2019高考英语二轮阅读理解金题编（一）及解析Section AA(2018吉林三调,D)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫)and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing.Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica(《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provedcorrect at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.1.People with start-up fatigue are most likely to.A.delay tasksB.work hardC.seek helpD.accept failure2.What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A.Writing essays in strict order.B.Building up physical strength.C.Leaving out the toughest ideas.D.Dealing with the hardest task first.3.On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A.Before starting a difficult task.B.When all the solutions fail.C.If the job is rather boring.D.After finding a way out.4.According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us.A.ignore mental problemsB.get some nice sleepC.gain complete reliefD.find the right solutionB(2017山东临沂三模)Sometimes the toughest thing about feelings is sharing them with others.Sharing your feelings helps you whether your feelings are wonderful or terrible.Sharing also helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.But how?You can’t tell your friends what’s inside your backpack if you don’t know what’s in there yourself.Feelings are the same way.Before you can share them with anyone,you have to figure out what feelings you have.Making a list of your feelings can help.You can do this in your mind or by writing them out or even by drawing pictures.Is something bothering you?Does it make you frustrated or terrified?Do you feel this emotion only once in a while or most of the time?The way a person feels inside is important.If you keep feelings locked inside,it can even make you feel sick!But if you talk with someone who cares for you,you will almost always start to feel better.It doesn’t mean your problems and worries magically disappear,but at least someone else knows what’s bothering you and can help you find solutions.Your mom and dad want to know if you have problems and what’s happening in your life.But what if a kid doesn’t want to talk with parents?Then find another adult you trust,like a relative or a teacher at school.Maybe this person can help you talk with your parents about your problem or concern.Once you know who you can talk with,you’ll want to pick a time and place to talk.You can talk publicly in your family.But some kids are more private than others and they will feel shy about sharing their feelings.Then find a quiet place or write it down on a piece of paper.A kid doesn’t have to share every feeling he or she has.5.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The importance of feelings.B.How to figure out your feelings.C.How to share your feelings.D.The people sharing your feelings.6.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.Kids can’t tell their friends about their backpacks.B.Kids should know about themselves first before sharing.C.Kids need to find out what others think of them first.D.Kids’ feelings are the same in a way.7.What might happen after sharing your feelings with others?A.You’ll recover from your illness.B.You will feel relieved.C.Your worries will magically disappear.D.You’ll like more private talks.8.Where is this passage probably taken from?A.A science fiction.B.A parents’ brochure.C.A children’s magazine.D.A notice board.Section B(2018安徽江南十校3月联考,B)My friend Jennifer was going to be at my school!I was convinced that we would be best friends. She introduced me to her friend Amy and we had lots of fun together. But things started to change. Jennifer wanted to be the “leader”of our little group. She was controlling, and I couldn’t make new friends. If I made new friends, she would decide that I was“mad at her”. Pretty soon being Jennifer’s friend was a struggle.I always waited for Jennifer and Amy after class, but sometimes when they left, they’d walk right past me as if they couldn’t even see me.We often gossiped about people, and I soon realized that nobody was good enough for Jennifer. She had a list of bad things about everybody, even Amy, and about me, I guessed. I had changed—I became moody, depressed, and lonely. I spent days trying not to cry. I felt so left out.Finally, something snapped. I was sick of having to battle for friendship. I stopped sitting with Jennifer at lunch and waiting for her after class. Jennifer quickly announced I was “mad at her”. I said, “I’m not mad. I just want to make more friends.”But to Jennifer, it was all or nothing, and she was convinced I was mad at her. Our friendship fell to pieces.It was tough at first, but I found many girls whom Jennifer had classified as “moody”or “mean”to be the sweetest, friendliest people in the world.Now, I have tons of friends. They support me when I am sad, and I support them. We have fun together and I love them all. It amazes me how easy our friendship is. There is no struggling to be on top—we are all equal. It doesn’t matter to me if two of them walk away or buy friendship necklaces together. It doesn’t hurt my feelings or make me feel alone.I lost a friend, but I am a happier person now.1.The writer thought Jennifer.A.far too outstanding to matchB.rather annoying and dullC.too self-centeredD.the right one to make friends with2.What does the underlined part “something snapped”in Paragraph 4 mean?A.The writer and Jennifer hated each other.B.The writer and Jennifer broke up.C.Jennifer treated the writer worse.D.The writer felt mad about losing Jennifer.3.The writer decided to break up with Jennifer because.A.Jennifer spoke ill of her behind her backB.she had made other friendsC.Jennifer had hurt her feelingsD.other girls were sweeter and friendlier than Jennifer4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The writer now regrets losing her friend Jennifer.B.The writer still gets upset when left out occasionally.C.The writer’s new friends are all moody and mean.D.The writer enjoys more than just one friendship.Section CAStained glass (彩色玻璃) artists create different designs by making cuts on the glass to “score”it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved (弯曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.As an artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off at once. The best way to do an inside cut is slice off smaller curves piece by piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way to do it, but it’s the only way to do it.”How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to transforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out.Why not approach your goals and dreams like the stained glass artist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cuts. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it change shapes.Of course, changing isn’t easy—no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece instead of a bunch of broken pieces.1.Why is an inside cut believed to be the most difficult?A.It needs a one-and-only design.B.It calls for nothing but inspiration.C.The edges of the curve break easily.D.The glass inside the curve is easily broken.2.What mistakes are easily made according to Paragraph 3?A.Being too eager to make improvements.B.Being too worried about the final outcome.C.Trying to make a complete change all at once.D.Developing to focus on progress instead of achievements.3.What does the author suggest by saying “slicing a shallow curve”?A.Moving forward with a clear aim.B.Starting slow and improving little by little.C.Developing a new habit with great determination.D.Handling something major first and ignore the minor part.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of stained glass.B.To introduce the skill of an inside cut.C.To appreciate designs of stained glass artists.D.To share his opinions on how to make a change.B(2017湖北武汉4月调研)Crying is the rawest sign of human emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at our worst. By we, I mean all of us. Men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it’s reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. A Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry primarily over the same things—deaths, break-ups and homesickness, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit—I’m a bit of a crier. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched(蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying:A Biopsychosocial Approach that there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my dog’s death, I remember thinking, “I’ve got to stop this crying.”It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I’ve since realized that tears are for everybody;they’re not gender-specific. They show we have sympathy, and allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.5.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A.Crying is a raw human emotion.B.Crying is an emotion beyond control.C.Crying is an emotion showing sadness.D.Crying is an emotion showing happiness.6.What’s the difference between men and women in crying according to the Dutch research?A.They cry over different matters.B.They cry at different times of life.C.Women cry more often over deaths.D.Men are more likely to have tears of joy.7.What did the author think of his crying over his dog’s death?A.A sign of strength.B.A sign of weakness.C.Behavior of being womanish.D.A way of reducing emotional stress.8.What’s the best title for the text?A.Men, never cry like womenB.Men, it’s OK to cry sometimesC.Crying solves psychological problemsD.Crying explains differences between men and womenSection D(2018内蒙古呼和浩特第一次质量调研,C)Why do you go to the library?For books, yes—but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library you can do just that—even though there’s not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow”people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the “books”. For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you canfind in a book. (If you attend, make sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.) Many of the stories have to do with depressing topics. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PTSD(创伤后应激障碍), a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgement about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered”.The Human Library Organization came into being in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel, his brother, and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been Human Library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. Check out the organization’s Facebook page to see when the Human Library might be arriving near you.1.What shall we do before going to the Human Library?A.Bring a book.B.Get a library card.C.Get prepared to be a good listener.D.Make an appointment.2.What does the underlined word “snap”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.True.B.Obvious.C.Wrong.D.Quick.3.What is the best title of the text?A.A Library in DenmarkB.The Human Library OrganizationC.The Human Library Is Not FarD.“Borrow”People Instead of Books答案与解析一A[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

It's Venus ，our closest neighbor and the second planet from the sun.Venus is so bright that you can see it both at night and in the early morning. This caused some conftision for ancient Egyptian ( 埃及旳） and Greek ( 希腊旳 )star observers. Because they saw Venus at two different times, they thought it was twodifferent planets.What makes Venus so bright? Huge clouds, 20 miles thick, completely surround it and reflect 75% of the light from the sun that strike them.For a long time, these clouds caused Venus to be a great mystery ( 谜） to the world's astronomers. If, like other clouds, the ones on Venus were made up of water vapors( 水汽）， could there not be life hiding beneath them on the planet? Were there“Venusians ( 金星人 ) ” waiting to communicate with us on Earth?It was an exciting thought, but on that the Mariner recently landed to rest. TheMariner thoroughly examined Venus and its atmosphere, only to find that the cloudcover was made mostly of deadly carbon dioxide (二氧化碳）pressure was 15 to 22 times greater than on Earth, which further of life on Venus.And what did the Mariner find under the clouds? A world of great gas. The atmospheric disproved the theorymountains and smoothareas, dry as a bone. The temperature is about 900 °F. That's hot. Althoughthe greatest mystery has been solved, there are still others waiting forus on Venus. Why does Venus rotate ( 自转） so slowly? What is the inside of Venuslike? And most important of all, why is there no water on Venus? If, it was formed about the same time as our planet, it should have water. These questions and others may some day be answered. Until then, to be the brightest mystery in the sky.60.

