阅读理解-词义猜测AWhat are the qualities of a good journalist？Here's what I have found.First，a good journalist should be alert(警觉的)．If you're not，how can you find news？You should always stay alert.Only in this way can you find valuable news.Don't think you can just sit in the office and wait for phone calls about information.It doesn't work.Second，you should have an inquiring mind.For example，when something happens，you should think why it happens，what consequences(后果)it will lead to，and so on.Don't just report what you see.Dig deeper to find more information.Third，a good journalist should be quick.It means you should report quickly what you have discovered during your missions.If you report the news too tardily，then it is not news，right?Fourth，as a good journalist，you should be accurate.I remember that a singer was said to be in a relationship which he was not in a few years ago.The journalist reported it just because of a rumor.Luckily for the singer，he is a very lovable person，and the large audience of that newspaper did not believe what the report said.That happened his case，but there are many other people who can have their entire careers ruined because of some bad rumors.So never report something just based on a rumor.Also，to be a good journalist，you need to be brave and willing to sacrifice.I have to tell you that the life of a journalist is not easy.Let's say your boss tells you that from the next week，you will go to a war area and stay there to send back valuable information for two months.Would you quit and look for another job？I hope not.This is not what we want from our journalists.1．According to Paragraph 2, a good journalist should________．A．wait for phone calls about informationB．go out and look around on the street every dayC．get valuable news from his/her colleaguesD．know it once something worth reporting happens2．What does the underlined word“tardily”in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Fast.

答案：CB(2017·河南省六市高三联考)We've all had a bad feeling soon after a hearty lunch.You can't stay focused，your energy level falls，and you wish you possessed a warm blanket so you could curl up under your desk for a quick nap.But you have important things to do—like completing that project or leading a team meeting in less than an hour.You don't have to suffer that fate anymore.I have four foods that will get your focus back on track so that you can finish your workday stronger than you started.Keep these products handy in your office，and you'll never suffer from that 2 p．m.mental slog ever again.Green TeaWhile coffee is an important afternoon pi ckmeup，green tea should not beoverlooked.The unique combination of the amino acid thiamine (硫胺素) and caffeine has been shown across several studies to improve creativity，ability to multitask，and reaction time.Try some amazing tea recipes to get started.AlmondsAlmonds are a great afternoon recharger and research from Purdue University shows they will also aid in your weightloss efforts.This is because almonds provide sustained energy：a mix of fat，fiber，and protein.Those elements allow almonds to offer a convenient snack that gives you a smooth shot of energy that comes from controlling your blood sugar levels.Plus，research shows that people who regularly eat nuts have as much as a 50 percent reduced risk of having a heart attack.Greek YogurtResearch from the University of Missouri shows that protein helps your body into better blood sugar controlling by stimulating the release of the hormone glucagon (胰高血糖素)．Aim for a cup that has 20 to 23 grams of protein for your snack.Dark ChocolateDespite often being viewed as a bad dietary food，dark chocolate can help fight off that urge to take a nap in the middle of the day.While dark chocolate does contain small amounts of caffeine，its real power comes from phenethylamine (苯乙胺)．Research from Middlesex University in London shows that just smelling chocolate can shift brain activity towards greater attention.【语篇解读】午餐太过丰盛常导致下午注意力不集中和工作效率下降。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped w ay to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam' s being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal s peech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. S am's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm S am Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, beca me available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor ha d to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam May nard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, g etting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing f ace. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may s tart a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on t elevision are doing more today for racial and religious toleran ce than people in any other forum.1. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.2. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.B. Humor is important in our lives.C. Early bird can get the worm.D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.3. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. try to hold backB. pretend to setC. send offD. give out4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the pa ssage?A. Many lose life's battles for they are always late.B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.C. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.D.

