高三英语阅读理解题训练及答案详解第一篇：Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might bedifficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces ofplastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became thelatest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effec t on ocean environment.51.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.C. By telling a story.D. By giving a parison.52.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.53.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.54.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.55.The purpose of writing this passage isto____________.A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacificB. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacificC. give advice on how to recycle waste in the oceanD. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch第二篇：Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."60. The text is mainly about .A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash61. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warnings were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.62. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph4 most probably means .A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated63. What can we learn from the passage?A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.第一篇：51.D。

高三英语阅读理解解题训练及答案
高三英语阅读理解解题训练及答案第一篇：It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own ，and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.1.

The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force, said a spokesman.The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirateactivity in the area”.“Once they start attacking that far out, you're not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia.” said an officer, Roger Middleton. “Once you're that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you're looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia to South Africa.”“This is the farthest robb ing to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India.” said another officer.The three ships-the MV Prantalay 11,12，and 14-had 77 members on board in total. All of them are Thai, the spokesman said. Before the Sunday robbing, pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors.Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships, the success rate(率) has gone down, though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.1. The pirate attack reported in the texthappened________.A. far out in the Indian OceanB. in the normal patrol areaC. near the Somali coastD. in the south of Africa2. According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?A. More goods on board are lost.B. Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.C.

The patrols are of little effect.B. The patrols are more difficult.C. More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.D. The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.4. How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?A. 228.B. 77.C. 383.D. 305.第一篇：本篇文章为记叙文。

