课时练(二) 阅读理解提速练(练速度)(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·华中师大附中高三上学期期中检测)Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria (疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.Tu shared the prize with Irish­born William Campbell andSatoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionaryanti­roundworm treatment. 84­year­old Tu is awarded this prizefor her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria,reducing patients' suffering and promoting mankind's health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu's dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素), the key drug that battles malaria­friendly parasites (寄生虫).However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn't have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three­noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she's never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China's national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu's record­breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward heor she may get.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校课时跟踪练40 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestorsⅠ.阅读理解AA letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆)by the FBI after being stolen twice.“We realized in the mid­1970s that it was missing，” says Effie Kapsalis，head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives.“It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern(实习生)，from what the FBI is telling us.Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes，and the intern put the letter back.The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”Decades passed.Finally，the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington，DC.Their art crime team recovered the letter but as unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended.The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist，Dr Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden，for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition，in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long.“It was luckily in good shape，”says Kapsalis.“And we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it.It has some glue on it that has coloured it slightly，but nothing that will prevent us from using it.After it is repaired，we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”It would now be difficult for an intern，a visitor or a thief to steal a document like this.“Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s，”says Kapsalis，“and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to.”1．What happened to Darwin's letter in the mid­1970s?A．It was recovered by the FBI.B．It was stolen more than once.C．It was put in the Archives for research purposes.D．It was purchased by the Smithsonian Institution Archives.2．What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?A．They proved its authenticity.B．They kept it in a special safe.C．They arrested the suspect immediately.D．They pressed criminal charges in vain.3．What is Darwin's letter about?A．The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B．His cooperation with an American geologist.C．Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D．His acknowledgement of help from a professional.4．What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A．Reserve it for research purposes only.B．Turn it into an object of high interest.C．Keep it a permanent secret.D．Make it available online.【语篇解读】达尔文的一封亲笔信失而复得，现收藏于史密森学会档案馆。

The 400 phone messages said it all. Veterans(老兵) wanted to talk, and Jeff Beers, a military history buff and the son of a retired Navy man, was ready to listen. Beers had volunteered for the Veterans History Project, a program at the Library of Congress dedicated to preserving the oral histories of American’s 19 million veterans. Local newspapers listed Beer’s number, and the response was tremendous. He’s videotaped 52 vets ever since.“Most of them are shocked that anyone would be interested in their small story,” says Beers, 33, an assistant engineer for the city of Poway, Calif. “They ask, ‘Why now?’ B ut it has to be now, before it’s too late.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1,847 veterans die each day.Beers and the other volunteers are collecting the I-was-there detail. One of the most moving came from a World War II POW (prisoner of war): “He had to march 500 miles through the Black Forest in winter. They ate bark soup and slept at local farm.”The WW II generation comprises(包含) most of the 700 histories gathered since the program began in 2001. But, says director Ellen Lovell, they want to hear from vets of every war. “I interviewed my brother-in-law, an army surgeon in Vietnam,” she says. “He said he shared things with me t hat he’s never told anyone.”1. What do we know from the text about the veterans?A. They live a very happy life after the war.B. They often told their stories to others.C. They were highly respected by people.D. They are becoming fewer and fewer in numbers.答案解析：答案为D。

One windy spring day，I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind，they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled，but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be free！” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”．Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions，rules to follow from which we can grow and gainstrength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律)，we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of theprohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve. 1．In the passage the writer watched .A．many young people enjoying the sunny dayB．many birds dashing and dancing in the skyC．many young people flying multicolored kitesD．the strong winds blowing against the sky2．What enables a kite fly gracefully in the sky according to the story?

Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.

