(2017·安徽黄山模拟)Being afraid of heights, I hate climbing any high places. But I made it weeks ago. Most of our classmates had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru. After having lunch, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.
Do I turn back? Yes! Will I regret it later? I really want to get to the top, but ... At last, I decided at least to have a try.
My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly, he slipped and was about 10 feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking
down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster.
My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly gained_ground.
Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical (垂直). To me, the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! I'm right here，” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a few deep breaths and kept climbing.
With no more mistakes, we came to the top finally. I was dirty and tired. But it didn't matter. I was at the top! I had never felt so alive.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。由于恐高，作者讨厌爬任何高的地方；但是在几周前，她
在朋友的鼓励和帮助下，成功地爬到了某一高处，虽然很累，但是她感觉很开心。
4．According to the text, Jean and her friends________.
A．lived in a beautiful beach village
B．cooked lunch in a beautiful beach village
C．disliked climbing places of height
D．made their climb near a beautiful beach village
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“After having lunch, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.”以及下文的内容可知，她们到这个海滨村庄的附近爬山去了。故选D。
5．The underlined part “gained ground” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．
A．moved forward B．climbed to the top
C．gave up D．rested on the ground
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“With friends helping me by words and actions”和最后一段中的“we came to the top finally”可推断出，在朋友的语言和行动帮助下，作者开始往前走了，所以推测出“gained ground”的意思应为“往前移动”。故选A。
6．How did Jean manage to climb to the top?
A．Her friends waited for her on the way.
B．Jean waited patiently for Seth to catch up.
C．Her friends encouraged and helped her.
D．Jean didn't make any mistake.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Someone was always behind me ... to offer a hand up.”和第五段中的“Melody encouraged me ... not asking me to hurry.”可判断出，作者在朋友的鼓励和帮助下，最终爬到了山顶。故选C。
C
We have a real crisis in this country in the basic understanding of science. It affects our global competitiveness as a country, our national security, and the effectiveness of our social system. The misunderstanding about science is blinding our eyes.
We know that an awful lot of teachers who are teaching science today have not been properly empowered to do so. School frequently isn't testing whether you understand something but whether you're familiar with it. What's Newton's second law? You say F＝ma, and you get an A. That does not reflect a deep understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Science education is not just a body of facts; it's a process. To present it with appeal and excitement you need to picture it as a detective story — asking questions, making observations, and collecting evidence. You test and you fail but, you know, failure can lead to discovery.
Another challenge we face is that science is often viewed as too hard, for experts only. But I don't actually think it's that difficult. People see science every day. They look outside and see weather and nature. They push a button in their house and the lights go on. Everybody is dealing with science every day. They just don't call it that. And it's important they do. In fact, science is determining the quality and outcomes of their life.
Science needs creativity. And one of the best ways to be creative is to think “out of the box”. However, we need more courage when we come to practice. Take me for example. Very early in my teens I decided to educate myself. I realized I would never be a very good student because I didn't like teachers judging me by what I thought were arbitrary (主观臆断的) standards. I decided I'd let the world judge me by whether I could do something of value — solve a problem or build something. That's why I quit school early and risked everything to start a company. I risked everything I had because I had nothing to lose. I'd rather fail at trying to do something really big than succeed at being medium.
“When's the right age to think creatively？” you may ask. I'd say in the womb (母腹)! Kids don't have anxieties about trying to avoid failure. They are full of
imagination and much more willing to fail. Just watch a 3-year-old.They touch everything, and if it hurts they don't touch it
again. They learn everything at a breathtaking rate. Start to think out of the box as early as you can, because it's more likely to take you to places that you can't predict, schedule and budget for. Do all that when you can bear the insecurity.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己的经历说明科学并不是高不可攀的，而是需
要创造力并普遍存在于我们日常生活中的。
7．According to the passage, science teachers should _______.
A．train students' memory for right facts
B．focus more on the learning process
C．present interesting detective stories
D．abandon frequent science examinations
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段第六句“Science education is not just a body of facts; it's a process.”可知，教育不是事实的集合体，而是一个过程，因此教师更应该侧重学习过程。
8．Paragraph 3 indicates that ________.
A．science is intended for experts only
B．it's important to see weather and nature
C．people can determine the quality of life
D．we should realize science is around us
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“People see science every day.”以及第六句“Everybody is dealing with science every day.”人们每天都能接触科学，由此可知，科学就在我们周围。
9．The author takes his own example to say ________.
A．school education may do little good to students
B．teachers sometimes judge their students unfairly
C．people need to take an unusual path to be creative
D．failure at a big thing is better than a small success
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Science needs creativity.”以及第四段第七句“I decided I'd let the world judge me by whether I could do something of value — solve a problem or build something.”，作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们科学需要创造，需要创新，走不寻常的路，故选择C项。
10．What's the tone of the passage?
A．Questioning.B．Encouraging.
C．Criticizing.D．Complaining.
解析：选B 文章基调题。根据第二段末句“You test and you fail but, you know, failure can lead to discovery.”以及第三段第二句“But I don't actually think it's that difficult.”，作者认为失败可能会带来发现，并且觉得科学并没有那么难，由此可推测，作者鼓励人们勇于思考，敢于创造就会有所发现。questioning意为“质问的”；encouraging
意为“鼓励的”；criticizing意为“批评的”；complaining意为“抱怨的”。