高三英语限时训练一总分65分第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共7个小题：每小题2.5分，满分17.5分）AWhat do the random, scribbled(潦草的)drawings crowding the margins(页边空白)of most high school students’ papers mean? When a student is caught doodling(乱画)in class, he will probably be criticized for daydreaming. But doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering, according to a study published in the scientific journal Applied Cognitive Psychology.In an experiment conducted b y the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge,40 subjects were asked to listen to a two-minute tape giving several names of people and places. Half of the participants were asked to shade in shapes on a piece of paper at the same time, without paying attention to neatness, while the rest were given no such instructions. After the tape had finished, all participants in the study were asked to recall the names of people and places. The doodlers recalled on average 7.5 names of people and places, compared to only 5.8 by the non-doodlers.“If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull telephone conversation, they may start to daydream.” said study researcher, Professor Jackie Andrade, of the School of Psychology, U niversity of Plymouth. “Daydreaming distracts them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task, like doodling, may be enough tostop daydreaming without affecting performance on the main task.”“In psychology, tests of memory or attention will often use a second task to selectively block a particular mental process. If that process is important for the main task, then performance will be weakened. But my research suggests that in everyday life doodling may be something we do because it helps to keep us on track with a boring task, rather than being an unnecessary distraction(分心)that we should try to resist doing.” said Andrade.Dan Ware, a social study teacher, used to consider doodling a distraction from learning, but after teaching kids with all personality types he learned scribbling away during lectures helps certain students remember more information. “In my first few years of teaching, I thought, ‘Well, this kid isn’t paying attention. He’s daydreaming.’ But I had some really powerful experiences with students and came to understand in many cases that was their way of focusing, and those students were probably paying more attention than other students.” Ware said.1. What do we know about the participants involved in the experiment?A. Some were asked to note down the information neatly.B. Some were asked to memorize the names they would hear.C. Some were instructed to listen to the tape with full attention.D. Some were instructed to make random drawings on paper.2. Which of the following will both Jackie Andrade and Dan Ware agree with?A. Doodling helps some people focus.B. Doodling makes a dull task interesting.C. Students who doodle perform poorly.D. Students who doodle lack concentration.3. What is the best title of the text?A. Daydreaming Can Sharpen Study SkillsB. Doodling Can Help Memory RecallC. A Wandering Mind Improves ProductivityD. Distractions Harm Academic PerformanceBShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much. Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need faith that they are doing ＂the right thing＂. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: ＂You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I kn ow it’s not true.＂It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination since shyness goes hand in hand with lack ofself-respect. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us has his or her own characteristics. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our chances for a rich and successful life.4. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________. .A. the cause of shynessB. the effect of shyness on peopleC. the feelings of shy peopleD. the questions in the minds of shy people5. According to the writer, self-awareness is ____________.A. harmful to peopleB. a weak point of peopleC. the cause of unhappinessD. a good characteristic6. What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?A. They are pleased by it. B They feel it is not true.C. They are very sensitive to it.D. They feel they are worthy of it.7. We can learn from the passage that shyness ____________.A. blocks our chances for a successful lifeB. helps us to live up to our full developmentC. enables us to understand ourselves betterD. has nothing to do with lack of self-respect第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary. B．A guidebook.C．A news report. D．A story book.（二）During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries formoney to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee becaus e of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Governme nt’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve clim ate goals.”；4. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference?A．The deal on loss and damage.B．The deal on using fossil fuels.C．The deal on rainforest preservation.D．The deal on helping climate refugees.；5. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change? A．More greenhouse gases.B．Massive deforestation.C．Shortage of money and supplies.D．Terrible weather conditions.；6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Climate change is influencing people’s live s.B．17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.C．Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.D．There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.；7. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with?A．Never put off till tomorrow.B．Many hands make light work.C．Knowledge starts with practice.D．