighted: They get a new distribution channel, absolute customer loyalty, and returns that are 10 percent lower than on other sites."While MyShape continues to sign up customers and designers, the company is not yet profitable. "We get a percentage of the price of the clothes," says Wannier. "In this economy, women are spending less. In order to make money, then, we have to attract more customers who will come back again and again."Asked what the future holds for MyShape, she says, "Next year, we'll start providing the technology to other online stores, so my dream is that our way of shopping becomes the way everyone does it." ( Readers’ Digest )5. Which of the following statements is Not true?A.Wannier sold one of her businesses to start Myshape.B.Wannier succeeded in getting investment for My shapeC.It still remains to be seen whether the website is useful or not.D.Wannier has great confidence in making money from Myshape6. Which is the most important factor leading to the success of MyShape?A.Wannier had a degree in textile design and an MBAB.There’s a demand for such technology used to run MyShapeC.Wannier is a businesswoman with experience, plans, dedication and visionD.People are concerned about their shapes and clothes they wear7.What does “prospects”mean in the sentence “Most of those prospects were men,and they simply didn’t get the concept …” in Paragraph 2?A.chances of success in a jobB.possibilities that sth. will happenC. ideas of what will happen in the futureD.possible or likely customersCDU Lala is the hottest career coach in the country. Thefictional character in the acclaimed novel Du La La’s Promotionshows others how to take the high road to success in a multinational company. But does her story describe a real or distorted picture of work life? The answer is as complicated as office life itself.Over one million copies of the book have been sold since its release in 2007. Go Lala Go!, a movie adaptation of the novel set to hit cinemas next weekend, has stirred up even more interest in the story. The film stars Xu Jinglei and Stanley Huang, but fans seem to be more excited about seeing the story unfold on the big screen.According to a recent survey, 45 percent of the 6,810 netizens polled said they have drawn career pointers from the novel. Other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating, seem to have been received with similar interest.“These books show me the life of white collars, and they teach me career rules and jargon that are not offered in class,” said Zhan g Shanshan, a 22-year-old senior at Beijing Forestry University. Zhang says the competition, humor and office gossip in the book intrigued her. “I can’t wait to embark on my own career,” she said.The popularity of office novels does not surprise Chen Ning, a senior career consultant at . “Novels about office fights and struggles satisfy the psychological demands of an ordinary office worker,” Chen said. “The leading characters face great pressure, fierce competition and an uncertain future. This is what really happens in many readers’ daily life.”Li Ke, the author of Du Lala’s Promotion, has been stressing the significance of her fiction. “I want to provide real and useful common sense, knowledge and experience to office workers,” Li told the Qianjiang Evening News last year.Recent graduates say they have found the basic work principles highlighted in the novel to be instructive. “If these books had been published five years earlier, I might have avoided some problems,” said Xu Jun, an HR man ager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Company. “They often discuss basic office principles, which are relevant for staff working under the middle management level. They also help readers to see the importance of basic problem solving and organizational skills.”But some veteran employees warn that the novels are not always realistic. They say this is especially true of the characters. “The protagonists appear to be unbeatable,” said Hou Zhendong, an HR manager at General Electric. “Du Lala’s team leader quit in an irresponsible way; her boss is inept; and the staff around her is either stupid or overly-sophisticated. Du stands out in emergencies and makes all the right decisions. The truth is, real-life colleagues are not that polarized （截然对立）,” Hou said. “You seldom get to negotiate your salary with a big boss. And, most of the time, you make wrong decisions far more than you make correct ones.”The career principles in the books are also of limited use. “Most of the stories happen in Fortune 500 companies with a long history. Their cultures are well-established, and their rules are scientific,” Hou said. “But if you work for a small foreign company, or a local enterprise, some principles are useless.”Liu Rui, a project manager at IBM, suggests fans of these books focus on the little bits of wisdom they provide. “The novels give rookies（新手）some inspiration,”he said. “They emphasize the importance of observation, practice and self-examination. These tips are precious and universally true.”8.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Recent graduates can learn a lot of useful career principles from the novel.B.The best novel shows readers how to be promoted in various companies.C.The book Go Lala Go! Sells very well.D.The movie adaptation of the novel will be a massive hit at the box-officein China.9.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Du Lala’s story reflects the true office life.B.Go Lala Go! Enjoys more popularity than other office novels, such as In andOut of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating.C.Some people argue that the story is a bit polarized.D.Both rookies and veteran employees are fond of Go Lala Go!.10.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.The Life of White CollarsB.The Hottest Career CoachC.How to Promote in CompanyD.Go Lala Go! — Office Life Not All Fairytale Drama1. B 细节题根据文中第5段“The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken fromplace names.”第6段“Other early surnames came from people’s occupations.”第8段“Sometimes people were known for····their special abilities.”分别可以排除A, C, D, 得出答案B。

