A
In the United States of America，the legal voting age is 18 years.Though some Americans have expressed interest in raising the voting age，saying that these important decisions should not be left in the hands of a teenager，I disagree.I believe that those who are 18 years old are ready to take on the responsibility for voting.
We all know that in the United States，18 is the age when an individual is considered an adult by the government.Being an adult in the eyes of the law is quite different than simply being a juvenile．Punishments for illegal activities become much heavier.Additionally，at 18，an individual can join the army without receiving permission from his parents to do so.So，when a citizen turns 18，the politics of the country start affecting him in a completely different way.It is unfair to let one lead a severer lifestyle and not allow him any choice in the matter.
Furthermore，by allowing a teenager to vote，we are helping to ensure that he will become more politically minded at a younger age.I didn't care at all about the politics of my country when I couldn't vote.As I couldn't do anything about the politics at the time，I couldn't see why I should care.It wasn't until I turned 18 years of age that I started actively trying to understand who ran my government and the way in which it was governed.By allowing 18-year-olds to vote，we are getting them engaged in the world of politics much sooner.
In addition，teenagers today are much smarter than we think.Today's society is much more technologically advanced than it was in the past.Teenagers have access to all kinds of information through the Internet and their smartphones.So，teenagers have enough knowledge to make good decisions.
Therefore，I think 18 is indeed a proper age to make important political decisions and those who are 18 should be allowed to make important decisions that will affect their nation.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。有人认为应该提高美国的选举年龄，作者对此表示反对。1．The underlined word “juvenile” in Paragraph 2 probably means________．A．child B．soldier C．teenager D．criminal
答案 C [词义猜测题。根据本句中的than可知，这里是与本句开头的adult作对比。根据常识可知，18岁正是从“青少年”向“成年”过渡的年龄。由此可推测，这里指成年人承担的法律责任和义务都与“青少年”大不相同。]
2．When reaching 18，the author________．
A．loved his country more than before
B．changed his attitude towards politics
C．worked in a governmental institution
D．called for a reduction in the voting age
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的I didn't care at all about the politics of my country when I couldn't vote...It wasn't until I turned 18 years of age that I started actively trying to understand who ran my government and the way in which it was governed可以看出，作者18岁以后改变了自己对政治的态度，从漠不关心到积极参与。] 3．The author believes “teenagers today are much smarter than we think” because they________．
A．are quick-minded
B．are well-informed
C．can use modern technologies on their own
D．can act according to changing circumstances
答案 B [推理判断题。根据本句后的内容，尤其是Teenagers have access to all kinds of information及teenagers have enough knowledge可知，作者说“如今的青少年比我们想象中聪明得多”是说他们消息灵通、知识广博。]
4．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
CP：Central Point P：Point
Sp：Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion
答案 C [篇章结构题。通读全文可知，作者在第一段提出了自己的观点：I believe that those who are 18 years old are ready to take on the responsibility for voting，随后在第二、三、四段证明自己的观点，这三段的结尾It is unfair to let one lead a severer lifestyle and not allow him any choice in the matter，By allowing 18-year-olds to vote，we are getting them engaged in the world of politics much sooner和So，teenagers have enough knowledge to make good decisions就是作者的三个论据。最后一段是作者得出的结论。故选C项。]
B
According to a recent investigation，35% of unemployed Americans ages 25 to 54 believed that they'd been replaced by technology.That is to say，technology threatens traditional work.Is that a bad thing?
Many economists associate the middle class's shrinking partly with the fact that technology is replacing people.Increasingly，there are jobs for people with higher degrees and hands-on laborers like home health care aides，but more and more of what's in between can be automated.Self-driving cars are coming; mini planes will be operated by radio to deliver goods.It is even said that software developers themselves might someday be replaced by the very programs they create.
It's true that software can do more work than human beings used to do.But historically，technological progress has brought more benefits than losses.If you look at the change from an agrarian (农业的) to an industrial society，that's
certainly true.From 1900 to 2000，the proportion (比例) of people working on farms fell from 41% to 2%，yet agricultural output increased and farmers eventually found jobs in factories.
There is a strong argument that the jobs and value technology creates just aren't being counted properly.People like Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky couldn't agree more.Founded in 2008 and based in San Francisco，California，Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list，discover，and book unique accommodations around the world—online or from a mobile phone.His company may have 30 million users and only 1，600 employees，but Chesky says it creates many more “21st century jobs” by helping make extra income for hosts who rent their homes and for local businesses and such service providers as cleaners who benefit from the arrival of vacationers.For New York City alone，Chesky puts the value of that additional income at $257 million annually，which the company claims supports 6，600 jobs.
Facing the new economy，people who are smart and well educated may do better.But what about those who aren't as well positioned? The obvious answer is for government to provide more help through a reformed educational system，workforce training and a social safety net.Some companies are making big private contributions to educational reform，but more will be needed.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。有人认为科技的进步造成很多人失业，作者却认为科技带来的利大于弊，并呼吁政府和更多的公司参与到教育改革中，帮人们做好准备应对科技对传统工作的冲击。
5．According to Paragraph 2，who are most likely to find a job in the future? A．Deliverers. B．Caregivers.
C．Professional drivers. D．Software developers.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的Increasingly，there are jobs for...home health care aides...Self-driving cars are coming; mini planes will be operated by radio to deliver goods...software developers themselves might someday be replaced by the very programs they create 可知，无人驾驶技术会使司机失业；遥控投递飞机会使投递员失业；软件开发员可能会被自己开发的程序替代，只有护工需要身体力行，有市场需求。]
6．What's the author's opinion on technological progress?
A．It creates new jobs while replacing people.
B．It forces farmers to work in factories.
C．It encourages educational reform.
D．It leads to huge unemployment.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的technological progress has brought more benefits than losses及随后举的例子可以看出，科技的进步虽然会造成一部分人失业，但最终会带来更大的利，创造更多的工作岗位。]
7．The author develops Paragraph 4 mainly by________．
A．providing explanations
B．making comparisons
C．using examples
D．telling stories
答案 C [写作手法题。作者以Airbnb为例说明科技创造的工作和价值往往被低估。故选C项。]
8．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
CP：Central Point P：Point
Sp：Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion
答案 A [篇章结构题。作者首先在第一段提出了本文的论点：科技威胁传统工作。第二段支持该论点，认为科技会取代一部分人的工作；第三、四段则反对该论点，认为科技创造的利大于弊并且科技创造的工作和价值往往被低估。面对科技威胁传统工作的形势，作者在最后一段给出了建议：教育改革。故选A项。]

