2015届高考英语二轮专题训练精华：阅读理解（1）AI’m not so sure I like my friends any more.I used to like them—to be honest.We’d have lunch,talk on the phone or exchange e-mails,and they all seemed normal enough.But then came Facebook,and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook.No longer hidden,they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials—unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.Take Fred.If you were to have lunch with him,you’d find him warm,and down-to-earth.Read his Facebook and you will realize he’s an unbearable,food-obsessed bore.He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man—and then write about it.Take Andy.You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere,but now he’s a CEO without a company to run.So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook.He’s doing well—level 731.Thanks to Facebook,I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day.Andy,you’ve run four companies—and this is how you spend your downtime?What happened to golf?What happened to getting another job?Take Liz.She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it.Then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find,so I get to read his thoughts twice,once on Facebook and once on Twitter.In real life,I don’t see these sides of people.Face to face,my friends show me their best.They’re nice,smart people.But face to Facebook,my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.I’m left with a dilemma.Who is my real friend?Is it the smart Andy or the game addict Andy on Facebook?Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?1.What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?A.He’s running his company.B.He’s playing golf all day.C.He’s looking for another job.D.He’s playing computer games.答案:D解析:细节理解题。

高考英语二轮复习阅读理解拉分题（较难题目）特训：新闻广告类1Taiwanese fishing boats that sailed to the Diaoyu Islands to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the islands completed their voyage Tuesday morning and have set sail for home.Local media reported that the boats finished their protest at 9:15 a.m. and are expected to return to a port in northeast Taiwan's Yilan county at noon Wednesday.Although the boats originally numbered 75，they were joined at sea by other boats from different parts of Taiwan, raising the total number to about 100 vessels. Organizers said the voyage was made to protect Taiwanese fishing rights in nearby waters and to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the Diaoyu Islands. The Japanese government announced a plan to "purchase" part of the islands earlier this month despite repeated protests from the Chinese government. The action aroused demonstrations across China as well as consumers' boycott of Japanese products in recent weeks. Local authorities in Taiwan have also protested the move."Japan's purchase and nationalization of China's Diaoyu Islands is putting China-Japan e conomic and trade ties at risk due to man-made factors." An official spokesman from Beijing warned .China-Japan economic and trade relations was back on track in 1952 when the two countries signed their first non-governmental trade agreement. Currently, China has been Japan's largest trade partner since 2007 while Japan is China’s fourth largest trade partner, after the EU, U.S. and the ASEAN. Meanwhile, China is the biggest destination for Japanese exports and biggest source of imports. In the first half of 2012, Japan's exports to China totaled 73.54 billion U.S. dollars, down 6.2 percent from the same period last year, while its import from China was 91.29 billion U.S. dollars, up 7 percent from the same period last year.Now, China-Japan economic and trade relations are at a crossroads. Negotiation could be the way out of the rift.41. Where can you probably find this passage?A. MagazineB. Scientific reportC. NewspaperD. Textbook42. Which of the following is NOT the result of Japan's move to purchase the islands?A. Opposition from Chinese government.B. Nationwide demonstrations were carried out in China.C.Fishing boats organized by Taiwan government sailed to the islands to protest.D. Chinese consumers refused to buy products imported from Japan.43. Why are China-Japan economic and trade relations a t a crossroads?A. Because Taiwan fishing boats sailed to the islands to protest Japan.B. Because Taiwanese are deprived of their fishing right.C. Because Japan is not China's largest trade partner.D. Because Japan announced to purchase China's Diaoyu Islands.44. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. About 100 boats joined the original team later.B. Negotiation will bring both countries out of the conflict.C. Japan's exports to China totaled 78 billion U.S. dollars in 2011.D. Japan's purchase of Diaoyu Islands will probably have a negative effect on its export and import with China.45. What is the main idea of this passage?A.

