语鹅市安置阳光实验学校阅读理解九月选练（1）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AEvery time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals. All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.We don’t know whether the Barcelona s triker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times. Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina. Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for hi s country have been severely disappointing.While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.21. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccercareer?A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.B. He must win the tournament a few more times.C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.22. How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup?A. Excellent.B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing.D. Normal.23. What can we infer from the passage?A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.24. What is the best title of the passage?A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All TimeB. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in HistoryC. Barcelona and Lionel MessiD. World Cup and Lionel Messi参考答案21-24. ACBABPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journeyaway at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．25. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．A. help travelers pass timeB. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plansD. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation26．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________．A. a hotel away from the train stationB. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destinationD. the name of a travel agency27．The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________．A. lies on the ground floorB. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for touristsD. costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September28．Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________．A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours参考答案25-28 .DACACWhile students in Yinchuan are quite used to clear skies, Beijingteenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution.But things may start to improve soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel engines(柴油机)by 40 percent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them.“We encourage the development of public transports. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ”said an official.Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions(排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index(指数)gave just 100 days as good. “I am glad to see an improvement, ”said a senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in fog. ”In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French Air Force was called off.Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city’s bad air.29. The passage is mainly about .A. a programme aiming at improving Beijing’s air qualityB. progress made in Be ijing’s air qualityC. Beijing’s air pollutionD. the differences between Yinchuan and Beijing30. Which of the following is NOT the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijing’s air quality?A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transports.B. Some factories have been asked to cut production.C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed.D. A display show of airplanes has been called off.31. We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological city, .A. far more still needs to be doneB. nothing else needs to be doneC. all traffic has to be closedD. the development of the city has to be slowed down32. Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?A. Beijing’s air quality is getting worse and worse.B. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality.C. People see clouds of smoke in the sky in the winter of Beijing.D. The government is making efforts to stop air pollution.参考答案29-32 CDAADEvery year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new y ear.

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。

More than 40 years ago，John Williams gave away all of his belongings and went off to the mountains to live the way people lived 100 years ago.For food he traps wild animals，fishes in the rivers，and plants whatever he can.John lives in a cabin he made by hand，out of trees he chopped down with an ax.Though he has no relatives he knows of，he does have a deer he raised from a fawn.The deer lives in the house in the winter and goes with John when he goes into the forest for food.Nobody lives within fifty miles of his cabin in the mountains and John has not been out of the mountains during the entire forty years.One day last year I hiked in to see how John lives.It was like going back in time.There were no roads，no stores，no noise，no pollution，not even a post office.Most notable of all，there were no people and that's just the way John Williams wants to keep his part of the world—without people.But there is a paradox in his story.John is an educated man.He has books and nobody knows how he got them.Mostly he reads about his world，the forest，the animals，the plants，and the mountains.He has seen airplanes flying overhead but does not want to know about them.For him，electricity is lightning，not light bulbs，refrigerators，televisions，or washing machines.John Williams is 85 years old and had not had a sick day in his life. He attributes his long life to the fact that it has nothing to do with people and in order that he might enjoy many more years of health，happiness，and solitude，I will not tell you where his kingdom lies.There is no room there for you or me.【文章大意】本文讲述了John Williams住进深山老林里四十多年里过着孤身一人的原始生活，并介绍了其生活的基本状况。

