阅读理解提升练(二)AOn a warm Monday,Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees.Rolling down the windows to let in fresh air,she settled back to enjoy her lunch.Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot.Before she came to realize what would happen,the man was there,shouting through her window,“Get out!”Neilson refused.Pulling open her door,the man seized her by the neck and hair,and threw her out of the car onto the ground.She screamed,grabbing her purse and the keys.Two reporters of the local newspaper,Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson,just outside their office building on a break,heard the screams and began running.When they reached Neilson’s car,the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was madly searching for the keys.Bruce opened the door,and he and Jackson dragged the man out.The attacker fought back.But even in his cornered panic,he was no match for the two athletic men.Reggie Miller,a worker of the local newspaper,heard the screams,too.He rushed back to the office to phone the police,and then ran back with some plastic ropes—used to tie up newspapers.With his arms tied tight behind him,the prisoner looked up and said coldly,“I hope you guys feel good about yourselves—you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They ignored him and waited for the ter,Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker(劫车者)and suspected murderer,whose picture—but with a full head of hair—had been recently printed in their own newspaper.Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries.She believes the story might have had a different ending if those good people had not come to her aid.“Unfortunately,” she said,“many people would never have done what they did,and th at is the real truth.”1.The underlined word “bald” in Paragraph 1 most probably means .A.strongB.without hairC.uglyD.rude2.Please arrange the time order of the following events according to the passage.a.Neilson was enjoying her lunch in the car.b.A man robbed Neilson of her car.c.The picture of the carjacker was printed in the local news paper.d.The carjacker was caught.A.abcdB.dbcaC.cabdD.abdc3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Neilson considers herself lucky because she was not badly hurt.B.Neilson doesn’t think many people will do the same as the three men.C.Neilson thinks everyone will do the same as the three men.D.Neilson has great confidence in people’s kindness and bravery.B(2018·浙江高三压轴考)Mention the word “coding” and the first image that comes to mind is a complicated algorithm(运算法则)that has no relationship to the real world.Itis,therefore,no wonder that most kids avoid learning this skill that is becoming increasingly important in today’s world.Now,thanks to a small robot,even kids as young as five,will be demanding program.Root,a robot,can be accessed using an iPad.It has been designed to teach coding to kids at various levels.For beginners or young children,Root is less about coding but more about problem-solving.Kids can construct a “what if” situation by moving icons(图标)around on the tablet and observing the consequences of their action instantly.This simple “cause and effect” logic can be used to teach the robot to “drive” along a vertical dry-erase whiteboard and quickly draw with a dry-erase marker.Root can also be instructed to move around the floor,draw patterns,and avoid barriers.As students get more comfortable with the concept,they can downloadcommands,meaning that Root can be told to draw a race track on a whiteboard,and then multiple Root robots can be instructed to race each other.Other fun options include programming Root to go faster when driving over the color green and coming to a stop upon sensing the color red.That’s just the beginning of the possibilities—Root can also be taught to flee when it detects danger,which in this case is the beam from a flashlight,and even play “Angry Birds” on a whiteboard using real-worldphysics.Since multiple Roots can be used at the same time,the robot is the perfect classroom tool to introduce coding to young kids.Raphael believes that this novel approach to coding will excite great interest because unlike the traditional method,Root makes coding fun for even the youngest of students.Unfortunately,the robot,successfully tested by kids in the laboratory,is not yet available for schools.The researchers estimate that Root will be sold for about $200,making it fairly affordable for anyone that wishes to learn how to code.4.Why are kids afraid to learn to code according to the author?A.It is very difficult for them to learn this skill.B.It gets them more uncomfortable to use computers.C.Learning code will cost them a large sum of money.D.Kids find it will have less fun playing computer games.5.The robot called Root helps kids to .A.change kids’ study attitudesB.move icons around more easilyC.greatly improve kids’ test marksD.feel at ease when learning to code6.What do we know about the robot?A.It teaches kids to code.B.It is used to design programs.C.It makes “Angry Birds” popular.D.It helps kids to break codes.CFilled with much housework,meals and childcare at home,many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic.Even for those who have a happy family life,they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently,a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone(荷尔蒙) released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women are more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressf ul than home for many.“Paid work is morevalued in society,”said Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study.“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we’ve been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress spreads and increases quickly.“That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.7.According to Paragraph 1,many people feel that being at home .A.is like having a picnicB.is an ideal way to manage stressC.offers greater relaxation than at workD.can bring more stress than in the workplace8.According to Sarah Damaske, .A.men feel happier at work than womenB.parents without children tend to feel happierC.household work is not as rewarding as work on a jobD.both men and women feel happier at home than at work9.What can make people feel happy at work?A.Recognition of the value of their work.B.A good management of their marriage.C.Much competition among colleagues.D.Forgetting the stress from family life.10.According to the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A.Our attitude.B.Our home life.C.Our mind-set.D.Our working style.阅读理解提升练(二)A【语篇导读】在一个温暖的星期一,Jenny Neilson在车内受到了一个歹徒的袭击。

