2020届高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解部分之限时训练(十六)
2020;2020届高考英语二轮专题复习精品阅读理解部分之限时训练（十六）阅读理解Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “I’d like to know what your dreams are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.One woman said to me, “I don’t know what you can do with dreams. The rats ar e eating up my kids.”“Oh,” I said, “That’s terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How can that be helped?”“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked, “Is there anybod y around here who know how to fix a screen door?”There was a man in the group and he said, “A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have a terribly bad back, but I’ll try.”I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the lady’s screen door. “Do you think you can do that?”“Yes, I’ll try.”The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed?”“Oh, yes.” she said.“Then we can start dreaming, can’t we?” she sort of smiled at me.I said to the man who did the work, “How do you feel?”He said, “Well, you know, it’s very funny thing. I’m beginning to feel a lot better.”That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really could happen. Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks, I had all those people off publ ic welfare. I’ve not only done that once, I’ve done that in many times.50．What’s the opinion the author had when he took on the work? A．People need to be activated by others to make a living.B．Everyone should not have depended on public welfare.C．Everyone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare. D．The county should gather people from different racial groups together. 51．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The author did the work at his own expense.B．The people the author worked with were very wealthy.C．The author usually met the people four times a month.D．The people the author worked with had no dreams at all.52．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．The rats are so big that they eat the children.B．The rats are crazy and have the children as food.C．The rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.D．The kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats. 53．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?A．Anything in the would is difficult.B．Small success can be parts of your dream.C．I have had those people off public welfare.D．Your dream comes before it becomes a reality.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)For as long as I can remember, I have been very bad at arguing with people.

2020年高考英语二轮复习专题阅读理解
专题阅读理解高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。
分析近几年的高考英语试题，我们不难看出，阅读理解是高考试题中难度最大，区分度最高的题型，自始至终占据着主导地位。
阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。
不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。
除此之外，还涉及非语言因素，如：对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。
Ⅰ.阅读理解题策略一、先看题干，带着问题读文章。
即先看试题，再读文章。
阅读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。
其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。
二、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40词左右。
必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
速读全文对于主旨大意题的解决尤其有效，能快速抓住主干，确定好答案。
三、详读细节，理顺思路与文章脉络。
文章绝不是互不相干的句子的堆砌。
作者为文，有脉可循。
如记叙文多以人物为中心，以时间或空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事；议论文则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。
四、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
深层理解主要包括归纳概括题(中心思想，加标题等)和推理判断题，是阅读理解中的难点。
深层理解是一种创造性的思维活动。
它必须忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知推断未知，不能凭空想像，随意揣测；读者要对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。
推理题在提问中常用的词有：conclude，infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

And sure enough, that summer she signed with a modeling agency. She was already doing runway work.One day, Hannah and I went to the movies. On the way home, we stopped at the McDonald’s drive-through, putting the fries on the seat between us to share. “Let’s ride around a while,” I said. It was a clear night, moonlight shone over the desert. Taking a turn too fast, I hit a patch of dirt and fishtailed.French fri es on the floor. An impossible amount of blood on Hannah’s face. They took us in separate ambulances. In the ER, my parents spoke quietly Best plastic surgeon in the city.

What would i say to her?When her mother, Sharon, came into my hospital room, I started to cry, bracing myself for her anger. She sat beside me and took my hand. “I almost ended my best friend when I was your age,” she said, “I totaled her car and mine.”“I’m so sorry,” I said.“You’re both alive,” she said, “The rest is window dressing.” I started to protest, and Sharon stopped me. “I forgive you.

Lifelong FriendshipC. My Best Friend HannahD. Learning to ForgiveCPlease take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it fee l good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges (认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment (许诺) to this goa l to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.28. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Completion of the goal.B. Necessary hard work.C. People’s acknowledgement.D. A sense of satisfaction.29. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.30. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?A. By giving figures.B. By giving examples.C. By making a survey.D. By making comparison tests.31. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?A. You will be more confident.B. You will not gain satisfaction.C. You are less likely to realize it.D. You’ll be much more motivated.DSelf-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far, most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations, and on all types of roads. However, most of the data on self-driving cars’ safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways, where the most importan t tasks are staying in the car’s own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks, but so are humans.It is true that self-driving cars don’t get tired, angry, frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment, rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.To a self-driving car, a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed, deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans, but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate (评估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines can’t be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation (航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced, there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety, it’s important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all, choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.32. What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?A. Self-driving cars never get tired.B. Statistics are collected differently.C. Machines can make decisions faster.D. Self-driving cars know the world better.33. What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Dangers.B. Self-driving cars.C. Pedestrians.D. Human-driven cars.34. In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?A. Driving steadily.B. Climbing steep slopes.C. Evaluating the cost of loss.D. Making complex decisions.35. Why does the author write this text?A. To support human-driven cars.B. To show his doubt about self-driving cars.C. To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.D. To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.第一节阅读理解（满分30分）21～25 ABDBB 26～30 CDACD 31～35 CBAAC第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AFormal Afternoon TeasA pot of tea, a plate of finger sandwiches and a selection of pastries and scones: In America, this wonderful way to wile away the afternoon is commonly, though mistakenly, known as “high tea.” In Britain, where it originated, “high tea” is simply an old-fashioned name for the evening meal; it’s also called “meal tea.” The light, elegant, scone-centric meal served at fancy hotels is called “low tea” or “afternoon tea”. Whatever you call it, here are four places to get afternoon tea on Long Island. Prices are per person.Chat Noir230 Merrick Rd., Rockville Centre516-208-8521, Owner Emma Tso is a talented pastry chef, and her afternoon tea($22) includes sandwiches, miniature pastries, warm scones, cream and jam and a pot of tea.

