2019高考英语二轮专项总练习（全国通用版）－百日阅读强化练习（41）AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note----“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”----and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch 〔门廊〕. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.51. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer____.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother52. What does “this” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The milkman’s magic powerB. The milkman’s kindness to meC. The note to change an orderD. The home delivery service53. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.54. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.55. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.BAs a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2017, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2017, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute〔降落伞〕, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.56. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.D. She moved into a retirement community.57. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. make her argument persuasiveB. show her admiration for himC. compare their health conditionD. build up her own reputation58. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. Excited.B. Regretful.C. Nervous.D. Scared.59. What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A. The beautiful clouds.B. The wonderful view.C. The company of Jay.D. The one-minute free fall.60. What is the best title of the passage?A. Impossible is nothing.B. A dream made come true.C. An unforgettable skydiving.D. I Went Skydiving at 84!CChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, placewhereover1,100peoplesharepersonalstories,information,andresources.

2019届高考英语二轮复习训练01阅读理解1 Word版含解析
强化训练01阅读理解(一)(45分钟，100分)APeople aren't walking any more－if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune(免疫的), for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced－and beat－a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise－the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.1. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.2. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that __________.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one's mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease3. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A. A queue of cars.B. A ray of traffic light.C. A flash of lightning.D. A stream of people.4. What is the author's intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up driving.C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.【语篇解读】本文主要关于步行对于身体和心灵的益处。

was extremely tight-fisted towards us children.His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus wheneverI came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met me,even in severe weather.If I grumbled,he’d say in his loudest father-voice,“That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached a stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew,each time I’d come home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So!My son,it’s you!”he’d say,his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied,“Yes,Dad,it’s me.I’m home.”5.What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?( )A.Admitted readily.B.Explained clearly.C.Agreed lamely.D.Spoke unhappily.6.What made the author feel uncomfortable was .A.the tiredness after long hours in labsB.the fear of seeing something movingC.the feeling of being less than valuedD.the loneliness of riding the bus home7.The author’s father watched behind the hedge because .A.he was concerned about his son’s safetyB.he wanted to help his son build up courageC.he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD.he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone8.Which of the following can be the best title for the

Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
2019届高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解 分层训练 含解析
阅读理解·分层训练·知能双升(2015·新课标全国卷Ⅱ)AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy－five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night. Fortunately, I didn't get any channels showing all－night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn't return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all－night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.24．How does the author sound when telling the story?A．Curious. B．Anxious.C．Cautious. D．Humorous.语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文.作者用诙谐、幽默的语气讲述了自己高价购买的一台电视机给自己带来的诸多烦恼.长难句分析：I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit.分析：这是一个主从复合句.连词because引导原因状语从句，同时该从句又包含了一个由that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词clothes.译文：我能够在一年多前买下它(电视机)是因为我让我的亲戚们在我生日时给我钱而不是买大量不合身的衣服.21．解析：细节理解题.依据第一段中的“I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy－five dollars less than I had paid”可知答案.答案：C22．解析：词义猜测题.结合画线部分所在的句子“The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night”可知，此处指作者一开始把它带回家时，一切如此顺利以至于作者一直看到电视台“停止播放节目”.故选A.答案：A23．解析：细节理解题.依据最后一段的“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now”可知，最终作者到维修店才使电视机恢复正常.答案：D24．解析：推理判断题.由文章第一段的“My color television has given me nothing but a headache”，第二段中的“I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set”．以及最后一段中的“but I keep expecting more trouble”可知，作者用幽默的语气描述了这台电视机给自己带来的烦恼.答案：DBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self－conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places —and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12－inch plate instead of a 10－inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A．their home comforts B．their body shapeC．house buying D．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people ________.A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A．Eat quickly.B．Play fast music.C．Use smaller spoons.D．Turn down the lights.28．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Is Your House Making You Fat?B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self－ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?语篇解读：这是一篇科普性说明文.最新研究表明，房屋的窗帘、灯光设计、墙壁颜色、餐具大小等都会影响食欲和食量，进而影响节食效果和身材.长难句分析：Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self－conscious(难为情) when they're in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots offood.分析：这是一个主从复合句.for引导原因状语从句，when在句中引导时间状语从句.分析：昏暗的环境更有可能刺激人们暴饮暴食，因为在这种光线暗淡的情况下人们往往会不那么难为情，所以就更有可能吃大量的食物.25．解析：推理判断题.依据第一段中的”Your house may have an effect on your figure ...whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off”，再结合该段最后一句“Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan”.可知，B项正确.答案：B26．解析：细节理解题.依据第三段第三句“In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room”可知，在蓝色环境中人们的食量会减少33%，因此身处蓝色的环境中有助于减少食量.答案：B27．解析：推理判断题.依据第四段的内容可知，吃饭吃得快的话会吃得多，因此为了帮助减缓吃饭的速度，吃饭时可播放舒缓音乐，排除A、B项；D项与第二段首句的内容相矛盾；依据第五段的内容可知，使用小型的餐具有助于减少食物摄入量.故选C.答案：C28．解析：标题判断题.本文主要讲的是房屋的窗帘、灯光设计、墙壁颜色、餐具大小等方面均会影响食欲和食量，进而影响节食效果和身材，故A项“你的房屋在使你发胖吗？”作文章标题最佳.答案：ACMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap－year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS)．That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well－planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship — young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term－time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，” he said.29．What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A．It is flexible in length.B．It is a time for relaxation.C．It is increasingly popular.D．It is required by universities.30．According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ________.A．are better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobsC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities31．How does Owain James feel about the gap－year phenomenon?A．He's puzzled. B．He's worried.C．He's surprised. D．He's annoyed.32．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A．Attend additional courses.B．Make plans for the new term.C．Earn money for their education.D．Prepare for their graduate studies.语篇解读：这是一篇社会生活类的新闻报道.越来越多的高中毕业生没有直接去上大学而是选择了间隔年，这样他们可以打工攒够费用上大学，将来能更好地适应大学生活.长难句分析：The gap－year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.分析：主语是The gap－year phenomenon，谓语是originated，后面是介词短语作状语.译文：间隔年现象起源于牛桥申请者在十一月入学考试和下一个学年开始前的这几个月.29．解析：推理判断题.根据第一段中的“More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university”和第三段中的“That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year”可推断，间隔年这种现象越来越普遍.答案：C30．解析：推理判断题.根据第三段中的“Students who take a well－planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible”可推知，选择间隔年的学生将来能够更好地适应大学生活.答案：A31．解析：推理判断题.根据第四段的首句“But not everyone is happy”和下文内容可推断，Owain James认为间隔年现象从一个侧面反映了目前大学生上学压力大、费用高的现状，因此他感到担忧.答案：B32．解析：细节理解题.根据第四段中的“It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree”和最后一句可知，大多数学生会充分利用间隔年打工挣钱攒学费.答案：CDChoose Your One－Day Tours!Tour A — Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge —￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.
