AFly Alone for the First TimeI began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16 before you make flight by yourself. So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself. I used that time to master the basic maneuvers (要领) of flying. I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway. It wasn’t always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right – I would never learn to fly, but by the next day, I was always eager to try again.On the day of my 16th birthday, I made my first solo flight, which meant I could finally fly alone. The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo. The next morning it was cold, but the sky was completely clear, and the winds were calm. I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings. But after the first one, he told me to pull off the runway, and he got out of the plane.I was alone. As I climbed higher and higher, the world began to change. Everything on the ground became miniature. Houses,cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand. I made three takeoffs and landings that day. Each landing was perfect. It was one of the happiest days of my life.Today, as a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights. I understand the joy faces, which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true. I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can’t do something, if you believe in yourself, you can succeed.21. When practicing flying, the author ______.A. met several times of emergenciesB. was worried about his own safetyC. couldn’t wait to fly alone in the skyD. sometimes doubted his ability to fly22. The underlined word “miniature” probably means “______”.A. distantB. unclearC. smallD. high23. What was the father concerned about before his son flied alone?A. Whether his son was brave enough.B. Whether it would be too windy.C. Whether he was able to protect his son.D. Whether there were negative comments.24. What lesson does the author learn from his experience?A. Be confident and you will succeed.B. Be responsible and you can grow up.C. Give up something and you may win more.D. Think hard and you can achieve your dream.BAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? Youmight be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.25. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a q uestion.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. To tell a story.26. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.A. picturesB. volunteersC. an imageD. a kind of food27. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. different images would change with different peopleB. different cultures would affect how students look at the photoC. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishD. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased28. According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. To create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.COf the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily andgiving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who’ve been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave — how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children’s thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you’d see this delightful film to find out.29. Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can ______.A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcanoB. help those who suffer from the eruptionC. get together with his family membersD. work miracles during the disaster30. Which of the following statements is true of the film?A. It is set in a volcano eruption.B. It is a serious science fiction movie.C. It shows some dull and ridiculous behaviors.D. It shows a lively and thoughtful world of children.31. What does the writer intend to do in this text?A. To recommend a film.B. To make a review on a film.C. To share pleasures of watching a film.D. To discuss kids’ behavior and thoughts.DIn 2009, the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers were invited to perform in Belgium, France, Germany, and Luxemburg. In 2011, they were voted as one of the world’s top five performance groups by audiences of Japan Broadcasting Corporation’s Amazing Voice program.Thinking back the group’s first tour in Europe, Camake Valaule, a physical education teacher and the founder of the Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers, admitted that he felt very nervous. He was worried that the audience would fall asleep since most of the 75-minute performance was a cappella, that is, singing without instrumental sound. Surprisingly, the audience listened with full focus and high spirits. Camake said, “They told me afterward that through our performance, they had a vision of our country, our village, without having to visit it. This experience greatly increased our confidence.”According to Camake Valaule, singing traditional ballads has helped students and their parents to re-understand their culture. “It used to be that the only ones who could sing these songs were tribal elders aged between 50 and 60. Now with the children performing the pieces, parents are be ginning to ask, ‘Why do we not know how to sing these ballads?’ Many times nowadays, it is the children who teach the songs to their parents, putting back the pieces of a blurred memory.”Winning international fame, however, was neither the original intention nor the main reason why Camake founded the group in 2006. The most important thing was to make children understand why they sing these songs and to preserve and pass on their culture. Referring to the relocation of Taiwu Elementary School and Taiwu Village following Typhoon Morakot in August2009, Camake said, “We could not take the forest or our houses in the mountains with us; but we were able to bring our culture along. As long as the children are willing to sing, I will always be there for them, singing with them and leading them to experience the meaning of the ballads.”32. Which of the following is true about Taiwu Elementary School Folk Singers?A. The group was first established in 2009.B. The group was founded by a PE teacher.C. The singers usually sing popular folk songs.D. The singers learn to sing from their parents.33. On his first trip to Europe, why did Camake think the audience might fall asleep?A. The average age of the audience was between fifty and sixty.B. Most of the performance was not accompanied by any instrument.C. Nobody could understand the language and the meaning of the songs.D. The audience could not visualize the theme sung by the school children.34. What does the underlined part “the pieces of a blurred memory” in the third paragraph most likely refer to?A. The fading memories about old tribal people.B. The children’s ignorance of their own tradition.C. The broken pieces of knowledge taught at school.D. The parents’ vague understanding of their own culture.35. What did Camake realize after the incident of Typhoon Morakot?A. The significance of the relocation of Taiwu ElementarySchool.B. The need to respect nature to avoid being destroyed by it.C. The importance of passing on the traditional culture.D. The consequence of building houses in the forest.。

