According to a recent survey, about 85. 8 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor. Yet for various reasons, many students don't want to improve their handwriting.51. 5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting, and 32. 3 percent believe that they are so busy with the study that they do not have time to practise. 10. 9 percent think that practising handwriting is useless.As the sa ying goes, “writing style shows the man ”. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.书⾯表达训练下⾯是你所在的城市要在市中⼼新建⼀个公园的信息，假如你是李华，是你校英⽂报的记者，请根据以下信息，为校报英语栏⽬写⼀篇报道．【参考范⽂】书⾯表达训练请仔细观察图⽚，描述图⽚内容，并以⽣活中发⽣的⼀件事情说明图⽚所说明的内涵。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校2017四川剑阁县高考英语一轮阅读理解训练阅读理解。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

You’ve seen news reports about people who need help after a flood. Maybe you’ve walked past people who are sleeping on the streets. Or perhaps you’ve watched TV programs about how lonely older people can get. So what can you do about any of those things? The answer: You can volunteer (做志愿者).Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills —from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals. It gives you a chance to find o ut what kinds of things you’re good at and enjoy the most. Volunteering can provide you with a sense of responsibility because people really depend on you. And it can help you understand disabled (残疾的) people, sick kids, or the elderly.Volunteering helps people feel they do have the power to change things for the better. When people depend on you, it can change the way you look at yourself, and this is the main reason that makes volunteering attractive. You can feel proud of the goals that you’ve achieved (实现) for a charity organization (慈善组织) —whether it’s helping to organize a 10K to raise money for lung cancer or running the race itself. Sometimes it’s easy to feel worried about your grades or the fight you had with your friend or parents. And although these things are very important in their own way, sometimes it can be helpful to get some distance and think about other things. Volunteering allows you to do this. It lets you focus on others that are worth doing.Finally, volunteering can help save you from being bored — it gives you a place to be where you can have a good time and keep busy.1. From the passage, we can learn that volunteering ____.A. is the best way to find out your interestsB. mainly helps the old and the poor peopleC. makes sure volunteers will get a good job in the futureD. can help volunteers choose a job that they really like in the future2. Today, most people volunteer mainly for the purpose of ______.A. making themselves famous and popularB. knowing their value by helping othersC. increasing their knowledge and learning skillsD. helping people out of trouble3. What do the underlined words “a 10K” (Paragraph 3) probably refer to?A. A charity organization.B. A volunteer group.C. A 10-kilometer race.D. A political activity.4. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. talk about the difficulties of volunteeringB. talk about how to make life meaningfulC. tell readers how to volunteerD. talk about the advantages of volunteering【参考答案】1---4、DBCD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。