阅读七选五提升练(二)AHomesickness is a feeling that we all have probably experienced at one time or another.1 Remember the following strategies before you get ready to leave.2 Knowing more about homesickness will provide insight into how common it is for people to have feelings of missing home.This will surely help make you feel less stressedor embarrassed about missing home.3 You can ask someone who is knowledgeable about where you’ll go to describe the daily routines or activities you should expect.If it’s practical,you could plan a preliminary(初步的)visit with family or friends to the place you’ll go to.Make plans for when you arrive at your new location.When you know what some of your routines and activities will be when you get to the new place,you’ll feel more comfortable.4 One study found that vigorous exercise and purposeful social interaction while away helped to avoid feelings of homesickness.Bring something from home.Sometimes homesickness can be difficult because you never know when it might hit you.Bring along a favorite book,a pair of slippers,or a picture.5 They can be helpful to comfort you when you’re homesick.A.Adopt your previous habits and routines.B.Explore your new location.C.Become familiar with the place you will go to.D.The experience will seem a little more familiar,making homesickness less likely.E.Preparing to move away from home helps prevent homesickness.F.Know that homesickness is totally normal.G.These items might help make home feel a bit closer.B(原创)A famous Irish saying sums up the importance of a good sleep,“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.” Enough sleep plays an important role in keeping a healthy lifestyle.When you wake up after a good night’s sleep,you feel notonly fresh,but also enthusiastic,happy,and energetic. 1 For example:●Avoid phones or computers in bed.Watching late-night TV,reading on a phone,late-night chatting and surfing not only reduce your sleeping hours but also ruin your health. 2 The light prevents the release of a hormone (激素) called melatonin,which is released in thedark and signals to our body that it’s time to sleep.●Don’t go to bed angry.Arguments make you angry. 3 So don’t argue with someoneelse before going to bed.Instead,you should be calm before going to bed to get a goodsleep.● 4 Eating a heavy meal before going to bed can be bad for you.Eating high-calorie foods before bed can also lead to weight gain.Eating processed or highly salty foods can make you thirsty,leading to excessive consumption of water,which has an ill effect too.So remember to eat a light meal at night.●Avoid drinking.It is true that alcohol(酒精) makes you sleepy,but that is only forthe first half. 5 You may experience frequent awakenings,nightmares,headaches,sweats,and many bad results.A.Don’t eat before going to bed.B.It actually disturbs the sleep later.C.Don’t do much exercise before sleeping.D.Mobiles,computers and TVs throw a blue and white light.E.So,try to avoid some unhealthy activities before sleeping at night.F.It’s advised to read a boring novel or a topic of less interest at night.G.They will disturb you mentally and keep you awake for a long time.CSometimes in your life,you may be asked to speak in front of a large group ofpeople.Although it sounds a little scary,even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.●Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible,practice the speech infront of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people.If you feel you must have note cards,limit the amount to about three cards.This will force you to keep your speech concise and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.●Remember why you’ve been invited to speak.If you’re battling fear over speaking toa large group of people,keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role.The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. 2● Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position.Knowingthis may make you feel better.● 4 What you say should be tailored to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general.If speaking to a charity group,mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause.If speaking at a business conference,briefly state why you want to help these people.●Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each section and look at him while you’re speaking.After each important point in your speech,switch your focus to another section.When you focus only on one person at a time,the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.A.A good memory is really helpful.B.Show appreciation to your audience.C.Mention your audience in your speech.D.The more you have it memorized,the better.E.In fact,it’s normal to feel nervous or stressed out before a big speech.F.Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.D(2018·浙江绍兴5月模拟)“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much.It describes parents who watch over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter.Today,modern technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away. 1Julie Lythcott wrote a book titled Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and

