AShanghai-More Shanghai people are renting cars to travel over the coming National Day holiday, Tom reported today. Most cars in large local car-rental companies such as Yongda, Anji and Dazhong are leased so far with the Buick Sport Utility Vehichle (SUV) in high demand.Santana and Jetta were previously the most popular car models rented by Shanghai people for travel, while the high-end Buick models have generated great interest among locals renting cars these years. However, the rent on a Buick GL or GS model is between 650 yuan and 750 yuan a day, nearly double those of the Santana and Jetta cars.Compared with Santana, Buick looks better, has greater capabilities and is safer and more comfortable, said a car leaser. “I don‟t mind paying a higher cost for a Buick to enjoy the holiday,” he said.SUV cars are very popular in the car renting market, according to some car rental firms.“All the 31 Buick GL8SUV cars were leased out several days ago,” said an employee with the Shanghai Yongda Car Rental Co.local people are more inclined (倾向于) to go travel with groups of friends, so SUV cars are a better choice, said an industry analyst (分析家). Moreover, SUV car are safer on rugged and rough roads, the analyst said.According to the data, most people rented cars for seven days; a less number rented them for two or three days.1. What‟s the best title for the passage ?A. How Shanghai People Spend Their HolidaysB. Why So Many Shanghai People Rented Cars for HolidaysC. More Shanghai Rent Cars for HolidaysD. Shanghai Rent SUV Instead of Santana and Jetta2. According to the passage we can see SUV is ________.A. the name of a car-rental companyB. the name of an expensive carC. the name of an ordinary carD. the place for the holiday3. At present for how much money can you rent a Santana or Jetta for a day ?A. Between 650 yuan and 750 yuan.B. Between 350 yuan and 380 yuan.C. About 450 yuan.D. Less than 300 yuan.4. Why do many people choose SUV cars for their holidays ?A. Because they are cheaper.B. Because they are convenient on rugged and rough roads.C. Only because they can run on bugged and tough roads.D. Because no Santana and Jetta can be rented now.BIn many ways, our society doesn‟t simply prepare for the kinds of lives that the elderly must lead. We have made medi cal advances that allow people to live longer than ever before, but we do not seem to know what to do with them after we have saved their lives. Too little allowance (津贴) is made for the person who is no longer earning a living, who can not walk long distances or drive a car, or who may have physical or mental disabilities that keep him from communicating with others. The institutional (慈善机构的) care we give our older people is a good reflection of the overall attitude of our society toward the aged.In the past few years, nursing homes have received wide attention as boring, meaningless places where old people often have little else to do but wait for the end of their lives. Elderly wards in mental hospitals are even worse. One of the mostshocking things abort nursing homes has been the unwillingness of people on the outside to show real concern for what happens in these institutions. Even people who are entrusting (委托) a parent to the care of a home rarely ask about the nurse-parent ratio (比率), about the kinds of creative facilities or physical treatment equipment available, or about the frequency of doctors‟ visits.And the government has provided federal money without enforcing high standards of care. In fact federal standards were lowered in 1974. Therefore, in some sense our concern for the aged seems to be moving backwards, not forwards. This picture is in striking contrast to the treatment of respectable patriarchs (男长者) and matriarchs (女长者) in many societies.1. What would be the most suitable title for this passage?A. Failure of Care for the ElderlyB. The ElderlyC. Institutional CareD. A National Shame2. We can conclude from this passage that the writer feels ____.A. nursing homes should be got rid ofB. a country that can help people live longer should also be able to care for them betterC. people have no thanks toward their parentsD. our society‟s institutions need to be reformed3. The writer believes that people who place a parent in a nursing home should ____.A. demand higher federal standardsB. consider the example set in other countriesC. be ashamed of not keeping the parents in their own homesD. investigate it first4. The writer complains ____.A. about the indifference of some people towards nursing homesB. about the shortage of equipment in nursing homeC. that nursing homes keep the aged from communicating with othersD. both A and BCSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The most simple things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves for the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.1. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the followingexcept _____.A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness2. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, __________.A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad3. What is the main idea of the last passage?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesickness.C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar with the new culture.DIn the U.S., people p refer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don‟t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don‟t kno w, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many peop le. If you can‟t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you‟re taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for t he evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.1. Which statement is true?A. American people like sitting with people they don‟t know.B. Tips shouldn‟t be given to the waiter or waitress.C. Orange juice is served before you orderD. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.2. What does the underlined word “doggie bag” mean in the article? I t means ______.A. a bag with a picture of a dog on itB. a bag used to carry dogsC. a small bag for taking the food left over home to enjoy it laterD. a small bag for taking the food left over home for dogs3. Sunday dinner is _______.A. a dinner in the eveningB. a big noon mealC. a big lunch SundayD. a supper on Sunday专项限时训练•阅读理解（一）答案与解析A篇1.答案A解析:概括主旨题。

