第十六组(建议用时:20分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解I went to a New York Mets’ fantasy camp in 1995, an incredible experience. I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the former Yankees’ star pitcher(投手) and Mets’ and Yankees’ coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “twoseamer”,a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight fourseam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis(诊断) of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stemcell transplant.In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stemcell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankees’ locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! “I feel great, and I’m not retiring,” he told me.This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant, I repeated to myself, “Look at Mel. If he can do it, so can I.”1.Why did the author say he was lucky in paragraph 1?A.He joined a famous team.B.He met an unusual coach.C.He was successfully cured.D.He was chosen as a pitcher.2.What do we know about the author?A.He was not skilled in pitching.B.He was a good baseball player.C.He called Mel for his treatment.D.He forgot what Mel had told him.3.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma?A.23. B.45.C.59. D.61.4.What would be a suitable title for the text?A.The Skills Taught by My Former CoachB.The Transplant Given by the Same DoctorsC.My Baseball Team Helping Me OutD.My Coach’s Spirits Shining on MeⅡ.任务型阅读Age has its privileges in America, and one of the most important of them is the senior citizen discount.Anyone who has reached a certain age—in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life.Eligibility(资格) is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate.Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses—as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent(有支付能力的).Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans.The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous(同义的).Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population.To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor.But most of them aren’t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies.For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue.But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans.Moreover, they are a direct irritant(刺激物) in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involve a transfer of resources from the young to the old.Employment is another sore point.Supported by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job—thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others.Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment; and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other agegroups.Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against—discrimination by age.Outline DetailsIntroduction Age determines whether an American can be given a discount, which is a common 1.____________ in American business life today.Origin of senior citizen discount Since the senior citizens are often treated as people who are in2.____________,they are given such priority.3.____________situation •The situation has changed a lot where the majority of the elderly were poor.•Younger Americans were a(n) 4.____________ directly or indirectly due to the discounts given to the elderly, thus leading to conflicts between generations.•The number of older Americans 5.____________ to work rather than retire is on the increase, which means 6.____________ opportunities for young workers.•It is no longer a kind of charity because millions of senior citizens don’t need the priority 7.____________ now.Conclusion It’s unwise to offer discount priority to the elderly.•It will mislead people to think they are unable to 8.____________ to themselves.•People may think that they are ungrateful and they’re hurting the9.____________ of other age groups.•Actually senior citizen discounts, to some extent, 10.____________ against their age.第十六组Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】 文章叙述了作者在参加度假营时遇到了投球教练Mel,作者之后不幸患上癌症,需要进行干细胞移植。

,, 题型重组练(四)(建议用时:30 分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AIt used to be one of the world ’s most splendid train stations ,sitting on theFrench Spanish border —but then it fell into disrepair.Now ,writes Chris Bockman ,the building is showing new signs of life.The train station was built in iron and glass , c omplete with a hospital , arestaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.Atthe time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountain s”.But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and theSpanish king ,flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(轨距) were different ,so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In theearly 1930s ,as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then thingsgot worse.During the Spanish Civil War the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealedoff to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者) from bringing weapons ter ,the Frenchlost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970 ,thatsignaled that France abandoned the line.The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted ,the ceilings fell inwith the severe winter weather and vandalism(故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place andrestore it ,claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French governmenthas agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to planthe “Titanic ofthe Mountains ” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.Itis reported that the massivewooden ticket counters at the station havealready beenrestored.1.The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT________.A .its poor appearanceB .different gaugesC .the Spanish Civil WarD .slow transporting speed2.What will probably happen to the train station?A .It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the French government.3.What is the best title for the text?A.The Design of a Train StationB.The War Between France and SpainC.The History of a Train StationD.The“Titanic of the Mountains”Coming BackBBeing stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in ahurry is one of the most annoying things.But now,LakesideShopping Centre in Essex,one of the UK’s largest shopping malls,has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry,aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a720foot“fast lane”reserved for fast walkers only,just in time for the festive rush.The centre’s management team said,“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that80percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping.The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by21percent during the festive shopping period,as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer,an expert from the Queensland University of Technology,said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane,and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,”he said.