as dean of first year students. 3 But many were unable to take care of themselves.They were turning to parents constantly for guidance,for problem solving,to have them make the choice about something.So what can parents do if they want to break the overparenting “helicopter” cycle?4◆Stop saying “we” when you mean your son or your daughter.All too often a parent would say “we are on the travel soccer team”.Well,no,your son is or your daughter is.◆Stop arguing with all of the adults in our kids’ lives.You need to teach your kids to advocate for themselves.◆Sto p doing your kids’ homework.◆ 5 Teach them to cross the street,make a meal,and remember to put their own items in their backpacks,which becomes a briefcase one day.When kids have all the skills to take care of

阅读理解提升练(一)A(2018·浙江杭州高级中学仿真测试)An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple:help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit to be enjoyed by all,the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus,as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched(发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998.Her original program used author visits,study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book,but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities,and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago,the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of ToKillaMockingbird as the first book in the “One Book,One Chicago”program.As a result,reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US,stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns,where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately,as Nancy points out,the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book,but by how many people are enriched by the process,or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.To invite authors to guide readers.B.To encourage people to read and share.C.To involve people in community service.D.To promote the friendship between cities.2.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?A.In large communities with little sense of unity.B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.3.According to Nancy,the degree of success of the project is judged by .A.the careful selection of a proper bookB.the growing popularity of the writersC.the number of people who benefit from readingD.the number of books that each person readsBAs Charlotte arrived at the big living room,her mother Sarah and her new stepfather(继父)Robert Graham turned from the window and faced her.We shall never have Mom to ourselves again,Charlotte thought.If only she were just a kid,and could cry wildly in anger on the floor!Instead,she forced a smile.She rushed forward and threw her arms round Sarah and kissed her wildly,knocking her hat crooked(歪的)and making her cry out.“Darling!You’ll knock me down!”“You look great,Mom!”Charlotte cried and knew she was shouting.She was hot again,red and untidy and looking like the last kind of girl any man would want to have as a stepdaughter.Her brother Nicholas,however,went to the other extreme.He was so calm that he was positively rude,and Charlotte knew before he started it that he was going to act like a bad schoolboy.“Oh Nicholas,do behave!” Sarah cried.“Robert,they’re showing off!”Although she was laughing,they both heard the little ring of disappointment in her voice,and both knew that they were letting her down.They had surely never had such a difficult moment.It was Robert Graham who saved the situation.He came forward holding out both hands.“I am deeply grateful to you two young people.You’ve had Sarah to yourselves for a long time.Thank you for agreeing to share her with me.I know it can’t be easy.”And although this was just the sort of words they would call dull,the sincerity(真诚)gave it a guarantee.They knew he meant what he said.He was indeed thanking them.And by doing so he pulled them back to reality and made them themselves again.4.Upon entering the living room,Charlotte experienced.A.a sudden sense of lossB.a curiosity to see her stepfatherC.an urge to be more polite than NicholasD.a feeling of anger directed at her stepfather5.Sarah found the moment difficult because she was.A.deeply moved by Charlotte’s greetingB.embarrassed by the children’s behaviorC.afraid Nicholas would leave herD.having doubts about remarrying6.The text suggests that Sarah and Robert.A.made the situation difficult on purposeB.found the children’s responses amusingC.cared about the feelings of the childrenD.felt upset about the children’s attitudeC(2018·浙大附中全真模拟)Educators across the US are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education.The National Center for Educational Statistics reported that US colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014.The schools admitted more than 5 million students in that time.But a new report says that the problem is not in the number of students that are being admitted,but rather how students are selected.The Harvard School of Graduate Education,alongwith 80 other schools and organizations,released the report in January 2016,called “Turning the Tide—Making Caring Common”.The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems.David Hawkins,the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy,says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.Schools usually ask for an essay describing a student’s interests or why they want to study at that school.The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why the student is a good candidate.But,Hawkins says,the area that schools are most concerned with is a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.The report suggests that paying attention to academic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others.In addition,academic success is not the most important quality a student should have.More attention should be paid to showing whether or not a student wants to do good in the world.The report also suggests that schools should ask for evidence that students care about other people.Moving attention away from academic ability will make process less about competition,the report says.Students will feel less stress about meeting higher and higher expectation.But the report does have its critics.Bob Schaeffer,Public Education Director,said that every few years,someone makes the same argument for change.He said that no real change has happened yet and that even many of the schools that agree with the report still make no changes.