2024届高考语文现代文阅读-限时训练合集小说（一）阅读下面的文字，完成问题。
黔小景沈从文三月间的贵州深山里，雨总是特别多。
官路上，这时节正有多少人在泥里雨里奔走。
有送递文件的公门中人，有向远亲奔差事的人，有骑了马回籍的小官，有正行法事的男女巫师。
最多的是小商人，长年从不休息，在这官路上来往。
春雨一落后，路上难走了。
于是许多路旁的小客舍里，天黑前都有了商人落脚。
客舍主人便忙碌起来，预备水，预备火，照料一切，客人好吃喝时，还得为他们备酒杀鸡。
客人把饭吃过后，就在火堆边烘着，谈到各样撒野粗糙故事。
过一会，有人想到明早赶路的事，打了哈欠，火光也渐渐熄灭了，外面雨声或者更大了一点，或者已结束了，于是这些人觉得应当到了睡觉时候了。
有一天，有那么两个人，落脚到一个孤单的客栈里。
他们因为在路上耽误了些时间，掉在大帮商人后面，落雨天气照例昏黑又极早，所以不到黄昏，两人就停顿下来了。
主人是一个孤老，头发全是白的，走路腰弯弯的如一匹白鹤。
今天是他的生日，这老人白天一个人还念到这生日，想不到晚上就来那么两个客人了。
两个客一面洗脚，一面就问有什么吃的。
这老人站到一旁好笑，说：“除了干豇豆，什么也没有了。
”年青那个商人说：“你们开铺子，用豇豆待客吗?”“平常有谁肯到我这里住?到我这儿坐坐的，全是接一个火吃一袋烟的过路人。
我这干豇豆本来留着自己吃的，你们是我这店里今年第一个客。
对不起你们，马马虎虎凑乎吃一顿吧。
我们这里买肉，远得很，隔寨子还有二十四里路，下了雨路也走不得。
”门外边雨渐渐已止住了，天上有些地方云开了眼，云开处皆成为桃红颜色，在黄昏里明媚如画，看那样子明天会放晴了。
坐在门边的主人，好象十分快乐，象小孩子的神气自言自语说着：“晴了，晴了，我昨天做梦，也梦到天会晴。
”他望着客人把脚洗完了，赶忙走到房里去，取出两双鞋子来。
那个年青一点的客，一面穿鞋一面说：“怎么你的鞋子这样同我的脚合式!”年长商人就笑了：“这兆头是中在你讨媳妇的，我应当喝你的喜酒。

