AI was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday. I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus, By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.21．The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday.A．from the newspaper B．from his friendsC．from one of his work-mates D．over the radio22．He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______.A．once B．three timesC．twice D．four times23．One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus.A．forty-five minutes B．fifteen minutesC．over an hour D．just twenty minutes24．The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by ___________.A．surprised B．puzzledC．pleased D．sorryBEveryone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so c ompletely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywh ere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.See happy movies… and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good bre akfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.25.Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. It’s delicious from chips to candy.B. It’s easily taken everywhere.C. Because it’s av ailable here and there.D. It’s easily bought in fast food restaurants.26.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.B. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.C. People prefer to snake from a large bucket.D. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.27.What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?A. To eat nothing in the morning.B. To eat breakfast and exercise.C. To get up early and to go to bed late.D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.28.What is the text mainly about the rule(s)?A. how to eat properly and healthily.B. how to make friends with dainty eaters.C. how much to eat in the morning.D. how to control overeating.CTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon be totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become attracted in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments.This opportunity to escape the realities of ever yday life is the main attraction of a bookshop.A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such a place to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting “Can I help you?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the back ground until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a text book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.29.According to the passage ,the main attraction of a bookshop is ______ .A. the chance to get free from the realityB. learning something from the booksC. a shelter from a sudden showerD. the surrounding of books30.The writer thinks that the assistant in a bookshop should ______.A. greet customers pleasantly and warmlyB. not disturb the customers when they readC. help the readers to find what they wantD. not stay in the background all the time31.The purpose of writing the third paragraph is to_______.A. tell us a story about a bookshopB. teach us to read in shops without buying booksC. support the main idea of the passageD. teach us to help people whenever we canDWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the chi ld from the favored school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.32. The word “favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ________.A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobsB. poor children with certificates are favored in job marketsC. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobsD. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success33. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputationB. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.C. There would be more opportunities and excellence.D. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.34. The opponents of the examination system will agree that ________.A. computers should be selected to take over many jobsB. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionC. special classes are necessary to keep the school standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with35. The passage mainly focuses on ________.A. schools and certificatesB. opportunity and employmentC. standards and reputationD. examination and equality第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

定远县育才(yùcái)2021届新高三英语暑假特训卷03第二局部阅读理解〔一共两节，满分是40分〕第一节〔一共15小题；每一小题2分，满分是30分〕阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI remember clearly the last time I cried. I was twelve years old, in the seventh grade, and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team. I walked into the gym. There was a piece of paper on the wall.It was a cut list. The boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on practicing. The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut. Their presence wasno longer desired.I had not known the cut was coming that day. I stood and stared at the list. The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration. The names of the best players were at the top, and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending (下降的) order of basketball skills. I kept looking at the bottom of the list, hoping that my name would appear if I looked hard enough.I held myself together as I walked out, bat when I got home I began to cry. For the first time in my life, I had been told officially that I wasn't good enough. Sportsmeant everything to boys of that age. If you were on the team, it put you in thedesirable group. If you were not, you might as well not be alive.All these years later, I remember it as if 1 were still standing right there in the gym. I don't know how the mind works in matters like this. I don't know what went on in my head following that day of cut. But I know that my determination has been so strong ever since then. I have known that for all my life since that day. I have done more workthan I had to be doing and pat in more hours than I had to be spending, I don't know if all of that came from a determination never to allow myself to be cut again—never to allow someone to tell me that I'm not good enough again—but I know it is there. And clearly it's there in a lot of other successful men too.1.From the text we learn that the cut list had names of pupils __________.A.who were cut outB.who were still on the teamC.who were the old playersD.who were not good enough2.Why did the author react so strongly to the cut?A.It hurt his pride deeply.B.It was open to the public.C.It listed his name at the bottom.D.It forced him to change the team.3.We can infer from the text that the author __________.A.has made friends with many other menB.has never learned the truth of the cutC.has become quite successful in lifeD.has learned to play basketball very wellBI have a neighbour we call Happy. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh(难听(nántīng)的) word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all­day food fest〞. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to take place.By 9：00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra and squash. By 10：00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By 5：00 pm, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(大量(dàliàng)给予之物) of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company. None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben's garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to planta garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!4. We can infer that Happy and her husband Ben________．A. are a generous and warm­hearted coupleB. sometimes quarrel with each otherC. live on the food they grow in their gardenD. don't like spending time with others5.According to Paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that ________．A. they didn't have to spend so much money on foodB. they could grow vegetables and sell them at the marketC. they could invite their neighbours and hold parties in itD. they could spend happy hours together with their families in it6. For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbours to their garden?A. To ask them to attend a birthday party.B. To help them get to know each other.C. To ask them to share some interesting stories.D. To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.7.What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?A. It was too long.B. It was wonderful.C. It was not as good as he thought.D. It was too terrible.CSleep is a basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen. Getting a good night’s sleep is not only directly related to how we feel the next day, but to our long-term health as well. However, many of us suffer from insomnia (失眠(shī mián)). Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week. This is a serious problem.Well, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? Here are some suggestions.If you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, don’t get up. The bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia. Stay in bed!Avoid short sleep during the day, except for a brief ten to fifteen-minute sleep between 2:00 and 4:00 P.M.Limit your time in bed to the average number of hours you’ve actually slept per night last week. Don’t try to make up for lost sleep. It can’t be done.Get regular exercise each day, but finish at least six hours before bedtime. Exercising in the evening can help keep you awake.Take a hot bath for thirty minutes within two hours of bedtime. The bath will warm you, relax you, and make you feel sleepy.Keep our bedroom dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风).Keep a regular schedule seven days a week. Avoid sleeping late on weekends. Although it may feel good while you’re doing it, sleeping late on weekend can lead to insomnia during the week.Don’t drink alcohol (酒精). Although, having a drink before bed makes you sleep, alcohol loses its effects after a while.

