2012高考英语二轮复习专题限时训练专题2 阅读理解35（25分钟）AThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you.Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expens ive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” the y told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what hadhappened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can.1. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.B. give some suggestions to the three thievesC. state the fact that she was careless with the moneyD. tell the thieves hardly any money was available2. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bag.B. The handbag itself.C. The papers and notes in the bag.D. The check books in the bag.3. What can we conclude about the police?A. They think the case quite common.B. They show sympathy for thewoman.C. They have doubts about human nature.D. They are unable to find thethieves.4. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warning.B. To express her affection for her valuable bag.C. To call people’s attention to their belongings.D. To complain about the fall of morality.BJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfillthe duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50per cent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels ofresponsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.1. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.B. Work sharing requires more working hours.C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employer’s decision.2. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time workmainly because _________.A. they were over ideal working agesB. they sought higher social statusC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family3. In job sharing the partners should __________.A. enjoy equal social statusB. have similar work experienceC. know each other very wellD. keep in touch with each other4. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. discuss how to provide more jobsB. describe job sharing in generalC. recommend job sharing to womenD. compare job sharing with work sharingCThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the C hild ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmother’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask oursel ves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves.Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. T hey are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” W e may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain why we become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences one’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childhood4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to __________.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fun”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”DCAD ABCB ADBD。

专题限时训练(二十三) [社会生活型阅读理解(一)](限时：25分钟)(一)I've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺诈)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.1．The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text.A．give some advice of travellingB．expect us to travel aroundC．show his/her experiencesD．explain the difficulties of travelling2．To avoid being cheated, you ought to ________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport3．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________．A．save some moneyB．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain a unique experienceD．help the local rickshaw drivers4．What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.5．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi.B．Weather conditions in Delhi.C．Food and drink in Delhi.D．Car rentals in Delhi.(二)Life is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right：YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening our lives.Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three­point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal­appearing telomeres.In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.1．Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage?① eat healthy food ② drink plenty of water ③ take exercise ④ get up early ⑤ go to sleep early ⑥ release one's stressA．①③⑥B．①②③C．①⑤⑥D．③④⑥2．The underlined words “y our skin glows” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “________”．A．your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshineB．your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in itC． your skin looks pink as you are healthyD．your skin becomes soft as you exercise enough3．In the author's opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT ________．A．brains becoming clevererB．faces having fewer wrinklesC．arteries turning narrowerD．genes being changed4．From the last but one paragraph we learn that ________．A．mothers will have more damaged telomeres if they raise a disabled child B．mothers don't know how to handle stress effectivelyC．some women were asked to fill out a questionnaire about educating children D．mothers' positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress5．The best title for the passage would be “________”．A．Eat better, live betterB．Feel better, live longerC．Less stress, fewer diseasesD．Smoke more, age sooner(三)We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist(扭曲)has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theatre. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass.You are proud of yourself­control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men's room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a_pain_in_the_neck”．Another, well­known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing(嚼)loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go—for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call such a person a “rubber neck”， always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbours who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.1. Where can you find this passage?A. In a medicine dictionary.B. In a kids' story book.C. In a social science book.D. In a science textbook.2. According to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?A. Disturbed.B. Bored.C. Ignored.D. Relaxed.3. A “rubber neck” often ________．A. says bad words behind peopleB. quarrels face to face with neighboursC. bargains with salespeople over the priceD. asks about other people's business4. Which of the following persons cannot be described as a “pain in the neck”？A. Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.B. Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.C. Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy.D. Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies.5．What is the main purpose of the author?A．To tell people what might be bad manners in public.B．To criticize (批评) the people who might be a “pain in the neck”.C．To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”.D．To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck.专题限时训练(二十三)(一)【要点综述】本文作者就在印度德里旅行时的交通方面提出了几点建议。