高三英语限时训练一总分65分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共7个小题：每小题2.5分，满分17.5分）AWhat do the random, scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’ papers mean? When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class, he will probably be criticized for daydreaming. But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.In an experiment conducted b y the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places. Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time, without paying attention to neatness, while the rest were given no such instructions. After the tape had finished, all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places. The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places, compared to only 5.8 by the non-doodlers.“If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream.” said study researcher, Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology, U niversity of Plymouth. “Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be enough tostop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”“In psychology, tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process. If that process is important for the main task, then performance will be weakened. But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.” said Andrade.Dan Ware, a social study teacher, used to consider doodling a distraction from learning, but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information. “In my first few years of teaching, I thought, ‘Well, this kid isn’t paying attention. He’s daydreaming.’ But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing, and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.” Ware said.1. What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?A. Some were asked to note down the information neatly.B. Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.C. Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.D. Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.2. Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?A. Doodling helps some people focus.B. Doodling makes a dull task interesting.C. Students who doodle perform poorly.D. Students who doodle lack concentration.3. What is the best title of the text?A. Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study SkillsB. Doodling Can Help Memory RecallC. A Wandering Mind Improves ProductivityD. Distractions Harm Academic PerformanceBShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing ＂the right thing＂. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: ＂You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I kn ow it’s not true.＂It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack ofself-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.4. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________. .A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people5. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic6. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it. B They feel it is not true.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.7. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.A. blocks our chances for a successful lifeB. helps us to live up to our full developmentC. enables us to understand ourselves betterD. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
高二语文阅读限时训练(解析版)第4课 《论语》十二章《大学之道》《人皆有不忍人之心》
第4课《论语》十二章、大学之道、人皆有不忍人之心一、立足文本（一）阅读下面文字，回答问题。
孟子曰：“人皆有不忍人之心。
先王有不忍人之心，斯有不忍人之政矣。
以不忍人之心，行不忍人之政，治天下可运之掌上。
所以谓人皆有不忍人之心者，今人乍见孺子将入于井，皆有怵惕恻隐之心，——非所以内交于孺子之父母也，非所以要誉于乡党朋友也，非恶其声而然也。
由是观之，无恻隐之心，非人也；无羞恶之心，非人也；无辞让之心，非人也；无是非之心，非人也。
恻隐之心，仁之端也；羞恶之心，义之端也；辞让之心，礼之端也；是非之心，智之端也。
人之有是四端也，犹其有四体也。
有是四端而自谓不能者，自贼者也；谓其君不能者，贼其君者也。
凡有四端于我者，知皆扩而充之矣，若火之始然，泉之始达。
苟能充之，足以保四海；苟不充之，不足以事父母。
”1．下列加横线的词的解释，不正确的一项是( )A．皆有怵惕恻隐之心怵惕：恐惧。
B．非所以内交于孺子之父母也内：同“纳”，结交。
C．非所以要誉于乡党朋友也要：通“徼”，求取。
D．若火之始然，泉之始达然：……的样子。
【答案】D【解析】D项，然：同“燃”，燃烧。
2．下列句中加横线“之”的意义和用法，与例句相同的一项是( )例句:人之有是四端也A．若火之始然,泉之始达B．知皆扩而充之矣C．人皆有不忍人之心D．治天下可运之掌上【答案】A【解析】A项与例句都是结构助词,用在主谓之间,取消句子独立性。
B项,代词,代前文的“四端”。
C项,结构助词,的。
D项,代词,代“治天下”。
3．下列对原文有关内容的概括和分析，不正确的一项是（）A．孟子从人性的前提推导政治，从人人都有“不忍人之心”的仁心推导仁政，突出仁政应该是天经地义的。
B．孟子提出的“人皆有不忍人之心”是对孔子关于“人性”思想的进一步发展。
尤其在此基础上提出的“仁义礼智”，更是成了中国古代哲学中“性善论”的理论基础和支柱。
C．孟子指出“不忍人之心”是人生而固有的，承认“仁义礼智”是人的天性里固有的，体现了孟子朴素的唯物主义思想。

阅读理解限时训练与解析A（5minutes）I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating （欺骗）themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（认真地）about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I trie d to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（继续）to believe that I had cheated on the test.1. The story took place（发生）exactly ____ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone3.

