阅读限时练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·河南实验中学模拟)At the end of every year, Time picks the best25 inventions that are “making the world better and smarter”. Here we havepicked three of this year’s inventions that could be a part of your life in thenear future.The levitating(悬浮的) light bulbThis special light bulb was invented by U.S. artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a light bulb float from hoverboards(悬浮滑板), which he used to dream of having as a kid.But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets(磁铁), which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What’s new here is a technology called induction(电磁感应). It allows the light bulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.Shoes that tie themselvesThey’re not what you think—shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step into them, your feet will hit a sensor(传感器) in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.But the shoes weren’t just designed for lazy people’s needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.The no touch thermometer(体温计)Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer in your armpits(腋窝) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it’s an impossible task for little kids.Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from a patient’s forehead and press the button, and it can get reading in two seconds.【解题导语】每到年终岁尾,《时代周刊》都会评选出25项“让世界变得更加美好和智能”的最佳发明.本文介绍了其中的三项发明.1.The most amazing aspect of the levitating light bulb is that ________.A.it can floatB.its inventor is more than a scientistC.it makes use of the rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnetsD.induction allows it to get power even when unconnected with the baseD解析:细节理解题.根据The levitating(悬浮的)light bulb部分最后两句可知,悬浮灯泡最神奇的地方是这项电磁感应技术可以让灯泡不用接触底座就能通电.故选D项.2.How is the no touch thermometer different from other ones?A.It makes it easier to take kids’temperature.B.You need wait two minutes for the reading.C.You don’t need to press the button.D.It should be put in one’s armpit.A解析:推理判断题.根据The no touch thermometer(体温计)部分可知,这种新型的体温计可以不用紧贴皮肤,而且读取数据的时间也很短.且这个发明让儿童的体温测量变得更容易了.故选A项.3.In which part of a newspaper can you possibly read this text?A.Education.B.Sports.C.Science. D.Entertainment.C解析:推理判断题.本文介绍了三项新的科技发明,属于科技类文章.故选C项.B(2018·石家庄高三质检)Despite being used by 1.34 billion peopleeach year,traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen,however,is trying to change this.“You get on the Tubeand it’s completely silent and it’s weird,”says Jonathan Dunne,who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges(徽章)with the words “Tube chat?” last month,encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another.“I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million,expecting most of them to be thrown away,but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,”he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat”campaign have since been reported by media across the world,seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the U.K.,as well as countless website,newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback,not everyone agrees with his idea.Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own,handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it”on them. Michael Robinson,24,a student from London,agrees.“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work.It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,”he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t,but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,”Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person nextto you?Just make sure to check for a badge first.【解题导语】每年乘坐伦敦地铁的乘客众多,可是人们仍然感到孤独;为此Jonathan Dunne发起了一个旨在鼓励乘客相互交谈的运动,此举引起了世界媒体的关注.尽管如此,人们对此仍有不同的态度.4.How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?A.By putting up posters on the Tube.B.By advocating his idea on the media.C.By offering passengers special badges.D.By starting a dialogue with passengers.C解析:细节理解题.根据第二段的“who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges(徽章)with the words‘Tube chat?’”可知,Dunne给乘客们分发写着“Tube chat?”的徽章来鼓励乘客聊天,故C项正确.5.How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?A.It has caught international attention.B.It has become a worldwide campaign.C.Most passengers have refused to accept it.D.Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.A解析:细节理解题.根据第二段的“‘Tube chat’campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the U.K., as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances”可知,Dunne和他的“Tube chat”运动引起了世界各种媒体的关注,故A项正确.6.According to Michael Robinson,what should Tube passengers do?A.Hand in their feedback in time.B.Walk up and talk to strangers.C.Stop using public transport.D.Enjoy the peace quietly.D解析:细节理解题.根据第三段的“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you”可知,Michael Robinson认为乘伦敦地铁是人们上下班时享受安静的时刻,而不是交谈的时刻,故D项正确.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Tube Chat or NotB.Lonely Travel in the London TubeC.Silence on the TubeD.Tube Passengers Wearing BadgesA解析:标题归纳题.通读全文可知,文章第二段介绍Dunne和他的“Tube chat”运动引起了世界各种媒体的关注;第三段介绍一些人持不同的观点;最后一段建议如果要跟陌生人打招呼,先看看他有没有徽章.据此可以判断,文章主要介绍了人们对于是否在伦敦地铁相互交谈持不同的观点,故A项最能概括文意.CAging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: attitude is everything.Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger opposites who are under stress. The big question is why seniors are the happier. A recent study suggests one reason: older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.“The notion that those in old age are the happiest is misleading,”said Richard Easterlin, a professor of economics at the University of Southern California. “It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health, family life, ”Easterlin added. “When you take account of the fact that older people have lower income than the younger, are less healthy, and are more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier.”In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.Even if one does give in to age’s dark side, health and happiness don’t always go hand-in -hand. It’s all about attitude. Research by the University of Chicago suggests that attitude about life and happiness is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life. “Most people desire happiness,”Easterlin said. “To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了幸福和变老以及态度之间的关系.8.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A.The key factor to older adults’happiness.B.There is a conflict between aging and happiness.C.No one can define the limit to happiness.D.The relationship between health and happiness.C解析:段落大意题.根据文章最后一段的第一句和本段的整体内容可推知,幸福并没有限度,故选C.9.Why are some seniors happier according to some experts?A.They focus on what makes them feel good.B.They have their own circle of friends.C.They can enjoy social welfare services.D.They have better income after retirement.A解析:细节理解题.根据第二段的整体内容可推知,老年人更加幸福是因为他们可以关注自己喜欢的事情,故选A.10.What can we learn from the passage?A.People of the same age have the same sense of happiness.B.Attitude may play a very important role in happiness.C.People who adapt the best to changes are more likely to be unhappy.D.Older adults who have more valuable life experiences are more optimistic.B解析:细节理解题.根据第一段最后一句可知,幸福的关键还在于态度,故选B.11.What’s the topic discussed in the passage?A.Whether aging or attitude brings happiness.B.Why seniors adapt the best to changes in society.C.What the limit to an elder person’s happiness is.D.How older people feel compared with younger people.A解析:主旨大意题.根据第一段开篇点题并结合最后一段的首尾呼应可推知,本文主要讨论的是变老和态度究竟哪一个能让人感觉幸福,故选A.Ⅱ七选五(2018·深圳模拟)Choosing the Right Path to Be a “Better” PersonLife is a constant exercise in selfimprovement.In the rush to achieve, the idea of being “better”can become lost sometimes.You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way. 1.________Explore your talents.Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests.So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you.2.________For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be.Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’ll enjoy.3.________No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate.It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.If you’re particularly unhappy at your job, consider why.4.________If you feel your job isn’t meaningful, or isn’t in line with your values, consider finding another job.Experience something new.Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone, we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it.5.________Because of that, we may react slowly to our own positive experiences.It’s important to have new experiences and interactions with others, even when those are a little scary.Doing so can help you achieve more.A.Do what you love.B.Here are some tips for you.C.Register in a class you’re interested in.D.Human adapt very quickly to positive events.E.It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling.F.Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.G.Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.【解题导语】人生就是不断自我提升的过程,有时我们急于取得成功,却迷失了自我.本文就如何提升自己给出了一些建议.1.B解析:上文提到你可能想知道如何用更简单的方式提升自己,下文则给出了一些建议.由此可知,设空处承上启下.B项符合语境.2.F解析:本段最后一句提到,判断你喜欢跟谁在一起有助于你了解自己喜欢什么.由此可知,F项符合语境.故选F项.3.A解析:本题考查标题句.根据该标题下的“It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.”可知,花时间做自己喜欢的事很重要.由此可知,A项(做你喜欢的事)符合语境.4.E解析:上文提出如果特别不喜欢现在的工作,考虑一下原因,下文则提出考虑换一份工作.由此可知,E项(有时候作出一些改变也可以改变你的心情)符合语境.5.D解析:本段的主题是体验新事物.空格后说,正因为如此,我们可能对自己的积极的经历反应迟钝.D项(人类对积极的事件适应很快)正好解释了下文的现象.故选D项.。

