Ⅰ阅读理解(2019·江西名校联盟检测)Several decades ago, educators in theU．S．A．began to call attention to a national problem: most students leaveAmerican schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or forhigher education.This was especially true for female and minoritystudents.The Educational Testing Service reported that, in an international survey, American teenagers had the lowest math scores.This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”，or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians, teachers, and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that, in addition to poor education, there are many psychological blocks.Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result, those students fall further and further behind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not always been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”—the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In addition, math textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures, and to discover relationships.Traditional computing skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are still being taught, of course. However, there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策。

She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream. Jahira said, “Sabrina said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously.”But Sabrina kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira andDavid decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics. So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Sabrina was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Sabrina was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team—the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Sabrina that she could not go. Jahira said, “Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’”A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Sabrina’s gym unexpectedly. They watched Sabrina train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!Eventually, Sabrina Vega competed at the 2012 Olympic trials. She finished 10th in the all rounds.【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。

课时练1　阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·长沙市高中毕业班模拟)A European gym and fitness provider is offering customers a delicious deal at their new café：work out and get a free meal.At the Run for Your Bun Café in London, David Lloyd Clubs is advertising its new activity as the first of its kind in the world. According to its advertisement, potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation, then complete a six－minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine and spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the café’s menu for free.The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的) office workers away from their desks during the workday. “According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting, being inactive and eating lunch at their desks—a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs, said in a statement. “We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”She added, “Importantly, the café isn’t in any way about encouraging people to ‘cancel out’ calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Bun Caféonly represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13, the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(模仿者) around the globe. Interested parties can head to 3 Slingsby Place, London from 12 p．m.to 3 p．m.until Friday.【解题导语】　该文主要介绍了欧洲一家健身服务提供商发起的一项活动。

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·合肥调研性检测)The effects of coffee consumption onhealth have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty. Since the1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as it’s harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson’s disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
