These needles may possibly do you some good.”I agreed.In a moment, he had taken out a few needles from his purse.Without a moment’s delay, he fixed a few needles into the skin on my head here and there, Before long, I felt thoroughly relieved(缓解疼痛). Just then, the doctor sped through my house and said, “Where is our patient?”“Sorry, Doctor, You are too late, It’s killed!”I answered in delight.It’s miracle , isn’t it?56.The underlined phrase from bad to worse in the second paragraph refers to the man’sA.character B.lifeC.headache D.health 57.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.the neighbour fixed needles on his own head B.The neighbour is a kind-hearted person.C.The man’s pain was killed before the doctor arrivedD.Soon after the acupuncture, the man wascompletely recovered.58.The sentences” You are too late.It’s killed .”mean thatA.the pain was killed because the doctor came late B.the man was killed because the doctor came too lateC.before the doctor came the man’s headache was already curedD.it was too late and the man had gone way 59.The passage tells us that .A.everyone knows that acupuncture is a miracle B.the neighbour wanted to use acupuncture on every patientC.the effect of acupuncture on the man was unbelievableD.the patient did not believe in acupunctureBPeople used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇)the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”Both these sayings mean the same thing.Men rulethe world, but their mothers and wives rule them.. Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves.They want good jobs.When they work they want to be better paid.They want to be as successful as men.The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men.They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success.They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (自信) in herself.If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet.But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.60.“Behind every successful man there is a woman”means_______.A.men are always successful but not womenB.women are not willing to stand in front of menC.women do play an important part in men’s lives and workD.women can be as successful as men 61.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay forthe same work.B.Most American women want to be more successful than men.C.Not every American woman wants to get a job.D.The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.62.According to the passage, many American women today are ________。

During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mother. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me —why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out the truth?When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons. Most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移)is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things j ust like to travel.1. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to __________ .A.find food more easilyB. enjoy warmer weatherC. give birthD. find beautiful places2. The fish called “salmon” spends a long life in __________.A.salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace3. The mice in northern Europe move when __________.A. they give birthB. the weather is badC.they haven’t enough foodD. the place gets too crowded4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D.Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.5、根据短文内容,从后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

"Whenever I tell people that fish have ears, they look at me like I’m mad," he says in a BBC film that examines the ways in which fish communicate.away. Studies also show that noise can hamper(妨碍) the development of some young fish, with some born abnormal and others failing to hatch at all.The professor Simpson, who recorded the communication of fish on Blue Planet II, said that fish talked to each other through a variety of different languages. Audible(听得见的) communication is key for fish while hunting as a group, to warn each other about the approach of the killer. Professor Simpson also said that there was a "full" orchestra of sounds from the communication of marine life but that this was being drowned out by human noise from boats, pile driving and the search of finding undeveloped oil and gas reserves.Professor Simpson said, "We are only now beginning to understand the full impact of man-made noise on fish and to assess impacts on how they communicate. But I’m sure that action can be taken to reduce man-made noise within 20 years. By learning to listen, we can help restore the natural acoustic conditions."28. Noise pollution affects the fish in many ways when lorries and trains pass over the bridges EXCEPT ________.A. makes some born abnormalB. masks the calling for mateC. prevents some being hatchedD. ruins fish hearing completely29. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in paragraph 5?A. All kinds of sounds mix together.B. The orchestra will be performed by the fish.C. Various sea animals talk with different languages.D. The sounds of the sea animals are better than the orchestra.30. What’s the attitude of the professor towards the future condition of the sea?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Suspicious.31. What’s the best title for the text?A. Man-made Noise Hits Fish Lives.B. Sound Pollution Ruins Creatures.C. Marine Lives Are Valued by Experts.D. Sea Animals Are at the Risk of Dying out.DIn the late 1960s, the anthropologist(人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Guinea armed with mirrors, video and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt(扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response—coveting their mouths and ducking their heads—they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter’s devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed(打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other."It’s unclear if the Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what’s striking isn’t how strange their reaction seems, but how relatable. You know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, hug or social kiss? That’s the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty," as Dahl defines it. Su ddenly, I see I’m viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in lifts.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it’s natural to want to overcome it. Dahl’s initial motivation for writing her book A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunity than ever to improve the image we’re presenting, and more pressure than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates aindicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different opinions.32. How did New Guineans feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Curious about their looks.B. Satisfied with their images.C. Shocked at their reflections.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33. Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing in public with your trousers zip open.D. You’re refused when offering your seat to a s eemingly pregnant woman.34. What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?A. Seeking perfection.B. Not knowing anything novel.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems.35. What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?A.