高考题型·组合规范练18选择性必修第四册UNIT4阅读理解题组——练速度(35mins)Ⅰ.阅读理解AChinaTea originated in Ancient China and has been a big part of Chinese culture since.It is said that China introduced tea to the rest of the world!The country has a diverse landscape that produces hundreds of different types of tea:green,oolong,black,white,and yellow tea.Tea ceremonies are an essential part of Chinese weddings when the bride and groom kneel before their parents to serve them tea.RussiaTea is also a considerable part of Russian hospitality.Russians like to brew a robust loose leaf black tea,which can then bediluted(稀释) to the drinker’s taste with boiling water.You can drink the tea black or with the additions of sugar,milk,or lemon.Just make sure you have a tasty treat,like a pastry(油酥糕点),on the side.Drinking “naked” tea is considered a major faux pas(失礼).JapanThe Japanese are keen green tea drinkers.It’s often served at restaurants in place of water!Their tea of choice is usually matcha,a type of green tea with a bright color that has been dried and ground down into a fine powder.In Japan,you can find tea houses where intricate(错综复杂的) tea ceremonies,often involving matcha,are performed.MoroccoMint lovers will love Moroccan tea the most.Touareg is the name for Morocco’s signature hot mint tea(薄荷茶).Though it can be enjoyed casually,Touareg is traditionally linked to hospitality and friendship.It is traditionally served in small glasses rather than teacups.It must be poured from a height of at least twelveinches so that foam is created on the surface.If there is no foam,the tea is considered undrinkable!1.What do Russians think of drinking “naked” tea?A.Impoliteness.B.Politeness.B.Generosity. D.Enthusiasm.2.Why must tea be poured from a height in Morocco?A.To make it much cooler.B.To add more flavour to it.C.To make it suitable to drink.D.To make foam on the surface.3.Which of the countries produces the most varieties of tea?A.China.B.Russia.C.Japan.D.Morocco.BIf you stop a random person on the street in China,there’s a pretty good chance that their surname would be eitherWang,Li,Zhang,Liu or Chen.That’s because those are the five most common surnames in China—shared by 30% of the population.And the vast majority of the population share just 100 of those surnames.In comparison,the United States reported 6.3 million surnames in its census.There are a few reasons for this:China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US,where a wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity (多样性).It also has to do with language;you can’t just add a random stroke (笔画) to a Chinese character and create a new surname.But there’s also another factor at play:technology.With China roaring into the digital age,nearly everything has moved online—from making appointments to buying train tickets.The main problem is that not all Chinese characters have been coded into computer systems.That meant a world of trouble if you happened to have a rare character in your name.As of ,up to 60 million Chinese citizens faced this problem,according to Xinhua.People with rare characters in their names,which aren’t compatible(兼容的) with eputer systems,can get left behind—pushing many to change their names for the sake of convenience,even if it means abandoning centuries of heritage and languages.To try to address this,experts have increased the database from 32,000 characters to 70,000 characters,according to the government.They’re still working to eore than 90,000 characters,said Chen Jiawei,an associate professor at Beijing Normal University.4.What can be learned from the comparison according to Paragraph 1?A.There are fewer common surnames in China.B.Chinese people like sharing the same surname.C.The United States owns the most surnames in the world.D.6.3 million surnames in China have been shared until now.5.Which one describes surname diversity properly?A.New Chinese surnames are easy to create.B.Surname diversity totally depends on technology.C.Minority groups can increase surname diversity.D.Surnames in computer systems are regularly changed.6.What may happen to people with rare characters in their names?A.They will lose their heritage.B.They have to change their names.C.They should eay upgrade computer systems.7.Why have experts increased the character database?A.To save the heritage and languages.B.To keep traditional Chinese culture.C.To give people more choices when naming.D.To let us know more Chinese characters.CThe government of Singapore has created a highly developed system that turns wastewater into drinking water.The system involves a network of tunnels and high-technology treatment centers.The system helps reduce ocean pollution,as only a small amount of the treated water is sent into the sea.The United Nations estimates that 80 percent of the world’s wastewater flows back into the oceans without being treated or reused.Singapore has few natural water sources.The island nation has long had to depend mostly on supplies from neighboring Malaysia.Low Pei Chin,an expert,told reporters,“Singapore lacks natural resources,and it is limited in space,which is why we are always looking for ways to explore water sources and stretch our water supply.One major plan is to collect every drop and reuse endlessly.”Parts of the water treatment center are underground.Wastewater enters the center through a 48-kilometer tunnel that is linked to sewers.The center contains a large system of steelpipes,tubes,tanks,cleaning systems and other machinery.It can treat up to 900 million liters of wastewater a day.In one building,a network of air flow systems has been put in place to keep the air smelling as fresh as possible.Waste thatarrives at the plant goes through a cleaning process before powerful pumps send it flowing to areas above ground for more treatment.There,the treated water receives additional cleaning.Bacteria and viruses are removed through highly developed cleaning processes and then disinfected with ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation.Singapore is also in the process of e.The country will add another underground tunnel and a major water treatment center to serve the western half of the island.Officials epleted by .By the time the expansion is finished,Singapore will have spent about $7.4 billion on its water treatment systems.8.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The world’s oceans are polluted by wastewater.B.Wastewater is usually treated before sent into the oceans.C.Only a small amount of the treated water is suitable to drink.D.80 percent of the water in the oceans can be used as drinking water.9.Why are the Singaporeans always looking for ways to explore water sources?A.Because Singapore is an island nation.B.Because Singapore lacks water sources.C.Because they are used to drinking treated water.D.Because they can’t get water supplies from other countries.10.What does the siainly tell us?A.How the wastewater is treated.B.Why the treatment center is built.C.What the treatment center consists of.D.Where the treatment center is located.11.Which is the last step of the process?A.Giving the treated water additional cleaning.B.Sending the water above for more treatment.C.Removing bacteria and viruses in the water.D.Disinfecting the water with ultraviolet radiation.DGranada is Spain’s most visited city,drawing tourists from all over the world,most of whom are eager to see the famous world heritage sites.Also,some people can enjoy the wonderful music and dance festivals there.Located in Spain’s most southern regi on,you are guaranteed lovely hot weather during the

courtyard and lovely views are some of the reasons why so many guests enjoy their stay.Located on the hill not far from the Alhambra is Albaicin.This used to be an Arab silk market,but today the small streets are filled with shops selling local handicrafts.From Albaicin,there is a steep walk up to a church,but it’s well worth the effort.With the mountains in the background,you will be able to get a beautiful view.Granada has its own airport with flights from London and Stansted,so flying out for a long weekend couldn’t be easier.Why not discover for yourself why so many people around the world love coming to this charming city?12.Why do so many tourists travel to Granada?A.To enjoy the famous festivals.B.To visit the world heritage sites.C.To learn about its old culture.D.To ebra got its

