阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
A survey of professors finds that most see online coursesas inferior to in-class lessons—but those who have taughtonline are more open to their potential. LarryGreenemeier reports The New York Times calls 2013“theyear of the MOOC(网络开放课程). ”But lots of openonline courses still fail to get high marks from mosteducators.In a recent survey of more than 2, 200 professors, only one in five thought that online courses could be as effective as classroom curricula(课程). Their biggest concern: limited interaction between teachers and students. The survey was done by Gallup and the website Inside Higher Ed. Respondents linked MOOC credibility to whether an online course was offered by an qualified school and to a student’s abil ity to receive credits.The doubt from the faculty of the schools isn’t surprising. New technologies often turn those well-prepared products and services into goods without little excitement, something no teacher wants. On the other hand, refusing to change, especially when it involves computers, tends to be a losing strategy in most fields.One of the important points in the data is that much MOOC criticism comes from faculty who’ve never taught an online course. Of the 30 percent of professors polled(被投票的)who had taught a MOOC, most thought that online courses can deliver roughly the same results as the classroom ones. 【文章大意】2013年被称为“网络开放课程之年”。
很多人都在质疑网络开放课程的有效性和它的可信度。
有人认为这种课程把一些精心准备的产品和服务变成了平淡无奇的商品, 这些都不是老师们想要的。

2016四川省南充市高考英语二轮：说理议论阅读理解基础练习（4）及答案说理议论（阅读理解）由(2009江西,D)改编Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions.Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name,address and telephone number,although the information is not necessary for publication.This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say.When a writer wants his voice heard,he needs to claim ownership of his voice.Responsibility is the name of the game.“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip,“and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we si gn a paper,for example,a business contract or a bank document,the signature is a seal of consent,an agreement to take the matter seriously.Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signatur e.The absence of a signature,they explain,tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的)for various reasons.Multi-billionaire Mr.King donates generously to charity several times a year.He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring,and he does not want his good deeds to make news.In other cases,people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity.Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police,but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved.We all have a name.It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement,a claim or an accusation.We all want to honour our own name,and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.1.What does the writer mean by sayin g“Responsibility is the name of the game”?()A.Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.B.Publications must bear the writer’s full name,address and phone number.C.Writers should be responsible for their names.s are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.2.The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may.A.help to end a relationshipB.not get a replyC.be accepted all the sameD.become a family problem3.Some people don’t want th eir names known because they are .A.hesitant to make a donationB.unwilling to draw public attentionC.afraid of an accusationD.ready for involvement4.The passage is mainly about .A.honour and writersB.identity and signatureC.signature and responsibilityD.anonymity and signature语篇解读:本文论述了“署名”的问题,署名是负责任的象征,但有些情况下,人们不愿“署名”。

说理议论阅读理解基础练习（1）说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2011天津,D)改编Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive;to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using train ing wheels on a child’s bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on.”1.Imitation proves useful when you . A.know you are uniqueB.lose the balance of lifeC.begin to learn something newD.get tired of routine practice2.To avoid the bad result of imitation,we should .A.forget daily fear and painB.choose the right exampleC.ask others for decisionsD.stay away from stars3.According to the author,the world moves on because of those who are .A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge.B.ready to turn their original ideas into realityC.eager to discover what their ancestors didD.willing to accept others’ ideas4.The trouble a creator faces is .A.the lack of strong motivationB.the absence of practical ideasC.how to search for more materialsD.how to use imagination creatively5.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?()A.To highlight the importance of creativity.B.To criticize the characters of role models.C.To compare imitation with creation.D.To explain the meaning of success语篇解读:本文为议论文。