必修第三册Unit5Ⅰ.阅读理解A(福建龙岩三模)Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent a lifetime flourishing(茁壮成长) in the face of misfortunes before being appointed a Supreme Court justice.She was born on March 15,1933 in Brooklyn,NewYork.Ginsburg’s mother implanted a love of education in Ginsburg through her devotion to her brother.She graduated first in her class at Columbia Law in 1959.Even her eic record was not enough to shelter her from the gender-based discrimination women faced in the workplace in the 1960s.She had difficulties finding a job until a favorite Columbia professor directly refused to recommend any other graduates before U.S.District Judge Edmund L hired Ginsburg as a clerk for two years.After this,she was offered some jobs at law firms,but always at a much lower salary than her male colleagues.She instead took some time to pursue her other legal passion,civilprocedure,choosing to join the Columbia Project on International Civil Procedure.In 1963,she accepted a job as a professor at Rutgers University Law School.And in 1972,she became the first female professor at Columbia to earn tenure(终身职位).Ginsburg also directed the influential Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s.In this position,she led the fight against gender discrimination and successfully argued six landmark cases before the U.S.Supreme Court.Ginsburg took a broad look at gender discrimination,fighting not just for the women left behind,but for the men who were discriminated against as well.Ginsburg accepted Jimmy Carter’s appointment to the U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980.She served on the court for thirteen years until 1993,when Bill Clinton nominated(提名) her to the Supreme Court of the United States.Ginsburg began her