I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me five pounds, because you said you were willing to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”Mr. Grey thought for a few minutes and then said, “Yes, I remember you. Go on with your story.”“Well,”answered the stranger, “are you still willing to take a chance?”。

四川省成都市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练80集连载（2）及（解析)答案阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A，B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Getting rid of dirt，in the opinion of most people，is a good thing。
However，there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt。
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in。
A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538，the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV，King of France, was famously dirty。
Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease，the nobleman should not go out。

ADictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozensof nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虚构）,they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.21. What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.22. Dodgson's made-up words____.A. are based on different wordsB. are borrowed from other languagesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used23. This passage is mainly about .A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are createdC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created new wordsBHi Maz and Bobby,I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my place. We're going to have a barbecue.TomHi Tom,Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend.

Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as ifit's going ahead. I really can't get out ofit because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of the family will probably be there.MazOk you guys,I'm calling off the barbecue.

One summer day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries.I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors providedby summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce.The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes-along with a woman in her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering suchtopics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce.By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family.Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extendinga bag of apricots（杏）to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they have a super deal on them."Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree. My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree-and a feeling that somehowthose apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.28. One reason the author likes fresh produce in grocery shop is that _A. she enjoys observing people selecting fresh produceB. she likes watching people tasting fresh produceC. she produces fresh produce herselfD. she sells fresh produce herself29.

She wanted to send the apricots as a gift to the author.D. She knew that the author's family liked eating apricots.31. According to the author, what is the extra value of grocery shopping?A. It adds flavor and color to her boring daily life.B. It helps her to see the importance of family life.C. It gives her a chance to learn about nutrition knowledge.D. It brings her unexpected friendship and sweet memories.DAnger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger too uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self': a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.How do we keep kids from creating false selves? We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control.People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.32. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Anger makes us uncomfortable.B. Anger is difficult to deal with.C. Parents often lose their temper at home.D. Parents should model a good anger style.33. What would a child be like if he developed a "false self'?A. Polite and optimistic.B. Perfect and helpful.C. Negative and indirect.D. Rude and dishonest.34. What's the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs?A. To give tips to create healthier anger.B. To suggest ways to avoid anger.C. To show the harm anger does to kids.D. To stress the importance of expressing anger.35. In which part of a website can we read the passage?A. Food& RecipesB. Psychology & HealthC. Life &EntertainmentD. School & Society第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AThe idea of changing the world seems very crazy, but there are a number of small everyday things we can do to make the world better.Alisia Orosco, 10, wanted to show her love and care to the sick kids at University Children’s Hospital in Texas, where her brother had been a patient. She earned money by doing part-time jobs and used it to buy different toys for the children in hospital. Now she visits three hospitals every year with bags of toys.High school students in a town of Washington made a difference in the lives of some needy children by building a playground at a workers’ camp. They got a lot of help from a building supply store which provided free building materials for the project.Teens in New Jersey decided to offer their help at the local soup kitchen where people with no homes can get free food. But there wasn’t one. They created a one-day soup kitchen and were able to feed 60 needy people and allowed them to take the rest home. Their efforts got more people to understand the great need of the poor in their community. Because of their efforts and success, a permanent soup kitchen was created with the $10,000 National Award they received from Newman’s Own Inc.High school students in Las Vegas helped 30 homeless adults prepare resumes（简历）during a job fair they held at the area’s largest homeless shelter. At least nine of the adults later found jobs.21.