说理议论+社会文化+应用广告+逸闻趣事A(2017·四川乐山调研)When people around you agree with you，it improves your confidence and allows you to relax and feel comfortable.Unfortunately，that comfort usually keeps you away from achieving more success in your career，especially when you are in a leader position.So it feels nice to have people agree，but you need some regular conflicts，that is to say，to have people raise different views so that you can dig out the deeper truth and avoid suffering from being too much on just one side.So do you often share your opinions on most subjects with people around you and encourage them to debate？If yes，set it as a tradition in your company or department.At first，it seems a challenge to create an environment where people are in free atmosphere to disagree and argue，but remember：from sharp conflicts come sound judgments，and from sound judgments come right decisions.That’s because most of the time you have to collect different opinions from different angles to help yourself identify your blind spots before you form the real brilliant ideas.However，effective debates do not require angry quarrels and embarrassments.So you need to set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities，boundaries and rewards.Rule No.1：The goal of debating is not to win over others but to get to the truth that will allow you and your staff to move faster and better.Rule No.2：Fierce debating with strong emotion hurts feelings and does harm to teamwork.So repeatedly remind your staff，best with smiles and humors，that this is friendly opinion sharing time for a common goal instead of a battle between two enemies trying with full efforts to beat the other one down to earth.Rule No.3：All those involved in the debates shall get rewards when the goals are reached，thus they know how much you appreciate their contributions.The more they feel appreciated，the more they’ll be willing to contribute their talents with full heart in the future.1．What happens when your staff all agree with you?A．It may improve your work effectively.B．It creates harmonious working atmosphere.C．You are likely to make more right decisions.D．You may have problems in career advancing.答案 D解析细节理解题。

说理议论阅读理解基础练习（6）说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2011重庆,E)改编Skeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment,and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people,say skeptics,spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book,The Skeptical Environmentalist,declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine.Of course,another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests.Indeed,Mr.Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some industry-funded organizations,which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr.Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions.One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise,even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg,the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged.But only a different review appeared in Nature,a respected science magazine with specific readership.The review remarked that Mr.Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”.A critical (批判的) eye is valuable,and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions.Unfortunately,that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media.That’s a shame,because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.1.According to the passage,which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?()A.People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B.People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C.People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D.People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.2.Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s book?()A.Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.B.The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.C.The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.D.Industry-funded media present confusing information.3.The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to .A.voice a different opinionB.find fault with Lomborg’s bookC.challenge the authority of the mediaD.point out the value of scientific views4.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?()A.To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B.To warn the public of the danger of half-blindness with reviews.C.To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information.D.To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校阅读理解提分特训(一)A【说理议论类】Do you feel lucky? You probably don’t.You may think you’ve got where you are today through willpower and hard work.We tend to overlook luck’s role,and this seems to get worse the richer we get;surveys show that the wealthiest are least likely to owe their fortunes to good fortune.Many such people oppose taxation(税收) and government spending:why should others get a handout(救济品) if they don’t need one? More often than not,they vote against the very policies that helped them get lucky to begin with.In a recent Atlantic essay,Robert Frank,an economist who has studied attitudes to chance,quoted(引用)E.B.White:“Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.”However,if we see this just as a problem of the super-rich people,we may let the rest of us off too easily.Anyone living in a highly developed economy in the world is already the one who benefits from luck—for example,not living in the modern-day Central African Republic,where few people can live a long life.In fact,we are lucky to have been born human.You might have been a battery hen,or a mayfly with only one