Born in 356 B.C.,Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias.Alexander's parents wanted him to receive the finest education,and arranged for him to study under Aristotle,regarded as one of the greatest scholars.Alexander's father was a strong leader.Philip Ⅱ built an impressi ve army and established the Macedonian kingdom;he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death. In 336 B.C.,Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards.Although it was obv ious that the guard had a personal hatred,there were clues that other people were related to it.After Alexander was cleared as a suspect,he succeeded his father without opposition,and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder,as well as all rivals.He was then just 20 years old.He then prep ared to attack Persia.In the spring of 334 B.C.,Alexander led the army made up of nearly 50,000 soldiers into Asia,which was called “the most powerful military expedition (远征)ever to leave Greece”.He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River,sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ,leader of the Persian Empire.In 333 B.C.,Alexander faced Darius again at Issus,a mountain pass.The Macedonian army was greatly outnumber ed but able to work the narrow mountain passageway to their a dvantage.Darius managed to escape.Continuing down the Medi terranean Coast,Alexander took every city in his path.In 332 B.C.,Alexander declared Egypt to be part of the Greek Empire and w as crowned Pharaoh(法老).When Alexander left Egypt in 331 B.C.,he defeated the Persians again and was crowned leader of Asi a.In 323 B.C.,however,Alexander developed a fever on the way back home and died 1 0 days later at Babylon.He was just 33 years old.1.What can we know about Philip Ⅱ's death?A.He was killed by someone intending to take power from him .B.Alexander sent someone who hated Philip Ⅱ to kill him. C.His death was related to his plan of fighting Persia. D.The murder might be organized by a group of people. 2.The Macedonian army could defeat the Persians at Issus m ainly because ______.A.Darius didn't command his army in the battlefieldB.the Macedonian soldiers were more than the Persian soldie rs in numberC.the Macedonian soldiers could fight better at the mountain p assD.Macedonia was more powerful than the Persian Empire 3.In which order did Alexander do the following things? a.Totally overthrew the Persian Empire.b.Defeated the Persian army at Issus.c.Was crowned Pharaoh of Egypt.d.Defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River. e.Became the leader of Macedonia.A.e,d,b,c,a B.d,e,a,c,bC.e,b,d,c,a D.d,a,c,e,b4.According to the passage,we can infer ______. A.Aristotle taught Alexander how to defeat other nations B.Alexander was happy about his father's deathC.Persia is tougher to defeat than EgyptD.Macedonia soon declined after Alexander diedBThe brown widow spider became established in Southern Califo rnia in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider famil y in urban Los Angeles and San Diego.The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could po ssibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa althou gh it was first described from South America,which adds confusion as to where it might have originated.It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii,Florida,parts of Australia,South Africa and Japan.In North America,the brown widow spider was restricted for many decades to the Florida Peninsula.However,around the year 2000,it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states.Brown widows a re now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around home s and in woody vegetation with branches.Some typical sites sel ected by brown widows for web building are empty containers s uch as buckets and nursery pots,mail boxes,entry way corners,under eaves,storage closets and garages,undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long per iods,and the undersides of outdoor furniture.They choose places tha t are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and ther efore,appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far a s bites are concerned.One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is l ess poisonous than other widow species.The reason for the we aker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly becaus e the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger rela tives,but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison.The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite are that the bite hurts when it is given and it leaves a red mark.These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders. There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals.Most current advice is what is used f or controlling spiders in general.Therefore,most commercially available farm chemicals should work on bro wn widows.Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage shoul d reduce nest sites for them.Also,one should store garage items in plastic bags where there migh t be interactions with spiders.These items include rarely worn g arments such as gardening clothes and gloves,recreational items like sports equipment(i.e.,baseball gloves)and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fin gers can be inserted.5.The author wrote this article to ______.A.announce the result of a research on spiders B.introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC.report a new finding of the widow speciesD.warn readers against the brown widow6.From the passage we can conclude that ______.A.brown widows are possibly spreading northward B.brown widows originated from AfricaC.brown widows now can be found in all countriesD.there used to be no brown widows in North America 7.The third paragraph is mainly about ______.A.the brown widow's web buildingB.the characteristics of the brown widowC.the habitat preferences of the brown widowD.the brown widow's threat to human beings8.It can be inferred that ______.A.brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB.at present people can only control brown widow spiders C.the brown widow has more poison than the black widow D.victims bitten by the brown widow needn't see the doctorCYou've heard of the dangers of secondhand smoke.Now here's another worry:secondhand TV.A growing number of researchers are warning about the dangers of watching TV when very young children are nearby.Recent findings suggest that even casual exposure to TV can harm their development and ruin parentchild interaction s(沟通).The most recent warning came last week when the American A cademy of Pediatrics(儿科)for the first time included warnings about “secondhand televisio n” in its guidelines for kids under age 2.In addition to the time for young kids to watch TV,it warned against watching TV with them nearby,saying the practice hurt their language development.It pointed t o several studies,including one that found background TV reduced the length of ti me children played and caused their focus on play to wander.R ecent surveys find that about one of three families leave the TV on most of the time.The warning said TV keeps young kids and their parents from i nteracting—a key way children develop the working vocabulary they'll need in school.“If you're trying to connect with your kids,you've got to turn the screens off,”says Ari Brown,a pediatrician and lead author on the recommendations.She wo rries that when the focus is on TV,there's less talk time.Brown discourages families from keeping the TV on when no one is watching and suggests they wait until very young kids are in bed before they watch their favorite sho w.“Parents are distracted(分散注意力)by TV the same way preschoolers are,”says Lisa Guernsey,author of the 2007 book Into the Minds of Babies:How Screen Time Affects Children From Birth to Age Five.She says young children learn much more from facetoface interactio n than a screen.“They see someone who's able to do that as a t rue learning partner,”she says.“They don't have any way of kn owing whether that character or face on screen really understan ds them.”9.Which of the following is the bad effect of secondhand TV w atching?A.It caused children not to play attentively.B.It hurt children's feelings to their parents.C.It made children suffer from the violence on TV.D.It taught children some improper language.10.What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A.Parents should limit the TV time for children.B.Parents should spend time playing with children. C.Parents should buy another TV for their children. D.Parents should strengthen their children's language development.11.What is suggested in the fourth paragraph?A.When everybody in the family focuses on TV,there is more talk time.B.Interacting plays an important part in developing kids' vocab ulary.C.The characters on TV screen can really understand young c hildren.D.Adults learn much more from facetoface interaction than a s creen.DBy creating a distinctive username and reusing it on multiple we bsites,you may be giving online marketers and scammers a simple wa y to track you.Four researchers from the French National Institu te for Research in Computer Science(INRIA)studied over 10 million usernames—collected from public Google profiles,eBay accounts and several other sources.They found that abou t half of the usernames used on one site could be linked to anot her online profile,potentially allowing marketers and scammers to build a more complex picture of the users.“These results show that some users can be profiled just from t heir usernames,”says Claude Castelluccia,research director of the security and privacy research group at I NRIA,and one of the authors of a paper on the work.“More specifically ,a profiler could use usernames to identify all the profiles that bel ong to the same user and then use all the information contained in these sites to profile the victim.”Those who have more unique usernames are more likely to be attacked.The INRIA researchers have created a tool that can ch eck how unique a username is,and thus how easily an attacker could use it to build a profile of a person.Researches are exploring ways that the traces of data that peo ple leave on different websites could be combined and used to t rack them.A 2010 paper showed that the online groups to which people belonged could be used to infer their real identity in 42 percent of cases.Building profiles of consumers using online information has alre ady become a major industry for marketers as well as online cri minals.12.