落堕市安心阳光实验学校高考英语阅读理解冲刺练习33As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each othes Ner and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more ch ildren there are, the less question-asking there is. ”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child. ” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event. ”66. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______.A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems67. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______.A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family68. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children______.A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children69. Lew is’ research provides an answer to the question ______.A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life70. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. It is important to have the right food for children.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner答案 66.C 67.B 68.B 69.D 70.C。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解寓乐于练阅读理解(2013·重庆，E)It is idely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weatherspeak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English interest is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natur al phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weatherspeak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weatherspeak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, En glish weatherspeak is a means of social bonding.文章大意：本文为议论文，上来点题：英语对话往往从天气开始。

2013高考英语(阅读理解)考前冲刺训练(1) 及答案解析
2013高考英语（阅读理解）考前冲刺训练（1）及答案解析(第*＊*篇)Andrew Ritchie，inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle，once said that the perfect portable bike would be“ like a magic carpet。
.。
You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused：“ But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels。
And so far no one has invented a folding wheel。
"It was a rare—indeed unique-occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th—century inventor，William Henry James Grout，did in fact design a folding wheel。
His bike，predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag，a leather case。
Grout’s aim: to solve the problems of carry ing a bike on a train。
Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly，the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage：in Grout's day ，tyres were solid，which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple。

2013高考英语二轮阅读理解强化系列(09)及答案
2013高考英语二轮阅读理解强化系列（09）及答案A（·福建质量检测）As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we're to meet the world’s needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century，much like oil did in the last。
But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most。
And that’s only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities（设施) to bring it to market；the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied(液化的）natural gas (LNG)，are not nearly as developed。
So what needs to be done？On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow better development of their natural gas in an open，stable business environment，not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations，on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable (可持续的)development to ensure they’ll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities，including LNG stations. This，in turn，will require coastal areas to allow these necessary，but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.Expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security。

2013高考英语（阅读理解）考前冲刺训练（9）及答案解析(第***篇)Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime“ business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant(不相关的). A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work，school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits，or whether i t should become more“ flexible”， is often debated. How should we, as a society，organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the“law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with“extra pay for overtime working，” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a ma tterhave we ever thought to ourselves：“ Here is the law in action”？ As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compuls—as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work ，time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.[语篇解读] 文章通过开头句(Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.和过去相比，现在星期天倒更像星期一。
)表明了我们的生活由时间规律来支配。
1．By saying “Sunday is more like Monday that it used to be”，the writer means that________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on MondayC. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear[解析] 推理判断题。
第一段首句Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.是提纲挈领式的句子，后面紧接着举例论证了这一观点尤其是根据第一段最后一句可知我们上班时间和休息时间这两个界限的模糊性。
从而推断本题选择D。
[答案] D2．The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible working hours[解析] 推理判断题。
第二段主要论述时间规律问题，比如过去要求所有的商场星期天关门休业；过去除了夏季外，要求所有的学校所有季节全部开放，在很大程度上，今天商场不是关门休息，而是继续营业，学校继续上课，从而说明了人们没有意识到时间的自然规律问题。
因此答案选择C。
[答案] C3．According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they________.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law[解析] 事实细节题。
根据第三段We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours，a certain number of days，a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer，we may well think we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than the law.这句信息句分析得知，这里大部分的孩子认为他们必须上学的原因应该是服从父母而非遵守法律。
故选择B。
[答案] B4．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organize time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.[解析] 主旨大意题。
从头到尾，文章论述的是时间掌控我们的生活。
最后一句就是点睛之笔。
[答案] A*******************************************************结束(第****篇)Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy，野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access：walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter.Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world.Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.[语篇解读] 野营是人们感受自然的绝佳方式，既感受自然又不破坏自然，但我们需要知道该做什么和不该做什么事情。