“I think the fast lanes are a new approach.However,I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway,so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include“Skaters”who try and make their way through crowds politely,“Dodgers”who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers,“Bulldoz ers”who push their way throughcrowds,and“Tutters”who express their frustrations to slow walkers.4.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who________.A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilitiesB.buy things on their shopping lists quicklyC.take their time to do window shoppingD.want to leave the mall quickly5.What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?A.Supportive. C.Critical.B.Indifferent. D.Objective.6.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?A.Skaters. C.Bulldozers.B.Dodgers. D.Tutters.7.What is the main idea of the text?A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.B.How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.C.The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was younger,I loved to read.I could get through a whole book in a day, and used to__1__my parents every night to let me stay up later so I could“just __2__my chapter(章节)”.I read any literature(著作)that I could get.However,__3__there are many books for younger children,once you reach your mid teens the choices become__4__.I found myself choosing between books for children that were__5__and boring,and adult books that I couldn’t quite understand.This lack of choice__6__led me to read less and less.When I was in secondary school,the__7__books I read were ones we were assigned in English class,and I was never very__8__about my teacher’s choices.I thought too much discussion of symbolism(象征意义)and themes__9__the book.Maybe the sky being blue didn’t__10__ anything;maybe it was just a description!Rather than making me more__11__in literature,it made me__12__want to pick up a book again.I reluctantly(不情愿地)chose a French literature course in my first year at university.I started out unhappily,determined not to__13__any of the works we were studying over the course of the year.However,I soon__14__that at a university level,the discussion was more__15__and the books more interesting!Being able todiscuss my thoughts with other people meant that I could better__16__the subtle aspects of the books—even the symbolism and themes.I began reading again for__17__.Now,during my year abroad,I spend a lot of my spare time in bookshops and__18__in cafés,and even attend a monthly book club with some other language assistants.Reading is a great way to widen your horizons,__19__your vocabulary and use your imagination.I’m so happy that I__20__my love of books.1.A.advise C.force2.A.study C.choose3.A.unless C.while4.A.limited C.clear5.A.small C.rare6.ually C.hardly7.A.sameC.only8.A.enthusiastic C.doubtful 9.A.reviewed C.explained 10.A.advertise C.represent 11.A.interested C.successful 12.A.nearly C.even13.A.share C.touch14.A.supposed B.ask D.encourage B.change D.finishB.ifD.since B.wideD.free B.special D.silly B.finally D.strangely B.nextD.last B.concerned D.certain B.ruined D.renewed B.answer D.affect B.confident D.disappointed B.already D.never B.enjoy D.learn B.expectedC.realized 15.A.similar C.familiar 16.A.understand C.praise 17.fort C.pleasure 18.A.chatting C.sitting 19.A.expand C.measure 20.A.expressed C.returnedD.thoughtB.formalD.fruitfulB.acceptD.predictB.hopeD.prizeB.readingD.playingB.knowD.showB.experiencedD.rediscovered 题型重组练(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】本文讲述了法国和西班牙边境的一座火车站的历史变迁。
第1部分 题型重组练题型重组练(一)(建议用时:30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·湖南雅礼中学高三模拟)Don’t get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A UI(University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the longterm payoff of studying.“For the teenager, the rewards are attractive,” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager’s best interest to continue, he will still go on. That’s because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”For parents, that means limiting distraction so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma for example: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed to have access to technology,”Vaidya says. “But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(冲动)control skills.”In their study, Vaidya and coauthor Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higherlevel reasoning.“We wanted to try to understand how the brain’s reward system changes from childhood to adulthood,”says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decisionmaking.“We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe,”he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results.1.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.B.Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.C.Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.D.The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the longterm payoff of studying.2.Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya’s idea?A.Children should have access to the Internet.B.Children need help in refocusing their attention.C.Parents should help children in making decisions.D.The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.3.What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?A.Making good decisions.B.Escaping risky behavior.C.Joining in dangerous actions.D.Doing things after some thought.4.How did the researchers carry out their study?A.By examining adults’ brain.B.By examining teenagers’ brain.C.By building the brain’s reward system.D.By making a comparison of brain examinations.BStan Lee, cofounder of the Marvel Universe(漫威宇宙) andcocreator of many of its most popular superheroes, died at the age of 95.Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922. As a son ofworkingclass Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and helived with his family in a shabby singlebedroom apartment. After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name—Stan Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U.S. Army, Lee married his wife, Joan. The two began their 70year marriage and had two children.In the late 1950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later with superteam the Justice League of America.To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own group of superheroes. In 1961, Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut(首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee’s later famous and lasting creations of comicbook superheroes included SpiderMan, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and the XMen.Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic books.5.What do we know about Lee from paragraph 2?A.He served for the U.S. Army for two years.B.He suffered from an unfortunate marriage.C.He had a tough and struggling childhood.D.He adopted his pen name at the age of 16.6.What was the company called when SpiderMan was created?A.Timely Comics. B.Marvel Comics.C.Atlas Comics. D.DC Comics.7.What does the underlined word“icon” in the last paragraph mean?A.Statue. B.Agent.C.Assistant.

