高考题型·组合规范练12选择性必修第二册UNIT2阅读题组——练速度(35 mins)Ⅰ.阅读ASharks are amazing creatures.They are known as the deadliest hunters in the sea.Fortunately most are not,but there are some kinds of sharks that can be extremely dangerous.Look at these short descriptions of four kinds of sharks.The Great White SharkThe Great White Shark is one of the most frightening creatures in the sea.They live in tropical and subtropical waters,and they can grow up to 9 meters long.Most Great White Sharks are actually grey,blue or brown with a white belly,and their powerful teeth are triangles with edges like saws.The Whale SharkWhale Sharks are the largest kind of shark in the world up to 11 meters in length.They live in tropical waters all around the world,but they are not dangerous.Whale Sharks are brown or grey with white or yellow stripes.They often travel near the surface of the sea.The Mako SharkMako Sharks are fierce predators.They come from the same family of sharks as the Great White Shark and they are especially fast—they can swim at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour.They are large bluish sharks found in the Atlantic Ocean,Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean.Mako Sharks can grow up to 3 meters long.The Great Hammerhead SharkThe Great Hammerhead Shark’s most striking feature is its wide thick head which looks like a hammer.The average size of a Great Hammerhead Shark is approximately 3.5 meters,but it can grow up to 6 meters long.These sharks average over 500 pounds but can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds.Like most sharks the females are larger than the males.They have several rows of teeth that have 24 to 37 teeth per row.The Great Hammerhead Shark has a very keen sense of smell,which helps it find its prey.1.What can we learn from the text?A.Sharks usually live in icy waters.B.Mako Sharks are fast but not dangerous.C.The Great White Shark has 24 to 37 sharp teeth.D.Whale Sharks are bigger than other sharks in the sea.2.Why is a shark called the Great Hammerhead Shark?A.Because of the size of its body.B.Because of the waters it lives in.C.Because of the shape of its head.D.Because of the function of its teeth.3.From which is the text probably taken?A.A news report.B.A book review.C.An advertisement.D.A biology magazine.BA struggling Waffle House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.Ethan Crispo,24,witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov.3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham,Alabama.Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee,identified only as Ben,trying to cook the food,serve it,bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out,grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.Another customer,Alison Stanley,went behind the counter to make some coffee—still dressed from a night out on the town.“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders.“He needed help,so I got up and helped out.”Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.“We had two associates scheduled to leave,however,due to a communication mix-up,their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement.“That left Ben,our cook,alone in the restaurant with hungry customers.He worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders out.”The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,”Warner said.“There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants,and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”“We are also very thankful for Ben,who kept the restaurant open.He is a representative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”Crispo had his usual order,double plain waffle,as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.“Humanity truly isn’t good,it’s great!” he said.4.Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because .A.his associates asked for a leaveB.there was a scheduling mistakeC.few customers needed to be servedD.the restaurant was scheduled to close5.Some customers helped Ben out by .A.washing dishesB.taking photosC.taking ordersD.cooking food6.Why did the customers lend a helping hand according to Pat Warner?A.They shared the same community spirit.B.They were family members of Ben.C.They wanted to serve themselves.D.They were too hungry to wait.7.How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?A.Lucky and excited.B.Moved and inspired.C.Relieved and hopeful.D.Content and unbelievable.CCan a fish be depressed?This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish.The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of.Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness as a sign of being upset?When I sought answers from scientists,I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous,but they did not.New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知),building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assume.The neurochemistry (神经化学) is so similar that it’s scary,said Julian Pittman,a professor.We tend to think of them as simple living things,but there is a lot we don’t give fish credit for.Dr.Pittman likes working with fish,in part because they are so obvious about their depression.A zebra fish gets dropped in a new tank.If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half,it’s depressed.If it’s swimming up the top,then it’s not.Is depression the right word?There’s an obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel,says Dr.Diego A.Pizzagalli.Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depression as we know it.There is a heated debate about whether “anxious” or “depressed” is a more appropriate term.But what has convinced Dr.Pittman and others over the past ten years,is watching the way the zebra fish lose interest in just about everything:food,toys,exploration,just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn.The same is true of fish.One of the things we’re finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out,saidDr.Braithwaite.In other words,your goldfish is probably bored.To help get rid of depression,she urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching the locations of items.8.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Fish are considered simple living things.B.Pets and owners are always assumed to be the same.C.Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.D.Fish and human beings have something in common.9.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Quiet and shy.B.Happy and excited.C.Interested and careful.D.Disappointed and surprised.10.Why can fish become bored according to the text?A.They need oxygen from the air.B.They are not born to be curious.C.They lack new things to explore.D.They can’t locate the positions of items.11.What might be the best title for the text?A.Fish Depression Is Not a JokeB.Fish Can Be a Boring PetC.Fish Need Better Care MoreD.Fish Cognition Does Not ExistDWith the introduction of its new C40 Recharge on Tuesday,Volvo became the latest automaker to bet that consumers who have so far been uninterested to the idea of an EV (Electric Vehicle) might change their minds if it comes in a form of cars they love:the crossover(跨界车).Whether they do may be vital to the success of California’s plan to end sales of gasoline cars by 2035.Volvo joins Ford of Europe and Jaguar in promoting EVs,promising every car it makes and sells by 2030 will be all-electric.In a webcast to introduce the new vehicle,the company also laid out a new sale strategy—the C40 and all electric Volvo cars will be available for purchase only online.A group of electric crossovers have hit the market in recent months,including the Ford Mustang Mach-E,the Tesla Model-Y and the Volkswagen ID.4.Whether customers flock(群集) to crossover EVs will signal to regulators how much or how little work they need to do to meet the plans such as California’s.Despite the state’s aggressive plan,sales of all-electric vehicles remain less than 2% of the U.S.total.“The manufacturers are taking a calculated risk here,”said Matt DeLorenzo of auto market research firm Kelley Blue Book.“Crossovers are popular with the mainstream.That’s where the volume is.”Electric cars sold in the U.S.until recently were short-range ones or high-end luxury cars,neither one a high-volume category.In 2020,2.4 million crossovers were sold in the U.S.“If you can’t sell an electric crossover,then you’ll have trouble selling any kind of vehicle,” DeLorenzo said.To sell in large numbers,the vehicles will in the first place need continued government financial support for the next few years at least,Edmunds market analyst Caldwell said.Although battery costs are coming down,they still cost significantly more than gas engines.Although crossovers will serve as an early indicator of customer acceptance,Caldwell said she wouldn’t call 2021 a make-or-break year for EV makers.12.What does Volvo intend to do with its new C40 Recharge?A.Win more consumers on EVs.B.Help prevent California’s 2035 plan.C.Change the shape of vehicles.D.Put people’s cool ideas into reality.13.Which of the following best describe the current EV market?A.Promising.B.Declining.C.Risky.D.Attractive.14.What do we know about the EVs sold in the U.S.?A.Their sale strategies are special.B.They entered the market recently.C.Their information is available only online.D.They aren’t of a high-volume category.15.What’s vital for the sales of EVs according to Caldwell?A.Improving the service of crossovers.B.Promoting the quality of batteries.C.Getting government’s financial support.D.Making 2021 a make-or-break year.Ⅱ.七选五Are you failing school?Do you have trouble finding and holding on to a job?Are you unhappy at work?Have you been accumulating many personal debts?Are you concerned about your weight? 1 Here are some suggestions.•Stop being self-absorbed and search for a purpose that will add meaning and excitement to your life.•Move to a new neighborhood,a new town.Go to a new school;find a new gym.2•Make new friends.They will appreciate who you are,and help you find your passion,which you mightnot even know you possess.•3 To change yourself,you’ve got to change habits.According to researchers,habits account forabout 40 percent of our behaviors on any given day.When you learn to change your habits,you can change your life.•Change the “Choice Architecture” of your life.Make the desired choice most accessible to you.4If you are good at sports,you may want to live near a sports centre,and so on.If you aren’t happy with your life,change your lifestyle,your personal attitudes,and the circumstances you live in.5A.Develop good habits.B.Show them your personality.C.If so,you had better make some changes.D.In a new place,you can appreciate ways of thinking.E.In a word,you must find your element by taking action.F.Don’t constantly blame others for failing to get ahead in life.G.If you are a good dancer,you want to live near a theatre

【英语】高考英语一轮复习 专项训练 阅读理解含解析
