2012届高考英语专题复习精选资料集〔三〕(一)Elizabeth and I are 18 now, and about to graduate.I think about our elementaryschool friendship, but some memories have blurred. What happened that day in fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me? Does she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back, discover what ended our relationship.I have to speak with Beth.I see her sometimes, and find out school is “fine〞. It’s not the same.It never will be.Someone says that she’s Liz now.What happened to Beth?I can’t call her.Should I write? What if she doesn’t answer me? How will I know what she’s thinking? Yes, I’ll write her a letter.These things are easier to express in writing.“Dear Be，〞 no, “Dear Li，〞 no, “Dear Elizabeth，〞 I begin.The words flow freely, as sevenyear old memories are reborn.I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind, and pray she will answer.I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope, and imagine Beth peering into her mailbox.Will she know why I’m writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter.As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever, I wonder if I’ve made the right decision.Do I have the right to force myself into Beth’s life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first step.Beth_has_control_of_the_situation_now. One day has passed.Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor? Two days are gone.I’m lost in thought and don’t even hear the phone ring.“Hello? It’s Elizabeth.〞()1.How ol d were they when they didn’t speak to each other?A．18.B．12.C．13. D．11.()2.Why does the auther decide to write a letter in stead of calling?A．She is sure that Beth will not answer.B．She’s afraid that they’ll quarrel on the phone.C．She doesn’t know Beth’s telephone number.D．It is easier to express her feelings in writing.()3.What is the meaning of the underlined sentence “Beth has control of the situation now.〞？A．Beth doesn’t want to forgive the writer.B．Beth is under the control of the writer.C．The writer is under the control of Beth.D．Whether their friendship heals is up to Beth.()4.What can we know from the last sentence?A．Beth is making a phone to the writer.B．Beth is phoning others.C．The writer imagines Beth calling her.D．The writer is calling Beth.()5.Which of the following the author might NOT mention in her letter?A．Their elementaryschool friendship.B．Her future plan after graduation.C．Her expectations for Beth’s reply.D．The questions about the endings of their friendship.(二)One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is, strangely enough, childhood.Despite being young we are expected to achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well on tests, perform chores at home and so on.It’s n ot easy.The good news is that being likeable can help a child perform better.Likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to cope more easily with stresses ofgrowing up.In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr.Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others.This leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover from or adjust early to life stress. A child who has adequate emotional_armor can continue down the path to success.Much research shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy selfawareness.()1.The writer implies in the first paragraph that ________.A．children are expected much than we usually thinkB．life is not easy for every one of usC．better education results in smarter childrenD．to be a likeable child is almost impossible()2.According to Dr.Leonard, likeable children ________.A．can cope more easily with stress independentlyB．know how to avoid trouble and unpleasant eventsC．are always optimistic and ready to help those in needD．can achieve more and understand themselves better()3.The term “emotional armor〞 in Paragraph 3 means ________.A．mental support from friendsB．mental support from adultsC．failures in lifeD．ability to handle life stress()4.The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find ________. A．if a likeable teacher has a positive personalityB．if a likeable teacher draws more attentionC．how a teacher’s likability gains popularityD．how a likeable teacher’s teaching style is formed()5.The passage aims at proving that ________.A．likeable people do better in life generallyB．likeable people do better in their childhoodC．social creatures enjoy more advantagesD．likeable people give better advice(三)Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the extreme experiment of FrederickⅡ in the 13th century, it may be.Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the babies died before the first year.But clearly there was more than language deprivation(剥夺，丧失)．What was missing was good mothering.Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the ability to survive is seriously affected. Today no such extreme deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick.Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking.Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to signals of the baby, whose brain is programmed to mop up language rapidly.There are critical times, and it seems when children learn more rapidly.If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that a baby is born with the ability to speak.What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy bear with the sound pattern “teddy bear〞．But speech has to be induced(引导), and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(咿呀学语), clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them.Insensitivity of the mother to these signals reduces the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals.Sensitivity to the child’s non verbal(非语言的) signals is basic to the growth and development of language.()1.Frederick Ⅱ’s experiment was extreme because ________.A．he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB．he wanted his nurses to say another languageC．he was unkind to the nursesD．he ignored the importance of mothering to the babies()2.The reason that some children are backward in speaking is most likely that ________.A．they do not listen carefully to their mothersB．their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakC．their brain has to absorb too much language at onceD．their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them()3.In paragraph 3, by “critical times〞 the author means ________.A．difficult periods in the child’s lifeB．moments when the child becomes critical towards its motherC．important stages in the child’s developmentD．times when mothers often neglect their children()4.If a child starts to speak later than others, he will ________ in future. A．have a high IQB．be less intelligentC．not necessarily be backwardD．be insensitive to verbal signals()5.If the mother seldom responds to her child’s signals, ________.A．the child will be able to speak properlyB．the child will continue to give out signalsC．the child will invent a language of ownD．the child will make little effort to speak参考答案(一)【文章大意】本文讲述了作者和朋友Elizabeth一直是好朋友，可是在五年级的时候，Elizabeth突然不和作者说话了。

