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·长春市第十一中学高三期中考试)“Inner beauty is the real beauty”， you might have heard this phrase a thousand times. However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty.1．Characteristics are importantSure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good­looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.2．Inner beauty is always admiredWhen anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty.3．Inner beauty is valuableA person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.4．Inner beauty is kindnessOuter beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, and generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are the most beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要从四个方面对“内在美是真正的美”进行了阐释。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)A[2016·广东揭阳一中检测]When traveling, it's important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider polite W1behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.●Etiquette of Gift GivingGift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky W2. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship breaks up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed a w ay P1—an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.●Eating CustomsBeing early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy W3in Venezuela. If you are in v ited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arri v e 10 minutes later than the requested time.S When having a meal in Egypt, don't use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends W4to the use of chopsticks. According to P2Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure W5food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it's the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won't be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.本文讲述的是去外国旅游时应注意的两种礼仪——送礼物和就餐礼仪。

Unit 18 Beauty高考一轮复习检测卷时间：100分钟满分：120分选择题部分第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ALife is not a beauty contest. We all focus on our imperfections (瑕疵). In fact, you should see yourself in a proper way. It's necessary for you to know that self-knowledge (自知之明) is the most important beauty secret.Don't hate yourself for wanting to be beautiful. Good-looking people get special treatment from strangers, employers and even their own mothers. We're not even close to our objective when it comes to judging our own looks. Other people see the whole package. But when we look in the mirror, we're likely to pay attention to imperfections. For example：That bump (凸起) on your friend's nose? It's her feature! It gives her character! But to you, that thing on your nose is completely ugly. Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.So if we can't trust the judgment of ourselves, or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts, we're left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances. The website “Hot or Not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge, had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000. But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.Everyone may pay too much attention to his or her own appearance, and at the same time worry about being criticized. If you are particularly attentive to your body, or if you feel uncomfortable in public, you are certainly hotter than you think. And we all have the ability to change how other people judge us without changing our looks. When you believe that you look good, others will see you in a more favorable way. Improve your impression from the inside. Understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance — and look better.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．We should focus on our advantages.B．Don't be cheated by others' praise.C．Judging oneself in a right way is important.D．It's unnecessary to know the meaning of beauty.2．What does the example in the second paragraph suggest?A．Good-looking people are more popular than ordinary ones.B．Some bad-looking people are afraid to look in the mirror.C．Some people judge one by his appearance simply.D．Sometimes we make our own imperfections bigger.3．“Hot or Not”．A．is a website which allows others to comment on your character B．can't change your ideas completely unless you're confidentC．is a good way to make friends and makes you popular onlineD．can satisfy one's curiosity about others' secrets4．From the last paragraph we can learn ．A．changing our looks can make us more attractiveB．people shouldn't care about their own disadvantagesC．we can make ourselves more beautiful in the mindD．it's useless to pay attention to your appearanceBChain of LoveOne day a man saw an old lady, stranded (使搁浅) on the side of the road. Despite the dim (昏暗的) light, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out.Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He said，“I'm here to help you, ma'am. By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”The car had broken down but it was easily fixed. As he was tightening up the screws (螺丝) on the door, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk (后备箱). The lady asked how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed.A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase.The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude when she served her.The lady finished her meal, and paid with a hundred dollar bill. Thewaitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be.There was a note on the napkin (餐巾)：“You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: do not let this chain of love end with you.”Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.5．Why was the old lady worried when the man offered help?A．Because the man looked like a bad guy.B．Because she didn't trust anybody.C．Because she thought the man was going to overcharge her.D．Because she had no money with her.6．How did the man ask the old lady to thank him?A．He said she could pay him back next time she met him.B．He didn't ask her to do anything.C．He asked her to help people in need.D．He charged her the exact money.7．What does the author intend to tell us with this story?A．Helping others is a great virtue.B．How to help others in an appropriate way.C．Don't judge people by their appearance.D．