“Many of the institutions that have supported the findings in the report are the very institutions that have the most competitive admission processes in the country,”Schaeffer said.7.What is the problem of the admission process according to the report?A.The schools ask social responsibilities from the applying students.B.The schools attach importance to students’ academic records.C.The number of students getting admitted is too small.D.Admission officers only consider personal qualities.8.What does the author’s attitude to the report of the admission process?A.Supportive.B.Doubtful.C.Neutral.D.Negative.9.The critic,Bob Schaeffer,thinks that .A.some schools don’t do what they believe is rightB.the largest schools are expected to make changes firstC.not enough schools currently agree with the reportD.history has proved that all changes are goodDIt began to rain yesterday morning and it still hasn’t stopped.Rain suggests gentle.It has not been gentle.The rain barrel,waiting to be attached to the downspout,was knocked over,not to mention a few chairs in the air.The university choir was to be transported to our venue(演出地点)by 4:45 p.m.They would be missing dinner at their dormitory,so one of our choir members prepared both a vegetarian meal as well as a non-vegetarian meal for the 25 singers.Others of us prepared side-dishes.Their bus never arrived for them.In the pouring rain,they had to take the taxi fromHyde Park to a stop near our concert site.Several of our members,dressed in concert dress,drove to the station making several trips to pick up the student singers,and not all of them arrived on the same train.It was amazing to see a number of volunteers,dripping wet themselves volunteering again to drive the students back to the university.The beauty of this was seeing everyone giving of themselves.Not only that,but offering to drive the students the distance back to the university,which was not a short commute(通勤).After many phone calls,still not quite certain what happened to arrival bus,but there was a bus waiting to take them back.Hopefully,everything will be in order today.10.What damaged the author’s plan?A.The heavy rain.B.The heavy snow.C.The strong wind.D.The university choir.11.What did one of the choir members prepare for dinner for the 25 singers?A.Drink and fruit.B.Some snacks.C.Some side-dishes.D.A vegetarian meal and a non-vegetarian meal.12.What’s the most moving in the passage?A.Everything in

阅读理解提升练(十一)ABy teaching your children healthy eating habits,and copying these behaviors in yourself,you can help your children keep a healthy weight and normal growth.Also,the eating habits your children pick up when they are young will help them keep a healthy lifestyle when they grow up.Your child’s health care provider can evaluate(评估) your child’s weight and growth and let you know if your child needs to lose or gain weight or if any dietary changes need to be made.Some of the most important aspects of healthy eating are portion control and cutting down on how much fat and sugar your child eats or drinks.Simple ways to reduce fat intake in your child’s diet and improve a healthy weight include serving:●Low-fat or nonfat dairy products●Poultry without skin●Lean cuts of meat●Whole grain breads and cereals●Healthy snacks such as fruit and vegetablesAlso,reduce the amount of sugar sweetened drinks and salt in your child’s diet.If you are unsure about how to select and prepare a variety of foods for your family,ask a registered dietitian(营养师) for nutrition.It is important that you do not place your overweight child(ren) on a restrictive(限制性的)diet.Children should never be placed on a restrictive diet to lose weight unless a doctor takes charge of one for medical reasons.1.What are the most important parts of healthy eating your child controls?A.Fat and sugar.B.Water and meat.C.Fruit and vegetables.D.Whole grain breads and cereals.2.What does the third paragraph tell us?A.How to lose weight.B.How healthy eating is.C.How to reduce fat and sugar.D.How to keep a healthy weight.3.What should your children do if they want to lose weight?A.Limit diets.B.Take exercise.C.Listen to parents.D.Listen to doctors’ suggestion.B(2018·浙江超级全能生3月联考)While Black Friday and Cyber Monday help start the holiday shopping season,GivingTuesday,which will be observed on November 28,attempts to inspire the season of giving.Now in its sixth year,the charitable(慈善的) day uses the power of social media to encourage organizations and individuals to donate funds or resources to worthy causes.Its mission is to bring positive changes to communities through giving.Though devoting just one day to a worthy cause may not seem much,GivingTuesday makes a surprisingly significant impact.In 2015,ORGANIZE,an online organ donor program asked people to “Give with Your Heart,” by becoming registered donors.Thousands of Americans listen to the cry forhelp,resulting in one of the largest digital donors drives in the US history.That same year,the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore competed to see who could encourage more donations.While the Pratt Library won with a $6,000 acquisition,the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well.In 