【英语】高考英语一轮复习专项训练阅读理解含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter's long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017. Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride's hair was completely gone, and her doctor said the hair would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn't painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa's first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional jokes of "Baldy"(秃子) made her feel like an abandoned child. "I didn't want her to feel that she wasn't like the other kids," her mother said." I tried covering her baldness, but the artificial hair was uncomfortable."Then comes the school's traditional "Crazy Hair Day" in April, a great just-for-fun celebration where all the kids and their parents can express their wild sides a bit. Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hide Gianessa's baldness under the artificial hair, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. "They just fit her personality," Daniella smiled. "She's so lovely."On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother's encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. "I was sad at first when I lost all my hair," she told people. "But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can't. I'm thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some colourful butterflies and flowers. "（1）Why was Gianessa different from other kids?A.She was born bald.B.She suffered from hair loss.C.She was talented in hair designing.D.She had her head fully shaved.（2）How did others react to Gianessa's disease?A.Her doctor was quite optimistic.B.Her mother gave her artificial hair.C.Her classmates were all considerate.D.Her school offered her special help.（3）What could Gianessa do on the "Crazy Hair Day"?A.She could tease others.B.She could decorate her hair.C.She could shop scrapbook-stickers.D.She could show her personality.（4）What is the main idea of the text?A.The girl faced her disease in a most beautiful way.B.The artificial hair built up the girl's confidence.C.The competition served as a way to make a change.D.The disease was cured with mother's love and care.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个七岁的女孩Gianessa Wride得了一种疾病，掉光了头发还不可能再重新长出来，但是她终于在家人和同学们的帮助下，勇敢地展现她的个性，愉快地生活。

The Renaissance，considered by modern scholars to have been the time between 1,300 and 1,600，was a period of European history when many new inventions and beliefs came into being.The Renaissance is traced back to rich Italian cities such as Florence，Milan，and Venice.In these cities businessmen started to spend their extra money on things like painting and education，and to consider new techniques of banking and systems of government.A new type of scholar，the humanist(人文主义者)arose.Humanism was concerned with humankind and tin and Greek，literature and philosophy，music and mathematics were among the subjects humanists studied.The Renaissance gave rise to new forms of painting and sculpture.During the Renaissance，artists were no longer regarded as mere artisans(工匠)．Many artists drew on mathematics in order to become more accurate in their measurements(度量)and to make sure an object was presented in realistic proportions.They also studied the way light hits objects and the ways our eyes perceive it.A new kind of paint，called oil paint，was invented.The Renaissance affected all of the society.Many people became interested in politics，and the world outside their towns.They became explorers，businessmen，etc.The effect on religion was especially strong.In the Middle Ages people were primarily concerned with serving the church and getting to heaven.But the increase in arts and education gave people things to look forward to in life，and made them lose interest in the church.The Renaissance produced many great minds.Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest，although he was not regarded that way at the time.Among his many works of art were Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.He is also regarded as a great inventor，and is credited for coming up with the idea of the helicopter.1.

高考英语一轮复习提能练(十二)Unit2Healthyeating(含解析)
Unit 2 Healthy eatingⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·东北三省四市高考模拟) Until last year，Borris would never turn down a pork steak.By the time his owner，Annemarie Formoy，entered him in the PDSA Pet Fit Club petition，he was 28kg—almost double his remended weight.Thanks to a tailored sixmonth diet and exercise，he is now 7kg lighter.Borris，at his heaviest，was not alone.The worldwide rate of pet obesity(肥胖症) lies between 22% and 44%.The reasons are fairly predictable.Owners of overweight dogs feed them more snacks and table leftovers，are more likely to have their pets present as they prepare their own meals and are less likely to walk them daily.Owners of obese cats tend to use food as a reward and play with them less.But obesity also seems to be occurring even in some wild animals that aren't being overfed or underexercised.If these findings are true，something else must be driving obesity and uncovering those could help solve our own problems with the condition.“Labradors are consistently the headline act when it es to overweight dogs，”says Eleanor Raffan，a veterinarian and geneticist.She and fellow researchers discovered that a genetic mutation(基因变异) present in around a quarter of Labradors was associated with obesity.For each copy of the mutation—which occurred in a gene called POMC—a dog was about 2kg heavier.Most of the animals the researchers studied had one copy of the mutation，but fewer had two.“These are dogs always in the kitchen when owners are preparing food，sticking around scouring_a_titbit even if there's not much chance of getting food，or eating disgusting stuff on walks，” Raffan says.“But they're not doing that because it's fun.They're doing it because they're hungry.”That's because POMC mutations disturb the brain's function of controlling food intake and energy consumption.As a result，the behaviour of these Labradors beesvery foodmotivated.语篇解读全球宠物肥胖率在22%到44%之间，弄清楚宠物肥胖的原因对人类应对肥胖问题也很有启发。
江苏省石庄高级中学第一轮高考英语复习试题库二(阅读理解)
