2020湖北枣阳市高考英语二轮教育类阅读理解选练（1）2020高考英语阅读理解——教育类Failing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!The bo arding school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people from all walks of life live i n a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instr ument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about fa ilure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failedmany times before they finished what they set out to do.“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stopping themselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,” said Bruce.【小题1】What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?A．To get the students involved in social activities.B．To help the students accept and learn from failure.C．To make the students study even harder.D．To teach the students how to get relaxed.【小题2】During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________.A．taking risksB．learning from others’experiencesC．trying something newD．trying to entertain themselves【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?A．Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily. B．Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.C．The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding. D．The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.2020高考英语阅读理解——教育类If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.I am the Webmaster for , and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats.I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.【小题1】From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _______.A．car seat B．car for childrenC．safety belt D．game on 【小题2】The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.A．a person hating sitting in the car for longB．an adult often driving a traditional carC．a child requiring some freedom in the carD．a driver needing comfortable seats【小题3】The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________. A．support the topic of the child car safetyB．describe the advantage of the FreedomRideC．introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.D．describe what the author does with his child car seat【小题4】The next part following the last paragraph may mention________. A．the way of ordering B．the way of communicatingC．the inventor of this product D．the advantage of the product阅读理解-----CJust seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark——alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump——convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn't.After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.The recall may hurt Symbion Inc., maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won't end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned mode is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection. Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient's chest. The first sample products aren't expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they'll work---and that America's overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (开支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually bea decline in the nation's health.11. According to the passage, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart proved to be _____.A. a technical failureB. a technical wonderC. a good life-saverD. an effective means to treat heart disease12. From the passage we know that Symbion Inc. _____.A. has been banned by the government from producing artificial heartsB. will review the effects of artificial hearts before designing new modelsC. may continue to work on new models of reliable artificial heartsD. can make new models of artificial hearts available on the market in 10 to 20 years13. The new models of artificial hearts are expected _____.A. to have a working life of 10 or 20 yearsB. to be set fully in the patient's chestC. to be equipped with an external power sourceD. to create a new passage for infection14. The word "them" in Line 7, Para. 2 refers to _____.A. doctors who treat heart diseasesB. makers of artificial heartsC. America's health-care programsD. new models of artificial hearts15. Some people feel that _____.A. artificial hearts are seldom effectiveB. the country should not spend so much money on artificial heartsC. the country is not spending enough money on artificial heartsD. America's health-care programs are not doing enough for the nation's health【参考答案】11—15、ACBDB阅读理解-----DPresident Coolidge's statement,“The business of America is business,”still points to an important truth today that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on theideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected. Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族的) idea of inherited privilege(待遇).16. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “ _______”.A. The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceB. Business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC. Business is of primary concern to AmericansD. America is a great power in world business17. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only _______.A. when given equality of opportunity C. by protecting their individual freedomB. through doing business D. by way of competition18. Who can benefit from business competition?A. Honest businessmen.B. Both businessmen and their customers.C. People with ideas of equality and freedom.D. Both business institutions and government.19. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in thatgovernment is characterized by________.A. its absolute control of powerB. its function in preserving personal freedomC. its role in protecting basic American valuesD. its democratic way of exercising leadership20. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ________.A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB. in many countries success often depends on one's social statusC. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America 【参考答案】16—20、CDBAB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