The best way to pay back kindness is to pass it on.CWhat kind of job do you want to do in the future? One that earns the most money or one that gives you the highest social status? What about a job that makes you feel happy? Surprisingly, these three things do notalways go together in the job world.According to a general social survey released in this month by the National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago in the US, the ten happiest jobs are not those with better pay or higher social status. They are ordinary jobs.But what is it that makes a “happy” job?Researchers found that people are happier when they feel they are doing something worthwhile. Six of the top ten happiest jobs are based heavily on helping others, such as firefighters, teachers, and physical therapists (理疗师)．Being able to express oneself is also important for people to feel satisfied. Take authors as an example. Their pay is “ridiculously (可笑地) low or non-existe nt”，but “the autonomy (自主权) of writing down the contents of your own mind” leads to happiness, wrote business author Steve Denning on his blog on Forbes. com.These jobs form a sharp contrast (对比) with the top ten “hated jobs” released by career website Career Bliss earlier this year. Director of information technology, product manager, technical specialist and others that are generally considered respectable jobs are on the list.Todd May from The New York Times didn't find the results strange. He argued that “a meaningful life must, in some sense then, [make people] feel worthwhile”. If a person doesn't participate in the causes “that are generally defined as worthy, like feeding and clothing the poor”，their life will lack meaning, he said. Work takes up the greater part of most people's lives. It's no wonder that the people with the most worthwhile jobs are happiest of all.However, it's important to remember that these two surveys are broad ones. It doesn't matter whether your dream job is on two of thelists. Now is the time to think about the future. After all, something that satisfies your mind will always bring you happiness.8.The survey by the National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago suggested that the happiest jobs are those that .A．earn the most moneyB．have a high social statusC．promise a quiet and trouble-free lifeD．are related to helping people9．Which of the following statements might Steve Denning agree with?A．Everyone can become a good writer.B．Writers should not expect to be well paid.C．Writers should take pride in their ability to express themselves freely.D．Most writers are satisfied with their work.10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A．It is wise for people to choose their career from the list of the top ten most fulfilling jobs.B．People with respectable jobs usually don't feel happy.C．People should find jobs that they think are worthwhile.D．People shouldn't put much of their time into work unless it is worthwhile.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 18 Beauty(35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·天津卷)Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it,now hangs on a wall i n my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?A

be too beautiful?It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology.Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—o r does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings,social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level,beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环)around it;we see that someone has one good quality,and by association,our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts,a pleasing appearance can work its magic.Attractive criminals are li kely to get less strict sentences,or to escape punishment entirely;attractive plaintiffs(原告),meanwhile,are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements.“It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walke r.But if beauty pays in most circumstances,there are still situations where it can have opposite results.While attractive men may be considered better leaders,for instance,hidden sexist prejudices(偏见)can work against attractive women,making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power.And as you might expect,good-looking people of both sexes run into envy—one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex,they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly,being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care.We tend to link good looks to health,meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking.When treating people for pain,for instance,doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place.One study in 1975,for instance,found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway—perhaps as a mark of respect,but still making interaction moredistant.“Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space—but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” saysFrevert.Interestingly,the online dating website recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.Ultimately,Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance canitself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety—even for those already blessed with good looks.“If you are crazy about attractiveness,it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says.It’s an outdated saying,but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality.As the writer Dorothy Parker put it soelegantly:“Beauty is only skin deep,but ugly goes clean to the bone.”6.From Paragraph 1,we can learn that .A.some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB.most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC.we might always dream about being bothered by othersD.being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone7.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A.An attractive plaintiff has more chances to get away with punishment.B.Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C.Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D.Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.8.What can be inferred from OKCupid’s finding?A.People with perfect pictures will find dates sooner or later.B.Less attractive women are lonely because of their appearances.C.We may feel more excited to approach those with attractive appearances.D.Don’t use perfect pictures when trying to find dates online.9.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Negative Sides of BeautyB.Sexist
