Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·合肥高三质检)Cycling is well known to improveindividual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population interms of economy, transport and environment. The EU promotescycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的)clean and energy-efficient transport systems. However, despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 20∶1, many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled. Cycle lanes(车道) have been used to improve cyclists’ safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road. This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists’ safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车) vehicles is concerned.In this study, the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists’safety. Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without. Color block vs. uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference, as did no cycle lanes vs. color block cycle lanes. Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)．Interestingly, the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists’safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes. Road width, parking, opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths. The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area. “In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.” They suggest, “Lane width is the most significant variable(变量) to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance. The narrow cycle lanes (<2m) may be not enough. Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了为了实现可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，欧盟大力推广使用自行车，并指出在自行车的推广过程中要解决安全的问题.1．What is the main purpose of the EU’s promoting cycling?A．To reduce air pollution.B．To build better transport systems.C．To improve people’s health.D．To help people save money on transport.B解析：细节理解题.根据第一段第二句可知，欧盟通过多种途径推广使用自行车主要是为了建立可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，故B项正确.2．According to the study, color block lanes may________．A．make drivers a bit carelessB．cause no overtakingC．get cyclists to feel saferD．lead to greater passing distancesA解析：推理判断题.根据第二段最后一句可知，彩色车道有轻微的负面效应，当自行车车道清晰度较低时驾驶员要更小心.据此可以判断，彩色车道会使驾驶员变得粗心，故A 项正确.3．In the researchers’eyes, the first step to encourage more cycling is to________．A．redesign and rebuild the roads in a cityB．do more research in public bicycle programsC．restrict the number of vehicles running on the roadD．make strict traffic rules to control driver behaviourC解析：细节理解题.根据第三段中的“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.”可知，为了降低风险，鼓励更多地使用自行车，首先要减少现有的机动车辆，即控制路上的机动车的数量，故C项正确.4．The authors of the research think that driver behaviour________．A．needs further explorationB．is an unimportant factorC．makes cycle lanes narrowerD．is the most significant variableA解析：细节理解题.根据第三段的“Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”可知，需要对驾驶员的行为因素做进一步探索，故A项正确.Ⅱ七选五(2018·山西八校联考)Self-confident people face their fears head-on and they know that no matter what obstacles come their way，they have the ability to get past them.Wouldn’t it be amazing to have this kind of selfconfidence？Guess what？You can.1.________ Stay away from negativity.2．________ This is a tough one，but it’s time to seriously consider getting away from those individuals who put you down and shred your confidence.Even a temporary break from Debbie Downer can make a huge difference and help you move toward more self-confidence.Be positive.Put some positive enthusiasm into your interactions with others and hit the ground running，excited to begin your next project. 3.________ Instead，begin to focus on solutions and making positive changes.Don’t accept failure.Never give up.Never accept failure and get rid of the negative voices in your head.There is a solution to everything.4.________ Make this your new mantra(真言)．Succeeding in a difficult or unpleasant situation is a huge confidence booster(激励)．5．________Learn everything there is to know about your field，job，presentation—whatever is next on your“to conquer”list.If you are prepared，and have the knowledge to back it up，your selfconfidence will rise very quickly.A．Be prepared.B．Create a great list.C．Get out of your comfort zone.D．Stop focusing on the problems in your life.E．Therefore，why would you want to stop trying?F．Here’s how you can learn to be confident of all you do.G．Evaluate your inner circle，including friends and family.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文.文章主要介绍了提高自信的一些方法.1．F解析：根据空前的“Wouldn’t it be amazing to have this kind of self-confidence？Guess what？You can.”及下文罗列的内容可知，此处需填一个承上启下的句子，故F项“这是你可以学会对你所做的所有事情感到自信的方法.”符合语境.2.

Too much cars travel on the roads. This heavy traffic causes delays and the plenty of air pollution. Besides Jinan, many cities in China have traffic problems and Beijing is the worse one. One of the reason why there is so much traffic is because only a small number of people use public transportation.In my opinion, one way to solve the traffic problems was to encourage people to make use public transportation systems. For example, people can take buses instead of drive cars. Meanwhile, the government should take measures to make them more reliable and convenient to travel by bus.答案：Jinan is facing seriouslyserious traffic problems. Toomuchmany cars travel on the roads.

