山西省2012高考英语二轮复习专题训练:阅读理解(44)阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
ASince many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious(好奇的) to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures it’s very imp ortant for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take .The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework In large universities graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you ’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, pepople who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do1. The main purpose of this text is___A. to help the students to learn about university lifeB. to persuade the students to attend lecturesC. to encourage the students to take part in discussionD.to advise the students to choose proper majors2. We can learn from the passage that university professors___A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week.B. must join the students in the discussion sectionsC. prefer to use textbooks in their lecturesD. require the students to read beyond the textbooks3. A discussion section does NOT include___.A. working under the guidance of university professorsB. talking over what the students have read about the coursesC. discuss the problems related t o the students’ homeworkD. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture4. Why is it important to write down what the professor said in the lectures?A .because it is very importantB .because there is different information from the textbooksC .because the information in the lecture is very importantD. because they can get good informationBPassport Control(护照验证处)If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not Britain or a citizen of the European Community(欧共体),you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.After landing, follow the ARRIV ALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports, and a second channel marked ―Other Passports‖.Baggage Reclaim Area(取行李处)After passing through the Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to the Customs.CustomsAll passengers must pass Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels: Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowance(免税限额)or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowance can found on special notice – boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Y ou should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not. Please note that if you go through the Green Channel, you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.5.All passengers arriving at Heathrow from outside Britain .A.must go through either Passport Control or CustomB.must go through Customs, but not Passport ControlC.must go through Passport Control and CustomsD.don’t have to be examined6.The underlined word ―transferring‖ means.A.exchanging B.switching C.replacing D.turning7.At Heathrow when reaching Passport Control, , .A.all passengers go though the same channelB.passengers of the European Community and those from other countries go through different channelsC.British people and passengers from other countries go through different channelsD.All European passengers go through the channel8.If you have duty free goods, .A.you don’t have to go through the Green ChannelB.you may go through the Green ChannelC.you must go through the Red ChannelD.you should go through both Green and Red ChannelCBeijing audience can view five new South Korean films, all with Chinese subtitles(中TwoLocation: Tuixin Cinema, National Library,39 Baishiqiao Road, Haidian District, Beijing―April 15: 9:00 13:30, 15:15, 17:30, 19:30―April16: 9:00. 13:30,―April17: 13:30,―April19: 9:00. 13:30, 15:30,17:30, 19:30HongTickets: 60,90,120,180 yuan RMB, availableAddress: Shanghai Gymnasium, 1111 Gaoxi Road N.Tel:29189188,29171145,49384952,29197113The Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra will put on some excellent Russian choralTickets: 6,8,10,12yuan RMB, available at the hallAddress: 532 YTel: 322756694The Song and Dance Troupe of the Republic of Korea will give a song and dance showTicket: 10,20,30 yuan RMB, available at the theatreAddress: 1376 Nanjing Road W., ShanghaiTel: 297986639.___________will be on April 15.

Erosion occurs if a largearea of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers. The rain and winds may gradually wash away, or blow away, much of the topsoil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert.In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty. Soon some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world, government began to try to stop erosion.One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and had farming in this area had ruined(毁坏)land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.At the beginning, the farmers were not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods where used. Ten years after the extremely prosperous, the great success of this experiment had led similar projects in the other parts of the world.13.The word ―erosion‖ in the first paragraph means _______.A.the clearing of trees B.excessive(极度)use of the landC.the destruction of crops D.gradual loss of topsoil14.The passage tells us that erosion is a problem which .A.first began in the United States in 1933B.occurs mainly in river areasC.affects many parts of the worldD.is becoming more and more serious15.In the second paragraph, ―to sink into poverty‖ means.A.to lose topsoil in erosionB.to become weaker and weaker until nothing grows wellC.to become very poorD.to turn into a desert16.The main purpose of this passage is to tell people .A.how erosion occursB.the importance of using new farming methodsC.something can be done to prevent erosionD.the serious outcomes(后果)of erosionEThe central government will pour billions of yuan into special projects to help meet the country’s energy-saving targets. Local officials are also about to come under increased pressure to toe the government line to meet the targets, otherwise their political futures could be in jeopardy.A top official from the National Development and Reform Commission reaffirmed China’s commitment to cutting energy use and emissions when making a report to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress yesterday.