2019年山东青岛高三二模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、【来源】 2019年山东青岛高三二模（A篇）第21~23题6分(每题2分)The Great Wall, ChinaStretching over 21, 000 kilometers, the Great Wall was built to prevent invasions and has a history of more than 2, 000 years. UNESCO in February 2019 calls it uan absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.”But perfection isn't protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.Pamukkale，TurkeyPamukkale, which means "cotton castle" in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces （方解石阶地）with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaHome to 400 types of coral and 1, 500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.The Dead Sea, JordanAt 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able to float.But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water's edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.(1) Which are you required to visit without shoes?A. The Great Wall, China.B. Pamukkale, Turkey.C. Great Barrier Reef, Australia.D. The Dead Sea, Jordan.(2) Which of the following statements is true?A. Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.B. Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.C. Pollution and the heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.D. Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.(3) What do the above spots have in common?A. They are all famous endangered natural spots.B. They're damaged only from human activities.C. They all draw the attention of the governments.D. They're all seriously damaged.2、【来源】 2019年山东青岛高三二模（B篇）第24~27题8分(每题2分)Vijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States. He serves as first violinist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In that job, he often plays to large crowds, including many very rich people. When he is not performing, he organizes concerts for homeless people. 'They have reminded me why I became a musician, he said.Last week, Gupta was recognized for being a founder and the artistic director of Street Symphony. The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years. Gupta is among the 25 winners of the 2018 MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the "genius grant." Each winner will receive $625, 000 over five years to use as they wish. The money is coming from a private group, the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants （补助金）to people whose work it considers exceptional and that "inspires hope in us all." Gupta said he got the idea for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.The 31-year-old grant winner said he does not know yet how he will spend the money. He has been a performer since age seven and the award will give him "space to breathe, plan and look ahead.”Another winner is Rebecca Sandefur, an associate professor of sociology and law in the University of Illinois. The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the U.S. justice system.47-year-old Sandefur created the first national mapping of civil legal aid providers. It shows which states had the financial resources to provide such aid and which did not. She also found that the cost of legal services is only one of the things preventing poor people from getting lawyers. Among the others are fears about unfairness in the legal system. Sandefur noted that a lot of attention has been paid to problems with the criminal justice system, but more attention must be paid to the civil side of the law, which also affects millions of people.(1) Why did Gupta win the award?A. For his achievements in classical music.B. For performing for large crowds.C. For organizing a group playing for the homeless.D. For the friendship with Nathaniel Ayers.(2) What do we know about Mac Arthur Fellowship?A. It is founded by the government.B. It offers $625, 000 to 25 winners in 2018.C. It allows the winners to use the money freely.D. It awards people who make great contributions to society.(3) What was the extraordinary thing that Sandefiir did?A. She made it easier to get legal help for the poor.B. She made the legal system fairer.C. She paid more attention to the criminal justice system.D. She offered legal aids to the poor freely.(4) Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Grants winners, inspiring the poorB. The city homeless, in need of helpC. Vijay Gupta , an extraordinary violinistD. MacArthur Foundation, awarding exceptional work3、【来源】 2019年山东青岛高三二模（C篇）第28~31题8分(每题2分)Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels （刚性太阳能电池板）can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite （妈钛矿）can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable （可持续的）development manager for Skanska. TAL#NBSP Theywork perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day's worth of power for one worker's computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company's scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.(1) What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A. It's delicate.B. It's complex.C. It's flexible.D. It's expensive.(2) What does the underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?A. Skanska and Adam Targowski.B. Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C. Soleil Technologies.D. Perovskite panels.(3) What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B. Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C. Perovskite has been studied for decades.D. Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.(4) What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how to use perovskite panels.B. To introduce perovskite panels.C. To advertise a new solar power cell.D. To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells.4、【来源】 2019年山东青岛高三二模（D篇）第32~35题8分(每题2分)We've all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you know disagree with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long e-mail. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagreed with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder's study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder's team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive（抵触的） of their claims than when they read that communicator's same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech that was printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard the exact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward the politician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, the politician seemed TAL#NBSP idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a few doors down to their office. And that's exactly what you should do if you need to convince that boss or colleague of why your blue print for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over social media. Twitter's limited text allowance and social media users' short attention make arguing your point an uphill battle.(1) What's the result of the research?A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.B. People prefer to communicate with key board.C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D. Oral, not written, communication works better.(2) Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph 3?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D. To introduce the politician's speech.(3) What does the underlined word "idiotic" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Wise.B. Practical.C. Silly.D. Special.(4) What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B. It's difficult to fully explain your points due to social media's limitation.C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2019年山东青岛高三二模第36~40题10分(每题2分)2021年广东珠海香洲区珠海市第一中学高考模拟第5题12.5分2019年福建厦门思明区厦门外国语学校高三四模第36~40题10分Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist.1This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personallife.2—The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.About midway through the day, I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative, I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.3Even though I reminded myself of this truth, I couldn't make the change.As I stopped at a red light, I looked at the car in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye—It read "SUNZOUT". This brought an immediate smile to myface.4And in the midst of the longest, darkest, coldest winter, this in itself was a blessing. But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle. The license plate on that car read u GROUCH, \ This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud!

