得夺市安庆阳光实验学校天全中学2015—2016学年下期高二第12周周考英语试题（满分100分时间40分钟）第一节：阅读理解（8*4=32分）AThere is a problem each of us faces in following advice on emotional healing: apologizing is difficult. We are trapped in what we think of ourselves by holding onto our pride. We can be selfish and not willing to admit our most obvious mistakes. Pride eats away at us as we argue or ignore the mistake.It's happened to me. I have had too much pride and selfishness to apologize to a loved one I hurt. When I did want to apologize, I couldn't bring myself to face the other person. This is the pride I'm talking about. Maybe apologies come difficult for men because they're expected to be dominant (占优势的). It's like the joke that a man never asks for directions when lost. Ladies are more emotionally open than guys and are willing to express it. Still, both genders wonder how to correctly apologize.In shifting the focus on apologizing away from you, what does not apologizing do to other people? They feel hurt that you are not willing to communicate your mistake. They lose trust in you as you hide behind your mistake avoiding reality. They become angry with you, wondering why you do not tell them the truth. They may begin to counter your lack of apologies by not apologizing themselves and from this the relationship goes downhill as the two of you get caught in a power struggle.You need to communicate your mistakes. A mistake you made is like a scratch and by not apologizing you are making the scratch a deeper wound and rubbing salt into it. You need to stop hurting the other person and yourself by learning to apologize. There is real power in apologizing and emotional healing.1．People find it hard to apologize for their mistakes because of their ________.A．emotional feeling B．sticking to theirprideC．making argument D．being trapped in lies 2．Why are men more unwilling to make apologies?A．They don't intend to hurt other people.B．They expect others to forgive them.C．They don't want to be considered weak.D．They aren't good at expressing themselves.3．What bad effect will there be if you refuse to apologize for your mistakes?A．Other people won't pay attention to you. B．You will lose confidence in yourself.C．You won't be forgiven even if you tell the truth. D．The friendship will get hurt and go worse.4．From the last paragraph, it can be inferred that ________.A．communication can stop you making mistakes B．mistakes would turn into deeper scratchesC．apologizing is good for you and other peopleD．apologizing is the most powerful in emotional healingBLing Ling is worried as Sept. 7, the last day for her to enter the university, approaches. “My dad doesn't want to pay for my university education as he believes the investment in higher education can't be regained，” the 19­year­old told the reporter.Ling was born in a small village in northern Sichuan. Upon completion of their primary school education, her parents started a small business. Five years ago, they moved to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, with Ling and her younger brother. They have purchased an apartment and a small shop there. “My family isn't short of money. My father doesn't want me to pursue university education because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university，” Ling said.Her father estimates it will cost a total of 80,000 yuan in tuition fees and living expenses to finish a four­year university education. If his daughter works for four years instead, she can earn at least 80,000 yuan in four years. With that money, she can start a small business. “In my neighborhood, at least 10 university graduates cannot find jobs and stay at home ，” her father told the re porter. He said as a primary school graduate, he earned more than many university graduates with his small business. He said his view that attending a university is not worthwhile is not groundless, pointing that nearly 7 million students graduated from institutions of higher learning nationwide this year and their employment situation is not so good.To persuade her father to support her higher education financially, Ling has done many things but in vain. After her story spread online, a survey was made on the website to seek netizens' views. More than 10,000 netizens replied and 71 percent supported her father's view. About 50 percent thought society was a good university and about 20 percent thought a person could improve himself or herself anywhere.Despite strong opposition from survey respondents, 55 readers of them said higher education could broaden one's horizons. They want to help Ling financially since she cannot borrow money from her relatives who share her father's view.5．Why her father doesn't support Ling's higher education?A．Because her family is short of money. B．Because she has to enter a local university.C．Because he thinks it not worthwhile going to university. D．Because Ling's father is a businessman.6．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The worth of university causes heated discussion.B．University will cost much money in tuition fees and living expenses.C．University students' employment situation is bad.D．Society is a good university.7．According to this passage, we know that ________.A．some people consider money more important B．some people consider education more importantC．the majority of people support Ling Ling's father D．the majority of people support Ling Ling8．Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A．Ling is likely to go to university. B．Ling will start a small business.C．Ling will give in. D．Ling doesn't know how to deal with the situation.第二节完型填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)Nowadays, it's not easy being a teenager, nor is it easy being a parent.Parents are __1__ advice for their children on what to learn, but when it comes to __2__ to live, as a matter of fact, they often have __3__ to say.As a result, children may grow up with good manners and much __4__， but without any idea how to __5__ their life.Hereare some basics to help.Firstly, build proper relationships.“No man is an island.” So __6__ with friends will have a sense of belonging and not __7__ from loneliness, whose ill effects have been __8__ among the elderly.If the young are surrounded by friends and relatives, they are more __9__ to recover from their illnesses.Then, try to be honest.Children must be taught to stay honest.It takes courage and training to be honest when people are getting away with cheating and __10__all around.Be __11__ of money.Explain to children that credit cards must be used __12__ and that when buying something using a credit card, they can easily end up paying two or three times more than in cash.Suppose your child __13__ a new bicycle that costs $150. __14__ paying the cash, give him some __15__ pocket money.And by putting aside $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.Another thing to keep in mind is to expect a lot from your child, but not everything, which is also __16__.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.（1）What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.（2）What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.（3）What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，由于墓地短缺，巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案，这引起了当地居民的争论。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new technology.（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years（2）The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超导体技术的发展潜能和发展状况。