―We’re facing a very vital situation to cut energy use,‖ Ma Kai, the NDRC minister said. ―If we don’t fasten our pace, it will be difficult to meet the targets this year.‖Ma said the central government would also issue compulsory energy consumption standards for 22 products such as steel, cement, caustic soda and thermal power by the end of the year. NDRC figures show that the country’s energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) dropped 2.78 percent in the first six months from the same period a year earlier. However, the government has set the target of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20 percent between 2006 and 2010, about an annual fall of 4 percent. But it fell only 1.33 perc ent last year from 2005. In addition, official figures also show that SO2 emissions dropped 0.88 percent to 12.63 million tons in the first half of the year.The minister blamed some local officials for dragging the rest of the country down in not meeting the targets. He said the assessment of officials in many places still focused too much on their performance in economic growth, and many cities and counties still lacked concrete plans tocut energy consumption. Ma said we had paid too much to economic growth and serious consequences are revealing themselves.17. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means ―________________‖.A. their families would be healthyB. their futures would be brightC. their futures would be in dangerD. their jobs would be necessary18. The Chinese government will pour billions of yuan into special projects to _____ .A. help reduce energy use and emissionsB. enlarge investmentC. improve the living conditionsD. balance the income between the poor and the rich19. From the passage, we can infer that _______________.A. the government only focused on the economic growthB. some local officials could have done more for cutting energy use and emissionsC. some local officials would not focus on the economic growthD. SO2 emissions increased in the first half of the year20. What caused the government to face a very vital situation to cut energy use?A. The assessment of officials.B. The central government would not issue energy consumption standards.C. Many cities and counties still lacked concrete plans to cut energy consumption.D. A and C.1—20 ADAB CBBB DCBA DCCC CABD。

Until 2017, the Emperor penguin was listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but as of 2018, they are listed as Near-Threatened because they are predicted to suffer a moderately rapid population decline over the next three generations owing to the effects of climate change. The number one threat to their survival is global warming. H ere’s how it has affected Emperor penguins and what we should do.A decrease in the amount of sea ice formation, which is caused by climate change, impacts the future of the Emperor penguin. Many Emperor penguins breed on ice shelves that only form during the Antarctic winter. There have been times in recent years when the ice shelves have melted back faster or sooner than usual. Many of the chicks haven’t completely fledged (长出飞羽) into their waterproof feathers by the time the ice melts back to their habitats, and they are forced into the cold ocean waters, where they die of cold exposure or drowning.One thing that less sea ice definitely affects is food for the penguins. One of their food sources is krill (磷虾), and the sea-ice shelves serve as a nursery for the krill. The newly-born krill feed on the algae (水藻) that grow on the underside of the sea ice. When there is less sea ice, there is less algae for the krill to feed on, and consequently less krill is produced.Measures should be taken to protect these animals. People can donate to organizations that are working to protect Emperor penguins and other penguin species, and our oceans in general. Reducing your impact on the environment, in particular, is something you can do—you can make these tiny changes to lower your carbon footprint every day. You can also be mindful about reducing seafood consumption and eating sustainably caught seafood, as overfishing is the second greatest threat to nearly every penguin species today. Also, avoid using supplements and otherproducts that contain krill or krill oil.(D)读后续写阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
专题限时训练(二十一)[社会生活型阅读理解(二)](限时:25分钟)AIncreased use of the Internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils' capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar.Cranfield School of Management found almost 6 in 10 schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism (剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised fresh concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, Professor of International Management Development at Cranfield, said, ‚Our rese arch shows that technology obsession prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning.‚Despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.