2021高考英语二轮总练习阅读理解精选〔10〕及解析AI'm fat, I'm too skinny．I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs．Do any of these statements sound familiar Are you used to putting yourself down If so, you' re not alone．As a teen, you're going through many changes in your body．And as your body changes, so does your image of yourself．Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect their self-esteem 〔自尊〕．If you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are．This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally．Developing these parts of yourself can help boost 〔提升〕yourself-esteem．A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle 〔such as exercising and eating right〕are a great combination for building good self-esteem．Some people think they need to change how they look oract to feel good about themselves．But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself．The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size or color it comes in．If you are very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to verify 〔核实〕that things are OK．But it is no one's business but your own what your body is like—ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself．Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can't．Everyone has things about themselves that they can't change and need to accept—like their height, for example, or their shoe size．When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop．Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three good things every day．By focusing on the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself．The most important thing is to get help if you feel like your body image and self-esteem are affecting your life．56．If we have a positive body image, we will_____．A．concentrate on our body image onlyB．not develop strong self-esteemC．like and accept ourselves as we areD．be less independent of our parents57．______ can NOT help to boost your self-esteem．A．Growing independent from your parentsB．Accepting your own body as it actually isC．Having a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyleD．Improving your body image as much as you can 58．To improve our body image, we have to _____．A．think about ourselvesB．be happy with ourselvesC．change the shape, size or color of one's bodyD．check with our doctor to verify that our body is OK 59．Which is probably the best title of the passage A．Importance of Body ImageB．Effects on a Person's Self-esteemC．Tips for Improving Body ImageD．Self-esteem and Body ImageB60．Where can we most probably read this textA．In a newspaper．B．In a magazine．C．In traveling guide．D．In a history textbook．61．The business hours of Cook's Cottage on Saturday in the summer are _____A．11:00 am—2:00 pm B．5:00 pm—10:30 pmC．9:00 am—5:30 pm D．9:00 am—5:00 pm．62．The Anchorage Restaurant is ____．A．in Williamstown B．in the center of the cityC．in Anchorage D．in Port Philip Bay63．Where can you spend the night in a tourA．Cook's Cottage．B．Sovereign Hill．C．Sydney Tower．D．Westfield Counterpoint．CIn an age dominated 〔控制旳〕by new media and the Internet, there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when, if we couldn't make it into a classroom, the only real option was to pick up a book, or when audiomaterials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic〔时有时无旳〕radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web, we have a whole new learning domain 〔统领〕at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button, and tests and assignments can be submitted 〔进展〕and marked online．Questions and learning, studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended 〔融合旳〕learning, an approach to education which seeks to combine the best of new technology and actual human contact．Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face 〔often abbreviated to F2F〕teaching, will achieve better results．For example, there are some aspects of study, like practical sessions, dealing with more subjective questions, or meeting the needs of an individual student, which require face-to-face human interaction, whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning,such as answers to clear-cut questions, can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example, in an ELT 〔English Language Teaching 〕environment, a simple scenario 〔剧情概要〕might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text．Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session, the teacher express his opinion about their work．64．What is the main idea of this passageA．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials,C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．65．Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students A．Practical sessions．B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．C．Dealing with more subjective questions．D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．66．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor qualityB．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadaysC．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the pastD．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days67．Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learningA．Critical．B．Objective 〔客观旳〕．C．Supportive．D．Neutral 〔中立旳〕．DBotany 〔植物学〕, the study of plants, occupies a particular position in the history of human knowledge．For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest 〔模糊旳〕〕of insights．It is impossible to know today justwhat our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient．This is logical．Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things even for other plants．They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food but also for clothing, tools, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes．Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each．To them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all．Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge grows．Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose or an apple．When nor Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer fields the next season—the first, great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken．Grains were discovered and fromthem flowed the wonder of agriculture: cultivated crops．From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild, and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience with plants in the wild would begin to fade away．68．What does the writer mean when he says "This is logical"in the first paragraphA．Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed．B．It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants．C．There is no clear way to determine the extent of our ancestor's knowledge of plant．D．It is reasonable to assume our ancestors behave much like people in pre-industrial societies．69．According to the passage, general knowledge of botany begun to fade away because ____．A．people no longer value plants as a useful resourceB．direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased C．botany is not recognized as a special branch of scienceD．research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants70．We learn that the first great step toward the practice of agriculture is____．A．the changing diets of early humansB．the development of a system of names for plantsC．the invention of agricultural implements 〔工具〕and machineryD．the discovery of certain grasses that could be harvested and replanted71．Human would depend on the controlled production of a few plants for living withA．the knowledge of plants B．the discovery of certain grassesC．the development of machinery D．the appearance of agricultureEIt has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents．The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar〔留下疤痕〕a child's personality and incline to emotional problems in later life．Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe this．But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion．Firstly, anthropologists 〔人类学家〕point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies．For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone．But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understand．Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it．But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects．The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be noticed by the use of statistics．Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would becertain to be complicated and controversial．Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children's development．But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue．72．This passage is mainly talking about________．A．children's personalityB．advantages of infants' early careC．infants' educationD．negative effect of infant school73．The phrase "day care in the first paragraph probably means_____.A．nursing school B．baby-sitter C．boarding school D．primary school74．According to Bowlby, children under the age of three______．A．should not be sent to schoolB．should be cared for outside the homeC．will not suffer fro m parental separationD．don't mind who will look after them75．The argument against Bowlby's conclusion shows that___．A．children have problems with day careB．there is no negative effect on infants who go to school before threeC．there is a long-term effect on infants who go to school before threeD．children who are sent to school before three are sent to mental