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Look out for online criminalsB.Your username may betray youC.Don't leave your traces onlineD.A unique username is more attractive13.Online marketers may use your username to ______. A.get a picture of yoursB.steal from your online accountC.get useful information about youD.find out your interest or hobbies14.The main purpose of the passage is probably to ______. A.warn us of the possible dangers of a unique username B.tell us how to manage our online informationC.advise us on how to choose a proper usernameD.tell us the importance of a username15.We can infer from the passage that ______.A.it's hard to build a profile of a person from an online userna meB.it's better to use a more complex username onlineC.an online username has little to do with the real personD.we'd better not use the same username on different sites 第二节信息匹配16.In the event that you are currently in a teen relationship,harmonious teen relationships can prevent you from experienci ng problems within our relationship,and it may also help you to move past any problems that you m ay already have.Check out the complete article to learn what te en relationships may do for you.17.During the time that you are in your teens,it can be a tremendously exciting and passionate time for indivi duals,and at anytime that you are in a relationship during your teens ,it is very important that you show the maximum level of respect ,both for your partner and yourself.The interactions and actions within relationships at this particular age may leave lasting impr essions on all of your relationship for many years to come,so why don't you make all of them good impressions?18.Within these early relationships,when mistrust is present,it may easily lead to really severe issues with trust in relationshi ps once you get a little older.It is very important for you to prove to your significant ones(重要的人)that you are trustworthy of them.19.Whether you like it or not,there are some teenagers that simply don't take their relationshi ps seriously.In the end,this may lead to several problems,of which cheating is the most common problem.When you havesomeone cheat on you,it is among the most painful things that may happen within your life,and it is particularly hard to get over it if it happens at a young a ge.In order to prevent this,when you are with someone,you should take a moment to talk about each other's expectatio ns.20.Each of the relationships that you go through during your teens may be among the most intense that you will ever encounter wit hin your wholelife.It may also feel like when something happens it is going to f eel like the world is coming to an end,but it really isn't going to be.Chances are that you are going to move on from the situations that happen and meet many new in dividuals and have some new relationships,and they are going to be just as exciting and new as the relation ship that you have been experiencing currently.2013年高考第二轮复习英语陕西版第一节阅读理解AAs the forceful king of Macedonia(马其顿),Alexander the Great overthrew the Persian Empire,becoming a hero that would survive centuries after his death.Born in 356 B.C.,Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias.Alexander's parents wanted him to receive t he finest education,and arranged for him to study under Aristotle,regarded as one of the greatest scholars.Alexander's father was a strong leader.Philip Ⅱ built an impressive army and established the Ma cedonian kingdom;he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death.In 336 B.C.,Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards.Although it was obvious that the guard had a perso nal hatred,there were clues that other people were related to it.After Alexander was cleared as a suspect,he succeeded his father without opposition,and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder,as well as all rivals.He was then just 20 years old.He then prepared to attack Persia.In the spring of 334 B.C.,Alexander led the army made up of nearly 50,000 soldiers into Asia,which was called “the most powerful military expedition(远征)ever to leave Greece”.He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River,sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ,leader of the Persian Empire.In 333 B.C.,Alexander faced Darius again at Issus,a mountain pass.The Macedonian army was greatly outnumbered but able to work the narrow mountain passageway to their advantage.Darius managed to escape.Continuing down the Medi terranean Coast,Alexander took every city in his path.In 332 B.C.,Alexander declared Egypt to be part of the Greek Empire and was crowned Pharaoh(法老).When Alexander left Egypt in 331 B.C.,he defeated the Persians again and was crowned leader of Asia.In 323 B.C.,however,Alexander developed a fever on the way back home and died 10 days later at Babylon.He was j ust 33 years old.1.What can we know about Philip Ⅱ's death?A.He was killed by someone intending to take power from him.B.Alexander sent someone who hated Philip Ⅱ to kill him.C.His death was related to his plan of fighting Persia.D.The murder might be organized by a group of people.2.The Macedonian army could defeat the Persians at Issus mainly because ______.

