At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”For near ly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

新高考高中阅读强化限时训练26阅读理解+七选五（含参考答案）限时：35分钟满分：50分阅读（共两节，满分50 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分37.5 分）AWe gather a great deal of incidental knowledge from pets. If we look after them properly we learn what they like and dislike. We do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way. It is got without our realizing it.In keeping our dogs or cats we learn about various diseases that can affect them，and the cures for these diseases. We learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthy. In looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water. We get to know what kinds of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile（敌对的）to each other. We learn that animal，fish and birds have a lot of things in common with human beings.If children keep pets their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge. One little incident after another in which their pets are involved adds to their store of learning. It is a more interesting form of learning than that given in the biology lesson in school. People who keep pets should have a sense of responsibility towards them. Children，too，should be taught to be responsible. Pets are completely dependent on their owners and the owners should respond to this dependence by looking after them. Irresponsible behavior towards pets is a form of cruelty.In deciding to keep a pet we take on a task，we make ourselves responsible for providing proper food and shelter for the pet. In a crowded city like Hong Kong, where there is so little room for the exercise required by large pets，we should think twice before undertaking the responsibility of keeping one.( )1. In keeping pets，we learn that .A. pets dislike human beingsB. pets share what we haveC. human beings can gain knowledge by keeping petsD. pets and human beings gather a great deal of incidental knowledge( )2. For children .A. keeping pets adds to their troubleB. keeping pets widens their general knowledgeC. all kinds of knowledge are obtained by keeping petsD. incidental knowledge is more important than general knowledge( )3. In keeping pets，responsibility means .A. depending on themB. taking care of themC. writing to themD. teaching them参考答案：CBBB“You shall not steal. You shall not covet (垂涎) your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s..., nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.” (EXODUS)What would you do if you were unemployed, homeless and found a large sum of money? Pauline Nichter, 46 and her husband, Tom, 44, had both lost their jobs and were living in and out of motels (汽车旅馆) with their 11-year-old son, Jason.They were in danger of losing their car for failure to make payments on it.One day last winter, Pauline found a wallet containing a credit card, an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2,394 in cash at a shopping center in the Los Angels suburb (郊区) of Buena Park.“For a second I thought about taking the money,” she said later. “But only for a second. It wasn’t our money and we didn’t want to set a bad example for our son” She delivered the wallet and its contents to the nearest police station, where the owner reclaimed them. Police admitted that they were surprised when the Nichers walked into the police station with the wallet and the money.Word of her honesty quickly got out, and grateful community responded in kind. The Nochers received more than ten job offers and an apartment rent-free for six months. An anonymous (匿名的) donator brought the car payments up the date. Others gave cash. One elderly couple walked into the police station where Pauline had turned in the wallet and asked how much money had been in it . When they were told the amount, the man said, “ Then that’s what they deserve and write out a check for $ 2,400.At a news conference the tearful Pauline said, “ Never in a million years would I havethought this would happen to us. What we have received is far more than what was in the wallet.”( )4. Pauline Nicher and her husband _____.A. were in dangerB. had no carC. were out of workD. live in Buena Park( )5. How did the people in the community react to this event?A. Someone gave them a free house.B. Someone offered them a new car.C. Someone gave them $2,400 in cashD. Some people offered them some job opportunities.( )6. The underline word “reclaim” most probably means______.A. to obtain something usefulB. to express one’s gratitudeC. to find something that was lostD. to take back something that was yours( )7. The underline expression “ …brought the car payments up the date” means that someone_______.A. paid the rest of what they should pay for their carB. renewed their car without charging them for moneyC. bought them a car that was up-to-dateD. paid all the money for their newly-bought car参考答案：CDDACBill Gates’ childhood friends recognized that he was exceptional. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof(傻瓜) or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team.. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.”B ill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him. Lakeside was Seattle’s best school and was noted for its rigorous(严厉的) academic demands, a place where “even dumb kids were smart”.Lakeside allowed students to pursuer their own interests, to whatever extent theywished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.In 1968, the school made a decision that would change thirteen-year-old Bill Gates’ life and that of many of others, too.At Lakeside the students gained access to a computer—a Program Data Processor (PDP)--- through a teletype machine. Type in a few instructions on the teletype machine and a few seconds later the PDP would type back its response. Bill Gates was immediately hooked and so was his best friend at the time, Ken Evans, and another student, Paul Allen, who was two years older than Bill.Whenever they had free time, and sometimes when they didn’t, they would dash over to the computer room to use the machine. At fourteen, Bill was already writing short programs for the computer to perform. Early games’ programs such asTic-Tac-Toe, or Noughts and Crosses, and Lunar Landing were written in what was to become Bill’s second language, BASIC.One of the reasons Bill was so good at programs is that it is mathematical and logical. During his time at Lakeside, Bill scored a perfect eight hundred on a mathematics test.( )8. Bill Gates chose Lakeside to go to NOT because ______.A. it had excellent education in SeattleB. it developed students’ potential as much as possibleC. it provided conditions and equipment necessary for studentsD. the environment of the school is very clean( )9. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. Lakeside was a milestone (里程碑) in the course of Bill Gates’ successB. Bill pursued his interest in mathematics at LakesideC. Bill began to do programming like some early games knownD. Bill’s success is due to his mathematical and logical mind( )10. The word “dumb” most probably refers to _____.A. cleverB. intelligentC. stupidD.absent-minded( )11. The passage is mainly discussing ______.A. Bill Gates’ boyhoodB. Lakeside SchoolC. Bill GatesD. Bill Gates and Lakeside参考答案：DACDDMany people may have watched the film “March of the Penguins”, which shows a real group of birds in Antarctica. Imagine a group of fat black and white birds walking in a line. Suddenly, one penguin loses his balance and falls on the ice. Every time penguins fall down, people laugh. The animals are cute!People like the film very much. So much, in fact, that police in England think that it may be the reason behind a crime. A man went to a zoo in London and stole a baby penguin. Authorities think that the man stole the penguin after seeing the film and believe he wanted to give it away as a Christmas gift.Michael Gauthier-Clerc, an expert studying penguins, thinks that many people like penguins but some people do not understand them. He told The New York Times newspaper, “People love the penguin’s colors, its way of standing straight uprig ht and the way it walks.”These things make penguins seem cute to people, but there are good reasons for all of these things. For example, penguins move from side to side when they walk and may seem to be out of balance. But Doctor Gauthier-Clerc says that the penguins waddle to save energy. The penguin’s colour also has a special purpose. It protects the penguins when they are swimming. From below, larger animals cannot see the penguin’s white underside because it looks the same as the bright sky or ice. A nd from above, other animals cannot see the penguin’s black back against the dark ocean floor.The penguins’ colors protect them in nature. But scientists have found that some of these physical details also have an effect on humans. They make animals seem cute to people. Scientists believe that humans are very sensitive to things that are cute, such as human baby and even objects that may look like parts of a baby.Recent studies show that cute images affect the brain in a special way. A study done at the U niversity of Michigan tested young people’s reactions to images. It found that young people believed a message more if the message was joined by a cute picture. The researchers showed the young people two messages. One was a simple anti-smoking message. The other showed a cute animal telling them that smoking was bad. The conclusion turned out that the young people trusted the cute message more than the simple message.12. In the film “March of the Penguins”, ________.A. a baby penguin is stolenB. a penguin is sent out as a giftC. penguins are cute and attractiveD. penguins have a bad sense of balance13. It can be inferred from the passage that _______ .A. a walking penguin has more energy than a swimming oneB. a penguin walks in a funny way to prevent itself from fallingC. a shop selling baby products are likely to make more moneyD. a website with cute pictures may attract more young visitors14. Scientists have found that the penguins’ color can ________.A. change at different placesB. help them keep warmC. make people have pity on themD. protect them from being hunted15. The study carried out by the University of Michigan shows that _________.A. cute messages mislead peopleB. cuteness influences people’s judgmen tC. humans react to anything that is cuteD. a simple message is more convincing than a cute message参考答案：CDDB第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）Nowadays, many people love to travel. It is very common for people to go on a trip at any time. 16 Perhaps, the reason for its present popularity is that modern people have come to realize the benefits of traveling.Traveling provides many good opportunities for fun, adventure and discovery. When we visit other countries, we gain a better understanding of the people living there. We learn their cultures, history and background. We discover the similarities they have with us. 17 It is interesting to learn from people with different backgrounds.Traveling helps to enrich our lives. 18 When we visit interesting places, we discover and learn many things.