2020年高考英语重难点专练七 7选5(附答案解析)
重难点07 7选5【命题趋势】阅读理解七选五要求从短文后的七个选项中(均为完整的句子)选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选项,主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。
其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研阅读多项选择题的影响,体现了《新课标》"用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力;逐步获取用英语思维的能力。
"的阅读学习和教学理念。
该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点,又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙,只是选项少,以句子形式出现,考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述"主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。
"可以得出以下判断:该题备选项可分为主旨概括句(文章整体内容)、过渡性句子(文章结构)和注释性句子(上下文逻辑意义)三类。
其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置,例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题,过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构,注释性句子与上文脱节等。
文章体裁以说明文为主,语篇模式较为固定:提出问题——提供解决方案。
文章题材较为固定:与学生的日常生活学习紧密相关。
【满分技巧】【解题步骤1】在高考的现场如果考生用大量的时间来彻底读懂文章的意思其实是不现实的,也是没有必要的,我们可以尝试以下四步走。
1.先读文章的开始部分,明确文章的基本话题,然后仔细阅读五个空各自的前后句寻找并画出关键词。
【巧学妙记】(一名(名词)袋(代词)鼠(数次)很特殊(特殊疑问词),连(连词)蹦(动词)带跳很彪(标点/标题)悍。
)2.要对文章中出现的衔接手段保持敏感度。
衔接手段分为三种:词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。
可按这几个原则判断原文的空与选项是否匹配。
3.一旦确定一个选项,就要在该选项上做出标记(例如可以删掉),以避免干扰和分散注意力。
4.将选项代入到文章中重读,依据行文逻辑,再次确定选项。

AThe Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils. 1.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _____.A.making huge profits B.traveling the Silk RoadC.exchanging goods and ideas D.connecting different civilizations2.Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?A.The deser t’s surface was easier to walk on.B.Camels for transportation were easier to find. C.It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.D.There were more natural water sources available.3.What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.B.They were located around the edges of the desert.C.Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.D.They were shared by travelers from different countries.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.The origins of the Silk Road.B.The benefits of the Silk Road.C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.BThe age of technology is a great and convenient thing, but it does have effects on us in many different ways.It causes long-term memory loss. Thanks to Baidu, we don't really have to remember much of anything. Questions are answered at the drop of a hat because Baidu is all-knowing! Is that a good thing, though? People aren't digging through their brains anymore to find answers. Here's the good news: we can still exercise our long-term memory by simply thinking before we Baidu. If we don't want to go down that road, we can search Baidu for some memory games to play. Turn Baidu into an asset instead of an enemy.It makes us lack patience. Baidu gives us what we want. Everything is instant. In fact, if we have to wait for even a handful of minutes for anything, we start losing our minds. This idea of instant satisfaction carries through to many other aspects of our lives, too, like when we go out to eat, drive in traffic, or even deal with workplace accidents. Instead of using Baidu to lessen our anger, try searching for some mindful meditations (沉思).Focus on our breath and realize everything doesn't have to move at lightening speed. We can actually listen to some peaceful spa or meditation music on our Pandora, too!It wastes our time. Be honest, how much time are we spending on Baidu every day? Whether we're doing research for our own personal needs, buying clothing, or writing a research paper, we all spend a ton of time on the trusty Internet. Are we always being efficient with this time? For the sake of our precious time, if we haven't used Baidu Drive, we should. Keep spreadsheets, text docs, PDFs, slideshows, and even recordings exactly where we can easily find them. Keep a running list of websites we know we'll revisit.Overall, things are different these days. Yes, there are noticeable negative side effects because of the Baidu invasion, but we don't have to fall into that trap. Stay sharp and don't let ourselves become imprisoned doing the Baidu god's bidding.5.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “at the drop of a hat”?A.at one point B.in no time C.in a way D.at a loss6.Why do we turn impatient in real life according to paragraph 3?A.We depend on ourselves too much.B.We can't get everything with Baidu.C.We can't get quick services in real life.D.We get used to Baidu's quick convenience.7.What is the author's advice on saving time online?A.Using Baidu Drive.B.Keeping papers correctly.C.Being efficient with work.D.Emptying websites records timely.8.What does the text mainly tell us?A.The side effects of Baidu and solutions.B.The advantages and functions of Baidu.C.The technology and influence of the Internet.D.The disadvantages and risks of the Internet.CUsing natural and organic products for skincare is increasingly popular-and that includes suncream. Many websites, including Pinterest and Instagram, feature users' recipes for homemade suncream. Judging from the comment, the rise in interest for homemade suncream is because some people fear the chemicals in shop-bought suncream and believe that natural products mixed at home will be better at protecting them from the sun's harmful rays. The fear originates from recent news that some suncream elements seem to disturb hormones (荷尔蒙).Many of the homemade suncream recipes contain elements like shea butter and cocoa butter as well as coconut and vitamin E oils. The sun protection factor (SPF) values for these elements, according to the authors of these recipes, are between four and six. These SPF values, if true, are not enough to protect the skin against the harmful effects of sunlight. Some recipes include carrot seed essential oil, which the authors claim to have an SPF of 35-40. But this is unlikely, given the small amount used in these recipes. The European Commission recommended SPF factor for moderate skin protection is 15-29 (and 30-50+ for high protection).The sun's most harmful rays are ultraviolet (UV) radiation-notably UVB and UV A radiation. UVB has a shorter wavelength and doesn't go far into the skin, but it is very dangerous as it can change the DNA in skin cells and cause skin cancer. UV A has a longer wave- length and can go much deeper into the skin.UV A can cause harmful reactive oxygen molecules (分子)called “free radicals” to form. These molecules can damage fat, protein and DNA in the skin, thereby weakening the normal function of skin cells.Shop-bought suncream contains approved UV-blocking molecules that block UV A and UVB rays. Zinc oxide (氧化锌)is one of these UV-blocking materials. It has been extensively tested to determine the most effective size for blocking harmful rays. It is not clear whether the zinc oxide powder recommended for the homemade recipes meets with the recommended size or proportion needed.9.What may concern consumers of the shop-bought suncream?A.The price of it. B.The hormones in it.C.The chemicals in it. D.The production process of it.10.What are SPF values used for?A.Measuring the amount of chemicals in suncream.B.Measuring the harm suncream do to people.C.Measuring the hormone level of suncream.D.Measuring the protective effect of suncream.11.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.How sun protection products work. B.What harm the sun's rays bring to skin.C.How the sun's most harmful rays form. D.How UVB and UV A radiation can be blocked. 12.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Shop-bought suncream needs more tests.B.More zinc oxide powder is beneficial to skin.C.Shop-bought suncream is more suitable for people.D.More chemicals will be added into shop-bought suncream.DWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co- workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So,I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.13.From the second paragraph, we can know that ________.A.the author used to be politeB.the author's grandma is humorousC.we should relieve stress in any situationD.family members should play tricks on each other14.The underlined phrase ''busting a gut'' in the Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ''________''. A.explaining carefully B.speaking loudC.keeping silent D.laughing hard15.By writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.A.talk about his own understanding of humorB.encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC.introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD.convince people of the power of being optimistic about life第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundacion Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is offered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton.

