which is almost unheard of in the West,and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East—the ancient custom of “tonic food”.Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness.For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil(麻油)hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth.It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles,reduce pain,improve circulation, stimulate sweating,and warm the body.Some foods,such as mutton and spinach(菠菜),are seen as“hot”, while others,such as Chinese cabbage and radish(樱桃萝卜),are seen as“cold”.One should be careful not to eat too much of either“hot”or“cold”food.However,how much“hot”or“cold”food one should eat depends on the time of the year,how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with,and the individual’s health.The custom of tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry.Chinese herbal medicines,such as wolfberry(枸杞),can be found on many restaurant menus,either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish.These herbs attract customers,such as over-worked office staff,in need of a modest pick-me-up.So,whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup,or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig’s brain soup,you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you are looking for.4.What is the present situation of tonic food?A.It is catching less attention.B.It is enjoyed by many young people.C.It is well-known worldwide.D.It is becoming increasingly popular.5.What is believed to benefit new mothers?A.Chinese cabbage.B.Fruit tea.C.Sesame oil hot pot.D.Pig’s brain soup.6.What does the underlined word“catering”mean in paragraph3?A.Medicine.B.Restaurant.cation.D.Fashion.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Charm of Chinese CuisineB.The Popularity of Tonic FoodC.An Introduction to Chinese Tonic FoodD.Differences between Hot Food and Cold FoodC(2021·黑龙江齐齐哈尔二模)A new study looks at how pets provide important support through petting,cuddles(拥抱),and a frequent physical presence.This is especially key when people feel lonely.The researchers interviewed32people aged59to83.Pets included dogs,cats,birds,etc.More than 90%of the people spoke about touch in the relationship with their pets.“Participants often described touch-based interactions with their pets as being comforting or relaxing in a way that contributed to their overall well-being,”the researchers say.“For our participants,comfort is the sense of being somehow cared for by another being.”Many people in the study spoke about how their pets just seemed to“know”when they weren’t feeling well and they’d move to get physically near them.Different pets were better at providing comfort, some participants insisted.Many said cats were more relaxing than dogs,while others said dogs could be relaxing as long as they were“the right kind of dog”.But almost all pets provided some sort of comfort to their owners when it came to touch.Janette Young,lecturer in health sciences at the University of South Australia,and her team uncovered an interesting thing about the pet-human relationship.People in the study often spoke about how their animals demanded to be petted or seemed to take joy in the interaction.This,in turn,made the humans feel good.The researchers suggest that pets can be“helpful in reducing touch deprivation(匮乏)”and the benefits can come from all kinds of pets.This connection can be particularly important in health care and senior care settings where patients and workers are less likely to be able to see friends and family;yet touch is important and can improve health and happiness.Pets can also offer benefits that in some cases people can’t offer.“Relationships with pets are different to those with humans,”Young says.“Animals don’t judge and are always with us.”8.About what did some participants hold different opinions?A.What pets were better at providing comfort.B.Whether pets could make them feel relaxed.C.How they felt when their pets touched them.D.When pets could notice their owners’discomfort.9.What did Janette Young find about the pet-human relationship?A.It is full of judgments.B.It turns out temporary.C.It benefits both parties.D.It is determined by pets.10.What may researchers suggest hospitals do?A.Encourage pet connection programmes.B.Raise pets to reduce human touch.C.Select the best pet companions.D.Order workers’friends to pay visits.11.What is the main idea of the text?A.Humans need spiritual support.B.Pet-human interactions are common.C.Lonely people like living with pets.D.Pets offer humans touch-based comfort.D(2021·山东日照一模)Looking for a place to take a rest,sip a cup of coffee and have a furry companion?Welcome to animal-themed cafes.In recent years,the combination of pets and catering has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China.While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs,others are expanding their range.Some cafes include animals like squirrels,raccoons(浣熊)and even capybaras(水豚).Many Internet users have commented that their main reason for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.“The customers love animals.They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home but circumstances don’t allow it,”said pet cafe owner Tian Rui.Liu Jing,a Beijing resident who works in finance,loves pigs,but her parents would not endorse her getting one as a pet.The24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images.But now,she can have close contact with an adorable pig every weekend in a pet cafe.Also,these pet cafes serve as a shelter for those who find comfort in being around animals.“In this place,you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene(卫生)—overall,it is an extremely comfortable experience,”said Zhao Ming from Tianjin,a frequent pet cafe visitor.Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people’s attitudes towards pets.Animals like ducks,pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years.People hardly see them as pets.But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends.“Whether at home or in stores,these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts.They care and understand just like family members.They give us much more than the love we give to them,”Zhao said.12.Why do people visit pet cafes?A.To pursue inner peace.B.To appreciate animal images.C.To experience a clean environment.D.To have close contact with animals.13.What does the underlined word“endorse”in paragraph4mean?A.Believe in.B.Approve of.C.Prevent.D.Suspect.14.We can conclude from paragraph6that pet cafes may.A.change our views of animalsB.teach us how to look after pets betterC.show us the importance of having petsD.remind us to value our family and friends15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Cafes Enjoy Great PopularityB.Ideal Shelters for Lovely AnimalsC.Animals Turn into CompanionsD.Animal Lovers from Different CitiesⅡ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)(2021·江苏淮安高三适应性联考)If you’re looking to maximise the amount of fat burning in your next workout,think about having a coffee half an hour before you get started.16Researchers found that3milligrams(毫克)of caffeine per kilogram of body weight can raise the rate of fat burning during aerobic(有氧的)exercise.17The coffee dose was shown to increase maximal fat oxidation rate(脂肪氧化率)by an average of10.7percent in the morning and29percent in the afternoon.The recommendation to exercise on an empty stomach in the morning to increase fat oxidation is common.18It is still unknown whether this increase is due to exercising in the morning or due to going without food for a longer period of time.19Caffeine is often associated with improved athletic performance,though the science behind this link isn’t as comprehensive as it could be.In later cycling tests after the caffeine had been given,thefat-burning capability of the body was measured,showing the impact that caffeine had made on MFO. Maximum oxygen uptake was also raised,as was the intensity(强度)of exercise.The results of the study showed that acute caffeine intake30minutes before performing an aerobic exercise test increased MFO during exercise regardless of the time of day.20Overall,these results suggest that a combination of acute caffeine intake and exercise at moderate intensity in the afternoon provides the best solution for individuals seeking to increase whole-body fat oxidation during aerobic exercise.A.It is based on the results gathered from15male volunteers.B.However,this recommendation may lack a scientific basis.C.Evidence is mounting that morning exercise is good for your health.D.A new study suggests it can make a significant difference to fat burning.E.They are clear enough to suggest that there is some kind of association there.F.Researchers have found that if cyclists take more caffeine,they will ride much faster.G.Researchers were keen to look in detail at the relationship between caffeine and exercise.50分阅读限时满分练(五)【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
2013高考英语二轮阅读理解精选(35)外研版
2013高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（35）及答案AHarry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks. Of course, his secret was not magic or supernatural power. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position h e wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in clubs in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity (宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks. She passed it quickly from her mouth to his.Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame and a name remembered today.56. According to the passage, Houdini’s success in prison escapes depends on ______.A. his special tricks and supernatural powersB. his unusual ability and skeleton keyC. his magic tricks and supernatural powersD. his wisdom and magic tricks57. It can be inferred from the passage that Houdini became famous ______ .A. in 1894B. before he marriedC. at the age of 17D. when he was 2458. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Houdini was a famous American magician.B. Houdini was first recognized in Chicago.C. Houdini first entered the entertainment world together with his wife.D. Houdini was popular with people from Europe and America.59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Skeleton KeyB. A Secret PrisonerC. Worldwide FameD. Great EscapesBTraditional fairy tales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scaryfor their young children, a study has found.A research has discovered one in five parents has given up old classics such asSnow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. Onethird of parents say their children have been left in tears after hearing the horribledetails of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse toread Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping andkilling. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears is also a tale likely to be lefton the book shelf as parents feel it forgives stealing.The su rvey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US dramaGRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six drama series based ontraditional fairy tales. The survey has found a quarter of p arents polled will notconsider reading a fairy tale to their children until they have reached the age offive, as they have to face too many awkward questions from their children.Steve Hornsey, General Manager, Watch, said, “Bedtime stories are supposed tosoothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, some fairy tales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’ s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults, we can see the innocence in fairy tales, but a five-year-old child would take them too seriously. Despite the dark nature of some classic fairy tales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”The study also shows two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares. However, half of parents think traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of mode rn kids’ books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.60. We can learn from Para. 3 that GRIMM is _________.A. a fairy tale bookB. a movie for childrenC. a play loved by childrenD. a drama based on traditional fairy tales61. The underlined word “soothe” in Para. 4 can be replaced by“_________”.A. put downB. calm downC. take downD. come down62. Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?A. A moral always exists in a classic fairy tale.B. All fairy tales are dark.C. Adults take fairy tales too seriously.D. All fairy tales are good for children’s sleep.63. What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairy tales?A. Optimistic.B. Not mentioned.C. Casual.D. Disapproving.CA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say“lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls．Young girl s who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．64．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Puppy love may bring young people depression．B．Parents should forbid their children’s love．C．Romance is a twoedged sword for adults．D．Romance is good for young people．65．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness．B．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior．C．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions．D．Careless parents whose children are deep in love．66．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly．B．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents．C．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression．D．The older a woman is，the less lik ely she seems to lose herself in romance．67．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A．Confused B．DisapprovingC．Disinterested D．ScaredDTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the difference remarked, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedule s and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The unfamiliarity of the journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasion can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To fight this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the pass age of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we lea ve school, but this doesn’t have to be.68. The quotation in the first paragraph is used to indicate ______.A. psychological time is quite puzzlingB. time should not be measured by a pendulumC. physical time is different from psychological timeD. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time69. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A. Our sense of time changes.B. We spend less time at the beach.C. More time is structured and scheduled.D. Time is structured with too many appointments.70. What is the main idea of the passage？A. It gives various explanations about time.B. It describes how we experience time psychologically.C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.D. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.参考答案A篇：56-59 BDCD B篇 60 -63 DBABC篇 64-67 ACDB D篇 68-70 CCD。
备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解(体育)
备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解（体育）一、阅读理解(共39题；共78分)阅读理解Cheerleading is the fastest growing women's sport, yet many Americans think it can't satisfy the standards and qualifications of a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. Sideline cheerleaders' main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. However, it is true of competitive cheerleading.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Cheerleaders must learn to fall and perform many complex actions, like lifts and tosses. This is where the "fliers" are thrown in the air, held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. Cheerleading is a team sport, so without cooperation, first place is out of reach.Cheerleading is the major cause of serious sports injuries to women due to the fact that cheerleaders always perform without any equipment to protect them. While many athletes in other sports are well protected, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and fall down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliers must remain tight all the time so that their bases can catch them safely. Because cheerleading is not recognized as a sport by many schools, proper equipment isn't provided to ensure safety. Therefore, more recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.Competitive cheerleading is a physical activity governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants. Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.1．（2分）What do many Americans think of cheerleading?A．It is aimed at cheering the audience.B．It focuses on strength and teamwork.C．It does no good to women's health.D．It fails to meet the criteria of a sport.2．（2分）What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2?A．Competitive cheerleading is a team sport.B．Cheerleaders must train hard to win first place.C．There are no limits to competitive cheerleading.D．Strength is essential to competitive cheerleading.3．（2分）Why is it easy for cheerleaders to get seriously injured?A．They are not skillful in performance.B．They don't wear protective equipment.C．They are exposed to some dangers.D．They always perform various techniques.4．（2分）Which of the following is the author's opinion of cheerleading?A．It consumes a lot of energy and strength.B．It will become more famous than football.C．It is likely to become well known in future.D．It should be equipped with various purposes.阅读理解Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, and the leaders of a group of girls' schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls deal with failure."All girls, not just the sporty ones, should take physical exercise," Ms. Fraser says. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms. Fraser will tell the group that she supports "sport for all". "That's why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond," she says.The GDST draws on research from the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion of boys, the research suggests.Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who once was a skater and tennis player, and the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who was in the French national swimming team. Ms. Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger are excellent role models for young women but says women's sport needs more money and more news reports.Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School for Girls, part of GDST, said it was important to offer alarge number of sports to attract different types of girls. "Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey." said Ms. Dunsford.5．（2分）Which of the following ideas would Ms. Fraser agree with?A．Boys are born to be sport lovers.B．Girls are less confident than boys.C．More should be done to make girls do sports.D．Those taking part in the sport are always successes.6．（2分）What's the proportion of boys who never take exercise?A．1/10.B．1/5.C．1/4D．2/5.7．（2分）Ms. Fraser mentions those famous women to show__________.A．hard work will pay offB．it's not easy to be greatC．sport can help girls to succeedD．it's necessary to balance work and sport8．（2分）What's the purpose of the text?A．To explain the key to success.B．To show the importance of sport.C．To introduce more sports to girls.D．To encourage more girls to do sports.阅读理解I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports. Different from my father, I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"As an adult, my teenage tendencies of exaggeration (夸张)may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for many girls, boys, men and women everywhere. Others arefeeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support, love and laughter in these times. So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times, making valuable monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation, people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active. Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.9．（2分）What may the author's father agree about sports?A．It is a personal hobby.B．It boosts confidence.C．It affects social relations.D．It helps avoid wars.10．（2分）How does life without sports affect people?A．They lack family connection.B．They have lost their hobbies.C．They feel bored more than lonely.D．They suffer both in body and mind.11．（2分）How do isolated people respond to the tough situations?A．Struggle to be athletes.B．Try to stay physically active.C．Make donations to good causes.D．Design new sports programmes.12．（2分）What is the best title?A．Sports reduces risks in our livesB．Sports continues to offer strengthC．Sports makes the impossible possibleD．Sports has new functions in the pandemic阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sport might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep itscourses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in so me local areas.There are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.13．（2分）What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It causes water shortages around the world.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.14．（2分）The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _______.A．it is an outdoor sport B．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resources D．it is recommended by experts15．（2分）Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a club.D．Swimming in a sports center.16．（2分）The author writes the passage to _______.A．show us the function of major sportsB．encourage us to go in for green sportsC．discuss the major influence of popular sportsD．introduce different types of environment friendly sports阅读理解It's summertime. That means long hot days, no school— and summer camps. Lots of kids spend at leastsome of the summer at camps. Some kids spend the whole year playing one sport. And what do they do during the summer? They go to a camp and keep playing that sport. So what's wrong with that?A study published in the journal Sports Health found that "for most sports, there is no evidence that intense (集中的) training and playing one sport before 13 or 14 are necessary to achieve elite (精英的)status." How big is the risk of injury if you specialize in one sport? A Loyola University Chicago study of 1, 200 youth athletes found that kids who specialized in one sport were 70 percent to 93 percent more likely to be injured than multi-sport athletes. That's a lot. Kids who specialize in one sport also get burned out. An Ohio State University study found that kids who played a single sport were more likely to quit their sport and be physically inactive as adults.But don't you have to specialize in one sport when you're a kid to have a chance to play in college or be a professional? No! Sorry, but I have to talk about another study. This one was a survey of college athletes by the American Society of Sports Medicine. The study found that 88 percent of college athletes played more than one sport when they were kids.Look at this year's National Football League(NFL) draft, 26 of the 31 first- round picks, including Jared Goff, the player drafted ahead of all the others, had been multi-sport athletes in high school, according to Tracking Football. It wasn't just the first round: 224 of the 256 draft picks had played more than one sport in high school. More than a third of the drafted players were three-sport athletes.So if you are a year-round baseball kid, try soccer this summer. It will get you into great shape and help you move your feet in the field. Or if you're a soccer kid, try tennis or rock climbing. Have some fun, and try something new. It's summertime.17．