ATo American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's".There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people.There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July.The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “Ra th er shoeless than bookless," they proudly say.1. American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because .A. no dogs are permitted in the capitalB. the police do not carry handgunsC. the climate is rather mild.D. it is very different from America2. The following statements are true EXCEPT .A. there are no soldiers in IcelandB. the Icelanders don't drink beerC. there is no service fee of any kindD. there are no crimes in Iceland3. There is no pollution in Iceland mainly because .A. Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerB. the Icelanders use hot water from the ground below as their energyC. it is located just under the Arctic CircleD. it is a democratic independent country4. "Rather shoeless than bookless" means .A. they prefer not to have shoes or booksB. they would rather have shoes on than write booksC. they prefer traveling to readingD. they regard books more important than shoesBAn old problem is getting new attention in the United States—bullying(恃强凌弱. Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland. She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying. Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her. Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA. Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota. She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child. She had a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends. And over aperiod of time her grades fell completely. She started having health issues. She couldn't sleep. She wasn't eating. She had terrible stomach pains. She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night. Didn't want to go to school."Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence. Or it can be verbal — for example, insults or threats. Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.And now there is cyber bullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages. It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s. The latest government study in the United States was released last year. Itfound that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network. She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need. She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.5. From the case of Tina, we can know that .A. bullying is rare in schoolB. victims suffered a lotC. schools are to blame for bullyingD. personalities are related with bullying6. Cyber bullying is appealing to the bully because _________.A. it can involve more peopleB. it can create worse effectsC. it is more convenientD. it can avoid cheating7. According to Susan Sweater, .A. bullies are anti-socialB. bullies should give victims helpC. victims are not equally treatedD. bullies themselves also need help8. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. 15-Year-Old Irish Girl Committed SuicideB. Girl’s Suicide Brings Fresh Attention to BullyingC. Cyber-Bullying Taking Off in SchoolsD. How to Solve the Problem of Bullying Among TeensCMachines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago, few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent his machine, to stop anyone copying it. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. Hedidn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum (旋转桶 of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. Theworld had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.9. Inventors patent the inventions so as to ______.A. produce more new machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money10. According to the article, modern inventors ______.A. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long timeB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much11. The underlined wo rd “crude” in paragraph 3 means______.A. quite uselessB. ugly-lookingC. much tougherD. not skillfully made12. The article mainly tells us about ______.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the homeDPeople fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small toplay the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966 Taylor's fame and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky; she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others —several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.13. The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because theythought she ________.A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show much interest14. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they wereboth ________.A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. successful when very youngD. rich and kind-hearted15. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of ________.A. 12B. 28C. 31D. 3416. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to________.A. doing business and helping othersB. turning herself into a legendC. collecting money for the poorD. going about research and education workETechnology: Taking the good without the bad? Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives. This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlying them. There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding. We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous. The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology ( 纳米技术 , artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt. But they are going to be very, very dangerous. I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence. I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain. Target date is 2010. The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator( 终结者 is that the people win. If you're fighting against technology which is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win. Nanotechnology. We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue. And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT. Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek(星际迷航. And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much. Eventually these technologies will become routine. That’s a threat to humanity. I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down. So whatwe need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools. The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger. I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed. 17. From the text, we know that the author’s greatest concern is A. our l ack of technological understanding of the process involved B. our lack of technological capability C. creating technology without really understanding the basic science D. Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create 18. It can be inferred from the text that the author . A. thinks people overestimate (高估 the capabilities of technology . 第 6页共 8页B. is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positivelyC. thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriouslyD. believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically 19. Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win? A. Because the power of the technology is exaggerated(夸大. B. Because the strength of the machines is much greater. C. Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans. D. Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle. 20. The author’s attitude toward the advanced technologies is A. worried B. positive C. interested D. scared . 第 7页共 8页1-4 DDBD 5-8 BCDB 9-12 BDDC 13-16 ACBA 17-20 CBCA 第 8页共 8页。

