AIf you have the opportunity to visit some places in New Zealand, then the list below is our recommendation.Fiordland National ParkThis park is part of the South Westland World Heritage Area and is New Zealand’s largest national park and one of the largest in the world. The scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of extremely beautiful, with steep mountains, wild waterfalls, and abundant rain forests. Being able to come back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.The area has some of the w orld’s greatest walks including the world famous Milford Track, which was described as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth century.Abel Tasman National ParkAbel Tasman may be New Zealand’s smallest national park, but the attractions are huge. Located in one of New Zealand’s sunniest spots, the area also has the best beaches in the country.The popular Abel Tasman Walk is a great way to see this park. It takes 3-5 days to complete. Sea taxis are also available and can drop you off at any number of beaches within the park.RotoruaAccessible from New Zealand’s biggest city, Auckland, Rotorua is famous for its volcanic activities. Rotorua is also famous for its plentiful lakes which are great for swimming and fishing. The surrounding area contains plenty of native bushes and some famous walks.Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori culture.Mt Cook National ParkMt Cook as well as the surrounding area is an alpine(高山的) park within the World Heritage listed in South Westland. The biggest peaks in all of Australasia are here. The park doesn’t contain many trees or plants due to the altitude. Walks range from a two­hour walk to difficult tracks suitable for ex perienced mountaineers only.A helicopter or plane ride gives visitors excellent views of the mountains with the option of landing at the top of Tasman Glacier, a true permanent snow­covered alpine environment.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了新西兰值得游玩的几个地方。

2019高考英语配套练习(32)中华传统文化增分练_阅读理解1 (2)

精编优选练(三十二)中华传统文化语篇专题——阅读理解1(限时:30分钟)AThere are mainly four great traditional cuisines that are viewed as representatives of Chinese culinary (烹饪的) skills.ShandongIt is all about local, fresh ingredients and the stars are the seafood, including scallops, prawns, clams, sea cucumbers, and squid. Other commonly used ingredients include maize, peanuts, millet, wheat, oat, and a distinct type of vinegar. Quick­fried, stir­fried, stewed and braised items are among the more than thirty cooking techniques of Shandong cuisine.GuangdongAuthentic Cantonese cuisine is among the most adventurous in China in terms of variety of ingredients as the Cantonese are famous, even among the Chinese, for their extremely wide definition of what is considered edible (可食用的). Sauces, like hoisin, oyster sauce, sweet and sour sauce are predominant in Cantonese cuisine which produces light, sweet, tender and crisp dishes.SichuanSaying Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy is an understatement. Mouth­numbing (麻嘴的) and sw eat­inducing, one can easily become addicted to the Sichuan peppercorns and dry peppers. Also sweat­inducing but in a different way is the Sichuan (as well as Chongqing) hotpot—perfect for the winter yet beloved by locals in the summer. The uniqueness of its cuisine also resides in its two cooking methods, the dry­braising (焖) and the dry­stewing.HuaiyangConsidered a sub­regional style of the Jiangsu region, which also claims Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisine as descendants, Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for the delicateness of the dishes as well as the liberal use of sugar. Chefs of Huaiyangcuisine are more concerned with the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the “large plate contains everything” mentality typical of northern Chinese cuisine. Representative dishes include tofu noodles, Beggar's Chicken, congee, Yangzhou fried rice and braised meatballs.Another standout is the crab soup dumplings.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国四大传统烹饪技术。