day to live.Our blindness to such truths isn’t only because we’re self-absorbed but also we attach more significance to things that are eas ier to call to mind.It’s not hard to recall countless times when you put in the effort to succeed:struggling through university finals,preparing for job interviews,tolerating a long-distance travel to work.On the other hand,it’s rather difficult to realize you’re privileged—like not being born in a war zone,or before antibiotics(抗生素),and so forth.1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A.Self-made men don’t like to be talked about.B.Successful people owe their achievements to luck.C.Successful people tend to overlook the role of luck.D.Self-made men are more likely to show off their fortune.2.According to the author,you are fortunate if you are not .A.struggling through university finalsB.preparing for interviewsC.tolerating a long-distance travelD.living in a war zone3.We can learn from the passage that .A.few people in Africa are luckyB.each of us is actually privilegedC.people value the importance of luckD.people succeed because of luck4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Luck Is A BlessingB.We Are LuckyC.How To Be LuckyD.Who Is Lucky语篇解读:很多成功人士会把自己的成功归功于毅力和付出,而往往忽视运气的成份,而事实上,我们每个人还是很幸运的。

2016四川省南充市高考英语二轮：说理议论阅读理解基础练习（2）及答案说理议论（阅读理解）由(2011陕西,D)改编Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,genetically modified (GM,转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis.But can GM technology solve world hunger problems?Even if it would,is it the best solution?Despite what it promises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential (潜力) of any crop.In fact,studies show that the most widely grown GM crop,GM soybeans,has suffered reduced productivity.For instance,a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else,however,has been on the rise.While GM seeds are expensive,GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂).On the contrary,US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops.“The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production.But neither is true,” said Bill Christison,President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.At the same time,the authors of the book World Hunger:Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production,but by problems in food distribution and politics.These indeed deserve our efforts and money.Meanwhile,the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food,according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact,scientists see better ways to feed the world.Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available,among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.1.The author develops the second paragraph mainly .A.by classificationB.by comparisonC.by exampleD.by process2.What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean?()A.Control.B.Evaluate.C.Obtain.D.Increase.3.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from .A.practising “green” fa rminge of less chemicalsC.fair distribution of their cropsing more crops for fuel4.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?()A.Optimistic.B.Defensive.C.Disapproving.D.Casual.语篇解读:本文为议论文。

第三节题组训练 5 说理议论A(2017·和平区一模)William W．Purkey，a well-known professor of education，said，“Dance like no one is watching，love like you’ll never be hurt，sing like no one is listening，and live like it’s heaven on earth.” It seems like the perfect life philos ophy—and one I’ve learned to apply to running over the year.But I didn’t always feel this way.In my early days，when I weighed 240 pounds，I ran like everyone was watching—and judging.If I was on a run and saw a car approaching，I’d stop and pretend I was looking for something I’d lost.I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner.And I didn’t have a clue if the expensive shoes I was wearing were the right kind for me—I just wanted to look like I fit in with this group.To be honest，I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching.I really thought that other people cared about my performance.The best example of this was a combined，two-lap marathon in Florence，Italy.As I approached the finishing line，the crowd began to cheer.I was surprised.Here I was，thousands of miles from home，and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino”．About 20 yards from the finishing，the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon.No one was cheering for me.No one probably even noticed that I was finishing.I couldn’t help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.That’s when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one.I ran to make other people happy，ran to live up to their expectations.But no one was watching，no one cared.So I decided I was going to run for me—just me—and gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadn’t truly experienced yet.I’ve learned to run like no one is watching.So if you see me at race，and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling(蹒跚) along，don’t worry.I’m fine.The miracle isn’t that I finished.The miracle is that I had the courage to start.1．The writer presents the passage by .A．telling his running storyB．explaining a life philosophyC．listing some life rulesD．introducing quotations答案 D解析写作手法题。
2021届高考英语阅读理解说明性议论性专练(附答案解析)
