“Experience may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience invol ves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story,the less realistic it is.”Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short,it is demanding:Don’t pick it up lo oking for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.1. According to the text,James March is .A. a poet who uses experience in his writingB. a teacher who teaches story writing in universityC. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actD. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions2. According to James March,experience .A. is overvaluedB. is easy to explainC. should be actively soughtD. should be highly respected3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Experience makes stories more accurate.B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.4. What’s the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a book.B. To describe a researcher.C. To explain experiential learning.D. To discuss organizational decision making. 【参考答案】1-4 CABA【2013界广东省三模】阅读理解About a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.“Even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases. Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple —that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers — it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who d on’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini said.63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixthparagraph?A. protectB. preventC. developD. cure【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

Ten years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon（五角大楼）on September 11,2001, America has come out of the smoke a very different country．Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11．Suddenly America had to wake up to the fact that not everyone loves the USS A．Members of al-Qaeda, the militant group that earned out the attacks, were angry about US support for the Israelisagainst Palestinians in the Middle East, about US troops in Saudi Arabia, and about sanctions （制裁）against Iraq．"September 11 and the years that followed were a shock to our national consciousness," said Nicholas Bums, American ambassador to NATO （北约） at the time．The terrorists struck not only the buildings, but also Americans- faith in their power．The fear that America had lost control of events as widespread．In the name of fighting terrorism, the US launched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan．More than 6,000 Americans have died．Tens of thousands of ordinary people in those countries have also lost their lives．But deaths are only part of the story．The world was shocked by photographs of Americans torturing （折磨） Iraqis in Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad．David Goldstein, a reporter with The Kansas City Star, questioned American behavior: "Has torturing so-calledterrorists saved American lives or made the values we advocate around the world weaker? …" Is that what we've become?"However, a brief moment of national unity did occur straight after 9/11．"Americans were coming together in an unusually powerful way ．．．in the ashes．We live in a bittersweet memory of that collective tragedy and collective possibility," said filmmaker Ken Burns．September 11 was that kind of common moment．When it was over, the Harth still turned in its usual way and the stars in the sky shone as before．But the universe had shifted somehow．Though the world felt the consequence of September 11, more is to come．Ten years on, it still might be too soon to tell．31．What is "al-Qaeda" in Paragraph 2?A．It is the name of the leader of a militant group．B．It is the name of a city in tie Middle East．C．It is the name of an armed organization．D．It is the name of a terrorist that carried out the 9/11 attacks．【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life，but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children．That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking．Years of experience means that parents often do know best，but on the other hand，the young，being less bound by tradition，are often more creative，more able to find new solutions to old problems．Revolutions are led by the young．Good teachers make the growth of critical 〔批判性的〕 thinking easier in their students，only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs．Schools encourage parents to become involved，but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used．Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process．And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government．The rebellions 〔叛逆的〕young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development．They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands，but their voices must be heard．Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities．Indeed，sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting，just because it is not accepted by authority．Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts，know as much as possible about he lives of their children，provide a good example，encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them．But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go．1．By saying “Revolutions are led by the young〞，the author indicates that young people are more___________________．A．conventional B．creative C．realistic D．heartbreaking2．From the second paragraph we know__________________．A．the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government B．schools encourage parents to question their education methodsC．movement is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policies D．teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by students3．In order to educate children well，parents should_________________．A．forbid particular behaviors in their daily lifeB．know as much as possible as their childrenC．educate them with facts and expect much of themD． know them well and set a good example to them4．From the passage we can learn that the author prefers_____________________．A．free parenting B．traditional parentingC．smart parenting D． critical parenting5．What is the best title of the passage?A．Teaching Methods – for Teachers and SchoolsB．Parents’ Tasks –in Children’s DevelopmentC．Way of Growth – for the Young GroupsD．Letting Go –for Children’s Independent Life【参考答案】1---5、BADCD【2013届广东省六校第二次联考】阅读理解LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies."The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed. "The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project. Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".36. From this passage we know that________.A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hateB. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professorsC. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heartD. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies 【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of m aking faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (阅览). Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books – an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.1.The best title for this passage would be __________.A. Three Benefits of LibrariesB. Libraries Going DigitalC. Space-saving E-learningD. Security of Electronic Reading66.Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?A. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4B. Paragraphs 3 and 4C. Paragraphs 2 and 4D. Paragraph 43.Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-libraries？A. Old manuscripts can be moved more easilyB. Materials can be examined without being touchedC. Fewer staff will be required in librariesD. Libraries will be able to move underground4.What does the word ‘scrutinize’ probably mean?A. keep for a whileB. reprintC. restoreD. examine carefully【参考答案】1—4、BACD阅读理解。