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。

After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player, I suggested that we relax for a while. He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.“Look, Alice,” he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering. “I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?”Glancing out of a nearby window, I noticed there was not a breeze (微风). “I'm sorry, Tripper,”I said, sad to see his disappointed eyes, but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities. “The wind is not blowing today. The kite won’t fly.”The determined 10-year-old replied. “I think it’s windy enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered, as he hurried out through the back door. I peeked through the curtains to watch determination in action. Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite attached to a small length of string. The plastic kite, proudly displaying a picture of Batman, remained about shoulder level.He ran back and forth, as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.I asked“How did it go?” “Fine,” he said, “I got it to fly some.” As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, “I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart. “Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind.” And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength. We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!4. The writer didn’t fly the kite with his nephew because she ________.A. wanted to get relaxedB. preferred to stay in peace and quietC. thought the weather was not suitableD. was not so experienced in flying kites5.

Determine to Succeed.CChinese Culture Shown to the World with LoveLi Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of abeautiful and friendly China.With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart.To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.8. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s video clips?A. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.B. They attract a large number of foreigners to visit her online shop.C. They are based on her family’s recipes of making traditional Chinese food.D. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handicrafts worldwide.9. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?A. Analysis of Chinese culture in Li’s videos makes people bored.B. Cultural heritages usually exist in memories and written accounts.C. Details and accuracy play significant roles in the success of Li’s videos.D. Li makes sure all of her video clips are short enough to be downloaded.10. What does the underlined word “intangible” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. nonphysicalB. inaccessibleC. invaluableD. unnoticeable11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To provide guidance on cooking and making handicrafts.B. To suggest a way of attracting more followers on Sina Weibo.C. To encourage more people to make efforts to bring Chinese culture to the world.D. To give an example of how to gain worldwide popularity as a short video blogger.DFood experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing （冲洗）off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.The do—not—wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it'snot washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli （大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.12. Why don't people accept USDA's advice?A. Because the advice is relatively new.B. Because cleaning seems more trustworthy.C. Because cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.D. Because heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food.13. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Food packages carry germs.B. Hands and surfaces are easy to get E. coli.C. Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.D. Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.14. Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?A. Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.B. Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.C. Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.D. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.15. From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?A. Medicine.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Science.第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题2 阅读理解40（45分钟）ATess went to her bed room and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. Then carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy（药房）.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. So she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick… and I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”The pharmacist’s brother was a well dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.“One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have.”“Well, what a coincidence. A dollar and eleven cents—the exact price of a miracle for little brother,” smiled the man.“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”The pharmacist’s brother, Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, was expert in neurosurgery(神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and doing well.Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,” her Mo m whispered. “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?”Tess smiled. S he knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the faith of a little child.1.

Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress.“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampiedsaid. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some pe ople eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.Compulsive shopping was first discovered in 1915, although it was then known as oniomania. Few studies have been done on the problem.An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should not be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr Wilson said.Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr Wilson said.8. What is this article mostly about?A. Signs of compulsive shopping.B. Studies of compulsive shopping.C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson.9. The underlined word“it”in the first pa ragraph most probably refers to .A. a new psychological excuseB. compulsive eatingC. the study done by BlampiedD. the behavior of wild shopping10. Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?A. Teaching them to manage their money better.B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.D. Treating them with right drugs.11. When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means thatthey .A. feel distressed after their wild shoppingB. feel better after treatment from psychologistsC. are better able to deal with stress problemsD. have a feeling of excitement after shoppingDAmerica has always had people of many different nationalities and languages. The 1990 census (人口普查) indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English language at home. Yet only 3% reported that they spoke English “not well” or “not at all ”. That means that slightly more than one out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students—and even some elementary school students—are required to take a foreign language. Actually, a growing number of Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of using different languages.Ethnic enclaves(少数民族聚居地) have preserved the language and culture of American immigrants. Some local residents can function quite well in their native language, without having to bother learning English. Regions such as southern Florida and the Southwest have numerous Spanish-speaking neighborhoods. In fact, Spanish speakers—numbering over 17 million—form the largest non-English linguistic group in America. But Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Polish and many other ethnic group add to the linguistic flavor of America. Foreign languages are so commonly used in some ethnic neighborhoods that visitors might think they are in another country!Although some Americans welcome this linguistic and cultural diversity, others have begun to fear that the English language is being threatened. Since the 1980s, the “English Only” movement has sought to promote legislation（立法）which would establish Engli sh as the “official language” and restrict the use of non-English language. However, some groups, including TESOL,the organization for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Language, object to such “language restrictionism”. But so far, 19 states have passed “English Only” legislation, and the topic is the focus of an ongoing debate.Whether or not English is the official language of the United States, it remains the “language of wider communication”. Nearly everyone recognizes the need to develop the ability in using English in order to do well in America. Americans also recognize that English is the international language, and people with good English skills can get by in many international settings. On the other hand, in a world growing increasingly smaller, second language skills can be a great favor. They can build cross-cultural bridges and give people an edge in a variety of career field. Indeed, lack of foreign language skill can limit one’s chances for advancement and keep one in a cultural dead-end street.12. Ethnic groups have preserved their native languages because .A. their native languages are commonly used in their neighborhoodsB. ethnic groups are not allowed to speak EnglishC. ethnic groups can do very well in their native languagesD. ethnic groups don’t allow their natives to learn English13. The u nderlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 1 probably means.A. being able to speak two languagesB. being able to speak one languageC. being able to speak different languagesD. being able to speak many foreign languages14. Which of the following is TRUE about “English Only” movement?A. Its purpose was to establish a legislation of restricting the use of English.B. TESOL was in favor of “English Only” by objecting to “English plus”.C. It was launched because English was being threatened.D. A large majority of states supported the movemen t.15. What can be the best title of this passage?A. The English Only MovementB. Learn to speak EnglishC. English—an International LanguageD. Being BilingualEA villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks t o nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s S ixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information abou t anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.16. The aim of the passage is to .A. report a piece of interesting newsB. promote tremor-resistant homesC. inform us of the nanotechnology developmentD. tell us about a tremor-resistant home17. The villa can resist earthquakes because .A. it will be built on a special placeB. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymersC. the special particles can make its walls strongerD. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack18. If the tremor-resistant home falls down, .A. rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB. the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC. no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD. a warning signal will be given to other residents19. What Prof Wilkins said suggests that .A. he is doubtful about the projectB. he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC. he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD. the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation20. It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home .A. is still being tried outB. is already under constructionC. has been in wide useD. will be put into wide use soonBCAC DDC BDBD AACD DBACA。

And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging. Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”．According to Shen, it is the kidney(肾脏)which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper. We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce Tcells. These Tcells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.So the only way t o slow down aging is to slow the production of Tcells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra Tcells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?This is where Dr. Shen's herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.1．How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problems of aging?A. By studying Western medicine.B ．By learning traditional Chinese medicine.C ．By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.D ．By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.2. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?A. Medical treatment.B ．People's good kidney.C ．Level of people's activity.D ．Positive life attitude.3. The reason why people become old is that ________.A. their bodies produce TcellsB ．their bodies are unable to fight diseasesC ．they have reduced strength, loss of hair。