（创新+拓展设计）最新原创之高中英语阅读理解说明性议论性专练（适用2021届高考）Passage 1Do you want to travel this fall? Take a look at Thailand’s famous light festivals. These festivals (called Yi Peng and Loi Krathong) are held in November. Yi Peng is a lantern festival, and Loi Krathong is a water festival. Their dates are based on the lunar calendar, so they change every year. This year they will be held on November2nd, 3rd, and 4th. There will be street food, fireworks, traditional dance shows, and parades.“Loi” means float, and a “krathong” is a tiny boat. It is made of banana trees and decorated with banana leaves, flowers, and candles. On the night of the full moon, families put their krathongs in the river, which will take away their worries. You can buy a krathong near the river. Then, light the candle by the river, hold it with your family or friends, make a wish, and let it go.For Yi Peng, houses and stores are decorated with colorful lanterns and flags. At night, white paper lanternsare sent into the sky to get rid of bad luck. It is said that if you make a wish when you release your lantern it will come true, but only if you do good things. There are two big releases when the lanterns are set off all together. Oneis free at Mae Jo University, but you need to arrive early. The other is for tourists and it’s not on the full moon (check in October for the final date). A ticket costs about＄100 USD, and you must buy a ticket earlier.You can also release a tiny boat and a lantern at any time near the river. When you’re ready, don’t forget to make a wish! Are you ready to travel this fall in Thailand?1.What can we know about Thailand’s light festivals?A.They cost about＄100 USD.B.They are always held in December.C.They take away people’s bad luck or worries.D.They are decorated with colorful lanterns and flowers.2.What do people usually do during Loi Krathong?A.Buy tiny ships and pray.B.Release lanterns and enjoy.C.Dance and decorate houses.D.Eat food and enjoy the moon.3.Where is Yi Peng celebrated?A.On a farm.B. In a school.C. In the fields.D. Over the river.4.What is the text mainly about?A. The origin of Thailand’s light festivals.B. The benefits of Thailand’s light festivals.C. The popularity of Thailand’s light festivals.D. The introduction of Thailand’s light festivals.Passage 2Helping others is not only good for them and a good thing to do. It also makes us happier and healthier too. Giving also connects us to others, creating stronger communities and helping to build a happier society for everyone. So if you want to feel good, do good!Doing things for others—whether small, unplanned acts or regular volunteering—is a powerful way to increase our own happiness as well of those around us. The people we help may be strangers, family, friends, colleagues or neighbors. They can be old or young, nearby or far away.Giving isn’t just about money, so you don’t need to be rich. Giving to others can be as simple as a single kind word, smile or a thoughtful gesture. It can include giving time, energy, care, skills, thought or attention. Sometimes these mean as much, if not more, than financial gifts.Scientific studies show that helping others boosts happiness. It increases life satisfaction, provides a sense of meaning, increases feelings of ability, improves our mood and reduces stress. It can help to take our minds off our own troubles too.Kindness towards others is the glue which connects individual happiness with wider community and social well-being. Giving to others helps us connect with people and meets one of our basic human needs—relatedness.Kindness seems to be contagious. When we see someone do something kind or thoughtful, or we are on the receiving end of kindness, it inspires us to be kinder ourselves. In this way, kindness spreads from one person to the next, influencing the behaviour of people who never saw the original act. Kindness really is the key to creating a happier, more trusting local community.1.Why can giving help to build a happier society?A.It can connect us to others.B.It can make us rich.C.It can bring confidence.D.It makes us healthy.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. We feel no stress by helping others.B. We feel more content with life by helping others.C. Helping others removes a sense of meaning.D. Helping others makes our trouble disappear forever.3. What is more important to build a better local community?A. Happiness.B. Health.C. Kindness.D. Wealth.4. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Helping others is good for ourselves.B. Helping others matters.C. We should learn to give.D. Kindness is a good virtue.Passage 3Beijing was once a city of bikes, known as the Bicycle Kingdom for the millions of two-wheelers that dominated (支配) urban transport. Decades of remarkable economic growth, beginning in the 1990s, led to a huge flood of cars in cities like Beijing. And as the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, creating heavy pollution and miserable traffic. Now, Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modern twist. Thanks to about two dozen technology start-ups, brightly-colored shared bikes have flooded Beijing since last year, dotting a normally dull cityscape with flashes of bumblebee yellow, kingfisher blue and tangerine.Costing as little as 7 cents per half-hour and designed to take people the last leg from public transport to their places of work or entertainment, the bikes have the potential to transform urban living and even shape people’s decisions about where to live and work. Those are vital issues in this area of about 20 million people, many of whom spend hours a day commuting (通勤)．