Success and opport unity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas,I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wan ted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise —the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other stude nts at Colby were from big cities: New Y ork, Bost on, Los An geles, San Fran cisco... And whe n I had conv ersati ons with these stude nt—in or outside of class —we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “ urba n that'.It was like small tow n America did n't exist.And this urba n in terest does n't just happe n in college.

2020届高三英语二轮复习题型重组练052阅读+1七选五+1语法填空I.阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项AIt’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the U.K. That’s because this music was invented in the U.K. in the early 2000s.To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hiphop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell the m apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s MOBO Awards—“Music of Black Origin” —nominations(提名) in the U.K.Just like U.K. electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But differ ent from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the “Queen of Grime”,said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And the re’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.1.What do hip-hop and grime music have in common?A.They are originated in the U.K.B.They make a lot of loud noise.C.They challenge traditional culture.D.They are full of creative ideas.2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Electronic music.B.Hip-hop.C.Grime music. D.Black music.3.What can be learned about grime singers?A.They care too much about themselves.B.They refuse to be judged by others.C.They tend to take social responsibility.D.They show strong independence qualities.4.What does Skepta’s success suggest?A.Grime is gradually getting recognized.B.Singers sh ould try to be themselves.C.Grime has become mainstream music.D.It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.BIn high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and concentrate on my courses. I was quickly regarded as a “brain”. I did so well that by the end of the senior year I had perfect grades and enough credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.But in early June of the senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I gaped(目瞪口呆地凝视) at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have ruined my perfect record.I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. And my friend Judy would then give her own, full-length speech.Graduation day soon arrived. I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the podium(讲台) without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and headed back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free from my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer he sitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread.

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校题型重组练(四)(建议用时:30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·湖州适应性考试)It used to be one of the world’s most splendid train stations,sitting on the FrenchSpanish border—but then it fell into disrepair.Now,writes Chris Bockman,the building is showing new signs of life.The train station was built in iron and glass,complete with a hospital,a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”.But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king,flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(轨距) were different,so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s,as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War,the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者) from bringing weapons ter,the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970,that signaled that France abandoned the line.The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted,the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism(故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it,claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan,the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.1.The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT ________.A.its poor appearanceB.different gaugesC.the Spanish Civil WarD.slow transporting speed2.What will probably happen to the train station?A.It will be repaired.B.It will be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the French government.3.What is the best title for the text?A.The Design of a Train StationB.The War Between France and SpainC.The History of a Train StationD.The “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming BackBBeing stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now,Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre’s management team said,“ The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said.“I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its w orth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely,“Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” whoexpress their frustrations to slow walkers.4.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ________.A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilitiesB.buy things on their shopping lists quicklyC.take their time to do window shoppingD.want to leave the mall quickly5.What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?A.Supportive. B.Indifferent.C.Critical. D.Objective.6.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?A.Skaters. B.Dodgers.C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters.7.What is the main idea of the text?A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.B.How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.C.The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was younger, I loved to read.