They think it is part of becoming an adult. They also think drinking is not that bad because so many people do it. They feel it is not as bad as taking drugs (毒品). It is easy for kids to get liquor （酒精饮料）by using fake identification (伪造证件).Parents may start to notice a change in their child’s behavior if the child starts drinking. Kids who drink sometimes stop doing things they normally liked to do. They may keep telephone calls and meetings a secret and not want anybody to touch their things. They act moody (喜怒无常) and do not have the same eating and sleeping habits.Parents need to stay involved (牵涉) in their kids’ lives. They should talk to their children about their problems to be aware of any changes.Parents can be the best protection. Children who get a lot of love can feel good about themselves. It helps them resist（抵抗）doing bad things even when other kids are doing them. Parents can also help set a good example by not drinking and driving. They can have firm rules in the home that everyone follows.Give the children good ideas on how to say “no” to drinking, even when they are at a party.

Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat（闲谈）with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease（轻松）but the situation is somewhat（一点儿）different from that of anordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1.When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A．as loudly as possible B．in a low voiceC．loudly D．forcefullyually, when you speak to the class, the class is __________.A.noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious3.The situation in the class is ________ that in your house.A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC.．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as4.

Instead, we will buy and read books using computers, which will keep many different books in them at the same time．We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved．Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more．While many people say it is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy．It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers.

you learned in your first Chinese class in primary school was probably pinyin.The year2018marks pinyin's sixtieth birthday.In1958,Chinese linguist(语言学家)Zhou Youguang and his team designed pinyin.Before that,Chinese people used many other methods to denote(标注)the pronunciation of Chinese characters.In ancient China, people denoted Chinese characters using other Chinese characters that had the same pronunciation.Some of the symbols are Chinese character strokes(笔画)．For example,a vertical stroke(一竖)pronounced as“i”in pinyin.Some people in Taiwan still use this method.However,these methods are not as simple as pinyin.Because of pinyin,many illiterate(不识字的)people have learned how to read.We use pinyin to type Chinese characters into computers and phones.Pinyin has been useful in other ways,too.It helps to promote the use of Standard Chinese,or Mandarin, so people who speak different dialects(方言)can still understand each other.Pinyin is not only popular in China.Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by learning pinyin.You might say“nihao”instead of “hello”to a foreign friend.The Oxford English Dictionary(《牛津英语词典》)includes more than100Chinese words in pinyin,such as zhongguomeng for“Chinese dream”，and wanggou for“online shopping”．Pinyin is not only a language tool,but also a cultural bridge that connects China to the world,Guangming Daily noted.Pinyin is still young.But it has been and will still be a useful tool in the future.()6.The underlined word“promote”in the second paragraph may mean“________”in the