No way is impossible to courage.（三）What are you doing this weekend? Perhaps you're spending time with family, hanging out with friends, or maybe you're going to play a sport. All around the world, people chill out at the end of the working week and take part in leisure activities. In many countries, the weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday, while in others Friday and Saturday are the days of rest. In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday form the weekend, while in one country, Brunei, Friday and Sunday are the days off.Have you ever stopped to wonder, though, exactly where it originated? And how is the concept going to change? The modern weekend took shape during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19 century, in areas such as the north of England, people began to leave the countryside to work in towns and cities. There, new factories were springing up. Their working lives were once ruled by nature, with the amount of work depending on the changing seasons. Now, their employers demanded a different rhythm-a six-day week of up to 12 hours a day, followed by one day of rest.Campaigns for workers' rights appeared. By the end of the century they had managed to reduce the working week to five and a half days. This meant that working people could take an interest in hobbies such as photography, which was very new at the time. In the US in the 1920s, the industrialist Henry Ford helped to create the weekend. He gave all his workers Saturday and Sunday off work. His factories manufactured cars, and he wanted to allow his employees time to purchase and enjoy the cars they were producing.These days, in many countries, working a 40-hour week is normal. Many people have a nine-to-five job, but even that is rapidly changing. Technology enables more people to work from home and plan their own use of time. This means that an official period away from work is becoming less important. Perhaps in the future we will work fewer hours altogether. If we become more productive, we should be able to afford the same lifestyle by working fewer hours. It has been estimated, for example, that a worker in the US can achieve a 1950s standard of living by working just 1l hours a week. Some people have recommended a 21-hour working week to help with unemployment, climate change and inequality. However, a change like that may mean more leisure time but it will probably limit people's ability to earn money to enjoy it.8. What does the underlined word “originated” in the second paragraph me an? A．Relaxed. B．Started. C．Appeared suddenly. D．Stopped. 9. What happened as a result of campaigns on behalf of workers?A．People became more inventive.B．People worked fewer hours per day.C．People worked fewer hours overall.D．People found employment in leisure industries.10. The writer says an American businessman gave his workers time off so that A．he could produce more cars.B．they could spend money on cars.C．he didn’t have to pay them to drive.D．they would enjoy working with him.11. Why does the writer suggest the weekend may be less important now? A．Because we start work later than we used toB．Because nobody works over 40 hours a week.C．Because technology empowers individuals to arrange their own time. D．Because people are out control of their working week.二、七选五阅读Mondays are kind of annoying. 12 A recent survey says that most people get the pre-work “Sunday blues”. Starting your Monday feeling sad, anxious and unorganized is hardly the way to kick off a healthy week.The solution? Set aside a little time on Sunday to purposefully prepare yourself for the five days ahead, suggests women’s health expert Marsha Hudnall. 13Do some meal preparations.Figuring out what to have for dinner on weeknights can be surprisingly stressf ul. Stretching out a menu plan on Sunday and swinging by the grocery store for ingredients will help you eat well. Go a step further by chopping and cooking vegetables and a protein (like a roast chicken or scrambled eggs). 14 Or finally attempt a di fferent diet you’ve been meaning to try. For easy dinner planning, just order, and you’ll have a week’s worth of raw materials for delicious and healthy meals.Start a Sunday stress-relief habit.“To be healthy, we have to take care of body and mind,” says Hudnall. Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate. 15 Four ideas to try: a guided meditation with the help of an app; forest bathing－a practice known as shinrin-yoku in Japan, which basically means taking a long walk or hik e in a wooded area; gentle exercise like yoga; or time cuddling and playing with your pet.16Why not prepare your favorite clothes for Monday? Studies show that what you wear can have a significant effect on your mood. So make Monday the day you wear your favorite clothes or show the latest addition to your wardrobe (衣橱). It’s also a good idea to get some nice coffee or music ready, which will give you something to look forward to on your Monday commute.A．Give yourself something to look forward on Monday.B．Even Sunday afternoons turn sour as we think of the workweek ahead.C．Then all you have to do is heat and plate when you come home from work. D．Therefore, starting a Sunday stress-relieving habit can begin a week feeling strong and focused.E．Try creating a relaxing and winding down Sunday night so that you can recharge and get ready for Monday.F．Taking on just a few of these simple tips every Sunday will help you launch a productive, less stressful week.G．Wailing until the last moment to do weekend chores like paying bills or doing laundry can leave you anxious and stressed on Sunday.三、完型填空The stage lights dimmed (变昏暗), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.