江苏省2020高考英语二轮复习限时训练专题2 阅读理解30

2020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 30（35分钟）AWhile travelling to Newcastle in the UK to visit relatives, I arrived in London to find my plane transfer north to Newcastle had been cancelled due to deteriorating weather conditions.The airline was helpful -- offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus fide to my destination. With no indication as to whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next two days, I chose the bus ride.I stored all my baggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.I realised that t had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out. I replied that I wouldn’t as I still had sandals on, and bare feet weren’t ideal for the cold weather, When she got back on, she’d bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to eat.When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me. I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but whenI looked up she had gore. I was unable to even verbally thank her.1. We learn from the passage that ____________.A. the author had little money to buy the air ticket from London to NewcastleB. the author probably flew to London from a warm placeC. the author’s relatives missed meeting her in LondonD. the author’s cell phone wasn’t functioning in Britain2. Which of the following information is of great importance to the author’s relatives?A. Why the flight was called off.B. Why the flight was delayed.C. Where the author was put up.D. When the author would arrive.3. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. British people always suffer from terrible weather in winter.B. British people are usually helpful.C. The author was kind of careless.D. The author was grateful to the airline.BAccurately forecasting the weather is a very hard thing to do. There are many parts of weather dynamics-the study of how water and air in motion cause weather patterns-to consider. Even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. Today’s forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. However, it hasn’t always been that way. People, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. They remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. Many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modem forecasting.Grandma’s aching joints might indicat e the arrival of a low-pressure system. She might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the low-pressure system. Finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity (湿度). Based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.Joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure, Dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. This causes pain in joints and nerve endings. Geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. In the fair, calm weather of a high-pressure system, the birds flyhigher than in the stormy weather associated with a low-pressure system.Nature provides other clues to changing weather. A decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. Some animals feed more than usual. The higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. Some flowers close so rain doesn’t get inside them. In winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.Several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. Here are some of them.■Early thunder, early spring.■Rainbow in the morning 8ives you fair warning.■When teeth and bones and bunions ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake.■When high clouds and tow clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow anda change in the weather.4. It is true that ___________.A. using folklore and proverbs to forecast weather is more accurate than modem forecastingB. complex computer models and weather instruments can always forecast weatheraccuratelyC. modern forecasting cannot always guarantee accurate weather forecasting for some reasonD. modem forecasting along with other observations is sure to give accurate weather forecast5. In a low-pressure system, you may notice the following EXCEPT that ___________.A. some birds will be seen flying near the surface of the earthB. some flowers close so rain doesn’t get insideC. some animals come down from mountainsD. some insects disappear from ground6. It is a fact that the behaviour of plants and animals is _________.A. likely to reflect long-term weather forecastingB. likely to reflect short-term weather forecastingC. unlikely to reflect any kind of weather forecastingD. more likely to reflect both short-term and long. term weather forecasting7. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. People can forecast weather with no modern equipment.B. How to use proverbs to forecast weather forecasting.C. Hard as it is, weather forecasting has a scientific base.D. The importance of weather forecasting.CThe United States has always bee n a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate - join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.8. Which of the following is the key information the writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph?A. There used to be many groups of Native Americans.B. Englishmen were among the first to settle in America.C. Asians and Africans also immigrated to America.D. USA today is made up of people from across the world.9. The “melting pot” ___________.A. is an accurate way to describe the United StatesB. is a place where people from different cultures should assimilate completelyC. cannot accurately reflect the reality in the United StatesD. cannot be replaced by the “salad bowl”10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Many immigrates to the United States try to keep some of their culture.B. Immigrates are encouraged to use English wherever they go in the USA.C. Children of early immigrates can speak English as well as their parents’ native language.D. New immigrants want to live in their own culture and language.11. The “salad bowl” reflects the fact that immigrates to the United States ____________.A. help each otherB. assimilate only partiallyC. take great pride in their culture and languageD. remain independentDExpecting good things can make you healthier and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzaane Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphy’s Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitude---and has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimism’s principles and payoffs.l) Feeling well helps when you’re not well.“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict who’s likely to live longer: the one who feels his he alth is better. There’s something about that feeling of wellness that’s important, even--maybe especially--if you’re ill. Optimism also seems to help buffer (减缓) you against stress. I’ve been studying first-year law students for 16 years. That’s a very st ressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a student’s optimism increased one point on a five-point scale, his immune (免疫性的) response to an injected virus or yeast improved by 20 percent.”2) Optimism is something you do.“Anxiety and other negat ive emotions are known to be detri-mental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems (心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.In addition, research shows that people who axe optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, they’re more likely to actively participate in their treatment. I’ve seen that myself--I have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to do whatever it takes has helped a lot.”3) Not happy? Don’t worry.“Happiness is a feeling; optim ism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate (波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition (性格) is usually pretty stable. If you’re not optimistic, you can try creating a ‘positive events’ log. Good filings happen to everyone, but pessimists often don’t take notice; spending a fe w minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do: Work hard to reach your goals. Each accomplishment should make it easier to be hopeful about the next one.”12. The main finding of the study done by 8uzanae Segerstrom is ________.A. people will benefit from their positive attitudes towards lifeB. anyone who feels his health is better lives longerC. people who are optimistic about their future behave differentlyD. happiness usually results in a bright future13. What conclusion did Suzanne Segerstrom draw from her studies on her fast-year law students?A. The better medical care they enjoy, the longer they will live.B. The younger they arc, the stronger they will be.C. The more optimistic they am, the less likely they will get ill.D. The better they feel, the more rapidly they will recover from illness.14. We learn from the passage that optimistic people __________.A. are easy to give up smokingB. are willing to do whatever they are askedC. take an active part in all aspectsD. tend to have a better life style15. What are you advised to do according to the passage?A. Take exercise as much as you can.B. Keep a daily note of positive things.C. Work hard and play hard.D. Make your goals easy to reach.