江苏省石庄高级中学第一轮高考英语复习试题库二（阅读理解）1阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIt came with devastating force, a natural disaster of strange intensity that shocked the world and killed tens of thousands. The waters have now receded, but disease and food and water shortages trouble a number of countries around the Indian Ocean. Millions of survivors face serious problems.The number of survivors in need of food aid after the Indian Ocean disaster has climbed to 5 million people. They stretch from Somalia to Thailand, and the figure could rise further, the United Nations has said.Relief teams hope to reach all of the estimated 700 000 hungry in Sri Lanka within three more days. It could take longer before enough food aid gets to the nearly 1 million people in need in hard-to-reach parts of Indonesia. Another serious problem is the need for purified water.Although aid had poured in from all over the world to the disaster areas,“Logistics is the big problem here—just getting the stuff out to people who need it,”said Ron Libby, emergency management specialist at the USA agency for International Development.Relief efforts are hindered by the difficulty of delivering aid to the more than 1000 islands scattered across hundreds of kilometers of ocean.For those who survived the tsunami's force, disease is now the No.1 problem. Five million people are short of water, food and basic sanitation across the region. World Health Organization(WHO) crisis chief David Navarro said 50 000 more people could die from disease and other causes, as has been the case in previous humanitarian emergencies.WHO said it had already received a handful of reports of malaria(疟疾) and dengue fever(登革热) and hundreds of reports of diarrhea(腹泻) and infected wounds. It said millions of water purification tablets had been sent to Asia,along with sanitation engineers to rebuild water sanitation infrastructure.Psychologists are warning that mental health problems caused by the tsunami could prove harder to resolve than the physical damage.Some survivors say they are plagued by recurring nightmares about walls of water. Many locals are afraid to return to beachside homes. Officials also warn that suicide rates could rise dramatically as parents struggle with guilt at losing children.Psychologists estimate that 20 to 30 per cent of people who face traumatic events eventually develop symptoms, such as alcohol abuse, lack of concentration at work and an inability to develop close relationships.Although the Thai Government has offered to build temporary beachside housing, many refugee families are refusing to come down from the hills. Others are afraid to go back to jobs on the sea.Over 150 000 people were killed by the tsunami, but hundreds and thousands more have been left with no means to earn a living.In the village of Akirapettai in India, all that is left is the twisted wreckage of the fishing fleet. Dakshina Murti, a fisherman, not only lost three family members, but also lost his boats, his nets,everything.“Everything's gone,”he says. With no government aid so far, all he has is a wreck. There are several million people who suffered the same experience. Homes have been destroyed, as well as wharves, docks, and sheds.For now, rebuilding the economy remains a distant concept.56.This passage is mainly about _________that happened around the Indian Oceans.A. the causes of the tsunamiB. the result after the tsunamiC. the sign of the tsunamiD. the warning of the tsunami答案:B解析：综合判断题，全文讲述海啸造成的后果。
高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解九月训练题(二)高三全册英语试题
入舵市安恙阳光实验学校浙江松2017高考英语一轮阅读理解（九月）训练题（二）【2016高考训练】Egypt may be walking towards a much-needed IMF loan, but that hasn’t put off some foreign partners. GB Auto, the Cairo-listed auto assembler(汽车组装公司), will begin putting together and selling cars from China’s Geely in the second quarter of 2012.GB will assemble the cars from kits(配件) supplied by Geely (the Hangzhou-based carmaker that bought Volvo in a $1.5bn deal in 2010), and will sell the finished product in markets across North Africa, beginning with Egypt. The deal is “one of several partnerships we will announce this year,” said GB’s chairman, Raouf Ghabbour, in a statement.GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai. It is now the the Middle East’s largest car assembler. High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Geely, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step in efforts to push its products out across the world, after announcing last year that it would set up a production hub（轮轴）in Indonesia to target the fast-growing Southeast Asian market. The company plans on selling at least one model in the UK by the end of 2012.While 2011 was a tough year for car sales (and pretty much everything else) in Egypt, the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt, compared to 128 in China and 109 in Morocco.GB says the tuk-tuk’s popularity in Egypt’s rural inland and informal urban slums（贫民窟）made it less influenced by a slowdown in the passenger car industry.And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草机)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.1.What is the general idea of the pasasage?A. China’s Geely is entering Egypt.B. For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step.C. GB covers much of Egyptian car selling.D. GB will assemble the cars from kits.2.Which country’s seller of cars is GB?A. China.B. Korea.C. Japan.D. Egypt3. Why do China’s Geely put their kits of cars together in a foreign country?A.A number of international auto brands.B. Several partners’ help.C. Egypt ‘s need of IMF loan.D. Too much tax.4.The re ason why they mention the figure about China and Morocco’s cars is______.A. To learn from them easily.B. To show China and Morocco’s strength.C. To show GB has a good future.D. To beat China and Morocco in selling.5. The tuk-tuk’s ad vantage is______.A. That its kits came from China.B. That its engine is smaller than others.C. GB assemble them carefully.D.