高中英语真题:2013年高考第二轮复习英语陕西版第一节阅读理解AThe Alps are the youngest and highest mountain system in Eur ope.They stretch across the western and southern part of the c ontinent in a broad arc.The mountain range starts near the Med iterranean Sea on the border between France and Italy.Then it curves north and eastward through northern Italy,Switzerland,Liechtenstein,southern Germany,Austria and Slovenia.The Alps are about 1,000 km long,and the broadest section is over 260 km wide.The highest peak ,Mont Blanc,situated on the border between France,Italy and Switzerland,rises 4,807 meters above sea level.Other famous peaks are the Monte Rosa,the Matterhorn,the GroBglockner and the Zugspitze.Millions of years ago the area of today's Alps was covered by a large sea that separated Europe and Africa.The southern landmass started moving northwards.This movement folded rock la yers at the bottom of the sea.Heat and pressure transformed th e rock and pushed the_material upwards.Today these regions a re the highest parts of the Alps.Most of the newly formed rock is granite and gneiss,but many ranges consist of limestone which also formed on the seabed.During the Ice Age,which started about a million years ago,the Alps were covered with a thick blanket of snow.Glaciers mo ved down valleys and made them wider and deeper.As they mo ved they took rock and other material with them,creating moraines(冰碛).When glaciers started to melt water filled up behind thes e natural dams and created the alpine lakes we know today. The largest of these glaciers is the Aletsch in Switzerland which reaches a length of about 25 km.The longest glacier of the east ern Alps is the 8 km long Pasterze,at the foot of the GroBglockner.The ice and snow of the alpine regions helped create the large r ivers of today:the Rhine,Rhone,Danube and the Po. 1.From the first two paragraphs we know the Alps ______. A.are about 260 km wideB.stretch across the western part of AfricaC.are the youngest mountain system in the worldD.have the highest peak 4,807 meters above sea level 2.What does the underlined phrase “this material” in Para.3 re fer to?A.Sea water and rock.B.Rock that was transformed.C.Rock layers that were folded.D.Limestone which was on the seabed.3.It can be inferred from the passage that the Alps were forme d ______.A.before the Ice Age B.during the Ice Age C.because of seas' movement D.because of glaciers' mo vement4.From the passage we know Danube is ______.A.a kind of rock B.one of the Alps' famous peaks C.the name of a river D.one of the largest glaciersBNanoparticles(纳米粒子)are everywhere,from cosmetics and clothes,to soda and snacks.But as common as they are,they also have a downside,say researchers at Binghamton University and Cornell Universit y in a recent paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnol ogy.These tiny particles,even in low doses,could have a big impact on our longterm health.According to the lead author of the article,Gretchen Mahler,assistant professor of bioengineering at Binghamton University ,much of the existing research on the safety of nanoparticles ha s been directly related to health effects.But what Mahler and a t eam of researchers really wanted to know was what happens w hen someone gets constant exposure in small doses—the kind you'd get if you took a drug or supplement that include d nanoparticles in some form.“We thought that the best way to measure the more subtle(精细的)effects of this kind of intake was to monitor the reaction of intest inal(肠道的)cells,”said Mahler.“And we did this in two ways:through human intestinallining cells that we had cultured in the l ab,and through the intestinal linings of live chickens.Both sets of re sults pointed to the same thing—that exposure to nanoparticles influences the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.”The uptake of iron was of particular interest due to the way it is absorbed and processed through the intestines.“What we found was that for brief exposures,iron absorption dropped by about 50 percent,”said Mahler.“Bu t when we extended that period of time,absorption actually increased by about 200 percent.It was very clear—nanoparticles definitely affect iron uptake and transport.”While brief oral exposure disrupted intestinal iron transport,longtime exposure caused intestinal cells to be larger and broa der,thus allowing iron to enter the bloodstream much f aster.“The int estinal cells are a gateway that ingested nanoparticles must go through to get to the body,”said Mahler.“We monitored iron ab sorption and found that the polystyrene nanoparticles affected t he absorption process and caused a physiological resp onse.”5.What is the best title for the passage?A.Nanoparticles are common in our life.B.Nanoparticles have an effect on our health.C.We should know more about nanoparticles.D.The intake of nanoparticles should be banned. 6.Gretchen Mahler's research is to ______.A.measure the direct health effects of iron uptakeB.find out the effect of longtime exposure to nanoparticles C.explore how to reduce the effects of nanoparticles D.study how nanoparticles affect chickens7.The underlined word “disrupted” in the last paragraph proba bly means “______”.A.disordered B.benefitedC.discovered D.followed8.In which part of a magazine can this passage most likely be found?A.Science.

