英语高考阅读专题训练——日常生活类 A Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?‎ ‎   The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.‎ ‎   First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.‎ ‎   But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights(吵架). What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter. There are three steps to being friends again:‎ Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.‎ ‎1. Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.‎ A. plant trees  B. find friends    C. get happy   D. keep fit ‎2.

Suspicious of everyone and unable to communicate ‎ in English, my parents weren’t’t about to let their kids hang out in the streets. And since they both worked, we boys spent a lot of time at home.‎ The main public library on Merrick Boulevard was the first place I was allowed to visit on my own. I started going there when I was eight. Everything I needing was located on what seemed to me an endless single floor. Wandering around that building aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon offered a sense of freedom I’d never experienced before.‎ Once my father dropped me off, it didn’t really matter what I did so long as I could explore. I find it interesting that people today say that libraries are no longer about books; they weren’t’t really about books for me back in the 1970s, either. It was more about being around other people who looked like they were being productive-turning pages, making copies, patiently waiting for items. All this was attractive to me.‎ I felt a certain level of dignity and self-respect at the library. I didn’t’t borrow books from the library despite spending practically every Saturday of my childhood there. I certainly went over hundreds and hundreds of them during my walks around the building- sports, politics and the solar system were my favorite sections. But I felt no great need to bring books home. We had no room for books in our apartment anyway. I felt like a poor kid when I read books at home. I felt like everyone else when I read books at the library.‎ ‎5.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. How a Public Library Set Me Free B. Culture Shock Is Never a Barrier C. My Aimless and Boring Childhood D. A Building Shaped a Nation’s Spirit C Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though ‎ the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what you are for!”‎ The walk didn’t’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone alone the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was cancelled one spring evening.‎ It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.‎ A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when. I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I know, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge , watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.‎ On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.‎ I replied, “Yes, Dad ,it’s me. I’m home.”‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word “grumbled”in Paragraph I probably mean?‎ A. Accepted happily.   B. Spoke unhappily.    C. Agreed willingly.    D. Explained clearly.‎ ‎10. What made the author feel upset was _____.‎ A. the tiredness after long hours in labs.       B. the fear of seeing something moving.‎ C. the feeling of being less than valued.      D. the loneliness of riding the bus home.‎ ‎11.

B. he was concerned about his son’s safety.‎ C. he didn’t’t want to meet his son at the doorway.   ‎ D. he didn’t’t think his son was old enough to walk alone. ‎ ‎12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Terrible Journey Home.             B. My College Life.‎ C. My Father’s Secret.                     D. Riding Bus Alone.‎ D Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?‎ There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play--creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games. ‎ However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”‎ Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.‎ Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself. ‎ So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?  ‎ ‎13.The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to _______. ‎ A. show his worries about the effect on health B. lead into the topic of the passage ‎ C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games ‎ ‎14.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _______.‎ A. the contents of the game are complex B. games contain extreme violence C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment ‎ ‎15.According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives? ‎ A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.‎ B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.‎ C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates.‎ D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions. ‎ ‎16.In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea _______.  ‎ A. by giving some examples                B. with descriptive words   ‎ C. by providing some numbers              D. with some research results E I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.‎ I know lots of women who skip breakfast（不吃早餐）, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time. Others think they’re “saving” calories. still others just don’t like breakfast food.‎ But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R, D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.‎ Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.‎ So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.‎ ‎17. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.‎ B. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.‎ C. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.‎ D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.‎ ‎18. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.‎ A. eat something for breakfast                    ‎ B. be careful about what you eat C. heat up food before eating it                    ‎ D. eat calorie-controlled food ‎19. The text is written mainly for those_____________.‎ A. who go to work early                                    ‎ B. who want to lose weight C. who stay up late                                  ‎ D. who eat before sleep F Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology，I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others.‎ On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule—no laptop，iPads，phones，etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class，some of them were not happy.‎ Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am antitechnology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.‎ The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.‎ I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge，they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .‎ I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up.‎ ‎20． Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________.‎ A．the course material            B．others' misuse of  technology ‎ C．discussion topics             D．the author's class regulations ‎21．The underlined word “engage ”in Para.4 probably means________.‎ A．explore         B．accept          C．change      D．reject ‎ ‎22．According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom may________.‎ A．keep students from doing independent thinking B．encourage students to have indepth conversations C．help students to better understand complex themes D．affect students' concentration on course evaluation ‎23．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author________.‎ A．is quite stubborn             B．will give up teaching history C．will change his teaching plan soon    D．values technologyfree dialogues in his class G One morning, I stepped out of bed and put my feet on the floor. Suddenly, a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺，扎) an ice pick (碎冰锥) through my left foot.‎ Figuratively (比喻地) speaking, yes.‎ I took another step and he stabbed it again. This went on all day. Step, stab, scream. Over the next few days, I started limping (跛行). My whole body hurt. Even my hair. I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else.We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.‎ My brother deals with pain every day. He’s also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (脑瘫), needs a walker to walk, doesn’t take much for granted. I had to wonder: What would he think about my foot?‎ Finally, after a week of pain, I went to see a very nice foot doctor. The doctor studied my foot, took X-rays, shook his head, and said the little man’s name: Arthur Itis, or Arthritis (关节炎).‎ I knew it well. I’d often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents, all attacked by Arthur’s ice pick when they got older.‎ ‎“Wait,” I said. “Doesn’t Arthur usually just pick on old people?”‎ The doctor smiled, looking at my chart. “How old are you?”‎ I gave him a look. “Never mind,” I said. “Can you fix it?”‎ ‎“Well,” he said, “we can try.”‎ He listed several options and I chose the injection (打针). It didn’t hurt much. Not half as much as the ice pick.‎ That was yesterday. This morning, I awoke, took a few careful steps and … hallelujah!It hurt just a bit, but no ice pick. I looked under the bed. No sign of Arthur. Maybe he was hiding in the closet, waiting for another day.But for now, he was gone, and I was grateful.My mind began to race with plans to do all the things I’d been putting off for days:unpack, clean the house, wash my hair …‎ Then it hit me. Another stab. Not in my foot. In my heart. I remembered that I hadn’t called my brother in a long time.‎ It’s easy to take some things for granted. But it should never be the people we love.‎ ‎24.   Why didn’t the author go to see the doctor for the first week?‎ A. Because she was afraid that her brother would laugh at her.‎ B. Because she thought it was too cold to step out of her room.‎ C. Because she expected that the pain would gradually disappear.‎ D.
