2016届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解
2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解AThe original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn't be enough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called "Disneyland."The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a 160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard.Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to open.Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park. However, when the real designing came around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you make believable wild animals, that aren't real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for answers. The design of Disneyland was something never done before. There would be four uniquely different theme parts: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland Tomorrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.But opening day was a terrible disaster. Besides the terrible opening day conditions, the park did eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come through the gates.36. The passage is mainly about___________.A. How Disneyland came into beingB.

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.43. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycl e, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem44. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.45. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.A. in the short termB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end46. . In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistakeDThe campaign is over. The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesn’t have to be e verybody’s role model anymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obama’s victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.However, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America’s racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phi llips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.“When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Ba rak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world.”47. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, __________.A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacksB. blacks could only find role models on the basketball courtC. minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real lifeD. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. According to Bill Bank, ____________.A. it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to themB. young blacks should not be so much influenced by ObamaC. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their realityD. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans49. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The First African-American PresidentB. America’s New R ole ModelC. Obama-- A Successful Black .D. Choosing a Right Role Model50. What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the end of the passage?A. The other three leaders all support Obama.B. Obama is an African-American president.C. None of the four leaders is white.D. The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.A. ACDBB. ABDC. CACDD.

第1讲细微环节理解题（二）细微环节理解题(二)A(2016·山西四校高三第三次联考)World Book Day is a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy－dress parades(游行) and a ￡1 book token(购书券) given to all school children under 18. It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March, 2016 children of all ages in the U．K. will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the U．K. never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes's Paris for One is a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one.Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago—but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night—he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.体裁：说明文题材：介绍说明主题：《银河快速阅读》系列语篇导读：有些书让不擅长阅读的读者望而却步。

山西太原市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解能力演练（2）及答案[2014·高三年级考试]My name is Megan Grattan，a resident of Cedar Springs for over fifteen years。
From the beginning of my first high school year at Cedar Springs High School，I wished for something different. I met some foreign exchange students in my school that year。
Their stories were my inspiration to pursue a crazy dream. I wanted to be an exchange student，too。
I wanted to experience something new every day and to learn a new language and a new way of life。
After a year and a half of paperwork and e.mails，I am now living in Aalborg，Denmark。
It is the fourth largest city in Denmark。
Aalborg is nothing like Cedar Springs。
Here, I have learned how to use a bus to get into town and how to walk to a convenience store for things I need. I even walk to school every day. While adjusting to a six.hour time difference from home, I have to get used to darkness setting in only around 4 p．m..Christmas in Denmark has been absolutely incredible. Aalborg Downtown has endless shops along streets for foottraffic only, all decorated in lights and flowers throughout the season. The greatest thingabout my Danish Christmas was the food. Christmas Eve and the three Christmas days were all filled with food! My host family and I had several dinners that consisted of pork，duck，potatoes, gravy and much more. The rice pudding, or, ris ala mande, is a unique dessert in Aalborg. One of my favorite Christmas treats was definitely aebleskiver which are pancakelike balls that are dipped(浸)in sugars and jam。

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimpse into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-g rain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.【文章大意】运动员的成长不仅需要锻炼, 还需要营养, 合理膳食也至关重要。

It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhat different.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩 ) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to the St. Alban neighborhood,feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a successonly in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at homeand put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, andvirtual work becomes reality.41.The underlined word "revolutionize" in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to "________".A. createB. changeC. copyD. cover42.Which is TRUE about the Life Clipper?A.It is a small camera.B.It was invented by Jan Torpus.C.The science-fiction style visor is a part of it.D.Tourists can have a totally virtual tour with it.43.Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.A.the history of virtual tourismB.the advantages of virtual tourismC.the ways of attracting more touristsD.how to operate Life Clipper44.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Tourists can get used to seeing the world on their own once equipped.B.Tourists can touch what they see through the visor.C.Life Clipper can make tourists see images of ancient times.D.Life Clipper has been used in other areas of our lives.45.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Virtual tourism is more popularB.Virtual tourism is more fantasticC.What the future of virtual tourism will beD.Virtual tourism is born【参照答案】 41-45 BCDCD该篇为说明文。