全国名校最新模拟题(共八篇)Passage 1 (2022届东北三省四市教研联合体高考模拟)Take a good look at the American burying beetle(甲虫)Once found in 35 states, the insect is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the American burying beetle has orange and black stripes(条纹); like the tiger, the beetle is declining in number. The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species preservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.This difference is an example of the domination of the so-called celebrity species—the fascinating creatures that nonprofits and government agencies use to raise public interest in conservation. Most nonprofit funds for animal protection go to species such as apes, elephants, big cats, rhinoceroses, and giant pandas. Tigers are often rated the most popular animal—and India, home to the majority of these big cats, spent more than 49 million on tiger conservation alone in 2019. Meanwhile, many lesser known species of fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds weaken in namelessness. Worldwide, more than 35, 500 plant and animal species are on the edge of disappearing forever.This leaves us with a tough situation. Conservation is underfunded, so how do we decide which species to save?One potential solution, the debatable idea of conservation triage(检伤分类), holds that experts need to quickly decide which species can be saved while realizing that others can’t be saved. Conservationists have developed analytical tools to approach the question in a less emotional, more practical way. Fish and Wildlife Service now uses this knapsack (背包)method—inspired by a hiker’s need to fit the most valuable items into a small space—to get the “most bang for their buck” in saving species. The method calculates the most efficient conservation strategies using factors such as costs to recover a species and its likelihood of going extinct.8.What does the first paragraph serve to the whole passage?A.To propose a definition B.To introduce the topicC.To reach a conclusion D.To present an argument9.What is the author’s attitude to the lesser known species?A.Concerned.B.Unclear.C.Optimistic D.Indifferent.10.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Damage to the environment.B.Hard work for a goal.C.Best value for money.D.Most fun from the hike.11.What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph?A.Causes of some animals’ endangerment.B.Other methods of deciding which species to save.C.The authorities’ role in reasonable use of funds.D.An appeal to save the American burying beetle.Passage 2 ( 2023届江西省南昌市高三零模英语试题)Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.”A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.”Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).At her present age, a grand plie-lowering to the floor with bent knees-seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. ”I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said.Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton.4.How did Leverton feel after taking her dance lesson?A.Tired.B.Confused.C.Shocked.D.Thrilled.5.Why didn’t Leverton learn to dance she was young?A.Her family was badly off.B.She wasn’t able to leap high.C.Her family laughed at her dream.D.She had to focus on classes.6.What did dancing bring to Leverton?A.A team award.B.Money and fame.C.Friendship and joy.D.A medical treatment.7.What can we learn from Leverton’s story?A.Hard work pays off.B.Never too old to pursue dreams.C.Interest is the key to success.D.Money isn’t everything.Passage 3 (2023届粤湘鄂名校联盟高三上学期第一次联考英语试题)It is lunchtime. At a long table inside a restaurant, some young people sit together over lunch. There is less conversation than you might expect from a typical group of friends: a boy seems to talk only to himself, and a girl looks anxious.These young people met through a program organized by the nonprofit Actionplay, where young people with autism work together to write and stage a musical. Each Sunday, they work and have lunch together. “You meet other people just like you,” says Lexi Spindel. “That was the first time my daughter had a friend,” says Lexi’s father. “That never happened before Actionplay.”For decades, scientists have supposed people with autism don’t have or need friends. A new research is forcing a rethink of those long-held beliefs. Autistic people report they want friends. One significant barrier to friendships is common people’s opinion that autistic people are not interested in connecting with them. Appearing uninterested, however, is not always the same as being uninterested. An autistic child looking uninterested in games may in fact be overcome by the noise. And behaviors like clapping hands repeatedly are a way to manage their anxiety and uncertainty, not a sign of their low social interest.For some autistic people, friendships develop through experimental programs. In a program Lerner developed, participants play a game called Gibberish. where teenagers must interpret each other’s intentions without using real language. The point is not to get it right. but to attend to what the other person is doing in a way that creates opportunities to connect.Lerner’s ideas were inspired by a moment 16 years ago after he established a small camp for children with autism called Spotlight. On the second day an l1-year-old boy ran up and pulled his clothes. “Lerner, Lerner, where did you find these kids?”“All over the place,” Lerner answered. “Everyone wants to come to camp, just like you.”“This is the first normal group of kids I have never met.” the boy said.12.The scene in paragraph 1 is described to ________.A.reveal the lack of an interpersonal conversationB.prove the difficulty in reducing teenage anxietyC.stress the great necessity of forming friendshipsD.show the different behavior of a particular group13.What is Actionplay aimed at?A.Curing young people of autism.B.Developing autistic people’s taste in art.C.Offering autistic people a social platform.D.Improving young people’s family relationship.14.