阅读七选五专练(一) A (2017·安徽百所重点高中二模) All of us know that a balanced diet strengthens the immune system. __1__. The following strategies will help you to jumpstart healthy eating habits. Morning must-haves Researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who took daily breakfast were a third less likely to become obese (肥胖的) than those who skipped this meal. To enjoy the most benefits, the researchers recommended eating whole-grain foods for breakfast as they are rich in fiber. __2__. Main meal wisdom If you need to consume meat, choose fish instead of red meat. Studies have linked high consumption of red meat with cancers such as breast and colorectal cancer as well as heart disease mainly because red meat is very high in saturated (饱和的) fats. __3__. Food preparation __4__. As such, cooking methods such as steaming, baking, grilling, boiling or stir-frying are advised. __5__ Some people like to eat a large meal after a hard day's work. However, large meals late at night can cause indigestion that influences sleep. So it is a very good idea to have a low-calorie fiber drink just before leaving the office. It is also not a good idea to regularly have a late-night meal as this could overburden the digestive system. Remember, minor changes in our eating habits can lead to major changes in our health. A．Light nights B．Fewer night snacks C．Fish, in contrast, contains more heart-healthy fats D．Drinking bean milk supplies the body with plant protein E．Experts always suggest preparing food with as little oil as possible F．But most of us fail to obtain adequate nutrients (营养) due to our troubled lifestyles

2018年高考英语真题分类汇编专题12：议论文类阅读理解
2018年高考英语真题分类汇编专题12：议论 文类阅读理解 一、阅读理解 1. （2018?卷Ⅱ）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 D We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them." 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 peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also." Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense
2018届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解综合练十二4
阅读理解综合练(十二) A (2016·10浙江) Digital technology—email and smart phones especially—have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside of a traditional office.Even so,most white-collar work still happens in an office.One reason is that,according to findings of a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix,most bosses are doubtful about remote working.Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it,and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated. Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey,which shows that 43 percent of workers say they’ve watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely,while 35 percent have done housework,and 28 percent have cooked dinner. It is true,however,that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的),because it allows workers to take care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done.It’s much faster,for example,to shop for groceries at a quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-work rush. The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker. More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something of value.Sixty-four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather give up some bonus in order to get even one day a week working from home.Under such circumstances,smart firms need to find ways to let their employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently. 1.Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working? A.They fear losing control of their workers. B.They want to stick to their routine practice. C.The y have little trust in modern technology. D.They are used to face-to-face communication. 2.What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working? A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Reserved. D.Disapproving. 3.What does the author suggest smart firms do? A.Shorten their office hours. B.Give employees a pay raise.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案
【英语】高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Google's new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces," said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like". The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced," Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.（1）What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A.It enables easy Internet access. B.It is equipped with tough glass. C.It can be worn on your clothing. D.It allows of hands-free photography. （2）What does the underlined word "candid" in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Awkward. B.Brief. C.Touching. D.Unforgettable. （3）What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A.The advance in technology. B.The popularity of the Internet. C.The screen for viewing and editing. D.The rise of the smartphone industry. （4）What does the text mainly talk about? A.New gadgets in the age of apps.

高考英语专题题库∶阅读理解的综合题及答案
一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失). A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly. Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings. The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later. The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent. （1）What does the new study tell us? A.Childhood memories decline with years.