高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月31日晚限制：不超过65-70分钟】一、六选四阅读1. Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. Don't wait for someone else to act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you'll want to keep going.Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can you come up with?Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months.Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks. By letting them "borrow" your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that's what communities are for!Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read. Either way, a book or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges people to take action.A. Cleaning your community will have a positive effect on others in society.B. They find a need or an issue you really care about.C. But they belong to the community, too.D. Living in a clean neighborhood will be its own reward.E. Don't hesitate to take part in the community's activity.F. Round up some readers.二、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

现吨市安达阳光实验学校凤艺荣高复高三英语阅读理解限时训练（11）AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates（木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supporting the orphanage. “But most of all, ” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued, “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.41. We know from the text that .A. the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB. the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC. the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his family was very heavyD. the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago42. From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was veryafterhearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A. surprisedB. disappointedC. pitifulD. proud43. The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7） can be replaced by .A. practicalB. wonderfulC. necessaryD. importantBJeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.Jeanne Calme nt lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I’m still alive!45. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?A. She is miserable and unhappy.B. She is cheerful and humorous.C. She would like to live much younger.D. She feels she is goingto die very soon.46. We can owe her good health and long life to _______.A. smoking only a little every dayB. her giving up smoking and drinkingC. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every dayD. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercise47. Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” inthe fourth paragraph?A. dealB. trickC. marchD. sport48. Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the lawyerevery year on her birthday?A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.CAs computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (着迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14--year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to beacceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.49. We may infer from the first paragraph that .A. computer games have little to do with violence in real lifeB. Manhunt has resulted in the death of one of its playsC. lifelike computer games are forbidden in the UKD. legislation to protect children in the UK still needs improving50. Violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies because .A. violent movies are not so attractive to childrenB. the viewers can't take part in violent moviesC. violent movies are not popular with childrenD. children can win awards in violent games51. What will be probably discussed in the paragraph following the passage？A. Further research on the harm of violent games.B. Further differences between violent game and nonviolent games.C. Ways to protect children from violent games.D. The result of more experimental studies.52. What would be the best title for the passage？A. Games and MurderB. Should Computer Games become lifelike？C. Legislation, effective or not？D. Violent Games and Nonviolent GamesDSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.Some experts tell us boundaries are hea lthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券)But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it? 53. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keepa secret” because ______.A. modern society has finally entered a much opened societyB. people leave privacy around when using modern technologyC. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairsD. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefitB. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secretC. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefitD. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit56. The best title for the passage could be _________?A. Is Privacy As Important As HealthB. What Can Be Done to Protect the PrivacyC. Does Privacy MatterD. Does Modern Technology Reveal PrivacyESome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.57. According to the passage, which of the following is increasinglydangerous to sea creatures?A. The man-made noises.B. The noises made by themselves.C. The sound of earthquakes.D. The sound of theice-breaking.58. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A. Different places with different types of noises.B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.D. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.59. We can know from the passage that many researchers think that thenoise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would _____.A. prevent them from doing their research workB. benefit them a lot in their research workC. do good to their healthD. increase the industrial output60. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A. They will try their best to decrease noise.B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C. They will study the effect of different noises.D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.。