（2分）What's the purpose of the author writing the text?A．To invite more kids to play sports.B．To inspire kids to play sports for fun.C．To encourage kids to try more types of sports.D．To give kids advice on becoming professional athletes.18．（2分）What has the study in Sports Health found?A．Playing one sport is suitable for adults.B．Too much training doesn't lift sport spirits.C．70%-93% kids get injuries from playing sports.D．Kids' sport specialization doesn't promise future success.19．（2分）What can we learn about NFL drafted players?A．Most of them were multi-sport players.B．They are college students.C．They are professional athletes.D．Most of them were summer-camping lovers.20．（2分）Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (P—paragraph )A．B．C．D．阅读理解The health benefits of staying active are already well-known. It can help you manage weight, keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now, a new study suggests that regularly playing sports, especially badminton or tennis, is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death, at any age, by approximately 50%. This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate. The study evaluated responses from 80, 306 adults aged 30 and above in England and Scotland, who were surveyed about their health, lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age, sex, weight, smoking habits, alcohol use, education and other forms of exercise besides the named sports, the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didn't. The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be: 47% for racket（球拍）sports, 28% for swimming and 15% for cycling.In addition to this, the study didn't find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football. The findings also exposed that over 44% of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy, which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead? Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical, social and mental benefits attached to it. The apparent lack ofbenefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer. So, the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.21．（2分）How is the study conducted?A．By doing comparative experiments.B．By analyzing previous data.C．By evaluating survey information.D．By tracking participants for a long time.22．（2分）What does the underlined part "the named sports" refer to?A．Ball sports.B．Racket sports.C．Individual sports.D．Traditional sports.23．（2分）What can we infer from paragraph 5?A．Few people will play football.B．Tennis will become more popular.C．The result of this study is wrong.D．The study needs to be further improved.24．（2分）What does the author advise people to do?A．Stick to any sport that you like.B．Play badminton and tennis only.C．Stop running and playing football.D．Do any sport according to guidelines.阅读理解Goa is the official holiday destination of India.

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。

二轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解精选及答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged."The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population." Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, "seven-foot beds would work fine."Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.（1）What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.（2）Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy? A. 7′2″. B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″（3）What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.（4）What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. Guest rooms are standardized.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述一个英国的高个子组织TPCGP在六个月以前向宾馆和酒店发起的针对高个子的一些特殊需求的活动。

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.

"Can you imagine?" Diébédo Francis Kéré said to NPR, "I was born in Burkina Faso, a little village where there was no school. And my father wanted me to learn how to read and write very simply because then I could translate or read him his letters."The first Black winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was as surprised as anyone else to be selected for the field's most famous prize. Many architects had openly supposed that 2022 would be Sir David Adjaye's year, who is best known for designing notable buildings as the Nobel Peace Center in Norway.Kéré, who is based in Berlin but centers much of his practice in Africa, has been—until now—far lesser known, with buildings that include primary schools and a healthcare clinic.When he was twenty, in 1985, Kéré earned a scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin. But he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universität Berlin, from which he graduated in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture. He was still a student when he designed and built the innovative Gando Primary School.Kéré's architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with around 100 other children in a region with temperatures over 100 F. "It's very hot inside. And there was no light, while outside, the sunlight was abundant. I think, one day I should make it better. I was thinking about space, about room, about how I could feel better." In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, Kéré drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete, and emphasized shade and shadows, making spaces bright enough and letting air in, and thus reducing the need for air conditioning. He wanted the buildings to evoke the sense of an oasis (绿洲), a place for many children, to be happy and learn how to read and write.1．（2分）Why did the Pritzker Architecture Prize of 2022 come out as a surprise?A．Because it is the most famous prize.B．Because the winner only designs schools.C．