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·南昌十校模拟)I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my “polite”opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos(文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it into my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large

her at once.He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long struggle,the battle was won.Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He looked at it,then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open it,for she was sure it

not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluatingschoolwork.Professors have several roles in relation to students;they may be friends as well as teachers.Students must realize that when a

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·成都高三诊断性检测)Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(内省的)artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris, whose permanent collection includes his great painting of a woman absorbed in close, visually demanding work, The Lacemaker (about 1669－1670). Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.So attracted are today’s art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans can’t name who painted Girl w ith a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they don’t go to the movies much.It is not true to say he was forgotten—that would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His self-referential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avantgarde(先锋派) in the 19th century who saved him from being completely forgotten. Compare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with, say, Edouard Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère(1882)or Camille Pissarro’s The Boule v ard Montmartre at Night(1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThoréBürger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.Vermeer’s rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了著名画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。

D．Local news.B解析：文章出处题.根据文章是对四本书的介绍可知，这篇文章可能来自报纸的文学版块，即B项正确.BExposed soil isn’t part of nature’s master plan. Good examples wheresoil is naturally found with no plants growing in are beneath freshly removedtrees, or where the ground has been burnt by a land fire. In these situationsbare soil isn’t bare for long; within days seedlings(芽) begin to appear andcover the ground. In a few months’ t ime, the scar is hardly noticeable.Unlike these natural examples, ploughed(耕犁) fields and freshly dug gardens are obvious examples created by man. But, left to nature, even these bare soils soon turn green with a large number of tiny seedlings. In fields, gardens and on grasslands, roadside and sports fields, along streets and on paths and pavements, we are constantly battling to stop weeds from growing. All we are doing is stop the recovering powers of nature.Whenever soil is exposed, weeds act like a kind of medicine to reduce the potentially harmful rays of the sun, so the sooner plant growth covers the soil over again, the better.Weeds also help to improve the fertility(肥沃) of the soil. Their roots get the soil together, improving its structure and creating a more stable environment in which soil life can grow fast. Those weeds with a deep root draw up plant nutrients from deeper in the ground, making them available to plants growing near the soil surface. Above ground, the stems(茎)of weeds help trap fallen leaves which break down into the soil, adding to the fertility of the soil.As the soil becomes more fertile, different kinds of plants start to replace the “pioneering”weeds. Bushes move in to take the place by gradually shading them out, followed in turn by trees, which eventually push up through the bushes, finally shading them out too. Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that was begun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil. Then, when one of these mature trees is removed in a storm，leaving a wound of bare soil in the earth, the whole process starts again.【解题导语】人们到处阻止杂草等植物的生长，然而，它们却有助于增加土壤的肥沃度.所以，土壤和植物之间是相互促进的关系.4．When will soil be left bare?A．A land fire has just happened.B．A young tree is planted in.C．No one ploughs the land.D．No crops are planted in.A解析：细节理解题.根据第一段中的“Exposed soil isn’t part of nature’s master plan. Good examples...where the ground has been burnt by a land fire.”可知，刚被火烧过的土地被称作裸土.故选A项.5．Which of the following prevents the bare soil from recovering?A．Seedlings appearing in gardens.B．Reducing harmful rays of the sun.C．Removing weeds from pavements.D．Replacing plants in sports fields.C解析：推理判断题.根据第二段最后两句可知，人们除掉路边杂草的行为就是在阻止裸土的恢复.故选C项.6．What can weeds do for the soil?A．They create soil life.B．They help improve the soil.C．They get nutrients from the sun.D．They break down fallen leaves.B解析：细节理解题.根据第四段中的“Weeds also help to improve the fertility(肥沃) of the soil.”可知，杂草有助于提高土壤的肥沃度.7．How can the soil remain fertile after trees move in?A．By adding more weeds to the soil.B．By taking out the weeds constantly.C．By removing the previous bushes.D．By making use of the fallen leaves.D解析：细节理解题.根据最后一段中的“Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that was begun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil.”可判断D项正确.Ⅱ七选五(2018·宁波模拟)With today’s stressful lifestyles, it’s important to have time that you spend doing something just for the fun of it.