2016,the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges.They raised an amazing $5.5 million!The university hopes to re-create the magic this year,with a virtual celebration to mark the institution’s 200th anniversary.GivingTuesday is not just a US phenomenon,but a global movement.In 2016,98 countries participated in the event,raising $177 million,a 44% increase over 2015,when 71 nations collected $116.7million.These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition.Though donating funds is a great way to help,there are numerous other ways to support your local community.You can give back by volunteering at a nearby nonprofit or food bank.Social media experts can do their share by spreading the information and inspiring their colleagues to get involved.Another great way to celebrate GivingTuesday is by helping those closest to you,whether that’s assisting a family member with chores or helping a neighbor with yard work.4.Why is GivingTuesday started?A.To appeal to people to perform an act of kindness.B.To promote sales of the holiday shopping season.C.To inspire the poor to have a positive view of life.D.To encourage people to donate organs for patients.5.It can be inferred from the text that .A.people donated money actively for the two libraries in BaltimoreB.the University of Michigan thought it challenging to get donationsC.GivingTuesday hasn’t been universally accepted in the world so farD.the donations to the institution were given for its 200th anniversary6.The author tries to tell the readers in Paragraph 5.A.why we need to volunteer in our local communityB.who we will celebrate GivingTuesday together withC.where we should donate funds to benefit other peopleD.how we can give to help those who are in great needCA girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care,which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings.She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company,telling him stories.When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注),she would help massage his arms.The doctor found the patient much improved mentally.The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled.Each time the girl left,the old man would give her some money.The doctor did nothing to interfere(干涉),unwilling to offend the old man.A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma(昏迷) a few times.When rescued from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,“I have deep sympathy for the girl.Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man,the doctor told her the bad news.She was very sad and burst into tears.Then she handed $500 to the doctor,saying,“The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty.He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.”Now he got the answer to the puzzle.In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.7.What kind of people do volunteers attend to in Deathbed Care?A.The patients in need of operations.B.The people suffering from cancer.C.The people suffering from diseases.D.The patients without many days left.8.What can we infer about the old man according to Paragraph 2?A.He had abundant savings and he was cheerful.B.He frequently lost his temper before he met the girl.C.He was suffering from cancer and helped a poor girl.D.He asked the doctor to help the girl finish her study.9.What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?A.His children’s progress in their career.B.The intravenous drip that he had every Saturday.C.The pleasure of being helpful to people in need.D.The girl’s good comfort and care in his daily life.10.Why did the girl take the old man’s money?A.To keep him in high spirits.B.To continue her schooling.C.To gather experience on voluntary work.D.To involve him actively in the

阅读理解提升练(十)A(2018·浙江超级全能生3月联考)Unless your parent is a head chef or bento box(便当盒) master,school lunch is usually nothing towrite home about.For artist and father Dominick Cabalo,however,his son Nicholas’s lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity.Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas’s paper lunch bags,usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school.“I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others,” he said.“So by creating a piece of artwork to ‘break the ice,’ kids would come up to him and start talking and hopefully a conversation,or better yet,a new friendship,would start.”Though Nicholas is in middle school now,he still asks his dad to draw on the lunch bags,and will make requests for characters or drawings that he’d like to see on the next bag.Cabalo has drawn about400 lunch bags in the past 3 years.He explained that the bags have really helped his son become more confident at school.“He’s broken out of his shell because of this,and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags,” he wrote.Nicholas keeps most of the bags.“Some come back in better condition than others,” Cabalo said.“We may lose one to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink,but that’s to be expected.” As for the bagsthat make it home undamaged,Cabalo posts their photos to social media.His favorites are the more time-consuming series of bags that can be joined up to create a larger image,such as the “Finding Nemo”triptych below.1.What special feature makes Nicholas’s lunch bags distinguish?A.Delicious food cooked by a head chef or bento box master.B.Beautiful oil paintings produced by highly creative artists.C.Popular characters and colorful superheroes stuck to them.D.Lively pictures carefully drawn by the kid’s loving father.2.Why did Cabalo draw on the lunch bags in the very beginning?A.To help his son to make new friends.B.To make his son’s lunch boxes attractive.C.To encourage his son to be more confident.D.To improve his son’s academic performance.3.Which of the following best describes the father’s