题型重组练(二)(建议用时:25分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·洛阳第二次统考)There is more of a connection between foodand culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eatingthe food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associatefood from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it tiesus to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food fromour family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should embrace our heritage(传统) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.1.What’s the function of food mentioned in the text?A.To help motivate homesickness.B.To show national identity.C.To reflect a country’s history.D.To show a community’s superiority.2.What does the underlined word “it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The specific traditional food.B.The national culture.C.A traditional expression of food.D.The old-fashioned taste.3.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.C.To make the dishes popular among customers.D.To present their own food culture in a new way.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?A.Negative.B.Balanced.C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.BFor those of us who attempt to keep up with the fashion world toensure our cupboards stay fresh, the real skeletons in our cupboards arethose pieces we bought and only wore once or twice—mostly fromfollowing each season’s new trends.With fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M and Zara’s constantoutput of new trendy clothing at low prices, it’s easy to fall into the trap ofbuying clothes regardless of whether you really need them. But unnecessarypurchasing, and the mass production of clothing, aren’t just hard on our wallets—they are hard on the environment.One of the first steps in getting unwanted clothes out of your cupboard is to sell or consign(寄送) them. But because popular resale shops like Buffalo Exchange and Crossroads don’t accept fast fashion brands because they don’t profit enough from them, people often turn to throwing their old clothing in the dustbins.Many consumers don’t realize that clothing and textiles(纺织品) are recyclable or how to recycle them. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States generated 16.22 million tons of waste textiles in 2017 and recycled only 2.62 million tons. Ten and a half million tons of textiles were finally buried under the ground that year.Vetements, a Parisian fashion brand worn by celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna, aimed to bring awareness to the problem of fast fashion brands and clothing waste with a recent window display at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. The window contained a giant pile of clothes. The pile, which grew daily, was made up of old clothes donated by Saks employees and outofseason items from the store.On Aug.10, the clothing from the display was donated to RewearAble, a Long Island recycling program that collects old clothes and textiles, and prepares them for resale or repurposes the textiles.5.What keeps customers coming back to fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M and Zara?A.Good shopping environment.B.Discounts and promotional activities.C.Warm and thoughtful service of the salesmen.D.Low prices and a continuous supply of new looks.6.Where can you find the data that best supports “fast fashion is hard on the environment”?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.7.What can be learned about the window display created by Vetements?A.It can help the environment.B.It does good to people’s health.C.It can help change people’s lives.D.It will take the lead in the latest fashion.8.What is the best title for the text?A.How to Stop Buying Unnecessary ClothesB.Fast Fashion Brands Spread Around the WorldC.The Advantages and Disadvantages of Fast FashionD.Fast Fashion Can Kill Your Wallet and the EnvironmentⅡ.七选五Many people struggle with saying “No”. 1.________ Remember, just because you can do something does not mean it is required. Understand you always have a right to turn down an invitation or refuse a favor and figure out the best ways to say “No”. Here are some specific tips.Give yourself permission to say “No”. Many people have an immediate reaction to say “Yes”when they’re asked to do someone a favor. Keep in mind, you are never required to say “Yes”. It’s actually okay to say “No” sometimes. Accept this as you prepare to say “No” to someone.2.________Set up your personal boundaries. 3.________ However, that reason does not have to be concrete. Many people think if they can do something, they should. Your reason for saying “No”can be a simple matter of your own personal boundaries. Think about what boundaries you have, and accept the fact you’re allowed to stay true to them.4.________ People often won’t take “No” for an answer. If you say “No” to people, they may give you various reasons to try and change your mind. Stay determined for your decision and do not give in easily.Practice saying “No”. It may sound silly, but you can actually practice saying “No”alone.5.________ Practice g iving a firm “No” to someone so you can get comfortable with the words. Many people are nervous about saying “No” and may say “Yes” due to anxiety. Practicing can help get rid of some of this anxiety.A.This will help you say “No” with ease.B.Be aware of potential persuasion techniques.C.Find a good chance to stand in front of a crowd.D.It’s always easier to say “No”if you have a reason.E.Try standing before a mirror and looking at yourself.F.It’s rather easy for you to set up your personal boundaries.G.If someone asks you a favor, you may feel you have to say “Yes”.题型重组练(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
