高三英语课外阅读the two brothers
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
1. What can you read from the poem named “The Road not Taken”?
2. How do you like the choice made by the poet himself?
3. Do you have the similar experiences or thoughts of life to share with us?
The Two Brothers
1 Two brothers set out on a journey together. At noon they lay down in a forest to rest. When they woke up they saw a stone lying next to them. There was something written on the stone, and they tried to make out what it was.
2 "Whoever finds this stone," they read, "let him go straight into the forest at sunrise. In the forest a river will appear; let him swim across the river to the other side. There he will find a she-bear and her cubs. Let him take the cubs from her and run up the mountain with them, without once looking back. On the top of the mountain he will see a house, and in that house will he find happiness."
3 When they had read what was written on the stone, the younger brother said:
4 "Let us go together. We can swim across the river, carry off the bear cubs, take them to the house on the mountain, and together find happiness."
5 "I am not going into the forest after bear cubs," said the elder brother, "and I advise you not to go. In the first place, no one can know whether what is written on this stone is the truth--perhaps it was written in jest. It is even possible that we have not read it correctly. In the second place, even if what is written here is the truth--suppose we go into the forest and night comes, and we cannot find the river. We shall be lost. And if we do find the river, how are we going to swim across it? It may be broad and swift. In the third place, even if we swim across the river, do you think it is an easy thing to take cubs away from a she-beer? She will seize us, and instead of finding happiness, we shall perish, and all for nothing. In the fourth place, even if we succeeded in carrying off the bear cubs, we could not run up a mountain without stopping to rest. And, most important of all, the stone does not tell us what kind of happiness we should find in that house. It may be that the happiness awaiting us there is not at all the sort of happiness we would want."
6 "In my opinion," said the younger brother, "you are wrong. What is written on the stone could not have been put there without reason. And it is all perfectly clear. In the first place, no harm will come to us if we try. In the second place, if we do not go, someone else will read the inscription on the stone and find happiness, and we shall have lost it all. In the third place, if you do not make an effort and try hard, nothing in the world will succeed. In the fourth pace: I should not want it thought that I was afraid of anything."
7 The elder brother answered him by saying: "The proverb says: 'In seeking great happiness small pleasures may be lost.' And also: 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' "
8 The younger brother replied: "I have heard: 'He who is afraid of the leaves must not go into the forest.' And also: 'Beneath a stone no water flows.' "
9 Then the younger brother set off, and the elder brother remained behind.
10 No sooner had the younger brother gone into the forest than he found the river, swam across it, and there on the other side was the she-beer, fast asleep. He took her cubs, and ran up the mountain without looking back. When he reached the top of the mountain the people came out to meet him with a carriage to take him into the city, where they made him their king.
11 He ruled for five years. In the sixth year, another king, who was stronger than he, waged war against him. The city was conquered, and he was driven out.
12 Again the younger brother became a wanderer, and he arrived one day at the house of the elder brother. The elder brother was living in a village and had grown neither rich nor poor. The two brothers rejoiced at seeing each
other, and at once began telling of all that had happened to them.
13 "You see," said the elder brother, "I was right. Here I have lived quietly and well, while you, though you may have been a king, have seen a great deal of trouble."
14 "I do not regret having gone into the forest and up the mountain," replied the younger brother. "I may have nothing now, but I shall always have something to remember, while you have no memories at all." Comprehension and Vocabulary

2019届上海高三英语二模汇编--阅读B篇(解析版)
2019届高三英语二模汇编——阅读B篇 1、2019黄浦二模 Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (B) ● Stocky, slow-moving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length ● Flippers are a third of body length; variable dorsal fin size and shape; saw-toothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving ● Bumpy tubercles on top of head ● Body colour is dark brown to black; often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes; such patterns enable individual recognition ● Bushy blow, occasionally V-shaped ● 270-400 olive baleen plates Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groove-throated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde’s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once common in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males compete for mates either by physical fight or by song. Females give birth to their young every two to three years; some non-breeding females probably remain in the southern waters during winter. Young humpback whales return to their area of birth but in later life some wander between breeding areas. Humpbacks eat small shrimps and other schooling prey, such as fish, forming small, cooperative groups of two to three individuals to feed. Similar species: Easily identifiable due to a ‘hump’ back when submerging, but at a distance may be confused with other species that raise their flukes when diving, such as sperm, right and blue whales. Protection status:Recovering well from past whaling and now numerous in some former migration and aggregation areas, rarely seen in others.