Five Facts about Goal Setting
These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals.
__1__When it comes to making a change，the people who succeed are those who set realistic and specific goals.“I'm going to recycle a ll my plastic bottles，soda cans and magazines.” is a much more doable (可做的) goal than “I'm going to do something for the environment.” And the former one is easy to realize.
It takes time for a change to become a fixed habit.It will probably take a couple of months before any changes—like getting up half an hour early to exercise—become a routine in your life.__2__
__3__Speak out your goal each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for.Every time you remind yourself of your goal，you're training your brain to make it happen.Writing it down also works.
Pleasing others doesn't work.__4__You have to do it because you want it，not because someone else wants you to.It is hard to keep motivated if you're doing something out of obligation (义务)．
Roadblocks (障碍)don't mean failure.Mistakes are part of the learning process.__5__But that's OK—it's normal to give up several times when you try to make a change.So remember that everyone makes mistakes and don't beat yourself up.Just remind yourself to keep going.
A．Keep track of your progress.
B．Repeat your goal every day.
C．Specific and realistic goals work best.
D．It may take a few tries to reach a goal.
E．Find the desire within yourself when you set a goal.
F．That's because your brain needs time to get used to the idea.
G．Make your goals smaller steps that move you towards larger ones.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文，题材为日常生活类。本文说明了树立目标的一些情况。1．C [本段通过举例说明设定具体的、切合实际的目标效果最好，并且段落中set realistic
and specific goals 有提示，故选C 。]
2．F [本选项用来解释说明原因，选项中的That 指代前面提到的内容，故选F 。]
3．B [根据本段内容可以概括出本段的主旨，即每天重复你的目标，故选B 。]
4．E [本选项承上启下，说明树立目标时要找到你内心真正渴望的东西，故选E 。]
5．D [本选项承接上一句，继续说明实现目标要经过多次尝试，也为下一句做了铺垫，故选D 。]

高考真题题组训练(八) Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016全国Ⅱ,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 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 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.” “Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?” 1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .

高考真题题组训练(四) Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016全国Ⅲ,C) If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent. 1.What can people do at the apple events? A.Attend experts’ lectures. B.Visit fruit-loving families. C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples. 2.What can we learn about Decio?
[即时演练] A 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it’s better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can’t make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes，“Haste makes waste.”We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives. Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ One possible version： To live life at a slower pace is better than to live life in a hurry. There are three reasons for this.Firstly, doing things in a hurry will raise the possibility of making mistakes.Secondly, being in a hurry will not give people enough time to enjoy their life.Thirdly, doing things in a hurry raises people’s pressure and therefore is bad for their health.In brief, it is better for people to live life at a slower pace than to live life in a hurry.
