He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five，he gave ￡12，000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.As a result of his kindness，many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection （注射）in my neck each evening.” he told the newspaperman，thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain，asking him for the secret of his daily injection.21.

Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the street. Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations in many places broadcast.Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a pop star.There are other kinds of music that are popular among Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music. 24．________ kinds of music are mentioned in this passage．A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five25．When pop singers ________, they are regarded as pop stars．A．make much money B．make a CD or tapeC．become popular with their fans D．are wanted to sing on the radio26．From the passage we know that folk music is about ________．A．the common life of American people B．the life of singersC．the life of cowboys and their love stories D．the school life in America27．What would be the best title for this passage？A．Music in America B．Pop Music in AmericaC．History of Music D．Music is important to Americans第二节阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）There is an old Spanish saying which states, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week." How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? 36. We have to go for them now!·Tomorrow is not promised.Nobody likes to talk about death, but everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day or the hour. 37. Don't go to your tomb with unrealized dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.· 38.One of the biggest dream killers is fear. Many people could have achieved amazing things if only they weren't afraid. Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable, or good enough. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.·Take action to realize your dream.You can dream about writing a great play but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 39.·Possibilities are waiting on you.There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you. How do you get to them? Simple! Follow your dream. . 40 You'll never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen.A.

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校滑县第六高级中学高中英语限时练7阅读理解A“In real life, the daily struggles between parents and children are around these narrow problems of an extra hour, extra TV show, and so on” said Avi Sadeh, psychology professor at Tel Aviv University. “Too little sleep and more accidents,” he said.Sadeh and his colleagues found an extra hour of sleep can make a big difference. The children who slept longer, although they woke up more frequently during the night, scored higher on tests, Sadeh reported in the March/April issue of journal Child Development.“When the children slept longer, their sleep quality was somewhat weak, but in spite of this their performance for study improved because the extra sleep was more significant than the reduction in s leep quality. ” Sadeh said. “Some studies suggested that lack of sleep as a child affects development into adulthood and it’s more likely to develop their attention disorder when they grow older. ”In earlier studies, Sadeh’s team found that fourth grader s slept an average of 8. 2 hours and sixth graders slept an average of 7. 7 hours. “Previous research has shown children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night on a regular basis, said Carl Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda, andhigh-school-age children need somewhat less, he said, adding the resultsof insufficient sleep could be serious.“A tired child is an accident waiting to happen,” Hunt said. “And askids get older, toys get bigger and the risks higher. ”Hunt also saidtoo little sleep could result in learning and memory problems andlong-term effects on school performance.“This is an important extension of what we already know, ” Hunt saidof Sadeh’s research, adding sleep is as important as nutrition(营养)and exercise to good health.“To put it into reality,” Hunt said, “parents should make sure theyknow when their children actually are going to sleep and their rooms are conducive to sleeping instead of playing. ”1. What is Child Development?A A new storyB A popular book C. A periodical magazine D A TV programme2. How many persons are exactly mentioned in the text?A OneB TwoC ThreeD Four3. The underlined phrase “conducive to” (in the last sentence) means________.A helping to happenB influenced byC full ofD acceptable of4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. There are some daily struggles between parents and children because of having nothing in common with extra rest time.B. The children who sleep longer are weak in their study.C. Lack of sleep as a child has great effect on their development into adulthood.D. In general, children in elementary school need at least nine hours of sleep a night. CBABBFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to the fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brington and Sussex Medical School said: “O ur study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fea rful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and the brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is death with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”5. What is the finding of the study?A. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.B. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbe at.C. Fear has something to do with one’s health.D. One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.6. The study was carried out by analyzing _________.A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures.B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions.C. volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans.D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication.7. Which of the following is closet in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. Order.B. System.C. Machine.D. Treatment.8. This study may contribute to ________.A. treating anxiety and stress better.B. explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety.C. finding the key to the heart-brain communication.D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads.二、完形填空（1.5*20=30）I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company.

Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the pa tient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release published by the FDA —it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.“We’re entering a new frontier in medical in novation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability t o treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”24. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A. To compare different ways of curing leukemia.B. To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.C. To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.D. To show scientists’ efforts in search of a cure for cancer.25. How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work?A. By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.B. By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.C. By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.D. By using chemotherapy to improve the patient’s immune system.26. What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?A. It can save them many more trips to the hospital.B. It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.C. It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.D. It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.27. What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Worried.D. Casual.第二节(共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分)Everyone complains.Even if you argue that you are the happiest person in the world, you still complain sometimes.