‛The report revealed that socalled ‚textspeak‛was increasingly finding it was into pupils' school work.3 in 10 students admit to using text message short cuts, such as ‚r u ok‛ in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils' writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as ‚innit‛and ‚Gr8‛ were re gularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their phones in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.1. The underlined word ‚undermining‛in the first paragraph can best be replaced by ‚________‛.A.determiningB.keepingC.weakeningD.increasing2. It can be inferred from what Kakabadse said that ________.A.he is in favour of students' mobile phone usage at schoolB.he believes schools are responsible for technology obsessionC.the research finds a new way to improve school managementD.it is hard to limit students' mobile phone usage at school3. What can we learn from the passage?A.Most students' writing skills are becoming worse.B.Text message language may affect pupils' language skills.C.Students like to invent new words in their writing.D.30% of pupils often send text messages when studying.4. The passage is mainly about ________.A.the negative effect of technology on students' studyB.technology's positive influence on students' achievementC.the importance of online social communicationD.the rapidly growing role of communication technologies5. What's the attitude of the author to the problem?A.Optimistic.B.Approving.C.Anxious.D.Tolerant.BAn ‚apple polisher‛is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are ‚apple polishers‛,including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as ‚applepolishing‛—‚s oftsoaping‛ or ‚butteringup‛. A gift is just one way to ‚softsoap‛ somebody, or to ‚butter him up‛. Another th at is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and satdown. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.1. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with ‚applepolishing‛?A.A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.B.An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.C.A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.D.A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.2. What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell's example?A.Everybody can be an ‚applepolisher‛.B.Cromwell was not a good ‚applepolisher‛.C.George Fox and his party were not ‚applepolishers‛.D.There are people who don't like being ‚applepolished‛.3. Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author?A.Too much flattery can carry us away.B.Flattery is too empty to do people any good.C.Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.D.Flattery is one of the ways to applepolish people.4. Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?A.Because he was sick of his normal life.B.Because he disliked being overpraised any more.C.Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.D.Because he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.5. Who does the author think that flattery can do good to?A.Those who are politicians or in high offices.B.Those who lack confidence.C.Those who are really excellent.D.Those who think highly of themselves.COver 70 per cent of the ‚dou ble singlechild couples‛ in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey.Women of China magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the ‚singlechild‛generation, the Morning Post reports. The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4,000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 per cent have kids.Results show that 71.9 per cent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids.Grown up as the ‚singlechild‛,the only child in a family since the family planning policy which was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents.The parent s of the ‚singlechild‛ generation focused more on theirchildren's physical wellbeing rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists.The research also found that the ‚double singlechild couples‛follow a rather traditional value system.Survey shows that 27.5 per cent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 per cent two to five years, and 20 per cent didn't tie the knot until dating for five years. Also, 30 per cent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 per cent were introduced by someone.Since their marriage is based on enduring relationships, 65.2 per cent of the husbands and 62.9 per cent of the wives think that compromise(妥协)and tolerance(宽容) are necessary in their marriage. Meanwhile, 21.7 per cent of the husbands and 37.1 per cent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage.1. The best title for the passage should be ‚________‛.A.Mum and Dad, take care of my kid pleaseB.Double singlechild couplesC.The problem of the single childD.A recent survey by Women of China2. Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?A.The majority of the ‚double singlechild couples‛ in China depend much on their parents.B.The parents of the ‚singlechild‛generation cared more about their study and education.C.Onefifth of the couples surveyed didn't get married until dating for five years.D.All the couples surveyed have university education and 30 per cent of them were schoolmates.3. Which of the following descriptions about ‚double singlechild couples‛is TRUE?A.They are single children in either family and they are independent on their parents.B.They are single children in either family and they are dependent on their parents.C.They have at least two children and can afford to support themselves.D.They, who were introduced by someone, follow a rather traditional value system.4. The traditional value system mentioned in the passage refers that________.A.parents are concerned about their children's physical life as well as the spiritual lifeB.most couples were introduced by someone and made dating for a long time C.once begun, ‚double singlechild couples‛ marriage will last foreve rD.the couples think that compromise and tolerance are necessary in their marriage5.