China plays an important part in Japan's economy development.2Sudden oak death arrived in Britain from America, where it removed the oak population, just under a decade ago via imported plants.In Britain the disease jumped to rhododendrons (杜鹃花) and Japanese larch trees. In the last year it has taken hold along the west of the country in larch plantations. Already 4 million trees have been felled or marked for destruction.More are expected to be chopped down in the coming years because the warmer, wetter conditions expected with climate change encourage the spread of the disease.In the latest cull (剔除), a landown er in Somerset was forced to cut down 50,000 trees, while the National Trust chopped down 10,000 larch trees in the area. Landowners face crippling costs for felling sick trees.Philip Chambers said that landowners had been forced to pay to chop down larch trees even though the timber was worth very little. He compared the situation to the foot and mouth crisis when farmers were forced to cull their cows to stop the disease spreading. “It is for trees wh at foot and mouth was for cows, except there is no compensation (补偿) for the landed gentry,” he said.Experts from the Forestry Commission are carrying out inspections across Britain and will order a cull wherever the disease is found.It takes hold quickly, causing bleeding lesions, blackened or wilted leaves and, ultimately, death. It can also affect garden shrubs, such as rhododendron and camellia.Charlton Clark, of the commission, said landowners could be offered a small grant to pay for the culls. “The equivalent of 4, 400 football pitches of Japanese larch have so far been confirmed as infected with ramorum disease in the UK, and they either have been or will be felled to prevent the disease from spreading,” he said.There is no known cure for the disease and Mr Clark warned that Japanese larch could be wiped out in the South West.1. What caused a lot of oak trees in Britain to be cut down?A. The disease sudden oak death.B. Imported plants from America.C. The extremely bad weather.D. The warmer, wetter conditions.2. The underlined words “4 million trees” probably refer to.A. oaksB. rhododendronsC. larchesD. camellias3. The disease has caused.A. the larch plantations to disappear for everB. the climate to change a lotC. landowners to lose heavilyD. the government to pay large compensation4. From the passage we can learn.A. the disease is spreading quickly in BritainB. British experts has nothing to do about the diseaseC. garden shrubs are not affected by the disease at allD. the cure for the disease has been found3阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2015届高考英语二轮复习优化训练：阅读理解A(2014·西安模拟) If you’re a dog lover, you probably know aboutthe Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held annually inNew York City, the event attracts thousands of dogs andtheir handlers, each competing for the top prize, Bestin Show. Westminster is so popular that some peoplecall it a Canine(犬科)Super Bowl.But did you know that lots of smaller—and verydifferent—dog shows take place each year across the country? One of them was held recently in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the Pals and Paws Agility Trial.About 100 dogs took part in the three-day event, held March 8—10 at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. In a dog contest, dogs compete on an obstacle course. They run through tunnels, weave through poles and jump through hoops and over hurdles. Handlers direct the dogs through obstacles. Dogs are judged on how long it takes them to complete the obstacle course and how well they perform each of the challenges. Ribbons and titles are awarded as dogs complete different events.Dog agility(灵活)is a popular sport, widely practiced around the world. Participants say it strengthens the bond between handler and dog while providing exercise for both.Does your dog have what it takes to compete? Liz McGuire says preparation is key. “You can keep your dog in condition by exercising them and feeding them the right foods, ”she said. “The dog has to train, sort of like a football player. ”McGuire competes in agility trials with five Australian shepherds(牧羊人).Suzanne Wesley’s gray poodle(狮子狗), Raya, was in top shape at the Jacksonville event: Raya won the Agility Dog Champion title. It is one of the competition’s highest awards. Other owners and dogs taking part in the trialsincluded Terry Herman and her miniature poodle, Idgie, and Stuart Mah with his four-year-old border collie, Ares.For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. He has a pug named Bessie, but he doesn’t compete. What did Moore like most about the Jacksonv ille event? “Seeing everyone try their best, even the dogs! ”【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道, 介绍流行在美国佛罗里达州的Pals and Paws Agility Trial大赛的情况。

专题限时训练(三十)[时闻型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)As Apple tries to maintain its growth and success in China, the world's largest smart phone market is becoming even more critical. Apple's shares(股份) fell sharply as the company's earnings for the holiday quarter through December disappointed investors.The sales of the iPhone, which included both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple was known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.Some analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.But Apple says it's already enjoying strong growth in China. “We saw big growth in iPhones，” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said. He said that the company had been quickly expanding its sales channels in China, including the number of Apple stores. “This isn't nearly what we need; we're not even close to that, but we're making great progress，” he said.In China, a big missing piece for Apple is China Mobile Ltd, the biggest local telecom carrier that doesn't yet sell the iPhone. Earlier this month, Mr Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone.Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was working on a lowerend iPhone that could launch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that lowpriced Androidbased phones are getting better in terms of quality.

The province will allow these children to sit gaokao and compete with local residents in college entrance exams starting in 2016. Luo Weiqi said the restrictions would be relaxed gradually and “step by step” as the province must solve the conflict between its gigantic migrant population and a scarcity of education resources.Migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.China's hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. A regulation in 2003 amended this by allowing migrant workers' children to receive the nine-year compulsory education in cities where their parents worked.Official figures show that China has more than 250 million farmersturnedworkers living in cities. An estimated 20 million children have migrated with their parents to the cities.1．What's the best title of this passage?A．China's educational reform on the wayB．Migrants' dreams come trueC．Reform plans published for migrant children's educationD．Migrants ask for equal rights in education2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Beijing，Shanghai and Guangdong took the lead in making plans for migrant children's education.B．There are altogether 13 provinces and municipalities that have made plans for migrant children's education.C．Beijing will allow migrant workers' children to enter all the local schools in 2013.D．Migrant workers' children began to receive senior high school education in cities where their parents worked in 2003.3．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “confine”？A．Limit.

I once asked my readers in the Chicago Sun-Times to name the person to whom they would say “I owe you one.” Victor La Porte, 45, wrote to me from his hospital bed about his kid brother, Tony.For three years, Victor had been terribly sick. His arms were black and blue. His kidneys(肾) had failed，and dialysis(透析) wasn't working. Victor was dying.Doctors said a transplant would help, and Tony kept offering his kidney, but Victor refused. He didn't want to put his brother through the pain or the risk of living with one kidney.Tony insisted, “Hey, I love you，” he kept saying. Transplant doctors explained the reason why God gave us two kidneys is that we can offer one. It took a long time to persuade Victor, but finally he agreed. Several times the brothers went to the hospital, only to have the operation put off because of Victor's infections(感染). But Tony never thought of backing out.After each disappointment, he announced, “We're coming back！”He even got Victor a Tshirt that read I'M NO QUITTER.Finally the operations were arranged.The one on Tony was harder. Doctors had to remove part of his rib to get the kidney out. His recovery took longer than Victor's, and he had more pain.Victor wrote, “Because of Tony's unselfishness, I have a chance to see my four children grow up.I'll never know my brother's pain, fears and feelings.All I know is the love we share. How can I tell him thanks? Maybe by letting everyone know that I have the greatest brother in the world.”9.
