Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (动画片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce hal f of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (胆小的)Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.The first thi ng that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated mov ie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual,has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming to morrow.”BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.1、This piece of writing is a _______.A.commercial advertisement B.film reviewC.movie poster D.literary essay2、The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.A.Ewan McGregor B.Robin WilliamsC.Britney Spears D.Halle Berry3、What is Shark Tale an example of?A.A great cast. B.A poor plot.C.Special effects. D.Clumsy animation.【参考答案】1—3、BCB阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,”said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice, it’s probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese,you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump (树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book written by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense (香) in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune;it’s practical advice you can follow e ach day.Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he separated volunteers into two groups:those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.It’s eas y to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an e ven better opportunity. People who are “lucky”,in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners,my plan was to teach Englis h for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good.Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.1. Which of the follow ing proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point?A.Make the best of a bad job.B.Rome was not built in a day.C.All that glitters is not gold.D.A good heart conquers ill fortune.2. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey?A.She became famous through her family background.B.She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life.C.She is a British talk show host.D.She became successful by her own effort.3. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show________.A. luck is in your own handB.bad luck can turn into goodC.you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to youD.man can conquer nature4. The underlined wo rd “spot” is the closest in meaning to“________”.A.recognize B.markC.locate D.receive[解题导语]本文为谈论文。

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips fr om our experts you should keep in mind:Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smi th says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professor s will often be the bridge that connects you to your future care er and your classmates will become your professional networ k. You do n’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but y ou should display an ability to properly present yourself with a ppropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so conside r the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s temptin g to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirt s is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out th at leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unaccept able in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings wor n as pants are a common trend among high school and colleg e girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a y oung woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your m aturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty o n them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can ta ke years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!1. The second paragraph indicates the importance of _______ _.A. impressing professorsB. getting on well with classmatesC. creating a professional imageD. dressing appropriately2. The author believes that college girls should ________.A. choose a logo that suits their ageB. try to load up on well-known logosC. use logos to show who they areD. find their identity by trying different logos3. The author recommends wearing real pants because _____ ___.A. leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortableC. real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD. people like real pants better than the other pants4. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A. They make people look lovely.B. They are very fashionable these days.C. They will show you’re an animal lover.D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.5. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A. Business Week.B. Parents.C. In style.D. Travel & Lei sure.【参考答案】1—5、D A C D C阅读理解。
2013昆明市高考英语(阅读理解)冲刺练兵(5)及答案解析1If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so—or even double that depending on where you live now. That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive ci ty for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐).A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包) is a steal at $4.80.London takes the No.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year’s study—New York came in15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No.21 worldwide.72. What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. An act of stealing.B. Something delicious.C. Something very cheapD. An act of buying.73. London has become the second most expensive city because of ______.A. the high cost of clothingB. the stronger pound against the dollarC. its expensive transportationD. the high prices of fast food meals74. Which city is the third most expensive on the list?A. Tokyo.B. Hong Kong.C. Moscow.D. Sydney.75. Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. San Francisco.D. Toronto.答案72.C 73.B 74.A 75.D******************************************************结束(第******篇)It’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’ t insist he tell you what’ s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ ll clam_up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’ s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family ’ s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, butteaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a parttime job.[语篇解读] 本文向父母们介绍了一些教育青少年的可行的做法。

If you are a fan of J.K Rowling and her Harry Potter book series, you may be fascinated with the idea of an invisible coat.You are not alone.Scientists have been working hard to produce a material which will make buildings as well as people invisible.Now a Canadian company claims to have succeeded with magical textile (纺织品)called "Quantum Stealth".British Columbia based on Hyperstealth Technology Corporation claims that the material makes its wearers completely invisible, even to people with night glasses.Also, just like the young wizard's coat, it is light-weight and does not need cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors to operate.But best of all, it is cheap to make.As to how it really works, the company keeps it a top secret.Besides stating that they have successfully managed to bend light waves, so that they go round the material instead of through it, the company is not giving out any details.What it does detail is all the good uses that Quantum Stealth could be put to-ranging from protecting US and Canadian soldiers forced to step into enemy region, to allowing special armed forces to carry out surprise attack without any fear of being seen.And if that is not enough they even imagine creating aircrafts and submarines (潜水艇)that can go completely undetected.To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its magical properties.For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to create the next generation "survival blanket" that could make the soldier invisible all at once! If this is indeed true, we have only one question: When will this magical fabric beavailable to the rest of us?1.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To bring in the topic.B.To draw peopled attention to J.K Rowling and her idea.C.To make the article interesting.D.To introduce the Canadian company.2.According to the passage, Quantum Stealth is _____.A.an invisible coat worn by the wizard in the film "Harry Potter"B.a type of material making its users invisibleC.an equipment employed as an alternative for camerasD.an advanced weapon used to attack enemies3.Which of the following words can be used to describe the coat?A.Convenient but not expensive.B.Creative but heavy.C.Ordinary and light.D.Magical and imaginary.4.The third paragraph is mainly about _____.A.there are no details about the material B.whether the material is true or falseC.the materials theory and functions D.the material has been put into practice5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The material is invisible only to those with night glasses.B.Quantum Stealth will be widely used in our life soon.C.People have no faith in the photos and video provided at all.D.The new product can still be improved for better use.【参考答案】1—5、ABACD请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

