语鹅市安置阳光实验学校黑龙江2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people's interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. This study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from people's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in Spanish; the study was conducted in Argentina). After these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. They prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people, not just how a person reacts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in the journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C. The assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.44. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Interactions between two people confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. Dogs have good interactions with one another.D. The findings of some studies are controversial.45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Man's Best Friend.B. Be Kind To Your DogC. Dog's Amazing AbilityD. Dogs Are Observing You【参考答案】DABDD【2014高考英语六校联考】A阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习及答案

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（1）及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类Papa’s Straw HatPapa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep downinto the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.【小题1】According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A．a person wearing a woolen hatB．a position requiring clean clothesC．a person training horses for some purposeD．a person riding a carriage with horses【小题2】Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A．most cowboys preferred to wear itB．she was worried about his healthC．a woolen one didn’t suit papaD．it was cheap and she could save money【小题3】What quality can we learn from papa?A．Gentle. B．Patient. C．Committed. D．Modest.【小题4】It can be learned from the story that _______.A．this family were not rich but diligentB．papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC．protecting hair was very importantD．a cowboy hat was useful on farming阅读理解。

黑龙江木兰县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练(2)及答案

黑龙江木兰县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练（2）及答案【2014界河北省衡水中学二模】“Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re fools.If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis / Jackie Chan / Will Smith would most likely be in a coma(昏迷) after getting kicked in the head.Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien(外星人的) spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton antivirus,” jokes Chivers.It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles(颗粒) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d not be seen, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “ the bellow(咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.And finally: as Chivers points out, DAN is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die another Day by. In the film the villain(坏人) has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.60. What does the text mainly deal with?A. Plots of some famous movies.B. Characters in space movies.C. Popularity of space movies.D. Mistakes made in some movies.61. From the first two paragraphs we can know that some movie makers ____.A. went against general knowledge of scienceB. didn’t pay attention to the viewers’ real demandC. overestimated viewers’ appreciation of movies.D. didn’t try their best to improve the quality of the movies.62. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 r efer to?A. The newspapers.B. Unconvincing tech moments.C. Some top movies.D. Heroes in the movies.63. We can learn from Paragraph 7 that ____.A. most people like Matrix filmsB. the truth of Matrix films remains in doubtC. few people think Matrix films sillyD. Chivers thinks science is unacceptable【参考答案】60—63、DABA阅读理解。

黑龙江泰来县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（2)及答案阅读理解.阅读下列短文，从给的四个选项（A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项.（2013·吉林省长春市高中毕业班第一次调研测试）When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you？Parents who take their young children to music，swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way,especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same level，at least for a while。

“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they’re doing and what they like，” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.However，finding something new in common is a big choice for them，especially when kids get involved in sports and other after.school activities。

The organization representing British universities has expressed concern about the potential effect of tuition fees（学费）after figures showed a drop of more than 6% in student applications with less than a month to go before the deadline for 2013 applications.Data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) showed there were 265,784 university applications by UK-based candiates up to 17 Decemeber, 6.3% down on the parallel period in the admissions cycle the year before. While this is less than the 8.4% year-on-uear fall seen in earlier Ucas figures, released in mid-November, the coming January deadline makes it ever more likely that the total 2013 applicant figure will see a second sizeable fall following the introduction of annual fees of up to ￡9,000.Nicola Dandridge, the chairman of Universities UK, said : “However, we must be concerned about any drops in the numbers applying to university and in particular, we must look closely at how the increase in graduate contributions in England may be affecting the decisions of promising students. However ,the December figures show a drop in numbers across the UK, suggesting that it is not only a question of tuition fees in England putting off from applying.”A report of the Uncas figures to mid-December shows a 6.5% fall for applicants in England and11.7% for those in Wales, with smaller drops of 3.9% for Scotland and 0.5% for Nortern Ireland. Scotiish students at home insitiutions pay on fees, while those from Nothern Ireland have fees capped to ￡3,575 for Northern Irish universities.Dandridge added: “No one should be put off applying to university because of worries about finance.”“It is important that no one is put off applying to university because they do not have information about the student support available to them. Most new students don’t need to pay directly. There will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments thatn they do now once they are in well paid jobs.”文章大意：是一篇时文。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

If you are hungry, what will you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like stomach, even your mind will be hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently begins to hide your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity gets its full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” Well, this is the result of using our own karma(宿命)of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. But why is it reading but not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educational tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading for help. You have a number of books in the world which will answer all your “how-to” questions. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, which you would never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. The more books you read, the wider your mind will become. Also this improves your speech-making skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. When you start speaking English or any other language fluently with your friends or other people, you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. So guys, do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book and let me know!32·What does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?A．We don’t read books． B．Our creativity gets a full stop． C．We don’t know what to do next． D．We don’t have a good memory．33．One’s mind is hungry because it____-A．is mentally busy with many absurd thingsB．can’t work out things wellC．1oosens its freedom to forgetD．begins to pay careful attention to his needs34·Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading?A．Helping you enlarge your vocabulary．B．Helping you develop your creativity．C．Helping you improve your speaking skills．D．Helping you run your eyes through the lines．35．By reading more，we are sure to_______A．speak English fluently B．store books in our mindC．dream the wildest dreams D．perform better mentally in the future参考答案32—35、BADD2016高考训练题----阅读理解。