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 40（45分钟）ATess went to her bed room and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. Then carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy（药房）.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. So she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick… and I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”The pharmacist’s brother was a well dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.“One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And it’s all the money I have.”“Well, what a coincidence. A dollar and eleven cents—the exact price of a miracle for little brother,” smiled the man.“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”The pharmacist’s brother, Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, was expert in neurosurgery(神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and doing well.Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,” her Mo m whispered. “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?”Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the faith of a little child.1. Tess took her money to the pharmacy to .A. pay for the doctor’s billB. buy her brother a miracleC. make a deal with the pharmacistD. see whether the money was enough2.

Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop -till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them distress.“It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you d o? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream.

Few studies have been done on the problem.An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr Wilson, is “clearly not rare”. He thinks that compulsive shopping should not be treated with drugs. “As psychologists we are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr Wilson said.Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problems and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.The aim of the treatment was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.“You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems connected with what’s making you feel that way,” Mr Wilson said.8. What is this article mostly about?A. Signs of compulsive shopping.B. Studies of compulsive shopping.C. comparison of compulsive shopping and compulsive eating.D. An experimental treatment program designed by Mr Wilson.9. The underlined word“it”in th e first paragraph most probably refers to .A. a new psychological excuseB. compulsive eatingC. the study done by BlampiedD. the behavior of wild shopping10. Which of the following is considered important in treating compulsive shoppers?A. Teaching them to manage their money better.B. Teaching them to understand their emotions.C. Persuading them not to draw money from the bank.D. Treating them with right drugs.11. When the writer says that compulsive shoppers get a kick from their habit, he means thatthey .A. feel distressed after their wild shoppingB. feel better after treatment from psychologistsC. are better able to deal with stress problemsD. have a feeling of excitement after shoppingDAmerica has always had people of many different nationalities and languages. The 1990 census (人口普查) indicates that almost 14% of Americans speak a non-English language at home. Yet only 3% reported that they spoke English “not well” or “not at all ”. That means that slightly more than one out of 10 Americans could be considered bilingual. Besides that, many high school and college students—and even some elementary school students—are required to take a foreign language. Actually, a growing number of Americans are coming to appreciate the benefits of using different languages.Ethnic enclaves(少数民族聚居地) have preserved the language and culture of American immigrants. Some local residents can function quite well in their native language, without having to bother learning English. Regions such as southern Florida and the Southwest have numerous Spanish-speaking neighborhoods. In fact, Spanish speakers—numbering over 17 million—form the largest non-English linguistic group in America. But Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, Polish and many other ethnic group add to the linguistic flavor of America. Foreign languages are so commonly used in some ethnic neighborhoods that visitors might think they are in another country!Although some Americans welcome this linguistic and cultural diversity, others have begun to fear that the English language is being threatened. Since the 1980s, the “English Only” movement has sought to promote legislation（立法）which would establish English as the “official language” and restrict the use of non-English language. However, some groups, including TESOL, the organization for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Language, object to such “language restrictionism”. But so far, 19 states have passed “English Only” legislation, and the topic is the focus of an ongoing debate.Whether or not English is the official language of the United States, it remains the “language of wider communication”. Nearly everyone recognizes the need to develop the ability in using English in order to do well in America. Americans also recognize that English is the international language, and people with good English skills can get by in many international settings. On the other hand, in a world growing increasingly smaller, second language skills can be a great favor. They can build cross-cultural bridges and give people an edge in a variety of career field. Indeed, lack of foreign language skill can limit one’s chances for advancement and keep one in a cultural dead-end street.12. Ethnic groups have preserved their native languages because .A. their native languages are commonly used in their neighborhoodsB. ethnic groups are not allowed to speak EnglishC. ethnic groups can do very well in their native languagesD. ethnic groups don’t allow their natives to learn English13. The underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 1 probably means .A. being able to speak two languagesB. being able to speak one languageC. being able to speak different languagesD. being able to speak many foreign languages14. Which of the following is TRUE about “English Only” movement?A. Its purpose was to establish a legislation of restricting the use of English.B. TESOL was in favor of “English Only” by objecting to “English plus”.C. It was launched because English was being threatened.D. A large majority of states supported the movemen t.15. What can be the best title of this passage?A. The English Only MovementB. Learn to speak EnglishC. English—an International LanguageD. Being BilingualEA villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special pa rticles that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by Dece mber . The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor networ k will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.16. The aim of the passage is to .A. report a piece of interesting newsB. promote tremor-resistant homesC. inform us of the nanotechnology developmentD. tell us about a tremor-resistant home17. The villa can resist earthquakes because .A. it will be built on a special placeB. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymersC. the special particles can make its walls strongerD. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack18. If the tremor-resistant home falls down, .A. rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB. the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC. no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD. a warning signal will be given to other residents19. What Prof Wilkins said suggests that .A. he is doubtful about the projectB. he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC. he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD. the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation20.