2020届高三英语二轮复习题型重组练202阅读+1完型+1语法填空+1书面表达I.阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项ARich as a KingWilliam I who conquered England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower(割草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead pe ople, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, b ut no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby. I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.1.What does the underlined phrase“get by”in the first paragraph mean?A.Succeed as a king.B.Deal with complaints.C.Live in a satisfactory way.D.Get some extra money.2.How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.3.According to the passage, the author intends to ________.A.tell us to be content with lifeB.warn us to live in a simple wayC.teach us to learn lessons from lifeD.encourage us to struggle for wealth4.What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A.Doubtful. B.Optimistic.C.Uncaring. D.Cautious.BCoca-Cola, which reportedly produced more than 3 million tons of plastic packaging in 2017, announced that it wanted to“help fix the world’s plastic waste problem one community at a time”.The soda giant is doing so by providing $5.4 million for recycling programs in cities like Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Houston. In these cities, partners, like The Green Blue Institute and The Recycling Partnership, which receive the money, will work together to improve recycling rates.“We focus on areas where we have the ability to make the biggest influence on communities through the funding and expert skills of CocaCola employees,”Carlos Pagoaga, CocaCola’s group director of community partnerships, said in a statement.“In each city, local partners will work together to identify barriers to recycling on a local level and test a range of solutions,”he added. “We hope the learning from these‘model markets’ can offer solutions to oth er cities facing similar challenges.”As part of the effort, The Recycling Partnership and the city of Atlanta, where the CocaCola company’s headquarters are based, will send street teams out to open recycling carts and leave citizens cards informing them what they can and can’t recycle, and let them know how their efforts work.“Two of the most urgent problems with recycling in the U.S. today are lack of access and the pollution in recycling,”Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership, said in a sta tement. “We know from the success of Atlanta in 2017 that the citizens want to recycle, and that communicating with them in the street works.”Last year, CocaCola announced its task to collect and reuse a bottle or can for each one it sells, and increase the amount of its products out of recycled materials to 50% by 2030. It also aims to make all its packaging fully recyclable by 2025.5.What does CocaCola company intend to do in the program?A.Produce less packaging.B.Help deal with plastic waste.C.Pick up waste in communities.D.Build a plant to recycle plastic waste.6.What’s paragraph 2 mainly about?A.How CocaCola conducts its program.B.What organizations participate in the program.C.How CocaCola chooses cities for the program.D.What the local people do in CocaCola’s program.7.What do street teams do to help?A.Sort out all kinds of waste in the city.B.Look into the cause of pollution.C.Instruct local people what to recycle.D.Hand cards to the locals in person.8.What does Keefe Harrison think of the program?A.Promising.B.Difficult.C.Pioneering. D.Costly.II.完形填空阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第十四组(建议用时:20分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解The event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old.I was at home with my mother,getting ready for the afternoon session of school.I was doing my homework when I heard raised voices.At first I thought nothing of it—customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud,but I soon realized this was different.“Quick!Remove the motorcycles from the shop,” someone yelled.Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke,billowing up from the ground floor,greeted me.The motorcycle shop had caught fire.My mum,who had been working in the kitchen,hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke.We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks.She turned around and headed back the way we came.I had no idea what she was doing,but I followed suit.Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us,who we called Makcik.Mum began banging on Makcik’s door,but to no avail.As the smoke thickened around us,I could see many of our neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety.“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” I cried.Mum refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside,”she said as she pounded the door.