From the text we know________.A. the students’ good deeds are partly supported by societyB. Alisia’s brother has been ill in hospitalC. a permanent soup kitchen for homeless children was created in New JerseyD. students in Las Vegas helped build a shelter for homeless adults23. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?A.Teens are the future and hope of a country.B.Small things can make a big difference.C.Teenagers are doing better than adults to change the world.D.Social practice benefits students financially and morally.BWhen I was a kid, there was a series of books called Froggy. One particular book was Froggy Goes to BED by Jonathan London. They would always tell how Froggy would go on these adventures in everyday life and finally his mom would call “Frooooggy” and tell him to do something he didn’t want to do and he would take a long time to do it.After hearing and learning to read these books, my parents kept giving me new books to read at night before bed and I realized reading wasn’t so bad, because it would help me sleep when I had trouble sleeping. Each story had an interesting plot and lesson.When I was older about the age of 11, I got really interested in Harry Potter. Once I started reading that throughout the day, I would think to myself, “If only I were a wizard and enrolled（入学）in a school like Hogwarts! Each day would be amazing and I could study whatever spells（咒语）I wanted.” I was totally absorbed in this series. My parents would read me a few chapters at night and my mom/dad would say “Good night, Even!” but I would always want to hear more.Today looking back on reading as a kid, I thank my parents for supplying me with the books as well as the willingness to read them. If I hadn’t been shown these books, my life might certainly a lot more dull and boring, and I might not be the same person I am right now.24. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Introducing how the author got along with his mother.B. Explaining how the author became interested in books.C. Describing the author’s everyday life when he was young.D. Introducing an impressive book in the author’s childhood.25. Why did the author consider reading wasn’t so bad before going to bed ?A. Reading contributed to his sleep.B. Reading aroused his learning interest.C. Reading enriched his knowledge.D. Reading improved his life habit.26. We can infer from the last paragraph that________.A. the author’s life is dull and boringB. the author wants to be a different personC. reading makes the author’s life interestingD. the author works on literature now27. What’s the author’s attitude when he writes the article ?A. PuzzledB. GratefulC. RespectfulD. RegretfulCIn today’s information age, it’s nearly impossible to avoid using social media. According to USA Today, even American universities are increasingly using social media as a learning tool. Their goal is to teach students how to use social media professionally.Jade Johnson is taking an upper-level advertising course at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. For the class, he has had to organize and promote a contest via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, channels that are commonly used by advertising firms.“A lot of times students prefer not to use certain social media, but are forced because of the class,” says Jade.Some students may be reluctant to create an account, but jade says that it was helpful because social media skills mean better job opportunities in today’s world.More college classes are appearing that are designed specially to teach students about social media, offering them a different look into something they may use on a daily basis.Jenna Kapsis, a senior at William Paterson University, was required to post two Tweets on Twitter and one update on Facebook per week in her Digital and Social Media Communication class. The course had a specific Facebook page where students would create discussion groups and post links.“Some of the topics included social media manners, online marketing and current events,” Kapsis says.As technology continues to develop, colleges and universities will likely continue to find ways to combine it into their teaching. Whether it’s to create discussion groups, carry out plans, or communicate with students, professors are ensuring that students can see the potential of mastering social media platforms.28. According to Jade Johnson, what’s the benefit of social media skills ?A. Contributing to the possibility of acquiring good jobs.B. Bettering the communication between teachers and students.C. Improving students’ learning efficiency.D. Offering students a different look into things.29. Which of the following may NOT be one way to combine social media into teaching ?A. Carrying out plans.B. Doing some experiments.C. Creating discussion groups.D. Communicating with students.30. Why do the US university focus on the promotion of social media skills ?A. Because it can strengthen the universities’ competitiveness.B. Because it will improve the universities’ teaching quality.C. Because it will help professors carry out researches more easily.D. Because it will be of vital importance in this hi-tech society.31. Which of the following is true according to the passage ?A. Most students are unwilling to use social media.B. Social media skills are hard for students to master.C. Social media skills have been expanded to some courses.D. The learning of social media skills is a heavy burden for students.DProbably you and your family are worrying about the cost of college education, which is no secret one of the biggest investments（投资）. However, that won’t go to great avail in short time. Earning scholarships is a great way to help you. The Financial Aid Office at Illinois State helps students identify scholarship opportunities every day. Here is some advice to help you.Begin in your own backyardMany schools have a list of several scholarships right there. Local awards can often be easier to get as the applicant pools are smaller and less competitive. Check with community organizations, banks and credit unions, and large employers who may offer scholarship opportunities in your area.Find your “hook”While you’re searching, consider what makes you special as a student. Your unique characteristics can help your scholarship applications stand out, as most scholarship providers want to encourage a particular behavior. Develop a routineEvery scholarship is different in terms of when you can apply, what you need to submit（提交）, when the winner is announced, and how the money is given to you. Typically, scholarship applications open in the late fall or early spring for the next school year’s awards, but that also varies on the donor. There isn’t a single application or search engine that allows you to find and apply for everything. Visit the website of the Office of Student Financial Aid for lists of scholarship opportunities. Go through the lists to find the ones that match you best and keep track of when you can apply for them.32. The underlined part “go to great avail” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by________.A. take placeB. pay offC. go to collegeD. work out33. The author suggests applying for scholarships locally because________.A. the community offers more scholarshipsB. fewer students think of doing thatC. your high school will be ready to helpD. it is comparatively easy to get scholarships34. What kind of students have advantage of applying for scholarships？A. Students with special and high qualities.B. Hard-working students with good grades.C. Students with good behaviors from poor families.D. Students who are eager to get a good education.35. From the passage we know______________.A. there are different scholarships for different purposesB. a college student can apply for scholarships all the year aroundC. the donors determine who to help and when to open the applicationsD. a college student can directly apply for a scholarship via an app第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