D.Bugs Bunny will be protected in the coming films.DBad teeth can be painful — and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections ( 感染）of the gums ( 牙龈） and the teeth can cause bacteria ( 细菌） to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects ofother diseases. And adults arenot the only ones at risk.For example, in 2007, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a toothinfection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care ( 牙齿保健） he needed. He was twelve years old.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.But dentists say a baby's gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle.Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give thechild water.When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and touse them very gently.The use of fluoride ( 氟化物） to protect teeth is commonin For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride many parts of the world.mixes withenamel ( 法琅质 ) ， the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.68.Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage?A.

The writer u ses the boy's death as an example to show that _______?A. not only adults but the young may suffer from teeth problemB. babies with bad teeth can easily dieC. the doctors should be responsible for the caseD. the boy was not fed with his breast milkEFor my grandmother's 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Korea's public high schools are from America's. Korean highschools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed ( 男女同校旳） unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1 ”（ 10th) ， "go 2 ” (1 lth) and ‘‘ go 3” (12th). ‘‘ Go，，is the first syllable of the word “go -deung -hakkyo", which, simply translated, is “high school ”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you don't have to take anentrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because ofthe many choices of schools.Another diffe rence I couldn't help but notice was the students' appearance. Withvery few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag ( 标牌 )with the student's name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girl's skirts can't be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye ( 染)your hair or wear accessories ( 装饰品 )except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in aclassroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population ofthe town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. Thereare no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their gr ades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot ofstudying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school onSaturdays. Although it's only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans whenI say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Korea's public high schools are clearly different from America's. I had imaginedthem to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how differentthey are.72. How many main differences are mentioned between Korea's public high school and America's?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.73. It seems that t he writer _______ .A. is familiar with the education system of high schools in KoreaB. is fond of Korean students' appearanceC. prefers the high school life of America to the one of KoreaD. feels it common to have lessons on weekends74.What does the underlined word "setup" in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Arrangement.B. Size.C. Number.D. Outline.75.According to the rules, the students of Korea can _______ .A. go to different high schools without examsB. wear any clothes except uniforms at schoolC. attend different classes as they likeD. have different hair styles参照答案56— 60 CBCDB 61 — 65 DADCB 66 —70 DCACB 71 — 75 ABCAD一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一。

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe duringthe 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电旳广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了.而进入二十世纪七十年代后，人们又逐渐认识到了风能旳优势.5．From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered答案：C.细节理解题.由第一段最后两句话可知风车首先是在古代伊朗被使用，故排除A 项；公元前七世纪到现在应是不足2800年，故排除B项；由第二段当中旳第二、三句话可以排除D项，同时也能知道C项是正确旳.6．What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th centuryA. Sailing a boat.B. Producing electricity.C. Grinding wheat into flour.D. Pumping water from underground.答案：B.细节理解题.由文章第二段中旳第二句话可知“在十九世纪末期人们发现了电以后，住在偏远地区旳人们开始用风车发电”.7．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.A. wind power is cleanerB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs答案：A.主旨大意题.由文章最后一段可知.8．