2021高考英语二轮阅读理解精选〔01〕及解析A(·湖北卷，A) Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy.Of course，this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine，I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.After all，the doctorpatient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科)．Mr.McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.I took a medical history from his daughter who'd accompanied him in the ambulance.She'd been his main carer for years.I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.“Has he lost any weight recently？〞I asked，“Well，it's funny you should mention that，but yes，〞she said slowly.There was silence for a few moments.“Why What are you worried about？〞she asked，I hesitated.She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told h er the truth.“Well，we need to prove it's not cancer.〞I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later，a nurse called me: “Mr.McMahon's daughter broke down—she said you told her he had cancer.〞My heart sank.By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.I stood silently at the end of the bed.My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr.McMahon，she turned to me.“Why on earth did you do that？〞she asked in disbelief.I looked at her and bit my lip.“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.〞I said，hanging_my_head.“And give her more to worry about？〞replied my consultan t.“You don't say the word ‘cancer’ until it's confirmed.Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.〞As it turned out，it wasn't cancer.But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear—and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this.In being truthful，I'd made the situation worse.原本在一位医生旳心目中，老实是第一位旳；而且在工作中也是奉行老实本分旳处世原那么.可是因为一次说了不够确切旳实话，却让一位病人受到了打击，这件事让这位医生得出了一个结论：老实有时候也会出错.1．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author ________.A．misunderstood the doctorpatient relationshipB．was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC．regarded honesty as the best policyD．had an unhealthy eating habit答案：C.作者意图题.从两个段落旳第一句话，字里行间“the best〞“important〞都透露出作者对于honesty旳看法.2．The author's consultant was angry with him because ________.A．he told the daughter what he suspectedB．he delayed running the necessary testsC．he failed to confirm the patient's diseaseD．he forgot what the consultant had advised答案：A.细节判断题.第四段旳开头已经说明因为我旳一番话，以及本段落旳最后一句话也可以读出正是因为我旳不假思索，让病人受到了打击，故consultant对我不满与气愤，应选A.3．The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para.4) because he was feeling ________.A．guilty B．hurtC．disappointed D．helpless答案：A.细节判断题.guilty意为：罪过感，羞愧，与划线局部“耷拉了脑袋〞在语境上非常符合.4．What lesson has the author learnt from his experienceA．Learning from parents is necessary.B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.答案：C.理解判断题.文章旳最后一句话，正说明了作者旳体会与结论：有时候，老实不受欢送.应选C.************************************************完毕B(·重庆卷，D) William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (与睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain〞. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and hisbrother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, thefollowing lines：Earth，receive an honoured guest：William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖.5．Which of the following can describe Yeats's familyA．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.C．It was a typically wealthy family.D．It had an artistic atmosphere.答案：D.细节理解题.根据短文第一段倒数第二句话可知：他从家人那儿继承了很好旳艺术鉴赏能力，他旳父亲与哥哥都是画家，证明他是在一个有艺术气氛旳家庭中长大.6．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats's lifeA．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.答案：C.细节理解题.根据短文第二段第二句话“He set himself...theatre in the late 1890s.〞可知A项不对.根据第三段第三句话“Though Yeats...to them〞可知，B项不对.根据第三段最后一句话可知，D项不对.由此可知C项正确.7．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H.Auden's linesA．Envy.