Riding the bikes requires only a few taps on a smartphone. Customers download one of thestart-ups apps,electronically transfer a deposit and then pay per ride by using a bike’s individual code. Bikes that rely on mobile technology feel right at home in a place like Beijing, where even elderly people are often early adapters of technology. Some companies offer booking services and even GPS to enable riders to find the nearest pair of wheels. If a rider finds one, he or she can pick up the bike and then ride and drop it off anywhere he or she likes, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a stand or retie it, in contrast to city bike programs in Paris or New York.1.What’s the author’s purpose in writi ng Paragraph 1?A. To talk about Beijing’s rapid development.B. To introduce several technology start-ups.C. To express his opinions about shared bikes.D. To tell us Beijing’s returning to cycling past.2. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 refer to ________.A. colors of bikesB. names of citiesC. brands of carsD. sights of Beijing3. How much will you pay if you ride a shared bike for one hour and a half?A. 7 cents.B. 14 cents.C. 21 cents.D. 28 cents.4. What is a must if you want to use a shared bike?A. Enough cash.B. A smartphone.C. High technology.D. GPS receiver.Passage 4First-time shoppers at Seattle-based Amazon Go may feel as though they were stealing. That’s because the 1,800 square-foot grocery store, which opened its doors to the public on January 22, has no cashiers or even checkout counters. Instead, as the name indicates, customers merely grab what they need and go! But before you start celebrating, the goods are not free—the cost of the purchase(s) is/are calculated ele ctronically using “Just Walk Out” technology.The process is simple. Upon entering the store, shoppers “sign-in” by scanning their smart phones. Every item selected gets added to the bill automatically. If the customer changes his mind, all he has to do is return the purchase to the shelf, and it will be removed from the final bill. Though consumers will not find everything they need, they will be able to buy basics like bread, milk, and drinks. There are also numerous ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices made by chefs in the on-site kitchen. Those that prefer to cook at home can select from the wide variety of Amazon Meal Packages.Once the customer exits the store, the system processes the purchases and charges the cost to their Amazon account. Within seconds, the customer is notified of the deal with a digital receipt that lists each item bought, as well as the time spent in the store. The accurate tracking is possible thanks to multiplesmart cameras that monitor everything the shopper is doi ng. Kumar explains, “Cameras figure out which interactions (互动) you have with the shelves. Computer vision figures out which items are taken. Machine-learning also determines which item it is.” The company insists that the system is so accurate that shoplifting (冒充顾客在商店偷盗) is impossible. And they should know, considering that Amazon employees have been shopping there since 2021!The store has raised some concern about the jobs of the over 3.5 million cashiers in America.

Now in its sixth year, the charitable (慈善的) day uses the power of social media to encourage organizations and individuals to donate funds or resources to worthy causes. Its mission is to bring positive change to communitiesthrough giving.Though devoting just one day to a worthy cause may not seem much, Giving Tuesday makes a surprisingly significant impact. In 2021, ORGANIZE, an online organ ( 器官) donor program asked people to “give with your heart” by becoming registered donors. Thousan ds of Americans listen to the cry for help, resulting in one of the largest digital donor drives in US history.That same year, the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore competed to see who could encourage more donations. While the Pratt Library won with a $41,000 acquisition, the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well. In 2021, the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges. They raised an amazing $5.5 million! The university hopes to recreate the magic this year, with a virtual celebration to mark the institution’s 200th anniversary.Giving Tuesday is not just a US phenomenon, but a global movement. In 2021, 98 countries participated in the event, raising $177 million, a 44% increase over 2021, when 71 nations collected $116.7 million. These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition.Though donating funds is a great way to help, there are numerous other ways to support your local community. You can give back by volunteering at a nearby nonprofit or food bank. Social media experts can do their share by spreading the information and inspiring their colleagues to get involved. Another great way to celebrate Giving Tuesday is by helping thos e closest to you, whether that’s assisting a family member with chores or helping a neighbor with yard work.1.Why is Giving Tuesday started?A.

