(2016·山东济南调研)Too often in life，we focus on the things we cannot do.Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations，health limitations，family limitations，educational limitations，and so on.Sometimes，we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals.We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life.

Through the Internet，I have recently met an individual whom I found to be very inspiring.He has a positive attitude；he focuses on what he can do.To name a few of his accomplishments：he has set a world record，and is in the Guinness Book of World Records；he is an international poet with over 900 publications；he is an advocate for the disabled；he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week；he is an ambassador for the Har v ey Ball World Smile Foundation；he has created his own website—http：//w heelierecord.Tripod.corn/ index，html.And the list could go on!

The individual is Robert M．Hensel.You see，Robert was born spina bifida，a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an impact on the kidneys.Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements，yet he has accomplished more than many.His attitude to life is one that，for me，is inspiring！To quote Robert，“I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed，showing other ways to meet our needs.Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.”

Let Robert be a reminder for changing https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d411453116.html,e his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do，but focus on what you can do!

(2015·河北唐山高三模拟)Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2，000 teachers took an online survey.Three quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive”effect on their stud ents’research habits and skills.But 64 percent said the technologies“do more to distract(使分心)students than to help them academically”．And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an“easily distracted generation with short attention spans”．

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project.Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report.Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster.“Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging.Young people favor these tools.The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content，and not just sort of consumers.”

But one problem the survey found is that many_students_lack_digital_literacy．They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet.Judy says these students haven’t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information.“It’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to，because in a world in which things happen quickly，you do need to step back，reflect and analyze the information you have.”

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all：being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

【解题导语】本文主要讲述了数字化工具的益处和弊端。

5．The text mainly tells us ________．

A．all the students use digital tools

B．the Internet is playing a key role

C．teachers encourage using digital tools

D．digital tools bring about benefits and problems

解析：选D。主旨大意题。文章第一段的第一句“Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of American teenagers.”为主题句，介绍了该调查结果，即老师们认为数字时代对这一代的美国青少年既有好的影响，也有不好的影响。

6．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

(①＝Para.1，②＝Para.2，③＝Para.3，④＝Para.4，⑤＝Para.5)

解析：选A。篇章结构题。本文为总分式，第一段进行了综述，介绍了数字化工具对学生既有好的影响也有不好的影响；第二段介绍了好的影响，第三、四、五段介绍了不好的影响。因此选择A。

7．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means ________．

A．students do not have the right digital tools

B．students do not always have access to the Internet

C．students haven’t the ability to adjust themselves

D．students can’t judge online information properly

解析：选D。句意理解题。根据下文“They trust too much of the information...the quality of online information.”可知，学生们缺乏对数字化信息的认识能力，还不能恰当地判断网上的信息，因此D项正确。

8．Some students don’t tend to work hard because ________．

A．they can get answers on the Internet quickly

B．printed books and libraries around aren’t enough

C．the Internet can’t make students concentrate

D．they can copy others’work without being punished

解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Another problem...being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.”可知，一些学生不努力学习是因为他们能很快在网上找到答案。

C

Successful women with demanding jobs are almost twice as likely to suffer a heart attack，research shows.

Those with highly stressful careers (职业) are more at risk from strokes(中风)，high blood pressure and heart trouble.Women who say their role requires them to work very hard with little opportunity to use their creative skills are 40 percent more likely to develop heart disease or need surgery，American researchers found.They are 88 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with more relaxed jobs—almost double the risk.

Traditionally doctors have always believed that men under pressure at work are far more likely to fall victim to heart disease.But these latest findings from researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston show women are just as easily harmed—particularly as they often face the added stress of dealing with a family.

The study，which was presented to the American Heart Association’s annual conference in Chicago，showed that successful women were 43 percent more likely to need heart surgery.The researchers looked at the records of more than 17，400 women in their 50s and 60s who all provided details on their work stress and job insecurity.Those with highly stressful roles，who felt they did not have the chance to use their creative skills，were most at risk.Women who were scared of losing their job were more likely to be overweight，have high blood pressure and raised cholesterol(胆固醇)．

The researchers recommend successful women take certain steps to try to protect their

health.These include regular exercise，trying not to bring your work home and having a close network of friends and family close by.

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项最新的研究表明：具有艰巨工作任务的成功女性更易患心脏病。对此，文章给出了一些预防措施。

9．What can be learned from the text?

A．Women working with creative skills are more likely to develop heart disease.

B．Women under pressure are more likely to suffer heart trouble than men.

C．Women with more relaxed jobs are less likely to have a heart attack.

D．Women succeeding in their work are 40% more likely to need heart surgery.

解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“They are 88 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with more relaxed jobs—almost double the risk.”可推知，C项正确。本句中的“They”是指上文提到的“有着艰巨工作任务的成功女性”。

10．According to the researchers，what can be done to protect women’s health?

A．Taking less work and doing regular exercise.

B．Doing regular exercise and trying not to bring work home.

C．Going on a diet and doing regular exercise.

D．Taking relaxed jobs and spending more time with friends.

解析：选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，专家给出的保护成功女性的健康的建议包括定期锻炼、尽量不把工作带回家，以及和亲友保持亲密联系。故选B项。

11．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

(P1＝Paragraph 1，P2＝Paragraph 2，P3＝Paragraph 3...)

解析：选D。篇章结构题。纵观全文，第一段给出了一项最新的研究成果，即有着艰巨工作任务的成功女性心脏病发作的几率是其他女性的两倍。接下来的三段具体介绍了成功女性心脏病发作的几率。最后一段提出建议。因此，D项为这篇文章的结构。

12．Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?

A．Career Women More Likely to Have Heart Attacks

B．A Recent Science Report

C．Career Men Less Likely to Have Heart Attacks

D．Bread-winner or Bread-baker?

解析：选A。标题概括题。文章第一段点明了主旨，即有着艰巨工作任务的成功女性更易患心脏病。故选A项。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

B Here’s one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it out. The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head — one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it because the sound was off. With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests th at the brain cells there were active ― even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone. Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology. For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a

第二十九组 (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解 A He was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful. Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct h im for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister！” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said，“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut！” It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it. I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s desk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper. That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really？” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anything to anyone！”“I didn’t know others liked me so much！”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.” No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents. Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a side-ways glance and simply said，“Dad？” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night，” he bega n.“Really？”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietn am War，” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.” I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature. After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something，”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.” Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry.