D.Global warming is very serious in many countries.10.A brand of wine with poor quality bears the feature of ____ __.A.a lower alcohol level B.a lower PH levelC.a lower acidity level D.a lower sugar level11.The last paragraph indicates that ______.A.wines produced in the countries in the southern hemisphere have low pricesB.French wine producers face more threats from the rise of te mperatureC.the southern countries have much higher temperature comp ared with the northD.the countries in the southern hemisphere would have ideal climate for wine producingDScientists think it will be possible to record people's dreams and then interpret them.They claim to have developed a system wh ich allows them to record higher level brain activity.Dr Moran C erf told the journal Nature:“We would like to read people's dreams.”Previously the only wa y to access people's dreams is for psychologists to ask about th em after the event and try to interpret them.Dr Cerf hopes to eventually compare people's memories of their dreams with an electronic picture of their brain activity.He told t he BBC:“There's no clear answer as to why humans dream.And one of t he questions we would like to answer is when do we actually cr eate this dream.”The scientist believes his latest research shows that certain neu rons(神经元)or individual brain cells are linked with specific objects or conce pts.He found that a particular neuron lit up when a volunteer tho ught about Marilyn Monroe.If a database was built up identifyin g various neurons with concepts,objects and people,it would allow them to “read the subject's minds”,according to Dr Cerf.However,Dr Roderick Oner,a clinical psychologist and dream expert,said that this kind of picture would be of limited help when it ca me to interpreting the “complex dream story”.In order to get a detailed picture of individual neurons,scientists had to have electrodes(电极)implanted deep in the brain by using surgery.The Nature resear chers used data from patients who had electrodes implanted to monitor and treat them for brain seizures.However,Dr Cerf said he hoped that it would be possible at a later stage t o monitor people without invasive surgery.He said it would be “wonderful” to be able to read the minds of coma(昏迷的)patients who are unable to communicate.12.How did we record and interpret our dreams in the past? A.We couldn't do that because of our limited science knowled ge.B.Only some scientists could do that with some special syste ms.C.Everyone could do that by asking about the dreamers after t he event.D.Psychologists could do that by asking about the dreamers a fter the event.13.What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?A.Dr Cerf's latest research is really a success.B.Dr Cerf's latest research turns out to be a failure.C.Not all scientists are in favor of Dr Cerf's opinion.D.All scientists think Dr Cerf's research is ridiculous.14.Why did scientists have electrodes implanted deep in the b rain?A.Because they wanted to gain a more clear image of individu al neurons.B.Because they hoped to find a new way of curing the patient s' brain seizures.C.Because they could get the data that would be used for trea ting brain seizures.D.Because they wanted to read the minds of coma patients u nable to communicate.15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park,”he'd told his wife.“I'll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mo m.”Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little“good kids”—Mike,Randy,and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted“breakfast,daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted“Where's my toast,where's my toast”in the background.Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named“Not Me”had spilled a whole glass of o range juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o'clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously “yes”because Brad was smiling.4.When his wife left home,Brad expected to ______.A.go out for a walk in the parkB.watch TV talk show with his childrenC.enjoy his first day off workD.read the newspaper to his children5.Which of the following did Randy do?A.Drawing on the wall.B.Eating apple jam.C.Feeding the fish.D.Reading in a room.6.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A.Because he wanted to clean up his house.B.Because he suddenly had to go to his office.C.Because he found it hard to manage his boys.D.Because he had to take his wife back home.7.This text is developed ______.A.by space B.by comparisonC.by process D.by timeC(2012·陕西高考,C)Eating too much fatty food,exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease.But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately:the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke(中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure.In one review of the research,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants(污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure.A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)considers to be of“moderate”(良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices.So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.8.The text mainly discusses the relationship between ______.A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food9.The underlined word“modest”in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.A.relatively high B.extremely lowC.relatively low D.extremely high10.What can we learn from the text?A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.11.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to ______.A.inform B.persuadeC.describe D.entertainD(2012·陕西高考,D)Spring is coming,and it is time for those about to graduate to look for petition is tough,so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us,but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身)nose rings,or certain dress styles.It is true you can't judge a book by its cover,yet people do“cover”themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages.What we wear,including tattoos and nose rings,is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies.Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons,but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom,but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees(雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers.There are plenty of wellqualified candidates,so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am openminded,I can't expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards,as long as its standards are legal.12.Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2?A.People's appearances carry messages about themselves.B.Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.C.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.13.What can be inferred from the text?A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.14.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Employees MatterB.Personal Choices MatterC.Appearances MatterD.Hiring Managers Matter15.The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ______.A.enthusiastic B.negativeC.positive

因此,要通过阅读更多地涉及社会文化背景知识,更多地了解并丰富自己的知识。
【考点pk】名师考点透析考点一、细节事实理解。
一篇文章必然是由许多具体的细节、具体的内容构成的,所有这些信息以某种顺序(时间、空间、情感变化等)排列起来,来进一步解释或阐释主题,体现文章的主旨大意。
细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力,属于表层理解题范畴,难度较小,但在整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大,细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。
此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问,也常使用下列方式来提问C.between New York and San FranciscoD.both A and B【解析】由第二段的第一句话和最后一段的最后一句话可得出正确答案是D项。
2.间接事实题解答此类题,需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断或者要进行简单的计算。

TV Station helped Luo Lin to become Miss Asia.【解析】A、C和D项都可在原文找到答案,而B项原文所给的是:taken to Hongkong可判断不是moved to Hongkong with her parents,因此选B。

slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park,”he'd told his wife.“I'll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mo m.”Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little“good kids”—Mike,Randy,and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted“breakfast,daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍).Mike chanted“Where's my toast,where's my toast”in the background.Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someone named“Not Me”had spilled a whole glass of o range juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o'clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answer was obviously “yes”because Brad was smiling.4.When his wife left home,Brad expected to ______.A.go out for a walk in the parkB.watch TV talk show with his childrenC.enjoy his first

there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately:the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke(中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure.In one review of the research,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants(污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure.A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)considers to be of“moderate”(良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices.So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.8.The text mainly discusses the relationship between ______.A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food9.The underlined word“modest”in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.A.relatively high B.extremely lowC.relatively low D.extremely high10.What can we learn from the text?A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.11.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to ______.A.inform B.persuadeC.describe D.entertainD(2012·陕西高考,D)Spring is coming,and it is time for those about to graduate to look for petition is tough,so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us,but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身)nose rings,or certain dress styles.It is true you can't judge a book by its cover,yet people do“cover”themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages.What we wear,including tattoos and nose rings,is an expression of who we are.Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances,so do companies.Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons,but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom,but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees(雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers.There are plenty of wellqualified candidates,so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am openminded,I can't expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards,as long as its standards are legal.12.Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2?A.People's appearances carry messages about themselves.B.Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.C.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.13.What can be inferred from the text?A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.14.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Employees MatterB.Personal Choices MatterC.Appearances MatterD.Hiring Managers Matter15.The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ______.A.enthusiastic B.negativeC.positive D.sympathetic考向分析分析近几年高考试题,可以发现阅读理解题呈现如下特点:1.选材真实,题材、体裁多样材料大多为时文,与社会日常生活息息相关,情景真实、明确,具有浓厚的时代气息。
2013年高考英语阅读理解解题技巧(满分必看)阅读文章题材与特征:1.科技小品:介绍科普知识,科研动态以及科技成果的开发,特点和用途。
此类文章理论性逻辑性较强,叙述条理,层次分明。
特点是科技词汇较多,句子长且结构复杂,难懂。
考生则需用词法,句法和语境三管齐下的方法以达到理解全篇把握主旨的目的。
2.说理小品:有理论,有事实。
有较强的逻辑性。
命题往往从有关细节以及文章的主旨或作者表达的意图等方面着手,考查考生思维和判断能力。
3.新闻报道:主题突出,要点明显。
主要针对5个W(when, where,who, what, why)。
4.人物传记:以叙述某个人物的生平事迹,趣闻轶事,生活背景,成长或奋斗历程等为主。
特点是以时间的先后顺序或事情的发展进程为主线,脉络清楚。
所以,应抓住相关线索来获取有关信息,即主人翁在某个时间做什么,然后通过分析推理综合归纳的方法进行解题。
5.短篇故事:与人物传记不同的是其一般描述的是一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物,时间,地点和事情。
命题往往从故事的情节,人物或事件间的关系,作者的态度,意图以及故事前因后果的推测等方面着手,考查考生对细节的辨认能力和推理判断能力。
6.史地文化:涉及某个或几个国家或地区的,河流,山脉,海洋,城镇等的地理位置以及与之相关的社会生活,政治经济,人文历史,文化习俗等方面的情况,相当一部分文章还附有图标或图表共选择。
考生须弄清相关对象间的关系,结合所学的史地知识,选择正确答案。
7.幽默小品:这类文章是对社会生活,人物的性格特点,行为举止的某些可笑的特征进行戏剧性描绘的特殊文体。
解题时,需要考生仔细揣摩事情发生的背景及作者的意图,特别要把握文章的最后几句,分析它们与上文的对应关系,找出文章的“幽默点”。
8.图形表格:无文字表述,或只有少量的文字表述。
要求考生依据提供的图表进行理解或描述。
常见的图表有流程图,地图,演示图,直方图,平面图等。
阅读时必须弄清图表中个部分间的对应关系,同时针对题目要求进行有目的地阅读。
