(2019·河南五校高三联考)The Great Smoky Mountains always looked dull black and yellowish to Lauren Van Lew even when they were bursting with their famous fall colors.The 20－year－old Van Lew has been color-blind his whole life.Some colors have just been left in the imagination.He loves painting，but his wife Molly has to help him pick and mix colors.

Last week Van Lew visited the scenic mountaintop again.For the first time he saw yellows，oranges and reds.Through a special viewfinder，though.“Red is the biggest difference，”said Van Lew.“It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.That red，it's just lovely.It's unbelievable.”

A color-blind viewfinder which lets people enjoy colors that they may have never seen before was fixed on the top of the Ober Gatlinburg resort(旅游胜地)last Wednesday.It is one of three in the state.The technology isn't new.It consists of eyeglasses that let color-blind people see colors.But this is the first time it's been used in a viewfinder.It helps people with red-green color blindness.How clearly the viewfinders show new colors can vary from person to person among the 13 million or so people with color blindness in the country.

State tourism officials invited people to try it out last Thursday at

Ober Gatlinburg.They brought them up by ski lift，but left the details somewhat vague.They wanted to keep the element of surprise.A camera crew filmed their reactions for marketing material.Their first look drew tears，smiles and astonished faces with wonder and awe.“My heart just started beating fast，”said Todd Heil，who generally saw a lot of green.“I felt like crying，man.Too many people around.”

For Van Lew，it can be a little discouraging to know what he's been missing，but the possibility of tapping into a long-unseen world of lively colors is uplifting.

1．Why does the author mention Van Lew's wife?

A．To tell us he has a happy marriage life.

B．To stress the importance of colors in painting.

C．To show the inconvenience his condition caused.

D．To let us know how optimistic he is towards life.

2．What can we know about the Great Smoky Mountains?

A．It is dull black and yellowish all year round.

B．It is where the Ober Gatlinburg resort lies.

C．It is equipped with three color-blind viewfinders.

D．It is the first place in the state to use a viewfinder.

3．Why did the state tourism officials give few details?

A．Because they tried to make a film.

B．Because they had no way to describe them.

C．Because the fantastic beauty was beyond words.

D．Because they wanted a great effect of advertisement.

4．How does Van Lew find his seeing the real world of colors?

A．Bittersweet. B．Thrilling.

C．Regrettable. D．Calming.

体裁：说明文　题材：科技　主题：色盲取景器

【语篇解读】　本文介绍了Ober Gatlinburg最近安装了色盲取景器，使色盲者能看到五彩世界。

1．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The 20-year-old Van Lew has been color-blind his whole life”可知Van Lew是色盲，紧接着本段最后一句就提到“He loves painting，but his wife Molly has to help him pick and mix colors”，目的是表明色盲这种疾病给他带来了不便，故C项正确。

答案：C

2．解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，Van Lew再次上了山顶，这次他看到了各种颜色；第三段告诉我们在Ober Gatlinburg旅游胜地安装了色盲取景器。由此可推断Ober Gatlinburg旅游胜地在Great Smokey Mountains，故B项正确。

答案：B

3．解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They wanted to keep the element material”可知州旅游部门的官员们之所以模糊处理细节是为了达到好的广告宣传效果，故D项正确。

答案：D

4．解析：根据最后一段中的“For Van Lew，it can be a little discouraging to know what he's been missing，but the possibility of tapping into a long-unseen world of lively colors is uplifting”，既为之前所错过的感到沮丧，又为能看到以前没看到的感到开心，故bittersweet“甜中有苦的，既有欢乐又有悲伤的”正确。

答案：A

B

(2019·长沙四校高考模拟)The concept of forgiveness has always remained a vital topic in spirituality.In recent years，more and more research has come out proving its benefits backed by science.In a study conducted by the National University of Singapore and Rotterdam School of Management，Erasmus University (RSM) ，researchers divided 160 university students into two groups.The experiment began with a writing exercise during which the first group were asked to write about a person who they forgave.The second wrote about a situation where they did not forgive another person and still felt bitter.

After the writing exercise，the researchers measured how high each participant could jump in centimeters.The results found that those who had written about forgiveness jumped higher，on average，than those who focused on negative (消极的) feelings.“A state of being unforgiving is like carrying a heavy burden，a burden that victims bring with them when they face the physical world.Forgiveness can lighten this burden，”the team explains.

“The benefits of forgiveness may go beyond the constructive consequences that have been discovered in the psychological and health fields，”writes Xue Zheng of RSM.“Our research shows that forgivers perform better on challenging physical tasks.”

In addition，the study noted that holding on to grudges can increase deep thinking，which may decrease the availability of cognitive(认知的) resources that can otherwise be used to deal with physical challenges such as jumping or climbing a hill.In other words，focusing on negative thoughts about someone who has harmed

us takes up energy that would otherwise be better spent elsewhere.

So if you find yourself carrying that feeling，consider this：By holding on to the pain of the past，we bear that burden on ourselves.By replacing anger with positive feelings of understanding and sympathy for the one who has hurt us，we get rid of the heavy burden of anger weighing on the mind and body.

5．What were the second group asked to write about?

A．Cases where they got lasting hurt.

B．Pleasure they were happy to share.

C．Someone who once helped them out.

D．Lessons they learnt from their experience.

6．How did the researchers conduct their study?

A．By comparing information collected.

B．By giving challenging physical tasks.

C．By holding high jump competitions.

D．By interviewing some university students.

7．Which does the underlined word “grudges” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?