birthday wish is to develop better corn varieties,” he says.After the celebration,he began another journey to Sanya,in South China’s Hainan Province,where he has worked most of his life.Cheng is a scientist in agriculture and spends most of his life studying and cultivating(栽培) corn.He visits Sanya in November every year and stays there for six months to cultivate corn.Once,when he was conducting a field survey,a female farmer said to him in tears,“You graduated from college.Could you please find a way to increase the corn output here?If the yields(产量) are higher,our children will no longer suffer from hunger.” Sincethen,Cheng has made developing high-yield corn varieties his life’s mission.In 1964,he came to Hainan,where it was warmer,and started his work there.He greatly shortened the cultivation period and created hybrid corn varieties for the first time.With these new varieties,farmers in Xunxian County saw their average corn output was more than 3,750 kg per hectare per year.Despite the beautiful coastline,the environment where Cheng works used to be troubled by poverty and poor traffic.Locals once described the area as having a large number of rats,mosquitoes,and poisonous snakes.At that time,he did everything on his own.He lived in a local villager’s house and he f requently went to the mountains to chop firewood to cook.His hard work,however,has paidoff.Now,authorities have approved 14 new,high-yield corn varieties Cheng helped develop.Cheng is dedicated to developing high-yield corn varieties with stronger resistance and they are easier to harvest with machines.He still goes to the fields each day and observes and records the cornplants.“Cultivating seeds is like raising kids.Only by careful parenting can you become

Ⅰ阅读理解ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in nonfiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”. While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions. For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”—the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”. From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how. Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了四本纪实类文学作品。

However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies two daughters. Along withnine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, andher mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévignéin Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics andphysics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-rayfacilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.In 1918 ,Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924,Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work.

Ⅰ阅读理解ADon’t have plenty of time for reading?If you are interested in non-fiction books,here are good choices for you.A Room of One’s O w nThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In it,Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women,in other words,spend so much time cooking,cleaning,and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well,therefore,a woman must have “a room of her own”. While on its surface,this essay appears to be only about writing,it is actually about wealth and class,freedom and imprisonment,and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi,The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters,each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war,the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions. For centuries,it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou,a respectable American poet,is written for “the daughter she never had”—the millions of women,both young and old,who she considers to be her “family”. From the viewpoint of a caring,older relative,this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences,including the birth of her only child,a son,as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf you’re short on time,then why not read about,well,the creation of time?This book,first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking,explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe,including if and when it will end,and if so,how. Despite its heavy subject matter,Hawking addresses these questions in a way that’s easy to understand,even for those who know little about physics.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了四本纪实类文学作品。