That’s the finding of a new study. Thatmemory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象(chōuxiàng)的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big a radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking.A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk ontheir phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. Even the type of network signal that a phone uses can matter. Much of Switzerland was using an older “second-generation〞 type of cell phone networks, the study reports. Many phonecarriers (通讯公司) have moved away from such networks. And more companies plan to update their networks within the next few years.The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with theability to remember shapes is near the right ear.12.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?A.The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.B.The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.C.Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.D.The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.13.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.How people hold their phones has no effect on their bodies.B.Phone users can make more money with new networks.C.The cell phone network type has little to do the cell phone use.D.Radiation levels are affected by the cell phone network types.14.According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ________.A.matching numbersB.reading signalsC.remembering shapesD.learning words15.What might be the best title for the text?A.Cell phone use and safety warningsB.Facts about cell phone use at schoolC.Dangerous levels of cell phone use among teensD.Teen’s cell phone use linked to memory problems第二节〔一共5小题(xiǎo tí)；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

专题03 利用词汇复现和逻辑关系进行解题距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。

以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。

做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。

总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。

在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。

英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。

另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。

【技法指导】完形填空题主要考查考生对语境的理解能力,所以空格的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多)。

考生在做题时,一定要联系上下文,从整体上把握文章的内容,弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系,结合语境辨析所给选项,从中选出最符合语境的选项。

在利用语境暗示法解题时,考生需从整体上把握文章内容,进行连贯性思考,进而把每个设空处的含义与前后句的意思联系起来,进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。

常见的词汇复现有以下两类：1.完形中的词汇『复现」“词汇复现”是指某一词汇以原词、词形变化、同义词/近义词、反义词、上下义词等重复出现在语篇之中，使得语篇中的句子相互衔接和连贯，意义统一完整。

His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.Beethoven's music teacher said about him，“As a composer（作曲家）he is hopeless.” What if this young boy believed it?When Thomas Edison was a young boy,his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything.He once said,“I remember I used to never be able to get along at school.I was always at the foot of my class…My father thought I was stupid,and I almost decided that l was a stupid person.”What if young Thomas believed what may said about him?When the sculptor(雕刻家)Auguste Rodin was young; he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, "I have an idiot(白痴) for a son. "His uncle agreed. "He's uneducable," he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no "good ideas". Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, "you can't sing. You have no voice at all. " And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, "It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts. "You have great potential.When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.24. How many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?A. six.B. seven.C. eight.D. nine.25. Which of the following statements is RIGHT?A.

Working Hard for SuccessB. Having DreamsC. Believing in YourselfD. Self-challengingCIn his new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey's Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated（截）below the knee.Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,whohas been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, "The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3",explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假腿),he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a "stubborn" patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor."It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, 'You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, "' Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. "Tap dancers-they're always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, " he said.Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won't shy away from the physical "weakness" his performance shows because of his condition."A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, 'You're such a role model and an inspiration, ' "he said. "I'm honored when people say that, of course, but I'm just trying to get on with my life."28. What makes Ruggiero's new show unusual?A. One-legged dance.B. His own artworks.C. The use of instrument.D. Songs of pop standard.29. According to the passage, it is true that .A. Ruggiero is a tough person with a strong willB. the setback has ended Ruggiero's dance careerC. Ruggiero is dancing relying on others' supportD. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying30. When audience attend his performance, they may notice .A. Ruggiero plays piano, sings and dancesB. Ruggiero is a dancer with the help of a peg legC. there are many tap dancers in the performanceD. Ruggiero pretends to be a physically normal person31. What's the author's attitude to Evan?A. WorriedB. SympatheticC. EncouragedD. PitifulDIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.32.The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds33. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.34. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused35.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interest 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 31 Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.32 Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.33 To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. 34 Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful. 35 .As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A. Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.B. Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C. The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D. The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E. The women then decide which man they like best.F. The men pretend to fight each other.G.
