作者通过自己的经历论证了倾听别人建议的重要性。
答案及剖析:1.B 事实细节题。
由第一段第二句可知,医生往往不喜欢听建议,因为他们了解情况,故选B项。
2.A 事实细节题。
由第二段最后两句可知,作者大胆提醒飞行员(主治医师)放下起落架,第一次感到了大胆说出来的力量,且从此以后在手术室也这样做。
3.D 猜测词义题。
根据第二段作者大声地提醒飞行员“将起落架升起来”从而使大家脱离危险及文章最后一句话可知,此处“landing gear up”借指所犯的可能会以生命为代价的错误。
4.B 主旨大意题。
作者将自己从飞行员职业经历中所获取的经验运用到行医生涯中,使自己善于倾听别人的建议,从而使自己成为了一名优秀的医生。
B项符合题意。

【2014·山东省济南市高三巩固性训练】More men are finding their calling as nurses.A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s.Back then，about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new study，which tracked data through 2011，finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States—about 330,000 men in total.Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts，according to the report，which included recruiting men into the field.Men，in fact，had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities make this field attractive，offering stability even during recessions (经济衰退)，” wrote the report’s author，Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And because of high demand，nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists (麻醉师)，which is the highest paid nursing occupation，and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses，the lowest paid types of nursing.Nurse anesthetists are required to get graduate education，and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from anesthesia.Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses provide patients with care and may work under the supervision (监督) of a registered nurse.Registered nurses assess patients’ healthproblems and needs，develop and carry out nursing care plans，maintain medical records，and administer care.For all types of nursing，men earned，on average，$60,700 per year，while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations，men outearn women，” wrote Landivar.1．Which of the following is true about nurses in the US in the 1970s?A．The number of male nurses doubled.B．About 2.7% of registered nurses were men.C．There were about 330,000 male nurses.D．About 9.6% of employed nurses were men.2．The underlined word “recruiting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A．helping people to get used toB．ordering people to learnC．asking people to join inD．inspiring people to devote3．Why are more men willing to become nurses in the US?A．The economy is in bad condition.B．More people are out of employment.C．It is promising to go to nursing schools.D．It’s easier to get employed and well paid.4．According to the text，male nurses are more likely to________.A．become licensed practical nursesB．devote themselves to workC．graduate from nursing schoolsD．get the highest paid nursing occupation5．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．Men are more likely to be better nurses.B．As nurses，men earn more than women.C．Male nurses work harder than female ones.D．Male and female nurses do different jobs.语篇解读本文为说明文，主要介绍了美国男护士的就业情况。

Once there was a prisoner who was jailed in a dark prison which he thought was a great fortress(堡垒). The cell was dark and wet. There was a tiny window with bars on it. The rest of the cell was so dark that he could not see the other three walls. The only wall he could make out was the wall with the window in it. The only light the room received was from this window. Once in a while the prisoner would manage to climb up to the window and look out on the world outside. If he stretched and looked, he could see a little bit of the life-giving sun out there.For the first five years in that prison the prisoner stayed in the tiny place of light thrown in through the window. He never tried to go past the edge of the little square of light. But then he became restless. The prisoner started to move a little bit at a time deeper into the darkness of his prison cell. He moved a few inches a day. After what seemed like a year he found the left-hand wall of the cell. It took him much less time to find the right-hand wall as he was becoming more confident.Then he began to search for the wall opposite the window. As he went deeper and deeper into the darkness of the cell he thought of turning back. But his curiosity drove him forward. In the darkness of his cell he found the back wall had a door. And the door was open!The door had always been open, and it led to a passage, which led him out of the dark prison into freedom and the life-giving sun. His imprisonment（监禁）had all been his mind.1. Why did the prison NOT think of running away from the cell?A. Because the cell was very dark and he could see nothing.B. Because the cell was so well-guarded and he could see no way to escape.C. Because he had thought there was no possibility to escape from the cell.D. Because he was afraid of getting lost if he walked out the cell.2. What did the prisoner do during the first five years?A. He searched for ways to get out.B. He stayed where the light shone.C. He did nothing but blame himselfD. He thought about where the other three walls were.3. The underlined word “restless” most probably means ______.A. boredB. illC. excitedD. sleepy4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The pr isoner couldn’t see even a little of the sun in the dark cell.B. The prisoner was certain that there was a door before finding it.C. The prisoner found the left-hand wall of the cell in a short time.D. The prisoner thought of giving up looking for the back wall.阅读理解。