gesture?A.Friendly.B.Noble.C.Sweet.D.Talented.4.What is this text mainly about?A.Cabalo draws popular lively characters and colorful superheroes for his son.B.Dad’s special lunch bag drawings help shy son come out of his shell.C.Nicholas’s new friends in elementary school make him more confident.D.Son keeps the more time-consuming series of bags designed by Father.BStarting in 1972,the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn.It was acknowledged that some forest fires,such as those caused by lightning,were necessary for forests to maintain balanced ecosystems,so the fire should be allowed to burn.However,a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially allowed to burn yet soon out of control.As a result,the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone,which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed,and large empty spaces and acresof burned and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash,and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair.In addition,great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control.The fires were driven by high winds,moving as many as ten miles a day.Many small animals died in the flames.The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape.Even today,few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park.In the years immediately following the fires,the numbers of visitors declinedrapidly.No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation.Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the Old Faithful Geyser.But now its reputation as America’s wonder is damaged permanently.5.Natural Burn was adopted because some forest fires were .A.hard to put outB.started by lightningC.good for the balance of natureD.approved by National Park Service6.Why were so many animals killed in the big fire?A.Because winds were blown from high places.B.Because the animals moved only ten miles a day.C.Because the animals lived in lower places.D.Because strong winds contributed to the fire a lot.7.The text probably comes from .A.a science fictionB.a news reportC.a commercial adD.a geography magazineCI grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening.Although my parents enjoyed wine,they rarely drank during the week and were always in moderation(节制).As for myself,I wasn’t interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life,I was a bit shocked.Many different events had been organized for the freshmen,but they all had one thing in common—alcohol,and plenty of it.Not wanting to be left out,I joined a few of the events.But I always returned home early,feeling disappointed.Your personality,interests and experiences didn’t matter at all,only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out(喝醉).It seemed shallow to me.I wanted to get to know my new classmates,not how fast they could down a pint of beer.Gradually,however,I realized that real friends don’t judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends.I joined a photography society,took a first aid course,and every weekend I went cycling with a classmate.I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group,I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.Another valuable lesson I learned is that it’s perfectly okay to say “No” if you don’t want to drink.However,in many Western societies,especially the UK,binge drinking(狂喝) has become the norm.Many people who drink don’t necessarily want to,but they give in to the peer pressure(同伴压力)—they’re afraid to say “No”.8.What shocked the author when he entered university?A.The strange campus.B.The popularity of alcohol.C.The drunken classmates.D.The limited activities.9.Why did the author return home early from the events at first?A.He wasn’t good at drinking.B.He had no familiar classmates.C.He hated the way people got along.D.He was left out by the organizers.10.How did the author finally make real friends at university?A.By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks.B.By staying away from group activities.C.By giving in to the peer pressure.D.By joining people with common interests.阅读理解提升练(十)A【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述一位父亲为了使儿子在学校摆脱羞涩,展开交际,每天在他的午餐袋上画上多彩的图案,儿子因此交到了朋友,并变得自信、阳光。

在文章中,作者阐述了诗歌教学的重要性。
1细节理解题。
由文章第三段第一句可知,如果课堂上没有时间同时朗读和分析诗歌的话,把时间花在朗读上比花在分析上要值得多,因此“分析诗歌”是“”的。
2细节理解题。
由第二段第一句可知,朗读归根到底是对诗的最全面诠释;由最后一句可知,即使是那些教学辅助手段也不能取代学生和老师朗读,更不能取代理解诗歌的最有效方法——背诵。

3推理判断题。
由第三段最后一句可知,在语言和文学教学中,诗歌本应该获得比目前更加重要的位置,即诗歌教学本该得到更多的重视,因此C项正确。

阅读理解提升练(十二)A(2018·浙江余姚中学押题卷一)No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling “interpretation” ofit,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it.I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it,if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life”,“a heightening of life,enjoyment with others”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.1.The passage indicates that analyzing a poem is .A.not essential at allB.a preparation for appreciating itC.an approach to understanding itD.optional in class sometimes2.The recitation of a poem by the teacher or a student in the classroom .A.is the best way to understand itB.easily arouses some discussion among the studentsC.helps the teacher to analyze itD.cannot take the place of the poet reading it3.Which of the following statements may the author agree with?A.The most important teaching goal is to have students read and recite every poem they learn.B.Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.C.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.D.Every English teacher is supposed to convey their love of poetry to their students.B(2018·浙江杭州高级中学仿真测试)Several times my daughter had telephoned to say,“Mum,you must come and see the daffodils(水仙花)before they are over.” I wanted to go,but it was a two-hour drive from Lake Arrowhead.