A．appreciation B．tolerance

C．hate D．suffering

8．What does the author advise readers to do at last?

A．Be positive about the future.

B．Hope for the best.

C．Reduce the working burden.

D．Let go of your pain.

体裁：说明文　题材：心理调节　主题：原谅

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，不愿意原谅别人除了给自己带来心理压力外，还会加重身体负担，不利于身心健康。

5．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The second wrote about a situation where they did not forgive another person and still felt bitter”可知，第二组学生被要求写一个他们不愿意原谅某人，并且回想起来仍然难过的经历，故A项“他们受到持久伤害的情形”正确。

答案：A

6．解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，研究人员搜集两组学

生跳高的数据，发现描述自己原谅别人的学生跳得比情绪消极的学生高。由此可见，研究人员通过对搜集的数据作对比来开展研究。

答案：A

7．解析：词义猜测题。结合第四段内容对grudges造成的后果“increase deep thinking，which may decrease the availability of cognitive(认知的)resources that can otherwise be used to deal with physical challenges such as jumping or climbing a hill”这一描述可知，画线词的意思是“怨恨，怀恨”，与hate意思相近。

答案：C

8．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By holding on to the pain of the past...get rid of the heavy burden of anger weighing on the mind and body”可知，作者建议人们原谅伤害自己的人，释放心中的痛苦，减轻自己的负担。

答案：D

题型重组练(三) (建议用时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (·浙江名校新高考研究联盟联考)Brits(英国人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us relying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English. Only half(51%) are able to speak a second language to any standard and as more people travel abroad, this is becoming an increasing regret, according to a new study. Almost two-thirds(62%) of UK adults wish they were better at speaking languages. So they can better understand a city’s culture(38% of respondents), talk with locals(24%) and go beyond the guide book(21%)． Overcoming language barriers can be one of the most difficult parts of a holiday, particularly when in unfamiliar surroundings. So stressful in the fact that 10% of respondents said they didn’t travel because of the problem. The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food and one in ten got on the wrong train, plane or other form of transportation.

第二十组 (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解 A The event that stands out in my memory happened one morning in 1983 when I was 14 years old.I was at home with my mother, getting ready for the afternoon session of school. I was doing my homework when I heard raised voices.At first I thought nothing of it—customers in the motorcycle shop directly below us often became unruly and loud, but I soon realized this was different. “Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop，” someone yelled. Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When I opened the front door of our flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke, billowing up from the ground floor, greeted me.The motorcycle shop had caught fire. My mum, who had been working in the kitchen, hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke. We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mum stopped in her tracks.She turned around and headed back the way we came.I had no idea what she was doing, but I followed suit. Mum had suddenly remembered the Korean lady in her 70s who lived next door to us, who we called Makcik.Mum began banging on Makcik’s door, but to no avail.As the smoke thickened around us, I could see many of our neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. “She would have run for safety like everyone else！” I cried. Mum refused to give up.“I know Makcik’s still inside，” she said as she pounded the door. “Go downstairs，shaji.Go now！”

高考英语二轮复习 题型重组第三组

第三组 (建议用时：45分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 Strange Wedding Traditions around the World Flinging raw rice and breaking a glass underfoot may seem like strange ways to celebrate a marriage, at l east if you’re not used to American customs. Strange as some U．S. wedding traditions may be, they certainly cannot take the (wedding) cake for overall wedding weirdness.Those honors go to these 5 strange wedding traditions around the globe. Blackening of the Bride and Groom (Scottish) For Scotland’s tradition of blackening of the bride, which has expanded to now include the groom, absolutely anything goes. This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flour—you name it and you get it, you can certainly pile it on.The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux (无尾礼服) and the wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game.Once blackened, the lucky newlywed-to-be is paraded through the streets or tied to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding.Blackening suppose dly prepares the person for any humiliation (羞耻) that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened. Breaking Dishes (German) Throwing plates is typically something you do after you’ve been married a few years, unless you’re from Germany.The wonderful tradition of breaking dishes actually takes place prior to the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.Tradition says the more dishes you break, the more good luck the new bride will receive.This counts double if she’s lucky enough to get a brand new set of china as a wedding gift.After this part, the bride and groom join forces to sweep up the mess, a gesture that ensures nothing will ever get broken in their home again. Keep Your Feet on the Floor (Irish) Irish legend has it that the bride must keep her feet on the floor while she’s dancing with the groom to ensure little fairies attracted by her beauty won’t kidnap her.The quick and clever fairies are always eager to get their hands on beautiful things, and legend says the bride has long been a prime target. Irish legends throughout the ages full of tales of fairies stealing brides, although it’s not clear where the brides end up and if the destination is better than where she planned to spend her honeymoon. Passing a Rolling Pin(擀面杖)(Polish) How many Polish people does it take to pass a rolling pin? It depends on how many people are at the Polish wedding! The tradition is pretty much what it sounds like，as people stand in a circle and pass a rolling pin from one person to the next，but there’s a rule—no hands are allowed，and each person must grad and then pass the pin along using only their legs.While it is not immediately evident what the tradition means or why people do it，it is evident it would be great video to capture for future generations to enjoy. No Bathroom Breaks for Three Days(Tidong tribe，Northern Borneo) Can your bladder (膀胱)really explode? Folks who follow a marriage tradition in Northern Borneo put this question to the test.Newlyweds in the Tidong tribe must stay in their home for three days—without a single bathroom break.That means no No.1, no No.2 during this three-day period. The background of this tradition is extremely unclear... as is the feeling people probably get after not relieving
