专题05-高考英语真题分类拔高练习-阅读理解-社会生活类(原卷版)

高考英语真题【阅读理解】分类拔高练习05社会生活1.（2014·辽宁）阅读理解(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move? A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one. Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.（1）You will get annoyed in a theater when .A.a person is too activeB.a person is too rude to youC.a person talks too loudlyD.a person sits too close to you（2）How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A.By making fun of him continuously.B.By looking purposefully at him.C.By talking to him directly.D.By pointing angrily at him.（3）The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means .A.predictedB.returnedC.cancelledD.delayed（4）What is the passage mainly about?A.Modern ways to mind your manners.B.Different ways to change others' manners.C.Proper manners to offer help to others.D.Good manners to talk to people.2.（2014·上海）阅读理解Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and thereward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?（1）Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A.Pick a new cue.B.Form a new habit.C.Choose a new reward.D.Design a new resolution.（2）According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A.changing the routineB.trying it for a weekC.adjusting your goalD.writing it down（3）What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A.To test out different kinds of cues.B.To do something as a habit even without rewards.C.To work out the best New Year's resolution.D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.（4）“This year when I see the Harry Potter post er, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A.The Harry Potter poster.B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C.An English newspaper.D.Watching TV for half an hour.3.（2014·重庆）阅读理解It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers toourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character --- we infer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: “We are what we pretend t o be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”（1）According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _______.A.determine one's behaviorB.reflect one's tasteC.influence one's surroundingsD.result from one's habits（2）Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A.The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.B.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C.One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D.One buys latte out of love of coffee.（3）What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions.B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D.Our characters can shape our social relationships.（4）What does the author mainly discusses in the passage?A.Personalities and attitudes.B.Preferences and habits.C.Behavior and personalities.D.Attitudes and preferences.4.（2014·北京）阅读理解MultitaskingWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't touch what you can't afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.（1）According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.attractive window display.（2）E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A.as how the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB.urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC.push stores to use sights and soundsD.introduce the rise of e-commerce（3）The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .A.a platform that exhibits goodsB.a spot where travelers like to stayC.a place where customers love to goD.a target that a store expects to meet（4）The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .pare and evaluateB.examine and assessC.argue and discussrm and explain。

高考英语任务型阅读信息分类与整合练习题30题

高考英语任务型阅读信息分类与整合练习题30题1<背景文章>In today's digital age, technology has had a profound impact on education. The integration of technology in the classroom has transformed the way students learn and teachers teach. Online learning platforms, educational apps, and virtual reality tools are just some of the ways technology is enhancing the educational experience.One of the major benefits of technology in education is its ability to provide personalized learning. With the help of adaptive learning software, students can receive customized lessons based on their individual needs and learning styles. This not only helps students learn at their own pace but also increases their engagement and motivation.Another advantage of technology in education is its accessibility. Students can access educational resources from anywhere in the world, at any time. This has opened up new opportunities for learning and has made education more inclusive.Technology has also made it easier for teachers to track student progress and provide feedback. With the use of learning management systems, teachers can monitor student performance, identify areas of weakness, and provide targeted interventions.However, like any tool, technology also has its limitations. One of the challenges of using technology in education is the digital divide. Not all students have access to the same technology resources, which can lead to inequalities in education. Another concern is the potential for distraction. With the availability of social media and other online distractions, students may find it difficult to focus on their studies.Despite these challenges, technology is here to stay and will continue to shape the future of education. As educators, it is our responsibility to ensure that technology is used effectively to enhance the learning experience and not become a distraction.1. Technology in education can provide ___.A. traditional learning methodsB. one-size-fits-all lessonsC. personalized learningD. limited educational resources答案：C。

高考英语练习题——阅读理解题型分类练(十)