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A.Autistic people have no intention to make friends.B.Noise sets barriers to autistic people’s views on games.C.Repetitive movements make autistic people feel secure.D.Common beliefs cause autistic people’s low social interest.15.What does the underlined sentence imply?A.He feels at ease with his autistic fellows.B.He no longer regards himself as an autistic kid.C.Lerner’s guidance helps him get out of autism.D.Autistic kids don’t long to socialize with normal ones.Passage 4 (2023届浙江省杭州第二中学新高三上学期适应性测试英语试题)Although it is a business not many are aware of, sidewalk robots are set to become an industry with annual sales of $Ibn within a decade, reckons IDTechEx, a British firm of analysts. These four-or six-wheeled autonomous machines, usually the size of a suitcase, are already delivering groceries and other goods in America, China and Europe.That puts them ahead of many driverless cars, vans and lorries being developed. Those bigger vehicles are held back not by technology but regulation, says Zehao Li of IDTechEx. So having a "safety driver" on board ready to take over if there is a problem, which is hardly labor-saving.For these larger contraptions regulators want to see safety systems thoroughly proved. But there are legal hurdles, too. In January Britain's Law Commission, which reviews legislation, recommended that it should not be the person in the driver's seat who faces prosecution if a vehicle in autonomous mode crashes, but the manufacturer or body that sought approval for its use.Meanwhile, sidewalk robots are getting on with the job. Among them, Starship Technologies, based in San Francisco, reckons it has already clocked up more than 2.5m deliveries with bots in a number of cities, university campuses and business parks in Europe and America. Amazon is carrying out trials with a similar sort of machine it calls Scout. Kiwibot, a Colombian startup, is making sidewalk deliveries in Califomia.Typically, these robots carry a few bags of groceries using a variety of sensors, including cameras, radar and GPS to navigate and avoid obstacles and people. Their progress can be monitored on a phone app, which also unlocks them for goods to be retrieved. As they are small. move slowly(Starship's bots might reach a heady 6kph) and are "telemonitored" by people in a control room who can take over, authorities seem more willing to give them a green light.Such robots are also becoming more autonomous. In January Serve Robotics, another San Franciscan firm whose backers include Uber, a ride-hailing giant, said it had deployed a new sidewalk bot with "level 4"autonomy, which means it can operate without telemonitoring in some predesignated areas.Robotic versions which operate on roads but have no driver's cab are also appearing. Nuro, a Silicon Valley firm, makes one about the size of a small car that can carry 24 bags of groceries. It has chilled and heated compartments for food and drinks. Further along the road in earning their keep, these delivery bots are helping to pave the way for the time when bigger autonomous vehicles can join them.8.What can we learn from paragraph one?A.Sidewalk robots are portable like a suitcase.B.In the past decade, Ibn dollars have been invested into industry.C.The delivery industries of the US, China and Europe are dependent on sidewalk robots.D.The industry of sidewalk robot is expanding unknowingly.9.According to the passage, who should be responsible for automatic driving car accidents?A.Safety drivers seated in the driver's seat.B.Every passenger except the driver.C.Organizations supportive of autonomous mode.D.Manufacturers and bodies seeking approval for using safety drivers.10.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph four mean?A.reached B.designedC.bought D.invented11.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Amazon is using Scout to deliver groceries for people.B.If groceries are wrongly delivered, robots can take them back.C.Some robots may deliver groceries with no one telemonitoring them.D.Both cold and hot food can be preserved inside a sidewalk robot developed by Nuro.Passage 5 (北京市第八十中学2022-2023学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题)When Kirk Alexander went missing for 11 days, an unlikely savior came to his rescue: his neighborhood pizza store.Almost every night for more than ten years, Kirk Alexander, 48, of Salem, Oregon ordered a late dinner from his local Domino’s pizza store. He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes a pie, sometimes chicken wings. The only sure thing for the staff of the Silverton Road Domino’s was that they would see Alexander’s name show up on their online ordering site sometime between 11 p. m. and midnight several times a week.Until suddenly, for nearly two weeks at the end of April 2016, they didn’t.It was a slow Saturday night on May 7th when Domino’s general manager Sarah Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander’s recent absence.“I went and looked up to see how long it had been since he last ordered,” Fuller told KATU. com. “It was 11 days, which was not like him at all.”Fuller knew Alexander worked from home, and neighbors said he rarely left. She also knew that he had suffered some health issues in the past. Something, Fuller worried, was wrong.Around 1 a. m. on Sunday, May 8, Fuller sent longtime delivery driver Tracey Hamblen to stop in at Alexander’s home. Hamblen approached Alexander’s door as he had countless times before and knocked. He could plainly see that Alexander’s TV set was on, as were his lights; but after several minutes, Alexander still didn’t answer the door.Hamblen rushed back to the store to relay the upsetting developments to Fuller. She encouraged Hamblen to dial 911. Soon, officers were on their way.When deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s office arrived at Alexander’s house, they heard a man calling for help from inside the residence, deputies said. They broke the door down, and found Alexander on the floor in need of immediate medical attention. One day later, and they might have been too late.Alexander was rushed to Salem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition shortly after the dramatic rescue. In the following weeks, Fuller, Hamblen, and other store employees went to visit him with flowers and cards, noting that Alexander greeted them with knowing smiles.24.How did Fuller sense that something was wrong?A.She knew Alexander had serious health problems.B.Alexander hadn’t ordered chicken wings for nearly 2 weeks.C.Alexander had never before broken his routine in the store for 10 years.D.Alexander had disappeared from the store’s ordering system for