[1] The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.[2] Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.[3] The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.[4] Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ______. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.76. List three activities that might develop into addictions based on the text.(Please answer within 8 words.)(1) ___________________________ (2)___________________________(3)___________________________【答案解析】shopping, drinking, playing computer games, working, watching TV, taking drugs(答出其中三种即可，不根据原文回答者不得分)【备考策略】要注意审题，解答此题时要特别注意以下几点：1、题干要求列举三种活动，但是必须是以本文所提及的内容问基础的。

有时候，作者在最后一段提到一个话题，但是没有充分说明，因此需要在下一段就此问题深入分析、论述或讨论。

所以考生学会依据最后一段甚至最后一句话进行推断也不失为明智选择。

2. 从第一段入手。

实用类说明文往往采用“总分”或者“总分总”结构，即第一段总体概况说明，然后分段阐述。

因此只要考生把握好第一段即主题段内容，顺藤摸瓜，即可推断下段内容应该是主题段中尚未提及的内容。

【高考真题再练】1.（2023全国乙卷C篇）What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.28. What do people usually think of British food?A. It is simple and plain.B. It is rich in nutrition.C. It lacks authentic tastes.D. It deserves a high reputation.29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV?A. Authoritative.B. Creative.C. Profitable.D. Influential.30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?A. 20%.B. 24%.C. 25%.D. 33%.31. What might the author continue talking about?A. The art of cooking in other countries.B. Male chefs on TV programmes.C. Table manners in the UK.D. Studies of big eaters.【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。