高中英语真题-阅读理解训练(5)_5
阅读理解训练（5）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A MythIt is true that world population is growing, but this is not the ca use of our current and future global problems. Believing this w ill cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For o ne thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts populat ion growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possi bilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that th e world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the lo w variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of their future population predictions. In addition to this, the size of families is actually decreasing.For another, if the Earth is overpopulated, there needs to be i nsufficient (短缺) food, water, and space for humans to live. However, India n economist Raj Krishna estimates that alone is able to incre ase crop produce to the point of providing the entire world’s fo od supply. The World Food Programme confirms that there is sufficient food grown to feed the world and there is the same amount of fresh water on the planet now as there was 10,000 years ago. So how is it possible that the number of people in t he world is affecting our planet?Therefore, it is not an increase in population but an increase i n consumption that is a severe threat. Materialism and overco nsumption are facts of life for everybody in the western world, as possessions reflect a person’s status in society and people strive to obtain happiness through owning the latest fashiona ble goods. Not only that, but waste is a common occurrence which has a huge effect on our resources. It is a sad truth that 80% of the world’s resources are currently used by just 20% of the world’s population.Our overconsumption must be addressed now to make our liv es more sustainable (可持续的) and avoid continuing the terrible damage to the environme nt we are causing. The key is education. If we do not work to wards this but instead focus on the wrong issue, we may find ourselves living on a planet that can no longer sustain humanlife.1. According to the author, what causes our current and future global problems?A. The increase in population.B. Shortage of food and water.C. The fast growth of material needs.D. Failure to protect the environment.2. The underlined word “myth” in Paragraph 2 is closest in me aning to _________.A. factB. misconceptionC. possibilityD. uncertainty3. The author stresses that _____.A. people should save food and waterB. economists are making wrong predictionsC. wrong judgment leads to serious consequencesD. measures should be taken to reduce population4. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. The real cause of global problems.B. The severe effect of overpopulation.C. Reasonable use of natural resources.D. Methods to reduce overconsumption.【参考答案】C B C .A2016高考英语二轮：（精选）阅读理解训练（5）及答案A“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old prov erb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve p arents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, go ing on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s educat ion. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children l earn more and schools function better when parents and scho ols work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.Communities can help children create and achieve new goal s. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s tea m, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and buil d self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role mod els by sharing their experiences and wisdom.Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You ma y be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilitie s. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a m ini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.21. The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibilityof shaping a child’s future.C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they w ere born.D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was r aised.22.. The text was written mainly for _______________.A. parents and members in organizationsB. teachers and studentsC. newspaper reporters and developing electriciansD. education experts and government officials23. Students can get developed in practical working skill throu gh ______.A. parental involvementB. community activitiesC. business trainingD. school teaching24. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and h igh ideal.C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.参考答案21-24 BACBBMany people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, a nd then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all rela tionships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, s ibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some l evel, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what c onditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situati on. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do somethin g to help the other person without taking on the whole proble m.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your frie nd, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three m onths. And I expect you will pay me back within three monthsand certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to anothe r friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the o ther person obey the limits. You are only responsible for follo wing the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/ her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a b ad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people m istakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. B ear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving y our friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) mann er.25. According to the passage, setting limits means__________ _________.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away fro m your friend26.Once you decide to set limits, you should_______________ _________.A. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friendD. begin to help your frie nd27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting____ __________.A. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of reje ctionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendshipB. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friendsD. Show your love in a new way参考答案25-28 ABACCOne girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race eve nts. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she d idn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every d ay and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot su n and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted. All o f our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watche d Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish i n first place.My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the fir st fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next on e. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences l ike a bird and I turned him toward the finish line. As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.29. The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 3 ) most probably means ______.A. told how to enter the arenaB. shown how to make th e horse beautifulC. removed from the competition earlyD. told to enter the ti med-speed events30.

第三部分名人故事（五）21. Albert Einstein, a Great Scientific Thinker艾伯特•爱因斯坦—伟大的科学思想家艾伯特•爱因斯坦，举世闻名的德裔美国科学家，现代物理学的开创者和奠基人。
爱因斯坦的狭义相对论成功地揭示了能量与质量之间的关系，解决了长期存在的恒星能源来源的难题。
近年来发现越来越多的高能物理现象，狭义相对论已成为解释这种现象的一种最基本的理论工具。
其广义相对论也解决了一个天文学上多年的不解之谜，并推断出后来被验证了s的光线弯曲现象，还成为后来许多天文概念的理论基础。
大大推动了现代天文学的发展。
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.Born of Jewish parents at Ulm in Germany, he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph. D. at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism in Germany and Hitler’s persecution of the Jews.In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relative to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there is really no such thing as absolute motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity. He also improved on Newton’s theory of gravity. Most o f his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.Towards the end of his life, Einstein was asked by a group of students to explain his complicated Theory of Relativity. He said, “When you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That is relativity.”Comprehension Questions:C. still in Switzerland at the age of twenty-six.D. still at the University of Zurich at the age of thirty-six.3. One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ______A. planes can go faster than trains and buses.B. people couldn't run as fast as vehicles.C. light goes the fastest of all things.D. two trains can never go at the same time.4. Einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving, it would seem to get shorter and shorter ______A. because the ruler itself was short.B. when it was moving faster and faster.C. because we can't see it clearly.D. because the ruler was broken into pieces.5. Albert Einstein was world-famous for his ______A. Special Theory of Relativity.B. General Theory of Relativity.C. improving on Newton’s theory of gravity.D. all his work mentioned above.(DCCBD)22.