What do these terms mean and how can these terms help you choose a preschool?Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschool’sWhile educational philosophies are numerous and their “educational philosophy”.definitions are not set in stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of the most popular philosophies.The Montessori MethodFocuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another.The Reggio Emilia ApproachThis approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration.The Waldorf ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and analytical thought.The Bank Street ApproachThis approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world.The High/ Scope ApproachThis approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning.Children are taught to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success o f their plan and brainstormideas for the next day.Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference betweenother common early childhood terms will help you make informed decisions regarding your child’s education.1. If a pre-school stresses each child’s learning progress, it may employ ___________.A. The Reggio Emilia ApproachB. The Montessori MethodC. The Bank Street ApproachD. The Waldorf Approach2. According to the passage, which of the following is True ?A. The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves.B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same.C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools.D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.BDeep among the streams and kauri trees of rural south Auckland, New Zealand'snewest and most alternative school is in session. The weather is fine so a bout of (一次) fishing is in order, followed by lunch cooked on an open fire. Homework and classes? Indefinitely dismissed.“We are called a school but we look nothing like any school out there,” saysJoey Moncarz, cofounder and head teacher at Deep Green Bush School. “We don't do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn math. When they are interested indoing it, they do it.”Moncarz is an exmainstream teacher. After five disappointing years inmainstream schools in New Zealand he quit to found Deep Green Bush School, whichhas a roll of eight, and no classroom walls, time out chairs (罚坐椅) or tests.Concerned that mainstream schools were not preparing children for the globalproblems of the future — such as climate change — Moncarz imagined a totallydifferent kind of education, rooted in the primal skills of hunting, gathering andsurvival. If the weather allows, pupils spend the majority of their day outdoors,exploring the New Zealand bush, learning to fish and hunt, trapping possums andlearning about the plants and animals of their home. The more traditional school skills,such as reading, writing and arithmetic, are acquired at their own pace, after theybegin showing an interest in them.“We don't have what you'd traditionally consider problem kids,” says Moncarz.“Our parents saw their kids were unhappy and stressed in mainstream education andthey started questioning: Is it normal or right for kids to come home stressed a ndunhappy? Having taught in a mainstream school, I'd say most kids are stressed andunhappy.”Bush School is registered with the Ministry of Education as an independentschool, and therefore does not have to abide_by the standard New Zealand curriculum,although it is subject to ministerial regulation.Inspired by the Sudbury Valley School in the US, which in turn was inspired byA. S. Neill's Summerhill School in the UK, since launching in January Moncarz hasbeen fielding requests from around New Zealand and abroad to open chapters of BushSchool in places as far a field as China and Europe.Moncarz insists that the school isn't an “experiment” in education, and is basedon two million years of evidence of how parents have raised their kids, at one with,” nature. “We don't want to be one of a kind.