The author tries to tell the readers in Paragraph 5.A. why we need to volunteer in our local communityB. the person we will celebrate Giving Tuesday together withC. the place we should donate funds to benefit other peopleD. the ways we can give to help those who are in great needPassage 6Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of Millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence—their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants th rough to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real.“Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writin g of the script and there’s no turning back—this is real life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2021 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason. Jr—played by US actor Ellar Coltrane—from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius... He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary—the power of life itself.1.In the documentary, we see post-00s’ growing experience EXCEPT .A.how they deal with their studiesB.how they help look after brothers or sistersC.how they get along with people of their ageD.how much they long to be independent of their parents2.What do Post-00s and Boyhood have in common?A.They’re intended to win an award for best director.B.The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.C.They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth.D.The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.3.Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” stories because ________.A.they can see the truth of lifeB.they know the characters wellC.they are much fond of gossipD.they appreciate stories of daily life4.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Post-00s Are Different GeniusesB.Actors Are Ordinary CharactersC.Documentary Is Real LifeD.Life Is One Big StoryPassage 7Smokers may ignore the health warnings by telling themselves their habit makes them look cool. After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twinswhere one smoked and the other did not. Men found female non-smokers the most attractive in two-thirds of cases, while women chose non-smoking men as the most attractive 68 percent of the time.Professor Ian Penton Voak, a co-author of the study from Bristol University, said, “People assume that smoking causes damage to the skin and appearance, but this is a really neat way of looking at it because these twins are genetically identical, so we can control the genetic factors involved in ageing. Appearance seems to be important to people, especially young people, so we could use these sorts of findings as a basis for future interventions to stop people smoking.”Smoking can speed up the normal ageing, even after only a decade. Nicotine causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, while the chemicals in tobacco smoke damage collagen and elastin (胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白), which give the skin its elasticity (弹性)．1.Why does the author mention James Dean and Humphrey Bogart?A.To persuade smokers to give up smoking.B.To compare them with non-smokers.C.To tell us many people are influenced by them.D.To show his understanding and comfort smokers.2.What can we learn from Para. 2 and Para. 3?A.500 twins were surveyed for the study.B.Probably young people pay more attention to their appearance.C.Female non-smokers are less attractive than smokers.D.Professor Ian Penton Voak is the leading author of the study.3.What is Professor Ian Penton Voak’s attitude to smoking?A.Disapproving.B.Favorable.C.Unconcerned.D.Cautious.4.What can we know from the text?A.Smokers look cooler than non-smokers.B.Smoking may speed up skin’s ageing.C.Smokers look younger than non-smokers.D.Smoking should be banned right away.Passage 1【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

说理议论阅读理解基础练习（5）说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2009重庆,E)改编A recent study,while showing a generally positive attitude toward science,also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”.This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good.Its applications can be channeled either way,depending on our decisions.The decisions we make,personally or collectively,will determine the outcomes of science.But here is a real danger.Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference.And,rather than fighting for the best possible policies,we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further.They say that despite the moral and legal objections (反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done—somewhere,sometime.They believe that science will get out of control in the end.This belief is dangerous too,because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world,the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science.Without a common understanding,the challenges of “controlling” science in this century wil l be really tough.Take human cloning for example.Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact (影响) on traditional moral values,some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques.The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore,discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies.Only through the united efforts of people with hope,can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.1.What can we conclude from the recent study?( )A.People think highly of science.B.People hold mixed opinions about science.C.Science is getting dangerously out of control.D.Science is used for both good and bad purposes.2.According to the passage,what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?( )A.The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B.Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C.The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D.People will work more actively to put science under control.3.The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because .A.scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB.the ties between different areas need strengtheningC.united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD.people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science4.What is the main idea of the passage?( )A.Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B.The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.C.Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D.The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.语篇解读:一次最近的调查表明了人们对于科学及其如何运用于人类世界的不同态度。
