On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！ And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things，including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mix—part beagle，part basset and part boxer.The four－year－old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness” they were looking for!Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。

2022版高考英语一轮复习第2部分人与社会主题群3历史社会与文化主题语境1不同民族文化习俗与传统
主题群三历史、社会与文化主题语境(一) 不同民族文化习俗与传统节日阅读理解A(2020·新高考全国卷Ⅰ·C)In the mid1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24yearold who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a wellrounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty which created the organization that eventually became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country' s language must be treated equally.The original six countries had only three languages between them：French, German andDutch/Flemish.However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this translating is very expensive and time consuming(费时的)．It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probably that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional standard.In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English.However，any move to reduce the number of official languages(perhaps to four or five)would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries.Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business.However，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.1．What's the main purpose of this passage?A. To give a solution to a problem.B．To find out a problem and show how severe it is.C．To criticize the European Union for ill efficiency.D．To show that the problem cannot be solved.答案：B 推理判断题。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校浙江松2017高考英语一轮阅读理解（九月）训练题（二）【2016高考训练】Egypt may be walking towards a much-needed IMF loan, but that hasn’t put off some foreign partners. GB Auto, the Cairo-listed auto assembler(汽车组装公司), will begin putting together and selling cars from China’s Geely in the second quarter of 2012.GB will assemble the cars from kits(配件) supplied by Geely (the Hangzhou-based carmaker that bought Volvo in a $1.5bn deal in 2010), and will sell the finished product in markets across North Africa, beginning with Egypt. The deal is “one of several partnerships we will announce this year,” said GB’s chairman, Raouf Ghabbour, in a statement.GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai. It is now the the Middle East’s largest car assembler. High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Geely, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step in efforts to push its products out across the world, after announcing last year that it would set up a production hub（轮轴）in Indonesia to target the fast-growing Southeast Asian market. The company plans on selling at least one model in the UK by the end of 2012.While 2011 was a tough year for car sales (and pretty much everything else) in Egypt, the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt, compared to 128 in China and 109 in Morocco.GB says the tuk-tuk’s popularity in Egypt’s rural inland and informal urban slums（贫民窟）made it less influenced by a slowdown in the passenger car industry.And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草机)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.1.What is the general idea of the pasasage?A. China’s Geely is entering Egypt.B. For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step.C. GB covers much of Egyptian car selling.D. GB will assemble the cars from kits.2.Which country’s seller of cars is GB?A. China.B. Korea.C. Japan.D. Egypt3. Why do China’s Geely put their kits of cars together in a foreign country?A.A number of international auto brands.B. Several partners’ help.C. Egypt ‘s need of IMF loan.D. Too much tax.4.The re ason why they mention the figure about China and Morocco’s cars is______.A. To learn from them easily.B. To show China and Morocco’s strength.C. To show GB has a good future.D. To beat China and Morocco in selling.5. The tuk-tuk’s ad vantage is______.A. That its kits came from China.B. That its engine is smaller than others.C. GB assemble them carefully.D. It is sold in Egypt’s rural inland.本文大意是中国吉利汽车正走向埃及市场。

【2014·江西六校高三联考】Most people will answer a ringing ually you don’t know who is phoning or how urgent their business is，so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore.In one experiment，a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports.Then he called the numbers.Someone nearly always answered.When he asked why，people usually said，“Because it rang.”A few years ago in New Jersey，a man with a rifle killed 13 people.Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out.A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called.The man put down his rifle and answered the phone.“What do you want？” he said，“I’m really busy right now.”Imag ine you are at work and the phone is ringing in someone else’s office.Do you answer it or not？In one survey on telephone use,51% of participants told researchers that they did.We can’t ignore the phone and for that reason，it forces its way into our life.It interrupts what we are doing and on top of that，the caller is often someone we don’t really want to talk to.However，in the survey,58% said they never took the phone off the hook，and 67% didn’t mind if someone called during a television programme.For 44% i t wasn’t a problem if someone rang during a meal，while only 28% were annoyed or upset.If someone phoned in the middle of the night,40% told researchers that they got nervous or frightened，while around 30% got angry.Of course，when someone is really annoying，you can choose to hang up on him/her.This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the phone，but 79% said they were prepared to do it in some cases.Only 6% told researchers they never hung up on people.1．In the experiment，people answered the researcher’sphone________.A．in order to help him gather the dataB．for fear that it was urgentC．to test the function of the phoneD．to show their interest in the survey2．The gunman answered the phone because________.A．he decided not to give up his resistance to the policeB．he intended to be friendly with the mediaC．he wanted to tell the reporter that he was too busy to offer any informationD．he tended to answer a ringing phone3．According to Paragraph 3，most people________when they were doing their work or watching television.A．refused to answer the phone in someone else’s officeB．couldn’t ignore the phoneC．minded the ringing of the phoneD．kept the phone ringing4．What is implied by the sentence “79% said they were prepared to do it in some c ases”？A．They also agreed to hang up on others regardless of rudeness.B．They were prepared to punish those rude callers.C．They were annoying rude callers.D．They were going to hang on annoying phones.5．The purpose of the survey is to find out________.A．how the phone interrupts people’s workB．what role the phone plays in people’s livesC．why people mind a ringing phone sometimesD．when the phone communication is more welcome语篇解读本文是一篇调查报道。

Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!It’s “no”.What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.Sweet and simple “no”.Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishmen t. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon a gainst wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”1. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.A. you can have more time to play with othersB. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happyC. you are selfish and treat others rudelyD. you can deal with your business as you have planned2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.A. secret wayB. polite wayC. proud wayD. guilty way3. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.A. they say “no” at a suitable timeB. they say “no” as much as possibleC. they are afraid of saying “no”D. they make others angry at them4. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.A. enjoys a wonderful lifeB. makes a lot of moneyC. faces difficulty in lifeD. forgets to say “yes” in the end1、答案解析：答案为D。

Find Which Direction Is SouthDo you have a good sense of direction?If not,please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass,you can still find your way.It’s never a g ood idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted(委托)with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly confused look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time,you can still find out where south is,but you’ll need to be patient.①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow.②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线) with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string?OK,use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow,which is east at midday,when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.⑧That point is south of where you are.⑨Now you can turn the map,like you did before,and find which way you should be travelling.1. To find the direction,we ought to be patient probably because .A. it is not easy to find a proper stickB. it is not easy to position the stickC. it takes hours to make the marksD. it takes about half an hour to make the marks2. The passage would probably be most helpful to .A. those who draw mapsB. those who get lostC. those who make compassesD. those who do experiments3. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?4. The author presents this passage by .A. telling an interesting storyB. describing an activity in a lively wayC. testing an idea by reasoningD. introducing a practical method【参考答案】1—5、CBAD阅读理解。

Since the Internet has come into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catchviruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journey Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones won’t reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system.Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones, etc. so it is obvious that cell phone virouses are a threat , as well.Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that virouses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise, such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile phones, yet. Thank goodness.72. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The operating system of cell phonesB. The threat of cell phone virusesC. The wide use of cell phonesD. Computer viruses73. When_______, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.A. all the cell phones work on the same operating systemB. Microsoft operating system for cell phones is createdC. users can see each other on the phoneD. Bluetooth is widely used74. What can we infer about Bluetooth according to the scientists?A. it can increase the chances of cell phone virouses greatlyB. it can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone virusesC. it won’t possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone virusesD. it can make users have close physical relation with one another.75. We can learn from the passage that_______.A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phonesB. cell phones are not well connected with the InternetC. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phonesD. more than one operating system is available for cell phone users now72.B 主旨大意题。