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that followsA. The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.答案：D.推理判断题.文章最后一句话“如今，出现了一个全球化旳运动，要通过风能旳利用来提供越来越多旳电力”，表明作者会就这个话题继续展开.C(·北京卷，C)Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device(设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to students assume that I am antitechnology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between course material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I realize that with deepconversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up.本文是一篇议论文.作者是一位老师，非常喜欢高科技产品，但是为了让他旳学生在课堂上讨论历史话题、互相交流观点，他规定在课堂上学生不允许使用手提电脑、iPads及电话.刚开始学生不能理解，但是后来在对学生旳学习评估中，学生对这一方法还是非常满意旳.9．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________.A. the course materialB. others' misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author's class regulations答案：D.细节理解题.由第二段旳“When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them wer e not happy .”可知D项正确.10．The underlined word “engage ”in probably means ________.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject答案： A.词义猜测题.根据第四段旳“I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.”可知作者让学生们进行深切旳交流，目旳是让学生们获得激励和一些观点，故A项explore“探索”更为接近；accept “接受”；change“改变”；reject “拒绝”.11．According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have indepth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students' concentration on course evaluation答案： A.推理判断题.由第四段旳“Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas .”可知在教室内使用高科技产品使学生们对于外界信息过于依赖，不能独立思考.12．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonv1.0 可编辑可修改D. values technologyfree dialogues in his class答案： D.推理判断题.由最后一段旳最后一句话可知作者对自己旳不使用高科技产品让学生进行对话旳方法是满意旳.D(·陕西卷，A)这是一则关于“PALACE THEATRE & OPERA HOUSE”旳广告.介绍“Live Card”与“Get it together团购”旳好处以及预定方式.13．If you want to join Live Card to save money on tickets, you can call________.A．0844 847 2484 B．0800 587 5007C．0844 499 6699 D．0161 245 6609答案：C.细节理解题.根据Live Card一栏最后一句Call 0844 499 6699 to join Live Card today 可知C项正确.14．How can you pay for a ticket when you book by postA．By visiting the website of a post office.B．By going to your local bank in person.C．By enclosing your Live Card in an envelope.D．By providing your credit card information.答案：D.细节理解题.细读By post一栏可以排除A、B、C三项，D项“提供个人信用卡信息”与该栏中“enclosing (附寄)．..your credit details”相对应.15．What benefit can group bookers enjoy according to the textA．Delayed payment for tickets. B．Invitations to opening nights.C．Reduced booking fees by phone. D．Generous discounts on tickets.答案：A.推理判断题.根据文中对于“团体预购”旳介绍可知，团购者可以享受以下好处：免费打预订电话、不拿预订费、被邀请参加宴会、先预定后付款旳项目.所以A项正确.E(·江西卷，D) Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在旳) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses arebyproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索旳原因.人类旳基因构成决定了人类探索其他领域包括太空旳能力.人类探索太空可能暂时没有多大用处，但是在将来这可能会帮助人类生存下去.16．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1A．To express his doubts. B．To compare different ideas.C．To introduce points for discussion. D．To describe the conditions on Earth.答案：C.推理判断题.作者在第一段提出问题目旳是引出下面要讨论旳话题.17．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2A．Humans are natureborn to do so.B．Humans have the tendency to fight.C．Humans may find new sources of food.D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place.答案：A.细节理解题.根据第二段旳第一句可知人类探索太空旳原因是其基因旳构成.18．The underlined word “spinoffs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A．survival chances B．potential resourcesC．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions答案：C.词义猜测题.后面所说旳“improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weathe r forecasting and in communications systems”可知此处旳划线短语意为“益处，好处”.19．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planetsA．Our genetic makeup. B．Resources on the earth.C．The adaptive ability of humans. D．Byproducts in space exploration.答案：C.细节理解题.根据最后一段旳第一句话可知，人类旳适应能力会让人类在其他星球生存下去.20．Which of the statements can best sum up the passageA．Space exploration has created many wonders.B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.答案：D.主旨大意题.A、B两项可以容易地排除.全文主要讲旳是太空探索对帮助人类生存旳益处，而不是对科技旳益处.。

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选(20)及解析

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（20）及解析ANearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people . I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.41.

Popular entertainersBTo what degree can a computer achieve intelligence？The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet. If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers.A question about Smarter Child’s age returns, “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes,and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online.