高三英语课外阅读love is the best legacy
As a young man, A1 was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal disorder, neither A1 nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the malady was actually acute appendicitis and the boy died suddenly that night. Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, A1‘s emotional health deteriorated under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his 6-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than A1 could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him cope. In time A1 became an alcoholic. As the alcoholism progressed, A1 began to lose everything he possessed – his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually A1 died alone in a San Francisco motel room. When I heart of A1‘s death, I reacted with the same disdain the world sh ows for one who ends his life with nothing material to show for it. ―What a complete failure!‖ I thought. ―what a totally wasted life!‖ As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew A1‘s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere. I hadn‘t heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. ―I‘m really puzzled by soothing‖, I said. ―I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?‖ Ernie sat qu ietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, ―From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, A1 came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ?I love you, son.‘‖ Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge A1 as a failure. He had not left any material possession behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known. 1. Al's elder son probably died of acute appendicitis due to ________ according to this passage. A. lack of care and nutrition B. the couple's carelessness C. serious stomachache D. too much alcohol 2. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. Given more attention, the boy could be saved. B. Al eventually became an alcoholic without any reason. C. Al's wife was also dead because of her elder son's death. D. The boy's death couldn't be avoided even if he was given more attention. 3. How did the writer evaluate Al's son, Ernie in this passage? A. Kind. B. Caring. C. Loving. D. All above. 4. The purpose of writing this passage for the writer is to show ________. A. we should reevaluate Al's meaning of life B. love is the best heritage in our life C. Ernie is a kind, caring and loving son D. Al's death is a totally wasted life as well

小学语文阅读训练100篇(附参考答案)
1．快乐与感触 依稀记得在我两三岁的时候，我天天跟着妈妈到学校里玩耍，那时妈妈在学校里给幼儿班代课。课间一群比我大点的孩子们总是围着我说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的，也有不停地给我手中或嘴里塞干粮的。他们一听到铃声嘴里“ 哦———” 着飞也似的进了教室。于是我便一人悠闲自在地在校园里溜达：一步一步地踱到东边看看美丽的花儿；爬到西边的球台上翻着晒晒太阳；听到南边教室里悠扬的歌声，于是又跑到窗户下踮着脚使劲儿地仰起头向里看；仰倦了头嘴里嘟嘟地哼着，若无其事的来到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下，看着那些花花绿绿的条条块块，也不知道是些什么。 如今，我已是那时年龄的四倍了，仍在这熟悉温暖的校园里，那时一切不懂的，今天都明白了。那时的快乐依在，那时的天真依在。不过现在我所看到的、听到的、感悟的比那时多得多了。 清晨的校园，阳光钻透东边茂密的柳林，斑驳的光点印在绿绿的草坪上。无数只鸟儿横着或倒挂在柔柔的柳条上凑响清脆的晨曲。在通向教师办公大楼的水泥道上，陆陆续续晃过一群高大的身影———我们的老师，他们又上班去了。 当校园正中升起鲜艳的五星红旗时，悦耳的歌声和朗朗的读书声早已把校园装点得生机勃勃。我再不需要像过去那样踮脚仰头地去向往了。我尽心地在这宽敞明亮的教室里学习，聆听着老师的教诲，享受着群体的温暖与关爱。 课间，我们三三俩俩去拉着或牵着幼儿班的那些小娃娃，说啊、笑啊、眯眯眼做做鬼脸什么的，也有不停地给他们手中或嘴里塞泡泡糖的。有一天，我把三四个小娃娃牵到北面那两块瓷砖镶嵌的大地图下，学着老师的样子摇头晃脑、指着地图比比划划地讲：“这是中国，这是长江、那是黄河……，我们的学校在这里，要记住，别忘记。看我的手好大，把一个省都罩住了。” 小娃娃们叽叽喳喳地笑个不停，我也笑得前俯后仰。 上课铃响了，我们“哦———”着飞也似的进了教室。那天我们进了教室，唱完了一首长长的歌，没见老师来，于是我站起来对大家说：“大家先读读书吧，我去办公室看看”。话音刚落，只见李老师一瘸一拐地走进教室。同学们注视着他的脚。原来他脚上缠着一圈大大的药纱布。我们明白他的脚受伤了。他开始给我们讲课，和往常一样站着，不时还转去转来。一会儿，我从他变化了的语调中感到：他的脚疼痛难忍了。我忍不住环视一下四周，发现所有同学的眼里都水晶晶的，此刻我心头一热，眼泪夺眶而出。这天我在日记中写道：“在我们快乐的时候，我们的老师也许正痛苦着；在我们获取的时候，我们的老师正在奉献着；在我们成长的时候，我们的老师正在消亡着。” 太阳依旧从东边升起，灿烂的阳光总是洒满校园。当我的年龄到了是现在的若干倍的时候，我会依然记起今天的快乐与感触。 1、作者的感触是什么？（4分） 答： 。 2、在文中找出拟人的一句话写在下面。（1分） 3、用“～～～”标出文中照应的句子。（2分） 4、在文中找出三对反义词写在下面。（3分） 、、 5、“ 哦——”中的“ ———”号起作用。（2分） “一群高大的身影———我们的老师，” 中的“ ———”号起作用。（2分）6、把你对“陆陆续续晃过一群高大的身影”的理解写在下面。（4分）

