人物故事类一.阅读理解(共15小题)1.Never before have Chinese Internet users so openly liked and supported a Japanese athlete as they have loved table tennis star Ai Fukuhara (福原爱),better known by her Japanese nickname "Ai﹣Chan".But they may now feel heartbroken,as the 29﹣year﹣old said on Oct.21 that she would retire (退役)from the sport.I've found the answers within myself that I have been searching for.From the standpoint (立场)of an athlete,I'm drawing the line here," Fukuhara wrote on her blog.After she started playing table tennis at 3 years old,Fukuhara was seen as a child gifted at the sport.Being trained in China at a very young age,Fukuhara can speak fluent Mandarin,with a northeastern accent.If her deep﹣rooted connection with China is one thing that has won the hearts of Chinese fans,her character is another.She always shows her real self to the public without hiding her feelings.She laughs in games when she wins,and cries when she loses.The fact that she often cries when she gets upset has earned her the nickname "Crybaby Ai﹣Chan" in China.Although she was beaten by a long line of Chinese players,Fukuhara always tries her best when playing her favorite sport.Yet,she also knows that now is the best time to close the curtain on her successful career.It's hard to say goodbye to a long journey but as Fukuhara once said on a reality TV show,"Life is not all about table tennis.Instead,it is just part of life."As for her future plans,Fukuhara wrote that she would like to help more people around the world get to know the beauty of the sport.(1)What makes Fukuhara

at Night,Wheatfield with Craws and indeed his own face in his many self﹣portraits (自画像)are among the most recognized paintings in the world.Van Gogh was born on March 30,1853 in Holland.His first artist impressions were formed,as a boy,from his uncle who was an art dealer.At the age of 12 the young Vincent was drawing.The interest led to an apprenticeship(学徒)in an art dealer's firm,Groupil's,in the Hague.When he was only 20,he went to the firm's London office.In London,Van Gogh faced his first major sadness,when he was refused in love.Groupil sent him from London to Paris but,when his work was unaccepted,asked him to leave in 1876.The young Van Gogh tried during the next few years to turn himself intoa preacher (传道人),but without success.At the age of 27,he found himself drawn back to art and decided to become a painter.In 1886 Van Gogh left Holland forever and traveled to Paris,and his painting styles went through major changes.Van Gogh's work became more youthful in Paris.In Van Gogh's lifetime he only sold one painting and was little known to the art world at the time of his death.But he became noted afterwards.Loving Vincent is a film whichmakes people know him closely.Based on more than 130 of his paintings and 800 of his letters,the film explores the life and the death of the 19th﹣century painter.He wrote in his last letter to his brother,"

million followers in just a few months.Evans isa chemistry professor at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology.The 60﹣year﹣oldalways wears a white lab coat,a pair of safety goggles (护目镜),and smiles often.Some web users say he looks just like the "grandpa of KFC".Evans has posted videos of various experiments.His most popular experiments have attracted millions of hits on video﹣sharing apps.Excited children's cheers and shouts can be heard in his videos."I hope my experiments can arouse people's interest in science," he says.Evans has been interested in China since childhood.In the

quit his job in the United Kingdom and moved to Beijing in 1996.Many of his friends thought he was crazy.But Evans says they just saw China's challenges but not its potential.Since 2011,Evans has turned to the Internet to popularize science.He learned short ﹣video apps are also popular in small cities and rural areas.And he realized this enables him to reach more students,who lack opportunities to perform fun experiments.But even a one ﹣minute video requires a considerable amount of work.Still,he thinks it's worth it to fulfill his responsibility to popularize science.His experiments always fill schools' lecture halls with laughter.Some viewers call him "a Harry Potter﹣like magician",but he disagrees."A magician never tells the secrets behind his tricks,but a scientist always gives an explanation."