北京市大兴区2016高考英语阅读理解专题训练（2）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademar k．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．1．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day2．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dish D．American changing cultures 3．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew4．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different cultures5．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true? A．Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure．B．Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure．C．“Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage．D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．【参考答案】1---5、B A B D B【黑龙江哈尔滨第六中学四模】阅读理解Most parents possess consciousness of security(安全意识) but Australian wrens(鹪鹩) take it to another level. They have no choice: mother wrens often have their nests hijacked by cuckoos(布谷鸟).Cuckoo eggs look like wren eggs but hatch(孵化) earlier, at which point cuckoo chicks eject (驱逐)wren eggs. Unless the mother wren realizes an intruder(侵入者) is in the nest, she raises the cuckoo chick as her own, wasting time and food. But the cuckoo only gets away with it in 60% of the cases. In the other 40% of the cases, the mother wren detects the cuckoo within days, abandons it, and starts another nest. That’sbecause the mother wren teaches her chicks a password while they are still inside their eggs. Once they are hatched, the mother wren abandons the nest if they can’t give the password.Sonia Kleindorfer of Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia and his colleagues recorded the sounds made by birds near the wren’s nests. Mother wrens made a particular call made up of 11 elements while incubating(孵化)the eggs, and then stopped when they hatched. One of the 11 elements was a note of a particular length and tone that was unique to wrens.【参考答案】67、CBDA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。

Most schools in America do not have the latest equipment in laboratories．It is just too costly．But the eastern state of Maryland and8 non - profit group found a way to make such equipment available during the school year．They put it on a bus! The 13 - meter -long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science．It travels around the state visiting schools．It has every-thing from biology to forensic science（法医学）．The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than 10 years,”It is really nice to get the students in here with hands- on activities．They get really excited and want to be engaged．”said Ms．Mangus, who is in charge of the program．She said that many students finished their experiments and left the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist．At the end of each class，Ms．Mangus talked to the students about how she became a scientist．"If we have enough time, we like to take five, ten minutes and talk about us, ourselves．I tell them how I got into science, maybe where I went to school, what I did, and the different kinds of things we could do．”Brian Gaines, the chief executive officer of the foundation supporting the BioLab program, said the organization's goal was to help create the next generation of scientists．"We use this program to talk about careers in science－not only science, but science, technology, engineering and math．Students on the bus get real -life experience they do not get in a classroom．”1．Which of the following is true about the BioLab?A．It visits schools around the United State．B．h i8 8 mobile lab for the schools in Maryland．C．It is used to replace the ordinary classroom．D．Il i8 equipped with all kinds of school things．2．the students arc very pleased because ．A．they can do experiments with own their handsB． they can have face - to - face talks with scientistsC．the bus comes to their school every dayD．they can realize the dreams of being scientists3．Ms．Mangus talked about her experience to ．A．make her classes lively and interestingB．show off her achievementsC．arouse the students' interest in scienceD．get the students more involved in class4．According to Brian Games, the real purpose of the program is to A．help create the future scientistsB．prepare students for future careersC．improve students' marks in schoolsD．save money for the government5．Which of the following would be the best tide for the test?A．Bioscience Education in America． B．A New Way to Do Experiments!C． The Way to Be a Scientist．D．A BioLab on a Bus!【参考答案】1—5、BACAD【2013界广东省湛江市二模】阅读理解As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely, are doing nothing either.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell(魔咒).According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don’t delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses " to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is nonsense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(过失的）in a society that thinks of swift action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate.

北京市大兴区2016高考英语阅读理解专题训练（2）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademar k．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．1．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day2．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dish D．American changing cultures 3．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew4．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different cultures5．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?

They have no choice: mother wrens often have their nests hijacked by cuckoos(布谷鸟).Cuckoo eggs look like wren eggs but hatch(孵化) earlier, at which point cuckoo chicks eject (驱逐)wren eggs. Unless the mother wren realizes an intruder(侵入者) is in the nest, she raises the cuckoo chick as her own, wasting time and food. But the cuckoo only gets away with it in 60% of the cases. In the other 40% of the cases, the mother wren detects the cuckoo within days, abandons it, and starts another nest. That’sbecause the mother wren teaches her chicks a password while they are still inside their eggs. Once they are hatched, the mother wren abandons the nest if they can’t give the password.Sonia Kleindorfer of Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia and his colleagues recorded the sounds made by birds near the wren’s nests. Mother wrens made a particular call made up of 11 elements while incubating(孵化)the eggs, and then stopped when they hatched. One of the 11 elements was a note of a particular length and tone that was unique to wrens.【参考答案】67、CBDA阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。
