高二英语题解析

一、阅读理解

The origins of the apple tree are in Asia. We know that 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient Jericho, a city near the Jordan River. In some parts of the ancient world apples could only be afforded by royalty (王室成员) and their courts, and were a popular dessert as long ago as 4,500 years. Now the apple is the most popular fruit in the world.

You probably know that there’s a tradition for students to bring shiny apples to their favorite teachers. But why?

No one knows for sure. The idea of "an apple for the teacher" has been with us since the late 1800s. Perhaps the custom grew out of the fact that apples are ripe (成熟的) in September, when the school year usually begins. In earlier times, students, particularly those in rural areas, could pick apples from trees on their way to school. They were easy gifts for children to give. However, the lovely practice took on a dark note if the other children thought the gift-giver was trying to buy the teacher into giving him or her better grades. "Apple polisher" came to mean someone who tries to please a superior (上级) in return for special treatment. It was a popular college slang (俚语) term in the 1920s, but the term isn’t used much any more.

It’s true that apples can be very attractive. The apple is America’s favorite fruit, as shown in the phrase, "as American as Mom and apple pie".

After all, who ever says, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away" or "You’re the banana of my eye"? And who brings a banana to his or her teacher? Nobody.

1．What do we learn about the apple from the passage?

Opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day.

If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July. If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid vis iting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.

Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s websi te. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.

Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.

5．We learn from the passage that ______.

A. a single adult had better visit the Magic Kingdom on a school day

B. children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year’s Day

C. Disney World theme parks have the same opening and closing times

D. the Magic Kingdom was the earliest theme park in the world

A. see the guide to Disney World tickets to reserve a table

B. use 1-407-WDW-DINE to reserve about 3 months in advance

C. make a call to reserve a table for dinner in advance

D. go to Cinderella’s Royal Table or the Liberty Tree Tavern at any time you like

7．Which of the following is TRUE according to passage?

A. Disney World theme parks will be closed on Christmas Day.

B. The only way to get Walt Disney World tickets is to buy them online.

C. The Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic Hours every day.

D. Visitors have to reach the Magic Kingdom by tram and then boat.

When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a li fe or another creature with something as simple as my care．

Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered t here．They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．

The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat came to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about

what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons more kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．

Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．

The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for us．He needed us．And we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．

8．Which of the following statements is true?

A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison．

B．The author realized the importance of practising kindness．

C．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat．

D．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds．

9．We can infer from the third paragraph that______．

A．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons

B．the American prison culture will be improved

C．showing love to others ca n make prisoners strong

D．the author is not content with the prison culture

10．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Animals Need Care．

B．Prison Culture is Important．

C．Caring Makes Us Human．

D．Everyone Needs to be Cared for．

11．In Paragraph 2，the author mentioned that “Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners．” to______ ．

A．show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other

B．show us the officer and prisoners all like the cat

(英语)高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. （1）The first paragraph is meant to . A. offer a suggestion B. give a warning C. explain a reason D. introduce the topic （2）It can be learned from the text that more and more people will . A. prefer to read local news B. pay more attention to world news C. start a career in citizen journalism D. give up watching TV news programmes （3）What would be the best title for the text? A. The Latest Local News B. More Choices for News C. The End of TV News D. Traditional World News 【答案】（1）D （2）C （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了市民可以观看的新闻媒体。有些新闻来自国家（正式新闻）;有些新闻来自民间，这种民间的非正式媒体新闻正呈上升趋势；市民还可以在网上发布一些新闻。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“ watch an international news program on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.”和第二段中的“The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN”可以推断出第一段是引子，是为了引出下文的话题（介绍BBC World和

高二英语阅读理解

What a newspaper includes is decided by its editors. The managing editor decides which stories are newsworthy and gives reporters their tasks. To an editor, there are two kinds of news: hard news, such as the election (选举) of a president, and soft news. Soft news includes stories about a new dance craze, a beautiful historic building, or an interesting person. The soft news fills whatever space is left after the hard news is put into the newspaper space. There is also public service news to fit in－information about meetings and lectures, free health programs, or changes in a local library’s hours. The managing editor decides how important a story is. If a story is very important, it is marked for a headline on the front page. Less important stories appear farther back in the paper. The story editor takes a story and decides to “boil or trim it”. If the editor decides to boil a story, it becomes front-page article. Depending on the size of a paper, there may be a sports editor, a business editor or an art editor. On a small weekly paper, an editor may cover two or more of these areas. Once all the stories are written, they are given to a copy editor, who corrects any mistakes and fits the articles into the newspaper’s format(版式). The makeup editor, with the managing editor, usually dec ides how the paper will look. The editor’s job is to decide whether a page will look. This editor’s job is to deicide whether a page will carry two stories and four ads or six stories and one ad. Editors may rewrite or redesign many of the pages as more stories come from the pressroom. 61. An example of hard news is _______ A. the election of a president B. a story about a historic building C. a new fashion in clothes D. information about health programs 62. Where a news story is put in the newspaper depends on___________ A. its length B. its style C. its importance D. its title 63. What does the underlined word “trim” in the second paragraph mean? A. Reduce in size B. Increase in length C. Beautify in appearance D. Change in shape 64. Correcting the mistakes of all the articles is the work of_______ A. makeup editors B. copy editors C. managing editors D. business editors 65. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To persuade people to work as editors. B. To tell the readers how editors are educated. C. To introduce some famous editors. D. To show how a newspaper is made.

