青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（4）（答案及解析）‎ Words：330　难度系数：★★★　建议用时：9分钟 Enter a typical high school, and the first thing you see is the front office, where the principal dwells and grades are stored.The front office also reinforces familiar hierarchy: principal at the top, teachers in the middle, kids on the bottom, sitting with hands folded at their desks.‎ Now, imagine a school where the organizational structure is completely flat.At the New Country School in Henderson‎, ‎Minn, there is no front office.Visitors are immediately embraced by an airy atrium that is the centerpiece of this oneroom schoolhouse.And all around the room, 124 students sit at desksreal office desksworking at their own personal computers on their own projects.‎ When Dee Thomas and her colleagues got together 15 years ago to design a new high school，they knew there was one thing that had to do：The bell.“You don’t go into your job in the morning and say，OK，for the first 45 minutes of my job，I’m going to do the math part.’And then a buzzer goes off，and you do the social history part of your job.You don’t do that.”Thomas said.‎ There are no teachers at New Country.Every few weeks，students must present projects they’ve been working on to the rest of the school community.To prepare for their presentations，they gather at tables in the middle of the school atrium and present their work to their “advisers.”‎ Kids at New Country test better than their peers on the state tests and on the precollege ACT.The school sends 90 percent of its graduates to college.But that doesn’t tell the whole story.New Country struggles to keep its seniors from leaving.The school’s senior project is demanding－300 hours of work.‎ But for some students，New Country offers a rare alternative，a choice they can’t find anywhere else.And the school is constantly visited by educators from around the world looking for new ideas.That’s the foundation of efforts to reform American high schools today－that there’s a need to experiment with an institution that is failing millions of students.[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]‎ ‎5．The author mentioned the typical high school in the lst paragraph ________.‎ A．to tell us what the typical high school is like in ‎USA B．to present a sharp contrast with the experimental school, New Country C．to introduce the topic，New Country，of the passage D．to call on students to register in the typical high school 解析：选C。段落理解题。文章主要介绍了美国的一所实验学校New Country的情况，文章开篇提到typical high school的情况是为了引起下文。‎ ‎6．The following statements about New Country are all true except that ________.‎ A．New Country students sit in an open environment that looks a lot like a typical office B．students consult with“advisers”， who“teach” in the traditional sense C．no bells in New Country, students choose how to spend their time D．no traditional classes, students work on projects they select themselves 解析：选B。细节理解题。B项错在who“teach”in the traditional sense，只有在：To prepare for their presentations，they gather at tables in the middle of the school atrium and present their work to their “advisers.”才去求助于advisers。‎ ‎7．Compared with a typical high school, New Country is well received for its ________.‎ A．high test scores B．alternative nature C．comfortable conditions D．teaching methods 解析：选B。细节理解题。最后一段第一句中New Country offers a rare alternative，a choice they can’t find anywhere else.，可看出选B项。[来源:学,科,网]‎ ‎8．The passage mainly tells us________.‎ A．the concepts of an experimental school B．typical high school and experimental school C．new schools in future in ‎America D．education reform in ‎America 解析：选A。主旨概括题。文中主要讲述的是experimental school，所以B错误；C、D太笼统。‎ ‎**********************************************************结束 Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.‎ ‎ The University‎ of ‎Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention.”‎ ‎ “People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.‎ ‎ According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That’s not always a good idea.”‎ ‎ However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said.‎ ‎51.

Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kill proved the English professor was right. Dr Kill filled an open oil pail(桶) with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both in the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack of covers on the pails is the secret. Some of the warm water changed into vapor. This meant that less of the warm water was left to be frozen. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.‎ ‎1. Hundreds of years ago, Sir Francis Bacon found _______. ‎ A. the temperature of warm water drops faster than that of cold water B. warm water is heavier than cold water C. warm water has the same temperature as cold water D. warm water is not as useful as cold water ‎2. What Sir Francis Bacon said was right, but people didn't believe him until _______. ‎ A. late in the 20th century B. early in the 20th century C. three years ago D. late in the 19th century ‎3. Leave a pail with warm water and another pail with cold water in the same low temperature, you’ll find that _______. ‎ A. cold water freezes first[‎ B. warm water turns into ice before cold water C. warm water and cold water freeze at the same time D. much of cold water is changed into air.‎ ‎4. Why does warm water freeze first in the same freezing weather? ‎ A. Because some of the warm water turns to vapor, the amount(数量) becomes less than that of cold water.‎ B. Because warm water is lighter than cold water.‎ C. Because the temperature of warm water is lower than that of cold water.‎ D. Because cold water freezes with more difficulty than warm water.‎ ‎【答案与解析】本文介绍热水比冷水结冰快的现象。‎ ‎1. A。细节题。据第1句和第2句可知答案为A。‎ ‎2. A。细节题。根据 But few people believe him until 1970 可知答案为A。‎ ‎3.

Recently another boy told Bill that he should “go Ajax” his teeth. Bill was crushed. Had the other boy been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation. He could have dealt with it with tact. He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that’s “tact”.‎ ‎　　If a person isn’t sensitive to another’s feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful. Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set. Unfortunately, he used furniture polish(亮光油), which produced an oily film on the television screen. My mother smiled and thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly. Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect. Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact.‎ ‎　　“Tactfulness” also requires “truthfulness”.Doctors, for example, must be truthful. If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity. The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available. Doctors must use tact with patients relatives as well. Instead of bluntly saying, “Your husband is disabled,” a doctor might say, “I’m sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and…”‎ ‎　　Tact should not be confused with trickery. Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection and says, “This won’t hurt a bit.” Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it. It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits.‎ ‎　　Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected. Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in.‎ ‎9.When told he should “go Ajax” his teeth, Bill probably felt ________________.‎ ‎　　A．surprised                B．cheated C．regretful               D．painful ‎10.According to the author, his mother’s praise for the brother is _______________.‎ ‎　　A．both sensitive and tactful         B．sensitive but not tactful enough ‎　　C．truthful but not tactful           D．sensitive but trickish ‎11.The fourth paragraph mainly talks about __________________. w.w.w.k.&s.5*u.c.om A．how to comfort the patients ‎ B．how to use trickery carefully ‎　　C．differences between trickery and promises ‎　　D．another feature of tact ‎12.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?‎ ‎(The numbers stand for the paragraphs)‎ ‎[来源:1ZXXK][来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ 参考答案 9-12 DBDC ‎ ‎**************************************************结束