2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练（江苏专用）专题3 任务型阅读 4（25分钟）（A）根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest (有害的事物) and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see Imust now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.1. Telephone/telephone2. necessary3. emergency4. waste5. harmful6. except/but7. opinions/views8. Problems9. nobody 10. hurries（B）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个．．最恰当的单词。

2012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 1（35分钟）AHe was an old man who fished alone in a boat in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish th e boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff (鱼钩) and harpoon (鱼叉) and the sail that was furled around the mast (桅杆). The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches（斑点）of the skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.“Santiago,” the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from where the s kiff was pulled up. “I could go with you again. We’ve made some money.”The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.“No,” the old man said. “You’re with a lucky boat. Stay with them.”“But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks.”“I remember,” the old man said. “I know you did not leave me because you doubted.”“It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him.”“I know,” the old man said. “It is quite normal.”“He hasn’t much faith.”“No,” the old man said. “But we have. Haven’t we?”“Yes,” the boy said. “Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we’ll take the stuff home.”“Why not?” the old man said. “Between fishermen.”1. The boy left the old man and went in another boat to fish because .A. the old man preferred to fish aloneB. the old man was unluckyC. the boy’s parents ordered him toD. the old man’s sail suggested a permanent defeat2. After reading this passage, we may safely conclude that .A. the old man was insistent and not afraid of failureB. the boy’s papa had confidence in everythingC. the old man caught big fishes during eighty-seven daysD. the boy obeyed his father because he had some doubts about the old man3. What might happen after the last paragraph?A. The old man and the boy might go to fish with other fishermen.B. The old man might go to have a drink with the boy.C. The old man and the boy might go to enjoy beer at the old man’s home.D. The old man might go to tell the boy’s papa about the secrets between fishermen.BThe Friday after the American holiday of Thanksgiving is called Black Friday. It’s said that it’s the day that store ledgers(分类账)move into the black and companies become profitable. On that day, retailers slash prices to get consumers to buy. It is also a time when many Americans start their Christmas shopping. VOA’s Elizabeth Lee tells us how the economy may affect consumers o n that bargain day.“It’s just the deals, the sales and everything you can get for a lesser price,” said Sandy Thomas, a shopper. But it’s a nightmare for others. “I think it’s crazy. I’ve done all of my shopping throughout the week so I don’t have to go out on Friday,” she said. It’s called Black Friday, the start of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States. Every year it’s the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. Stores open before sunrise and there are deep discounts everywhere you look.While the lead up to Christmas is known as the season of giving, Black Friday can get ugly.Last year a crowd of bargain-hunters killed a Wal-mart worker in a New York suburb. This year, many stores are increasing security while they slash prices. “T his is a huge time for the retail stores,” said Fred Joutz from George Washington University. “This is when they begin making their profits for the year.”Economics professor Fred Joutz says how Americans spend the weekend after Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.With the unemployment rate above 10 percent, Joutz says Americans are saving more and spending less. “Credit is still strictly controlled whether through credit cards or through borrowing from banks,” he said. Some retailers are attracting consumers by opening on Thanksgiving Day, when shops are traditionally closed. Other stores open their doors anywhere from midnight to four in the morning.And shoppers will be lining up in front of the doors in order to be one of the first ones to walk through and get a big discount. Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually the first items to go. Sandy Thomas says it’s an annual family tradition and well worth it. “I just save maybe half of what I would have spent on a r egular, you know, shopping trip,” she said.Economists say U.S. consumers will spend money this Black Friday, but they will spend it more carefully.4. The underlined word “slash” in the first paragraph probably means _________.A. reduceB. raiseC. increaseD. change5. The sentence “This day should be a shopper’s dream.” should be placed between ________.A. paragraph two and paragraph threeB. paragraph one and paragraph twoC. paragraph three and paragraph fourD. paragraph five and paragraph six6. Why are many stores increasing security according to the passage?A. Because there are too many people saving more and spending less.B. Because it’s a time when they begin making their profits for the year.C. Because last year a crowd of bargain-hunters caused an accident.D. Because many stores open their doors from midnight to four a.m.7.What can we learn from the passage?A. Christmas shopping is traditional time and this year it is no exception.B. Electronics like flat screen TVs are usually least discounted.C. The economy only affects consumers on that bargain day.D. Thanksgiving is a good indication of how consumers feel about the future.CHave you got any wonderful plans for your coming winter vacation?