I stared at it.andI suddenly felt very strange.This woman,who had given me something incredibly preciousthat I'd begun to take for granted,wasn't a dead body.She was a person,a mother,in fact.At my graduation,the same professor came over to congratulate me.I explained thestory' about Mrs.Jones to him.and recalled what he'd told me about her having children and how that had affected me all those years ago."Well." he said."at the beginning of your training you had a dead body and managed to turn it into a person.Now' you're a doctor,the trick is to have a person and not turn them into a dead body," and he laughed,shook my hand and walked away.(1)Why didn't the author know much about Mrs.Jones?A.Because he was irresponsible for his patients.B.Because he wasn't allowed to ask for her privacy.C.Because he didn't know her until she passed away.D.Because he was too careless while dissecting her.(2)How did Mrs.Jones get her name?A.It was passed down from the seniors of my school.B.It came from a song being played when we first met.C.She was named after a well﹣known singer I liked best.D.It just occurred to me when I opened the bag of her.(3)What could be the author's feeling for Mrs.Jones now?A.Grateful.B.Pitiless.C.Hateful.D.Guilty(4)What did the professor imply by his words in the last paragraph?A.Medical students are able to bring the dead back to life.B.Being a doctor has nothing to do with the medical training.C.Good doctors never fail to save their patients from dying.D.Medical staff ought to have respect for life and humanity.5.Colorado Springs is once again fighting a wildfire,less than a year after the Waldo Canyon fire.About 1p.m.,yesterday,a fire broke out in the area of Falcon and Shoup,just north of the city of Colorado Springs.In today's news meeting,El Paso County sheriff(州长)Terry Maketa told reporters that it has affected 48 square miles in the Black Forest area.Thisfire affects at least 7,358 people.The fire is being described as a lot of spot fires and not one large front.Maketa expects the fire to move to the southeast and then back to the west this afternoon because of wind.Unburned areas passed by the fire yesterday are under threat if the fire moves west.Mountain View Electric is reporting that 11,185 customers are without power as the result of yesterday's big fire.Maketa told reporters that "the fire is far from under control or going out." The area does not have fire hydrants(消防栓)so water is being brought in by tankers.No firefighters injuries have been reported.The sheriff says that there are no missing persons.He expects at least 80 and up to 100 homes to have been burned so far.The Colorado National Guard is helping the local people get out there in a number of ways.The Air National Guard has two helicopters used for firefighting and observation.The U.S.Army has three helicopters from Ft.Carson also dropping water on the fire.A lot of firefighters and equipment from Peterson Air Force Base have joined the fire fight.Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station has also sent nine firefighters.(1)What was the result caused by the big fire?A.More than 400 homes were burned up.B.7,358 people were injured more or less.C.The west area of the forest was burnt badly.D.No electricity was supplied to 11,185 people.(2)Why was the fire very difficult to put out?A.Because there were no fire hydrants in the area.B.Because the dry area is short of water very much.C.Because there happened to be not enough firemen.D.Because they had fewer tankers to carry water.(3)We can learn from this passage that.A.the wildfire made 7,358 people injuredB.the wildfire formed one large fire frontC.nobody has died in the wildfire till nowD.Waldo Canyon fire broke out two years ago(4)What can we know from the last paragraph?A.Five helicopters were fighting the fire.B.The fire was fought in a number of ways.C.A lot of equipment was used to fight the fire.D.Soldiers from Air Force helped fight the fire.6.Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age.There are only a few men in all of the history,who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius."There is no such thing as genius," Edison said.He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker.From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature.Nature,he often said,is full of secrets.He tried to understand them;then,he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking.He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking,especially if they do not think very often.But he knew,too,that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life.As he loved to think,he also loved to work.On the day he became 75 years old,someone asked him what ideas he had about life."Work," he answered."Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier." He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.(1)Edison thought.A.he could be happy if he was a geniusB.genius plays the most important part in one's successC.hard work could do better than geniusD.genius could do better than hard work(2)Edison was.A.very much interested in people's secrets.B.interested in discovering the secrets of natureC.interested in changing people's ideasD.uninterested in making people happier.(3)In Edison's opinion,.A.thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as helpB.people's success lies mostly in geniusC.hard work is the second important thing in making people successfulD.there are few secrets for him to discover later(4)The last sentence in the passage most probably implies.A.life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beingsB.Edison made 100 inventions in his lifeC.Edison was able to live and work for 100 yearsD.people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years' work7.Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all,but owned by none﹣﹣that's because all of Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)﹣﹣the soft sand.He sometimes spends days working on a piece,only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago,when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick.He ended up drawing a 12﹣foot﹣long fish.Since then,Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.Over the years,his drawings have become bigger,but the tools he uses haven't changed ﹣﹣All he needs is a stick, a garden rake(耙子)and most importantly,his lively imagination!Just like any good artist,Jim is quite particular about the "quality" of his canvas,sometimes walking for miles,looking for perfect sand.His latest piece of work,which is also the world's largest freelance(自由职业的)drawing,was created in the desert sand of Nevada.It took Jim three trips,eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3﹣mile work of art.It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However,Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain,wash his paintings away.Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary' (记录片)named "Sandman" in 2015.Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand ﹣he isalso an excellent chef (厨师)and founder of an organization called"Outstanding in the Field",whose motto(座右铭)is to celebrate food at its source.Accordingly,group dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal.The events,which are held in different farms throughout America,are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.(1)What do we know about Denevan?A.He used to be a chef.B.He has a talent for creating sand art.C.He puts his work on show regularly.D.He showed artistic talents at a very young age.(2)It can be learnt from the passage that.A.Denevan walks a lot to complete his workB.it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw onC.it usually takes long for the storm to destroy Denevan's workD.Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools(3)What does Denevan enjoy about his job,according to the passage?A.Walking a long distance.B.Waiting for the storm to come.C.Looking for a suitable canvas.D.Watching his work being destroyed by nature.(4)Which of the following can best describe Denevan?A.Generous.B.Kind﹣hearted.C.Imaginative.D.Traditional.(5)What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Denevan loses his interest in art soon.B.Denevan is also popular as a chef.C.Being a happy chef is Denevan's final goal in life.D.Denevan's fame helps him with his chef job.8.11﹣year﹣old Titan Lacaden is so excellent at football that he has already been offered a college scholarship (奖学金)!