浙江奉化市2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）选练（2）及答案【含讲解】浙江奉化市2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）选练（2）及答案【含讲解】阅读理解Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱) . For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn’t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name- calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire.On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non- threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s positi on. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn’t mean trying to figure out what’s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what bothsides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Ev en if it doesn’t, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn’t mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basiclife skill that should be taught in schools across the country.1. This article is mainly about.A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts2. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that.A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight3. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who is to blame.B. To get ready to try new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.4. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that.A. there was decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. more teachers felt better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher- student relationship greatly improved5. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to.A. complain about problems in school educationB. teach students different strategies for school lifeC. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence【参考答案】41.DBCAC阅读理解Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem.I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to ” follow your passion" was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. However, it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.Passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly‘‘valuable”，for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.Passion is dangerous. I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hoppirig due to the ‘‘follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we allhave apre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison.Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you're seeking a dream job, you'll end up frustrated, again and again. Don't set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.67. People satisfied with their careers are _______.。

浙江乐清市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（2）及答案写人记事（阅读理解）As a young boy,I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad.He was a rural mail carrier,and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him.Driving through the countryside was always an adventure:There were animals to see,people to visit,and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop,and Dad did.In the spring,Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens,and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad’s final day of work,it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,”he used to say,“and a story at every one.”One lady had no mailbox,so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind.Once inside,he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail.One note left in a mailbox read,“Nat,take these eggs to Marian;she’s baking a cake and doesn’t have any eggs.”Mailboxes might be buried in the snow,or broken,or lying on the ground,but the mail was always delivered.On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate.A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps,so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox;Dad paid for the stamps.One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.Once,the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago,when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death,the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all,but that wasn’t the case.As I drove home,I noticed two lamp poles,one on each side of the street.When my dad was around,those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground.One box was painted green,and the other was red,and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering:SANTA CLAUS,NORTH POLE.For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house.Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps.There,at the door,stood Frank Townsend,Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years.So we all sat down at the tableand began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes.“Wh at are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?”he asked.“The letters?”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what?”“Remember,when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street?It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes.It wasn’t hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one.I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood,and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me,just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.1.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as .A.great chances to help other peopleB.happy occasions to play with baby chickensC.exciting experiences with a lot of funD.good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies2.The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that .A.Dad had a strong sense of dutyB.Dad was an honest and reliable manC.Dad had a strong sense of honorD.Dad was a kind and generous man3.According to the passage,which of the following impressed the writer most?()A.Dad read letters for a blind lady for years.B.Dad paid for the stamps for a young girl.C.Dad delivered some eggs to Marian.D.Dad answered children’s Christmas letters every year.4.The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is .A.offering analysesB.providing explanationsC.giving examplesD.making comparisons5.What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?()A.Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.B.Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.C.Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.D.Santa Claus had so much information about their families.6.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?()A.The MailB.Christmas LettersC.Special MailboxesD.Memorable Travels语篇解读:本文为记叙文,属于人物故事类。

浙江省2016高考英语二轮练习：说理议论阅读理解（3）解析答案说理议论（阅读理解）由(2012北京,D)改编Wilderness“In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism.The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out,there is a strong appeal in images of the wild,the untouched; more than anything else,they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly.The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong,and the danger exploitation (开发) brings to such landscapes (景观) is real.Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests,for example,store carbon in vast quantities.To Mr.Sauven,these“ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane,a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute,takes the opposing view.He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services,such as water conservation.But that is not,he argues,a reason to avoid all human presence,or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation.There are ever more people on the Earth,and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives,rather than merely struggle for survival.While the ways of using resources have improved,there is still a growing need for raw materials,and some wildernesses contain them in abundance.If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide,the argument goes,there is no further reason not to do so.Being untouched is not,in itself,a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further,and to their being challenged by the other participants.One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly.And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings,but also the guidance of reason.What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.1.John Sauven holds that.A.many people value nature too muchB.exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC.wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD.the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong2.What is the main idea of Para.3?()A.The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B.Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.eful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D.All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.3.What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?()A.Objective.B.Disapproving.C.Sceptical.D.Optimistic.4.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?()CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点)C: Conclusion语篇解读:本文为议论文,题材为节能环保类。
