能力提升题组训练(B) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A There was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals a day was a luxury.Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books.She would wear overly long dresses to school so her classmates wouldn’t notice her bare feet. Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs.daughters should be raised.However,a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side.The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school.Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either,she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework,and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks.She could have complained her fate and quit school.Instead,she chose to look at it as extra practice. Invariably,she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school,fighting against her circumstances all the way,every single day. It was the night before finals.She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal.It represented an entire year’s worth of her work.She was so absorbed in her schoolwork that she forgot to look at the clock.It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet.That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove.Through blurry eyes,she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames.In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading,she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side,and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous owners as unusable.She then measured and hand-cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of 100 pages. She could have broken down beyond hope at this point.Instead,when life handed her lemons,she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted. She served her father dinner,and after he went to bed,she set about recreating an entire year’s worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp,because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying.This time,she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded.She still ended up topping her class anyway.She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math,Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry.She made the best lemonade in her life! 1.Which of the following is TRUE? A.The girl’s father treated her very well. B.The girl stole paper from her colleague. C.The girl complained her life and quit school. D.The girl ranked No.1 when she graduated. 2.Why her father was so angry? A.The girl didn’t cook for him. B.The girl didn’t do well at school. C.The girl made the lemonade. D.The girl wasted electricity studying. 3.Which of the following words can best describe the girl? A.poor and complaining B.determined and hardworking C.forgetful and careless D.sympathetic and helpful 4.What is the best title of this passage? A.A Brave Young Girl B.Be Yourself C.The Best Lemonade in Life D.Study is Very Important 语篇解读:本文是记叙文,讲述了一位出身贫寒但一直努力奋斗成才的女孩的故事。 答案及剖析: 1.D 细节理解题。由最后一段中She still ended up topping her class anyway.She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math,Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry.的描述可知女孩在班上是第一名。故D正确。 2.A 细节理解题。由第四段中She was so absorbed in her schoolwork that she forgot to look at the clock.It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet.That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove.可知,女孩太专注于学业从而忘记了给他父亲做饭从而惹怒了他。 3.B 推理判断题。通读全文可知女孩既坚强又勤奋。 4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段给出点睛之笔“She made the best lemonade in her life!” B (2018扬泰联考) To understand one of the secrets of creativity,just peek (窥视) into an art classroom in Denver,Colorado.The teacher asks her pupils to imitate the style of Vassily Kandinsky.The students copy Kandinsky’s art style,mastering brushwork and learning colour theory. If that was all there were to the lesson,it would be a hands-on class in art history.But the art teacher asks the students to cut up their paintings and build 3D sculptures out of the pieces.They have all started with the same source,but their works all end up looking extremely different:some rise straight up in a column,while others are a jigsaw (相互交错) of different forms and angles.The students learn to treat the past not as a landing point,but as a launching pad. Creativity doesn’t come out of the blue.No idea is ever wholly original;there is always a link from the known to the new.We rely on culture to provide us with a storehouse of raw materials which we then transform.Each generation adds another layer to the cliffside of history. One of the keys to developing inventiveness is not to treat the past as sacred.Beethoven didn’t write symphonies because he thought there was anything wrong with Mozart’s.Picasso didn’t paint variations on canvases by Velsquez and Manet because he rejected the old masters,but rather because he admired them.While we sometimes tinker (修补) with the imperfect,we also remake what we love,showing our admiration for the past by passing down its DNA. Sometimes inventors attempt to cover their tracks.Stravinsky denied that The Rite of Spring,his revolutionary ballet,included any actual folk tunes,but scholars found a volume of them in his library after his death. Creative minds always start from a precedent (先例) and move from there,but how far should they go?The challenge is that staying too close to the familiar can dissatisfy,while wandering too far can fail to find followers. Thomas Edison made small changes to the telephone,dramatically improved the lightbulb—and at the far end imagined underwater cities powered by solar energy.The designer Norman Bel Geddes designed a host of practical products,such as cocktail shakers and furniture

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018扬州大市高三二模) Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture.In ancient times,not only towns and villages,but also the houses and the temples were surrounded with walls.Also,the houses had no windows overlooking the street.Thus, walking in a city would give the feeling of wandering around a huge maze (迷宫).The word “city” in Chinese also means “wall”.The god of walls and mounts,whose duty was,and still is,to protect and be responsible for the welfare of the residents in these cities,villages,houses and temples.So a great and extremely hard task such as constructing a wall,which was supposed to run the length of the country,might not sound absurd(荒诞的).However,it is indeed a common mistake to think of the Great Wall as a single building structure,and it would also be a mistake to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.Actually,several dynasties somehow contributed to the construction of the Great Wall,the foundations of which had been laid many centuries ago.It was during the fourth and third centuries BC that Warring States started building walls to protect their kingdoms,both against one another and against the northern nomads (游牧民族).The Great Wall played an important role in the growth of Chinese economy in history.Many settlements were established along the new border.Armies were instructed to reclaim (开垦) wasteland and to plant crops there.Also,roads and canals were built.All of the work greatly helped increase the country’s trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas and also with the southern,central and western parts of Asia.1.According to the passage,constructing a wall running the length of the country .A.was an order from the god of walls and mountsB.was a completely absurd taskC.might make sense within Chinese cultureD.seriously prevented the spread of Chinese culture2.The second paragraph is mainly about .A.how the Great Wall was constructedB.why the Great Wall is so popularC.how advanced the Great Wall wasD.who should pay a visit to the Great Wall3.We can learn from the last paragraph that .A.most ancient people don’t like the Great WallB.the Great Wall promoted trade in China and abroadC.the Great Wall was most famous in the western part of AsiaD.people nowadays should protect the Great Wall for its use in trade语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了城墙在中国文化中的重要性及长城的建造及其在中国历史上对经济文化的促进。