football team Nick Rolovich that he just had to sign him on.Even though he is almost 10 years away from having to go to college,Titan is already planning ahead.He told KITV,"My mom is forcing me to go to UH;she doesn't want me to leave home."Football seems to run in the Lacaden family.Right now,Titan's older brother,Jake Lacaden,is a linebacker for Nevada's team.Titan's father,Frank Lacaden has been coaching football for years but has never seen skills like Titan's.He shared,"I've been coaching for over 25 years,and I've seen a lot of kids and done a lot of camps,and at this age I have not seen somebody with the skills that he has."Titan's family was approached by Rolovich about college football while he was participating in a football camp.While at the camp,the head coach asked Titan's family how they felt about the college scholarship.Rolovich is starting his second year as head coach and is working to build the future of the football team.Frank told KITV,"I've been through the recruiting (招募)process many times,and it's a long,energetic,narrow road,and many reach the door.But there's many times that the door just doesn't answer,and so when chance knocks you've got to

developer of famous courses in self﹣improvement,salesmanship,corporate training,public speaking and interpersonal skills.Born in 1888 in Maryville,Missouri,Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy.His family moved to Belton,Missouri when he was a small child.In his teens,though still having to get up at 4 am every day to milk his parents' cows,he managed to obtain an education at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg.His first job after college was selling correspondence courses.He moved on to selling bacon,soap,and lard(猪油)for Armour&Company.After saving ﹩500,Dale Carnegie quit sales in 1911 in order to achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a lecturer.He ended up instead attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York,but found little success as an actor.Later he got the idea to teach public speaking.In his first session,he suggested that students speak about"something that made them angry",and discovered the technique that made speakers unafraid to address a public audience.From its beginning,the Dale Carnegie Course developed.Carnegie had made use of the average American's desire to have more self﹣confidence.Perhaps one of Carnegie's most successful marketing moves was to change the spelling of his last name from"Carnagey"to Carnegie,at a time when Andrew Carnegie was a widelyrecognized name.Carnegie's works include Lincoln the Unknown (1932),Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business (1937),and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948).His greatest achievement,however,was when Simon &.Schuster published How to Win Friends and Influence People.The book was a bestseller from 1936.By the time of Carnegie's death,the book had sold five million copies in 31 languages,and there had been 450,000 graduates of his Dale Carnegie