Unit5 LearningfromnatureⅠ.阅读理解AMiss Baugh taught seventh-grade social studies.She was the kind of teacher that perhaps everyone has had at least once:scary.In class,she always taught us to take school seriously.She had been teaching for a long time and I was as afraid of her as anyone,including the boys who were typically naughty in the back row.But I also had a life outside of school and had just discovered cheap objects for pranks.One such prop(道具) had two parts:an ink bottle painted to look as though it had overturned,and a piece of shiny black metal shaped like a pool.Of all the people I could have tricked,uneiss Baugh.At the beginning of the class,I opened her book and placed the props on one of the pages.Then I waited for the fun.When Miss Baugh saw the bottle and the spilled ink,she let out a little cry and looked for something to wipe up the ink with.The trick had succeeded beyondmy expectations.But then I suddenly knew I had no control over what would happen neiss Baugh tried to remove the ink with a paper towel,she discovered it was just a piece of black metal.She picked it up,her eyes sweeping the classroom with a deadly gaze.Then came the question:“Who did this?”After some hesitation,I raised my hand.Miss Baugh fie,and my classmates.And the n,most unexpectedly,she laughed.“Well,it certainly fooled me!” she said.She returned the props to me,and for a few seconds a sweet little aged lady appeared right where Miss Baugh stood.We got back to having a class.But something had changed for me.I began to realize that,if someone like Miss Baugh had a warm heart beneath that crusty surface,then other crusty people would probably do,too.That may have been the most valuable lesson I learned.1.Which words best describe Miss Baugh according to paragraph 1?A.Serious and experienced.B.Easy-going and selfless.C.Naughty and demanding.D.Scary and narrow-minded.2.What does the underlined word “pranks” probably mean in paragraph 2?A.Bets.B.Experiments.C.Tricks.D.Strategies.3.What can we learn from paragraph 4?A.Miss Baugh’s stare wasn’t as terrifying as before.B.The author was given away and finally raised his hand.C.Miss Baugh burst into laughter and gave the props back.D.A little aged lady entered the classroom to give a lecture.4.What valuable lesson did the author learn?A.Crusty people can be easily changed.B.Crusty people may be friendly to others.C.Crusty people are difficult to get along with.D.Crusty people are sensitive to others’ feelings.BDo you often compare yourself to other people?Comparisons can help to make decisions and motivate you but they can also pull you into a comparison trap.Whether it’s the number of goals you’ve scored at football or how many books you’ve read,it’s easy to compare yourself to someone else.Scienti sts say it’s a natural behaviour that helps humans learn from each other,live happily together and achieve more.Although comparing can be good for you,it’s not always helpful and you can find yourself stuck in a comparison trap.This is when you always measure yourself against others and base your feelings on how well they seem to be doing.Becky Goddard-Hill is a child therapist (someone who helps children understand their feelings) and author of CreateYourOwnConfidence.She says that comparisons can make us feel good and bad about ourselves.“Comparing up” means seeing someone doing better than you and using that to inspire yourself to aim higher and try harder.However,Goddard-Hill says,“Sometimes it can make you feel rubbish about yourself and knock yourcon fidence.”“Comparing down” is when you see someone who seems like they’re not doing as well as you.“This might make you feel you’re doing well,”says Goddard-Hill,“but it can also stop you wanting to improve.”If your feelings depend on what other people aredoing,“Surround yourself with cheerleaders,” suggests Goddard-Hill.Notice how people make you feel and spend time with friends who celebrate your strengths rather than compare themselves to you.If you follow social media accounts that make you feel you ar e failing in any way,unfollow them.“Find ones that make you laugh or show you lovely places instead,” she says.Finally,focus on your own achievements and how you can improve.“The best person you can compete with is yourself,” says Goddard-Hill.5.How does a comparison trap affect us?A.It makes us focus on our own behaviour.B.It stops us from learning from each other.C.It prevents us from living happily together.D.It bases our feelings on others’ achievements.6.What’s true about “Comparing up” and “Comparing down”?A.Both of them usually enhance our confidence.B.Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.C.The former is positive while the latter is negative.D.The former makes us feel good while the latter makes us feel bad.7.What does Goddard-Hill suggest?A.Aiming to be our best.B.Trying to be the best.C.Trying to be a cheerleader.D.Valuing someone else’s achievements.8.In which section of a magazine can you find the passage?A.Achievement.B.Entertainment.C.Health.D.Politics.Ⅱ.七选五HowtosetupaLibraryofThingsInstead of

rural areas,a mobile sharing library could work.E.We were also getting annoyed about waste we were creating.F.Speak to others who have done it and are willing to share their

必修3 Unit 5 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读+1篇七选五,限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AAmong the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some eventually make it with relative ease.They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a cooperative program.Coop programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience.During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Coop programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University.These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors.Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the Coop program.“It's easy to understand,”said a senior education counselor.He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are wellknown companies or local government organizations.Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or termtime freely.The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration,”added the counselor.“That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”语篇解读:本文介绍了加拿大的一些大学针对留学生的合作项目。