AA programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.The programmer persists and explains that the game is really easy and has a lot of fun. He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep.The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!” This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.The programmer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it’s the engineer’s turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with th ree legs, and comes down on four?” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so what’s the answer?” Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away and goes back to sleep.1. What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Boring ConversationB. A Fun GameC. A Trick During The FlightD. A Question Without Answer2. What’s the meaning of the underlined work “agitated”?A. Angry.B. Excited.C. Surprised.D. Curious.3. What kind of person is the programmer according to what he said?A. Confident.B. Selfish.C. Greedy.D. Generous.4. What can we infer according to the last sentence?A. The engineer has little money with him.B. Actually the engineer doesn’t know the answer, either.C. The engineer is bored with programmer.D. The engineer beats the programmer at last.5. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. In the beginning the engineer is not interested in the game.B. The engineer is too sleepy to want to play the game.C. At last the engineer gains $45 from the programmer.D. Nobody knows the answer to the engineer’s question.BRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that justdoes not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.6. We can know from the passage that the author works as ________.A. a doctorB. a modelC. a teacherD. a reporter7. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to ________.A. marry a better man\womanB. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-huntD. attract more admirers8. According to the passage, the author believes that ________.A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. it is one’s appearance instead of skill s that really matters in one’s careerD. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery9. What does the author think of his height?A. He hates to be called a short man.B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.C. He just accepts it as it is.D. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.10. The best title for the passage should be “________”.A. Young Graduates Have Higher ExpectationB. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better JobsC. Young Graduates’ Opinion About Cosmetic SurgeryD. Young Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-huntCThe day my fiancé fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadn’t fallen out ofmy world when he fell off the roof. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up.One morning, I shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good Samaritans would not see me. I was mortified. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someone’s walk.Before Jon’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by my competence and independence. How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried because I couldn’t even help them set the table. “I’m not usually this lazy,” I swept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, “Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”Over and over, I heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”In many ways I have changed for the better.

A robotic attendant sometimes is disappointing(disappoint) in its management of unexpected situations.4. The limitation(limit) of a robotic attendant lies in its incompetence (competence) in unexpected situations.5. A robotic attendant is lacking(lack) in intelligence to handle unexpected situations.III.F rom Sentences to Paragraphs1.Directions: With the words given in the box for your reference, writea paragraph highlighting the contrast between a robotic librarian and arobotic attendant. Please focus on one area (working efficiency, range of service etc.)A robotic librarian has an edge in doing some repetitive work like categorizing, locating and registering books. It also distinguishes itself in making personalized reading recommendation to library visitors. By comparison, a robotic attendant in the school canteen can do nothing more than take orders and calculate prices. Its disadvantage is quite obvious in offering limited range of services.2.Directions: Fill in a sentence to make the argument solid.In terms of working efficiency, a robot stands out with its amazing speed of processing information. With the standard barcodes pasted on each book, it can scan all the information at lightning speed. School canteen, by contrast, is not an information center as a library is. It is a place where unexpected situations may occur.Students may make some odd inquiries that programmed robots can’t handle.The weakness of robots is thus exposed.Working hours is another major concern. Students check in and out books in a large number. Books keep being piled there. A robot is well-known for its inexhaustible energy. Once charged, it can worknonstop for a long time. Things are different in a canteen. If placed there, a robot can a robot can serve students only during dining hours. Therefore, the higher usage in the library adds to its appeal in the library.IV.Assignments1.Please write a beginning and an ending for the essay discussed in class.答案略2.Guided Writing 答案略Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.上海博物馆拟举办一次名画展,现就展出场所(博物馆还是社区图书馆)征集公众意见,假设你是王敏,给上海博物馆写一封信表达你的想法。