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·江西名校联盟检测)Several decades ago, educators in theU．S．A．began to call attention to a national problem: most students leaveAmerican schools without the mathematical skills needed for jobs or forhigher education.This was especially true for female and minoritystudents.The Educational Testing Service reported that, in an international survey, American teenagers had the lowest math scores.This situation has been defined as “innumeracy”，or the inability to grasp the basic idea of mathematics.Mathematicians, teachers, and scientists were alarmed by these findings.They looked for the reasons and decided that, in addition to poor education, there are many psychological blocks.Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.As a result, those students fall further and further behind.Low__visibility__in__the__classroom__has__not always been__recognized__as__a__silent__call__for__help.Math educators decided to try to change that.Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students work through “math anxiety”—the roadblock on their way to gaining competence in mathematics.In addition, math textbooks are being updated to help students understand that math is not a sort of foreign language of numbers.Math is a tool that helps us to analyze patterns and structures, and to discover relationships.Traditional computing skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are still being taught, of course. However, there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策.1．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A．Students with low scores fear to ask their teachers for help.B．Poor equipment in classrooms limits teens’chances to learn.C．Math anxiety, hardly noticed, is actually a silent call for help.D．Poorsighted students can’t see clearly, which is a silent call for help.C解析：句意理解题.根据上下文及画线句前面的“Embarrassment about not knowing math can lead to fear in the classroom.Fear can lead to silence because students do not want to draw attention to their lack of knowledge.”可知，学生会因自己不懂某些数学知识感到尴尬，而这又会使他们产生恐惧心理，恐惧可能导致沉默，因为学生不想让人注意到自己知识匮乏，相应地，老师也就会忽略学生这方面的不足，由此可知，C项最能传达该画线句的含义.2．Which may lead to American students’innumeracy?A．The methods of teaching.B．The difficulty of math itself.C．Students’lack of interest in math.D．Schools’not attaching enough value to it.A解析：细节理解题.根据文章第二段中的“in addition to poor education”及第四段的内容尤其是“Math reform is beginning with the educators themselves.Teachers are now being trained to recognize and to help students...gaining competence in mathematics.”可知，教学方法可能是美国学生不能掌握数学基本概念的原因.3．What may be discussed in the following paragraph?A．What to be taught in America’s revised math programs.B．How to make math reform actually benefit American students.C．How to improve teens’logical thinking and problemsolving abilities.D．Why traditional computing skills are necessary in mathematics education.C解析：推理判断题.根据最后一段中的“there is added emphasis on logical thinking and creative problem solving, to which there may be several equally valid solutions”可知，文章接下来可能会陈述有关怎样提高学生的逻辑思维能力及创造性地解决问题的能力方面的内容，故选C.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．Mathematic skills needed for higher education.B．The features of America’s mathematics education.C．Improvements in mathematics education in the U．S.D．The importance of mathematics education in the U．S.C解析：主旨大意题.通读全文可知，本文作者就美国学生无法掌握数学基本概念的现象、原因及相应的对策进行了陈述，故C项最能概括文章的主要内容.Ⅱ七选五(2018·湖北部分重点中学高三起点考试)How to Avoid a Boring ConversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to？Here are tips and inoffensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.·Go for a refill(续杯)．It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill.1.________And once you excuse yourself，make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well. ·Pretend bad mood.Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I’m not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind？” 2.________Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.·Ask your friend to save you.3．________Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important.You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.·4.________You are advised to look away from that person and don’t make eye contact，so that you can give powerful hints (暗示) that you find the conversation extremely boring.5.________Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you don’t come across as rude.A．Behave in an obviously careless way.B．Just be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.C．Don’t act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.D．Use body language to indicate boredom.E．Your friend is bound to perform brilliantly in coping with the dull one.F．Look elsewhere and pretend that something else has caught your attention.G．Stuck in an unwanted conversation，how do you get out of it?【解题导语】本文主要介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话.1．B解析：选项B中的so就是指空前的“get a refill”这一行为；同时空后的“make a move fast...as well”与选项B的内容相呼应.2．C解析：空后的代词it指代空处前一句中的“I’m not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind？”，所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关；同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌”在内容和语气方面是一致的.3．G解析：根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知，空后的两句话是对选项G这一疑问句的回答，选项G能够引出下文，符合语境.4．D解析：根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知，该段也应用祈使句作主题句；同时根据该段中的第一句可知，把目光从这个人身上移开，不要有眼神交流，这样可以给对方强烈的暗示，使其发现这段谈话极其无聊，这与选项D “使用肢体语言暗示厌烦”相吻合.5．F解析：空处起承上启下的作用，且根据该段主题句可知，使用肢体语言暗示厌烦，所以选项F “看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引”与之吻合.Ⅲ语法填空(2018·长春监测)On the first day of her work, Sally found that a class full of problems was waiting for her. She was told six teachers 1.____________(quit) before her. When she walked intothe classroom, it was chaos: two boys were fighting in a corner, yet 2.____________rest of the class seemed not to notice them; some girls were chatting and some were running about with paper, food packages and other garbage 3.____________(leave) everywhere.Sally walked onto the platform, 4.____________(pick) up a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard: “Rule 1: We are family！”All students stopped 5.____________(look) at her.

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·成都诊断)What are your retirement plans? Keep working?Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You mayput__them__on__hold. There’s a chance that, sooner or later, youmight have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars(火星)．On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the notsodistant year of 2037, the iglooshaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable—kitchen, bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Eart h’s, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double airlocked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre，”says Stephen Petranek, author of Ho w We’ll Li v e on Mars. This is not just the stuff of scifi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars，”Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will，”Petranek says. “But two main factors have completely swung public attitudes.”The private companies’participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gra v ity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.【解题导语】本文主要对人类未来在火星上居住作了相关介绍。

必修2 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AHere is a collection of some TV series.For this list, we stick to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits like Game of Thrones or Sherlock.Stranger ThingsThis US television series is a combination of three genres (类型)：the typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about crazy scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen King.This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amazing kids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide.The Pillars of the EarthIt is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darkest and most romantic (浪漫的) periods in the history of England. Based on the bestselling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.MahabharataThis Indian Hindilanguage series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the ageold wisdom of the Indian people.It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions.This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.The Cro w nThis story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制)．It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show.The series focuses on the ageold themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Cro w n win popularity.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。