2024届全国高考(新高考)英语复习历年真题好题专项(阅读理解＋读后续写)练习Ⅰ.阅读理解A2023ꞏ济南市高三检测说明文258词★★★☆☆The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice. It outlines the four basic steps used to persuade potentials to make a purchase. The first three steps lie in creating attention (A), decorating interest (I), and building desire (D) for the product, before the fourth step—the “call to action” (A)—tells them exactly how and where to buy. AIDA can channel the customer's feelings through each stage toward reaching a sale.Attracting the customer's attention is the first challenge and this may be achieved by using an attracting phrase or picture. Once someone's attention has been clutched,__it must be turned into real interest. This is best done by providing a brief description of the product's benefits to the consumer rather than simply listing the product's main features or problem-solving claims.Now, it is time to transform that interest into a desire for a product or service. This is where consumers need to believe their lives could be better by possessing the product. It could be a vital step towards turning a potential into a real customer.“Call-to-action” is where all of the initial hard work pays off and leads to the action from a potential customer. For example, they might pick up the phone to discuss the idea of a trial of the services or, alternatively, they may just buy that product or service that has been promoted to them all along.And AIDA is used to great effect in the movie industry. Movie studios begin their marketing campaigns months in advance. The campaigns develop by offering attractive flashes of the movie without giving too much away. Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview which is fully designed to show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue on the opening weekend. Advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie's release, inviting the consumer to go and buy a ticket.1．What is the purpose of practising AIDA?A．To create jobs.B．To increase sales.C．To research markets.D．To introduce products.2．What does the underlined word “clutched” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Seized. B．Freed.C．Cheated. D．Affected.3．In which stage of the AIDA model may a customer call to try the service?A．Action. B．Interest.C．Desire. D．Attention.4．Why does the author mention the movie industry in the last paragraph?A．To design an AIDA model.B．To display how AIDA works.C．To show how to make a movie.D．To advertise the movie industry.B2023ꞏ济南市高三检测议论文349词★★★☆☆According to a study done by University of Michigan, shopping to reduce stress was 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and shoppers were three times less sad than those only looking at items.More than half of the 1，000 consumers surveyed by Credit Karma, head researcher of the study, said they have shopped to deal with feelings of stress or depression. About 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress shopping said they had purchased alcohol when stressed. About 82 percent of women spend on clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead shopping for jewellery, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men.In some sense, stress shopping can actually help you live a healthier life by making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. The survey found 82 percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood was long-lasting. However, stress shopping, for many, could grow into a drive that uses up money, causes conflict, and therefore adds great stress to life.Despite the in-time joy from purchases, stress shopping never proves a long-lasting cure to stress or depression. Actually it needs to be avoided anyhow. Whether you're purchasing presents or buying groceries, having the items you need written down will provide you with brightness while shopping. Reward yourself for sticking to your list and you'll be more likely to commit to it.In addition always think about what you struggle with most financially. Do you spend too much money at the mall? Eating out? Vacations? Make a list of where your money is going and take necessary steps to resist your desire. For example, if you spend too much money on dining out on weekends, stuff your cupboard with food on Friday. So you'll be more likely to stay in and cook. And you need to give up the need to keep up with others. Everyone's financial situation is different and comparison may lead to debt and dissatisfaction with what you already have.5．Why does the author mention those numbers in Paragraph 2?A．To support an idea.B．To attract readers.C．To call for actions.D．To introduce a topic.6．Which of the following may help deal with stress shopping?A．Stimulating desires.B．Recording spending.C．Turning to medicines.D．Comparing with others.7．What is the author's attitude to stress shopping?A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.C．Objective. D．Negative.8．What is a suitable title for the text?A．Does shopping benefit us?B．More stressed, women or men?C．Should we compare with others?D．Can stress shopping reduce stress?Ⅱ.读后续写[2023ꞏ武汉市高三调研]阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

But that wasn't the most extraordinary thing. The most extraordinary thing was that the Lake Shore Drive Bridge is a drawbridge.“The first time, it was scary," Dorsay told a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times, recalling how a bell would ring and his home would tip into the air, allowing ships to pass along the Chicago River below. "After that, it was almost like riding a ferry's wheel." Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, puts it more straightforwardly. "Essentially," he says, "it changed his living space from horizontal(水平的) to vertical. "Dorsay had a history of homelessness and emotional problem. but inthe bridge. he thought, he had finally found a kind of stability. "You've got to be kind of agile(敏捷的)," he admitted. "But it doesn't take genius to figure out what to do. " Dorsay is now without a home, though he is currently staying with his parents.