D. 8.30pm-10.30pm.B Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?” “Oh, sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?” “Nobody. I do it.” “Really-at night, when you’re asleep?” “Sure.”zxx.k “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?” 5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________? A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design 6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative. 7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden. 8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? A. To help them to see their creativity. B. To find out about their sleeping habits. C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking. C Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. zxx.k BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real”and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries. 9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? A. To explain what they are. B.To introduce BookCrossing. C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas. 10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to? A. The book. B.An adventure. C.A public place. D. The identification number. 11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it? A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner. 12. What is the best title for the text? A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksD A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship. The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back. As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published. 13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley? A. They were made last week B. They showed undersea sceneries C. They were found by a cameraman D. They recorded a disastrous adventure 14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text? A. Frank Hurley B. Ernest Shackleton C. Robert Falcon Scott D. Caroline Alexander 15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage? A. Artistic creation B. Scientific research C. Money making D. Treasure hunting 第⼆节（共5⼩题；每⼩题2分，满分10分）根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的选项。

But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring ofexcellently invented products。

The difference between the window of a department store and theshowcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something，while the second tellsyou the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with theexhihits. Unlike the average art museum visitors，design museum visitors seldom feel frightened orpuzzled。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week”A few students hesitated to start, They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染）other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside, I ran the task of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare,’“But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then need to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book groups.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both"Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then can to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29.

A Website Links People through Books.DA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's WeddellSea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled （雪橇）across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the Soum Foie in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last week.B. They showed undersea sceneries.C. They were found by a cameraman.D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank Hurley.B. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon Scott.D. Caroline Alexander.35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creation.B. Scientific research.C. Money makingD. Treasure hunting.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A garden that’s just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 .

高中英语真题-2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练(6)_2

2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练（6）[史地自然型阅读理解(一)]Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”. Whistles and chirps are lik e the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have transl ated some of their squirrelspeak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm c alls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played the m back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached i ndividually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and be came alert(警惕的)．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their l ives and dived into caves.“In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say ‘there's an e nemy of average threat that's here’， and whistles without ch ucks say ‘there's an enemy of seemingly average threat arou nd here somewhere’， while pure chirps say, ‘I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.’” Hare told.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other co mmunication systems.Although squirrels risktheir lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other s quirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the call er's social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare ad ded that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit fro m the alarm calls.In fact, another Canadian study found that deepvoiced, blackc apped chickadees have their own language, too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact betwe en mates, and raising alarms.While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into g ardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pe sts(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex soci al lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop do ing harm to these animals”．1．The text mainly talks about ________．A．the study on the language of squirrelsB．the comparison between squirrels and chickadees C．the calling for the protection of squirrelsD．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies2．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would proba bly make ________．A．whistles with chucksB．pure chirpsC．whistles without chucksD．repeated chucks3．The underlined word “tidings” in Paragraph 6 probably me ans “________”．A．difficulties B．poisesC．messages D．languages4．What can be learned from this text?A．Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do. B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls. C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirr els.D．Birds such as chickadees don't have their own language.(二)【要点综述】本文主要讲了Hare以及他带领的团队对松鼠们所使用的语言进行的研究。

AIn the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told t hem not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child. Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle. I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherinewrote: “PAC BAK.” Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader.21. When the author first met her, Katherine _____.A. kept silentB. kept cryingC. was studyingD. was unhappy22. What was Katherine’s problem after a few weeks with the author?A. She didn’t like to write at all.B. She couldn’t use sign language.C. She always left her backpack on the bus.D. She had no interest in learning activities.23. What’s the meaning of “Katherine discovered the power of the pen”?A. Katherine used a pen for the first time.B. Katherine became interested in writing.C. Katherine understood how to use the pen.D. Katherine knew what the pen was used for.BWinter Vinecki began running at age five, but got serious in 2015 after her father died of cancer —that’s when she decided to honor his memory by running a marathon on every continent before her 15th birthday.Scope: Team Winter is an organization you founded to raise money for cancer research. How did it get started?Winter: At first, Team Winter was formed to fight childhood obesity. When I was 8, I ran a race and raised $1,100 for that cause. But less than a year later, my dad got cancer.I knew I had to do something to help. When I started, my goal was to raise $10,000. I’ve raised well past that — almost $500,000.Scope: What goes through your mind when you run?Winter: When I’m having a hard time during a race, I think about my dad. If he could deal with the pain of cancer, I can deal with any type of pain. He was a very friendly person. He was always smiling and very happy even when he had cancer.Scope: Is your age ever an obstacle in your races?Winter: I’ve been turned down by race directors who won’t let anyon e younger than 16 or 18 compete. But Diana Nyad, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, told me, “Never let them tell you it can’t be done.” From then on I knew my age wasn’t the problem.Scope: You’ve probably inspired lots of people too.Winter: I’ve heard about kids doing projects like me. Once in a restaurant, a boy came up to my mom and me and told us his dad had cancer too. Now he’s competing in running for his dad. Hearing stories like that helps keep me going.24. What do we know about Team Winter?A. It always holds different races.B. Its final goal is to raise $500,000.C. It was named after Winter’s father.D. It was to help obese children at first.25.