It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.〞The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟旳)LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have thepublic been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.Two other small Birminghambased digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality〞project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People's Archice is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.Gambles s ays: “Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before.〞投资数百万英镑旳伯明翰新建图书馆将会是目前很有代表性旳数字化图书馆，在这样旳图书馆，人们将会体验新旳阅览工具，并且能够真正做图书馆旳主人，即：能够参与图书内容旳增补与建议.9．The underlined part “its idea〞in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of ________.A．the equipment B．the projectC．the digital media D．the physical library答案：B.词义猜想题.根据下一句话旳信息词“the project is already providing...〞可以断定此处旳代词its 指旳就是the project.10．While visiting the Virtual LoB, the public can ________.A．get a general idea of the LoBB．meet many worldfamous expertsC．learn how to put up a library buildingD．understand how the specialists work on the project 答案：A.细节判断题.在倒数第三段中，信息句“Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB...〞可以给以提示：即：公众可以很好地了解LoB旳具体情况，即同选项A所说旳一样.11．Which of the following is TRUE of the LoB when it opensa．It offers better learning tools.b．It reaches users in different ways.c．It provides users with smart phones.d．It allows users to enrich its material.e．It gives nonstop physi cal and digital services.A．a，b，d B．a，c，eC．b，c，d D．b，d，e答案：A.细节判断题. 在文章旳第三段中提到这样“right tools for learning〞“used through many different ways 〞以及倒数第二段旳最后“add to and comment on the material〞都说明了关于开放时旳LoB旳情况，即同选项A.12．The text is most probably taken from ________.A．a computer book B．a library guideC．a project handbook D．a newspaper report答案：D.文章出处判断题.既然是针对于公众旳信息，应该是面对普通公众，即选择最群众化旳媒体，即新闻报道.D(·陕西卷，D) Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world，mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems Even if it would，is it the best solution Despite what it promises，GM technology actually has not increased the production potential(潜力)of any crop. In fact studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on majorGM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true，〞said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2021 World Bank report.As a matter of fact，scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which“green〞farming is supposed to be the first choice.主要讲转基因技术并不是解决世界饥饿问题最好旳方式.13．The author develops the second paragraph mainly________.A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by exampleD. by process答案：C.写作手法题中旳段落行文题.根据第二段第三行旳for instance(例如)可知，C项(by example通过举例)正确，排除by classification“通过分类〞/by comparison“通过类比〞/by process“根据事物开展流程〞.14．What does the underlined word “boost〞in the third paragraph probably meanA. Control.B. Evaluate.C. Obtain.D.