You know how wonderful you are，and youknow that others know how wonderful youare，but what do you do when admirationcrosses over the line into jealousy？For mostteens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but thegood news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil yourrelationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normalmuch sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you(unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just takesome time alone with them and let them know that you've beenfeeling like there's been something coming between you.If theyrefuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any timewith you because of your being off with your new friends from theswim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time orblock off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and seehow that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If youcan't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.【语篇解读】本文是关于人际关系的话题。

A(2015·淮安市第二次调研测试)Fuel Cell Technology for CarsFill her up with hydrogen? That’s what some California motorists may be saying soon，as car makers try to speed up production of zero emission(零排放) cars to meet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking Hondas FCX Concept Vehicle sits an electro-chemical reactor：a hand-built，astronomically expensive power_plant known as a fuel cell.It’s expected to be running ordinary family cars on California’s roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell，anyway? Why are governments，private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels，the only by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water.To be more technical about it，a hydrogen atom with its one electron，attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane(膜) to unite with an oxygen atom.The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton(质子) to pass through，forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side.This creates electricity，water，and heat，but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen，it has the potential to be up to 80-percent efficient.That is，it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy.However，we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work.This is accomplished by the electric motor.A reasonable number for the efficiency of the motor is about 80 percent.So we have 80-percent efficiency in generating electricity，and 80percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power.That gives an overall efficiency of about 64 percent.Honda’sFCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60-percent energy efficiency，which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars.But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly，the way customers expect it to work.There are challenges in using new fuels，and providing the new fuel basic facilities.And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road，there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up with the flammable gas，under 36hundred pounds of pressure.”【解题导语】本文主要讲的是未来的新能源汽车的一些情况。
1．What can be inferred from California’s “zero emissions policy”？A．New cars with fuel cell technology will surely become much cheaper.B．By carrying out the policy，traffic will not be so busy as it is now.C．The quality of life in California will improve once this policy is in effect.D．With facilities of new kinds，more local employment will be created.解析：选C。
推理判断题。
如果汽车零排放政策生效后，那么市民的生活质量一定会提高，因为污染减少了，故答案选C。

词义猜测题。
根据句子结构可知，power plant就是指的后面的fuel cell(燃料电池)，还有下段中A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.故据此推断答案选A，一个发电装置。
3．One of the reasons why fuel cell powered vehicles are superior is that________．A．they give out almost no water or heatB．they run faster and more smoothlyC．they give out almost no noiseD．they turn 64% of the energy into electricity解析：选C。
细节理解题。
根据第三段中的Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.可知答案选C，燃料电池发电安静、高效、无污染。
4．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Customers will not think it a good idea to develop fuel cell technology.B．It is still not very easy to speed up production of zero emission cars.C．We can’t ignore the financial problems to build a network of hydrogen stations.D．We still have much difficulty turning all the chains of the business into reality.解析：选D。
细节理解题。
根据第一句话：But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly”可知，现在利用该项技术还有较大挑战。
故答案选D。
B(2015·南京市三模)ELMONT，N.Y.(AP)Elmont High School senior Harold Ekeh had a plan—he would apply to 13 colleges，including all eight Ivy League schools，figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school.It worked.And then some，the teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13 schools，and now faces his next big test：deciding where to go.“I was stunned，I was really shocked，”Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack，his four younger brothers running around.He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University.That made him eight for eight in the Ivy League—he had already been accepted to Yale University，Brown University，Columbia University，Cornell University，Dartmouth College，Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania.His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University，Massachusetts Institute of Technology，New York University，Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University.“We are so proud of him，”said his mother ，Roseline Ekeh.“Hard work，dedication and prayer brought him to where he is today.”Born in Nigeria，Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States.“It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture，”he said.But he saw his parents working hard，“and I took their example and decided to apply_myself．”He referenced that effort in his college essay，writing，“Like a tree，uprooted and replanted，I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand.Yet，I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in.I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults，spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces，ignoring their sarcastic remarks.”“Harold is tremendously focused in everything he does.”said John Capozzi，the school’s principal，“He’s a great role model.All the students and faculty are so proud of him.”Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight st year，William Floyd High School’s Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale.Harold，who has a 100.51 gradepoint average and wants to be a neurosurgeon，said he was leaning toward Yale，and had heard from Enin，offering congratulations.Like Enin，he’s likely to announce his college choice at a press conference later this month.The deadline to decide is May.5．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“apply myself”？A．Work hard.B．Write to the college.C．Make a formal request.D．Make an adjustment.解析：选A。