UNIT8 GREENLIVING组合练(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France,where a group of anyself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie.It looked simple enough,but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be.However,my knife and I mastered this French classic,as well as dozens of others.After graduating,I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida.Despite the re staurant’s tiny kitchen,I was excited to work under Sylvia,the executive chef (主厨).The first job she gave me was to make apple pies.I couldn’t have been more excited—until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling.But my education had made me stick to French tradition.It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again.Slowly,I was forgetting my French tradition,and beginning to go with the flow more.The response from diners was good.Our desserts were sold out on most days.Then one day,chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week.Surprised and touched by the chance,I decided to go all out.I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp,delicate cookie).But after a week,the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert.A sense of frustration went inside of me.It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine,or set of ingredients (配料).Where one chef can look at apples,butter,and flour and see a French applepie,another might see baked apple dumplings.Even though each person’s translation may be different,I think they all deserve a spot on the table.And that was the most important lesson I discovered,through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团).1.What makes the author feel surprised according to paragraph 2?A.The tiny kitchen.B.The shape of apple pies.C.The restaurant’s tradition.D.The French way of cooking.2.How was the author’s new dessert?A.It wasn’t popular as expected.B.It was thought highly of by Sylvia.C.It was removed from the menu.D.It built up the author’s confidence.3.What did the author finally realize?A.Foods stand for cultures.B.Ingredients matter to cooking.C.There is no fixed way for cooking.D.Understanding a cuisine is necessary.4.What is the text mainly about?A.A job affecting one’s life.B.A new dessert on the menu.C.A special class at a cooking school.D.A lesson taken as a dessert chef. Ⅱ.七选五(河南开封三模)Bread making is a survival skill.With very few simple things—such as flour,salt and yeast—you can bake a fresh loaf of bread for your family,neighbors or coworkers.Baking is not just a useful survival skill. 1 In fact,baking and cooking have been used to treat people with mental health issues.Julie Ohana,a social worker,offers what she calls culinary therapy to her patients in New York City to help them overcome many kinds of issues. 2Bakingrequiresmindfulness.When you’re in the kitchen,it really requires a certain level of mindfulness,of being present in the moment.And baking really requires step-by-step,following a recipe,being moreprecise.Kneading the dough (揉面团) or rolling something out,you really get the full benefit of being present in the moment and being able to relax and put aside all the other thoughts and just focus on the here-and-now.Bakingisalaboroflove.Baking is a process filled with love. 3 When you bake,you go through this whole process and it really is a labor of love and you end up with this finished product that—not only is it tangible—but it’s edible and it’s delicious.4Often our food eily memories and stories.We remember meals our grandmothers made.We teach our children important recipes for family favorites.Bakingisawin-win.Giving delicious,baked goods makes the giver feel as good as the receiver.To pass the baked goods on to someone else certainly can make the day for the person receiving it. 5A.Baking is rewarding.B.Baking is emotional.C.It not only makes you feel good,it produces something you can touch and eat!D.But it’s also just as powerful for the person who’s giving them.E.It can make you feel better at stressful times.F.She explains that culinary therapy works on many levels.G.And the receiver can benefit a lot from baking.Ⅲ.语法填空With five thousand years of creative efforts,the Chinese cuisine has become increasingly popular.Modern China enjoys a worldwide reputation as the “kingdom of cuisine.”The variety of natural materials 1. methods of preparation employed in Chinese cuisine stand out unequaled in the world,which may account for the 2. (universe) popularity of Chinese restaurants and cooking overseas.The three key elements,by3. Chinese cooking is judged,are known as “color”,“aroma” and “taste.” They are achieved by combining a series of delicate 4. (activity).Visitors to China are often surprised when a typical dinner for a table of eight people 5. (consist) of cold and hot dishes,with soup and steamed rice.Often beer and wine 6. (serve) as well.When toasting each other,people usually dry up their glasses 7.(convey) the message that they aresincere and joyful.8. ,it is quite acceptable for a foreign guest to take a little instead of emptying the glass.While the custom strikes a foreign visitor as 9. (particular) strange,it shows one key aspect that fine food and good drink,10.

贵州思南县中学2017高考英语阅读理解一轮精编阅读理解。

阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems? There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure2. The underlined word “diversion〞(in Paragraph 2) most probably means “〞.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories3. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.4. In the last paragraph, the writer questions.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems1、答案解析：答案为A。

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth . Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strengt h. Imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could creat e my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying o n them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results o f the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off scree n, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to f ollow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character o r unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to c reate something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers , and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touche d you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, n ot desperation. The world is changed not by those who do wh at has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless reso urce of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the d oor of imagination.Syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stan d on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and k now that they are cheering on.( ) 1.Imitation proves useful when you .A. know you are uniqueB. lose the balance of lifeC. begin to learn something newD. get tired of routine practice ( ) 2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.A. forget daily fear and painB. choose the right exampleC. ask others for decisionsD. stay away from stars( ) 3.Acording to the author. The world moves on because of t hose who are .A. desperate to intruence others with their knowledgeB. ready to turn their original ideas into realityC. eager to discover what their ancestors didD. willing to accept others’ ideas( ) 4.The trouble a creator faces is .A. the lack of strong motivationB. the absence of practical ide asC. how to search for more materialsD. how to use imaginati on creatively( ) 5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creatively.B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation.D. To explain the meaning of success.【文章大意】议论文文章讨论了要创新，不要盲目模仿。

专题技能突破（8)阅读理解之主旨大意【技能讲解】主旨大意题是高考阅读题目考查中必不可少的题目之一，可以利用主题句来概括标题，抓住每段的首尾句,综合得出文章的大意.特别关注首尾段落，找到文章的中心。

当出现but，however，therefore 等词后，特别关注这些被强调的部分。

另外，可以通过排除法得出正确答案.题干中4个选项，经常会出现某个选项是某一段落的意思，不足以代表全文；还有的选项会是放之四海而皆准的句子，过于宽泛;还有的选项会是偏离文章主题的意思。

总之，如果能够排除太大、太小、太偏的选项,正确答案就一目了然了.典例剖析1.[2015·江苏高考，C篇]Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It's very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities。

To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work。

Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer。

Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example，people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness，to expandtheir range of experiences，and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs，people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor （e.g.，“I volunteer because it's important to me。

专题08 应用文专练二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。

1.（2023秋·北京房山·高三统考期末）Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the bookshelves and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.Bishan Library (Singapore)Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy corners for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library is characterized by its attractive white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artwork as well as books.The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region’s nomadic people.With more funding, they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the books they carry.Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)A wonderful combination of cutting-edge and sustainable ideas, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like the shape of a eucalyptus tree.

However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.Things to KnowLondoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do--while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might c onsider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness；it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.How to Get AroundGetting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.13．When is the best time to visit London for people who enjoy a lively atmosphere?A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.14．Where is this text most probably taken from?A．A survey. B．A guidebook.C．A research paper. D．A travel journal.15．Which of the following is the most suitable topic for starting a conversation with Londoners?A．Daily entertainments. B．Future career plans.C．Personal relationships. D．Annual incomes.6.（2022·上海虹口·统考一模）Guidelines for Poster PresentationsDate: Friday 28 OctoberTime: 13.00-14.20 (Presenters are required to be by their posters by 12.55 sharp.)Poster Session Format- The poster session is a self-explanatory exhibit where the presenter(s) is/are available for one-on-one discussion.- All the in-person poster presentations will take place simultaneously (同时进行的).