湖北省枣阳市2019高考英语二轮复习教育类阅读理解选练(3)
2016湖北枣阳市高考英语二轮教育类阅读理解选练（3）2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “That’s irr elevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions –all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence bu t the quality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office –Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in t hat idea.If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.【小题1】From the passage, we know that the author is _____.A．a poet B．an educatorC．an editor D．a director【小题2】We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____. A．have enough time B．can meet the presidentC．get something done well D．should accept the explanation【小题3】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _____.A．That is impossible B．That is not importantC．That is unbearable D．That is not acceptable【小题4】The main purpose of writing the passage is to give _____.A．information B．encouragementC．criticism D．advice2016高考英语阅读理解——教育类It’s so difficult to follow the ups and downs of a 2-year-old. One moment he’s beaming and friend ly; the next he’s sullen（愠怒的）and weepy, often for no apparent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body.At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventure. As a result, he’ll spend most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environments. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him.When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back, he often reacts with anger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气). He may even strike back by hitting, biting and kicking. At this age, he doesn’t have much control over his emotional impulse (冲动). So his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying, hitting or screaming. It’s his only way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. It’s all part of being 2.It’s not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when you’re not around, because they don’t trust people enough to test their limits. But with you, your toddler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows you’llrescue him if he gets into trouble.Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when you’re about to leave him with a sitter, he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation (预想) of the separation. Or he may cry and cling to you. Or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic(策略) is to reassure him before you leave that you will be back and, when you return, to praise him for being so patient while you are gone. Take comfort in the fact that separations should be much easier by the time he’s 3 years old. 【小题1】The “ups and downs” (Para. 1) of a 2-year-old refers to ________.A．his falling down and standing upB．his successes and failures in doing thingsC．his good and bad traitsD．his mood swings【小题2】A 2-year-old still lacks all of the following EXCEPT _____________.A．signs that express his emotional changesB．skills necessary for accomplishing certain thingsC．control over his emotional impulsesD．good methods of dealing with the difficult realities of life【小题3】Which of the following is true?A．A 2-year-old doesn’t know how to express his anger and frustration.B．A 2-year-old often intentionally harms himself or others.C．A 2-year-old depends on his parents to do everything new and challenging.D．A 2-year-old trusts his parents more than other people【小题4】When a mother is about to separate with her baby, she’d better __________.A．leave without the baby’s knowledgeB．make the baby subdued and silentC．comfort the baby that she’ll be back soonD．ignore the baby’s reactions阅读下列短文，从每题所给的，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly, a crow rested on their window.The father asked his son, “What’s this?”The son replied, “It is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What’s this?”The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it is a crow!”After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What’s this?”At this time, some expression of anger was felt in his son’s tone when he said to his father with a firm reply. “It is a crow, a crow.”A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What’s this?”This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born.On opening a page, he asked his son to read the page.When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“Today, my little son aged 3 was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry but I rather felt love for my innocent son.”Paragraph 1:After reading the diary, the son burst into tears, feeling sorry for what he had done to his father._______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Feeling ashamed, the son got down to his knees before his father._______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________【答案】After reading the diary, the son burst into tears, feeling sorry for what he had done to his father. He lost his patience with his father when he was asked the same question for the fourth time. However, compared with him, his father was patient even though he asked even 23 times. By comparison, the son began to reflect on his own behavior, admitting his own mistake.Feeling ashamed, the son got down to his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him. The father gave him a hug and all old memories came crowding in. It was his father that showed great concern about him. Never would he forget the days when his father used to attend to him with great care and love. How lucky he was to be blessed with such a great father! He promised that he would take care of his father the way he was treated by his father.【解析】这是一篇读后续写作文。

高考英语二轮复习专项能力提升练阅读理解文体分类练3说明文之科普知识类
文体分类练(三) 说明文之科普知识类(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023浙江湖州、衢州、丽水二模)In countries around the world,women do more unpaid labor—housework,child and elder care,and the mental load of managing a family than men.New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them.An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally,which is published this month in TheLancet(柳叶刀)PublicHealth,found that the more of this labor women do,the worse their mental health.The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men.Housework and child care,the research found,have much less of an impact on men’s mental health.That’s probably because they do so much less of it.In the United States,women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day,pared with 2.8 hours for men,according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.In Greece,women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half.Even in the most genderequal countries,like Sweden,women do 50 minutes more a day than men.It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally lesstimesensitive.For example,men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks,like mowing the lawn,that are done less often and on their own schedule.Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times,like preparing meals or cleaning up.Social expectations probably also play a role.Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean,for instance,and feel judged if they don’t.Men,on the other hand,are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment.The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be wele.1.Howdoestheauthorshowtheresearchfindingsinparagraphs2and3?A.By giving examples.B.By listing figures.C.By making analysis.D.By telling stories.2.What does the underlined word “timesensitive” mean in paragraph 4?A.Flexible.B.Valuable.C.Demanding in timing.D.Challenging in skills.3.What can we learn from paragraph 5?A.Women are generally expected to do more household labor.B.Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean.C.Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist.D.Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework.4.What is the text mainly about?A.Facts that men and women are unequal.B.Bad effects that housework has on women.C.Responsibilities that women share in families.D.Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally.Passage2(2023浙江宁波二模)Humans are not the animal kingdom’s only fashionistas.Tits(山雀) can be fashion followers,too,apparently.A latest study shows that,given the chance,they decoratetheir nests with this season’s musthave colour.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin were following up on a study published in 1934 by HenrySmith Williams,an American naturalist.He noticed that when he put various colouredballs of yarn (纱) out in his garden,almost always one and only one became popularthat s eason for being included into local birds’ nests.But which particular colour was favoured varied from season to season.This suggested that the colour chosen byone of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.Williams’s work was,however,forgotten u ntil they came across it while followingup on a different study,published by a team at the University of Toulouse,suggesting fashionfollowing,too.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin therefore set out to rerun Williams’s experiment,but this time to collect some actual numbers.The birds they followed were part of a wellmonitored population of blue tits in a wood near the institute.Most birds in this wood carried tracking devices fitted to them after their capture in mist nets.That allowed the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by recording their arrival at foodcontainers throughout the wood.Instead of food,these containers were loaded with wool of different colours.Interestingly,researchers soon found that most nests of bluetits included only the colour of the wool first chosen by a nestbuilder.Tits,then,do seem to be “on trend”,when it es to nestbuilding materials.Whythat should happen remains obscure.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin suspect the fashion leaders are older birds,and that evolution favours younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit.Williams’s original work,though,suggests such initial choices are at