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解金题编（五）及解析Section AA(2018内蒙古包头一模,C)Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder”as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral”and “Notting Hill’’. Richard’s idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money”and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised ￡74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions.Now you know why you may find some people wearing red noses and doing silly things in the UK on Red Nose Day! It is all for a good cause!1.The purpose of Comic Relief is .A.to celebrate Red Nose DayB.to help those in need in Africa and BritainC.to warn people against some diseasesD.to raise money for Mr. Curtis’s films2.Red Nose Day got its name mainly from its .A.creatorB.birthplaceC.aid receiversD.products for sale3.Which of the following is TRUE about Red Nose Day?A.It is celebrated in the spring every other year.B.People celebrate this day to bring happiness to others.C.Richard Curtis started Red Nose Day.D.A lot of people raise money by growing a beard for a week.4.Paragraph 4 mainly shows that in Britain RND.A.is considered an official holidaysts for a long timeC.is popular with peopleD.is well designed for TVB(2017四川遂宁三模)French writer Frantz Fanon once said:“To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.”Since the world changes every day, so does our language.More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary, and in one way or another they are all reflections of today’s changing world.After a year that was politically unstable, it’s not hard to understand the fact that people’s political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is “clicktivism”, a compound of “click”and “activism”. It refers to “armchair activists”—people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize”is a verb for “other”that means to alienate (使疏远) people who are different from ourselves—whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality.“We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now startingto see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary,”Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries’ head of content development, told The Guardian.Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration”—a compound of “fit”and “inspiration”—refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.The phrase “climate refugee”—someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change—reflects people’s concern for the environment.According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,”he said.But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Stevenson’s suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.5.What’s the purpose of the quotation from the French writer Frantz Fanon?A.To serve as the topic of the passage.B.To present one of the major views of the society.C.To show the fact that language mirrors the culture in a way.D.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.6.What does the underlined word “coin”in the second-to-last paragraph probably mean?e.B.Record.C.Create.D.Change.7.How is the article mainly developed?A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following a timeline.D.By presenting research findings.8.According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should.A.be easy to rememberB.have unique and expressive meaningsC.have the attractive soundD.be meaningful and sound catchySection BA(2018四川绵阳高三三诊, C)High levels of chocolate consumption might be associated with a one third reduction in the risk of developing heart disease, suggests a study published online in the British Medical Journal. The findings confirm the results of existing studies that generally agree on a potential beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health. However, the authors stress that further studies are needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be explained by some other unmeasured factors.The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030, nearly 236 million people will die from heart disease. However, lifestyle and diet are key factors in preventing heart disease, says the paper. A number of recent studies have shown that eating chocolate has a positive influence on human health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This includes reducing blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity.However, the evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart still remains unclear. So, Dr Oscar Franco and colleagues from the University of Cambridge carried out a large scale of review of the existing evidence to evaluate the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular(心血管)events like heart attack and strokes.They analyzed the results of seven studies, involving over 100,000 participants with and without existing heart disease. For each study, they compared the group with the highest chocolate consumption against the group with the lowest consumption.Five studies reported a beneficial link between higher levels of chocolate consumption and the risk of cardiovascular events. They found that the “highest levels of chocolate consumption were associated with a 37% reduction incardiovascular disease and a 29% reduction in strokes compared with the lowest levels”. No significant reduction was found in relation to heart failure.The authors say the findings need to be interpreted with caution, in particular because commercially available chocolate is very calorific(around 500 calories for every 100 grams)and eating too much of it could lead to weight gain, risk of diabetes and heart disease.However, they conclude that given the health benefits of eating chocolate, initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be explored.1.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A.There used to be studies about the beneficial link between chocolate consumption and hearthealth.lions of people will die from heart disease according to the WHO.C.There are still other factors that may reduce the risk of heart disease.D.There is clear evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart.2.What are the possible causes of heart disease?A.Eating chocolate.B.Unhealthy diet.C.Exercising regularly.D.Drinking coffee.3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the findings?A.Cautious.B.Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Negative.4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.We should eat less chocolate.B.Chocolate benefits our health.C.We should consider the fat and sugar problem.D.Eating chocolate will lead to fat gain naturally.B(2017广西五市联考)When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the waythey greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say, “Ni Hao!”“Ni Hao”means “hello”in Mandarin.First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are firefighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York’s largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.Lieutenant Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department’s Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communicates to assist people regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as “What building?What address?What apartment?”And the most important question, “Is there anybody left in the building and where?”5.Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?A.Persons leading the emergency rescue.B.Rescuers first reaching the disaster.C.People first learning the disaster.D.People first finding the disaster.6.Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?A.To find a better job in the Chinese community.B.To learn about Chinese cultures much better.C.To show respect for the Chinese immigrants.D.To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.7.What do first responders concern most?A.The language to communicate.B.The place where the fire occurs.C.The distance the fire covered.D.The people trapped in the fire.8.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Importance of Language Used in Emergency RescueB.Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency WorkersC.New York’s Emergency Crew Learning Mandarinnguage Problem Disturbing First Responders’ WorkSection C(2018内蒙古呼伦贝尔一模,C)Speed walking has now become part of my daily routine for six years. I am always keen to do it regularly without a break. Even though I am neither a physician nor a specialist in medical science, I am fully aware that exercise, especially speed walking, helps maintain health and lowers the chance of falling ill.I urge everybody to speed walk on a daily basis, with one day off a week, or at least three times a week. I managed to burn around 17 kg of fat after taking up speed walking. This should also be accompanied with a change in diet. We need to reduce how much we eat and avoid junk food, sweets and carbonated drinks. Reducing the amount of food we eat in the evening by around 80 percent and increasing how much water we drink is also a good practice. Overeating should also be avoided.I usually walk at a speed of 1 km per 8.5 minutes. It will initially make you tired. However, over time it will become a habit and an addiction.This type of exercise will help you mentally, will also help you sleep and give you an appetite. It will make you physically fit and help burn fat and calories. Speed walking makes you healthy and everyone can find time to walk. The problem is that some people do not plan their days and do not, therefore, find time. We can gain health and social benefits from speed walking. It will help change our lifestyles, fight diabetes(糖尿病), and other illnesses.Arguments such as “I am too old and obese to walk”do not hold water. People of any age who speed walk will see the benefits within a couple of months. Walking outdoors is ideal and it is best done in the company of friends.1.Which sentence is true according to the passage?A.Speed walking helps patients recover.B.The author thinks everybody must speed walk every day.C.The author suggests reducing the amount of food we eat by around 80 percent.D.The author walks at a speed of more than 100 meters per minute.2.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that.A.speed walking possibly leads to an eating disorderB.many people are too busy to have a speed walk every dayC.more calories and fat will result in some serious illnessesD.speed walking can effectively cure kinds of diseases3.What does the underlined part “hold water”mean?A.Make sense.B.Work out.C.Have a drink.D.Build up.4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Tips on How to Speed Walk.B.Great Benefits of Speed Walking.C.The History of Speed Walking.D.My Success in Reducing Weight.Section D(2018四川乐山高三二调,B)In 2011, British wildlife photographer David Slater traveled to Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. After following about 25 endangered black monkeys in the forest, Slater set up his camera. The monkeys went up to it, and were attracted by it immediately. Finally, they began playing with the camera and took photos of themselves. One monkey took many photos, some of which appeared with a July 2011 Daily Mail article about Slater playing with the monkeys. One of the photos became the cover of a book of Slater’s work, Wildlife Personalities, which was published in 2014 by Blurb, Inc., in San Francisco. Slater is considered as the copyright(版权)owner of the photos.In September 2015, however, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals(PETA)considered the monkey called Naruto as the copyright owner of the photos. Through his “friends”at PETA, Naruto was suing(控诉)the photographer and the publishing company Blurb for copyright:“The photos resulted from the purposeful actions of Naruto and were not helped by Slater, resulting in works of authorship...by Naruto.”“If a human had taken a photo with Slater’s camera, that person would own the copyright of the photo,”says Jeff Kerr of PETA.“Naruto should be treated no differently.”The lawyer for Slater and Blurb, Andrew Dhuey, required that the case be dismissed(驳回)in November 2015.Dhuey mentioned a 2004 case in which the court had to decide whether whales could sue the US Navy for the danger they’d received from machines used by the Navy. The court ruled that they could not.In January, the court ruled in favor of dismissing the case. PETA lawyer Jeff Kerr objected, “We believe it has been stated clearly in the Copyright Act. The Act allows courts to fill in decisions like this one.”1.What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?A.To tell a story to support the topic.B.To give the background information.C.To express the author’s opinion.D.To attract readers’ attention.2.Why did PETA challenge the copyright of the photos?A.The camera was not Slater’s.B.Slater did harm to Naruto.C.The photos were taken by Naruto.D.Slater just helped a little.3.What did Dhuey do to help Slater and Blurb?A.He made a public speech.B.He had a talk with PETA.C.He turned to the US Navy.D.He gave an example.4.How did the court rule on the copyright of the photos?A.Naruto couldn’t own it.B.Naruto and Slater should share it.C.Slater couldn’t use the photos anymore.D.Slater should pay some money to PETA.Section AA[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

