高一英语限时训练五一、阅读理解Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade, when he learned about Amazon. Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”1. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age?A. Because he could earn some pocket money.B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.C. Because his parents could help with his study.D. Because he could get access to the Internet.2. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.

Associated with B. decorated with C. thought to D. took to二、阅读理解A“Only in a few years you’ll be an adult!” This statement is usually by adults with a wink at my mother. I usually take “the wink(眨眼）” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right?” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票）and work at Walmart.This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew outof military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when i t actually starts.My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her? Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different form the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen V ogue feature(专栏）and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one: Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry. So in conclusion, my point is this: Being a grown-up is less about your age, but more about what you do with your life.21.What does the author think of the age of 18?A.She can be responsible for herself.B. It is when she still doesn’t know things.C. It is legal for her to do online business.D. She still can’t do things like adults.22.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Her growing up.B. Dakota’s departure.C. Her defending the country.D. Dakota’s renting a movie.23.Why did the author mention Madeline?A.To explain the course of applying for a loan.B.To admire Madeline’s growing up.C.To stress the importance of a credit card.D.To praise Madeline for her hard work.24.What might be the bets title for the passage?A.I will be 18 in two years.B. I can’t learn like my friends.C. Will “18” make you an adult?D. I don’t want to grow up yet.BUS poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind.”To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the author and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts letus connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.But in the age of artificial intelligence(AI人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems by using algorithms(算法）.In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.By launching the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines---and be able to identify what makes us human.Unstableness(易变性）is part of the answer. “The human [mind] is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his TedX Sydney speech, “Rather, it is something that’s constructed with our opinions and something that changes over time.”A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and emotions across a human poet could. In fact, current AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted. “The computer works like a mirror that reflects any idea of a human that developers teach it.”So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?Man vs machineTake a look at the two poems below. Can you guess which one was written by acomputer?Poem ADollars of sandIn my handWorth nothing moreThan Frisbee(飞盘）of man.Poem BBig, small seashells quietly fight a lively, sunny tuna(金枪鱼）Never command a sailorThe captain travels like a misty seashellAll whales view rough, clear wavesANSWER: Poem B was written by a computer.25.What’s the purpose of the first three paragraphs?A.To introduce the origin of World Poetry Day.B.To show the popularity of poetry around the world.C.To show the importance and beauty of poetry.D.To give some tips on appreciating poetry.26.What did the data from “bot or not” show?puters are better than humans at writing poetry.puters can also produce poems of high quality.C.Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.27.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?A.We value emotions over facts.B. We have changing opinions.C, We are stable in what we do. D. We often make mistakes.28.Why can’t computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?A.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.B.They can’t create poems that make sense.C.They can’t express emotions as well as humans.D.They only know how to copy existing poems.三、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。

A team gets better. A kid practises more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2019 ， two things happened that got me thinking about change — in sports and in life.One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi ， who retired in 2019. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles ， including eight major championships. Buthis greatest accomplishment( 成就 ) might have been how much he changedduring his career.When he was young ， Agassi was a show -off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard ， but he won matches because of his tremendous(极大的 )talent. Eventually ， though， injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world rankings to No.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world -class player again.More importantly ， he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents(敌手 ). He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Association ， he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas ， Nevada. He even started a第1页/共4页school， the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy ， for at -risk kids.At the start of a new year ， lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape ， do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: it wasn't easy ， but he changed， and changed for the better.1.According to the writer ， which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?A.He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.B.He won 60 titles.C.He changed much during his career.D.He won 8 major championships.2.What does the underlined word “ vow ” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A.Promise.B.Agree.C.Become.D.Prove.3.What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Association?A.It is intended to help at -risk kids.B.It is a charity school set up by Agassi.C.Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.D.Agassi runs it with his prize money.4.What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?A.What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.B.How we can change for the better.C.Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.D.Some assessments(评论 ) about Agassi from different people.Ⅰ.完形填空I am a girl ， but I was born to be a rebel(反叛者).

