【高考英语每日一练】精选小练习附答案解析（限时45分钟）一．阅读理解AMark Twain (1835—1910)—we've all heard the name, but what makes him “the father of American literature” as classic US author William Faulkner once called him?Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that this work is more wonderful than you could have ever imagined.The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For instance, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it，” he writes in one chapter.Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That's why he is so loved in the US—he wasn't afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.For instance, Twain didn't like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded(入侵) the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to rule the people of the Philippines…”He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”，in 1901.“Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young，” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.1．After reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think ________ according to the author.A．it's not worth all the praise B．it's even better than you expectedC．it's as wonderful as you expected D．it's better to read it with teachers2．In the third paragraph, the author mainly ________．A．indicates what makes Tom Sawyer's adventures so wonderfulB．explains where Twain's idea of childhood comes fromC．shows how naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer isD．gives a brief description of the novel3．What does the underlined word “mock” in Paragraph Four mean?A．Make fun of. B．Show respect for.C．Give examples of. D．Give reasons for.4．Twain is so loved in the US because ________．A．he showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would loveB．he criticized American culture and society clearly and cleverlyC．he wrote bad things about US wars abroadD．he supported women's right to voteBA man came home from work late, tired and irritated to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door."Daddy, may I ask you a question?""Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man."Daddy, how much do you make an hour?""That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily."I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"pleaded the little boy."If you must know, I make $20 an hour.""Oh," the little boy replied with his head down. Looking up, he said,"Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"The father was furious. “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened thedoor. "Are you asleep son?" he asked."No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy."I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.“It's been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you, daddy!" he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again."You are really selfish! Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled with an angry look on his face.The little boy slowly counted out his money and then looked up at his father, replying, "Because I didn't have enough before, but now I do."Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation. Wiping his tear from his eyes, the boy requested in a quiet voice, "Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." Hearing the boy's small but sincere request, the father couldn't help shedding tears. Realizing he was too busy with his business to spare some time with his beloved ones, he gathered his son into his arms and apologized, "Sorry, son. I promise I'll be back early tomorrow."5. When the man came home from work late, he _____.A.was tired but happyB. was tired and angry at his son's questionC. was tired but happy to find his son waiting for him at the doorD. was tired and angry to find his son waiting for him at the door6. The little boy asked the question _____.A. because he wanted to have dinner with his fatherB. in order to borrow some money from his father to buy somethingC. because he wanted to buy a toyD. because he was just curious to know7. After an hour or so the man went to the little boy's room and _____.A. saw if the boy was asleepB. asked him what he needed to buy with that $10C. said sorry to his sonD. gave $10 to his son8. From this passage we can infer that _____.A. the boy would like to have dinner with his fatherB. the boy often asked for money to buy some nonsenseC. the boy loved his father very muchD. the man would get even angrier at last七选五The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. ____9____Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort.

I have been in the teaching profession for more than thirty years, and one of thebest teachers I have ever known is Mr__Rowe. I was lucky enough to teach fourth grade together with him.Mr. Rowe had endless patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I had ever seen. Steven couldn’t stand school. He didn’t like being picked last for kickball. He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn’t like himself.The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe’s classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor. Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: "Hi, Steven. I’m happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year." Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch(投球) the kickball at recess. "Hey, Steven," Mr. Rowe commented, "You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick." Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; when he knew the answer, he raised his hand; when he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was obvious that Steven grewto love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好；4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

杭州外国语学校2013年高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练45倒数第二周星期五AA woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’as an occupation…‘housewife’cover s it,”said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?”she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, with out any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyedup (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career!

Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about r ewards.B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.44. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To s how how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D.