阅读理解题型分类练(十)词句猜测题——词义猜测类A[2021·临沂市高三一模] I had moved to Japan for a longterm client consultingengagement. After a few days in a Tokyo hotel I moved to an apartment. After being moved in by my colleagues, it was time to get dinner. I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan. The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.Unfortunately, after 45 minutes no pizza. I figured that my “easy” call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner. While thinking about what to do next, my phone rang. It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them. Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address, the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window. After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.A few minutes later the pizza arrived. This is when my “customer delight” experience took__over. First, the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late, then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address, and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late. Net result: one delighted customer(me) , and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my twoyear stay in Japan.Such “customer delight” experiences become stories I have used to illustrate what it means to truly delight a customer.1．What did the writer do first after he moved in the apartment?A．Deliver flyers.B．Place an order.C．Call his colleagues.D．Set about unpacking.2．Why was the delivery delayed?A．The number on the flyer was inaccurate.B．The clerk was unfamiliar with the address.C．The writer provided an inaccurate address.D．The pizza was sent to a wrong address.3．Which of the following best explains “took over” underlined in Paragraph 3?A．Disappeared. B．Dominated.C．Promoted. D．Decreased.4．What can we learn from the story?A．It's never easy to settle down in a new city.B．A delayed delivery may result in good profit.C．One can't be too careful when placing an order.D．A shortterm loss of benefit may reward a lot.B[2021·潍坊市一模] A new study, published this week in the journal Frontiers inVeterinary Science, reveals that nonhuman animals' tears are not so different from our own. The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments—may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels, and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time, focusing on seven species.Tears, which are released from tear tubes, form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients: mucus, water, and oil. The mucus coats the eye's surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the expression “crocodile tears”，which refers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating(润滑) and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea (角膜) , the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood tubes, he says.Learning how reptiles and birds use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.5．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The source of tears.B．The composition of tears.C．The classification of tears.D．The definition of tears.6．What does the underlined word “phony” in Paragraph 4 mean ?A．Tricky. B．Regretful.C．Cold. D．False.7．Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?A．Weeping contributes to eye disease.B．The cornea has rich blood tubes.C．Tears oil and clear the eyes.D．More tears mean better vision.8．What might be the best title for the text?A．Tears, a barrier to eyesB．A better treatment for eye diseaseC．Nonhuman tears promise new curesD．Other species' tears are similar to humans'C[2021·湖北高三十一校第二次联考] If you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of yourcar while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it's part of a fruit—right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturallyprocessed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that's a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, so do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longerlasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can't merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigaretterelated litter is discarded in the UK every day.It's not a cheap habit either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it's not surprising that if caught flytipping you could face a ￡20，000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2，000 were found guilty out of 825，000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules.9．What does the underlined word “ discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Longlasting.10．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Glass bottles. B．Tin cans.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.11．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The severity of rubbish can be measured only by its lifetime.B．Quite a few people were found guilty of illegally littering.C．Every year UK taxpayers spend ￡500 million keeping streets free of dirt.D．Cigaretterelated litter and peels can be ignored for their fairly short lifetime.12．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.B．To call for people not to litter illegally.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To stress the importance of good behavior.。

We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Vanilla. “You look very unhappy,” she said. “What’s wrong?” I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Vanilla had got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept in silent, but Vanilla didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to show you the right answers?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Vanilla had gone. And so had my exam paper!

She said with kindness, “Good afternoon, everybody!”“Where is everybody?”asked Donna. One student answered, “I’ve no idea. Maybe they’re l ate. Maybe...” Usually the class started with two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. Donna knew that the students didn’t like English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.Donna waited until all the students sat on the seats. Donna smiled and said, “Okay, well. Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying the usage (用法) of participlesused as adjectives. Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practise a lot. Today, we’re just going to practise the usage of present participle used as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces. Then she wrote three sentences on the blackboard.“The present participle tells us what kind of emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, when we say‘grammar is boring’, it means that the subject ― grammar ― causes an emotion of boredom. If we say ‘the movie is interesting’, we are saying t hat the movie causes a feeling of interest. And if we say ‘the roller coaster (过山车) is exciting’, we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Does anyone feel confused?”The classroom was quiet.

No matter which countryyou visit, no matter which grade you are in, you may not learn art, geography, chemistry or Chinese, but you always learn maths. Why is this so? How come so many students hate maths, and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?Jenny Sanders, a high school student in California, asks, “What good do we get from learning maths? We can use computers to compute numbers, and we can use computers to store information. I think learning maths at school is a waste of time.”However, there is much more to maths than just learning to add and subtract (减) numbers. In fact, maths is not so much about calculation as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems. Of course, Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations, but how would we even know how to use t he computer if we can’t think logically? In short, computers are only tools when solving problems.For example, imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests. How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)?