Scientists in UK have grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston University created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. "The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells.Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said，"We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research."1. UK scientists grow a living human "brain" in order to ______.A. study the structure of human brainB. make use of living human cell systemC. discover how human brain really worksD. separate cells from a cancer tumour2. According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.A. will get finished as early as possibleB. will make people discover dementiaC. will affect the brain growth in many waysD. will help to treat some diseases in nerve system3.

(The Most Important of All Human Qualities is a Sense of Humor)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, ‘Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.’A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take thewind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors att ack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be singled out as man’s most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative – these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1.The most important of all human qualities is[A] a sense of humor.A sense of satire.[C] A sense of laughter.[D] A sense of history.2.The author mentions about Charlie C haplin’s early films because[A] they can amuse people.Human beings are different from animals.[C] They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal.[D] They show that people have the same ability to laugh.3.One of the chief functions of irony and satire is[A] to show absurdity of actions.to redress balance.[C] to take the wind out of politicians.[D] to show too much grimness in the world.4.What do we learn from the sentence ‘it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in t otalitarian regimes?’[A] It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.It can arouse people to riot.[C] It shows tragedy and comedy are related.[D] It can make people laugh.5.Who is Swift?[A] A novelist.A poet.[C] A dramatist.[D] A essayist.Vocabulary1.devoid 没有，缺乏2.plague n.瘟疫，惹人烦恼的人和事v.给……造成麻烦，痛苦，困难3.faction 派别4 ic stereotype 可笑/滑稽的模式5 mentator 〔集注〕作者，评论员，解说员6.tinkle n.一连串的丁零声，声，v.使发出丁零声7.fanatic 狂热者〔尤指宗教、政治的狂热〕8.lop-sided 不均匀的9.hover 翱翔，盘旋；彷徨10.somber 低沉的，暗淡的，严峻的11.redress 纠正，补偿12.pompous 自大的，浮夸的13.arrogant 傲慢的14.proportion 均衡，匀称，平衡，比例15.Lilliputian 微型的，极小的，源自《格列佛游记》中的小人国里的人16.totalitarian 极权主义的17.regime 政体，政权，统治方式或制度难句译注1．In a divided world, laughter is a unifying force.【参考译文】在分裂的世界中，笑是一种促成一致〔团结〕的力量。

1 山西五台县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础选练（二） 阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 体裁：记叙文 话题：助人为乐 时间：15分钟 On a cold winter day，a group of strangers band together to save three children.