Away We Go shows beautiful scenery on the young couple’s journey.D. The ancient Mayan prediction is going to happen in 2012.DWhat would you do if you were lost in the dark forest at night? The first sensible lesson is that you shouldn’t bother trying to find your way in the dark at all, but just stay put until dawn. Because then you won’t trip over things? No, mainly because you’ll have an idea of direc tion. The sun rises in the east. But you will be amazed at how many people forget they know that. Apparently, the area underneath a holly bush provides a good makeshift shelter — they are thick, and evergreen. The next thing to do —or rather not to do —is panic, for the obvious reason that unless there is someone there to hear you scream, it will get you nowhere. Just try to think of nice, happy things.There is always a point in films when a person who is lost in the desert or the snow, dehydrated(脱水的) and exhausted, comes across a set of their own footprints and realizes they have just walked in a huge, round circle. It is wrong to owe it to the unequal strengths or different lengths of your legs. Experiments prove that, without the sun or the moon (or landmarks) as a fixed guide, lots of small errors add up over time so the brain can’t correctly identify the “straight ahead” direction. To just get out of somewhere, pick a spot on the horizon and just head for it.There are several ways to find directions in the dark, and by far the best is to establish north using the stars. Most people can identify the Plough, which ispart of Ursa Major. It looks a lot like a saucepan. The Plough rotates through the sky, but let’s imagine the saucepan lying horizo ntally (水平地), with its handle on the left. You need to trace a line from the star at the right-hand base of the pan, through the star at the right-hand rim (边沿), and follow it upwards; the north star is roughly five times the distance between those two “pointer” stars. Then drop a vertical line from the North Star to the horizon and that’s north.“Tonight is very cloudy and I can’t see the Plough.” Maybe luckily, it is quite windy. Keep in mind that almost all of our weather comes from a south-westerly direction. (This only works if you are in the British Isles). To find the direction, you can throw light bits of dried-out grass in the air and see which way they blow; or, if there are clouds and patches of clear sky, see which way they blow across the stars. You can also get an idea of direction from leggy plants. If they look as if they have been blown over, they will probably be pointing north-east. If they are simply leaning in one direction as they grow, there’s a good chance that is south (they will be reaching towards the sun). The last thing to do is to judge your direction and off you go.12. What might be the best title of the passage ?A. How to survive in the forestB. How to protect yourself in the forestC. How to direct your way out of the wildD. What to do if you are lost13. Which of the following pictures matches the description of the position of the north star?14. Why will people often walk in a circle if they are lost in the desert or the snow?A. Because without anything to refer to for directions, the brain will be confused by errors.B. Because one of the legs is longer and stronger than the other.C. Because the desert or the snow usually covers a large area for people to get across.D. Because people usually feel dehydrated and exhausted in the desert or the snow.15. If you were lost in Taklimakan Desert in China, _________ would NOT be dependable for you to identify the directions.A. the sunB. the North StarC. windD. the moon CAB ABCA CBAC CDAC。