from the east of the city,you can use your smartphone.To start with，all you need to do is download a shopping app(应用程序)and find a suitable store you like.Shopping on the smartphone has a lot of advantages，of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.People don't have to waste a lot of energy and time to go from one shop to another to choose things they like.This is especially good for the old，the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops by themselves.However，shopping on the smartphone also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that people can't see the goods or try them on by themselves.Sometimes，the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the smartphone.The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(登记的).They will never deliver(递送)anything to you after they get the money from you.Once you are cheated，you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain(投诉).()6.Smartphone shopping has become more and more popular in our life because______.A.we can take photos and send short messagesB.we can buy almost everything we needC.we can check emails and surf the InternetD.we can make phone calls and call a Didi Taxi()7.If you want to shop on smartphones，you should______at first.A.go to the storeB.find a suitable storeC.send emails to the shopD.download a shopping app()8.What does the underlined word“convenience”mean in Chinese?A.麻烦B.方便C.舒适D.交流()9.The number of disadvantages of shopping on smartphones is ______.A.oneB.twoC.threeD.four()10.What's the best title of this passage?A.Smartphone shopping.B.The usages of smartphone shopping.C.The advantages of smartphone shopping.D.The disadvantages of smartphone shopping.AHow winter weather influences the subway serviceWhen temperatures drop,and ice and snow fall on the tracks,know more service changes by:☆listening to your local traffic broadcasts☆visiting our website ☆signing up for email or text message warnings on our website☆following us on Twitter(NYCTSubwayScoop)☆calling our travel information line at 718-330-1234Our goal is to keep as many trains in service as possible and to keep you informed.Depending on how bad the weather is,here’s what you can expect:Service on these lines may run local on different parts of their routes:A,E,D,F,N,Q,2,3,4,5Service will change on these lines:G —Service between Court Square and 71st Street will stop for some time.7—Reduced service 11p.m.—1a.m.After 1a.m.normal late night service startsagain.S —*42nd Street train runs all night*Dyre Road trains go farther to 149th Street*Rockaway Park train goes farther to Euclid RoadExpect service on these weekday lines to end earlier than normal:B(take D or Q instead),V(take F instead),W(take N instead)Please allow for more travel time and listen for broadcasts.Thank you.2020年广东中考英语阅读理解限时训练（四）()11.People can know about subway service changes in winter through_____ ways.A.threeB.fouC.fiveD.six()12.The subway website will_____.A.send emails to some passengersB.keep all the underground trains in serviceC.follow the passengers around in the stationD.call the travel information line to know about the changes()13.What service changes there will be depends on_____.A.the weatherB.the seasonC.passengersD.the temperature()14.The service of_____lines will change if necessary.A.tenB.fourteenC.sixteenD.eighteen()15.When Line V ends earlier,passengers can take_____.A.Line7B.Line QC.Line5D.Line FBWould you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you,and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves?Although it might sound a little far from you,living in a“smart”city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built.One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a“tele-presence system(远程遥控系统)”allowing users to control the heating and locks,take part in video meetings,and receiveeducation,health care and government services.Around the city,escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them,and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.In fact,technology companies around the world such as IBM,Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.“About75%of the world’s population will live in cities by2050,so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems.Making cities smarter is one way out,and I think this will in turn make cities greener,”said Dan Hill, head of a research company.()16.According to the text,living in a“smart”city_____.A.is not a green wayB.will be far from youC.will soon become trueD.is completely impossible()17.The underlined phrase“in turn”means_____in Chinese.A.反过来B.轮流C.依次地D.翻转()18._____offers the great mind to build Songdo.A.CiscoB.IBMC.SiemensD.Microsoft()19.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to_____.A.drive people out of citiesB.control the world’s populationC.develop his own companyD.solve the cities’coming problems()20.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Future EducationB.Smart Citiesernment ServicesD.Famous Companies【参考答案】训练一1-5 D A D B B 6-10 B C B A D 训练二1～5 D D A B B 6～10 D A B C C 训练三1~5C A B D C6~10B D B B A 训练四1-5 C A A C D 6-10 C A A D B。
高三英语阅读理解限时训练1
现吨市安达阳光实验学校凤艺荣高复高三英语阅读理解限时训练（11）AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates（木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all, ” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.41. We know from the text that .A. the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB. the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC. the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his family was very heavyD. the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago42. From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was veryafterhearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. pitifulD. proud43. The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7） can be replaced by .A. practicalB. wonderfulC. necessaryD. importantBJeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Calme nt lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!45. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?A. She is miserable and unhappy.B. She is cheerful and humorous.C. She would like to live much younger.D. She feels she is goingto die very soon.46. We can owe her good health and long life to _______.A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise47. Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” inthe fourth paragraph?A. dealB. trickC. marchD. sport48. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyerevery year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.CAs computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (着迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14--year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to beacceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.49. We may infer from the first paragraph that .A. computer games have little to do with violence in real lifeB. Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its playsC. lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UKD. legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving50. Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because .A. violent movies are not so attractive to childrenB. the viewers can't take part in violent moviesC. violent movies are not popular with childrenD. children can win awards in violent games51. What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？A. Further research on the harm of violent games.B. Further differences between violent game and nonviolent games.C. Ways to protect children from violent games.D. The result of more experimental studies.52. What would be the best title for the passage？A. Games and MurderB. Should Computer Games become lifelike？C. Legislation, effective or not？D. Violent Games and Nonviolent GamesDSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.Some experts tell us boundaries are hea lthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it? 53. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keepa secret” because ______.A. modern society has finally entered a much opened societyB. people leave privacy around when using modern technologyC. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairsD. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefitB. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secretC. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefitD. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit56. The best title for the passage could be _________?A. Is Privacy As Important As HealthB. What Can Be Done to Protect the PrivacyC. Does Privacy MatterD. Does Modern Technology Reveal PrivacyESome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.57. According to the passage, which of the following is increasinglydangerous to sea creatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of theice-breaking.58. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.D. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.59. We can know from the passage that many researchers think that thenoise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would _____.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.。