It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rulesrequire that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of theleg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such anattractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistantprofessor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon amo ng race walkers. But thesport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to becautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.4. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A．They must run long distances.B．They are qualified for the marathon.C．They have to follow special rules.D．They are good at swinging their legs.5. What advantage does race walking have over running?A．It’s more popular at the Olympics.B．It’s less challenging physically.C．It’s more effective in body building.D．It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.6. What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking? A．Getting experts’ opinions.B．Having a medical checkup.C．Hiring an experienced coach.D．Doing regular exercises.7. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking? A．Skeptical. B．Objective.C．Tolerant. D．Conservative.CAn unconventional method for growing rice has been found to increase yields(产量) by 20 to 50 percent. Reports from China, India, Southeast Asia and Africa suggest that average yield increases of 20 to 50 percent are regularly being achieved by farmers adopting the "system of rice intensification(集约化)"(SRI)，which needs one-tenth as many seeds and aims to stimulate the root system of plants rather than trying to increase yields in the conventional way by using improved seeds and fertilizers.The idea of using less to gain more is seen as an important innovation(革新) for adapting farming to climate change and a way to increase yields at a time when human populations are growing fast but traditional plant breeding and genetically modified techniques have failed to increase yields more than a few percentage points, says Norman Uphoff, professor of international agriculture at Cornell.The new way to grow rice needs only half as much water, and is proving most popular in water-stressed countries, says Tavseef Mairaj Shah, a Ph.D．researcher. "Rice growing in Kashmir largely depends on irrigation systems that draw water from the river Jhelum. But climate change is leading to drier winters, untimely rains, and warmer summers."“SRI is a great technique, not just from the water-savingperspective but because it offers better yields and soil conditions. Different studies, both at the experimental level and farmer-participative level, have shown that SRl improves yields with less water.” Shah adds.Some academic, the global seed industry and the international community once rejected reports of “fantastic” yields, accusingfarmers of falsifying(篡改）records and researchers of carelessness and "non-science". But more than 600 articles, checked by SRI Internationalat Cornell University, have shown benefits.Uphoff says, “Attitudes are changing.The original hostility(敌意)has gone." However, the early opposition has resulted in comparativelylittle scientific research being conducted into SRI and a slow understanding by funders.8. How does SRI increase the yields of rice?A．By sowing more seeds B．By using improved seeds.C．By improving its root system. D．By adopting special fertilizers. 9. Compared with the conventional method for growing rice, SRI.A．needs less water B．increases labor costsC．requires better soil conditions D．depends on genetically modified techniques10. What was the global seed industry's initial attitude toward reportson SRI?A．Curious B．Skeptical. C．Approving D．Uninterested. 11. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．How to Increase YieldsB．People's Attitudes Towards SRIC．An Innovative Means of Growing RiceD．The Disadvantages of Conventional Plant Breeding二、完形填空A Florida man likes to shop at garage sales for old plaques(纪念匾)so he can reuse the wooden backs.