After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.” “No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so.

I didn't know what he was saying at first, but when I saw the problems on the paper, I knew what to do.The next day, the kid said hi and I said hi back. We got into a conversation. It seemed that whenever I was talking to my friend, everyone stopped staring at me. Then the class started. It was easy. But I was still uncomfortab le because I couldn't look around without meeting others’eyes, so I just kept my eyes on the whiteboard and on my textbook.However, my friend didn't show up the next day, and the eighth graders just kept on staring at me. I didn't know why.The next day everything changed. My friend was back to school. I was praised for my homework. Everyone stared at me less. Some started to be a little friendlier towards me.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I camehome at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am andmade a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floorfor 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, soI ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, waspublished to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put awayin the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat downto write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才 ) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen.

（英语）高二英语阅读理解的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure ofthe group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leaderfor a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.Take ResponsibilityGroup leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadershipConcern for MembersThe group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.Good ListenerThe group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to beput into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.（1）The passage is mainly about____________.A. choosing a good leader for a group.B. assessing the performance of a leader.C. team members' appreciation of a leader.D. qualities of a good group leader.（2）A good leader should always be able to_______.A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.B. recognize any mistakes as his own.C. make group members admit their mistakes.D. control everything group members do.（3）According to "Concerns for members", which of the following is a good quality of a leader?A. fairB. reliableC. determinedD. generous（4）Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?A. Offering a chance for group members to express themselves freely.B. Making it possibleto deal with group members' complaints.C. Allowing the leader to put his ideas into practice.D. Making group members productive by sharing their thoughts.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于好的领导所应具备的能力和品质的：责任心、关爱和善于倾听。

I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart.

B．140 dB. C．104 dB. D．110 dB.4．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．A warning that falls on deaf ears.B．MP3 players are hearing killers.C．The causes of hearing loss.D．Hair cells are suffering from loud noises.1．Not contented with life，I was down.(完形填空第一段)由于对生活不满意，所以我情绪低落。

（英语）高二必备英语阅读理解技巧全解及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

【英语】高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫).Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.（1）What is the result of the study?A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.（2）What did Chen say about the study?A.It is doubtful.B.It is extremely unfair.C.It is common and not representative.D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.（3）What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.（4）Where is the text most likely taken from?A.A life diary.B.A guidebook.C.A science magazine.D.A biography.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项新的研究表明，长期暴露在空气污染中会在语言和数学两个方面影响一个人的智力，因此每个国家都应关注空气污染否则人类将面临一个糟糕的局面。

"Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality." The secret, he said, is to measure the rate of photosynthesis(光用) in the algae, meaning the plant's ability to transform light into energy. During photosynthesis, plants also release oxygen into the air.Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because of the over-abundance of algae in theplanet's water. Most of the oxygen in the water comes from algae. A prototype(样品) tester, which occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop, shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate photosynthesis in the algae. But not all of the laser's heat is used. Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis, some of the heat is shot back into the water, creating sound waves, Dubinsky said. With a special underwater microphone, researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water."Algae suffering from lead poisoning, like waste from battery and paint manufacturing plants, will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins(毒素)," said researcher Zvy Dubinsky.1. Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because ___________________.A. there is plenty of algae in waterB. most of the oxygen in water comes from the algaeC. they shine a laser beam on the algaeD. the prototype tester can only occupy a small area2. Why is the algae tested?A. Because it floats on the water.B. It can have photosynthesis.C. It is the first to be polluted.D. It can produce different sounds.3. We can infer from the passage that ___________________.A. the algae can give a louder sound when pollutedB. the algae can die easily from pollutionC. the photosynthesis in the algae can only be caused by sunlightD. the photosynthesis of the algae is related to water quality4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Scientists listen to plants to find water pollutionB. A prototype tester is used to determine water pollutionC. The importance of photosynthesis of the algaeD. The problem with chemical and radioactive carbon testing5.