more help and support.B.To replace Andrew Carnegie.C.To become more famous.D.To avoid misunderstanding.(4)Which of the following is Dale Carnegie's most successful work?A.Lincoln the Unknown.B.How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.C.How to Win Friends and Influence People.D.Public Speaking and Influencing Men in Business.10.My father was the gentlest,most loving and caring dad in the world﹣﹣﹣﹣until we had an argument.During those moments,my words surely never reached his "open mind" because his ears were closed.There was no point trying to argue with my dad.He always had the last word.I could never win.When my father refused to understand that I needed the privacy of a phone in my room,my frustration turned to tears.He ended our "discussion",leaving me silently defeated and miserable.So when he refused to change his idea about letting me go on my class trip to Montreal,I could do nothing but race from his room in despair.With the hope that his eyes would be more open than his ears,I began to write a note that began with "Dear Daddy" and ended with how much I respected his opinion,how much I hated to fight with him and how much I valued our relationship and,above all,how much I loved him.I folded my note into an envelope,slid it under the door of his bedroom and raced back to my own room.It was only minutes before I heard a knock at my door.WhenI saw the look on my father's face,I knew that my note had melted his temper and touched hisheart.The victory of winning my dad's permission to go to Montreal was sweet.But even sweeter was the discovery of a strategy that enabled me to have an argument with my dad that didn't end in tears,but instead with a hug.My "Dear Daddy" notes became a follow﹣up to many of our arguments.Years later,one of my favorite stories was the "Dear Daddy" notes.It always made me smile to remember some of our most passionate arguments and how my dad would become so pig﹣headed,until he read my notes.(1)What did the author think about her father during an argument?A.GentleB.StubbornC.AggressiveD.Open﹣minded(2)The "Dear Daddy" note is a good way to.A.avoid meeting her father suddenlyB.stop the argument in a funny wayC.deliver her message more quicklyD.persuade her father into supporting her(3)The author's father impressed her most with his.A.last wordB.generous loveC.bad temperD.pig﹣headed decision11.If it weren't for the mentor(导师),Rebecca Cruz is certain that she wouldn't have gotten her bachelor's degree.Ms.Cruz went through a troubling time during her second year in community college.She didn't feel much support at home.Struggling on the edge of stopping her education,Cruz turned to her mentor,Alex Lopez."He put me in the right direction," Cruz recalls.Gisela Bushey is another woman who understands the importance of mentors,and she hopes to find an Alex for every Rebecca.So she designed Critical Bridge,which provides them with mentorship.And in October,Critical Bridge was named a recipient of the ﹩50,000 Encore Prize,which is awarded by Encore.org,a partner organization that aims to use the talents of those aged 50 or older.As part of the prize,Encore.org will provide mentors for Critical Bridge.The mentors will work with youths throughout their participation in the two programs connected to Critical Bridge.More than 10,000 people in the United States are retiring every day,according to Phyllis Moen,a sociology professor.Many of these Americans have expressed a desire to give back to their communities."They want to do something meaningful.And there's nothing more meaningful than mentoring across generations," Professor Moen says.Dima Khoury has mentored young people throughout her career.She sees mentorship asa personal relationship."Take the time to get to know each other," Ms.Khoury says."If you take the time to build trust at the beginning,it will be much easier to build a healthy relationship after that,and more beneficial." Speaking from experience,she says mentors might not always have the answers,but being a listener is just as important."I think what helps is something asking the right question and letting them think about it," she says."It benefits critical thinking."Cruz,now a San Francisco State graduate,has become a mentor too."Sometimes we are in a condition where we don't have people to go to;you might not make it out from that same cycle without the help of any human guide," she says.But by providing mentorship and resources,Cruz hopes that if such a time comes,students will "make the decision to push forward as opposed to giving up."(1)What can be known about Rebecca Cruz?A.She was strongly supported by her family.B.She failed to get her bachelor's degree.C.She gave up her college education.D.She was helped by her mentor.(2)What do we know about Critical Bridge?A.It offers students mentorship.B.It gives mentors prizes yearly.C.It was founded by Alex Lopez.D.It is a talent search organization.(3)What does Dima Khoury think of mentorship?A.It requires rich experience.B.It takes a long time to build.C.It is the best job chance for retired people.D.It involves a good understanding between people.(4)What is Rebecca Cruz's future wish?A.To provide students with support.B.To guide students through their study.。

O n the Twentieth Century.BFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative."It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences."China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's topWestern designers being influenced by China —some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China —its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."24.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.25.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.26.What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against27.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsDMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On onepart of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the bignumber than the little one.”32. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.33. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A. By drawing a circle.B. By touching a screen.C. By watching videos.D. By mixing two drinks.34. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.B. They could understand simple words.C. They could memorize numbers easily.D. They could hold their attention for long.35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D.

Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need."People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段)shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all, everyone has bad days and good days," he said. “Some days you need a hel ping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”24.

At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch”four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward tocommercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typingC. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.D. Data security measures are guaranteed.30.

Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The lik ables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of pow er and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were h ighest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely toengage(从事)in dangerous and risky behavior.”In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teenshad become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness, openness — carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research,Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?A. Unkind.B. Lonely.C. Generous.D. Cool.33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The classification of the popular.B. The characteristics of adolescents.C. The importance of interpersonal skills.D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.34. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?A. They appeared to be aggressive. B. They tended to be more adaptable. C. They enjoyed the highest status. D. They performed well academically. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Be Nice-You Won’t Finish Last B. The Higher the Status, the Beer C. Be the Best-You Can Make It D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness 4. 【2019·全国卷II,D】Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies growuncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How i s NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon andDonna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you working towards your goa l?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve go t to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.32. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A. They are hard to get rid of.B. They lead to air pollution.C. They appear different forms.D. They damage the instruments.33. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.D. To link space technology with school education34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A. Check their product.B. Guide project designsC. Adjust work schedules.D.