“I will go next Tuesday,” I promised,a little unwillingly,on her third call.The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy.Still,I had promised,and so I drove there.When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren,I said,“Forget the daffodils,Carolyn!The road is invisible in the cloud and fog,and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!”My daughter smiled calmly and said,“We drive in this weather all thetime,Mum.You will never forgive your self if you miss this experience.”After about twenty minutes,we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church.On the far side of the church,I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”.We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand,and I followed Carolyn down the path.Then,we turned a corner of the path,and I looked up andgasped.Before me lay the most beautiful sight!There were five acres offlowers!“But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn.“It’s just one woman,” Carolyn answered.“That’s her home.” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house.On the patio(庭院),we saw a poster.“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.The first ans wer was a simple one.“15,000 bulbs(鳞茎),” it read.The second answer was,“One at a time,by one woman.” The third answer was,“Began in 1958.”I thought of this woman whom I had never met,who,more than fifty years ago,had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.4.The author didn’t go to see the daffodils at first because .A.she was not interested in themB.they were growing on the mountain topC.the weather was not good enoughD.it was not easy for her to drive there5.What do we know about the woman living in the A-frame house?A.She must be out of mind.B.She acted as a gardener there.C.It took her great efforts to grow the daffodils.D.She was poor and made her living by selling daffodils.6.What would be the best title for the passage?A.An Unforgettable Experience.B.Beautiful Daffodils.C.One Bulb at a Time.D.I Love Daffodils.CPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you.According to the ancient Greeks,there are three basic tools of persuasion:ethos,pathos,and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he istrustworthy,honest and reliable.One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field.After all,you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from adentist than a fireman.A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that he is a good person.If an audience cannot trust you,you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions.For example,a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war.These words areintended to fill the audience with fear,thus making them support him.Similarly,an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats,to make the viewers feel pity.If the audience feels bad for the animals,they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of truths,statistics,or other evidence to support your argument.An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims,for example,in an ad for washing powder.Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply sayi ng “Believe me”.Although ethos,pathos,and logos all have their strengths,they are often most effective when used together.Indeed,most speakers use a combination ofethos,pathos,and logos to persuade their audiences.So,the next time you listen to a speech,watch a commercial,or listen to a friend trying to convince you to lend him some money,be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.7.How is a speaker able to show his ethos to the audience?A.By expressing his sympathy with the audience.B.By telling the audience about his personal preference.C.By using beautiful language to make his statements attractive.D.By showing his knowledge and experience relating to the topic.8.Why is logos used for a commercial?A.To get the audience’s sympat hy.B.To prove the speaker knowledgeable.C.To convince the audience with facts.D.To make the viewers your potential voters.9.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A.Don’t use tools of persuasion.B.Never lend money to friends.C.Be careful of skillful persuaders.D.Look out for the ancient Greeks.10.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A.Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.B.Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.C.Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D.Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.阅读理解提升练(十二)A【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。

阅读理解提升练(三)AResearch carried out last year stressed the growing challenge facing employers in terms of managing and supporting the UK’s ageing workforce。
Figures from the Office for National Statistics have suggested that the number of people aged 65 and over still working has reached 1.19 million—up25,000 from a year ago。
There were also now more people aged 50-74 in work than ever before.However，the overall trend was hiding the fact that 12% people are forced to stop working before reaching state pension age because of ill health or disability.Nearly half a million （436,000) workers who are within five years of state pension age have had to leave work for medical reasons，with an apparent divide between the North (worse） and South (better）。
Those in the lowest-paid jobs，including cleaners，leisure industry workers and people doing heavy laboring jobs,were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age，because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals.Within this，the needs of the “sandwich generation”—those juggling work with caring for elderly dependents as well as children-needed to be given greater priority （优先权） by employers，a white paper by insurer and healthcare provider concluded.Its research argued that 66% of managers think the average age of retirement in their organization will increase in the next 5 to 10 years。