But it doesn't always come cheap, as parents are paying up to £3,000 for the distinctive images.Richard Mayfield, creative director at Venture Photography, which runs a nationwide chain of studios, said: "They say never work with children or animals but we think the opposite. Children and animals are unpredictable, and that's great for capturing dynamic(动态的) photographs.""We always ask clients if they would like to bring any pets along to their shoots as we want to capture the character of the families we photograph, and often their pets help them to relax. We get a lot of domestic pets such as dogs and cats but more unusual pets can be really interesting from a photographer's perspective. This year we've seen lots of rabbits in particular as more and more are kept in the house and so really feel like part of the family."A glance at these pictures proves just how astonishing the animal magic can be. Toddler Alfie Poutney, from Felixstowe, poses with a green parrot perched on his flat cap; Charlie Wells from Wakefield gives his pony Lucy a gentle kiss; James Corrigan is pictured with his Dutch dwarf rabbit perched in the center of his skateboard; Poppy Hanshaw reaches out to stroke Lego the lamb; and Harry the tortoise provided the main focus for a Home Counties family portrait. But the most unusual image surely has to be Gabriel Pereira from Woking, Surrey, posing with his pet snails Wayne, Lucy and Aaron.1. According to the passage, children take pictures .A. only with dogs and catsB. only with unusual animalsC. with seven kinds of petsD. very cheaply and commonly2. According to the passage, Richard Mayfieldconsiders .A. children and animals are predictableB. it difficult to work with children or animalsC. his firm runs a worldwide chain of studiosD. it fun to get dynamic photographs3. What role do pets play when people take pictures?A. Helping them feel less pressure.B. Helping them get more excited.C. Helping them get little disturbed.D. Helping them feel more stressful.4. What animals become more popular in families?A. Dogs.B. Cats.C. Horses.D. Rabbits.5. How many pets are mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Six.B. Seven.C. Eight.D. Nine.BSuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it's necessary to study the different elements(组成部分) of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.Language A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and attitudesValues are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and mannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. It's not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink ofan American company in France doesn't sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast.6. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people .A. to be more open with their customersB. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture7. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of .A. mannersB. valuesC. attitudesD. customs8. What would be the best title for the text?A. Misconceptions in BusinessB. Basic Beliefs in BusinessC. International Business CultureD. Successful International Business9. The author's purpose of writing this article is to tellpeople .A. how to take a right attitude in businessB. how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC. how to use a local language in businessD. how to act politely and properly in business CSailing Through HistoryA group of 1,309 passengers boarded the MS. Balmoral on Sunday, in Southampton, England, on a voyage to retrace the path of the Titanic. The Titanic was the biggest ship in the world when it sailed on its ill-fated maiden voyage in 1912. Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died. The ship, which was headed to New York City, carried the rich and famous on its first voyage. It also carried immigrants, who were seeking a better life in America.Relatives of people who sailed on the Titanic, historians, authors and people fascinated by the story of the unsinkable ship, are on the Balmoral. They want to remember the doomed ship and those who died on her first and last voyage. The historic liner had set sail on April 10, 1912, from Southampton. Late at night on April 14, she hit an iceberg. In the early morning hours of April 15, the Titanic sank.The Balmoral is following Titanic's original route from Southampton. First, the modern-day cruise liner docked in the port of Cherbourg, France, where the Titanic had picked up more passengers. On Monday afternoon, the Balmoral stops in Cobh, Ireland, the Titanic's last port of call before sailing to New York.Balmoral will then cruise the North Atlantic Ocean to the location where Titanic hit an iceberg that ripped the ship's hull(外壳). On Sunday, April 15, at 2:20 a.m.—the time the Titanic went down—passengers and crew will hold a memorial service. The next two days will be spent in Halifax, Canada, where many victims of the sinking are buried. Then, the Balmoral will reach its final destination in New York City, where Titanic was supposed to dock—but never did.Until today, several teams of divers have explored the site. They have recovered some items such as dishes and silverware and put them on public display. And more trips are planned to the wreckage in the future. The Titanic and its passengers and crew have been remembered in books, movies and TV programs. But there's a much more important contribution that Titanic gave us. After she sank, lawmakers and shipbuilders made ships safer. It took a terrible tragedy to make ship travel safer for all.10. How many passengers in Titanic survived at last?A. More than 1,500.B. About 1,309.C. About 1,000.D. Less than 750.11. Passengers in Balmoral mainly want to .A. seek a better life in AmericaB. enjoy the fascinating voyage to the USC. observe the maiden voyage of MS BalmoralD. observe the 100th anniversary of maiden voyage of Titanic12. How many countries does the Balmoral reach before sailing to New York?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.13. The Balmoral will stay in Canada just in memory of .A. the dead passengers in the BalmoralB. the survivors in TitanicC. the dead passengers in TitanicD. the survivors in the Balmoral14. What might be the most important contribution of the sunken Titanic?A. Its site attracts more exploring teams.B. It makes the later ships more secure.C. Some of its items are on public display.D. More trips are planned to its wreckage.DHistoric Hill at Risk of Being Removed From LandscapeIt's literally a case of turning a mountain into a molehill.An entire hill, famed for its archeological heritage and geological significance, is to be removed from the Scottish skyline to make way for a quarry(采石场) under plans being considered by West Dunbartonshire Council.Sheep Hill, in the Kilpatrick Hills on the Clyde, is the site of ancient Bronze and Iron Age forts which local residents and experts say will be destroyed by the expansion of a stone quarry.The hill also features in a painting by the 19th-century Scottish artist John Knox, and is used by geology teachers to show how the landscape has been shaped by volcanoes and ice ages.Allowing the hill to be wiped off the map would be "an act of wanton(荒唐的) destruction of our environment and inheritance", according to Clydebelt, a local environmental group, which is calling for Scottish ministers to intervene to save the hill."Sheep Hill is liable(应承担责任的) to be destroyed," said the group's secretary, Sam Gibson. "This would leave a gaping hole in the side of the hill showing the workings of the quarry and fully visible from a distance."A proposal to revise mineral permission for an existing quarry run by a local firm near Sheep Hill is due to be discussed by West Dunbartonshire Council on Wednesday and has aroused fierce opposition from local groups.They say that, as well as damaging important archaeological remains and ruining the landscape, expanding the quarry would threaten wildlife and trees. The North Bank Environmental Group has filed a formal complaint to the ombudsman(巡视官) about the council's handling of the development.The quarry company, William Thompson & Son, which has extracted whinstone at its Sheep Hill quarry for decades did not respond to repeated requests to comment last week.15. For what is Sheep Hill well-known?A. A molehill and its stone quarry.B. Its ancient heritage and geological significance.C. The site of ancient Bronze and Iron Age.D. Its painting by John Knox, a 19th-century artist.16. The underlined word "intervene" means in the 3rd paragraph.A. go insideB. step inC. interviewD. interrupt17. What can we infer from what Sam Gibson said?A. It is right to remove Sheep Hill from a distance.B. The workings of the quarry can be seen from a distance.C. The workings of the quarry would ruin the wholeness and thescenery of the hill.D. Too many holes will be opened in the side of the hill after the workings.18. Why do the local groups oppose the mineral permission?A. Because they run the quarry near Sheep Hill and make money from it.B. Because the mineral permission will do harm to archaeological remains and the landscape.C. Because they don' t agree with the handling of the development of the quarry.D. Because they care about not only archaeological remains, landscape but also the wildlife and trees.19. How did William Thompson & Son react towards the complaint from the locals?A. He had no reaction.B. He worried about their production of whinstone.C. He feared to be punished.D. He is not satisfied with the ombudsman.二、阅读理解（共4小题；共8.0分）“You are going to the United States to live? How wonderful! You are really lucky.“Perhaps your family and friends said similar things to you when you left home. But is it true all the time? Is your life in the new country always wonderful and exciting?Specialists say that it isn't easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. "There are three stages of culture shock," say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems, the telephone, post office, or transportation maybe difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in theirhome countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity.They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation(迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long term solutions to the problem of culture shock.20. When people move to a new country, they .A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficultyB. have well prepared for their new surroundingsC. will get used to the culture of the country quicklyD. will never be familiar with the culture of the country21. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following exceptA. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness22. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, .A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you'll earn abroadD. the less homesick you'II feel abroad23. When people are homesick, they tend to .A. find some people to talk toB. go outside to have a walkC. visit their friends far awayD. stay indoors all the time 答案一、阅读理解1. C2. D3. A4. D5. C6. B7. C8.