“Go downstairs,Shaji.Go now!”However,frozen with fear,I stood rooted to the spot.By then,both of us were coughing and our eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still,though we were probably there for only two or three minutes.Just as I was beginning to suffocate(窒息),the door opened.Makcik stood there,totally confused.Mum was right—she had been unaware of what was happening.Grabbing her hand,Mum led Makcik downstairs and outside to a safe spot where people had gathered to witness the fire.The firemen had just arrived and set about fighting the blaze,which was reaching up to the two floors above the motorcycle shop.Comprehending the gravity of the situation,Makcik broke down.Holding my mother’s hands tightly,and with tears flowing down her cheeks,she spoke to Mum.I could not hear what she said,but there was no mistaking her gratitude.I learned later that Makcik was sleeping whenthe fire broke out.I dread to think what would have happened if Mum had not turned back for her.Soon the firemen put out the billowing flames.There were no deaths or injuries,though the motorcycle shop was completely destroyed.Although the fire had damaged our corridor badly,it was put out before it could spread into our flat.Our home had been saved,though everything was covered in soot(黑灰) and an awful smell hung in the air.And,sadly,my pet lovebirds were dead.I felt terrible for not saving them in my haste.However,the thought of Mum’s courageous act in saving a human life brought great relief.Years later,I asked Mum about this incident.She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.When I asked if she was scared,Mum replied:“When_a_loved_one_is_in_danger,the_thought_of_fear_never_crosses_the_mind.”During my school days,whenever I wrote an essay about courageous deeds,I always focused on soldiers risking their lives to save others.It never occurred to me to write about my mum who had,in her determined way,saved our elderly neighbor.Today I know better.Maria Thomas,a timid and modest lady,someone who would not be mistaken for a superhero,had turned out to be my real hero.1.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.firefighters broke in and saved Makcik from the fireB.Makcik ran for safety like everyone else after the fire broke outC.Makcik survived the fire owing to my mum’s timely rescueD.people headed back to Makcik’s flat at the request of my mother2.Receiving no response from Makcik,Mum still refused to leave because ________. A.she didn’t realize that the fire was quickly surrounding herB.she was sure that Makcik must be sleeping at that timeC.she was convinced that Makcik must be too scared to moveD.she was informed that Makcik was in desperate need of help3.What made Makcik break down after she reached a safe spot?A.The big fire was spreading rapidly.B.People’s terrible screams shocked her.C.Mum’s sudden appearance moved her deeply.D.The serious situation made her confused.4.Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence “When a loved one is in danger,the thought of fear never crosses the mind.”?A.Love makes all hard hearts gentle.B.Love warms more than a thousand fires.C.Love is never paid but with true love.D.Love fears no danger.5.The writer mentions the soldiers and Mum in the last paragraph to ________.A.highlight Mum’s courage and determination by making comparisonsB.show respect for firemen’s courageous deeds by providing explanationsC.convey Mum’s influence on my attitude to danger by offering analysesD.emphasize the neighbor’s gratitude to Mum by giving examples6.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.My Neighbor:A Narrow EscapeB.The Firefighting:A Thrilling StoryC.My Mother:The SuperheroD.The Fire:An Unforgettable ExperienceⅡ.任务型阅读(2019·江苏省高考命题研究专家原创卷)I’m in Paris today with several world leaders for a big announcement about energy and climate change.It’s deeply moving to be in this city just two weeks after the horrific attacks here, and I’m inspired by the way the French people have persevered in such a difficult time.Two related proposals are being announced at the event.One is Mission Innovation, a commitment by more than ten countries to invest more in research on clean energy.The other is Breakthrough Energy Coalition, a global group of private investors who will support companies that are taking innovative cleanenergy ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace.Our primary goal with the Coalition is as much to accelerate progress on clean energy as it’s to make a profit.Here’s the thinking behind these two efforts.The world is going to be using 50 percent more energy by midcentury than it does today.That should be good news, especially for the world’s poorest, because right now more than 1 billion people live without access to basic energy services.Affordable and reliable energy makes it easier for them to grow more food, run schools and hospitals and businesses, have refrigerators at home, and take advantage of all the things that make up modern life.Lowand middleincome countries need energy to develop their economies and help more people escape poverty.But the world’s growing demand for energy is also a big problem, because most of that energy comes from hydrocarbons, which emit greenhouse gases and drive climate change.So we need to move to sources of energy that are affordable and