about 2 weeks.25.What can you infer from the underlined sentence?A.Hamblen was fond of knocking at Alexander’s door.B.Hamblen was more than an acquaintance to Alexander.C.Every time Hamblen arrived at Alexander’s house, he would knock first.D.When Hamblen had enough time in the past, he would go to Alexander’s house.26.The saying we can learn from the story is________.A.Better late than neverB.Born in distress, die in peaceC.Details determine success or failureD.Even the wise are not always free from errorPassage 6 (甘肃省武威市凉州区部分校联考2022-2023学年高三上学期第二次诊断) The first time that I met a blind scientist. I worked in a program for disabled students interested in pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) research. Until that point, it had never occurred to me how blind students were prevented from receiving science education. My daily experience in classrooms consisted of professors drawing and writing on the board with the assumption that students in the class could see. But what about those students who cannot see or suffer from vision problems?A recent paper from Baylor University, led by Katelyn Baumer and Bryan Shaw, was inspired by exactly this problem.They designed a study to assess whether people could learn to recognize 3D models, like those often used to teach science, with their mouths instead of with their eyes.A 202l paper in Nature found that primates(灵长类动物)showed the same brain circuit activation(激活)when grasping objects with their hands and when moving an object with their tongues.This indicates that there may be underlying similarities of physical manipulations(操纵)of the hand and the mouth.Baumer and Shaw found that there was comparable touch recognition with hands to mouth manipulation recognition when using these models. 365 college students and 31 primary school students participated in the study. The participants were blindfolded and then divided into two groups, one assigned to manipulate objects by hand, and one to manipulate the objects with only their mouths. Each participant was given a single model protein to study. They then were asked to identify whether each of a set of eight other protein models matched the original they were given.The research team saw that both age groups of students were able to successfully distinguish between models. Moreover, the accuracy of recalling the structures was higher in people who only assessed the models through mouth manipulation.Although this study did not involve blind or low-vision students, it sets the basis for expanding into them next. It may offer a way to have science become more accessible, which is the ultimate goal.8.Who will most probably benefit from Baumer and Shaw’s study?A.Professors.B.College students.C.Primary school students.D.Blind and low-vision students.9.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A.Explain a concept to readers.B.Provide supporting information.C.Summarize the previous paragraphs.D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.10.What method is used in the study?A.Making comparisons.B.Doing surveys.C.Conducting interviews.D.Reviewing papers.11.What is the text mainly about?A.A recent paper about STEM education.B.A protein model used in science teaching.C.A potential way for disabled students to learn science.D.An academic program for blind scientists to do research.Passage 7 (河北省衡水市部分学校2022-2023学年高三上学期9月月考)When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on difficult news stories. Now Hilde has written a book telling her own story, and sharing some of the challenges she faced.Hilde Kate Lysiak’s father was a reporter for the New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, and she developed a strong interest in news stories and reporting. When she was 8, Hilde started her own newspaper, called the Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street. Hilde did the writing, her sister Izzy took pictures, and her father helped her organize and print the newspaper. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper.OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were doing stories on Hilde. Some people criticized her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Some people even suggested she should be playing with dolls.Hilde was upset by the complaints. She responded with a You Tube video. “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I’m sure other kids do, too.” That wasn’t the last time Hilde had trouble getting people to take her seriously. Sometimes, it was because of her age. Other times, it was because she was a girl. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.Hilde’s activities as a reporter have made her famous, and she has earned several awards. With her father, Hilde has written a series of books for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case. The books are based loosely on stories that Hilde wrote. The books have now been turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark.4.What caused Hilde to be interested in news reporting?A.Her unusual writing skills.B.Her experience with her father at work.C.Her mother’s encouragement.D.Her passion for reading newspapers.5.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.Hilde took pride in the Orange Street News.B.All the media misunderstood Hilde’s behaviour.C.Not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts.D.Unpleasant stories were prohibited from being reported.6.Which of the following can be used to describe Hilde?A.Determined.B.Adaptable.C.Awkward.D.Reliable.7.What is probably the best title for the text?A.Challenges Hilde Faced When She Was YoungB.A Biographical Novel Written by Hilde LysiakC.The Orange Street News: a Popular NewspaperD.Hilde Lysiak: Young Reporter Tells Her Own StoryPassage 8 (河南省南阳市第一中学校2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次月考)Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone's lived experience-but it’s not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”If you try to banish anxiety, all you're doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that hardship is an indispensable part of life. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52-year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn’t let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don’t go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off as well.