But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.Ei ghty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles(1 mile = 1.6km) in marathons. Ei ght times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also pulled him 2.4 miles in a dinghy(小游艇) while swimming and pedaled(蹬车) him 112miles---all in t he same day. And what has Rick done for his father? Not much---except save his life.This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled （使窒息） by the umbilical cord(脐带) during birth, leaving him brain–damaged and unable to control his limbs.When Rick was 11, the Hoyts took him to hospital and asked if there was anything that could be done to help the boy communicate. “No way,”Dick was told. “There’s nothing going in his brain.”“Tell him a joke,”Dick suggested. They did. Rick laughed. It turned out that a lot was going on in his brain. Equipped with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor(光标) by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate.And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out（啄出）, “Dad, I want to do that.”How was Dick, who had never run more than a mile at a time, going to push his son 5 miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,”he typed, “When we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled any more!”And that sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying tim e for Boston the following year.Then somebody said: “ Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon（三项全能）?”Now they’ve done 212 triathlons.This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 23th Boston Marathon,in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992-only 35 minutes off the world record.And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a heart attack during the race. Doctors found that one of his arteries was 95 percent blocked. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.”So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s lives.49. The underlined word “limbs” in para. 3 means______.A. fingersB. feetC. arms and legsD. wrists and knees50. Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. Rick was unable to communicate until he was equipped with a computer.B. The charity that Rick’s sc hool organized for him totally changed his life.C. Since the first triathlon they did in 1983, they have finished 212.D. To comptete in a triathlon, Dick and Rick had to practice swimming, driving and running.51. The author says that Rick saved Dick’s life be cause ______.A. Rick’s situation encouraged his father when he was terribly sick.B. Rick helped his father get the best treatment.C. all the efforts Dick put in to running with Rick kept him fit.D. when his father had a heart attack 2 years ago, Rick saved him.52. What might be the best title of the passage?A. A brave son who never gives up hopeB. Son’s success resulting from father’s helpC. A distinguished father who devotes himself to sportsD. A family team we can all learn fromDPeople who play computer games to train their brains might as well be playing Super Mario, new research suggests.In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive skills didn’t get any smarter.Researchers recruited(招募) participants from views of the BBC’s science show Ban g Goes the Theory. More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills, for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week.They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet. All participants were given an “IQ test” before and after the experiment.Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet.“If you’re (playing these games) because they’re fun, that’s absolutely fine,”said Adrian Owen, assistant director at Britain’s Medical Research Council, the study’s lead author. “But if you’re expecting these games to improve your IQ, our data suggests this isn’t the case.”Computer games that are supposed to improve memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide, though few studies haveexamined if the games work.“There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world,” said Art Kramer, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, US.Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.Other experts said brain games might be useful, but only if they weren’t fun.“If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you don’t get the answers very often and it really annoys you, then it may be useful,” said Philip Adey, a professor of psychology at King’s College in London.If people are enjoying the brain games, Adey said they probably aren’t being challenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.He said people should consider learning a new language or sport if they really want to improve their brain power. “To stimulate the intellect, you need a real challenge,”Adey said, adding computer games were not an easy shortcut. “Getting smart is hard work.”53. According to the article, which of the following is NO T useful to develop brain power?A. learning a languageB. getting some physical exerciseC. playing challengable gamesD. playing fun games54. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. playing brain games is as ef fective a means of improving the brain as Super Mario.B. playing Super Mario is a better means of improving the brainC. playing brain games can’t improve cognitive skillsD. playing computer games can train the brain55. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Many studies show that brain games are an effective means of improving cognitive skills.B. The skills used in brain games can be transferred to real life.C. Participants took IQ test twice during the research because scientists wished to assess if brain games were effective in improving cognitive skills.D. Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skills than video games.56. Which is another way of summing up Adey’s argument in the last paragraph?A. Practice makes perfectB. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. No pains, no gains.D. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.ESome chimpanzees seem to react like humans in the face of a fellow chimp’s death, two new studies have found. Chimps appear to comfort the dying, experience sadness at death and have trouble letting go.In one study, researchers at the University of Stirling and at Blair DrummondSafari Park in Britain watched how three chimpanzees reacted as a fourth chimp, an elderly female named Pansy, sickened and died.Park officials had separated Pansy from the other chimpanzees for treatment when she be came ill in November 2008. But when her breathing became irregular a few weeks later, the other three chimps were allowed to join her.In the 10 minutes before she died, the three animals –an elderly female named Blossom, Blossom’s adult son Chippy and Pansy’s adult daughter Rosie –frequently groomed (梳理毛发) and touched Pansy. They stood in close, and Chippy shook her arm, apparently testing for signs of life. When they got no reaction, “they appeared to arrive at a decision that something had changed, and she was no longer the same as she was beforehand,” said lead researcher James Anderson, from the University of Stirling. “It seems they are clearly able to distinguish the difference between being alive and unresponsive .”Soon, both Blossom and Chippy left Pansy’s side. Even though it was not her usual sleeping area, Rosie stayed and slept by her mother’s body almost the entire night.Sixteen hours after Pansy’s death, zookeepers removed the body, with the three chimps watching quietly. For several days afterward, the group refused to make a nest at the area where Pansy had died.In the second study, chimpanzee mothers were observed in the forests of Bossou, Guinea, after a disease had swept through a group of 19 chimpanzees, killing five, including two infants . The mothers of those infants continued to carry the corpses (尸体) around, even as the bodies dried out. One mother carried her baby for 19 days; the other mother carried hers for 68 days.“We have two explanations here – one is that there is a very strong bond between chimpanzee mothers and chim panzee infants,” said lead researcher Dora Biro, a biologist at the University of Oxford.“Another possibility is that they were aware of the death and this was just their way of dealing with it,” Biro added, pointing to human inability to let go of objects that remind us of people we have lost.Craig Stanford, a US expert, called the studies’ findings interesting, but said that although humans and chimpanzees shared similar emotions to some degree, it would be dangerous to extrapolate (推断) too much about c himps’ understanding of death.57. The studies have found that some chimpanzees ______.A. feel deep affection for their mothersB. are as clever as humansC. are afraid of death like humansD. seem to have emot ions similar to those of humans58. According to the first study, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Pansy was separated from other chimpanzees until her death when she became seriously ill.B.

高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练4
定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练04倒数第十周星期四AOne day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead ，they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always hav e food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a Gsherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewh ere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it?9，The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep sup plying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”And ，from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.1. Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A. To experience different lifestyles.B. To go sightseeing in different places.C. To find what they could to feed themselves.D. To do more exercise to build themselves up.2. From Paragraph 2，we can know that ______•A. people got tired of living in the same placeB. people gradually got used to living in citiesC. people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD. people tended to settle down after learning farming3. In the teacher’s opinion ，Lucy’s argument was ______A. reasonableB. ridiculousC. puzzlingD. shocking4. Which of the followin g agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?A. People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B. People use recycled materials as much as possible.C. Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D. Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.5. The writer tries to make us believe that ______.A. mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB. it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC. if S quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD. teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravelyIt’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush. ♦Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests. You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for yo u. Social networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them. ♦Join a sports team. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band. ♦Make small talk. Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive —how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible. ♦Ask them out for lunch or coffee. That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives theperson the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends~~don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch. ♦Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend. You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend. ♦ Be a good listener. Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show th at you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and j ust take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation. ♦ Be trustworthy. One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence. 6. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?A. Patience.B. Curiosity.C. Bravery.D. Humor.7. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________A. loyal friendsB. close friendsC. dishonest friendsD. fair-weather friends8. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.A. applying the 30/70 pattern B . talking too much about yourself C. showing interest in their topics D. knowing more details about them 9. To be a reliable friend ，you'd better_______. A. have some common interests with your friendsB. find something to complain about with your friendsC. keep the secrets that your friends have told youD. exchange your personal information with your friends CHow good are you at saying “no”？ For many, it’s surprisingly difficult. This is especially true of editors, who by nature tend to be eager and engaged participants in everything they do. Consider these scenes:It’s late in the day. That front-page package you’ve been working onis nearly complete; the last editing and it’s finished. Then enters the chief editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: “No! It’s done!” What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is ‘don’t say no，. He probably has something in mind w hen he makes the suggestion, and it’s up to you to find out what. The second rule is 'don't raise the risks by challenging his authority，. That issue is already decided. The third rule is ‘be ready to put forward choices and consequences，. The boss’s suggestion might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention ，or about the designer who had to go home sick. TeII him he can have what he wants, hut explain the consequences. Understand what he’s trying to accomplish and propose(提议）a Flan B that will make it happen without destroying what you’ve do ne so far.Here’s another case. Your least -favorite reporter suggests a silly story idea. This one should be easy, but it’s not. If you say no, even politely, you risk holding back further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This case is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter(过滤）story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can bear rejection of their ideas if they believe they are given a fair hearing. Your natural reaction and strong rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to make a “What if ".?