When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人)，they always ask me,“How do you do that?” Honestly, my answerwill be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 32 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.33 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.34 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from aboring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seentheir faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 35 The methods are various, but they make sure it’s something enjoyable.I realized it’s actually how I learn. 36 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy perso n, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.A．How can those with little talent be fluent?B．But people are never happy with the reply.C．There’s no shortcut to learning languages for anyone.D．One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.E．That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it. F．When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks. G．Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.四、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.May 21st this year marks the first International Tea Day, which37 (name) by the United Nations on November 27th, 2019.

The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During th e Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich.Ice containerThe most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks.Hiding food in the wellDuring the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope.Herbal drinksDuring the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body.1. What does “Jian” have the same function as?A．Container. B．Refrigerator. C．Clay. D．Copper.2. Which of the following is unavailable to common people?A．Ice tickets. B．Ice container. C．Hiding food in the well. D．Herbal drinks.3. What’s the common purpose of the above four ways?A．To strengthen the body. B．To keep food fresh.C．To escape the summer heat. D．To make cold drinks.BWorld’s First Hydrogen-Powered Train LineLast Wednesday, five hydrogen-powered trains began to make the 100-kilometer trip between Cuxhaven and Buxtehude in Germany. The trains make almost no noise and run without polluting. Germany is planning to replace many of its diesel (柴油) trains with hydrogen trains.Currently, most trains run on diesel power. When diesel fuel is burned, it creates carbon dioxide and other polluting gases. These gases have helped create the climatecrisis. That’s one reason why many countries are trying to find energy choices that pollute less.Hydrogen is the simplest known element. It’s also very common—74% of the universe is made of hydrogen atoms. Pure hydrogen is a gas that burns easily. Hydrogen can be. used to create electricity by combining it with oxygen in a “fuel cell”. The chemical reaction which takes place creates electricity. A fuel cell is like a battery that never runs down as long as it has hydrogen. The oxygen comes from the air around the train. The best part is that when a fuel cell creates electricity, it doesn’t create pollution. The only thing it gives off is water, which comes out as steam.There’s a hydrogen station on the line to refuel the trains. But since the trains can go about 1,000 kilometers before they need more fuel, they only need to fill up once a day. The trains can go as fast as 140 kph—about the same as the diesel trains they are replacing.In many places, hydrogen-powered trains are a smart choice for replacing diesel trains. The city of Frankfurt, Germany has already ordered 27 of the hydrogen-powered trains. Other countries are also interested. France and Italy have ordered several of the hydrogen powered trains. Germany will replace up to 3,000 of its diesel trains with hydrogen- powered trains.；4. Why do people develop hydrogen train?A．To reduce noise.B．To cut pollution.C．To improve transport.D．To solve the energy problem.；5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A．Advantages of hydrogen.B．The process of chemical reaction.C．The unpolluted characteristic of hydrogen.D．The popularity of hydrogen.；6. What can we infer about the hydrogen train from paragraph 4?A．It travels 140 km on one refueling.B．It should be refueled twice a day.C．It goes faster than a normal train.D．It needs very few hydrogen stations.；7. What does the author think of the future of hydrogen trains?A．Uncertain. B．Worrying. C．Promising. D．Difficult.CIf you have a dog, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out dog behavior. Like us, dogs are complex creatures, and it can be hard to know what’s behind your dog’s actions.When you’re asking them to sit or giving them a treat, eye contact means that their attention is on you and that they’re ready to listen. But sometimes your pup will look at you aimlessly. There area few reasons why your dog might stare at you — even when you don’t call its name or do something to get its attention.In general, dogs use eye contact to gain information and understand what humans want them to do, says Philip Tedeschi, professor and researcher on the human-animal bond. “Dogs use eye contact as reassurance and understanding in very similar ways that humans do, to ascertain interpersonal connection and reaction. This helps us connect with them as well,” he says.Science confirms that dogs use eye contact to express love. How do you tell if a dog loves you? Well, if he stares at you, it’s a good sign! “Just like humans look into each other’s eyes to show love, so does your dog,” says Tedeschi. “In fact, one study showed that the ‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin (拥抱荷尔蒙催产素) increases in both humans and dogs when they exchange a loving look.”If the eye contact between a dog and a human is too long or too intense it might lead to discomfort in the dog — similar to the way two humans staring at each other for a longer period of time would make them uncomfortable, according to Tedeschi. So what do you do if your dog stares at you? Look back, but not for too long. Dogs get awkward, too!；8. What does it usually mean when your dog stares at you?A．It’s on guard against you.B．It’s longing to be hugged.C．It’s ready for your instruction.D．It’s confused about your order.；9. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “ascertain” in paragraph 3? A．Take part in. B．Make sure of. C．Come up with. D．Look forward to.；10. Why is “‘cuddle’ hormone oxytocin” mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To tell people when a dog expects for human love.B．To confirm dogs employ eye contact to convey love like humans.C．To show that a lot of people are working on this subject.D．To illustrate that dogs are just like human in exchanging emotions.；11. How will a dog feel if you stare at it for a long time?A．Beloved. B．Honored. C．Threatened. D．Embarrassed.二、七选五阅读Expressive writing or journaling is one way to help you heal from trauma (创伤).12 . It can help you process what you’ve been through and assist you as you envisiona path forward.Why does a writing intervention work? 13 In fact, narrating the story of an ongoing anxiety “frees up” cognitive resources. When you write down the emotionsassociated with a traumatic experience, you may be changing the way it is organized in the brain. You are then able to detach from the emotion, making it easier for you to talk about and process the event.However, for most people, the thought of acknowledging emotions and admitting that there’s something wrong with us is difficult. This is because expressing emotions can bring up feelings of guilt and shame. 14 That is what sets journaling apart. This is between you and your journal —you don’t have to share it with anyone unless, of course, you choose to.If you’re interested in trying out writing as a tool for healing, s tart your writing by setting a timer for ten minutes. 15 Think of one object in your home that signifies a moment for you. See it in full color. Feel the weight of it. Use all your senses. Now, write about that object and see how large its meaning can become.16 How you heal from trauma can be different from person to person as well.It all depends on what works best for you. Remember, one size does not fit all. Writing may not work for everyone, but you won’t know if you don’t try.【选项】B．Of course, expressive writing is hardly a panacea (灵丹妙药).C．Also, seeking help for emotional stress is often seen as a sign of weakness.D．It may seem abnormal that writing about negative experiences has a positive effect. E．Once you have a better handle on your problems, you can move forward and get on with life.F．It is writing from your heart and mind and about the emotion associated with a certain event.G．Let your mind go to the detailed, specific moments to get to the feelings and truthof your experience.三、完形填空Misty Copeland spends most days twisting, spinning and 17 .

Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In Sept.1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China‟s Shanxi Province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.We measure an earthquake‟s strength on the Richter scale. The Richter scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.The earth‟s crust (地壳) is made up of layers of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the earth moves, they move with it.Earthquakes can also break up gas or oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis (海啸). These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many metres high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities.China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence (发生) of earthquakes in the world.高三英语限时训练（一）完形填空41—45 : CBA DC 46—50 : BCACD 51—55 : CADBC 56—60 : DCACB任务型阅读:71. earthquakes 72. history 73. its 74. happened 75. measure76. introduced 77. cause 78. crust 79. effects 80. fires高三英语限时训练（二）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）A farmer had some puppies (小狗) he needed to sell.

Then reaching 42 into his pocket, he pulled out a 43 of coins and said to the farmer. “I've got thirty-nine cents.

People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital（婚姻的）status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation‟s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That‟s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.Title: People on the 71高三英语限时训练（二）完形填空36－40 CBADB; 41－45 ABCCC; 46－50 DBADA; 51-55 DDAAB任务型阅读：71. move, 72. history, 73. increasing, 74. richer/wealthier, 75.