Week Eleven 历史地理一、阅读理解（共7小题；共14.0分）AThis is a story that happened in Europe in the 17th century. Tulips(郁金香) were introduced into Holland before the 17th century but it did not take long for the flowers to gain popularity among the upper classes. Flowers of such beauty soon became symbols of power and the rich tried their best to lay their hands on some to display them in their gardens. When more people learned of the prices that the rich were willing to pay for tulips, they knew they just foun d a “get-rich-quick” gold mine.By 1634, the whole country was so attracted by tulips that all other activities almost came to a stop. People were trading in tulips and even buying and selling bulbs(球茎). At that time, one rare bulb cost as much as ten tons of cheese.Many made a fortune in the beginning. As the prices moved in one direction, they only needed to buy low and sell high, buy high and sell higher. After the gains, confidence rose and many sold away all their property in order to invest more money in tulips, hoping to make more money. The desire was so strong that those who were watching also rushed to the tulip market. Everyone thought that the high demand for tulips would continue forever and prices could only go up because more and more people from all over the world would start to like tulips.When the prices of tulips was much higher than it should be, few people bought them for planting in their gardens. The real demand for the flowers seemed greater than it really was. Many people were buying them for speculation(投机), not appreciation. In 1637, for some unknown reasons, a group of people suddenly realized the danger. The prices of tulips began to fall and the market crashed. When confidence was destroyed, it could not be recovered and prices kept falling. Soon the noblesand the rich became poor. Cries of suffering were heard everywhere in Holland.1. Why did the upper classes buy tulips in the beginning?A. Because the prices of tulips were low.B. Because they wanted to make a fortune.C. Because tulips were introduced from abroad.D. Because tulips were beautiful and represented power.2. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. greed(贪婪) was the reason why so many people were mad about tulipsB. tulips became popular among the upper classes very slowlyC. people who were mad about tulips bought them for appreciationD. when the prices were extremely high, most people planted tulips in their gardens3. The passage is mainly about .A. Europe in the 17th centuryB. buying and selling tulipsC. being mad about tulipsD. the life of the nobles and the richBThe most common symbol of a nation in the modern world is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive (原始的) artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years' development. Historians believethat it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile (脆弱的) houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People's food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 BC was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab Lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.4. The best title for the passage would be .A. Development of the National FlagB. Power of the National FlagC. Type of FlagsD. Uses of flags5. The underlined word "vulnerable" in paragraph 3 means .A. impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be protectedC. easy to damageD. difficult to find6. What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He believes it was made in China.C. He thinks it came from China.D. He doubts where it started.7. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.二、阅读理解（共4小题；共8.0分）New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1,000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt.The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wudi returned from a dangerous secret mission(使命) across the western desert into the remote Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys inancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and wonder the mystery of just when and how Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture.8. The underlined word "coupled" in the first paragraph could best be replaced by .A. producedB. continuedC. doubledD. combined9. The silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggeststhat .A. Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silkB. trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thoughtC. historical research often achieves fascinating resultsD. new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices10. Until recently most historians officially believed that trade along the Silk Road .A. originated in the 2nd century BCB. extended human migration into eastern AsiaC. began a million years agoD. primarily benefited the Egyptians11. Historians have always considered Zhang Qian's journey important because they believe .A. he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperorB. he discovered the Silk RoadC. he helped establish East-West tradeD. he travelled as far as Afghanistan三、阅读理解（共5小题；共10.0分）AIDS-related illnesses have killed more than 30 million people since 1981. That's half as many deaths as in World War II. And it's not over. An estimated 1.1 million Americans are among the 33 million people worldwide who are now living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.Between 1884 and 1924, somewhere near modern-day Kinshasa in West Central Africa, a hunter kills a chimpanzee. Some of the animal's blood enters the hunter's body, possibly through an open wound. The blood carries a virus harmless to the chimp but deadly to humans: HIV.In June, 1981, the CDC publishes a report from Los Angeles of five young homosexual men with fatal or life-threatening PCP pneumonia. First cases recognized. In 1985, Rock Hudson dies of AIDS. Larry Kramer's AIDS play, "The Normal Heart." shocks New York audiences.In 1986, for the first time, President Reagan publicly utters the word "AIDS." In 1987, Princess Diana is photographed hugging people with AIDS. Reagan makes his first speech on AIDS. Liberace dies of AIDS. Three years later, Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe dies of AIDS.In 1988, the first World AIDS DAY is held on Dec. 1. During 1991-1992, the red ribbon is introduced as a symbol of AIDS solidarity(团结一致). But AIDS becomes the leading cause of death in U.S. men aged 25-44 and ten years later, AIDS becomes the leading cause of death worldwide for people aged 15 to 59.In 2008, for the first time, global AIDS deaths decline. UNAIDS calculates that the global spread of AIDS peaked in 1996 at 3.5 million new infections. Deaths peaked in 2004, at 2.2 million. Yet AIDS Day 2009 brings surprising figures: 2.7 millionnew HIV infections and 2 million AIDS deaths in the previous year.Researchers have discovered more than a dozen antibodies that target the HIV virus. They hope that these discoveries will lead to a vaccine that offers long-term protection against AIDS. One antibody in particular, PGT 128, is considered among the most potent and promising—preventing about 70% of viruses from infecting cells in laboratory tests.12. Why does the author mention the year 1981 in the first paragraph?A. Because there is no recorder before 1981.B. Because the author thinks 1981 is the first year of a decade.C. Because in 1981, the first case of AIDS was confirmed.D. Because there was fewer AIDS before 1981, even none.13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. HIV: from monkeys to humans.B.

