阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites.”However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing（捕捉）moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?”In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?1.According to the passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT .A. getting out of a library that has no access to the InternetB. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-FiC. enjoying travelling better without carrying any Hi-Tech equipmentD. making travel plans via the Internet2.Through the fourth paragraph, the author intends to .A. show a different opinion on the topicB. give more evidence to the view mentionedC. get into another topicD. summarize the previous paragraphs3.What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland?A.Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech.B.Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.C.Taking pictures doesn’t affect appreciating nature.D.Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price.4.What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph?A. A camping holiday.B. A holiday without Wi-Fi.C. A holiday in a remote hotel.D. A holiday without taking pictures.【语篇解读】本文是议论文，讨论 free Wi-Fi 以及科技对生活的影响。
1.C【命题立意】细节理解题。
考查考生对具体信息的理解和提取能力。
【试题解析】本题针对文章前三段的内容，也就是论述 free Wi-Fi 为人们生活带来的便捷。
A 源于第一段内容，B 源于第二段内容，D 源于第三段内容。
而选项 C 来自第三段原文：“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the sui tcase,” said the Daily Mail.“We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling…”2.A【命题立意】写作意图题。
考查考生把握文篇章结构和作者写作意图的能力。
【试题解析】第四段出现关键词：“However”，文章转向另外一个议论角度：free Wi-Fi 的缺点。
3.D【命题立意】细节理解题。
考查考生对具体信息的判断能力。
【试题解析】对于 A 选项，Anita Isalska 的经历说明没有高科技的生活是可能的。
B 和C 选项的错误来源于对“I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me from enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or meadow of wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?” 这段话的理解，即高科技分散了旅行者欣赏自然美景的精力。
正确答案 D 来自于对第五段核心内容的概括，选项中还用了“come at a price”这个短语，该短语也被原作者使用在了第四段。
4.B 【命题立意】词义猜测题。
考查考生根据对上下文的理解推测词义的能力。
【试题解析】根据上文的“true escapes”和“make their lack of the Internet into an ap pealing feature”可推测出“an unplugged holiday”指不使用高科技和免费Wi-Fi，从而尽情享受假期的度假模式。

As I reflect on this significant event, a smile spreads across my face. As I think of Shanda, I feel loved and grateful.It was my twelfth year of dancing.

As I went backstage, I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement. I waited anxiously for my turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the loudspeaker announced my name.

All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.As I walked up to the judge to receive my shining, gold trophy (奖杯), I realized that dance is not about becoming the best. It was about loving dance for dance itself, a getaway from all my problems in the world. Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment. After all the doubts that people had in me, I believed in myself and did not care what others thought.

(建议用时：40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·惠州高三调研)When I was a boy, our extended, immigrantfamily would sometimes gather at my aunt’s tiny house over the summer.Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. The adultswould crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on eachother’s lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. Finally my face fell first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said，“I’m it! You’d better run！”I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and made my joy return. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes，“We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.”Perhaps it is time we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一个移民大家庭中爱与善的分享使全家团结一致的温馨故事。

【关键字】高考四川洪雅县2017高考英语九月阅读理解新编（一）阅读理解训练(2015·江西省上饶市三模)When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations, added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.“ I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more, ”said Abe, disturbed.It was an unimportant thing, and many clerks would have forgotten it, but Abe was too conscientious for that.“ The money must be paid back, ”he decided.At night, he closed the store, and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young clerk weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales. It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night, and so, of course, given his customers short weight. I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the defrauded customer. I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given, in later times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe, ”was well deserved. A man who begins by strict honesty in his youth is not likely to change as he grows older, and mercantile honesty is some guarantee of political honesty.文章大意：本文是小故事。
阅读理解+语法填空+书面表达分类综合训练--2023届高考英语一轮复习
阅读理解+语法填空+书面表达分类综合训练一、阅读理解AGoogle's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip, but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms （计算程序）to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces, “ said Justin Payne, the devices product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens （镜头）.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet."This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced, " Payne said. Going forward, were likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets （小装置）.1. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A.

The advance in technology.B. The popularity of the Internet.C. The reduction in the price of lens.D. The rise of the smartphone industry.BGrandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself, M l would never sit back i n a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic （家庭的）service until, at 27, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children 7, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery （刺绣）pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils （油画）in old age because her hands had become too stiff （硬的）to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures：detailed and lively portrayals （描绘）of the country life she had known for so long, with awonderful sense of color and form. *1 think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it." she said.4.

Grandma Moses： Her Life and PicturesD. Grandma Moses and Other Older ArtistsCObviously, art always amuses children and they can easily engage in it. This only proves that introducing art education at an early age is a great way to let children express what they see in their environment. Art activities give your children pleasurable experiences.Art education helps children learn and improve communication sk川s. Apparently, there are children who find difficulty in communicating in words. In this sense» expressing their feelings through art is an excellent outlet. Art for kids offers a lot of important skills in life that will lead them to the right path. Simply watching television can teach them to read and count. Therefore, allowing your kids to paint can tell the thought in their mind.Every child should learn problem solving naturally and on his own. In fact, when children are making something like drawing or painting, it is one way of problem solving. It is because artgives more realistic models that are stable. Likewise, art education can also help in developing critical-thinking skills, music, dance and theater arts.Moreover, creating arts in groups is an ideal way of mastering skills and in the same way they also learn from their peers without pressure unlike the formal teaching lessons. That is why adult supervising children engaging in art should know that art is not all about expressing talent but it is a skill of creativity.Also, engaging in art education can help building confidence. It is because even if they do not make it the right way, yet they feel proud on their artistic creations. Since art is a good start to collaborate （合作）with others, children can easily learn the cultures from different parts of the world.8. Who is the text probably written for?A. Parents.B. Artists.C. Teachers.D. Scientists.9. According to Paragraph 2, kids learning painting.A. gives them pleasurable experiencesB. helps show the feelings in their heartC. offers them a different lifestyle successfullyD. makes them adapt to the competitive society10. Why does art help solve problems?A. It gives people more imagination.B. It makes peoples brains work better.C. It provides more materials to choose from.D. It helps people know more about realistic models.11. During the formal teaching lessons, children creating arts in groups may probably feel.A. creativeB. stressedC. proudD. curiousDWorking with a group of baboons （狒狒）in the Namibian desert, Dry Alicia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel （新奇的）food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The brave baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （认知的）tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dry Carters research.B. The results of Dry Carters research.C. The purpose of Dry Carters research.D. The importance of Dry Carters research.13. According to the research, baboons that are more likely to complete a new learningtask are those that.A. has more experienceB. can avoid possible risksC. like to work independentlyD. feel anxious about learning14. Dry Carters experiment shows some of the baboons.A. is intelligent but slow in learningB. is shy but active in social activitiesC. observes others but don't follow themD. performs new tasks but don't concentrate15. Dry Carters findings indicate our culture might be formed through.A. our storing informationB. our learning from each otherC. our understanding different peopleD. our traveling between social groups二、语法填空Mr. Johnson lived in the woods with his wife and children.