You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe duringthe 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用,当人们发明了电以后,风能被用来发电,但随着电旳广泛使用,风车逐渐不被人们使用了.而进入二十世纪七十年代后,人们又逐渐认识到了风能旳优势.5.From the text we know that windmills ________.A. were invented by European armiesB. have a history of more than 2,800 yearsC. used to supply power to radio in remote areasD. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered答案:C.细节理解题.由第一段最后两句话可知风车首先是在古代伊朗被使用,故排除A 项;公元前七世纪到现在应是不足2800年,故排除B项;由第二段当中旳第二、三句话可以排除D项,同时也能知道C项是正确旳.6.What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th centuryA.

The advantages of wind power.B. The design of wind power plants.C. The worldwide movement to save energy.D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.答案:D.推理判断题.文章最后一句话“如今,出现了一个全球化旳运动,要通过风能旳利用来提供越来越多旳电力”,表明作者会就这个话题继续展开.C(·北京卷,C)Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer,as it holds all of my writing and this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device(设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to students assume that I am anti­technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between course material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I realize that with deepconversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change,I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology­free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.本文是一篇议论文.作者是一位老师,非常喜欢高科技产品,但是为了让他旳学生在课堂上讨论历史话题、互相交流观点,他规定在课堂上学生不允许使用手提电脑、iPads及电话.刚开始学生不能理解,但是后来在对学生旳学习评估中,学生对这一方法还是非常满意旳.9.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________.A. the course materialB. others' misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author's class regulations答案:D.细节理解题.由第二段旳“When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them wer e not happy .”可知D项正确.10.The underlined word “engage ”in probably means ________.A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. reject答案: A.词义猜测题.根据第四段旳“I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.”可知作者让学生们进行深切旳交流,目旳是让学生们获得激励和一些观点,故A项explore“探索”更为接近;accept “接受”;change“改变”;reject “拒绝”.11.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in­depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students' concentration on course evaluation答案: A.推理判断题.由第四段旳“Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas .”可知在教室内使用高科技产品使学生们对于外界信息过于依赖,不能独立思考.12.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonv1.0 可编辑可修改D. values technology­free dialogues in his class答案: D.推理判断题.由最后一段旳最后一句话可知作者对自己旳不使用高科技产品让学生进行对话旳方法是满意旳.D(·陕西卷,A)这是一则关于“PALACE THEATRE & OPERA HOUSE”旳广告.介绍“Live Card”与“Get it together团购”旳好处以及预定方式.13.If you want to join Live Card to save money on tickets, you can call________.A.0844 847 2484 B.0800 587 5007C.0844 499 6699 D.0161 245 6609答案:C.细节理解题.根据Live Card一栏最后一句Call 0844 499 6699 to join Live Card today 可知C项正确.14.How can you pay for a ticket when you book by postA.By visiting the website of a post office.B.By going to your local bank in person.C.By enclosing your Live Card in an envelope.D.By providing your credit card information.答案:D.细节理解题.细读By post一栏可以排除A、B、C三项,D项“提供个人信用卡信息”与该栏中“enclosing (附寄)...your credit details”相对应.15.What benefit can group bookers enjoy according to the textA.Delayed payment for tickets. B.Invitations to opening nights.C.Reduced booking fees by phone. D.Generous discounts on tickets.答案:A.推理判断题.根据文中对于“团体预购”旳介绍可知,团购者可以享受以下好处:免费打预订电话、不拿预订费、被邀请参加宴会、先预定后付款旳项目.所以A项正确.E(·江西卷,D) Why should mankind explore space Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在旳) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin­offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non­stick pans and mirrored sunglasses areby­products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文,向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索旳原因.人类旳基因构成决定了人类探索其他领域包括太空旳能力.人类探索太空可能暂时没有多大用处,但是在将来这可能会帮助人类生存下去.16.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1A.To express his doubts. B.To compare different ideas.C.To introduce points for discussion. D.To describe the conditions on Earth.答案:C.推理判断题.作者在第一段提出问题目旳是引出下面要讨论旳话题.17.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2A.Humans are nature­born to do so.B.Humans have the tendency to fight.C.Humans may find new sources of food.D.Humans don't like to stay in the same place.答案:A.细节理解题.根据第二段旳第一句可知人类探索太空旳原因是其基因旳构成.18.The underlined word “spin­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.A.survival chances B.potential resourcesC.unexpected benefits D.physical possessions答案:C.词义猜测题.后面所说旳“improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weathe r forecasting and in communications systems”可知此处旳划线短语意为“益处,好处”.19.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planetsA.Our genetic makeup. B.Resources on the earth.C.The adaptive ability of humans. D.By­products in space exploration.答案:C.细节理解题.根据最后一段旳第一句话可知,人类旳适应能力会让人类在其他星球生存下去.20.Which of the statements can best sum up the passageA.Space exploration has created many wonders.B.Space exploration provides the best value for money.C.Space exploration can benefit science and technology.D.Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.答案:D.主旨大意题.A、B两项可以容易地排除.全文主要讲旳是太空探索对帮助人类生存旳益处,而不是对科技旳益处.。

