Ⅲ.阅读理解

During my first Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia，I spent most of my time studying and in classrooms.I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting.Then last year I started visiting the neurology(神经)ward at Dr.Sardjito Hospital.I was gathering data for my paper.At the hospital I would review the medical records of newly admitted stroke patients，then interview them to find out if they were taking the pill.

One cold，rainy evening last October，I was in the neurology ward desperately“hunting”for the final three patients I needed to plete my study.The records showed that there was a 43-year-old stroke patient，whom I will call Ms A，in the ward.Holding a patient questionnaire，I went into her room.I asked how she was doing.She softly replied that she was getting better but the left side of her body was still weak.After I finished the questionnaire，I prepared to leave so I could go through more medical records.Before I could stand up，Ms A started making conversation，asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.

Ms A started talking about herself.She told me she had three children in primary school，who were staying with a neighbor.Her husband died a year ago and she is the sole breadwinner of her family.I didn't know what to say.I just sat quietly while she talked.Without realizing it，I had begun holding Ms A's hand.

The conversation went on like this for about 20 minutes.A few days later，when I returned to the ward，I discovered that Ms A had_been_discharged as her condition had improved.

Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn.Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or state-of-the-art technology.They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.

Three Strategies to Enhance Your Reading

and Learning prehension

Reading prehension strategies help a lot in developing your vocabulary and power of analysis.__1__

☆Role-playing.

It allows you to gain a better viewpoint over the text you have just read.It also gives you the freedom and flexibility to show your own understanding of the reading material.However，this kind of strategy does not apply to all texts.__2__☆Check whether you have understood the material.

A lot of teachers like to hold question and answer sections at the end of the lesson to see how much a student actually remembers and understands.__3__Closed questions are those immediately answerable by “yes” or “no”．This will give the teacher a quick evaluation of how much the student has gathered from the lesson.Open-ended questions，on the other hand，are an excellent weigh of the student's reading prehension.Questions that begin with “how”and “why”often push the student to details.☆__4__

By tapping into what you've already known，you can make it easier to relate to what you're reading now.This strategy requires you to be up-to-date as well.Or

at least，be a quick thinker.After all，you're expected to take advantage of any opportunity you have to tie one idea to another.__5__

A．Develop a good reading habit.

B．Make use of prior knowledge or experience.

C．These questions should be both closed and open-ended.

D．With these strategies，you'll be able to learn better and help others as well.

E．The students should learn to ask themselves different questions after class.

F．Teachers often use different reading prehension strategies to help their students understand the lesson.

G．I suggest this reading prehension strategy be limited to texts with actual characters and story plots.

高三英语周练1

高三英语周练（1）试题 命题人：考试时间：50分钟总分：89分 Ⅰ. 阅读理解(满分39分) A Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you! La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must________. A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 2. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia. D. In China.

河北省定州市2017届高三英语下学期周练试题（复习班，4.9） 一、阅读理解 As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) . Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion （猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.