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018桂林全程模拟) Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing unique local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass.” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination of the English words smile and silence.Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at the misuse of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favored by some English-speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. He said, “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from the Chinese culture.”However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and eliminate(消除) Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barriers for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.1.What can we call Chinglish?A.The English words which get new Chinese meanings.B.The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.C.The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.D.The local words preventing foreigners to learn Chinese well.2.Who will be called “out man” according to the passage?A.A person who knows little about Chinglish words.B.A student who hates learning foreign languages.C.A tourist who fails to understand local translations.D.An expert who doesn’t support Chinglish at all.3.What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?A.It can show the humor of Chinese.B.It will attract more foreign tourists.C.It helps him to learn Chinese well.D.It seems part of Chinese culture.4.Chinglish is likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing because .A.it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and EnglishB.Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and EnglishC.it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreignersD.Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish语篇解读:本文介绍了“中式英语”的特征及发展状况和趋势。

能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018武汉高三调研) When I graduated from the University of Iowa last year,I did something my friends did not understand.I left Iowa,where I had friends and stability,to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco.At school,I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked,“Why on earth are you leaving?”Well,at graduation I was presented with two things—a degree in psychology and a question.It was the same one that many in my generation got:“What do I do now?”It was as difficult as it was common.That’ s because many people at my age were raised with the same words,repeated over and over by parents,teachers and TV,that“you can be whatever you want to be”.As a young boy,every time when I was puzzled about my future,they would say that they would be happy if I was happy.However,what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea,for example,“be a doctor,or be a bus driver”.My experience was by no means universal.Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power.As a goal,this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”.The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill,rather assuming that something would magically happen to overcome their problems.They often get a real shock when they enter the “real world” and find that their options are very limited.Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating,or have moved back in with their parents.My life on the boat is hard at times,especially during storms.But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own.I’m not buying into my nation’s idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of today’s youth.1.Why were the friends confused about the writer’s leaving?A.He was tired of driving.B.He suddenly quit school.C.He would lose his friends.D.He would lead a changing life.2.What does the writer think of the guidance he got from American society?A.It’s specific.B.It’s wrong.C.It’s general.D.It’s correct.3.What directly caused a lot of Americans to have jobs lower than their expectations?A.Their achievable goals.B.The practical guidance.C.Being shocked by the real world.cking professional competence.语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I'll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. ""Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us."May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We're fine.”Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The Mckay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the Mckay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?”I asked, still confused. "Well, it's our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! ""There's some really good stuff up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McKay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McKay Museum?""Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.""That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall.

However, since April in 2017, the small island of just 2,700 residents has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the settlements on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms. There were only rocks and rock pools left. For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores. The area's tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well. Then around Easter in 2017, something magical happened—an unusual ten-day tide blanketed the barren 300-meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature with their own eyes. However, Sean Molloy, manager at Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand coming in, we don't know how safe the beach is now because currents (水流) could be changed and it'll take a little bit of time. ”He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act. It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927. However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.28.

These bruises were the result of “cupping (拔火罐) therapy”，a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy. Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since, reported ABC News. Another US swimmer, Dana Vollmer, also believes that “it really helps with blood flow”．However, some have said that the supposed health effects result from people's feeling that the treatment works, rather than any physical effect of the treatment. To figure out cupping therapy has any physical effect, last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a false treatment was provided.In the study, the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the false treatment. But in the false treatment, the cups had a hole at the top so that they couldn't create the proper suction (吸力)．The tested patients, who suffered from a disorder that caused a lot of pain, were told that they would receive either traditional cupping or “soft cupping”. But they were not informed that what called “soft cupping” was a false treatment.It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received. In both groups, patients also experienced about the same reductio ns in pain. “ The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，”the researchers told the Live Science website.The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered. “But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people, the therapy can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises, nutritional choices and lifestyle changing,” Dr Brent Bauer, director of the US Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic, told Live Science.32. Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in the passage?A．To give athletes a new way to swim faster.B．To introduce the topic on cupping therapy.C．To provide athletes with a new way of treatment.D．To show swimmers suffer from disorders.33. The purpose of the test by researchers from Germany was to ________.A．promote the health effects of cupping therapyB．compare traditional cupping with soft cuppingC．see whether cupping therapy has a physical effectD．compare cupping therapy's effects on different groups of people34. What can be learned from the passage?A．Different people need different types of cupping therapy.B．The real treatment and false treatment almost have the same effects.C．The results show that cupping therapy is not part of the treatment.D．Cupping therapy is only effective when used with lifestyle changing.35. According to Dr Brent Bauer, cupping therapy ________.A．is a fast and easy treatment for people to carry outB．is a newly invented way to cure some diseasesC．needs a long period of time to take effectD．can be used together with other treatments第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