1 Artificial Intelligence: Friend And Foe[M] 人工智能：亦敌亦友 来源: FORBES DEC. 26 2017 1 Artificial intelligence has a huge role to play on both sides of the cybersecurity equation. The industry faces a protracted and severe skill shortage. AI can perform both rote management tasks more quickly and efficiently, without getting bored or distracted. It can also learn new and better security practices from the evolving digital framework it inhabits. (1) In ou r world whe re conne cti vit y has far ou tpac ed securit y, int ell igent a gents that ca n h eal and defend themse lves are invaluabl e all ies. Machine learning has already proven effective in sandbox environments at exploring potential vulnerabilities and devising defenses.、 2 But cybercriminals are developing their own AI, and are unlikely to do so ethically. In legitimate lab settings, AI can be carefully monitored and trained for years to be predictable and reliable. (2)Cybercriminals are less likely to avoid these potentially dangerous side effects, favoring speed over safet y. Malware rings resembling intelligent swarms of (一大群) angry bees are already starting to appear, weaponizing devices against their owners. 3 It is the rise of the hive (数据仓库工具) . Today the term botnet refers to automated, zombie-like devices that are remotely programmed to target other vulnerable systems with malware (恶意软件) , or to infect them via blunt-force attacks, such as denial of service. Botnets are dangerous and account for billions of unauthorized network communications every quarter. The hivenet, however, is much more frightening because each unit of the hivenet, a swarmbot, will itself be powered by AI. (3)Swarmbots will be able to make autonomous decisions without relying on a botnet herder and join togethe r int o larger autonom ous thi nking networks. The potential for hivenet damage is substantially greater than anything we have faced from already-potent botnets. 4 (4)That’s why one of the most serious threats we face in 2018 and beyond is malware with the capa cit y to learn and gro w throu gh it s own su cces ses . Polymorphic (多态的) malware with pre-coded algorithms (算法) designed to subvert (破坏) countermeasures and screens is already a reality. But that approach simply generates millions of slight variations on the same theme.

美文阅读 1：生命的旅程
Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Do not set your goals by what other people think important. Only you know what is best for you. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life. Do not give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other. Do not be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Do not dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose. Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
人生的旅程 不要跟人攀比而妄自菲薄，我们的独特之处正在于与众不同。 不要按别人的 标准设定目标，只有你自己才明白什么最合适。 不要对内心深处的东西漠然视之，对待它们要 像性命一样看重，没有它们生活就没有意义。 不要沉迷往事或者只在意将来而让生命从指缝间 流失。生活要一天天度过，生命的每一天才过充实。 只要还能给予就不要轻易放弃。除非你停 止努力，一切都没有真正终结。靠着脆弱的联系我们才聚在一起。 不怕遭遇风险，正是通过承 担风险我们学会了勇敢。 不要说爱情难觅而拘之门外，得到爱情的最快是奉献爱。失去爱的最 快方法是抓得太紧。 守护爱的最佳方式是给它装上翅膀。 不要摒弃梦想， 没有梦想就没有希望，
没有希望就没有目标。 不要匆匆忙忙过生活，忘记了曾经抵达何处，又举步何处。生活不是一 场赛跑，而是一次时时驻足观赏的旅行
美文阅读 2 ：永远的朋友
"A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out." A Forever Friend Sometimes in life, you find a special friend: someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete. Because you need not worry, you have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end.
“别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起。” 永远的朋友 有时候在生活中，你会找到一个 特别的朋友：他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活；他会把你逗得开怀大笑； 他会让你相信人间有真情；他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。 这就 是永远的友谊。 当你失意，当世界变得黯淡与空虚，你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、 空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。 你 转身走开时，真正的朋友会紧紧相随。你迷失方向时，真正的朋友会引导你、鼓励你。真正的 朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。如果你找到了这样的朋友，你会快乐，觉得人 生完整。因为你无需再忧虑。 你拥有了一个真正的朋友， 永永远远，永无止境。