，，agreement covering ‘‘What if my idea is turned down?，，How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they perfect the idea and resubmit it? By imagining “What if...?” situations before they happen, you can reach understanding that will help ease you out of opposition.10. This passage is mainly about_______.A. the cases where ideas are rejectedB. the ways to give different opinionsC. the skills of saying noD. the methods for solving disagreements11. Instead of directly refusing your boss’s suggestion, you should_______.A. pretend that you are sickB. seek what he is thinking aboutC. state that your design is quite perfectD. ask him to give the reason for his suggestion12. By saying “This one should be easy •••” (Paragraph 4)，the writer means it’s easy t o_______A. understand the silly story ideaB. let others politely say noC. fool your least-favorite reporterD. turn down that reporter’s idea13. Why is it important to set up a system for stories to be proposed and reviewed?A. To allow reporters enough time to change their attitude.B. To develop reporters5 strong sense of fairness.C. To encourage reporters to give valuable ideas.D. To guarantee reporters chances to give further explanations.14. What is conveyed in the last paragraph?A. Sometimes we may view a problem from another angle.B. We may relax ourselves by raising questions when we're in trouble.C. “What if …？” situations help improve our relationship with others.D. It’s almost impossible for others to accept our ideas at once.DRed roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, “Be my Valentine(情人)，” like all the years before.Each year he sent her ro ses, and the note would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow, with every passing year.” She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She cut away some stems, placed them in a very special vase, and set the vase beside the picture of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his photo and the roses sitting there.A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. Loneliness and solitude had become her fate. Then, the ve ry hour, as on Valentine’s Day before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and just looked at them in shock. Then, she went to get the telephone to call the florist(花匠）shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain why someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago，” the owner said, “I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. The flowers you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”“There is a standing order that I have on file down here. And he has paid, well in advance; you'll get them every year. There is also another thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card ... he did this years ago.” “Then, should ever, I find out that he's nolonger here. That’s the card ... that should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone ，her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. Then ，as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year since I was gone. I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. If it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say. You were the perfect wife.”“You were my friend and lover; you satisfied my every need. I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. But, my love, you must go on; you have some living still.”“Please ... try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your door’s not answered, when the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the roses to the place, where I’ve instructed him, and place them where we are, together once again.”15. How did Rose feel when she received roses a year after her husband’s death?A. Surprised and disappointed.B. Happy but confused.C. Proud but frightened.D. Sad and puzzled.16. What can we know about Rose's husband when he was alive?A. He knew his wife loved roses more than himself.B. He preferred to make arrangements ahead of time.C. He gave his wife a pleasant surprise every Valentine’s Day.D. He was so busv that he had to order roses in advance each year.17.

高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练_
定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练50倒数第一周星期五AGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.41.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A..Children have a better memory than grown-ups.B. People remember well what they learned in childhoodC. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.42. The author explains the law of overlearning by __________.A. presenting research findingsB. using examplesC. making a comparisonD. setting down general rules43. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a skill to deal with math problemsB. a special case of crammingC. a result of overlearningD. a basic step towards advanced studies44. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It's helpful only in a limited way.B. It leads to failure in college exams.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest.BAustralia has passed regulations that will enable more international students to further their education in the country.The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012.As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.Also, overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation, as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement."This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas," says Wang Lan, a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group (EIC), a Beijing-based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas.However, in the past few years, many of Wang's student clients(客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago."According to the previous deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850). Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans."I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I return to China," she says.Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to study abroad, according to the report by EIC.45. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Language requirement for overseas students have been eased in Australia.B. Australia is a most attractive place for students in China.C. More students will work in Australia after their graduation.D. Australia widens window of opportunity for international students.46. Which of the following is NOT the content of the new regulations?A. The student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified.B. The deposit required to study in Australia has been reduced.C. After graduation, some overseas students can get a working visa in Australia.D. Language requirements for overseas students have been more difficult.47. After the new regulations are passed, _______ .A. more students will come to Australia to workB. more Chinese students will choose to live in Australia.C. more Chinese students will choose to further their education in AustraliaD. the opportunities to work in Australia decrease for overseas students48. How much can Li's parents save according to the new regulations?A. 140,000 yuanB. 