体裁：记叙文话题：助人为乐时间：15分钟On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pine­covered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat.But Roger Andersen，a 46­year­old father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with n ine­year­old daughter Mia，four­year­old son Baylor，and nine­year­old neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years.“We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.”The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep ten­foot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows，and within seconds，the cab of the upside­down car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a soft­spoken product development manager.“You're thinking，‘Is this how it's all going to end？'”Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a groupof men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.”【语篇导读】Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救……1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope?A．Nervous.

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校江苏2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础训练阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths. Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most. If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.A. is the world's most popular tourist activityB. gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsC. will make tourists busy and tiredD. can cause danger to dolphins2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.B. It is not as satisfying as expected.C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.3. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsB. believes other lists are not humorous enoughC. intends to persuade people to read more listsD ．wants to provide a list different from other lists 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advertise a book. B. To introduce a website.C. To comment on popular lists.D. To recommend tourist activities.【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die ，很明显是一则常见的广告。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给出的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。

Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us? Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen. The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.( ) 1. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves___________A. the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC. the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD. the general existence of the sense of curiosity( ) 2. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B. The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.C. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder. ( ) 3. If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will__________A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make-believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us( ) 4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C. To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.【语篇解读语篇解读】本文是一篇论说文,介绍了我们每一个人都有好奇心,总是幻想美好的世界, 语篇解读但同时,告诫我们,不要沉迷在幻想之中,现实世界也是很美丽的,也是一切期间产生的根源.1. 答案 D 【解析】细节理解题.由第二段可知,举 The Lord of the Rings 这个例子是为了证明人们的好奇心是普遍存在的.所以答案选 D 项.2. 答案B 【解析】推理判断题. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals.这句话告诉我们,如果没有现代技术, 即使一个小小的池塘也能成为一个令人惊异的世界. 从而我们可以推测出我们现实世界也是很美丽的,也是一切期间产生的根源.3. 答案 A 【解析】细节理解题. 根据 The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world.可知,如果幻想成为我们好奇感的唯一出路的话,我们就会失去一些东西,就会失去与现实世界的联系,我们也就不能体会到我们现实生活中的快乐.由此判断选 A 项.4. 答案 B 【解析】作者意图题.由文章最后一段可知,作者写这篇文章的目的就是要告诉我们不要沉迷在幻想之中.由此判断选 B 项.2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类Would you want a doctor who got high marks in medical school just for trying hard? Apparently many college students would have no problem with that. They believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.The researchers asked more than 800 undergraduates if they agreed or disagreed with some statements. For example: "If I have completed most of the reading for a class, I deserve a B in that course." And: "A professor should not be annoyed with me if I receive an important call during class."Just 16 percent thought it was OK to take that phone call. But 66 percent agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student's work when deciding grades. And 40 percent thought they should get a B, the second highest mark, just because they did most of the reading for class.Some experts are not surprised that students often see no difference between effort and results. Social critics like to say that in children'sactivities these days everyone gets an award just for trying, so no one will feel rejected.Yet competition to get into the best colleges is fiercer than ever. Students may worry that low grades will keep them out of graduate school or a good job.And there may be another explanation: pressure from parents to get a good return on the family's investment. These days, college can cost more than a house.A former teaching assistant recently wrote to the New York Times about his experience with grade expectations. He would try to explain it this way when students asked for a top grade just for studying hard in chemistry class:What if a baseball player came to spring training and worked harder than all the others, but still could not play well? Would the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?The students would say no. But most of them would still ask for an A. 【小题1】What does the passage mainly discuss?A．Whether students deserve high marks just for trying hard.B．Whether students are allowed to answer calls in class.C．How students can get a good grade in the course.D．Why students put a lot of efforts in their studies.【小题2】According to the research, most of the students _______.A. thought it was all right to answer the call during class.B. thought they did most of the work for class and should get a B.C. objected to deciding grades only by the quality of a student’s work.D. agreed that they should be given top grades because of their hard work.【小题3】Which of the following opinions do social critics agree to about children’s activities?A．Those who are active in the activities can get an award.B．Only by playing an important role in the activities can you get an award.C．Whoever takes part in the activities can get an award.D．An award is prepared for anyone who performs best in the activities.【小题4】From the sixth paragraph we can learn that _____.A．it costs much more to build a college than to buy a house.B．the costs of studying at college are much more than staying at home.C．the costs of sending a child to college are much more than buying a house.D．it is difficult for parents to send a child to college.2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类Should universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators,and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs.Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So she’s carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow’s Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.The state governor added that this new educational approach doesn’t just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “We’ve been able to attract new companies to our s tate because of what we’re doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the world’s biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.”Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we don’t do it, nobody else will.”“And if nobody does that research, we’ll pay the pr ice in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “The re has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose.Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”【小题1】Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company?A．University graduates in the state are well trained.B．There’s much support from the local government.C．Many students in the state hope to be workers.D．The state economy has been growing rapidly.【小题2】What is Gutmann’s attitude toward Fallin’s program?A．Curious. B．Tolerant.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.【小题3】Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _____.A．the achievements of Merck & Co., IncB．the difficulty of developing new drugsC．the heavy burden of health care costsD．the importance of basic research【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A．Universities or colleges?B．Workers or researchers?C．Basic or further research?D．Education or development?阅读理解。