2019高考英语二轮阅读理解金题编（四）及解析Section AA(2018四川成都龙泉中学高三二诊,C)The North and South Poles are remote and freezing places that receive lots of animal visitors but few human tourists.But 2007 marked the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aim to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which lasted until March 2009, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries conducted more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world.In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on the Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.“Only by studying the poles,”say IPY researchers, “can we find ways to protect them and ourselves.”Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, the Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently, the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.1.The goal of the International Polar Year is.A.to make it clear that the poles have much to do with a healthy earthB.to provide practical theory to further develop this distant areaC.to call on as many scientists as possible to do research on the polesD.to discover more mysteries unknown to man2.What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?A.The increasing number of animals.B.The development of the poles.C.The melting of the poles.D.The rising temperature.3.What unusual phenomenon worries the scientists?A.In summer the ice of the Arctic loses faster.B.The ice covering the Arctic decreases even in winter.C.The ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.D.The changes in the Arctic are more serious.B(2017山东烟台一模)In an effort to discourage people from using plastics,scientists have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging products.From water bottles made from seaweed to cutlery(餐具)made from rice and wheat,a number of inventions are set to change the way we eat while we are on the go,or having a relaxing picnic in the park.The idea of using seaweed to make eco-friendly(环保的)water bottles has been around for a few years.Recently,Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled.As soon as these bottles are empty, they will begin to break down,though they would be perfectly safe to eat.Ari Jonsson’s bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.The eatable water container is not the only product to add to our image of the future.Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons.After the success of his spoons.Mr Pessapaty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to his menu.His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic waste,which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world.It is a product that may take up to 500 years to break down,and recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with it.Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment,this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to buy.Even better is the fact that similar eatablecutlery can be made at home,possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends.Why not get experimenting and create your own recipes?4.Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?A.To make people’s life more convenient.B.To reduce the amount of plastic waste.C.To change the way we picnic outside.D.To show off their inventive talents.5.What makes Ari Jonsson’s water bottles eco-friendly?A.They can be made at home.B.They are cheap to produce and buy.C.They will hold their shape when they are filled.D.They will break down themselves when empty.6.What do Ari’s and Narayana’s inventions have in common?A.They are convenient to carry.B.They are safe to eat.C.They can be used for a short time.D.They are heavier than plastics.7.What can be inferred from this passage?A.Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular.B.Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near future.C.No recycling companies can break down plastic waste.D.It’s unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home.Section BA(2018甘肃西北师大附中三诊,C)A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant(对抗生素有抗药性的) infections. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago.To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.1.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?A.The need for eating diversely.B.The limited farm technology.C.The less effective antibiotics.D.The development of the economy.2.What does getting rid of poverty mean for most people?A.Making a lot of money.B.Having more meat to eat.C.Living in a better environment.D.Focusing more on health.3.From the passage, we can infer that using too many antibiotics in farmanimals .A.causes animals to get infected more easilyB.will lead to the failure of all the antibioticsC.makes antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to peopleD.has a negative effect on the growth of animals4.What’s the passage mainly about?A.A new way of raising farm animals.B.The abuse of antibiotics in farm animals.C.The disadvantages of using antibiotics.D.The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.B(2017山东莱芜二模)If you’re encouraged by the tiny house movement and think 160 square feet is just enough for your needs, you may want to contact the Academy of Construction and Design (ACAD) at IDEA Public Charter School in northeast Washington.Students in the program built a micro house with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping loft with space for a queen-size bed and a storage loft, all set on a trailer for mobility. The exterior of the house was part of a continuous living exhibit in 2015 and was moved to the IDEA campus so students could work with builders to complete the interior earlier this year.McMahon said the D.C. government’s approval to push companies to hire District residents was at odds with the school system not preparing students for careers in construction, exploring or electrical work. McMahon gathered industry and community leaders to establish ACAD in 2005 and he said 100 percent of the companies he contacted responded positively to the idea, including major firms such as JBG, Clark Construction, Hines Construction and Boston Properties.