【2013·江西师大附中三模】

An older friend once gave me a piece of advice，“Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“since college is the best time of your life.”

This was not the first time I’d h eard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close，her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age，but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city，starting a new job，and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.

Then，last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called100 Years of Attitude，in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.

Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear the me of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend；I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.

I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our college days.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.

1．Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?

A．College is the best time of one’s life.

B．Twenties were the best time of the old people.

C．One should make the best of all situations.

D．One should not look backwards at their college time.

2．In the second paragraph，the writer wants to say________.

A．her achievements in college would be the peak of her success

B．she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college

C．she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation

D．she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future

3．The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s________.

A．best time of life at youth

B．life experiences and views

C．different opinions about life

D．favorite time with best friends

4．By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill，or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4)，the writer really means________.

A．she will not spend the rest of her time at college

B．she will not just obtain a college level certificate

C．she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished

D．she will not be content with the life in the future

【2013·潍坊5月模拟】

Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax just as well.Numerous vacations help the couple to main tain their health and emotional well-being--and it’s no surprise to health care professionals.

“Rest，relaxation，and stress reduction are very important for people’s

well-being and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities，such as exercise and meditation，but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing，so a rested，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.

Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacatio n has on one’s mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation，even if it is a 24-hour time-out.” The trips could be good for their health，good for their family and good for their businesses.

The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued，but that’s not always good for the individual，the family or the employer.

Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker，making it actually more difficult to shift into less-stressed states，” Mulhern said.

1．How did the author introduce the topic of the text?

A．By making comparisons. B．By giving an example.

C．By raising questions. D．By providing data.

2．According to Natasha Withers，vacations can________.

A．weaken reaction system

B．cure serious diseases

C．reduce the level of well-being

D．decrease the risk of heart disease

3．Expedia’s survey shows that Amer icans________.

A．dislike family gatherings

B．have the shortest vacation

C．enjoy as many vacations as the French

D．think much of spending long hours on the job

4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．One should never wait to relax.

B．Work and rest go against each other.

C．Time and opportunity wait for no man.

D．A relaxed mind determines everything.

5．What is mainly talked about in the text?

A．Ways to relax in one’s free time.

B．The benefits of taking time off.

C．Different opinions on holidays.

D．The Hostetlers always on the go.

【2013·江西临川一中压轴考试】

Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First，friends，relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us.Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second，other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third，we typically find social companionship supportive.Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.Finally，other people may give us instrumental support—money aid，material resources，and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

1．Interpersonal relationships are important because they can________.

A．deal with life changes

B．smooth away daily problems

C．make people live more easily

D．cure types of illnesses

2．The researches show that people’s physical and mental health________.

A．has much to do with the amount of support they get from others

B．lies in the social medical care systems which support them

C．depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles

D．is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes.

3．Which of the foll owing is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”？

A．takes place of B．makes up of

C．lessens the effect of D．gets rid of

4．Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of________.

A．instrumental support

B．informational support

C．social companionship

D．the strengthening of self-respect

5．What is the subject discussed in the text?

A．Effects of stressful conditions.

B．Kinds of social support.

C．Ways to deal with stress.

D．Interpersonal relationships.

语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了我们是社会性的动物，所以我们的生活质量很大程度上取决于人际关系。

答案： A

3．解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“...the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against...”可知，画线词所在句子的句意为：社会支持以许多方式减轻压力。take place of代替；make up of构成，组成；lessen the effect of减少影响，免受影响；get rid of摆脱，除掉，去掉。

答案： C

4．解析：细节理解题。在最后一段中，作者给出了几种不同的support。第一种是“frien ds，relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us.”即从朋友、亲戚和同事那获

(2014·威海高考模拟)

A dentist’s office may not be everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday destination.But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money，or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing，creating a potential but fast-growing market for traditional tour operators.

“It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary，” said a 42-year-old physical therapist from Berlin.He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement，attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany.He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean，the staff qualified and the work thorough.

People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons：it’s cheaper，they face a long wait at home，or the treatment they want is not available in their own country.The British-based Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments.And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa，where it can be harder to find well-equipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.

Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery.“People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them.I’m seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe，” said a professor at the U niversity of Oxford.

For some，there is the attraction of free treatment abroad.British law-makers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment，out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.

The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60 billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.

1．The 42-year-old physical therapist was satisfied with________in Hungary.

A．the price instead of the service

B．the service instead of the price

C．both the price and the service

D．neither the price nor the service

2．How many reasons are mentioned to explain why people go abroad for medical treatment?

A．Four. B．Five.

C．Six. D．Seven.

3．According to the article，________for medical treatment.

A．more Africans want to travel abroad

B．more Europeans want to travel to Africa

C．more Britons want to travel to India

D．no one would come to Great Britain

4．Young people from eastern Europe return to their mother countries for surgery in order to________.

A．get cheaper medical service

B．be looked after by relatives

C．have better medical treatment

D．enjoy free medical treatment

5．What does the article mainly talk about?

A．Overseas sightseeing. B．Hospital treatment.

C．Medical tourism. D．Travelers’ health problems.

语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章对发展潜力巨大的“医疗旅游业(medical tourism)”进行了简要介绍。

1．解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容特别是第二段第一句“It was simply cheaper for me...in Hungary”和最后一句“He was happy...the clinic was clean，the staff qualified and the work through.”可知，他对匈牙利医院的收费和服务都相当满意。

答案： C

2．解析：细节理解题。根据第二至五段内容可知，吸引人们去国外就医涉及以下五方面的

原因：收费低，甚至免费、医疗设施健全、医生资质高、等候时间短、环境干净。

答案： B

3．解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“...in Africa，where it can be harder to find well-equipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.”可知，在非洲很难找到做复杂手术的精良设备。因此推知，将会有更多的人去国外就医。

答案： A

4．解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句“Some patients...prefer to return to be close to their families...be able to look after them.”可知，答案选B。

中考英语阅读理解培优训练(附解析) 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）. Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! （1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?

2017年高考英语阅读题

2017年高考英语阅读题 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2- reach schools and 2- safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21.The passage is mainly written to______. A.introduce famous universities in the United Stales B.show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C.advertise for successful applications and advisors D.offer tips to save money on college application fees

The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B.C., sand had covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the two front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only

The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing.

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor.
