天天增分 （十五）满分 48 分，实战模拟， 15 分钟拿下高考客观题满分 姓名： _ 班级： _____ Ⅰ.阅读理解ATwo years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives ，and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute （ 献礼） to my grandmother.We secretly sent out letters to the people in grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled （ 编纂） these letters into a memory book andamazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had ， but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has ，but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say he has lived a successful life. I have madem any friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.1. How did the author's family celebrate the grandmother's birthday?A. They took her on a trip across the country.B. They gave her a memory book of friendship.C.

天天增分(七)满分48分，实战模拟，15分钟拿下高考客观题满分！姓名：________班级：________Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life.“Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase，” she says. But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. “My work，”she says, “is to rescue men from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from men.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans，” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed！1.For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________.A. get long-lasting excitementB. keep both men and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame2.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called the elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers3.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them4.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that ______.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants【语篇解读】本文介绍了大象公主Parbati 的故事。

天天增分(四)满分48分，实战模拟，15分钟拿下高考客观题满分！姓名：________班级：________Ⅰ.阅读理解It is a familiar scene these days: employees tak ing newly laid-off (下岗)co-workers out for a drink for comfort.But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve，the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse，”Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety，for example，while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from－even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fig ht or flight” response，which leads to damaging stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job－it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure－gives psychological improvement over unemployment.”Burchell supposesthat the difference in men is that they tend tofeel pressure not only to be employed，but also to be the primary breadwinner，and that more of a man's self-worth depends on his job.1. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more？A. They have to do more work since then.B. They have no chance to find better jobs.C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.2. What is mos t likely to cause a “fight or flight” response？A. Not having a paid job.B. Fierce competition for jobs.C. Not knowing what will happen.D. Pressure to work longer hours.3. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph？A. Advice on preparing a job interview.B. Advice to those in insecure industries.C. Some knowledge of psychology.D. Difference in men and women.4. What could be the best title for the text？A. Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On？B. Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless？C. Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before？D. Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety？【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

天天增分(三)满分48分，实战模拟，15分钟拿下高考客观题满分！姓名：________ 班级：________阅读理解AI've always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed. What I remember most about visiting my boyfriend's parents is the loud tick of the clock as we silently ate our meal. I was quick to regard his family as cold. However, once, when we were about to drive home, my boyfriend's father appeared and began to wash the windshield (挡风玻璃). I could sense that his dad was a caring man.I learned another lesson about love later. My father often telephoned me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It's a good share price，” he would say when I answered the phone. My dad offered no pleasant greeting or inquiry (询问) about my life. This angered me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father's success and realized his concern for my financial security showed how much he loved me. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock (股票)，I thanked him.The way I treat my friends is sometimes different from how they treat me. For example I always return phone calls without delay and regularly check in with old friends. I had one friend who rarely called, responding to my messages with short e­mails. “She isn't a good friend！” I thought. My anger grew as the holidays approached. Then she came to a gathering I hosted and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we last went window­shopping. I was shocked at her kindness，and felt bad for thinking her uncaring. Clearly I needed to change my expectations.Far too often, I ignore unique expressions, eagerly expecting people to do things my way. This has left me feeling unloved. Over the years, however, I have learned to read others' love signs better and get along well with them.1.

天天增分(一)满分48分，实战模拟，15分钟拿下高考客观题满分！姓名：________ 班级：________Ⅰ.阅读理解AThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”， and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级)and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old，says，“I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn't consider her my best friend. Best friends don't pay for your wedding. Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you. ” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still trou bled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional well­being. It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers. It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well­being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.1. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “__________”．A. differB. preventC. benefitD. change2. What do we know from the passage？A. The mother and daughter relationship can he replaced by a best friend.B. A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends' friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.3. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples4. What is the best title for the passage？A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Who is a mother's best friend？C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Can a mother be a daughter's best friend？【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano, The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial，Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn't admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn't even stand seeing them in a film.Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels (分贝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.The court hasn't made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.1.