The 30 miles of switchbacks(急转弯) that snake through the pinecovered mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Roger Andersen，a 46yearold father of four，wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve，when he set off for an unexpected ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia，fouryearold son Baylor，and nineyearold neighbor Kenya Wildman.Andersen had driven through the canyon hundreds of times over the years. “We ski in that area at least 20 times a year，” says Andersen.“I know the spots that ice up a lot in the winter.” The weather was glorious for hitting the slopes—30 degrees and sunny—but the higher they drove，the slicker(滑溜溜的) the roads became.Rounding a sharp turn at mile maker 473，Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and tapped his brakes(刹车) suddenly.In an instant，the Honda Accord was sliding at 25 miles per hour toward the shoulder of the highway，then slipping down a steep tenfoot embankment(路堤) toward the cold Logan River.As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. There was no time to tell the kids what to do.The crash had broken a few windows，and within seconds，the cab of the upsidedown car was filled with water.“It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen，a softspoken product development manager.“You're thinking，‘Is this how it's all going to end？'” Then，Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids.Mia had been right next to him in the front seat；now，in the blackness，he couldn't find her.“I thought，if I don't get out，maybe none of us is going to get out.” Andersen untied his seat belt，swam through a broken window，and gasped for air at the surface.That's when he saw a group of men，about ten in all，appear at the top of the embankment.One after another，they jumped into the water，shouting,“Who else is in the car？”Andersen says respectfully,“It was like the sight of angels.” 【语篇导读】 Andersen的车不幸落入冰冷的河水中，一群素昧平生的人对车里的人展开了一场生死营救…… 1．Which word can best describe the feelings of most drivers when driving on this slope? A．Nervous. B．Curious. C．Excited. D．Puzzled. 解析 推理判断题。第二段提到这段30英里的路急转弯多，足以让多数司机手心出汗(are enough to make 2
most drivers' hands sweat)，据此可推知，多数司机开车走在这段路上的时候应该都非常紧张，故选择A。 答案 A 2．What Andersen says in Paragraph 4 shows that ______. A．he is used to driving on such a dangerous road B．he has great confidence in driving on this steep road C．he likes to ski on such a steep downhill road D．he would not meet such trouble as other drivers did 解析 推理判断题。由Andersen说的话可知，他一年要在该地区滑雪至少20次，也对该地区冬天的情况很了解，由此推测他走这条路时十分有信心，故选择B。 答案 B 3．How did Andersen escape from the crashed car at last? A．He was saved with the help of some passersby. B．He swam out of a broken window. C．He broke a window nearby. D．He drove his car out of the water. 解析 细节理解题。从文章最后一段可知，Andersen在车里找不到孩子，自己松开安全带，从一个破的车窗里游了出来，故选择B。 答案 B 4．Andersen's attitude toward these men's rescuing the children might be that of______. A．doubt B．satisfaction C．sympathy D．appreciation 解析 推理判断题。从最后一段Andersen的回答“It was like the sight of angels.”可推知，Andersen 对这些人的见义勇为是非常感激的，故选择D。 答案 D 【长难句解读】 原文 As it hit the water，the car tipped toward the passenger side，hesitated，and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river. 译文 当接触到水面时，车子向副驾驶那一边倾斜，稍停了一下，然后底朝天跌入河中。 分析 这是一个复合句，As引导时间状语从句，the car tipped...为主句，其中的四个动词为并列谓语，表示按时间依次发生的动作。
阅读下列短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Anger at the practice of demanding dowries, which can lead to violence against brides, has prompted a takeoff of “Angry Birds” called “Angry Brides” that aims to highlight the illegal 3
practice still prevalent in many South Asian countries. Dowries-such as jewelry, clothes, cars and money-are traditionally given by the bride’s family to the groom and his parents to ensure she is taken care of in her new home. The custom was outlawed more than five decades ago. But it is still widely practiced, with the groom’s family demanding even more money after marriage, leading to mental and physical annoyance that can drive the woman to suicide. “The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotlight on the nuisance(陋习)of dowry.” said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for Shaadi.com, a matrimonial(婚姻的)website with two million members. “According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India, We condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue”. The name of the app, available on the group’s home page, is a spinoff from the globally popular “Angry Birds” game, Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: “A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need ……NOT dowry!” To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms--a pilot, a builder and a doctor. There are a variety of weapons to choose from, including a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer. Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1.5 million rupees($29,165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player’s Anti-Dowry Fund ,which is saved posted on their Facebook page. “Since we launched the game last week, more than 270,000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it”, said Bhamidi. 66.What caused “Angry Brides” to appear online? A.Women’s rights’being seriously abused. B.Anger at the practice of demanding dowries. C.The bride’s giving a great many dowries. D.The popularity of Angry Birds online. 【答案】B 【解析】根据第一段第一句可知“嫁妆有时会导致对新娘的暴力， 由于对索要嫁妆的愤怒引起了对“愤怒