B.A pavilion painted in green.C.A pavilion with more sunshine. D.A pavilion with cleaner air.BInternational travel is no longer the only right of the rich. Over the next several decades, hundreds of millions of new entrants(加入者)to the middle class will want not only the things-but also the experiences-that money can buy.Indian call-center employers, Russian engineers, Chinese middle managers, and Brazilian salespeople are already searching the web for information on trips. They want to see Paris from the Eiffel Tower, relax in the Maldives, and play blackjack in Las Vegas. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, international tourist visits are expected to double soon, from roughly 800 million in 2008 to 1.6 billion by 2020. However, only so many people can visit a particular building or beach in a given year. Where will all the other tourists go? This skyrocketing demand for travel will lead to a “scarcity of place” and to three probable market responses: First, most tourism-related prices, such as hotel room rates in popular cities, will continue toescalate as demand outstrips supply. Second, people’s waiting to visit certain places will become commonplace. Finally, surprising prices and decade4-long waiting lists will cause the creation and expansion of tourist attractions in both developed and developing countries.4.What is mainly talked about in passage?A.Wealthy people’s wish for travel.B.Middle class people in different counties.C.Problems of international travel in the future.D.The way to search the web for travel information.5.We know from the passage that Brazilian salespeople .A.are rich people B.belong to middle classC.like travel most D.use the Internet often6.The underlined word “scarcity” probably means .A.growth B.supply C.popularity D.shortage7.It can be inferred that in the future .A.people will develop more tourist attractionsB.more people will travel by rocketC.the number of the tourists will reduceD.hotel room rates will rise everywhereCThere’s a widespread perception(观念)in the United States that a university degree is the key to success. But a growing number of educators now say there are other possibilities, especially for students who might not succeed at the university level.This is not a traditional classroom. At the apprentice (学徒)program run by the Plumbers and Steamfitters Union in the state of Maryland, Travis Strawderman and other students make money while they learn. “It’s completely changed my life around,” he said. “I’ve been able to pay off all my debts. I can say I’m actually responsible enough to have my own family.”Strawderman’s five-year program teaches him technical skills free of charge. He says he considered university, but it didn’t interest him. Economics Professor Robert Lerman says Strawderman is not alone. “A lot of people are bored in high school,” Lerman stated. “They leavehigh school because they are bored. They want to do something besides sitting in a classroom.”Lerman says the education system in the United States is too focused on pushing students to attend university. “What we’re doing now is we’re saying unless you learn in this way you don’t really have the chance for a rewarding career,” he said.But Chad Aldeman, an analyst, says studies show the longer students stay in school the better chance they have at having a high paying and stable career. “If you only are a high school graduate your wages are going to drop over you Lifetime-as opposed to a college degree,” he said. “The college is really an insurance policy against unemployment and against low wages”. 8.Where does Travis Strawdeman learn?A.In a university. B.In a traditional classroom.C.At an apprentice program. D.In a high school.9.What can we infer from the passage?A.Robert and Chad have different opinions.B.Professor Lerman teaches Travis technical skills.C.Travis will have a high paying and stable career.D.Travis liked high school and studied well.10.Which might be the best title for the passage?A.New education programmesB.A University degree, key to success or notC.Problems in high schoolD.An insurance policy against low wagesDMost kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1986, Congress chose the rose as American’s national flower. Technically, Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared it the “national floral emblem(国花).” Whatever the name, the decision did not smell sweet to supporters of other popular flowers.Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. You should plant your roses where they can getsunshine for about six hours on bright days. You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses, also known as container roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans.Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, an expert, points out that bare-root roses come without soil. So they weigh less to transport.Another expert advises getting bare-root roses as close to planting time as you can.. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning.But do not water too much. People often ask Jeffrey Dinslage about unhealthy discoloration on rose leaves. He says the spots are usually caused by too much water. After heavy rains or too much watering, he advises pulling away mulch, the substance used to protect the roots, to improve the quality of the soil, temporarily from around the roots. This will help dry the soil. 11.From the first paragraph, we know that in the United States .A.all the people like rosesB.there are a lot of national flowersC.some roses don' t smell sweetD.there are some other popular flowers12.How many kinds of roses can you buy according to the passage?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Six.13.Why does Jeffrey Dinslage suggest planting bare – root roses?A.They are easier to plant.B.Their roots develop better.C.They are cheap to transport.D.Their leaves need no water.14.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moist”?A.Slightly wet. B.Pretty dry.C.Too hard. D.Lightly soft.15.According to Jeffrey Dinslage, people should to avoid the sports on rose leaves.A.not water roses in the morning B.protect the roots of roses C.improve the quality of the soil D.not water roses very much1—15 BCACB DACAB DBCAD。