Because another competitor was more famous.D．Because Kéré wasn't first selected as a candidate.2．（2分）What inspired Kéré's architecture work?A．His academic training in Berlin.B．Hardship in his early childhood.C．An architectural contest.D．His experience traveling abroad.3．（2分）Which of the following best describes Kéré as an architect?A．Creative and universal.B．Caring and practical.C．Determined and ambitious.D．Devoted and productive.4．（2分）What can be inferred about the schools designed by Kéré?A．They only use traditional materials.B．They need no air-conditioning.C．They are well-lit and cool.D．They are built on oases.阅读理解Nobody knows the value of a good doll better than Jandrisevits. "Dolls have a power we don't completely understand," she said. It's a conclusion she came to while working as a social worker using dolls to help her young clients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those dolls. But for the kids missing a limb or who had lost their hair, there were none they could relate to.So, seven years ago, when a friend revealed that her child was stuck in self-doubt and self-distrust, Jandrisevits, now 49, knew what might help the youth through this potentially challenging period. "It's hard to tell a kid, 'You are perfect the way you are, ' and to build self-esteem (自尊) that way, but never offer them anything that looks like them, "she says.Jandrisevits went about changing that. She crafted a doll by hand — using fabric, stitching, and markers — that resembled (像) her friend's child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo online of the happy child and doll, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who was missing a leg.Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits was making dolls for children with scars, birthmarks, facial deformities(畸形), — in short, a doll that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me.Working out of her home in Milwaukee, from photos sent by parents or caregivers, it takes Jandrisevits roughly three days to craft only one doll. A GoFundMe page helps her cover costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn't charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.In all, she's made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandriscvits will never give up. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, "Every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or bodytype, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own."5．（2分）What made Jandrisevits realize the value of dolls?A．The influence of dolls on her.B．Her working experience.C．The changing medical situations.D．Her relation to the unlucky kids.6．（2分）What does the underlined word ―that‖ refer to in paragraph 3?A．Children's concern about their looks.B．The problems faced by the child of a friend.C．The challenging period the youth are going through.D．The fact that words alone fail to help build self-esteem.7．（2分）What can be inferred about Jandrisevits' making dolls?A．It targets children with mental problems.B．It is time-consuming but meaningful.C．It is thought poorly of by people.D．It brings in a good fortune.8．（2分）Which of the following best describes Jandrisevits?A．Creative and caring.B．Ambitious and devoted.C．Considerate and sensitive.D．Knowledgeable and generous.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

2020;2020高考英语二轮（阅读理解）35分钟限时训练（6）及答案.阅读理解Words：318 难度系数：★★建议用时：7分钟Decisionmaking can be extremely difficult.Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures.In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view.Naturally，often comes a confrontation(冲突) situation，which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view.Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.Besides，Western decisionmaking goes mostly from top manag ement(管理人员) and often does not consult middle management or the worker.However，in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.Based on “bottomup direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decisionmaking also comes from different communication styles.The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly.They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach.So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings.Thus Americans are often annoyedby the many meetings in many Japanese businesses.But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision.The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners，perhaps，lag(落后) behind as they take the time for indepth(深入的) planning. 1．A Japanese business bases its decision ________.A．on topdown directionB．on nothi ng but its workers’ viewsC．on bottomup directionD．only on its top leaders’ opinions解析：选C。

For fiv e days，Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents，and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980，the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival.“People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation.”Riedel said.“It's really easy to relax，and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together.”These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes.People who take pleasure in Blues are there，so are people who love Bluegrass.This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests. With so many years of experience，the festival has become a well-oiled machine，and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible.There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups.When people buy food，reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee，but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time.But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen.There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金)concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.本文主要讲述为了让人们了解民间音乐的真正意义而举办的一个节日——the Edmonton Folk Music Festival。

On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio.
