Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats，which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals.Once infected，a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus. Unfortunately，there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola.Health-care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition.Ebola can kill 90% of those infected，especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients，they are forced to wear strict protective clothes，and in some cases，not even allowed to get close to the infected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. What’s worse，since we live in an interconnected world，where the situation in one country can affect us all，the influences of Ebola are huge：damaging trade relations，affecting foreign visitors，and weakening entire countries.It is feared

2016高考英语二轮：语篇阅读高分练(3)及答案 语篇阅读高分练(三) (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解 A Three years ago when I was just a freshman in high school，the busy spring season was approaching quickly.I was already preparing to play the saxophone(萨克斯) in my school’s pit orchestra for the musical that year，for state solo and ensemble(合奏)，and softball tryouts(选拔赛) were just around the corner. It was only the second day of tryouts—a Tuesday.Adults were hitting pop-ups in the outfield as a drill(训练)．The drill was poorly set up，however，as two lines were formed in both the right and left outfields as the adults hit fly balls from the line towards center field.When it was my turn，I stepped up and the ball was hit.I turned and started to run back，but soon realized the ball was hit way too hard for me to catch.I turned around to run and get it...Then I recall waking up on the ground.As it turns out，when I turned to retrieve(取回) the ball，I ran into another player，my front teeth piercing her forehead.As one could imagine，I was horrified! My right front tooth was very loose and about to fall out.With the musical only four days away and state solo and ensemble a week away.It was vexatious! After going to the dentist and getting my tooth fixed，I went home and to bed after taking the prescribed painkillers.That Friday，Saturday，and Sunday，I performed in the musical.I also went to state solo and ensemble the week after and received a one (the best score one can receive)，regardless of the pain and discomfort I endured.I was determined to do what I love—play music...and I did. 1．How was the drill place? A．It was not good. B．It was new. C．It was too hard. D．It was too high. 2．How were the author’s teeth hurt? A．They were hit by the ball.

2016四川高考英语二轮：语篇阅读高分练(5)及答案 语篇阅读高分练(五) (建议用时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2015·安徽安庆五校3月联考) Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its business-to-business site，https://www.360docs.net/doc/2113091274.html,，allowed businesses to buy almost everything.Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge：size.Alibaba is just big，even by Chinese standards.Its markets attract 231 million active buyers,8 million sellers,11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life，take my experience.I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded，polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics，bathroom furnishings，and anything else my wife wanted.“You’re looking for what exactly？Why not try it？”my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that，my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit，and leading that group is Taobao，with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever https://www.360docs.net/doc/2113091274.html, is Alibaba’s other big site，where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U．S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—bigbox retailers especially—in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing，where big retailers have not yet traveled，shopping online is shopping，and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I’m not even a big

If you think so，you’re not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession. “Energy independence” and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion “energy security” are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely through，though.What is it that we want independence from，exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes，there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second，Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports? Third，there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency，and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

2016四川高考英语二轮：语篇阅读高分练(3)及答案 四川语篇阅读高分练(三) (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解 A It is important to learn business English if you are going to be successful in another country where English is the primary language.It will also be a great idea to practice speaking and writing in business English.If a university offers a course on business English，it will be a good idea to take the class.Reading，writing and speaking English is necessary to start a business. Business English is different from asking where to find the nearest hotel.There are classes you can take to help you but there are things that you can learn on your own.V ocabulary and grammar are a good place to start with.You need to know what words https://www.360docs.net/doc/2113091274.html,ter，try to pronounce the words and then look them up in the dictionary.Try using them in a sentence and ask someone who is good at English to help you.Once you have an understanding of English，you can use it in business English. In business you will have to learn such things as taking messages，answering the phones with proper words and communicating with your co-workers.You may have to learn how to make travel plans.Business English is very different from spoken English.Grammar is the same but you have to learn things like expressing yourself in a proper manner or maybe making a report in your office. If you are working in the customer service sector(客户服务部门)，you really have to learn business English.Dealing with the public is sometimes more important than asking your boss for a raise(加薪)．Most businesses offer training classes and some companies offer classes on how to do the job with proper business English. 1．Why do people learn business English? A．They want successful communication. B．They want to ask the boss for a raise. C．They want to have their own company. D．They will have a chance to get a better job.

Third，there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency，and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.

2019-2020年高考英语大二轮总复习语篇阅读高分练（二） Ⅰ.阅读理解 [xx·甘肃天水一中高三高考信息卷(二)] Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It’s not something I’d like to do.So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate! The University of Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown.Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that，do we? Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem. The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the m ain issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material.” The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa.That’s where 75%of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide es from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people. Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now. The scientist says，“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”