Winter’s words in the last paragraph tell us that _____.A. she sets a good example for othersB. she hopes others will do what she doesC. the boy wants to join Team WinterD. the boy invites her to compete with himCThe idea of inventing an international language is not a new one. Over the past 180 years, linguists (语言学家) have created over ten different languages that are based on German, Spanish, and English. One of these was Basic English.By 1923 the First World War had been over for five years, but Europe was still recovering from its effects. Charles Kay Ogden, a linguist and writer, was running several bookshops in Cambridge. He published The Meaning of Meaning (1923), a book describing how we use language. The book received high praise, which drove Ogden to design an international language — something that was much simpler than English. In 1930 Ogden’s book Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammar was published.Perhaps it takes about seven years for one to become a good English speaker. Ogden believed that Basic English could be learned in seven weeks. There were only 850 words and the grammar was very simple.The language attracted the attention of educators all over the world, but its development was stopped by the Second World War. After the war, both the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt looked for ideas that might bring world peace. They both gave speeches that encouraged the use of Ogden’s international language. In the past 60 years, the language has had some success. In some parts of East Asia, teachers are still using Ogden’s word lists.However, in the main, the language has disappeared. Because there are many more non-native than native speakers of English, recently some linguists have asked whether we should give careful consideration to Ogden’s ideas again. And the Wikipediawebsite () has started a version (版本) written in Basic English for non-native learners of the language. Search for it on the Internet now!27. According to the text, Basic English _____.A. was very easy to learnB. has a history of 180 yearsC. is mainly based on three languagesD. developed fast over the last 60 years28. What was Churchill and Roosevelt’s attitude towards Basic English?A. They were worried about it.B. They were uncertain of it.C. They supported it.D. They didn’t care about it.29. The linguists mentioned in the last paragraph seem to _____.A. write in Basic English on WikipediaB. encourage people to use Basic EnglishC. believe Basic English will disappear soonD. think there will be fewer speakers of English30. The main purpose of the text is to _____.A. advertise a websiteB. review two booksC. describe some linguists’ worksD. introduce an international languageDWhen I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she ask ed.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all —and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches.A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.31. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.A. stay at homeB. take some sandwichesC. leave everything behindD. check his suitcase carefully32. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?A. Selfish and proud.B. Strict but loving.C. Kind and helpful.D. Wise but impatient.33.

To find some needles.C. To play a joke on the two girls.D. To attract the two girls’ attention.35.

The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a 28 on his face.Kids, when they fall down, don’t view their falling down as failure, but29 ,they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . Not only was I touched by the boy’s persistence, but I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural-no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 -just being himself-being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall.

Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose boo ks to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on t he traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing pr ovides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place , hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who fin ds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change you r life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever fi nds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been f ound.

A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley‟s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them aft er a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden shipThe ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica‟s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to ach ieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South P ole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott ‟s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world‟s imagina tion, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before h is 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and g ifted Australianphotographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never be fore been published.13.

黑龙江哈尔滨市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练(2)及答案

黑龙江哈尔滨市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练(2)及答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解One of the most debated issues about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don’t drink tend to die sooner than those who do。

The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is this：many of those who give up alcohol are actually former hard。

core drunks who had already brought health problems associated with drinking。

But a new paper suggests that abstaining(戒除）from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying，even when you leave former problem drinkers out。

The most shocking part—abstainers’(禁酒者)mortality rates（死亡率）are higher than those of heavy drinkers.Moderate（适度的)drinking,which is defined as one to three drinks per day，is associated with the lowest mortality rates.Moderate alcohol use is thought to improve heart health，circulation and sociability，which can be important because people who are cut off don't have as many family members and friends who can notice and help treat health problems.But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life？It’s true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lowersocioeconomic classes，since drinking can be expensive.And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors（压力因素)．Though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for many diseases,heavy_drinkers_are_less_likely_to_die_than_don't_drink。