高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***高二英语40分钟限时训练（10）阅读理解TUV ALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea．Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level．Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable．Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered．But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea．Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years．Experts say that it will have sunk another 20--50 cm by 2050．A century ago, St．Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year．Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times．While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is also caused by global warming．The average global temperature has increased by almost 0．5 centigrade degrees over the past century；scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years．Warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川）melt, adding more water to the ocean．The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise．The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years．The main cause of global warming is human pollution．Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2．This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer．Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes．The sea level could rise by one meter this century．Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live．1．The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain _______．A．they are the first places sinking into the seaB．they are both sinking into the mud where they standC．they will disappear in the future completelyD．their trouble is caused by global warming2．Put the following events in the right order．a．Glaciers begin to melt．b．People burn coal, oil and gas．c．The greenhouse effect is growing．d．The earth is getting warmer and warmer．e．The sea level is rising．f．More CO2 is produced．g．Many places are sinking into the sea．A．d, f, b, e, a, e, g B．b, f, c, d, e, a, g C．f, e, b, d, a, e, g D．b, f, c, d, a, e, g 3．What does "climate refugees" in the last paragraph mean?A．People who are forced away from their homeland by climate．B．Climate changes．C．Rare animals．D．Climate effect．4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Tuvalu's nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level．B．The average global temperature has risen by 1-3 centigrade degrees over the past 100 years．C．The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise．D．There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped．BImagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, who from an early age has been looking after cattle more than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boy ever had any education?Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us — our parents, brothers, sisters, friends — are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird's nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn't like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell you if you are good at it.We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can' t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.5．The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______.A．African children are very poor B．some children are unluckyC．education takes many ways D．schools are of great importance 6．One can find out what he is good at by .A．the encouragement of people around B．thinking of it when growing upC．the teachings of those he or she meets D．trying much practice7．How the writer looks at the role of school is that ___ .A．school is not so important as our living placesB．school enables us to understand the world in other waysC．school teaches us something useless at homeD．school cannot prepare us for our daily lives8．The passage tells us that _ .A．everyone gets education from the day he or she is bornB．different education trains different classes of peopleC．school is absolutely necessary if one wants to understand the worldD．Everyone will find out what he or she is good atCWe are living in fast times. Yesterday’s unforgettable culture experience is today’s forgotten film or book. For a few months, the media was full of reports about “Crouching Tiger, HiddenDragon”（《藏龙卧虎》）. Now the media has gone to the next big thing.But some things have a more lasting influence. “Crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon” was the first Chinese film to have won major Oscars. And its success meant that millions of people across the world saw a film in Chinese about a Chinese subject.This is a good example of what sociologists（社会学家）call “soft power.” Ha rd power is the ability to make others do what you want. Its weapons are guns and money and its aim is to control other countries.Soft power is the ability to make other people want to please you. The weapon of “soft power” is film, books, TV programs an d computer games. And the aim is to increase what advertisers call “mindshare”. That is, the amount of time people spend enjoying and thinking about what a culture or society has to offer.According to Professor Joseph Nye, who invented the idea, soft power is replacing hard power as a way of measuring economic strength. Historically, armies are used to protect economic interest. These days, business increasingly depends on getting foreigners to understand and buy into your culture, and the products and services it produces.Everyone knows about China’s economy. But how much soft power does China have? What role does China play in the cultural life of ordinary people thousands of miles away? 9．The film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is mentio ned _______.A．to introduce the idea of soft power B．to report the results of major OscarsC．to show the development of China’s economyD．to make known to the public the success of a Chinese film10．Which of the following has a lasting influence?A．Advanced techniques B．Culture experiences.C．Major Oscars. D．Economic interest.11．According to the writer, which of the following can be referred to as soft power?A．The media. B．Businesses. C．Sociologists. D．Armies and money. 12．What is the main subject discussed in the text?A．Culture is a product that can be advertised.B．Oscars has a major effect on a country’s economy.C．A country’s economy is measured by the hard power.D．Culture exchanges play an important role in a country’s economy.完形填空I don’t remember her name and would not recognize her if I were to pass her on the street.

