2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（23）李仕才AIf you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (动脉).Over time, this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better fo r us than “iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study,“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much.”1.The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “”.A.hardB.regularC.practicalD.flexible答案:A解析:词义猜测题。

On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！ And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things，including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mix—part beagle，part basset and part boxer.The four－year－old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness” they were looking for!Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。
高考英语二轮专题复习阅读理解极限突破测试卷 (23)
In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances (气旋) hundreds —even thousands —of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist (潮湿的) air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is switched to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to turn around in a counter-clockwise motion (反时针方向).The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released (释放) by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months.Water, rather than wind, is the main source of death and destroying in a hurricane.A typical hurricane brings 6-to-12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea — the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.43. An ordinary tropical storm is called a hurricane when ______.A.it occurs in the Caribbean seasB. its winds reach 75 miles per hourC. it makes its way to the coastlineD. its winds begin to circle on the sea44. What is the worst thing about hurricane?A. The rough water.B. The violent winds.C. The heat it gives out.D. The length of its life.45. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The hurricane is extraordinarily powerful.B. The hurricane is used to generate electricity.C. The hurricane can otherwise offer an unusual sight.D. The hurricane can give people an unforgettable experience.46. The counter-clockwise movement of the hurricane is caused by ______.A. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the increasing heatD. the trade winds【参考答案】43—45、BAA 46、 CPassage Ten (The Importance of Independent Thinking)No one can be a great thinker who does not realize that as a thinker it is her first duty to follow her intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. No that it is solely, of chiefly, to form great thinkers that freedom of thinking is required. One the contrary, it is as much or even more indispensable to enable average human beings to attain the mental stature which they are capable of. There have been and many again be great individual thinkers in a general atmosphere of mental slavery. But there never has been, nor ever will be, in that atmosphere an intellectually active people. Where any of heterodox speculation was for a time suspended, where there is a tacit convention that principles are not to be disputed: where the discussion of the greatest questions which can occupy humanity is considered to be closed, we cannot hope to find that generally high scale of mental activity which has made some periods of history so remarkable. Never when controversy avoided the subjects which are large and important enough to kindle enthusiasm was the mind of a people stirred up fro9m its foundation and the impulse given which raised even persons of the most ordinary intellect to something of the dignity of thinking beings.She who knows only her own side of the case knows little of that. Her reasons may be food, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if she s equally unable to refute the reasons of the opposite side; if she does not so much as know what they are, she has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational positionfor her would be suspension of judgment, and unless she contents herself with that, she is either led by authority, or adopts, like the generality of the world the side to which she feels the most inclination. Nor is it enough that she should heat the arguments of adversaries from her own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations, That is not the way to do justice to the arguments, or bring them into real contact with her own mind. She must be able to hear them form persons who actually believe them; who defend them in earnest, and do their very utmost for them. She must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form; she must feel the whole force of the difficulty which the true view of the subject has to encounter and dispose of; else she will never really possess herself of the portion of truth which meets and removes that difficulty. Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated persons are in this condition; even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions. Their conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know; they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently form them and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrines which they themselves profess.1.The best title for this passage is[A] The Age of Reason The need for Independent Thinking[C] The Value of Reason [D] Stirring People’s Minds2.According to the author, it is always advisable to[A] have opinions which cannot be refuted.adopt the point of view to which one feels the most inclination.[C] be acquainted with the arguments favoring the point of view with which one disagrees,[D] suspend heterodox speculation in favor of doctrinaire approaches.3.According to the author, in a great period such as the Renaissance we may expect to find[A] acceptance of truth controversy over principles [C] inordinate enthusiasm [D] a dread of heterodox speculation4.According to the author, the person who holds orthodox beliefs without examination may be described in all of the following ways EXCEPT as[A] enslaved by tradition less than fully rational[C] determinded on controversy [D] having a closed mind5.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements[A] A truly great thinker makes no mistakes.Periods of intellectual achievement are periods of unorthodox reflection,[C] The refutation of accepted ideas can best be provided by one’s own teachers.[D] excessive controversy prevents clear thinking,Vocabulary1. stature 高度，境界，状况2. heterodox 不合乎公认的标准的，异端的，异教的3. tacit 心照不宣4. refute 反驳5. adversary 对立面，对手，敌人6. plausible 善于花言巧语的/辞令的，似乎有理的/有可能的7. doctrine 教义，学说8. profess 表示，明言，承认，自称，信奉难句译注1. True gains more even by the errors of one who with due study and preparation, thinks for himself, then by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.[参考译文] 真理甚至从一个经过恰当研究和准备进行独立思考的人的错误中获得更多的东西，而从那些只是因为不予思考却持有正确的观点中获得的少（一种经过恰当的研究和准备进行独立思考的人犯的错误，另一种人是不予思考的却持有正确的观点，真理从前者错误中获得的东西比从后者的正确观点中获得的要多）。

2023年高考英语真题解析 阅读理解长难句分析
2023年高考英语真题解析阅读理解长难句分析Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.接下来进行分析解释。
长难句解析：这个句子虽然看起来长而且结构复杂，但是实际上它的结构清晰明了。
第一步：理出来句子的主次，以做到主次分明。
represented之前是主干，主干是一个主系表结构。
represented之后是次要部分。
主干的内容是：Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of everyday object —the book. 意思是：《阅读的艺术：关于书籍爱好者的艺术》颂扬的是书籍这一日常物品。
主干理解疑难点：1，英语没有专门的书名号，书籍名称、文章名称，电影名称等等需要用斜体表示出来。
当然这篇文章后面也明确提到了这是一本书（book of books关于书籍的书）。
2 celebration表示：庆祝，庆典，还可以表示颂扬。
这里意思不是庆祝书籍，而是颂扬书籍的意思。
第二步，理解句子次要的修饰部分：represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.意思是：这种颂扬体现在《阅读的艺术：关于书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书里面，书里面有来自世界各地博物馆约300件艺术作品。
二，次要部分理解疑难点：1，represent的意思很多，可以表示：代表，体现，展示。
这里represented是过去分词表示被动，意思是：对书籍的颂扬被这些艺术作品体现了出来。
2，这个句子中的here（这里）到底是哪里？实际上，here(这里)指的是这本书。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s h appening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__74__Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____75_Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.A.

At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F.

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on. Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion. . .
It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.
" My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"
Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.
"Don't you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience.
"Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. "
"Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month. " "What is her name?" "Bingley. "
"Is she married or single?"
"What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so? How can it possibly affect them? "
"My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "
" Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "
" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort
of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. "
" Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. "
And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. ... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.
