体裁:说明文话题:自信与成功词数:426 时间:6′

Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident, it radiates (辐射、散开) from you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁).Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience,their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends.And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?

First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think.What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided.Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them.Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices.Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through.And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success—after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement.No one can take this away from you!

As you sow, sow will reap.With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success.At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments elegantly.“Thanks, I real ly worked hard on that success, I'm pleased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it.Self-confidence really can be learned and built on.Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort! 【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了自信对于取得成功的重要性,及其在人们日常生活中的重要作用。

1.Those who are truly confident ________.

A.succeed without effort and hard work

B.gain the confidence of others and feel successful

C.appear more attractive and thus become successful

D.encourage people around to become confident

答案 D [细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知“我们的自信可以反过来激励他人的自信。”所以说可以鼓励他人变得自信。]

2.The underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.punish B.imitate C.laugh at D.praise for

答案 C [词义猜测题。由前后文可知即使他人嘲笑或批评你的想法,你也要做你认为是正确的事情。]

3.When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to ________.A.praise them in return

B.gain further improvement

C.expect them to congratulate you again

D.politely accept the compliments

答案 D [细节理解题。由第五段第二、三句可知“你可以优雅地等待别人对你所取得成就的祝贺和赞扬”也就是可以礼貌地接受别人的赞美。]

4.Which of the following sayings best expresses the meaning of Paragraph 4?

A.Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.

B.It is no use crying over spilt milk.

C.Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% efforts.

体裁:说明文话题:错误与成长词数:352 时间:5′

We live in a culture that sends out very mixed messages about mistakes: We're told we learn by making them, but we work hard to avoid them.So the result is most of us know that we are going to make mistakes, but deep down, we feel we shouldn't. Experiments with schoolchildren who did well on a given test show that those who were praised for being smart and then offered a more challenging or less challenging task afterward usually chose the easier one.On the other hand, children praised for trying hard—rather than being smart—far more often selected the more difficult task.

If we try hard to avoid mistakes, we aren't open to getting the information we need in order to do better.In a writing study, experiments showed that those who are so scared to make mistakes perform worse in writing tasks than those who aren't as worried about being perfect.They fear receiving any kind of negative feedback, so they don't learn where they went wrong and how to get better.

We don't just learn more when we're open to mistakes, we learn deeper.Research tells us that if we're only concerned about getting the right answer, we don't always learn

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解综合题汇编及答案解析

一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Gemini Man Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身). Jojo Rabbit During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler. Doctor Sleep Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Here's another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).(1)What can we learn from this passage? A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep. B. Taika Waititi is the main character in Jojo Rabbit. C. Gemini Man is adapted from a 20-yem--old TV series. D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora. (2)If your friend wants to see a horror movie, which one will you recommend? A. Gemini Man B. Jojo Babbit C. Doctor Sleep D. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil 【答案】(1)A (2)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了四部电影。 (1)考查细节理解。根据Doctor Sleep部分中的“Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy w ith psychic powers in 1980 film.”可知Ewan McGregor在电影Doctor Sleep扮演Danny Torrance的角色。故选A。

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案)

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there. In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban. Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides. Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality. For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air. (1)How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city? A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week. B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday. C. By limiting the number of new cars. D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.(2)What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles? A. Raised the number of public vehicles. B. Offered free bus and subway rides. C. Introduced more travel options. D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city. (3)What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico? A. Alternate-day rules. B. Tax rises. C. Congestion charge. D. The rainy season.(4)What's the best title for the passage? A. Mexico —an Island Plateau B. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in Mexico C. Should Cities Be Car-free Zones D. How to Improve Air Quality 【答案】(1)A (2)B (3)D (4)C

新高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编(70)

2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编(70) 阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 “Experience may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words,but they actually come from James March,a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookThe Ambiguities of Experience. He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the stor y,the less realistic it is.” Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,March is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short,it is demanding:Don’t pick it up lookin g for quick,easy lessons. Rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 1. According to the text,James March is. A. a poet who uses experience in his writing B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions 2. According to James March,experience. A. is overvalued B. is easy to explain C. should be actively sought D. should be highly respected

【英语】历年全国高考英语代词试题汇总及答案 一、单项选择代词 1.— How much salt did you put in the soup? 一 Oh, sorry! . I forgot. A.Little B.Nothing C.None D.Few 【答案】C 【解析】 考查不定代词。A. Little少许;B. Nothing无事,无物;C. None没有任何东西;D. Few很少。上句:你在汤里放了多少盐?下句:我忘了放盐。也就是一点也没有,故选C。 2.— You seem busy these days. —Yes. I’m writing a story. You know, it’s really not easy to write ______ with attractive plots. A.this B.it C.one D.that 【答案】C 【解析】 句意:你近些天看起来很忙。是的,我在写故事,你知道,写一个有吸引力的情节的故事不容易。.it/one /that三者均可用作代词,指代前面提到的名词.一般说来,it指代同名同物; one与that则指代同名异物.one与that虽可用来指代同名异物,但one为泛指,相当于a/an +名词; that为特指,相当于the +名词.所以one所指代的名词的修饰语一般为 a/an /some /any; that所指代的名词的修饰语往往是the /this /that。前面提到是a story,故选择C。 考点:考查it,one,that用法区别 3.Jack Ma, the founder and chairman of China’s Alibaba Group, has a $28.6 billio n fortune, ______making him the richest person in China. A.it B.one C.that D.which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】 试题分析:考查代词。句意:中国阿里巴巴集团创始人兼董事长马云拥有286亿美元的财富,这使他成为中国首富。分析句子结构可知,此处用one代替前面的a $28.6 billion fortune,实际上是它的同位语,后面的making him the richest person in China.是现在分词作后置定语修饰one,注意此处不是非限定性定语从句,如果是非限定定语从句的话应该用makes而不是making,所以不能选which,故选B。 考点:考查代词 4.I’d appreciate ______ if you would pick me up at seven this evening. A.hat B.this C.it D.you

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges,she’s been named national teacher of the year. Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his22years as an educator,but Peterson is“just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E.Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a30-minute play with scenes from the book.Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race,equality and social justice,the themes of the book.Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book. The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils.It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns own even win national honors. As national teacher of the year,Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. Not surprisingly,She is a big believe in the value of arts education.She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day. 65.The underlined word“daunting”in Paragraph1most probably means__________. A. discouraging B.interesting C.creative D.unbearable