高二英语40分钟限时训练（提高练）01 解析版一、阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses.I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right.Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.”1．The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________.A．wanted to know if they had the same problemB．didn’t believe his daughter had the problemC．had to take a regular medical examinationD．accepted that his daughter was not smart2．We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________.A．struggled and got better gradesB．didn’t work hard when he was youngC．was praised for overcoming dyslexiaD．was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier3．According to the passage, a dyslexic person________.A．is less intelligent B．always fails in schoolC．reads more slowly than normal people D．performs worse in left-brain activities4．What can we learn from the story?A．Clumsy birds have to start flying early.B．God shuts one door but opens another.C．Never judge a person by his appearance.D．No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B【分析】本文是记叙文。

born with SQ,most of us Don’t even realize that we have it.Fortunately,you Don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ.Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:Sit Quietly.The process of cultivating(培养) spiritual intelligence begins in solitude(独处) and silence.To tune into its whisper,you have to turn down the volume in your busy,noisy,complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all.Start small by creating islands of silence in your day.In the car,instead of reaching for the radio dial,use the time to think.At work,shut the door to your office between meetings,take a few deep breaths and let them out very,very slowly.Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.Step Outside.For many people,nature sets their spirit free.Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset.If You’re walking the dog,take the time to admire flowers in bloom.Follow the flight of a bird;watch clouds float overhead.Find An Activity You Enjoy.It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune into your spirit.Garden,walk or jog,arrange flowers,listen to music that touches your soul.Ask Questions Of Yourself.Ask open-ended questions,such as “What am I feeling?What are my choices?Where am I heading?”But Don’t expect an answer to arrive via(通过) some supernatural form of e-mail.“Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my questions,”says Reverend Joan Carter,a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito,California.“But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem from a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”Trust Your Spirit.While most of us rely on gut feelings(直觉) to realize danger,spiritual intelligence usually pushes us,not away from,but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.36.The passage is mainly about _________.A.what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our lifeB.what your SQ is and in what way it can beC.the relationship between your SQ and youD.advantages and disadvantages of SQ答案:B37.To enhance your SQ,you should first _________.A.bear loneliness and silenceB.give up the daily things in your lifeC.make your life simpler and less busyD.listen more to your whisper答案:C38.The underlined phrase “tune into your spirit”in the fifth paragraph probably means ______.A.get your spirit relaxedB.keep up your spiritC.listen to your spiritD.change your spirit39.The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that _______.A.there are no immediate answers to your questionsB.e-mails can’t help work out a problemC.the more questions you ask,the better answers you’ll getD.changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem答案:D40.From the passage,we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is ______.A.a peaceful mindB.deep thoughtC.spare time and hobbiesD.good spirits答案:ABWorking Women Should Travel AloneAs more women in the United States move up the professional ladder,more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone.Since this is new for many,some trips are certainly in order.If you are married,it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away.They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience.If you will be eating alone a good deal,choose good restaurants.In the end,they will be much better for your digestion.You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone.You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table.Finally,and most importantly,anticipate your travel needs as a business woman:this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed.Take a folding case inside your suitcase;it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes,as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip.And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate.Obviously,experien ce helps,but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning,so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!41.Who is the author’s intended reader?A.Working women who have no time for cooking.B.Husbands and children of working women.C.Working women who must travel on their own.D.Hotel personnel who

enough to carry all business documents.44.In this passage,what advice does the author have for married women?A.Stay home and take care of your family.B.Encourage your husband and kids to be happy and have fun while you are away.C.Help your family learn to prepare food for themselves.D.Have your whole family take cooking classes together.答案:B45.Where would this passage most likely appear?A.In magazine specifically for women.B.In a restaurant and hotel guide.C.In a news magazine.D.In a journal for top-ranking business men and women.答案:AⅤ.短文改错(本题共5小题，计5分)A dog found a bone but held it

The tumstile(十字转门)clicked and Josh hung on to his souvenir ticket stub (票根）like he had just won the lottery! We pushed our 46 to the upper-level seats of the “true” fans. Before we know it, the game was 47 way. During a time out, we dashed to 48 hot dog and Coke and rushed back so that we 49 miss a single part of the game. Things were going as expected until halftime. I started to talk to some friends 50 when there was a pull on my sleeve, my arm was pulled over by a 51 young Josh, and he began putting a multicolored, woven yarn bracelet(丝织手獨）around my wrist. It 52 really well, and he was really focused attentively as he carefully made a double square knot to keep it secure. On this special 53 I realized the significance of the moment. With a smile, I told him proudly how I knew this was a “friendship brardet” and said, “I guess this means we are 54 ” Without missing a beat, his big brown eyes looking me straight in the face, he exclaimed, “We’re 55 friends.

