A(2019·云南第一次高中毕业生复习统一检测)It’s not what you look at that matters；it’s what you see.—Henry David ThoreauSlow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art, they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And th at’s an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That’s it.Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art.In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1，200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues(museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here’s a sample：“I loved taking the time to just‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It’s a much better way of visiting the art museum than the usual idle ra mble.Discussion afterwards was fun, interesting, informative and eyeopening.I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2019 is Saturday, April 14, in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.1．The author quotes Thoreau’s words at the beginning to ________．A．arouse readers’ interest in artB．introduce the topic of the textC．stress the importance of lookingD．illustrate the joy of art appreciation2．A typical slow art activity________．A．lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB．encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC．organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD．inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works3．What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A．The eighth Slow Art Day was held in 2019.B．It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C．It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D．Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1，200 different places.4．According to the text, the author________．A．has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB．strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC．sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD．is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsB(2019·黄岗检测)About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 or so hours each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.”Of course, trav eling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset (心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in__transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. Imeet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but wha t’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows：“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering... But suppose you could answer，‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’”Our generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons(视野). But I agree with Alan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizonexpansion wherever we happen to be. I think I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on my adventurer’s cap.5．According to the text, the author quit his job mainly because ________．A．it didn’t pay very wellB．Dusty advised him to do soC．he wanted to spend some time travelingD．he didn’t want to stay inside all day long6．What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A．What makes traveling so attractive.B．What is most important when traveling.C．How to find a new version of ourselves.D．How to spend an unforgettable holiday.7．The underlined words “in transit” in the third paragraph probably mean “________”．A．moving around B．working hardC．filled with curiosity D．full of enthusiasm8．What’s the best title for the text?A．An Exciting but Normal LifeB．Adventures in Our Own BackyardC．Go to Travel and Expand Your HorizonD．Get Outside and Explore for the UnknownC(2019·湖北八校高三第一次联考)I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony(殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs.Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came toMacao.Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a gi rls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.Mrs.Gutzlaff’s comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor.It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school.It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed.Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country than to allow me to attend an English school.Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth.I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learn English.In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school.As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.9．How was the author admitted to Mrs.Gutzlaff’s school?A．Through his father’s request.B．Through his father’s friend’s help.C．Through his own efforts to exams.D．Through Mrs.Gutzlaff’s influence.10．Why did the autho r’s parents put him into an English school?A．It met with Chinese public opinion.B．An English school was more influential.C．He could become a successful interpreter.D．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.11．What did the author think of his pare nts’ decision to put him into an English school?A．It was skeptical. B．It was wonderful.C．It was thoughtful. D．It was mysterious.12．What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?A．Results. B．Order.C．Tricks. D．Progress.D(2019·贵州普通高等学校招生适应性考试)Japan is a mysterious land of technological wonders, but the latest is a relatively simple solution to an age-old problem faced by beginners and professional chefs alike.Grocery stores across the country are about to s tart stocking onions that won’t make people cry.The new tear-free onion is called the Smile Ball, which is a pretty adorable name for a vegetable, and it’s an onion carefully engineered to not irritate(刺激) the eyes of people who cut into it.Regular onions release a gas when their cells are damaged and that gas irritates people’s eyes and makes them cry.The Smile Ball onions release no such a gas, so they can be chopped easily.They are also sweet like fruit when eaten raw.The scientific advancement of the tearless onion is not free, however.Smile Balls, developed by the Japanese producer House Foods, will cost about $ 4.30 for a pack of just two when they go on sale in supermarkets across Japan.That’s about double the cost of a normal onion, but it might be worth the extra money for those who are particularly sensitive to the traditional oniongas.Earlier test sales of the tear-free onions were held on Tokyo, with the onions selling out quickly.13．What can we learn about the Smile Ball?A．It never gives off a strong gas.B．It has a pretty look.C．It belongs to a new kind of fruit.D．It rarely goes bad.14．What’s mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A．How to produce tear-free onions.B．Tearless onions are more popular.C．The development of House Foods.D．People are sensitive to tearless onions.15．What can be the suitable title of the text?A．Say Goodbye to Regular OnionsB．Tear-free Onions vs Regular OnionsC．Onions That Don’t Make You CryD．The Future of Tear-free Onions第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For senior Chinese like him, whose children and grandchildren live far away, the Spring Festival is the traditional time when they can reunite and sit down together for dinner.Li loves his grandson and wants to surprise him with a newyear gift.He knows the child loves Peppa Pig but has no clue what it is. So he goes around the village, asking everyone if they know anything about Peppa Pig. Then using the little information he gets as well as his imagination, he welds (焊接) metal together to resemble the face of Peppa Pig though he has never seen it.The most touching thing for many viewers is the story of how a “left-behind” old man accomplishes an impossible task.“The grandfather doesn't stop or complain，” Ju Shiyi, a public relations manager said. “He asks as many people as he knows, analyzes their answers and works on them.”The British cartoon series has been popular in China as well since it began to be shown in the country in 2015. Both the series and related goods have a huge market in China, in cities as well as the countryside.“It is the first popular work with positive power to have gone viral in 2019，” Zhai Na, a TV producer said.4．What did Grandpa Li do to show his love for his grandson?A．He made a Peppa Pig for his grandson all by himself.B．He made up a story about Peppa Pig for his grandson.C．He bought a Peppa Pig for his grandson as a new-year gift.D．He cooked a big family reunion dinner without help.5．What can we infer about Grandpa Li?A．He's a stubborn old man.B．He does well in woodwork.C．He becomes annoyed easily.D．He's considerate towards the family.6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A．People.