My father reached down,picked up the bill,tapped the man on t he shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.”The man knew what was going on.He wasn’t begging for money but certainly appreciated the help in a difficult,embarrassing situation.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his,and he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.T his really means a lot to me and my family.”My father and I went back to our car and drove home.We didn’t go to the circus that night,but we didn’t go without.1.The underlined word “jabbering”( in Para.1) can be best replaced by“”.A.imaginingB.talkingC.expectingD.asking2.When the ticket lady told the price,the wife .A.hardly heardB.hardly understoodC.was disappointedD.was relaxed3.Which of the following words can be best used to describe the writer’s father?( )A.H onest.B.Kind.C.Wise.D.Faithful.4.We can infer from the last paragraph thatA.The author and his father returned home with regret.B.The author and his father were unhappy about missing the circus.C.The author and his father were very happy with helping a man in a circus.D.The author and his father returned home with another kind of joy and comfort.5.Which of the following is true according to the text?( )A.The author and his father bought the tickets at last.B.The author and his father went home unhappy.C.The author and his father didn’t see the circus.D.The author got nothing at last.语篇解读:作者叙述和父亲买票看马戏表演时发生的事,作者得到了很大的收获:帮助他人得到了快乐、真情和满足。

2012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 4（35分钟）AA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words co me from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better l eft unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.1．The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.A．words will never hurt us at all B．words have lasting effects on us C．positive effects last longer than negative effectsD．negative words last longer than positive effects2．Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.B．It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.D．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.3．The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.A．blame ourselves B．punish ourselves C．praise ourselves D．talk to ourselves4．Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A．It is better to think twice before talking to others.B．It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.C．Words always possess long positive effects.D．Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.BWASHINGTON –Barack Obama swept to victory as the first black president in the US history Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. "Change has come," he told a huge group of cheering supporters.In his first speech as victor, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. "The greatest of a lifetime," he said, "two wars, a planet in danger, the worst financial crisis in a century."He added, "There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face."The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states -- Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.In his speech, Obama invoked (引用) the words of Lincoln and echoed John F.Kennedy."So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in (努力投入) and work harder," he said.He and his running mate, Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths（宣誓）of office as president and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.Obama will move into the Oval Office as leader of a country that is almost certainly in recession (不景气), and fighting two long wars, one in Iraq, the other in Afghanistan.Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months.5. What is special about Barack Obama, the newly-elected president of the United States?A. He has a black father and a white mother.B. He is the first black president in the US history.C. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain easily.D. He will move into the White Palace on Jan. 20, 2009.6. What Obama emphasized in his first speech were ________.A. dangersB. warsC. challengesD. financial problems7. The first issue Obama will focus his attention on may probably be to ________.A. withdraw most US combat troops from IraqB. care for environmental protectionC. declare two wars in Iraq and AfghanistanD. deal with the problems of economy8. According to the passage, Obama’s attitude toward the challenges he faces is ________.A. positiveB. negativeC. ambiguousD. worriedCIt is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they areunsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.9. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.B. A shy person may not be a calm one.C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.10. The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. lazyB. carefulC. eagerD.unwilling11. According to the author, introverted people can be successful because theyusually ________.A. have a strong willB. talk less and show off lessC. learn more than extrovertsD. have a good attitude to learning12. It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing”probably refersto ________.A. energyB. courageC. quietnessD. knowledgeDSports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.13. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences14. According to the passage parents and coaches should .A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to deal with stress15. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is .A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBDCAB CDAAD CBDBB。