“When students make the connection between what they are learning and a potential career,their academics improve dramatically,”said Carol Randolph, chief operating officer of the D.C.Students Construction Trades Foundation. “Some of them who didn’t think college was an option now have a better chance because theirclasses have become relevant to a job.”“We teach them life skills and explain that even if you start as a laborer, there are opportunities to move up quickly,”he said. “We rewrite the story for them and explain that they can work for a few years,make good money,get promoted,and start their own business or go to school with less debts.”“Parents and school advisors can be the biggest obstacles because of the negative idea of construction as a blue-collar career,”Karriem said. “I get middle-school advisors on board to talk about the opportunities this education provides. These kids are learning lifelong skills that can help them in other fields, provide them with income and allow them to take care of their homes.”5.What is the purpose of the program of building a micro house?A.To satisfy different needs of people.B.To help acquire lifelong skills from the college.C.To make the college more attractive.D.To offer more job opportunities in colleges.6.What does the underlined part “at odds with”mean in the third paragraph?A.Inconsistent with.B.Familiar to.C.Harmonious with.D.Similar to.7.What can we infer from the words of Karriem?A.Students tend to choose the blue-collar career.B.Parents and school advisors are wrong.C.It’s hard to make the program popular.D.Life skills help improve scores greatly.8.Which of the following may be the title of the passage?A.A Micro House Program for StudentsB.Build a Micro House for Campus Students SoonC.Why Not Build More Tiny HousesD.Develop Lifelong Skills of StudentsSection C(2018河南高三4月毕业班高考适应性考试,D)When it comes to mental illness, many people often find it tough to get the help they need. This is especially true for young students to make the transition(过渡) to college life.“Sometimes, students don’t realize how hard it is to adjust to college,”said Laura Smith, associate dean of students at the University of Texas at Dallas. “You’re not the big fish in your classes anymore; you have all kinds of personal stress; you’re away from home. Dealing with these things is not easy.”Students who are going through these problems sometimes want to reach out. But if students don’t feel comfortable seeking help, many feel that it’s the responsibility of their university to help them.“I really wish that there was more importance placed on how counseling(咨询) centers help students,”said Comnie Trinh. “Counseling services are just as important as academics and sports.”Trinh, 27, graduated from Texas Woman’s University in 2015.During college, she hosted various workshops on how to handle mental health condition. Trinh used her own story to connect with students who might be facing similar problems. High academic pressures, cultural differences as an Asian American and stressful social situations stood out as some of the most common causes of Trinh’s anxiety.It was only after years of personal problems that she could admit that reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness.“If you feel you can’t connect with other people around you, you should address the issue without shame,”Trinh said. “You’ll find that there are a lot of people out there who sincerely want to help you.”1.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon.A.college lifeB.counseling servicesC.mental healthD.cultural differences2.What’s Trinh’s preferred solution to the problems mentioned?A.Making self-criticism.B.Handing the problems actively.C.Solving the problems on her own.D.Finding the causes of the problems.3.What does the underlined phrase “connect with”in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Get along with.B.Join together with.C.Be related to.D.Get through to.4.What can we learn from the text?A.Counseling services help do research.B.Adjusting to college life is a piece of cake.C.Hosting workshops improves students’ ability.D.Being brave to get help is not a sign of weakness.Section D(2018广东佛山高三教学质检二, D)Academic learning is usually in the spotlight at school, but teaching elementary-age students “soft”skills like self-control and how to get along with others might help to keep at-risk kids out of criminal trouble in the future.Once a program called Fast Track was started in the early 1990s for more than 7,600 children of 55 schools in America. They were identified by their teachers and parents to be at high risk of developing aggressive behavioral problems. The students were randomly divided into two groups; half took part in the intervention, which included a teacher-led curriculum, parent training groups, academic tutoring and lessons in self-control and social skills. The program, which lasted from first grade through 10th grade, reduced delinquency(少年犯罪), arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood.In another latest study, by looking at the data from nearly 900 students in previous findings, researchers found that about a third of the influence on future crime outcomes was due to the social and self-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills, or hard skills like learning of physics, which were taught as part of Fast Track, turned out to have less of an influence on crime and delinquency rates than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional(情绪的) intelligence.