(2014·九江模拟)It’s common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don’t speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because i t’s the end of an era when you and your family were at the centre of your child’s world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It’s a huge change for everyone involved.There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child’s departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready t o feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye—but that might not show!Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you’ve unpacked the car and looked around your child’s new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car—you’ll make things easier on your child and yourself.The more you’ve invested in being a parent, the more you’ll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you’ve been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child w ho functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.It’s also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don’t expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn’t respond imme diately—remember, he is starting a new and busy life.【文章大意】本文主要讲述孩子上大学后, 父母如何避免过度伤心。
昆明市最新高考英语阅读理解练习题(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.(2019•天津)阅读理解How does an ecosystem(生态系统)work? What makes the populations of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator(掠食动物)always eats huge numbers of a single prey(猎物), the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species---including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists says because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点), it is remarkably difficult for them to return.(1)What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?A. The living habits of species in food webs.B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.(2)A strong link is found between two species when a predator______.A. has a wide food choiceB. can easily find new preyC. sticks to one prey speciesD. can quickly move to another place(3)What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.B. The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D. The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.(4)What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.(5)How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?A. By getting illegal practices under control.B. By stopping us from killing large predators.C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)D(4)A(5)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了借助食物网的数学模型,科学家们发现了一些在食物网运营的关键原则。
- 1 - 昆明2015高考英语阅读理解、完形填空四月自练(12)答案 阅读理解 A survey of professors finds that most see online courses as inferior to in-class lessons—but those who have taught online are more open to their potential. Larry Greenemeier reports The New York Times calls 2013“the year of the MOOC(网络开放课程). ”But lots of open online courses still fail to get high marks from most educators. In a recent survey of more than 2, 200 professors, only one in five thought that online courses could be as effective as classroom curricula(课程). Their biggest concern: limited interaction between teachers and students. The survey was done by Gallup and the website Inside Higher Ed. Respondents linked MOOC credibility to whether an online course was offered by an qualified school and to a student’s ability to receive credits. The doubt from the faculty of the schools isn’t surprising. New technologies often turn those well-prepared products and services into goods without little excitement, something no teacher wants. On the other hand, refusing to change, especially when it involves computers, tends to be a losing strategy in most fields. One of the important points in the data is that much MOOC criticism comes from faculty who’ve never taught an online course. Of the 30 percent of professors polled(被投票的)who had taught a MOOC, most thought that online courses can deliver roughly the same results as the classroom ones. 【文章大意】2013年被称为“网络开放课程之年”。很多人都在质疑网络开放课程的有效性和它的可信度。有人认为这种课程把一些精心准备的产品和服务变成了平淡无奇的商品, 这些都不是老师们想要的。关于调查数据的可信度也遭到了质疑。 1.

But there were millions of them, which was why dad was so anxious to get rid of them. “They’re totally destroying our beans, ”he told Mom over lunchtime one Saturday. “I’ve been trying to keep them out of the tomatoes, but I don’t know if I can make it. ” “Isn’t there something you can do about them? ”Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think there’s a spray(喷雾)or something, ”Dad said. “I’m going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions. ” I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. But what I heard was, “While I’m gone, why don’t you and George come up with your own plan for getting rid of the grasshoppers? ” And so that’s what we did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I won’t describe our experiments. Let’s just call it“The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter quickly turned to silence when we saw the look on my Dad’s face. “What are you boys doing? ”he asked. “We’re just sort of helping to get rid of the grasshoppers, ”I said. “This isn’t getting rid of grasshoppers, ”Dad said. “This is killing. ” I was confused. I looked at the insecticide he was carrying. “But aren’t you going to kill grasshoppers with that? ”I asked. “Yes, because it’s something we need to do for the protection of our garden, ”he said seriously. “But I’m not going to enjoy it. ” 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者家的菜园遭到蚂蚱的破坏, 天真的作者想帮助父亲除掉蚂蚱, 不想他和同伴使用的方法让父亲很生气, 父亲告诫他们: 不能杀生取乐, 要学会仁慈。 1.

阅读理解。 Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member…these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life. Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) . Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting. Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much. Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future. Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 11.