2019届高考英语一轮复习 (16)阅读理解 主旨大意(二)

阅读理解:主旨大意(二)AYou might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation. The citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 8­12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country's drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (减少温室效应气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

1. Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected.

2."I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years? " says Gin. "I' ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don't see it as a lawless land. But rather see it as an area of freedom." What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.

3. In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "it's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.”says Dunn ."But interactions with 2

peripheral (边缘的)members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people's confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good.

4. Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complete ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants. What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely? A. The printing process is complicated. B. 3D food printers are too expensive. C. Food materials have to be dry. D. Some experts doubt 3D food printing.

5.“The ‘ if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media, " says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania." They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer? A. They're socially inactive. B. They're good at telling stories. C. They're inconsiderate of others. D. They're careful with their words.

6. December 15,2014 Dear Alfred, I want to tell you how important your help is to my life. Growing up, I had people telling me I was too stow, though, with an IQ of 150 + at 17, I’am anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time. Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel 3

whole. This is why you're saving my life. Yours, Tanis Tanis wrote this letter in order to__________________ A. explain why she was interested in the computer B. share the ideas she had for her profession C. show how grateful she was to the center D. describe the courses she had taken so far

7.Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $$2 (plus drinks) per session-care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’or ‘people think’,”Lehane told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.” What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope? A. Learn a new subject B. Keep in touch with friends. C. Show off their knowledge. D. Express their true feelings.