The MFG is known in the UK, but we18 the 'victory' sign made popular by Churchill, in a similar way."19 struck me that the French might well consider it sufficient to20 just the middle finger.But what is really needed here is the time machine historian with a video camerato nail down the 21 . Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating(预期) victory over the 22 , proposed to23 the middle finger of all 24 English soldiers. Withoutthe middle finger, it would be 25 to draw the well-known English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting 26 .This famous 27 was made of the native English Yew tree and theact of 28 the longbow was known as "plucking the yew". Much to the 29 of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking(嘲弄)the French by 30 their middle fingers at the31 French, saying, "See, we can still pluck(拉) yew! PLUCK YEW!"Over the years, some "folk etymologies(词源学)" have grown up around thissymbolic 32 . Since "pluck yew" is rather 33 tosay (like "pleasant mother, pheasant plucker", which is who you had to go to forthe feathers used on the arrows for the longbow), the difficult consonant(辅音的)group at the beginning has gradually changed to an "F", and thus the34 often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are35 thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the 36 that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird".17. A. hand B. foot C. head D. finger18. A. use B. make C. create D. take19. A. What B.

〔英语〕高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programmeon a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International , an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see.The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices.This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter .〔1〕 The first paragraph is meant to.A. offer a suggestionB. give a warningC. explain a reasonD. introduce the topic 〔2〕 It can be learned from the text that more and more people will.A. prefer to read local newsB. pay more attention to world newsC. start a career in citizen journalismD. give up watching TV news programmes（3〕 What would be the best title for the text?A.