That’s true,too.But there’s more.In fact,there are at least 5 more reasons.According to the Women’s Sports Foundation,girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.Girls who play sports do better in school.You might think that playing sports will take up all your study time.But research shows that gilrs who play sports do better in school than those who don’t.Exercise improves learning,memory,and concentration,which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goalsetting skills.Sports teach valuable life skills.When you work with coaches,trainers,and teammates to win games and achieve goals,you’re learning how to be successful.Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.Sports are good for a girl’s health.In addition to being fit and keeping a healthy weight,girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke.And later in life,gilrs who exercise are less likely to get osteoporosis(骨质疏松症).Playing sports improves self-confidence.Girls who play sports feel better about themselves.Why?It builds confidence when you know you can practice,improve,and achieve your goals.Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape,keep a healthy weight,and make new friends.Exercise cuts the pressure.Playing sports can reduce stress and help you feel a little happier.How?The brain chemicals released during exercise improve a person’s mood.Friends are another mood-lifter.Andbeing on a team creates tight bonds between friends.It’s good to know your teammates will support you—both on and off the field!68.What’s the main purpose of the passage?A.To advise parents to take exerciseB.To tell us the benefits of playing sportsC.To explain why girls like playing sports.D.To introduce some ways of taking exercise.69.How many reasons why we should play sports are mentioned in the passage?A.2B.5C.7D.1070.It can be inferred from the passage that___________________.A.most people play sports just for funB.top students hardly play and sporsC.playing sports makes us confident and happyD.boys like making friends with gilrs playing sportsA boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (诱人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence.

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now havea much deeper meaning.( ) 1. From paragraph I we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat contentD. lived a different life from their forefathers( ) 2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. the frogs were easy moneyB. They needs money to buy medicineC. they wanted to please the visitorsD. the frogs made too much noise( ) 3. What might be the cause of the children's sickness?A. the crops didn't do wellB. there were too many insectsC. the visits brought in diseasesD. the pesticides were overused( ) 4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB. Health is more important than moneyC. The harmony between man and nature is importantD. good old day will never be forgotten1. C.细节理解题.第一段中有 The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy.和 C 项意思一致.2.

C.推理判断题.最后一句 These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深入的意义. 该句是一个中介句, 说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡, 由此也影响了人类,因此,可以推断人与自然的和谐是重要.阅读以下四篇短文，从每一小题后所给的A,B,C或者D四个选项里面，选出最正确选项。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础训练阅读理解训练(2015·陕西)Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.”Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but they're still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson.But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that Asian­American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved.They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their chil dren how success at school could improve their lives.”文章大意：文章和很多人预期不同的是，父母过度的参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。

She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling. However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.1.That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.A.was bored and wanted to kill the timeB.wanted to make sure her daughter was alrightC.wanted to help her daughter through the difficultyD.was sure something was wrong with her daughter2.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?A.They were often worried about their children.B.They usually let their children do whatever they liked.C.They were usually too busy to care about their children.D.They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.3.What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?A.It is helpless.B.It is necessary.C.It is nonsense.D.It should be prevented.4.The passage is written to show that ________. A.children don't really have freedom at college B.social media make our life much easier than before C.today's parents contact their children more frequentlyD.parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social media语篇解读：作者认为父母没必要通过社交工具实时掌握他们的孩子在大学的情况。

(2021·统考)When people first walked across the Bering LandBridge thousands of years ago, dogs were by their sides,according to a study published in the journal Science.Robert Wayne of the University of California, LosAngeles, and Jennifer Leonard of the SmithsonianInstitute, used DNA material—some of it unearthed by miners in Alaska—to conclude that today’s domestic dog originated in Asia and accompanied the first humans to the New World about 10, 000 to 15, 000 years ago. Wayne suggests that man’s best friend may have enabled the tough journey from Asia into North America. “Dogs may have been the reason people made it across the land bridge, 〞said Wayne. “They can pull things, carry t hings, defend you from fierce animals, and they’re useful to eat. 〞Researchers have agreed that today’s dog is the result of the domestication(驯化)of wolves thousands of years ago. Before this recent study, a common thought about the precise origin of Nort h America’s domestic dog was that Natives domesticated local wolves, the descendants(后代)of which now live with people in Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48.Dog remains from a Fairbanks-area gold mine helped the scientists reach their conclusion. Leonard, an evolutionary biologist, collected DNA from 11 bones of ancient dogs that were locked in permafrost(永冻层)until Fairbanks miners uncovered them in the 1920s. The miners donated the preserved bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they remained untouched for more than 70 years. After borrowing the bones from the museum, Leonard and hercolleagues used radiocarbon techniques to find the age of the Alaska dogs. They found the dogs all lived between the years of 1450 and 1675 A. D. , before Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov who were the first known Europeans to view Alaska in 1741. “The bones of dogs that wandered the Fairbanks area centuries ago should therefore be the remains of pure native American dogs, 〞Leonard said. The DNA of the Fairbanks dogs would also expose whether they were the descendants of wolves from North America.Along with the Fairbanks samples, the researchers collected DNA from bones of 37 dog specimens(标本)from Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia that existed before the arrival of Columbus. In the case of both the Alaska dogs and the dogs from Latin America, the researchers found that they shared the most genetic material with gray wolves of Europe and Asia. This supports the idea of domestic dogs entering the New World with the first human explorers who wandered east over the land bridge.Leonard and Wayne’s study suggests that dogs joined the first humans that made the adventure across the Bering Land Bridge to slowly populate the Americas. Wayne thinks the dogs that made the trip must have provided some excellent service to their human companions or they would not have been brought along. “Dogs must have been useful because they were expensive to keep, 〞Wayne said. “They didn’t feed on mice; they fed on meat, which wa s a very guarded resource. 〞【文章大意】本文是科普性文章。

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, "My I get you something?" "A coffee would be nice." Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, "How did you get to know Mr. Gal breath?" "Who?" "The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs." I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world's richest and most powerful men! My few minutes with Mr. Gal breath changed my life.