AJoyce Yuan and her host familyAs I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!Just imagine wearing short sleeves or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!Before the vocation started, we had a little episode at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt easy and amused. It was just because of the decorations on my pants and the tinfoil(锡纸) around my host mom’ chewing gum! -Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking up and hardly slept at all.Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm-hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked brown and full of energy!1. According to the passage, the reason why we were taken away to have further checks wasthat___________.A. my pants and my host mom’s chewing gumB. we carried some things that are not permittedC. they considered us to be thievesD. we had not passports with us2.During the travel, the author experienced the following things for the first timeEXCEPT_________.A. sharing a room with a 4-year-old girlB. going boatingC. seeing manatees and dolphins with her own eyesD. taking a plane3.According to the passage, how many people went to Florida for traveling with the authortogether?A. SevenB. EightC. We don’t know itD. Nine4. From the passage, we can infer that the author felt the vacation was_____.A. frighteningB. amazingC. memorableD. challengingBBUNOL, Spain (AFP)—Tens of thousands of people from around the world threw tons of ripe tomatoes at each other in an annual food fight that painted the eastern Spanish town of Bunol red.More than 40,000 people, including many visitors from Australia, Britain and the United States, took part in the food fight known as the “Tomatina”, now in its 64th year, a spokeswoman for Bunol’s town hall said.They were provided with over 100 tons of tomatoes by the town council for the battle which lasted about one hour and left participants covered in red.Many men were shirtless while others wore old clothes, hardhats, goggles or protective plastic sheets.Shopkeepers put up huge plastic covers on their store fronts or boarded them up to protect their properties from the sea of red mush (糊状物).After the battle, governmental workers and local residents used “giant hoses” to clear the walls and streets of the tomato pulp in just half an hour while the participants headed to a nearby river where temporary showers were set up.The event cost the town of some l0,000 residents 40,000 dollars, Spanish media reported.The “Tomatina”is held each year in Bunol, located in a fertile (富饶的) region about 40 kilometres north of the coastal city of Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, on the last Wednesday in August.The origins of the event are unclear although it is thought to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends in the mid-1940s in the city.It has grown in size as international press coverage brought more and more people to the festival.5. To keep their stores safe, the shopkeepers _____.A. kept their store fronts coveredB. hung plastic sheets on the wallsC. closed all the doors and windowsD. stopped people throwing at them6.

If you plan to travel with your kid who is a fan of Shakespeare, you would choose _____.A. Stonehenge Direct TourB. Stonehenge, Bath and Stratford TouC. Stonehenge, Windsor and Oxford TourD. Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor Castle TourDIn the computer age, most of us take a broadband Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today’s c onnections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.There’s a catch, of course: You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t, it’s slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all.Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the diff iculty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs, it’s relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere.Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.Still, the “last mil e” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If therapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication (迹象), it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.13. The underlined part “a catch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “_____”.A. a rare challengeB. a desirable planC. an efficient deviceD. a hidden problem14. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Internet connection has not been popular in most cities.B. Internet service providers care about rural customers.C. Computer is popular in developing countries.D. It is hard to bring Internet access to users in remote areas.15. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements _____.A. make TV and telephone available everywhereB. bring great change to people’s everyday lifeC. make it possible for more people to use the InternetD. bring faster Internet connections to users16. What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?A. The broadband connection’s getting faster.B. More and more Internet users.C. more and more Internet connections.D The rapid progress in cell phone technology.EMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum.The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes –they are failing because the academic classes are not sufficient.It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well- rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art –there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge – certainly not a good preparation for the real world.17. Music and drama are not included in the high- school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important18. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery testB. Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’ s school systemC. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessonsD. The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts19. We can learn that music and art can ______.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduating from high school20. The best title of the passage can be ______.A. Who K illed Music and Drama?B. Can Curriculum Go Without Music?C. Why is Music So Important?D. How To Prepare For the Real World?1—20 ADACA CBDBA DBDDC DBBAB。
专题1.2 高考阅读理解记叙文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。
一、考情分析语篇阅读能力一直是高考英语的考查重点,因此阅读理解是高考英语试卷最重要的内容之一。
阅读理解和七选五在高考卷中分值达50分左右,是决定学生高考英语成绩的一个重要题型。
高考中的阅读理解按照文章体裁通常可以划分为应用文、说明文、记叙文和议论文。
文体不同,语篇结构、语言特点和阅读策略也各有差异。
在各类文体中,记叙文占了很大比重。
记叙文是一种以记叙为主要表达方式的文章体裁,分为写人的记叙文和叙事的记叙文,人不离事,事不离人,但写作对象和写作目的有区别。
写人的记叙文以人为写作对象,表现人物的品质特点,而叙事的记叙文以事件为记叙对象,揭示事件对人、对社会的思想意义。
本文将结合近几年高考试题,阐述记叙文阅读理解的命题特点和解题策略。
