Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·合肥调研性检测)The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
Unit 1 Caltural relicsⅠ阅读理解A“Hungary?”I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”And with that,my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an allyear program,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a onceinalifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favorite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,the warmhearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述作者作为一个交换生在国外学习的经历和感受。
Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·江西名校联盟检测)Several decades ago, educators in theU.S.A.began to call attention to a national problem: most students leaveAmerican schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or forhigher education.This was especially true for female and minoritystudents.The Educational Testing Service reported that, in an international survey, American teenagers had the lowest math scores.This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”,or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians, teachers, and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that, in addition to poor education, there are many psychological blocks.Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result, those students fall further and further behind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not always been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”—the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In addition, math textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures, and to discover relationships.Traditional computing skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are still being taught, of course. However, there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策.1.What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A.Students with low scores fear to ask their teachers for help.B.Poor equipment in classrooms limits teens’chances to learn.C.Math anxiety, hardly noticed, is actually a silent call for help.D.Poorsighted students can’t see clearly, which is a silent call for help.C解析:句意理解题.根据上下文及画线句前面的“Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.”可知,学生会因自己不懂某些数学知识感到尴尬,而这又会使他们产生恐惧心理,恐惧可能导致沉默,因为学生不想让人注意到自己知识匮乏,相应地,老师也就会忽略学生这方面的不足,由此可知,C项最能传达该画线句的含义.2.Which may lead to American students’innumeracy?A.The methods of teaching.B.The difficulty of math itself.C.Students’lack of interest in math.D.Schools’not attaching enough value to it.A解析:细节理解题.根据文章第二段中的“in addition to poor education”及第四段的内容尤其是“Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students...gaining competence in mathematics.”可知,教学方法可能是美国学生不能掌握数学基本概念的原因.3.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A.What to be taught in America’s revised math programs.B.How to make math reform actually benefit American students.C.How to improve teens’logical thinking and problemsolving abilities.D.Why traditional computing skills are necessary in mathematics education.C解析:推理判断题.根据最后一段中的“there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions”可知,文章接下来可能会陈述有关怎样提高学生的逻辑思维能力及创造性地解决问题的能力方面的内容,故选C.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.Mathematic skills needed for higher education.B.The features of America’s mathematics education.C.Improvements in mathematics education in the U.S.D.The importance of mathematics education in the U.S.C解析:主旨大意题.通读全文可知,本文作者就美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策进行了陈述,故C项最能概括文章的主要内容.Ⅱ七选五(2018·湖北部分重点中学高三起点考试)How to Avoid a Boring ConversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to?Here are tips and inoffensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.·Go for a refill(续杯).It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill.1.________And once you excuse yourself,make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well. ·Pretend bad mood.Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I’m not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind?” 2.________Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.·Ask your friend to save you.3.________Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important.You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.·4.________You are advised to look away from that person and don’t make eye contact,so that you can give powerful hints (暗示) that you find the conversation extremely boring.5.________Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you don’t come across as rude.A.Behave in an obviously careless way.B.Just be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.C.Don’t act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.D.Use body language to indicate boredom.E.Your friend is bound to perform brilliantly in coping with the dull one.F.Look elsewhere and pretend that something else has caught your attention.G.Stuck in an unwanted conversation,how do you get out of it?【解题导语】本文主要介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话.1.B解析:选项B中的so就是指空前的“get a refill”这一行为;同时空后的“make a move fast...as well”与选项B的内容相呼应.2.C解析:空后的代词it指代空处前一句中的“I’m not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind?”,所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关;同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌”在内容和语气方面是一致的.3.G解析:根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知,空后的两句话是对选项G这一疑问句的回答,选项G能够引出下文,符合语境.4.D解析:根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知,该段也应用祈使句作主题句;同时根据该段中的第一句可知,把目光从这个人身上移开,不要有眼神交流,这样可以给对方强烈的暗示,使其发现这段谈话极其无聊,这与选项D “使用肢体语言暗示厌烦”相吻合.5.F解析:空处起承上启下的作用,且根据该段主题句可知,使用肢体语言暗示厌烦,所以选项F “看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引”与之吻合.Ⅲ语法填空(2018·长春监测)On the first day of her work, Sally found that a class full of problems was waiting for her. She was told six teachers 1.____________(quit) before her. When she walked intothe classroom, it was chaos: two boys were fighting in a corner, yet 2.____________rest of the class seemed not to notice them; some girls were chatting and some were running about with paper, food packages and other garbage 3.____________(leave) everywhere.Sally walked onto the platform, 4.____________(pick) up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard: “Rule 1: We are family!”All students stopped 5.____________(look) at her.

The first job she consideredwas the director of HR for a company in Utah.After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture.She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that,” Isabel says. She calledthe company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job:a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives:itprovided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits,and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“ It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night,” she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings,” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·江西名校联盟检测)Several decades ago, educators in theU.S.A.began to call attention to a national problem: most students leaveAmerican schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or forhigher education.This was especially true for female and minoritystudents.The Educational Testing Service reported that, in an international survey, American teenagers had the lowest math scores.This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”,or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians, teachers, and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that, in addition to poor education, there are many psychological blocks.Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result, those students fall further and further behind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not always been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”—the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In addition, math textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures, and to discover relationships.Traditional computing skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are still being taught, of course. However, there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策。
1.What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A.Students with low scores fear to ask their teachers for help.B.Poor equipment in classrooms limits teens’chances to learn.C.Math anxiety, hardly noticed, is actually a silent call for help.D.Poorsighted students can’t see clearly, which is a silent call for help.C解析:句意理解题。
根据上下文及画线句前面的“Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.”可知,学生会因自己不懂某些数学知识感到尴尬,而这又会使他们产生恐惧心理,恐惧可能导致沉默,因为学生不想让人注意到自己知识匮乏,相应地,老师也就会忽略学生这方面的不足,由此可知,C项最能传达该画线句的含义。
2.Which may lead to American students’innumeracy?A.The methods of teaching.B.The difficulty of math itself.C.Students’lack of interest in math.D.Schools’not attaching enough value to it.A解析:细节理解题。
