高考英语一轮复习 暑假阅读理解编选(三)高三全册英语试题
入舵市安恙阳光实验学校辽宁2017高考英语暑假阅读理解编选（三）阅读理解—推理判断题。
（湖北襄阳四中、龙泉中学、荆州中学联考）Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when on door closes another one opens(for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams(砰然关上)in your face. That's bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists(悲观者)have suspected all along. it's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the tings by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far，so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don't put all your eggs in o ne basket.”And “Don't count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says ,”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.1.What's the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently been published.B.How to become successful in lifeC.The dangers of being too optimistic.D.The benefits of defensive pessimism.2.The underlined sentence “ This is not rocketscience”(Para.4)means .A.it's not a dangerous thing to doB.it is quite simple to understandC.the cost is not so highD.there is no real proof3.which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?A.Don't put all your eggs in one basket.B.The glass is half full not half empty.C.Whatever will be, will be.D.Every cloud has a silver lining.4.The writer would probably describe himself as .A.An optimistB. a defeatistC. a realistD. a scientist语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要说明的是防御非观主义的积极力量。

In 2010, however, a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. For Hill, it was not the end of a dancing career but the beginning.Hill danced in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. It definitely took a lot of learning and patience to dance in a wheelchair.After graduation, Hill met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. It was an amazing experience for her.In 2014 Los Angeles, she formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and sho w that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,” she said. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety.Hill has attained what many people never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. She calls it the Rollettes Experience, and in 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello said that working with Hill challenged her to be more independent. Edna Serrano said being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car because she had more confidence.The dancers aren’t the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw the team competing and commented, “You guys are so awesome! I’m in tears when you rock! To be in a wheelchair can still be so beautiful!”24. What do we know about Chelsie Hill from the first two paragraphs?A. She got seriously injured in a dancing match.B. She stopped dancing right after a car accident.C. She dreamed of being a dancer at a young age.D. She danced in a disabled team in high school.25. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Conservative views.B. Improper behaviors.C. Incurable disabilities.D. Physical weaknesses.26. What do we know about the Rollettes Experience?A. Audience spoke ill of the competition.B. Participants benefited greatly from it.C. It is aimed to select the best dancers.D. It made Hill’s childhood dream fulfilled.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Chelsie Hill, An Artful DancerB. Disability, Good for DancingC. Help others; Help YourselfD. Attaining Dancing Dream In WheelchairCSince App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing—choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon （优惠券）for one thing: There's so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.It isn't consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There arc already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers （用户）pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content issimilar—carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm （运算法则）. But we've seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube. They feed you only what you've already said you like, not things you may not know you're into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward can't simply be more or better algorithms.Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less.28.What will too much choice of content on the market result in?A. The shutdown of companies.B. Anxiety of consumers.,C. Poor quality of products.D. Negative influence on economy.29.Why is Disney planning to open its own streaming service?A. To improve its marketing strategy.B. To help people focus on less choice.C. To encourage more people to visit Disney.D. To provide consumers with various services30.In what way may a wine club and digital content in the near future be similar?A. Someone else will be employed to make a choice for consumers.B. Both of them will offer only a few options.C. Consumers will refuse to choose from too many options.D. Both of them will make a change about their products.31.What do we know about the algorithm?A. It manages to offer what consumers will possibly like.B. It helps to remove disturbing content from digital media.C. It offers consumers things based on what they've said they like.D. It'll solve the problem of having too much choice.DA MENTORING （导师制）program is giving life changing opportunitiesto Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said, "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences that will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook. " "We try to create work experience opportunities which will make a really great difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships （实习）with world - famous firms such as Honda.""At a time of funding cutbacks, schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring because of that — it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October, the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's（ UNESCO） International Youth Forum（论坛）.The event was held for young people all over the world to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundreds of observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop. It was amazing. " he said, "We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "The main theme of the forum was how youth can bring about change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August. " The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. For more details visit www. younginspiratiom. com.32. Why is the Young Inspirations mentoring program set up?A. To train staff for world-famous firms.B. To provide youth with unique experiences.C. To equip the unemployed for future jobs.D. To offer job opportunities to young adults.33. What does the underlined "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. the influence of unemploymentB. the lack of support from firmsC. the shortage of moneyD. the lack of opportunities34. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB. Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC. the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young InspirationsB. Kieran, a School Pupil from Banbury to ParisC. Debates Help Youth with Their Grades and ConfidenceD. Young People Find a World of Life-changing Opportunities七选五（存瑞中学度第一学期第三次质检）Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? 36_ Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety that helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of you getting on with life and can become a real problem. 37Anxiety is a normal part of life. 38 There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. S o, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite li kely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.39 If your parents suffer from anxiety, then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re g rowing up.Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.If you have an anxiety problem, it’s hard for other people to und erstand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse.40 These include talking therapies(疗法) and drugs.A. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.B. Being anxious also probably runs in families.C. The good news is that there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety.D. Almost everybody has a certain degree of anxiety in certain situations.E. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations.F. Those suffering from anxiety need others’ understanding badly.G. If you’ve answered yes, you may be su ffering from anxiety.参考答案完形填空21-25 ABCCD 26-30 ADCDA 31-35 BCAAB阅读理解21.D 22.C 23.B 24-27 CABD 28—31 DBAC 32—35BCBD七选五36-40 GAEBC。

Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it.He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm.Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either.He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought.At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ”“Yes, you may. ”“First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”“Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he repli ed softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ”The man nodded.【文章大意】一个圣徒从河里拯救一只蝎子时, 先后被蜇了两次, 但他仍旧努力把它救了出来。

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.After the accident , my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day . But the next day , he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done . I was astonished . He had good reason to charge me , he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury , I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor , it was only fair that I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor , I had to wait about 50 minutes . He would see two or three patients at the same time ,and often stop treating one so as to see another . Yet he charged me $115 each time . The final examination report consisted of ten lines , and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met . But after that he avoided seeing me at all . He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident , yet he hardly did anything . He simply waited to collect his money . He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him . And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America . Knowing that ,they played for time,… and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything . It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality . Secondly ,foreigners are still being unfairly treated.

湖南省湘潭市2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解暑假选练（3）阅读理解。
The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines（学科）,philosophy cannot be defined by what you study ,because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning .The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other discoveries. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philos ophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important form a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessar ily obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for position of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very shortsighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.1.According to Paragraph 1. Philosophy can best be described as the study of .A.social sciencesB.natural sciencesC.both social and natural sciencesD.the subject matter of politics2.With the study of philosophy, you can .A.become a great leaderB.succeed in everythingC.find a good job soon after graduationD.make progress in your career development3.According to the passage, which of the follwing statements is TRUE?A.Philosophy is an independent discipline.B.Logic helps you to become a better thinker.C.The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.D.The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.4. From the passage, we can concludeA.not all the subjects have to do with philosophyB.a person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophyC.philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsD.philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world【参考答案】C D B C阅读理解。
Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara runs across North Africa, Covering over 3 million square miles from the Atlantic Coast to the Nile River Valley. Except for an occasional oasis(绿洲), this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities(社团，社区) where a large number of people lived.Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. Forcenturies people there have wandered from place to place in search of food, water and grazing(吃草)land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. It is considered more important to have 100 sick and starving animals than 15 healthy ones. The large herds(群)have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing overgrazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nightting temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. Scientists believe this rainwater simply flew down through the sand over hundreds of years and collected in the big, rocky holding tanks. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks. By drilling the hole one mile deep into the floor of the desert, one machine was able to recover more than 80 gallons of ice—cold water each second, or 288,000 gallons per hour.Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert is dotted with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones. Studies show that stones provide protection from the sun, allowing seeds to grow in a shady and cool environment. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.1. What will probably happen if the local people continue their customs and traditions?A. The desert will continue to be enlarged.B. Tourists will begin traveling to North Africa.C. More oases will begin to appear across the desert.D. The number of healthy animals will become larger.答案解析：答案为A。