But Americans do not support changing the genetic structure, or DNA of children so that they can be faster, taller or more intelligent.The research was carried out by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which suggests that 81% of Americans approve of using gene editing to prevent killer diseases such as Huntington's disease, and 65% agree to use gene editing to prevent conditions like blindness. However, 66% oppose using gene editing to change qualities such as intelligence or athletic ability. They are also against changing physical qualities such as eye color or height.Gene editing takes out a part of DNA to remove, replace or repair a gene. Changes to adult cells only affect the person being treated. But editing genes in embryos (胚胎) can change the resulting children in ways that can be passed to future generations. Due to its important effects, the International Council for Science says gene editing should not yet be tested on humans. Scientists say more laboratory research is needed to prove whether it is safe or not.Dr. Robert Klitzman, who studies biological research rules, noted that if fertility (生育) clinics start to edit the genes of embryos, there will be hard choices to make about what conditions can be changed. “It's one thing to look at the extremes of deadly diseases versus surface things, but in the middle are going to be these very different issues.” he said.The study suggests a lack of trust in the technology. Nearly 90% of the people in the study worry whether it will be used in a moral way.8．In which aspect do most Americans approve of using gene editing?A．Running swifter.B．Preventing deadly diseases.C．Changing eye color.D．Improving intelligence.9．What do we know about gene editing from the text?A．It tends to influence the future generations.B．It will become widely used in a moral way.C．It edits all parts of DNA in a new way.D．It has been tested safe to use on human beings.10．What is Dr. Robert's attitude to the use of gene-editing technology to create babies?A．Uninterested. B．Supportive.C．Cautious. D．Disappointed.11．From which is the text probably taken?A．A biology textbook. B．A social web page.C．A medicine brochure. D．A science report.D[2019·长沙一模]When she first started learning about the climate change from one of her elders, Fawn Sharp was invited on a helicopter flight over the Olympic Mountains to survey the Mount Anderson glacier. But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full-time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes (部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix — that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic (怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasn't going into environmental work —he was a computer-science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full-time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration (恢复) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for — a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planet — so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted，”she said. “The future isn't going to be what they imagined.”12．Why did the author mention the case of Fawn Sharp?A．To lay a basis for Fawn Sharp's further research.B．To prove Fawn Sharp's work is similar to Atkinson's.C．To lead into the issue of loss caused by climate change.D．To show scientists' concern about the Mount Anderson glacier.13．What's the main purpose of Atkinson's class?A．To explore how different people deal with climate change.B．To get students more concerned about the environmental issue.C．To find solutions to the environmental issue of OlympicMountains.14．Which of the following best explains “intractable” underlined in Paragraph Three?A．Simple. B．Difficult.C．Common. D．Interesting.15．How did Atkinson's class influence Dillon?A．It made him work as a part-time volunteer for restoration projects.B．It made him realize a planet-wide climate disaster would happen.C．It encouraged him to be more involved in environmental protection.D．It discouraged him to work on restoration projects for the environment.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高考英语二轮创新复习专题强化练(五)阅读理解之主旨大意题练习(含解析)
专题强化练(五)——阅读理解之主旨大意题(限时25分钟)对应学生用书(单独成册)第113页A(2020·郑州第二次质检)Something strange has been happening to me lately: Women in the street have been telling me I'm brave.My act of courage isn't much—I just stopped coloring my hair.I had brown hair that started going gray when I was 30.So，like a lot of women，I started dyeing(染)it.It was expensive and timeconsuming.And my hair grows fast，so I needed to go back to the hair salon(美发厅)every 5 weeks.Many people seem to enjoy holding onto their youth for as long as possible，giving others the impression that they don't have much wisdom or many accomplishments.But our hair starts to turn gray and suddenly we start spending $500 or more a year to cover something our male colleagues don't need to cover.Of course，people should do what they want to do with their own body—my mother is 91 and still has“blonde” hair，and why not？I just wish more of us would feel that it is OK to be ourselves，because going gray has done more for me than saving me time and money.I like my natural hair，just as it is.I like how it has got curly again.It is recovering after years of being damaged by chemicals.I also like that it has given me some needed attitude in a society that makes youth seem so important，while being against maturity.It reminds me that I'm not a kid anymore and this isn't a bad thing.Not being a kid anymore means I read the books I want，and not the books I feel I should read.It means not wasting my time at events I don't need to attend when I'd rather be with my family and friends.When I see my hair in the mirror，it's a reminder that my time is limited，and I should spend it doing what matters.There's nothing shameful about growing older.And pretending it's not happening is a way of giving up our power.I see my gray hair as a little act of rebellion(反叛)against the idea that people lose value as they age，instead of gaining it.I see gray hair as my “flag” and I'm letting it fly proudly.[语篇解读] 在文章开头，作者叙述了自己虽然头发变白但不再染发，从而受到别人的好评的经历，接着表达了自己对变老的看法。

A[2019·湖北八校联考]Crazy-Creative Traditions in SchoolsHere are a few schools' crazy-creative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.Attire (服装) and Flowers at College of CharlestonYou fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos (无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It's also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage: women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere (胸花). So classy!Hoop Rolling at Wellesley CollegeThis all-women's college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it's now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness... that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New HampshireYou'll absolutely love this tradition. UNH's vendor provides wrinkle-resistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment.体裁：应用文题材：学校生活主题：大学的疯狂创意传统【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了三所国外的学校的一些有趣的、新奇的、富有创意的传统。

B[2019·绵阳市诊断]When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed.All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I goingto say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!My confidence soared (高涨). This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind on doing something, I could achieve it.体裁：记叙文题材：个人经历主题：去掉自行车稳定轮【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者小时候迟迟不敢去掉自行车的稳定轮，在学校“自行车安全日”来临之前因为害怕同学看见她的稳定轮而最终下决心去掉它们。
