高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解
Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better
leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of
the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader
for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team
members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.
Take Responsibility
Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader
needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go
wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what
mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group
members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his
leadership
Concern for Members
The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more
importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means
getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to
build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is
included, even if an individual is new to a group.
Good Listener
The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group
members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be
put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their
concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.

2．阅读理解
No poem should ever be discussed or "analyzed", until it has been read aloud by someone,
teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning
of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the
poem is, finally, the most telling 'interpretation' of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at
once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a
special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it
or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important
than "analyzing" it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to
have students love poetry. Poetry is "a criticism of life", "a heightening of life, enjoyment with
others". It is "an approach to the truth of feeling", and it "can save your life". It also deserves a
place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should