550,000 yuanC. 410,000 yuanD. 86,850 yuan49. Why do many students want to work in Australia after their graduation?A. Their working experience can make them stay in Australia forever.B. They can earn more money in Australia.C. The working experience abroad will strengthen their competitiveness.D. They have to do so according to the new regulations.CShay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a tea m shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay puton a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first! ”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shouted, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming，“Sh ay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him a nd shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!50. Not expecting much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because thefather _________.A. understood Shay did need a feeling of being acceptedB. guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating51. In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys _________.A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. felt forced togive Shay another chanceC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. would like to help Shay enjoy the game52. The smallest boy threw the bal l high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably becausethat boy ________.A. looked forward to winning the game for his teamB. was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purposeC. failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD. saw that Shay already reached second base53. Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team?A. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.C. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.D. One of the opposing players ran to help him.54. What to you think is the theme of the story?A. Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.B. True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.C. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.D. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the playersDThe opening scene of The King’s Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VI—wonderfully played by Colin Firth—stepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer(口吃者) wrote this screenplay(剧本).I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentences—knowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helena’s: “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen…” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen.” The school teacher said, “Master B-B-B-Biden! What’s that word?” She wanted me to say gentlemen. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I was reading it: “gentle”｜breath｜“man”.Ninety-nine percent of the time, the teachers were great. I never ha d professional treatment but a couple of teachers taught me to put a regular rise and fall in my tone of speaking, and that’s why I spent so much time reading poetry. But even in my small, boys’ prep school, I got nailed in my class with the nickname Joe Stutterer. You get so desperate, you’re so embarrassed. I actually went and s tood by the side of my house once, with a small round stone in my mouth, and tried to talk. Jill alwaysthought I was kidding until she saw the movie and saw King George did the same thing.King George relied on the support his wife and the help of Lionel Longue, who, in describing working with other stutterers, said, “My job was to give them confidence in their voices and let them know that a friend was listening.” I was lucky enough to have more than a couple of Lionels in my life. Nobody in my family ever—ever—made fun of me or tried to finish my sentences. My mother would say, “Joey, you cannot let stuttering define you.” And because of her and others, I made sure it didn’t.Through hard work and determination, I beat my stutter in high school.I even spoke briefly at my graduation ceremony in 1961—the most difficult speech of my life. My fight against shyness and embarrassment at my early age has developed my ability to understand others’ feelings as Vice President of the country in public life. I still mark up all of my speeches the say way Firth’s character does in the movie,pencil-marking every line to remind myself to stop, to breathe, to pause—to beat back my stuttering as best as I can. I don’t stutter anymore, and most people who know me only late in my life are shocked that I ever did.By capturing exactly how a stutter feels, The King’s Speech has shown millions of people how much courage it takes for a stutterer to stand up and speak. Equally important, it has shown millions who suffer from the pain that it can be overcome, we are not alone, and with the support of those around us, our deepest fears can be conquered.55. The writer whispered to his wife, “A stutterer wrote this screenplay”, because __________.A. he desired to release his secret to his wifeB. he was reminded how it was as a stutterer on such occasionsC. he thought Colin Firth had a wonderful performance in the filmD. he wanted to make his wife realize why the film was so popular56. What can we learn from the example in Paragraph 2?A. Kids with a stutterer could be made fun of at schools.B. “Gentleman” was very difficult for a 7th grader to pronounce.C. It was impossible for a stutterer to pronounce even very simple words.D. The teacher had a clever way to teach how to pronounce the word.57. Which word can best replace “nailed” in Paragraph 3?A. AttachedB. UncoveredC. HammeredD. Tricked58. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?A. The writer would have a good fortune to get help from many people.B. The writer should realize he had to stand up from his pain and defeat itC. The writer could get enough confidence under his mother’s helpD. The writer must be happy that everyone in his family did not laugh at him.59. To give a speech as well as he can, the writer, reveals the fact that __________.A. he tried to talk with a small round stone in his mouth.B. his wife keeps encouraging him to practiceC. he still marks up all his speechesD. his teacher helps him to put a rise and fall in his tone60. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. Whatever pain and fear we have, we can defeat them if we try hard.B. The similar stories of the writer and King George VI gains great admiration.C. The suffer we had at our early age will have a heavy influence on our future life.D. Stuttering is such a pain for children that we should give help and encourage them.参考答案41-60 BBCA DDCAC ADBAB BAABCD。
