2016高考英语二轮复习 人生百味类 阅读理解练习(3)
- 1 - 人生百味类阅读理解（3） 2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类 Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hasty-made table as “Perfect!” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with failure-prevention devices is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time--- and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when we don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolation, prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment—and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring. Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a bad party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a failure that seems definitive can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine auditioned for a professional company. She was turned down. “ Would further training help?” - 2 -
she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “ You will never be a dancer”, he said, “You haven’t the body for it.” In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock(估量) of the situation bravely asking, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there’s less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy—a way to find new possibilities. 【小题1】The second paragraph tells us ___________ A．how a mother praised her children B．parents should blame their children at the proper time. C．how to shift blame D．two ways of failure prevention most parents use when their children fail 【小题2】According to the author, what should a child know in the real world? A．No one can be best all the time at everything. B．He should be equipped for life. C．No parents should offer quick consolations. D．He can get pleasure from failure as well as success. 【小题3】The underlined word “prompt” in the fifth paragraph can be best replaced by “_________.” A．prevent B．cause C．continue D．exchange 【小题4】From the passage we know that ______________. A．success lies in hard work B．never be disappointed to life C．failure can affect one’s life greatly once he learns to use it. D．everyone had his own value

2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类 The Loss of Innocence Innocence is such a precious gift．It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing．Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind．Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood． What would the world be like if innocence were never lost？One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world．During youth，there may be an occasional argument，even a little physical fight，but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being．And children are blind towards the racial differences of others．A kid will hang out with any other kid．It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise．Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure．With very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults．If innocence were kept alive，these ambitions would never depart from our lives． However，other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever．They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general．A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn，work，and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive．Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence，people would not have the desire to succeed，get a good job in life，or provide income for their families，which would hurt the lives of children． The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy．As long as innocence is kept alive，no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace，resulting in a strong decline in production and quality

高考英语阅读理解(人生百味)解题技巧(超强)及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.（1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?A.It's time to shorten the learning process.B.Best learning takes place over time.C.University education should be watered down.D.College education calls for reform.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" modelB.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" modelC.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" modelD.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient（3）In most US universities, ________.A.college students are offered the co-op programB.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time（4）We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficientB.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC.the author considers the university education quality very importantD.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。

2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）精练（3）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Temperature is measured by means of a thermometer (温度计). One general form of thermometer depends upon the fact t hat most solids and liquids expand as their temperature rises. There are one or two exceptions. There is, for instance, a kind of steel called invar (from “invariable”) which does not chang e its dimensions as temperature changes; it is valuable for ma king pendulums (钟摆), since, if the length of a pendulum changes, its time of vibr ation changes. It is also used for making very accurate measu ring scales. In both cases, then, changes of atmospheric temp erature have no effect if invar is used.Another exception is that very odd liquid, water, which has ma ny strange properties (特性). As water gets colder it contracts (收缩), which is ordinary behavior, until it reaches the temperatur e of 30℃. above freezing point. After that, as it gets colder, it expands. This is fortunate---for considering the freezing of a pond. As the water on top gets colder, it shrinks; and so, volume for volume, it becomes he avier and sinks. This goes on until all the pond is at 30℃, but after that, as the water becomes colder it expands. Therefore the colder water stays on top and freezes, covering the pond with ice. If the water went on contracting down to the freezing point, the pond would become a solid block of ice in the end. This would not worry people who live in hot climates, but it wo uld be very serious for those who live in cold climates, especi ally for those who want to break the ice and catch fish which li ve in the cold water beneath.1. Invar is valuable for making pendulums because _______.A. it can hardly change its shape or size as temperature chan ges.B. it will change its dimensions without the change of tempera ture.C. its time of vibration doesn’t change if its length changes.D. its time of vibration does not change if its length changes.2. As water gets colder after reaching the temperature of 30℃. it will _______.A. contractB. shrinkC. expandD. freeze3. Which of the following statements is true, according to thispassage?A. Only invar can be used to make a thermometer.B. Only water can be used to make a thermometer.C. Both invar and water can be used to make a thermometer.D. Neither invar nor water can be used to make a thermomete r.4. The best title of this passage is most likely to be _____.A. Temperature MeasurementB. Two ExceptionsC. Uses of InvarD.

最新高中必备英语阅读理解(人生百味)技巧全解及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble.As usual, "things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions." I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up."I decided to hang on, telling myself, "I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles." I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor's viewpoint is ________.A. offering analysesB. providing explanationsC. making comparisonsD. giving examples（2）How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out?A. UnconfidentB. IndifferentC. NervousD. Calm（3）What does the underlined phrase "water down" in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A. get rid ofB. smooth awayC. make less forcefulD. improve on（4）The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________.A. informB. persuadeC. describeD. entertain【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者的教授曾经说过，任何害怕失败和害怕面对挑战的人永远都不会尝到成功的滋味。