We have become so lazy that we don’t even go shopping. We just look for something on the Internet. We order and we get the object delivered at home. We don’t even have to go to the bank as we pay online and the money transfer(转账)is made by the bank.Going shopping was one of the favorite hobbies for women all over the world, but now they choose to do other things. The application of science to entertainment has made us lazy: TV, DVD, computers, MP3 players. Why do we go out when we have everything at home? Why do we spend time cooking when we have the sandwich-maker which gets us out of every trouble? Why do we bother washing and ironing when we have the dry-cleaning at the corner of the street and it does everything for us? Why do we do the house-cleaning when there are persons who earn a living from this?There is a solution for everything, but to have all these you need money, money earned by hard work. So far, technology hasn’t solved this problem. Comfort and stability are to be contained only with great efforts and many sleepless nights. To get the best products you have to work a lot, because high quality means a great deal of money.When you see how many things you can buy so that you make your existence easier, you don’t care you have to work ten hours a day or you don’t have a free weekend. You make all these efforts because you know you’ll later be rewarded. Therefore, in this aspect we haven’t become lazy; I could say that we are still quite hard-working.28．In the author’s eyes, the price of the advances in technology is ______.A．robbing us of too much moneyB．causing the decline of our healthC．making us lazier than everD．driving us more crazy about entertainment29．The main idea of the second paragraph is ______.A．going shopping was the favorite hobby for women all over the worldB．the application of science to entertainment has made people lazyC．new electric products have made us have more time for entertainmentD．new technologies are changing our lives from shopping to entertainment30．According to the passage, we can have all the following done by machines except ______.A．shopping B．playing music C．cooking D．house-cleaning31．The underlined phrase “this problem” in the 3rd paragra ph refers to ______.A．earning money through hard work B．working with great effortsC．working with sleepless nights D．having to promote qualityDIn Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure （结构）, they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitions use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’（对手）kites or cut their strings（线）.For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. their kites are made of nylon（尼龙）.Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!32. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B. Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.C. Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.D. Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.33. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A. It has two strings.B. It is simple in designC. It has a rainbow pattern.D. It is shaped like a diamond.34.According to Jonathan ,what do you need to have fun with kites?A. A large kite. B Any type of kite.C. A complex structure.D. A kite that impresses others.35.What is mainly described in the text?A . A kite factory B. Kite-flying lessons.C .Special competitions.D .The kite-making Process.七选五Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of success, 16With that in mind, here are some suggestions that you will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:173If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "something wonderful is going to happen today." Guess what? You're probably right.Take time to plan and prioritize(优先处理)The most common source of stress is the thought that you've got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.Eat high quality food slowly.18 Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Focus on it, taste it, and enjoy it.Let go of your results.The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action, there's usually nothing more you can do.19End each day with gratitude.Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 20A. Start each day with expectations.B. Give a gift to everyone you meet.C. Thinking about that thing makes your head hurt.D. It’s impossible to make other happy if you are not happy.E. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.F.