高中英语阅读理解定时训练一（满分50，每小题2.5分，限时45分钟）阅读理解第一节ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B.

Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?(6)Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” (4)suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low.

At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they (8)have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things likethe force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. (9)These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.(11)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straight forward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.8. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typing.C. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.9. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.D. Data security measures are guaranteed.10. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A. It’ll be environment-friendly.B. It’ll reach consumers soon.C. It’ll be made of plastics.D. It’ll help speed up typing.11. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebookC. A novel.D.

Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid----(12)we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the w ater’s surface with its feet. (13)The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting” .But fortunately there is an alternative(可替换的选择)：cornflour(玉米淀粉). (14)By adding enough of this common thickening agent(增稠剂) to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian”liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.(15)Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink and take a shower afterward!12.

They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 16The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.17 so they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 18 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (驯养的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 19 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.20 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F. People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.G. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”答案：1.

CEDBF阅读专练一文章要点及题眼ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t.So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job —Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B.

适合年级：高二~高三建议用时：28—32分钟ADoraemon, Japan's robot cat from the future, will celebrate turning minus 100 years old by being given official residence of the city where he will be born, a city official told the reporters on Friday.The electronic blue feline（猫科动物）, whose cartoon exploits have captivated children across Asia, is to be given a residency certificate for Kawasaki, a city near Tokyo, on September 3, 2012，exactly a century ahead of his supposed birth.The city, in which the character's creator lived, is also home to a popular museum of all things of Doraemon and plans to issue copies of the time-travelling robot cat's residency certificate to fans and visitors."Doraemon was created and born in Kawasaki city. In that sense, he has always been a city resident," Mayor Takao Abe told reporters, according to the online edition of the local Kanagawa Shimbun newspaper."I hope (the residency certificate) will bring the museum closer to many people," he said.The certificate will give Doraemon's birthday as September 3, 2112, as well as listing his likes -- pastries（点心）-- and his dislikes -- mice.Doraemon was sent back in time from the 22nd century by a young boy who wanted to change his family's historical misfortune.His magic pocket provides an endless supply of fantastical small tools that help his young friend Nobita Nobi navigate the trials of everyday life.The character first appeared in manga strips（日本连环漫画）in 1969, making the transition to small and big screen over the following decades.Doraemon remains enormously popular in Japan, serving as an instantly recognisable cultural reference across generations.The cartoon series also has a large following in the rest of Asia, including in China and South Korea.【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C【解析】语篇解读:为了庆祝来自未来的日本机器猫哆啦A梦负100岁的生日，机器猫出生城市的一位政府官员上周五告诉记者说，哆啦A梦将注册成为该市的正式居民。

BJeongMee Yoon, Korean photographer, has spent the last five years on the "Pink and Blue Project ": photographing boys and girls with their gender specific-coloured belongings。
The results are spectacular photographs of the children surrounded by their favourite things in their bedrooms, astonishingly all-pink or all-blue。
JeongMee, 41, who lives in the US but is originally from Seoul, South Korea, said the project "is like an anthropological(人类学) study", revealing the differences in the choices of boys and girls as toddlers and how their tastes change as they grow up。