categorization tests that highlevel thinking would not aid in solving.Instead,the pigeons,by trial and error,eventually were able to memorize enough situations in thetest.This basic process of making associations—considered a lowerlevel thinking technique—is the same between the testtaking pigeons and the latest AI advances.The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning:one declarative learning,is based on exercising reason according to a set of rules or strategies—a socalled higher level of learning owned mostly by people.The other,associative learning,centers on recognizing and making connections between objects orpatterns,such as “skyblue” and “waterwet”.Wasserman’s team designed a difficult test to find out whether the pigeons use declarative or associative learning.Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus (刺激)and had to decide,by pecking(啄) a button on the right or on the left,to which category that stimulus belonged.What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task.They have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur.Over hundreds of tests,the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right.“The pigeons are like AI masters,” Wasserman says.“Both of them employ associative learning,and yet that baselevel thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully.”If people were to take the same test,they’d score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies.Those rules would get in the way of learning.The pigeon doe sn’t have that highlevel thinking process.But it doesn’t get in the way of their learning.Infact,in some ways it facilitates it.“People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm (算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says,“yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals,it is discounted as inflexible and unplicated.”9.Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning?A.Tom refuses to put hands on hot stoves after burns.B.Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves.C.Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies.D.Emily figures out math problems with logic.10.How did the pigeons improve their performance in the test?A.By pecking the stimuli.B.By finding rules or logic.C.By peting with each other.D.By making numerous attempts.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.AI and man use the same learning pattern.B.Associative learning is underestimated.C.People think highly of declarative learning.D.Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms.12.Which can be a suitable title of the text?A.Pigeon’s Peck Can Mirror High TechB.AI Contributes to a New Learning PatternC.AI Can Enrich Human Learning ExperienceD.Pigeon’s Learning Largely Extends High Tech答案：文体分类练(三) 说明文之科普知识类Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

Hello, everyone! Today the number of the netizens in our country has increased rapidly, yet many of them do not pay enough attention to the family.

Meanwhile, it can help us learn what is happening both at home and abroad. However, no matter how attractive the Internet is, we shouldn’t be separated from our loved ones. Therefore, just for a moment, we should stop surfing the Internet and spend time with our families, enjoying the time when we are together. So just remember this: don’t let the keyboard separate you and your loved ones.
Please take action! That’s all. Thank you!

version:
Dear John,
This summer I will go to study at London University, but I don't know how to adapt myself to the new life.
I hear that many freshmen are at a loss what to do when they are in a foreign country. Feeling lonely and homesick, they find it much harder to get used to the new culture, diet and climate. Most of them can't take good care of themselves in their everyday life. Besides, it is difficult to find a satisfying host and fully understand what the teachers teach in class since they speak English all the time.
Could you tell me how to deal with these problems so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future?
Yours,
Li Hua

【书面表达参考范文】
I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can't accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a day's hard work.. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. Now we
have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or science.。