(英语)高二英语过去完成时解题技巧及练习题

（英语）高二英语过去完成时解题技巧及练习题 一、单项选择过去完成时 1．Could I do some explanations? Ito call on you yesterday, but someone came to see me just when I was about to leave. A．had intended B．intended C．would intend D．was intending 【答案】A 【解析】 考查固定搭配。have intended to do sth. =" intend" to have done sth.“本打算做某事”。根据yesterday可知，事情发生在过去，故用过去完成时，意为“本打算......”。故选A。 2．We to finish the work before dark, but the heavy rain held us up. A．meant B．was meaning C．had meant D．would mean 【答案】C 【解析】 试题分析: 句意：我们本打算在天黑前完成这项工作，但是大雨耽误了我们。Mean to have done 和 had meant to do 表示“本打算做但是没做成”，类似用法的词还有plan，intend等，选C 考点：考查动词时态 3．Mary was pleased to see that the seeds she ______ in the garden were growing. A．was planting B．has planted C．would plant D．had planted 【答案】D 【解析】考查过去完成时态。它表达的是在某个过去动作或时间点之前发生的动作，简单地说就是“过去的过去”发生的事情。句意:玛丽很高兴她在花园里种的种子正在生长。根据句意可知，种种子是在种子成长之前，故选D。 4．—What a consequence! —Yes. I ________ him about it, but without success. A．will remind B．would remind C．was reminding D．had reminded 【答案】D 【解析】考查时态。What a consequence! 意为“真是一场惨剧”，consequence多指不良的后果。后一句句意应为“我曾经提醒过他，但没有成功。”“consequence”发生在过去，remind 动作发生在后果出现之前，即过去的过去，因此用过去完成时态，故选D。 5．Hardly ___________the door when he rushed into the office out of breath. A．I opened B．did I open C．I had opened D．had I opened

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Hipster Greenport: 4 places to eat, shop and visit Greenport may date back to the 1630s, but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here are four places that embody the old-meets-new energy of the village: Claudio's If you've been to Greenport, you can't miss Claudio's —it's where generations of Long Islanders have made a tradition of eating, whether inside the main restaurant or at the floating dock-bar. The new owners have added fresh elements: Baccano Pizza by Nino, which offers a variety of slices and pies until as late as 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — is right by the dock entrance. Little Creek Oyster Farm & Market It's little spots like this that tell the current Greenport story. There's no sign or advertising for this tiny house changed from the cabin of an old ship that's practically hidden down Bootlegger's Alley near Mitchell Park. But there they are — streams of people who come to enjoy the fresh oysters while drinking local craft beer, with a waterside view. The Times Vintage Nostalgia (怀旧) for bygone times runs high in this 1909 building, which once served as the base for the Suffolk Times newspaper. These days, this well-designed shop sells vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and loads of old-fashioned clothing and home decoration items including mid-century highball sets. Greenport Fire Heat comes in many forms and several are sold here — hot sauces, cigars and candles. Consult the chalkboard for the current sauce offerings or browse cigars such as a hand-rolled Honduran Leaf by Oscar or the Gurkha Cellar Reserve made with 18-year-aged tobacco. （1）What's special about Greenport? A. It is a place full of energy. B. It is a famous port in the world. C. It is a combination of new and old. D. It is a popular place of interest. （2）What can you do in The Times Vintage? A. You can enjoy delicious oysters. B. You can buy some old things. C. You can find hand-rolled cigars. D. You can have Baccano Pizza. （3）If you are a smoker, you may be interested in _________. A. Claudio's B. Little Creek Oyster C. Greenport Fire D. The Times Vintage 【答案】（1）C （2）B （3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了绿港（Greenport）这个村庄里能体现新旧融合的四个地方。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“…but it's feeling pretty of-the-moment right now. Here