高一英语限时训练九阅读理解AOn a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be a native.“Our generosity and hospitality(好客),” he replied in a strong local accent. “If your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that.” His answer rang in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves. We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike. Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking equipment stopped. They’d heard us discussing different routes, and then asked if we’d like suggestions. They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertis e.We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, “You have a car, right?” I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead.“Oh no,” she said, “you need a car.” And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewin g gum(口香糖), she said, “Take mine!” My husband and I just smiled in disbelief, dumbfounded.“Why not?” she insisted. “You need a car to get to know all these places.”“But you don’t even know us,” I said.“That doesn’t matter,” she continued wit h absolute determination.Surprised, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, “That’s Alma.”Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma’s car. We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautif ul island. But it wasn’t the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.

These groups are the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute, formerly the Soap and Detergent Association.There was good news in the latest study. Researchers found that eighty-five percent of adults washed their hands in public restrooms last moth. That was the most since the studies began in 1996. Researchers visited restrooms at a baseball park in Atlanta and a science museum and aquarium(水族馆) in Chicago. They also visited two train stations in New York City and a large farmers’market in San Francisco. In all, they observed about six thousand adults, with females and males equal in number.The researchers found that seventy-seven percent of men and ninety-three percent of women washed their hands. That was up from sixty-six percent of men and eighty-eight percent of women in the last study three years ago.The lowest rate of hand washing among men was at Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Only sixty-five percent of men washed their hands, compared to all but two percent of women. Chicago and San Francisco had the most hand washers—eighty-nine percent of adults. Atlanta followed at eighty-two percent. New York had the lowest rate, at seventy-nine percent of the adults observed at Grand Central Station and Penn Station.The findings of the observational study conflicted(不一致) with the findings of a separate telephone survey of about one thousand people. Ninety-six percent of them said they always washed their hands after using public restrooms.Almost nine out of ten also said they always washed after using the bathroom at home.Hand washing can help prevent the spread of many different infections.To clean your hands well, wet them first and rub in soap for at least twenty seconds, including between the fingers and under the nails. Then wash under running water. In a public restroom, if you dry your hands with a paper towel, you should also use the towel to shut off the water and open the door.Hand washing is also important when preparing food and after changing a baby’s diaper(尿布). You should also wash if you cough or sneeze into your hands.39. According to the latest study, about women washed their hands after using public bathroom.A. 2,310B. 1,980C. 2,790D. 2,64040.

But Compaq was forced to withdraw(收回)the offer when an important detail about Eisenherg was discovered: he was just 14. Two years later, Eisenberg now runs his own technical support company, F1 Comput er, “I might be interested in getting a job in a few years, after college,” he says. “But this is just right for me now.”Eisenberg is among an increasing number of teenagers who are running their own computer-related businesses--and, for the most part, being successful at it. "Many kids in suburban homes have grown up operating very powerful computers, so technology is second nature to them in a way that it's not to many adults," says Gene Depose, president of a high tech research firm based in New York.Danny Kalmick, the 14-year-old president of Kalmick & Co. Computing took his first step toward becoming a neighborhood computer expert at age 11, when he broke down his first PC (a 486/DX2) to inspect its motherboard (主板). When neighbors called him for computer advice a year later, Kalmick saw a business opportunity. So he printed up business cards, and took out an ad in a neighborhood telephone book. He now has about 10 regular clients, works 6 to 10 hours a week, and earns $ 20 an hour solving tech problems.Low prices are usually an advantage in the marketplace, but so is age. Many young business people argue: Kids aren't as frightening to work with as their more senior adults. “We're professional, of course, but we are just kids, and people feel like they can talk with us and ask us whatever they want without being embarrassed,” says Charles Ross, 18, vice president of a Web services company that develops marketing sites for local businesses. Ross runs the firm with his twin brother, James, and their friend Matthew Baylis, 17. “Beside, a lot of our clients tell us that they would rather work with us because we've grown up with the technology and have a solid handle on it.”43. The title of the passage “Mini Computer Capitalists" refers to ______.A. young computer business peopleB. new kinds of computer companiesC. expensive, high-tech inventionsD. very small high-speed computers44.

Compaq didn't want to hire himB. he wanted a very high salaryC. they thought he was too young for the jobD. he didn't have enough experience45. Most teenagers mentioned in the passage who run their own computer business are _____.A. famousB. successfulC. unsuccessfulD. inexperienced46.

The last paragraph mainly talks about _____.A. low prices are an advantage in the marketplaceB. young age is an advantage in the marketplaceC. people don't feel embarrassed when they consult teenagersD. teenagers grow up with computer technology任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,”said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year. International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is involved in testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late76. map 77.
