高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。

高考英语二轮复习专项限时训练?阅读理解（十二）AMy dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up,they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演员）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard.Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗条) girls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance.As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform.1. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？A. Care for your dreamB. Dream and realityC. Nothing is impossibleD. Efforts to be a ballerina will pay2. The author didn’t realize her dream of being a ballerina mainly because_______.A. she was bored of dancing and performingB. she had lack of self-respectC. her health conditions allowed her dream to dieD. she was deeply affected by others easily3. From the passage, it can be inferred that _________.A. the author was once a pretty and slender girl with wonderful dream.B. we should dare to give up our dream facing much pressure and difficulty4. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?A. to complainB. to praiseC. to warnD. to criticize5. The underlined expression “settle for” in the last paragraph means_________.A. turn downB. take upC. give upD. settle downB（空难新闻三则）◆200 dead as Brazilian plane crashes in Sao PauloUp to 200 people were dead after a passenger plane with 176 people aboard slid off the runway on landing and hit a fuel storage tank at Sao Paulo's Congonhas airport on Tuesday.Brazilian airline TAM said that 170 passengers and 6 crew were aboard the Airbus A320 flying from Porto Alegre in southern Brazil to Sao Paulo when it lost control on landing and slidoff the wet runway.Brazilian news agency Folha reported up to 200 people were dead, including some victims onthe ground.◆_______________________________________Two people were killed Saturday in two separate plane crashes in the United States, media reports said.In Dayton, Ohio, a plane crashed on a runway of the Dayton International Airport while performing during the Vectren Dayton Air Show. The pilot, Jim LeRoy, was taken to Miami Valley Hospital and was announced dead.

高考英语二轮复习专项训练阅读理解及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyon's edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 'got it – done', barely even glancing at the magnificent sc ene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.''When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren't usually very organized on their computers.（1）Why did the author mention Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A. To complain about some tourists' bad habits. B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tour.C. To point out people's obsession with taking pictures.D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.（2）What can we learn from Henkel's study?A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.D. Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve people's memories.（3）The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “________”.A. the cameraB. technologyC. the eventD. an object（4）What is the article mainly about?A. People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one's memory.C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，人们都有拍照的喜好，拍照有助于我们记忆。

I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes how wise her mother really is?How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so”, when she could have said these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself -- loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.A daughter( ) 1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.

Why does the daughter write the letter?A. She feels sorry to her mother.B. She wants to tell God how much she loves her mother.C. She expects God to retell her appreciation to her mother.D. She wants to pray for her mother.参考答案：ABBBFor a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use "essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: "Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.”One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject.Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form. Besides, in an essay test the student’s sco re may depend upon the examiner’s feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student’s knowledge can usually be obtained.( ) 4. What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?A. The essay test.B. How teachers test their students.C. How students write their essays.D. The objective test.( ) 5. The essay test is preferred because ________.A. it shows more about the student’s understanding of the subjectB. it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideasC. it gives each student a fairer chanceD. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings( ) 6. The underlined word “this” ( Para 3 ) refers to the fact that ________.A. students may receive a lower score in an essay testB. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher markC. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresD. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance( ) 7. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective test is NOT true?A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.B. It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.C. It shows the student’s ability to think about difficult problems.D. It is easy and quick to score.参考答案：DACCCWhen Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios andjuke-boxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like “Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on.He's a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar on his cheek? It's a bullet hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is “Mr. Tough (violent) Guy”. He's an ex-drug addict (上瘾者) who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from hunger he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that--a story. True, years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he'd go wild and get locked u p for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence.There's no Indian blood in his veins. He's been a killer only in a song. As for the “bullet hole",it's an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst.People who know Johnny Cash well say he's a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy”-- but not a “toughguy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the “Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the “bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there's little the singer can do to change people's minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says. ( ) 8. In truth, Johnny Cash ________.A. invented the “Indian grandmother”B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence( ) 9. In his private life, Johnny Cash is, ________.A. much wilder than he looksB. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose( ) 10. The passage shows us that many people believe ________.A. only what they seeB. what they think is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interesting( ) 11. We can infer from the text that ________.A. All stories about Johnny Cash were made up by people.B. Country-music fans everywhere, know his big hits.C. Both his songs and his appearance impress his fans.D. Johnny Cash suffered a lot in his childhood.参考答案：ADBCDIf your recurring (经常性的) dreams are worrying you, you can rest assured and needn’t worry. Psychologists say in the vast majority of these cases, this is just the mind’s way of dealing with stress and conflicts (冲突), problems and concerns. It’s a good thing.They can be surprisingly vivid and real, or fragmented (零散的) and weird. They can be comforting or frightening. Our dreams can tell us a lot about what we are really thinking, particularly when we are at life’s passages or turning points. Dreams give us an x-ray of our unconsciousness (潜意识).Lisa Oppenheim had the same dream whenever she was about to move to a new home or a new city. It’s always just a feeling of needing to stay safe. Experts say disturbing dreams often occur around major life events. For Lisa, it was moving. For others, it can be marriage or divorce, the death of a loved one or pressure at work.Doctor Siegel has studied the meaning of dream for nearly 30 years. He believes stressful orupsetting dreams can be a sign of what’s buried deep inside our minds.He said, “Dreams are important to survival. They are very important to the balance of our psyche (心灵). They help us work out problems that we’re having every single day. They go to the cutting edge of what’s stressful, what’s bothering us and what we’re working out in our lives. Dreams can guide us and in order to find that guidance, to find that deep source of wisdom that’s in our dreams every night, we need to pay attention to our dreams.”But many dreams are scary and horrible. How can we understand these nightmares? Doctor Siegel says they are reflecting especially intense emotion or unresolved conflict.