高中英语真题:2016高考英语阅读理解及书面表达练习（4）基础写作1---2题型探究探究点一难句的表达下面我们来谈论一下基础写作的解题方法。

基础写作的难点是难句的表达。

每一道题目的中文内容都有一些与英文表达稍有差异甚至大相径庭的表达形式。

【举例说明】假设你是李华，请根据你校美化校园的规划，用英语给你在美国的笔友Peter写一封信，介绍该规划。

信的主要内容如下：【写作要求】1．应包含所给出的全部信息，开头和结尾已经给出，但不计入总句数；2．必须使用5个句子组成连贯的短文。

Dear Peter，I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new p rogram..Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours，Li Hua【学生样本】Dear Peter，I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new p rogram.①In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air, we plan to have more trees in our school now.②In order t o get good places to study and live, we have many plans.③Fi rst, we plan to build a botanical garden and let students visit a nd use.④Second, we plan to build up a small garden for peop le to rest and study.⑤At last, we plan to build some statues of famous people to effect students and teachers.Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours，Li Hua【评论点拨】我们来看看学生的样本有什么地方可以改进：第①句：“In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air ”比较生硬， to make our school beautiful应该改为to make our school more beautiful；“we plan to have more trees in our school now”中的have改为plant会好些。

高考英语一轮总复习必修第一册提能训练：Unit 4 Natural DisastersⅠ.阅读理解A(2024·浙江1月高考题) On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letti ng the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weath er Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr. Doswell says. “Doe s cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。

It' s never a real problem for us when the weather gets cold． We have many different ways of coping with the cold．We can put on more clothes, stay next to a fireplace, turn on the air conditioner or simply travel to a warmer city to spend the winter．But things are not as easy for plants Unlike humans, plants can’t move to escape the cold or generate heat to keep themselves warm．So how do they manage to survive the freezing winter?The cold is a big challenge for plants．Their living tissues can be damaged when they freeze．It's like a plant's equivalent(相等物）to frostbite（冻疮）．Also，the process of freezing and thawing（解冻）can cause air bubbles to form in the plant's water transport system．If enough of these air bubbles come together as water thaws they can block the flow of water from the roots to the leaves and kill the plant． To live through cold weather，plants have developed three strategies，Some plants，such as oak trees, avoid freezing damage by dropping their leaves, before the winter chill sets in-effectively shutting off the flow of water between roots and leaves—and growing new leaves and water transport cells when the warm spring returns. Other plants, pine trees for example, protect them-selves by narrowing their water transport cells, which makes it easier for cells to travel among air bubbles．The third stratef;yi8 also the most extreme．Some plants; die on the ground in winter and start growing as new plants from seeds when conditions get warmer．However, these smart strategies were developed \nmry8lowly－over millions of years of evolution．This leads scientists to worry that plants may not be able to deal with human-caused climate change, which has only started occurring over the past few decades．Scientists are hoping to find possible ways to save plants from the threat of climate change．1．What is the text mainly about?A．Different ways for people to keep warm．B．How plants live through the freezing winter．C．How plants develop the 8tratef;ies to keep warm*D．The ways to save plants from the cold,2．If the water transport from roots to leaves 18 blocked, ． A．the plant will suffer from f'rostbiteB．air bubbles will be formedC．the plant's living tissues will be damagedD．the plant will be killed3．Oak trees protect themselves by ．A．stopping the water transport from roots to leavesB．dropping their leaves to grow seedsC．slowing the flow of water from roots to leavesD．storing enough water in the roots4．What does the underlined phrase “sets i n” mean in Paragraph3?A．stops B．begins C．leaves D．returns5．What is the main idea of the last paragraphA．Plants can, easily adapt to climate change．B．Scientists are making efforts to save plants．C．Climates change is a great threat to plants．D．Plants are developing new strategies to survive．【参考答案】1—5、BDADC阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