All three of us were critically injured. Stacey’s brain injury was the most severe. Despite all attempts to save her, she died two days later. When I became conscious, I heard my husband talking to the organ donor coordinator(器官捐助协调员).We knew that Stacey would want that because that’s the kind of person she was. She always wanted to assist people. She was always smiling and brought so much joy to others. She was friendly and enjoyed writing stories and poetry.It has been a comfort to know that Stacey lives on in the lives of others. I have even met the family of one of Stacey’s kidney recipients (接受人). This little girl was 6 years old at the time of the transplant. She was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome. I saw pictures showing the effects of the Nephrotic Syndrome and the pictures of her after the transplant. They already showed an amazing difference. We correspond every year through letters, cards and pictures. The girl is doing really well at school and will be graduating from high school next year. I am so grateful that we have this relationship. I also feel relieved that my daughter has made so great a difference to a person’s life.Over the years, I have had some kind of contact with all of the recipients except the heart recipient. I’m very sorry for that.I would love to hear something from the heart recipient’s family.There are so many things that I wonder about her. I wonder if she is anything like Stacey. Does she smile all the time? Does she enjoy writing stories and poetry? I do hope that they can contact us!I feel guilty because I was the one driving in the accident which caused Stacey’s death. I also feel proud that my daughter has helped so many people.4. When did Stacey die from the traffic accident?A. On May 28th, 1998B. On May 29th, 1998C. On May 31st, 1998D. On May 30th, 19985. What does the underlined word “They” refers to?A. The pictures taken after the transplant.B. The people who received the organs of Stacey.C. The people who cared for the girl in the hospital.D.

What has the writer been looking forward to doing?A. Contacting the kidney recipient’s family.B. Visiting kidney recipient’s family.C. Getting paid from the heart family.D. Seeing the heart recipient.CWhen we give our kids holiday gifts, many of us can’t wait to hear their appreciative cries of “thank you!” once the wrapping gets ripped off. But here’s a tip: You’d be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. Butdo the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them? All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it won’t happen. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank he r for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But that’s what moms should do.” From a teenager’s angle, it’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the family. According to Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”—it’s just mom and dad living up to their obligation.Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids can’t know how blesse d they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they don’t learn that by a parent complaining that they’re ungrateful. We need to give our children the gift of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff—which ultimately ca n’t make any of us happy anyway. It’s about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids de cide how it’s distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, it’s much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matteraren’t on sale at a department store.8. How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?A. They show no interest in their parents’ gifts.B. They can’t wait to open their parents’ gifts.C. They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.D. They take their parents’ gifts for granted.9. To make children grateful for what they have, parents should _________.A. live up to their obligationB. ask their children to have good mannersC. teach their children by setting an exampleD. complain their children are ungrateful10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.B. Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.C. Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own moneyD. It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.11. What’s the purpose of the author writing this text?A. To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.B. To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.C. To encourage parents to do things together with their children.D. To remind parents of their responsibility to educate theirchildren.DPeople with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, thenour measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”12. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. less healthy weightB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. taking alcohol or drugs13. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By presenting questions and answers.D. By giving definitions and examples.14. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food anddrug behavior.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine release caused by food addictionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Impulsive personality linked to food additionD. Food addiction contributing to obesity。

The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him.His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he�d finished.The note was rather short.Bob: I was at the right place on time.When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago.Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man (便衣) to do the job.1.The man from the West must have broken the law _____.A.in ChicagoB.in New YorkC.in his hometownD.somewhere else2.The man from the West recognized the tall man not to be the one he had been waiting for because the tall man ____.A.had a different accent from hisB.had a different nose from his friend'sC.was his another old friendD.said "Chicago wants to talk with you.?"3.The two men may have walked _____.A.for ten minutesB.arm in armC.face to faceD.both A and B4.We can suppose Jim _____.A.was afraid of the man from the WestB.got another man to help him when necessaryC.had an appointment with Bob 20 years agoD.had something else to do and couldn't e himselfKeys:1-4 ABDC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 2Fear and its panion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used.If fire didn't hurt when itburned,children would play with it until their hands were burned away.Similarly,if pain existed but fear didn't,a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before.A really fearless soldier―and some do exist―is not agood soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army.Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used.If,for example,you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car,you are letting fear rule you too much.The important thing is not to let fear rule you,but instead,to use fear as your servant and guide.Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.In many cases,you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger.For example,you see a car ing straight towards you; fear warns you,you jump out of the way,and all is well.In some cases,however,you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.For example,you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house,and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes.In this case,fear has given you its warning,you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you,and you have to try to e it.60.Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if_________.A.they were not well educated at schoolB.they had never played with fire beforeC.they had no sense of painD.they were fearful of pain61.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because_________.A.they have gained experienceB.they are warned of the danger and take quick actionC.they jump out of the way in timeD.they are calm in face of danger62.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A.Too much fear is harmfulB.Fear is always something helpfulC .Fear is something that can be avoidedD.Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life63.The best title for this passage should be __________.A.No Pains,No GainsB.Pain and ActionsC.The Value of Fear D .The Reason Why People Fear参__：60―63 CBAC高考英语阅读理解训练习题 3Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs.They are construction workers,truck drivers,mechanics,steel workers,electricians,and the like.What makes this class differ from the lower class is,first,longer periods of employment__and therefore,more fixedes?and,second,employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的) occupations,not unskilled ones.Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy,including those of skilled and semi-skilledworkers,it is most mon at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less mon at each level upward.They consider themselves to be respectable and hard working and they look down upon members of the "lower" class,whom they often consider to be lazy,dishonest,and too ready to exploit public assistance.Most people in the working class have at least high school education.Many have some experience of college ,though few are college graduates.Unionization has helped the working class,but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly.Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremelydifficult,although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents.(Home-owning rises with social class.)A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs,because much of their work is ordinary and boring.As a result,many seek their main satisfaction in recreational ( 娱乐的) activities.Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses,though few make it.Many place their expectations on their children,hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success,American style.1.Which of the following is true about the working class.?A.They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers.B.They are often offered jobs with high es.C.They are often considered lazy and dishonest.D.They are often exploited by the public.2.The underlined word “hit” (paragraph 1 ) r oughly means .A.strike with a blowB.have bad effects onC.break up3.Most people in the working class .A.have difficulty increasing their savings greatlyB.have at least some experience of collegeC.receive houses from their parentsD.buy houses by themselves4.Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because .A.they could not rise in the ladder of successB.they are not interested in their jobsC.they could not earn much moneyD.they are not their own bosses答案1.A2.B3.A4.B。