Don’t wait until the summer after junior year, or worse, the fall of senior year to begin this process. 17 You might be seeing the stress in seniors who are frantically (疯狂地) visiting colleges, writing essays, and completing applications.18 Do some research and think beyond the “usual suspects” (备选) before you find the most suitable choice. Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together. If your coursework and test scores don't look good enough, it will be more challenging to be accepted. However, your leadership or special talents may be more impressive if you are one of only a few students applying to a certain college.Be different in the activities you choose and follow your interests, not your friends. 19It could be tutoring, the environment, dancing, writing, or starting a business, but take part for the right reasons. Your activities should be meaningful and tell a story about who you are.Be different in what you write about in your essay to stand out. It is the one tool that gives you total control, so use it wisely. Write what you want them to know about you, not what you think they want to read. Brainstorming your essay topic is a self-reflection process. 20 Find something unique.A. Try to develop your talents.B. Be different in preparing your college list.C. Stay away from topics that everyone writes about.D. Dare to be different.E. Imagine what people are usually interested in.F. Starting early will relieve much stress.G. Find something that matters to you or something you care about.参考答案：EAGDC。

Public tours have been offered since Thomas Jefferson was president, but you can’t just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress (国会) up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour-info Web site to make sure about the personal identification you’ll need. And on the day of your visit, call 2024567041 to confirm the tour schedule. U．S. Capitol (国会大厦) —The U．S. Capitol is one of the city’s most popular tourist destinations. Your visit begins at the visitor center; plan to arrive about 45 minutes before your tour to get through security (the building is open Monday — Saturday from 8：30 a．m. to 4：30 p．m. ). While waiting, look around the center’s exhibition space, which features such historic treasures as the table used by Abraham Lincoln and the House gavel (小木槌) used during the roll call vote to declare war on Germany and Italy in 1941. In fact, even if you don’t have tour tickets, the visitor center is worth a stop if you’re in the area.President Lincoln’s Cottage — You shouldn’t miss this stop, the hilltop home where President Abraham Lincoln and his family lived during part of the Civil War.Lincoln’s Cottage is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors’recordings that reveal Lincoln’s thoughts on slavery and the war. “In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been，” says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. “We haven’t recreated the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves.”Library of Congress —The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it’s probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you’d really like to explore(i. e, when your feet start to hurt, you won’tfeel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing — murals (壁画), sculptures, performances — elsewhere in the complex.9．Which is TRUE about the White House?A．It is a new tourist attraction.B．It is open only to members of Congress.C．A reservation for a visit is required.D．You should call 2024567041 during your visit.10．It can be learned that you________to see the things on show in the visitor center of the U.