At the Secret Garden Tea Cafe& Gift ShoppeBThe dad of the two youngest survivors of US Airways Flight 1549’s incredible landing in the Hudson River said the near-death experience “brought out the best in humanity.” It has been a decade since US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River.Sosa, now 58, told The Post in an email Monday. “As strange as the experience was, it brought out the best in humanity as witnessed by the selfless efforts of so many men and women who came to our aid without thinking twice about their safety. I am grateful to all of them.”Sosa and his wife Tess were traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina, that day with 9-month-old Damian and 4-year-old Sofia. The couple were sitting several rows apart when the Airbus A320 suddenly struck a flock of Canada geese moments after taking off from LaGuardia Airport.Sosa could smell jet fuel burning and immediately knew they were in danger. “There was an explosion in the left engine which I could see from my seat,” he recalled. “The next thing I knew the plane went dead silent when both engines broke down. I got a quick glance at Tess seated ahead of me when we both realized we were in trouble.”The next three minutes were harrowing(折磨). The powerless plane plunged over The Bronx and pointed toward the Hudson, where it would eventually ditch(在水上迫降), thanks to a split-second decision by Capt. Sullenberger. All 155 people on board could survive. Works helped with the rescue mission after the US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River in the afternoon on January 15 in New York City.The dad this year 2019 who welcomed a new child, Phoebe, with Tess in the years after the incident — said “To date, it remains an unforgettable memory, a key point in our lives from which we perceive(感知) the world and process our day-to-day experiences,” said Sosa. “When you survive a near-miss experience, I think it makes one more tolerant. It makes you appreciate every day as a gift.”24. When did the US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River?A. 2007B. 2009C. 2011D. 201925. The underlined sentence most probably means_____.A. making effortsB. expressing gratitudeC. displaying virtuesD. showing anger26. What can be learned about Sosa and Tess?A. A disaster made them cherish every day.B. They were traveling to Charlotte, South Carolina that day.C. They realized they were in danger when the left engine failed.D. They were sitting together when the plane struck a flock of Canada geese.27. What may be the best title of the passage?A. Landing in the HudsonB. Unforgettable flightC. Horrifying flightD. Miracle on the HudsonCHave you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, maybe grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”, often used in a situation---a quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before the storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm?A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storm---a single-cell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main stream of current, which is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directions—even from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a low-pressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapor in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition of rain. These drops accumulate and build on larger particles(颗粒) like dust, until they grow large enough to form raindrops.This warm, damp air keeps moving upwards, but it becomes cooler and drier during its trip through cloud. When it reaches the top of the cloud, the air is squeezed out at the top. This air is sent rolling out over the big thunderclouds. From there, the air goes down. Warm and dry air is relatively stable, and once it covers a region, that air, in turn, causes the calm before a storm.Most thunderstorms, though, don't start with calm. That's because most are actually groups of storms with complex wind patterns. There's so much air moving up and down storm groups that the calm before the storm never happens. Instead, before the storm, it might be really windy!28.

Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brain’s most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction.Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.32. In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?A. Economic benefitsB. International reachC. Cultural influenceD. Educational importance33. Why does the author value the role of the written word?A. It strengthens our muscles.B. It helps sharpen imagination.C. It distinguishes man from each other.D. It paves the way for narrative film/TV.34. What is the author’s attitude towards technology?A. CautiousB. SkepticalC. PositiveD. Critical35.

There was every indication thatshe was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. H ertime were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying toget out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her andfound her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced re sults, and a few year later at JamaicaOlympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in短跑).the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallen ged queen of the sprint( asked an astonished sprinting world, before “Where d id she come from?”concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time totime, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At theBeijing Olympic she swept away any doubtsabout her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever towin the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73--- the fourthrecord ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has toughest been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’sinner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she es. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an couldn’t afford shoathlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after sh e had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports couldbe her way out of Waterhouse. O n a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminalI have so much fire burning for neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “my country,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children andwants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicansto lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as world.Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made As Muhammad Ali puts it, “from something they have deep inside them.

Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’dayed with millions Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d plof times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny ,new bike that alreadyhad all the bells and whistles.

They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of themodel plans provided. Another group built something out oftheir own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creativemind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.

A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential issue has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.Let’s see what you can do.★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On numerous occasions,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it’s not the end of the world.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.★Deal with conflicts soone r rather than later.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said,but from something that wasn’t said! Everyone’s waiting for the other to admit he’s wrong and gets more un pleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It’s essential to interrupt the “waiting game” before it gets to that point.★Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that made you angry,or if you don’t understand their viewpoint or actions,simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there’s a good reason why that person do es what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappear right there.Do remember to make an inquiry,not an accusation of any sort.★Appreciate.Praise the other part in the conflict.Tell them why it’s wor th it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it’s a great way to move forward.Topic How to 1. conflicts at workReason Conflicts won’t 2. if not dealt with3.on handling conflicts ●Don’t be afraid of conflicts which are usually 4..●Interrupt the “waiting game” and try to admit your 5.actively and solve it soon or it will get 6.●Don’t imagine people do something to make you 7. onpurpose.●Remember not to 8. others,but ask them nicely aboutwhat they do,which may make a difference.●Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict although itis 9. to do so.10.

None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time. And like more Americans, she,s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized.