阅读理解（五）1、More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he s aid.1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B.It is a time for relaxation.C.It is increasingly popular.D.It is required by universities.2.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He's puzzled.B.He's worried.C.He's surprised.D.He's annoyed.4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B.Make plans for the new term.C.Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduate studies.2、You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become cruel masters in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his websi te explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on’ culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace becausepeople have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr. Christine Grant.1.What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A.The popularity of smart phones.B.The progress of modern technology.C.The signs of “always on” stress.D.The cause of smart phone addiction.2.Kevin Holesh developed Moment to __________.A.research how people use their mobile phonesB.help people control their use of mobile phonesC.make people better use mobile phonesD.increase the fun of using mobile phones3.What’s Dr. Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?A.Confused.B.Positive.C.Doubtful.D.Critical.4.According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means __________.A.we will become less productiveB.we can make a decision more quicklyC.we will be equipped with more knowledgeD.we can work more effectively3、Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program thatbegan on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.1.We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A.learn to give lecturesB.attend education programsC.design a working uniformD.develop a common hobby2.Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A.focus on the profitsB.benefit from the jobC.protect themselves wellD.control their feeling well3.What can we infer from the passage?A.G&G has grown into a large company.B.G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C.G&G may become more successful in the future.D.G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.4 、There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.我Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.A.bring excitement to the consumersB.attract the consumers’ attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling3.“And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their health4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A.vegetable dishB.healthy juiceC.iced drinkD.red vegetable5、 That woman carried a new blanket (毛毯) over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.“Is it finished?” I asked. She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket. “It is beautiful, so skillfully woven (编织),” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo(纳瓦霍) village.”We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words.“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” my mother asked. “What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked. “Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The designs in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example —the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch (一针) missing.”I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enou gh a stitch was missing! “But why do the Navajo intentionally leave some tiny part unfinished?” I asked. “They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come —it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.”1.The blanket the author received_____ .A.was poorly woven.B.made her think a lot.C.cost her a lot of money.D.was finished, but not ready.2.Why was the author shown around the village?A.To buy more things made by the Navajo.B.To make friends with some of the Navajo.C.To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.D.To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.3.Which of the following may the Navajo believe?A.A stitch in time is very important.B.Life only becomes perfect when you die.C.He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.D.You must always try to make your life complete.4.What’s the main idea o f the text?A.The Navajo are good at making things.B.The Navajo are brave and hard-working.C.A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.D.Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.6、The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high-class men’s suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? It’s true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in factthey all look eccentric exactly in the same way. They are wearing a uniform. The only truly eccentric dresser in this country is the Queen, who pays no attention to fashion and continues to wear what she likes, a kind of 1950s fashion, with no regard for anyone else’s opinion. However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people are much more eccentric than any other nation’s street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and \ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously. But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor.