He makes his case in a new book, listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)：“We've become so accustomed to noise, there's almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But it's never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health,and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.〞“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono (与服)brushing against the floor.〞“Deaf people are very attentive(专注旳)in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language，they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). It's astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. 〞我们生活在一个充满噪音旳世界里，并且习以为常.但让我们安静下来倾听吧，我们会发现世界是更加美好旳，这对我们是有益旳.17. What does the phrase “to put a sock in it〞in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. To be quiet.B. To be colorful.C. To be full of love.D. To be attentive to someone.答案：A.词义猜想题.由下文内容可知，George Prochnik认为人们习惯了周围噪音旳存在，但却没有意识到安静旳环境对人们是有益旳，故画线局部点出了他旳观点，即希望世界是安静旳.18. What does Prochnik say about usA. We are used to quietnesss.B. We have to put up with noise.C. We do not think silence to be beneficial.D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available.答案：C.细节理解题.由第二段第一句话可知，我们习惯了噪音旳存在，因而对安静对人们有益这一说法有很深旳偏见，故C项正确.19.

专题限时检测(二十六) 任务型阅读(一)(限时24分钟)A(2019·南京、盐城一模)As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve — and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your selfperception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you)．This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions.For example, most of us think that we're good listeners, but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your selfperception and reputation, you should use a 360 degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI.The key is to find one that guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on development and not on performance assessment.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be.Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在地) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at theintersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (渴望)．Understanding the impacts of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific.You should also take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you're developing, no matter how small.By starting to change your routine reactions, you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.PassageoutlineSupporting detailsIntroduction Though globally acknowledged, EI still (1)________professionals, for they aren't aware how to improve it.Spot the(2)_______betweenselfperceptionandreputation·With external reality check, we are(3)_________ of understanding ourinteractions accurately.·We are (4)________to change our behaviorby getting an outside feedback.·We are expected to (5)_________ howselfperception differs from reputation inall aspects.Find out what(6)______ to us·We should clearly (7)________our goals andfocus our effort on improving ourselvesinstead of just learning a skill.·(8)________the outside feedback with ourgoals can give us support on the way tostrengthening our EI.Approachesto strengthening EIIdentify what changesBe (9)_________about the actions and take advantage of every possible opportunity towe will make practice EI skills.Summary (10)________useless old habits and develop new ones in areas forimprovement others have identified with your own goals tostrengthen your EI.语篇解读：本文主要讲述了提高情商的方法。
高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案
高考英语二轮复习阅读训练及答案高考英语二轮复习阅读训练1：What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.learning better at school shows power in your jobthe better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.we should think about how to find our career47. From the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he will _____.A. have no hope in his future workB. be hopeful to find a suitable jobC. regret not having worked harder at schoolD. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work48. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing49. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.A. heavy- handedB. the bestC. importantD. skilled50. The passage mainly discusses ___________.A. The relationship between school performance and careerB. how to get a jobC. How to show strengths in your workD. working experience and knowledge at school二轮复习阅读训练答案：46- 50 BDCAA高考英语二轮复习阅读训练2：In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity, others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self –worth relied (依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life – and – death affairs. In their single – minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner andpays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to se ek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self – respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discovera new meaning in competition.41.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self – respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition42.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.43.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success44.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those witha desire to fail ?A.Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.Ones success in competition needs great efforts.C.Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.45.Which point of view may the author agree to?A.Every effort should be paid back.petition should be encouraged.C.Winning should be a life – and – death matter.D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.二轮复习阅读训练答案：41.B 42.A 43.C 44.A 45.D。

He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”This man is the world famous writer. Gabriel Garica Marquez.Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6,1928. During his early life, G arcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother’s way of storytelling later influenced his own methods.When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aracataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy.During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aracataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood-writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he publishedhis first book called “Leaf Storm”.For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aracataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful.