2012届高考英语专题复习精选资料集(一)
2012届高考英语专题复习精选资料集〔一〕(一)Schools of robotic fish could be sent into the Thames to produce a 3D pollution map of the river.Researchers at the University of Essex in Colchester are working on the robotic fish as part of a ￡2.5 million EUfunded project to find new ways of monitoring water waste.Each fish will be about 50cm long, 15cm high and 12cm wide.They will be packed with pollution sensors(传感器)that can electronically “smell〞 harmful chemicals in the water.Scientists have developed “swarm(群) intelligence techniques〞 which allow the fish to work as a team without humans.The robotic fish will communicate with each other using wifi as they seek out areas of pollution.They work out where they are with inbuilt GPS systems and artificial intelligence software will enable them to move without the need for a human operator: they will only warn staff if areas of pollution are found.A fish that finds pollution sends the data of the location to others.“Each school will contain five fish, and they will constant ly monitor for pollutants，〞 said Dr.Dongbing Gu, who is leading the research.“When they find something, they will send a message to the rest of the school, who will then gather in the area to take readings.〞The fish move their bodies up and down like waves—driven by motors—and use fins and a tail to change direction.It is hoped they will travel at speeds of up to half a metre per second.Working models could be available within 18 months.Different sensors will be fitted to hunt for different pollutants.Th e data could be used to build a “real time〞 3Dmap of areas of pollution in the water, allowing operators to determine the best way to clean up the area.The fish will initially be used in ports to monitor leaks from large ships, but Dr Gu said the same system could be used in the Thames.Researchers hope the robotic fish will be able to spend up to 24 hours in the water before needing to be recharged. ( )1.The purpose of the robotic fish project is to ________.A．find out whether inbuilt GPS systems are usefulB．find new ways to monitor water wasteC．prove that robotic fish can be sent into the ThamesD．test the speed of the robotic fish( )2.Robotic fish can find harmful pollutants by using ________.A．GPS systemsB．a 3D pollution mapC．pollution sensorsD．fins and a tail( )3.When a fish finds pollutants, it will________.A．change direction immediatelyB．gather the pollutants togetherC．take the pollutants onto the bankD．send a message to others( )4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A．The robotic fish have been used in ports as well as in the Thames.B．It takes 24 hours for robotic fish to be recharged.C．The robotic fish can work as a team without humans.D．The robotic fish can not change direction in water.( )5.The passage mainly tells us about ________.A．the robotic fish to smell out pollutantsB．a ￡2.5 million EUfunded projectC．researchers working on robotic fishD．a 3D pollution map of the Thames(二)Plants have family values, too, it seems, with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together.An ability to tell family from strangers is well known in animals, allowing them to cooperate and share resources, but plants may possess similar social skills, scientists believe.Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin.This suggests that plants, though lacking recognition and memory, are capable of complex social interactions.“Plants have this kind of hidden but complicated social life，〞 Dudley said. The study found plants from the same species of beachdwelling wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their families.Sea rocket, a North American species, showed stronger and healthier root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives from the same maternal(母系的) family, the study found.( )2.Which of the following is NOT right about animals’ social skill? A．Animals can recognize and memory their relatives.B．Animals’ social skill is to cooperate and share resources.C．Animals’ social skill can recognize close relatives in order to work together. D．Animals’ social skill is not useful at all.( )3.Plants’ kin selection is to ________.A．grow wellB．compete with other kinds of plantsC．strengthen the relationship among siblingsD．find which one is the best( )4.From the passage，we learn that ________.A．Sea rocket is a South American speciesB．Sea rocket grows aggressively alongside unrelated neighborsC．Sea rocket grows aggressively alongside its siblingsD．Sea rocket is a kind of bush without flowers( )5.How can the plants communicate with each other according to experts’ suppose? A．Plants communicate by using tiny chemical signat ures specific to each plant’s family.B．Plants communicate with each other through their roots.C．Plants communicate with each other by their leaves.D．Plants communicate with each other with their flowers.(三)Schools are almost all connected to the Internet.But some have more technology, and use it more, than others.For example, some schools use computers for activities like video conferencing, to bring the world into the classroom.And some classrooms are equipped with things like a Smart Board, a kind of interactive whiteboard.Interactive whiteboards are large displays for presentations.They connect to a computer and can operate by touch.They can be used for documents or writing or to project video.Some teachers are trying creative new ways to teach with devices like iPods and mobile phones.But educators say the most important thing, as always, is the content.Yet technology can have special importance in some cases.Cosmobot is a therapy robot.It stands about half a meter tall and has a blue body and a friendly face with big eyes.One child who works with it is sixyearold Kevin Fitzgerald.Kevin has developmental dyspraxia;_he has difficulty moving his mouth and tongue.He works with Carole SemangoSprouse as he interacts with the Cosmobot during therap y for his condition.Here, he uses a set of buttons attached to a computer to make the silent robot move forward, backward or around in circles.Kevin’s mother thinks the robot has had a calming influence, helping her son get along better with his friends.Cosmobot was developed by AnthroTronix.Corinna Lathan started the company ten years ago to work with children with cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities.“Children become friends with the robot，〞she says.That can have a big effect ontheir behavior, helping them work harder and longer in therapy sessions.Corinna Lathan is currently working with a British company to develop other socially helpful robots.She says they are still considered research tools in the United States, and not used as much as in places like Britain and Japan.But she hopes to change that. ( )1.It’s known from the text that ________.A．schools have easy access to the Internet todayB．new technology is seldom applied to teachingC．the Internet is of equal importance in schoolsD．using computers for activities is laborsaving( )2.What do we know about Smart Boards?A．It’s a kind of teaching facility.B．It can be used to project video.C．It’s a display for presentation.D．It’s not easy to be connected to computers.( )3.What’s “dyspraxia〞 according to the text?A．Speech barrier.B．Movement disorder.C．Visual impairment.D．Loss of memory.( )4.Which of the following is RIGHT according to the text?A．Cosmobot is designed to play with.B．Cosmobot is cos tly and not userfriendly.C．Cosmobot can be controlled by a computer.D．AnthroTronix is a designer of a certain company.( )5.What can we learn from Corinna Lathan?A．She’s employed by a British company.B．Cosmobot is popular around the world.C．She wants to make previous products widespread.D．IPods and mobile phones are valued in class.参考答案(一)【文章大意】本文为科普说明文，主要介绍了一种能侦查出污染物质的新技术——“机器鱼〞。

2012届高考英语专题复习精选资料集（四十一） （A） The statement, “you can do anything you put your mind to,” leads us to believe that all you must do is imagine what you’d like to accomplish, set your mind to the task, and wait for success． To a certain degree this is true．Focused intention combined with action is a powerful force．But the statement is misleading because it fails to mention the difficulty and necessity of focusing your mind on a special goal． Most of us don’t know what we want．We think we do, but we really don’t．we only know what we don’t want．We don’t want a boring job．We don’t want to be poor．We don’t want to disappoint our loved ones． Knowing specially what you want is much different from knowing what you don’t want．When you only know what you don’t, your intentions aren’t focused．Consider this example． Pete doesn’t want to be poor．He’s sick of earning less than his friends, and he’s determined to raise his position．To accomplish this goal, Pete could take many different paths．He could train for a high paying profession．He could start his own company, go into real estate, or do many other thingsthat would lead to acquiring wealth． But Pete isn’t sure what he wants to do．He doesn’t know which path best fits his skills and personally, so he doesn’t make a decision to follow any particular path． Hoping to answer this question, he investigates a dozen possibilities, but as soon as he runs into adversity（困难）, he decides that path isn’t for him and moves on to a new solution． Pete’s actions aren’t focused．Although he works very hard, his efforts don’t build on each other rather than building one giant impenetrable（不可进入的）sand castle, Pete has built twenty small ones that are easily toppled （倒塌）．He ends up confused and discouraged．What’s worse, Pete’s lack of focus leads to failure． What if Pete had chosen a specific path? A set of specific goals is much easier to achieve than a vague ultimate goal like becoming wealthy．Being focused on a path gives Pete a logical set of actions to follow．Each accomplishment is one step closer to the final goal． I think we can all agree that committing to a clearly defined path, regardless of which one, gives Pete the best chance of becoming wealthy． But how can he choose a path if he doesn’t know what he wants? Maybe money isn’t his only goal．Maybe he wants to do something he loves at the same time．Maybe he can’t afford to go back to school．Reality is complicated, and Pete doesn’t want to commit too soon． And that’s why he failed． 1．powerful 2．necessary 3．Not 4．though/although 5．rich/wealthy 6．efforts 7．failure 8．achieve/ accomplish/reach 9．vague/unclear 10．Besides（）Parents can help their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out oftheir English classroom by introducing them to newspapers. Newspapers not only offer information on current events, but they can also be used to test your child's knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and more. Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How Have your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story. Ask them to write down all of the important facts, such as who, what, where, when, why and how. This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read. Grammar Parents can monitor a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (词性) without a grammar textbook. Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and the like, which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge. Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph. Then, reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything. Persuasion Ask your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper. Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product. Then, encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like. Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item. After that, ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad. Facts vs Opinions Select an editorial for your middle schooler to read. Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns, one marked fact, and the other marked opinion. Have your student decide which column itfits under. This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions. Another related exercise is responding to an editorial. Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles. Before your child sends his or her letter, check the opinion section to see what requirements there are. Headlines and Synonyms (同义词) Ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words. Compare the headlines. Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better? This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary. If you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of reinforcement (增强) instead of a major reading challenge.