HUNCH:A College Admission Reform.9. 【2019·江苏卷,B】In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springsand other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is,however,a second les known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldn't find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.59. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.60. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Bird's view.10. 【2019·浙江卷,C】California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climatechange seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B. The increasing variety of California big trees.C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.D.

What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent,according to statistics from the report.“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone,but together,you know?”Bechtel said,looking up from her book. Bechtel,who works in downtown West Palm Beach,has lunch with coworkers sometimes,but like many of us,too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today,I just wanted some time to myself,”she said.Just two seats over,Andrew Mazoleny,a local videographer,is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It's a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan.”That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one,but those days are over. Now,we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before al the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit,whose company provided the statistics for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food varietyB. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D. Restaurant service.29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A. To meet with her coworkers.B. To catch up with her work.C. To have some time on her own.D. To collect data for her report.30. What do we know about Mazoleny?A. He makes videos for the bar.B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.C. He interviews customers at the bar.D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The trend of having meals alone.B. The importance of self-reflection.C. The stress from working overtime.D. The advantage of wireless technology.2. 【2019·全国卷III,B】For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative."It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces ofChina-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences."China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced byChina-some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer justanother market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.25. What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.26. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends3. 【2019·天津卷,D】Would you BET on the future of this man?He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes,and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before?We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But,if we are willing to lean,the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things wecan't change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nu rsing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence whether they are driving a truck,or running a store-make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learned life's most valuable lesson.51. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that_________.A. loss of freedom stimulates one's creativityB. age is not a barrier to achieving one's goalC. misery inspires a man to fight against his fateD. disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success52. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. End one's struggle for liberty.B. Waste one's energy taking risks.C. Miss the opportunity to succeed.D. Lose the interest to continue learning.53. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.B. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.C. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.D. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.54. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?A. A tough man can tolerate suffering.B. A wise man can live without self-pityC. A man should try to satisfy people around him.D. A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life55. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.B. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.6. 【2019·江苏卷,C】Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations oncross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the。

Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsBefore he 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $ 10 a year. Today $8 0 1' $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all thatThe trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" - a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place ,overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny - usually two or three cents was charged - and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830sA. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential9. What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B.It was a temporary success.C. It was a robber of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined - or added - the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers - 17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value - sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only action (小部分) of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13 . How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.C. They could memorize numbers easily.B. They could understand simple words.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. ln which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.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。

2019年高考英语阅读理解专项练习(名师押题预测+实战训练,建议下载练习) 十三、A typical lion tamer(驯兽师)in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. Whe n a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the confl icting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you wa nt to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show30. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.31. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re a dvised to _____A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidance【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】本文通过驯兽师驯狮子的时候把椅子放在狮子前面引起讨论,当我们人类面对很多选择时候,我们应该怎么做。
在文章中作者建议我们遇见这种情况,要离开采取行动。
28. 【答案】A【试题解析】推理题。
根据文章第一段最后一句When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.可知把椅子放在狮子前面的时候,狮子被椅子的四条腿迷惑住了,不知道该攻击那一个。
所以椅子起着迷惑狮子的作用。
故A正确。
29. 【答案】A【试题解析】推理题。
根据文章第二段How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?可知当我们面临着很多选择的时候,我们也会很困惑,不知道该选择哪一种。
这一点和面对椅子的狮子是相似的。
故A正确。
30. 【答案】B【试题解析】推理题。
根据第三段The end result is that we feel like we cant’ fo cus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.说明作者对于专家有怀疑,因为我们最后采取的行动较少,取得的进步也小。
故B正确。
31【答案】.C【试题解析】推理题。
根据文章最后一段2,3行All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.可知当我们面对多种选择的时候,我们需要的只是立刻采取行动。
故C正确。
【长难句解析】1.The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it is the chair that does the important work.【翻译】驯兽师的鞭子引起了人们的注意,但这只是为了表演。
实际上,起着重要作用的是椅子。
【分析】本句中含有一个强调句it is the chair that does the important work.。
强调的是句子的主语the chair。
强调句的用法及判断,一般说来,如果把句子中的It is/was…that去掉,稍加调整语序,能还原成完整的句子,并且句子意思依然完整,则为强调句型,否则为其他从句,我们应熟记这些基本规则。
2. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,【翻译】任何时候你发现你的面前有椅子在挥动的时候,请记住这一点:你需要的是集中注意力于一件事情。
【分析】本句中的anythime引导的是一个时间状语从句,后面的remember引导的祈使句是主语。
要特别注意All you need to do is focus on one thing,中在is的后面省略了to。
当主语中含有动词do的某种形式时,表语中不定式的to可以省略。