Most shoppers pack stores to buy things at a discount. For some, however, shopping is less of a pastime and more of an addiction. These people have compulsive(强迫性的) shopping disorder, a condition filled with debt and regret.While it's true that many lack money and credit management skills, what these shoppers are often looking for is a “buy high”,an emotional rush to put themselves in a better mood, found San Francisco State University researchers in 2013. These types of shoppers often hold materialistic values. When under stress, materialistic shoppers are more likely to shop compulsively.Rather than providing any social or emotional outlet(发泄出口),the extreme stress-induced purchases only increase anxiety and lower well-being, and materialistic shoppers already tend to have lower self-esteem than others to begin with.In fact, it’s exactly at low moments that materialistic shoppers are most likely to shop for expensive items, and they're more likely to make those purchases on credit. This of course can create a vicious cycle, in which a materialistic shoppers with low self-esteem buys a luxury item he or she cannot afford in an effort to improve sense of self. The financial burden can cause stress and strain relationships over the issue of money, further affecting the mood of the shopper and leading to more spending to try to regain a sense of self-worth.Symptoms of shopping addiction include constant thoughts about shopping, buying to improve the mood and inability to change behavior.There are treatment options for those with compulsive shopping disorder, which may include medication. Other recommendations include shopping with a friend, getting rid of credit cards and above all, developing meaningful hobbies.1.What do you learn about Black Friday?A.Many shops have special offers.B.Customers can enjoy leisure time.C.Shoppers can get free products.D.Shoppers spend much money on useless things.2.According to the passage, the extreme stress-induced purchases _____.A.provide an emotional outletB.make people more anxiousC.regain people’s confidenceD.improve management skills3.When are materialistic shoppers most likely to shop for expensive items?A.When they are delighted.B.When they are excited.C.When they are inspired.D.When they are depressed.4.According to the author, which of the following is the most important treatment option?A.Taking chemical medicine.B.Shopping with a friend.C.Developing meaningful hobbies.D.Getting rid of credit cards.8、The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings. Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city. In the mid-seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory (领地). They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did“writing”-the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s property it becomes a crime. “I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few. Jean-Michel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 80s. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils (模板), often making political or humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over £ 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1.Why was the seventies an important decade in the history of graffiti?A.That was when modern graffiti first appeared.B.That was when modern graffiti first became really popular.C.That was when graffiti first reached New York.D.That was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows2.What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?s of people who graffitied.B.Building where paints were sprayed.C.People who marked surface with graffiti.D.People who were interested in graffiti.3.What can we know from the third paragraph?A.New Yorkers think graffiti is art.B.Graffiti was accepted by officials completely.C.Buildings can be covered with graffiti freely.D.There were once advertisements on city surface.4.What is the author’s final opinion about graffiti?A.Graffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.B.Graffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.C.Some popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.D.Some graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.C; 2.A; 3.B; 4.C解析：1.本文介绍了越来越多的学生在被大学录取后,不直接去上大学,而是在间隔年期间赚取上大学的费用的现象。

2019年高考英语二轮复习【短文改错题解题指导及训练】高考英语短文改错技巧第一步必须熟悉设错方式1. 必须熟悉设错方式：多词、少词、错词。

⑴多词现象大多出现在冠词、介词、助动词、连词、语义重复及行文逻辑等方面。

⑵少词现象主要出现在冠词、介词、副词、助动词、不定式符号to、连词等。

⑶错词现象主要在冠词、介词、名词单复数、动词时态、非谓语动词、主谓一致、代词、连词、词形。

2. 平时应加强基本功训练，用一个“错题集”本把自己或同学在书面表达中出现的错误归纳一下，以便考前复习。

第一步加强基本功训练短文改错与书面表达一样，最能反映一个人的语言功底。

大家在该题上失分最厉害，因为此题而影响英语总成绩的占大多数。

第二步对全文宏观把握大家应把改错内容当作一篇小短文来理解，这样能对短文有个宏观把握，对上下文有全面的了解。

在理解篇章的基础上逐句审读，分析判断，上下兼顾，把明显的、拿的准的题先做完，这样可以缩小包围圈，也有助于对全文的进一步理解。

第三步从语法角度审查1. 查看时态是否一致。

My favorite sport is football. I was a member of our football team. 全文都是用的一般现在时，此句中的was显然与上下文语境不符，应改为am。

2. 查看主谓是否一致。

Anyone may borrow books, and it cost nothing to borrow them. cost应改为costs，因其主语是it(为形式主语)，且上下文均为一般现在时。

3. 查指代是否一致。

The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home.句中的主语the Smiths表的是Smith一家人，因此指示代词his应改为their。

4. 查平行结构是否平行一致。

由and, or, but, either...or..., neither...nor..., not only...but also..., as well as 等并列连词和词组连接的结构可称为平行结构。