（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套（带答案）及解析（英语）高考英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解One of the biggest problems when we are talking is the awkward silence. Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled wit h this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something… But later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and found that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)--holding back from saying something until you've "checked" to make sure that what you're about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you don't know how to change from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. It's fun to realize that you're allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you don't say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the "Oh! That's interesting…" "Hmm, I've never heard of that" "Hmm, cool!" expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that you're really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, they'll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows that stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if it's not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.（1）If people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .A. train their working skillB. improve their life qualityC. enrich their social lifeD. establish their working relationship（2）When talking with others, we should .A. feel nervousB. think twiceC. be free to expressD. avoid breaking in （3）According to the passage, what do the speakers care much about?A. The attractive topics of conversation.B. The atmosphere of the conversation.C. The listener's experiences and tastes.D. The listener's curiosity and concern.（4）What does the underlined part "juice-up conversations" mean?A. making conversations more boringB. making conversations livelierC. making conversations smootherD. making conversations more relaxing【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文本文是一篇议论文，我们谈话时最大的问题之一是尴尬的沉默。

2025届高考英语复习：历年优质真题、模拟题专项(阅读理解＋读后续写)练习 Ⅰ.阅读理解A2023ꞏ新课标Ⅱ卷说明文290词★★★★☆Reading Art: Art for Book Lo v ers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this “book of books，” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate__to．Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before thewide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.1．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．An introduction to a book.B．An essay on the art of writing.C．A guidebook to a museum.D．A review of modern paintings.2．What are the selected artworks about?A．Wealth and intellect.B．Home and school.C．Books and reading.D．Work and leisure.3．What do the underlined words “relate to” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Understand. B．Paint.C．Seize. D．Transform.4．What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A．The printed book is not totally out of date. B．Technology has changed the way we read.C．Our lives in the 21st century are networked.D．People now rarely have the patience to read.B2024ꞏ济南模拟说明文264词★★★☆☆There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights, sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors. But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city. An outdoor cooling system produced by Green Kinonko , an Israeli (以色列的) company , began to be tested in Tel Aviv. The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.With global warming heating up the temperature, it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes. While outdoor cooling systems haveexisted for a while，most of them use some sort of water or a misting system to cool the air around them, consuming too much water and power. After two years of development, the perfect solution to the problem was found. “We have invented a new generation of air conditioners，”Green Kinonko's CEO Leizer said.As Leizer introduced, the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen (氮) and gas nitrogen. When liquid nitrogen at －196 ℃turns into gas, it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine. It is the mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.The technology is unique and amazing. Beyond the coolness of the concept，it also has other advantages. The work unit doesn't need to be power-driven, and doesn't blow out harmful warm air as it works. As for the potential price, it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner. In addition, the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days, depending on usage. This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses. The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.5．What does the underlined word “sweltering” in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Warm. B．Dry.C．Hot. D．Freezing.6．What problem does the existing outdoor cooling systems have?A．They are wasteful.B．They overheat easily.C．They often break down.D．They are slow to cool the air.7．What does Paragraph 3 mainly explain?A．What powers the engine.B．What turns liquid into gas.C．How the pressure is formed.D．How the new system works.8．What is the purpose of this text?A．To promote a company.B．To settle an energy crisis.C．To introduce a technology.D．To market a misting system.Ⅱ.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
