2019高考(浙江、江苏)英语：第二部分 题型专题突破 专题二 阅读理解 第一讲专题强化训练 Word版含答案

A

(2016·浙江大学附中高考全真模拟)Surprisingly，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals，still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850，000 children go through hospital each year，and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1，000 children in hospital.

Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a part-time teacher.The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey，one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.

Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied，and the latter is often all the teachers can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady”or just “the helper”．Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching，and are told to catch up as best as they can.

Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly.But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.

(2016·浙江省高三第二次五校联考)Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.

Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long­standing interest in psychology.Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?

Combing through decades of findings，social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.

At the most basic level，beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality，and by association，our deep mind may assume that they

have other good ones too.

Even in the courts，a pleasing appearance can work its magic.Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences，or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告)，meanwhile，are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements.“It’s an effect seen everywhere，”says Walker.

But if beauty pays in most circumstances，there are still situations where it can have opposite results.While attractive men may be considered better leaders，for instance，hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women，making them less likely to be hired for high ­level jobs that require power.And as you might expect，good­looking people of both sexes run into envy—one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex，they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.

More worryingly，being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care.We tend to link good looks to health，meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking.When treating people for pain，for instance，doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.

And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place.One study in 1975，for instance，found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway—perhaps as a mark of respect，but still making interaction more distant.“Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space—but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person，”says Frevert.Interestingly，the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.

Ultimately，Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety—even for those already blessed with good looks.“If you are crazy about attractiveness，it may affect your experience and interactions，”she says.It’s an outdated saying，but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality.As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly：“Beauty_is_only_skin_deep，but_ugly_goes_clean_to_the_bone.”

(2015·南京市、盐城市高三第二次模拟考试)An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form.The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints.He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.

At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings，his worn ­out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left.The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arm’s length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged：the goat meat，palm oil，leaves and spices.He ignored the confused expression on the officer’s face and signed the document declaring he had been returned

the possessions they had taken off him the night before.

No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.

“Mr.Easy­nwa？”He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces，clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right.

“Ezenwa，”He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips，her name tag said Jessica Harlow，Social Services.“A bit far from home，”she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to.He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50，000 miles from Enugu，a city in Nigeria.He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather，bad drivers，her daughter’s school play...

At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.

“Got here in the end”，said she seriously，“Really Mr.Easy­nwa，if you keep getting lost，we will have to consider moving you into a home.”

“No need，I was not lost，”he answered.He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands，relieved the pipes were not frozen.In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat.The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down，the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool，his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester，and yesterday，among other food items，the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham.That had taken some time，so much he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked up station，so cold he couldn’t answer loudly enough the pink­faced big copper who yelled in his face，“What’s your name sir？” spraying his face with spittle (吐沫)as he did so，leaving them with no choice but to search an exhausted，frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments (调味品)including a bag of dried bitter-leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in his getting rid of his rights and charged with drug possession.

He lifted the lid of the bubbling soup.The room was filled with the rich and spicy scent of his culinary(烹饪的)effort.He served two bowls，taking the chipped one and placing the other opposite where Evelyn would have sat.He would tell her about his adventure，it was their anniversary and this was the perfect pepper soup to celebrate.