And most people also compare a teacher to a gardener who takes great care of various plants. Ever since my high school days, my heart has been set on becoming a teacher. I am now studying at a teacher’s college, and I am making great efforts to study, because there are so many things to learn about education. But I thoroughly enjoy my studies, and every day I am amazed at the great influence education has on the human soul.I think it is only natural that I have always aspired to become a teacher because my father and his father were also teachers. My father is now retired, following a brilliant career, and it has always been his dream to have me, his only son, follow in his footsteps. Although it sounds like my father’s dream that I will become a teacher, it is also my dream and I am quite willing to realize the dream. I still have one more year to go at university, and after I graduate, I will go to the western part of China to become a teacher at a village school.I unde rstand a teacher’s job will not make me a millionaire, but it is not the prospect of making a lotof money that has propelled my ambition to become a teacher. Rather, it is my sincere desire to assume a responsible role in society, and make as many people well—educated as possible through my hard endeavors. Education plays an essential and important role in our society. If everyone can receive a good education, it will not only do good to our country but also benefit individuals’ lives. Ten years from now, therefore, I hope to be established as an excellent teacher with hundreds of thousands of students who have benefited from me and carry on the family tradition with efficiency and honour.25.

That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses(床垫) and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried—up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633一square—mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it’s cool: Ridding a Pulley(滑轮)—operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure.

You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley—drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B & BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the f amily pet.

The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? A t that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. Whil e I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. D o not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!33. How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. Disappointed.B. Anxious.C. Curious.D. Relieved.34. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means .A. to think carefully before you make friendsB. to start to fly frist to see what will happen in the skyC. to make an effort even if the result is uncertainD. to get up from the chair and greet somebody35.

高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解精选1So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them・ It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible^.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest （探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.26.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that.A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading27.The teaching of reading will be successful if _______________ ・A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable28.The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means"_____________A.inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion29.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ______________•A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children's experience30.The main idea of the passage is that ______________ .A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated that generally believed【答案与解析】26—30 DBBAC木文是一篇议论文，在对传统的阅读教学方式进行批判的同时，论述了作者自己阅读的教学观：阅读的教与学是两个完全不同的过程。

2020届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解细节理解类【分类真题】（2019年课表全国卷二，C）Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s "me" time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）. "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D.Restaurant service.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。

高考英语二轮复习阅读练习1：Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. Areally fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street bya car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you haveto decide what action to take.In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to goand live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger isno longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.60. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _________.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful of pain61. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.A. they have gained experienceB. they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC. they jump out of the way in timeD. they are calm in face of danger62. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Too much fear is harmfulB. Fear is always something helpfulC . Fear is something that can be avoidedD. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63. The best title for this passage should be __________.A. No Pains, No GainsB. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D . The Reason Why People Fear二轮复习阅读练习答案：60—63 CBAC高考英语二轮复习阅读练习2：Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twiceas big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about thefloating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat ordrink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers canalso get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage is to____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch二轮复习阅读练习答案：51.D。

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well－equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.

People in the western state of California who are in the United States illegally can now request a driver’s license. The law went into effect on January 1.California is not the first American state withsuch a law, but it has the largest of illegal immigrants. More than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. Among them was Christian Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado entered the United States from El Salvador. (萨尔瓦多）eight years ago without permission from the U. S. government. Some call such people "illegal immigrants" Others call them "undocumented immigrants".Mr. Alvarado thinks it so exciting，for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. But some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. Armando Botello is a spokesman for the California Department of Motor Vehicles，or DMV. He says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared.The new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words "Federal Limits Apply". That means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. Ana Garcia, working at the Central American Resource Center，says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. Civil rights groups say the police and others will not.Dan Schnur，a political scientist at the University of Southern California, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. But Professor Schnur argued that young，white Americans generally support immigration reform, including giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.“It’s simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did. ” Professor Schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in California will spread throughout the United States.1. Why did the new law make Mr. Alvarado excited?A. Because he got his driving license as a legal immigrant.B. Because he became a legal immigrant of California.C. Because a law went into effect for the new immigrants.D. Because he could seek a driv er’s license according to a new state law.2.What is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens?A. The words “Federal Limits Apply's " will abuse illegal immigrants.B. People are not permitted to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building using the new licenses.C. They can be used to act against the police and other people.D. With the words "Federal Limits Apply", immigrants can enjoy special rights.3. What can we infer about the new license?A. Some undocumented immigrants have concern over it.B. It is intended to reward illegal behavior.C. It has come into effect throughout the United States.D. Dan Schnur believes that it is more acceptable to young Americans.4. What's the public's attitude towards the new law released on January 1 in California?A. supportiveB. debatableC. doubtfulD. neutral参考答案1—4、DBAB【阅读理解】科普知识类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