reliable, and don’t produce any carbon.The renewable technologies we have today, like wind and solar, have made a lot of progress and could be one path to a zerocarbon energy future.But given the scale of the challenge, we needto be exploring many different paths—and that means we also need to invent new approaches.Private companies will ultimately develop these energy breakthroughs, but their work will rely on the kind of basic research that only governments can fund.Both have a role to play.I’m honored to be a part of this event.It’s great to see so many government leaders and investors making these commitments and showing how the public and private sectors can come together to work on big problems.I’m optimistic that we can invent the tools we need to generate clean, affordable, reliable energy that will help the poorest improve their lives and also stop climate change.I hope even more

- 1 - 高考题型重组练(三) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2019·青岛市质量检测] Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many humaninterest stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye. When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community. The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods. The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent,“ Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead,we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.” 体裁:记叙文 题材:人物故事 主题:面对灾难,采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助别人 【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了一家连锁面包店的员工们在面对哈维飓风带来的洪水、断电时,在等待救援的同时采取积极的行动,利用应急电源烤面包去帮助社区受洪水影响的居民。 1.What did the bakery store workers do after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey? A.They volunteered to make bread for their community. B.They managed to live by selling more bread in the store. - 2 -
C.They felt sorry that they couldn't escape from the store. D.They ate nothing but to wait for their community to rescue them. 答案与解析:A 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段的最后一句“While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.”可知,当这家面包房的员工们在等待周一上午的最终救援时,四人决定为他们的社区制作尽可能多的面包。故选A项。 2.Which of the following best explains “forlorn” underlined in the last paragraph? A.Fortunate. B.Hopeful. C.Shallow. D.Desperate. 答案与解析:D 考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“Instead,we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others.”可知,相反,我们应该采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助他人。由Instead可知,forlorn的语义与positive的意思相反,故forlorn与desperate (绝望的)意思相近。故选D项。 3.What can we infer from the text? A.Alvarado organized his workers to bake much bread. B.Hurricane Harvey caused a power failure in Houston. C.The staff in the bakery sent enough flour to emergency centers. D.The author preferred to write stories about people facing disasters. 答案与解析:B 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread.”可知,他们利用应急电源烤面包。由此可推知,哈维飓风造成休斯敦停电。故选B项。 4.What can be the best title for the text? A.A Popular Mexican Bakery Chain in Houston B.Wait for the Eventual Rescue in a Big Disaster C.All Kinds of Disasters Caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston D.Bake Bread to Make a Difference in the Face of Hurricane Harvey 答案与解析:D 考查主旨大意。根据文章第二、三段的内容和最后一段中的“Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”可知,D项(在面对哈维飓风时,烤面包起了很大作用)作为标题最能概括全文内容。故选D项。 B [2019·湖南省月考(五)] Dan Buettner has studied five places around the world where residents are famed for their longevity: Okinawa in Japan, Nicoya in Costa Rica, Icaria in Greece, Loma Linda in the U.S. and Sardinia in Italy. - 3 -
People living in these socalled “Blue Zones” have certain factors in common — social support networks, daily exercise habits and a plantbased diet for starters. But they share another unexpected commonality. In each community, people are gardening well into old age — their 80s, 90s and beyond. Could nurturing your green thumb help you live to 100? It is wellknown that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activities is linked to longer life, and gardening is an easy way to accomplish both. “If you garden, you're getting some lowintensity physical activities most days, and you tend to work routinely,” says Buettner. He says there is evidence that gardeners live longer and are less stressed. A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening. If gardening is good, is farming even better? Many of the lifestyle factors associated with longevity — such as living in the country and getting lots of exercise — apply to farmers as well. Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations. However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a longer lifespan (寿命). But some of the lifestyle factors associated with both — namely going outside, engaging in light physical activities and eating a healthy plantbased diet — just might. 体裁:说明文 题材:介绍说明 主题:从事园艺有益于长寿 【语篇解读】 一项通过观察某些地区的长寿人群的研究发现,他们长寿的因素除了良好的人际关系和饮食等因素外,还有一个重要因素:从事园艺工作。本文对此展开了详细论述。 5.What do the longlived people in the “Blue Zones” share? A.They all live well beyond 90. B.They keep on gardening. C.They only eat vegetables. D.They are very sociable. 答案与解析:B 考查细节理解。根据第二段的内容可知,生活在这些所谓的“蓝色区域”的人们也有一些共同因素:相互支持的人际关系网、日常锻炼的习惯和植物性饮食。但是他们还有一个让人意想不到的共同之处,那就是从事园艺一直到80多岁甚至到90多岁及以上。故选B项。 6.How does gardening possibly help live a longer life?
