中考英语语篇组合特训十一(哲理故事＋梦中的纸船＋合适的工作&大数据)一、阅读理解(2021解析与检测改编)A university teacher stood before his class and had some items(物品) in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a very large and empty jar and went on to fill it with tennis balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The teacher then picked up a box of small pebbles(鹅卵石) and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles fell into the open areas between the tennis balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.The teacher next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded(回应) with “Yes”. The teacher then took two cans of beer from under the table and poured the beer into the jar, filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.“Now, I want you to know that this jar stands for your life. The tennis balls are the important things—your family, your partner, your children, your health, your friends, and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other big things that matter—like your job, your house and your car.”“The sand is everything else—the small things.” He continued, “If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the tennis balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small things, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are important to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checks. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be time to clean the house. Take care of the tennis balls first—the things that really matter. The rest is just sand.”()1. 【排序】Which is the right order for the teacher to fill the jar?a. A box of sand.b. Two cans of beer.c. Tennis balls.d. A box of pebbles.A. bacdB. adcbC. dabcD. cdab()2.

passage11-2021高考英语阅读理解长难句精读与概要写作专练Passage 11The influence of social media on children1 Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth, amajor study warned.2 It found many youngsters now measure their status by how much public approval they getonline, often through “likes”. 3 Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on theweb.4 The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children’s CommissionerAnne Longfield. 5 She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online.6 Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13.7 The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then messaging friends—and friends of friends—to deman d “likes” for their online posts.8 The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly, and around the clock.9 Children aged 8 to 10 were “starting to feel happy” when others liked their posts. 10 However, those in the 10 to 12 age group were “concerned with how many people like their posts”,suggesting a “need” for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become.11 Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up “worried about their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media”.12 She said, “Children are using socia l media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school. But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school.”13 As their world expanded, she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way that was “hugely damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves”.14 Miss Longfield added, “Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline, will you miss something, will you miss out, will you show that you don’t care about those people you are following, all of those come together in a huge way at once.”15 “For children it is very, very difficult to cope emotionally.” The Children’s Commissioner for England’s study—Life in Likes—found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.16 However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12—suggested that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.1718 However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities or more brilliant friendsonline. 19 The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones.20 The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield they faced online.21 And she said social media companies must also “take more responsibility”. 22 They should either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users.23 Javed Khan, of children’s charity Barnardo’s, said, “It’s vital that new compulsory age- appropriate relationship and sex educ ation lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social med ia.”24“It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.”一．单词和短语Words and expressionsself-worth /?self ?w?:θ/n. 自我价值感youngster /?j??st?/ n. 年轻人commissioner /k??mn?/ n. 专员; 委员ill-equipped /??l??kw?pt/ adj. 装备不良的tremendous /tr??mend?s/ adj. 巨大的; 极好的supposedly /s??p??z?dl?/ adv. 据称; 据传around the clock 昼夜不停地mean-spirited /?mi:n?sp?r?t?d/ adj.小气的; 小心眼的incompetence /?n?k?mp?t?ns/ n. 不胜任minefield /?ma?nfi?ld/ n. 布雷区; 充满隐伏危险的事物sign up 签约参加；报名参加charity /?t??r?t?/ n. 慈善；施舍；慈善团体二．参考译文Translation社交媒体对孩子的影响1一项重要的研究警告称，年仅10岁的儿童为了获得自我价值感而变得依赖社交媒体。

【状元之路】2014-2015学年高中英语语篇提能11 新人教版必修2 阅读理解AWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If a part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had developed software that made surfing the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending emails is more and more popular among students.The Internet now becomes one of the most important parts of people's life.1．How long does the Internet exist?A. About 10 years.B. About 20 years.C. About half a century.D. About a century.答案与解析 C 细节理解题。
(浙江专用)2021版高考语文二轮复习考前三个月第一章核心题点精练专题三文学类文本阅读精练十一分析句
核心题点精练十一分析句段作用与考察全文构造思路相比，命题者更喜欢切口小关联大的考察方式，即考生最常见到的句段作用题。
考生答复这类试题也知道考虑、答题的方向与角度，可是贴标签、说套话问题很严重。
究其原因，是未把握住句段的特点，从根本上说是考生对文本，尤其是对所给的句段阅读不够、不愿深化考虑。
阅读下面的文字，完成文后题目。
钟摆约翰和凯蒂结婚两年以来，从没别离过一晚上。
他目瞪口呆地把字条读了又读。
一成不变的日常生活起了曲折，竟然使他不知所措了。
她吃饭时经常穿着的那件红底黑点晨衣软绵绵无精打采地搭在椅背上。
匆忙之中她把平日穿的衣服扔得东一件西一件的。
一个装着她爱吃的黄油硬糖的小纸袋丢在那里，包扎绳松开着。
一张日报铺在地板上，上面的火车时刻表被剪掉了，留下了一个长方形的口子，就像一个张开的大嘴。
屋子里每一样东西都说明一种缺损，说明灵魂和生命的离去。
约翰·帕金斯站在没有生气的遗物中间，心头涌起一阵莫名的哀伤。
他着手拾掇屋子，并尽可能布置得干净整洁。
当他触摸到凯蒂的衣服时，他感到有一股恐惧之感悄悄袭上心头。
他从来不曾想过，假设没有凯蒂，生活会变成什么样子。
她已经完全成为他生活的依恋，就像他呼吸的空气——时刻都不能缺少，但自己竟然一直没有发觉。
如今，她没有预先通知就走了，消失得无影无踪，就好似她从来不曾存在似的。
当然这持续不了几天时间，充其量也不过一两个星期，但这对于他来说，就仿佛是死亡之手已向他伸出，威胁着他宁静和谐的家庭生活。
他的家庭已是风雨飘摇。
一个扁桃腺化脓的丈母娘把他的家庭守护神和家财统统赶到了九霄云外。
约翰从冰箱里取出冷藏羊肉，煮了一些咖啡，孤零零地坐下来吃饭。
这顿凄凉清冷的晚餐过后，约翰坐到了窗前。
他没有心思抽烟。
窗外的城市，灯火璀璨，人声鼎沸，召唤着他出去寻欢作乐。
夜晚是属于他的。
他可以不受盘问地出去，像任何一个逍遥自在的单身汉那样，无拘无束地寻欢作乐。
只要他快乐，他可以痛饮，游荡，尽情玩到天亮；不会有怒气冲冲的凯蒂在等着他，扫他的兴。