高二英语短卷训练限时练第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题）；每小题2分，满分30分）AThere was once a group of monks(和尚) who went to Australia to spread Buddhism. Everything had to be started from the beginning. After buying a plot of land, they bought bricks, construction materials and with their own hands, they started to build a temple.A young monk took charge of building the brick wall. He took great care in laying the bricks, ensuring that they were leveled. His progress was slow, due to the great care in his work, but he wasn’t bothered,. Finally, when he completed the wall, something caught his eye and made him angry. Despite the great care he took in his work, he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted(倾斜). Because of that, whenever visitors came to the temple, the young monk would show them around to all places, except the brick wall that he had built.One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall, the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall. Unwillingly, the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.“Oh, this is such a beautiful brick wall,” one of the elderly monks said. “Sir, are you sure? Haven’t you seen the two ugly bricks that are slante d in the middle of the wall?” the young monk asked in surprise. “Yes, I have.” replied the elderly monk. “But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that made this a beautiful wall!”You see, most of the time, we focus on things that went wrong or didn’t live to our expectations. However, we’ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98 bricks.21. What lesson can we learn from the story?A. Grasp all, lose all.B. It is no use crying over spilt milk.C. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.D. No sweat, no sweet.22. Which of the following words can best describe the young monk when he built the brick wall?A. Careful and patient.B. Lazy and careless.C. Hard-working but impatient.D. Upset and worried.23. What did the elderly monk think of the wall built by the young monk?A. He thought it was not firm.B. He thought highly of it.C. He thought it was ugly.D. He thought it was slanted.BThe well-known adventurer and explorer Steve Fossett was famous for extraordinary efforts in setting world records in flying, ballooning and sailing. He set or broke over 100 records in five different sports. Many of these records still hold.Steve Fossett was born in 1944 in Jackson, Tennessee. At twelve, he climbed his first mountain, and he kept going by choosing bigger and bigger goals. During his life, Fossett climbed the highest mountain on every continent except Mount Everest.Also in 1985, he became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel. In 1991 Fossett decided to pursue the highest goals in ballooning and sailing. Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a thunderstorm off the coast of Australia. Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. He traveled over 33,000 kilometers for over 14 days. On this fight, Fosstt set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour.Many of Steve Fossett’s most extraordinary adventures were as a pilot. In 2005, he became the first person to fly a plane alone around the world without stopping for fuel. In 2006, Fossett and another pilot set an altitude record for flying a glider(滑翔机), a plane with no engine. They flew the glider into the Earth’s stratosphere(平流层) at a height of over 15,000 meters.Steve Fossett once said that he did not like risks. He knew this might sound strange considering his activities. But he said what he tried to do was reduce risk with careful planning, technological development and the help of the best scientists and other experts.Yet, no amount of planning can prevent the possibility of risk in life. In September of 2007, during a short-distance flight, his plane disappeared. At last, in February of 2008, a judge in Chicago declared Steve Fossett legally dead. He was sixty-three years old.24. Which shows the correct order of the following events?a. Steve Fossett climbed his first mountain.b. Steve Fossett made the hot-air balloon trip around the world successfully.c. Steve Fossett became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel.d. Steve Fossett became the first person to fly a plane around the world alone without stopping forfuel.A. a, b, c, dB. a, c, b, dC. b, c, a, dD. b, d, a, c25. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Risks can be avoided with careful planning.B. One cannot avoid risks even with careful planning.C. Nobody can be successful without taking a few risks.D. Planning is very important when one makes explorations.26. Which word can best describe Steve Fossett?A. UnfortunateB. ProudC. HonestD. Brave27. What’s the best title for the pas sage?A. Steve Fossett---a Great World Recorder HolderB. World records set by Steve FossettC. 63-year-old Steve Fossett Passed AwayD. a famous adventurer---Steve FossettCTired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.28. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage29. By what can online shoppers avoid fraud?A. Using only trusted websites.B. Choosing big websites.C. Collecting shopping evidence.D. Seeking advice from the police.30. The author agrees with the fact that ______.A. customers are never satisfied with productsB. online shopping is a safe way to make purchasesC. online shopping has nothing to do with global warmingD. delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy31. What is the author’s attitude towards online shopping?A. Very popular.B. A wise choice.C. Not trouble free.D. A waste of time.DIt’s that time of year when people need to lock their cars. It’s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it’s because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to fill it with zucchini（西葫芦）.My sister, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they had begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. That’s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began asking everyone in the neighborho od, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “Feel free to take whatever you want,” Sharon told her. Later that day, Sharon found that her garden had indeed been harvested. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food d idn’t go to waste.A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding a hot loaf of bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I wanted to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and h oped you wouldn’t mind.”Sharon couldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharon was confused. They hadn’t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. Sharon felt curious and decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled. “Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating.”The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. She gulped（哽住）a few times, and then, smiling, held out the bread, part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood. “I brought youa nice loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”32. Why does the author warn people in the neighborhood to lock their cars?A. They might be stolen by thieves at night.B. They might be moved away by the police.C. Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw cucumbers into them.33. How did Sharon’s friends react to the invitation to take her tomatoes?A. They did not accept her kind offer.B. They were all delighted to have the tomatoes.C. They said they would go when they were free.D. They began to tell everyone they knew about it.34. What did the neighbor do in Sha ron’s garden?A. She only harvested some tomatoes.B. She took some cucumbers mistakenly.C. She took something with Sharon’s help.D. She harvested a few zucchini by accident.35. We can infer that the neighbor’s bread would taste ________.A. soft and sweetB. hard and sourC. funny and bitterD. fragrant and delicious第二节（共5小题；每小题2分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
