2015届高三英语一轮复习：阅读理解特训1.doc 2015届高三英语一轮复习:阅读理解特训1 【2015高考复习】阅读链接 What is it that makes a house a home,A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other，who are harmonious(和谐的)and closer inside with one another than they are outside with those in the workplace or with classmates at school.A home is a place that's so magnetic that it's difficult to leave.In a home there is love，sharing and appreciation，and the members help one another. I have seen families on the street.But if they live，sleep，talk，and eat together，they are a family，even if they are poorly off.You don't need a roof to make a home.The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi,million,dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them.The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby.The parents work.The children do wrong.They don't talk and eat together every day.They rarely see each other.The truly homeless people are those with babysitters，caretakers，gardeners and maids.Parents are unaware，too busy making money outside the home that they don't live in.This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless.Who is to be pitied? Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home.If the computer is on all the time，the house turns into an office，even if everyone is at home.Many homes these days are just offices.Human communication has stopped.The computer eats up the time that one should be giving to others within the home.Using the computer moderately gives us time for gentleness，play and communication，not with a screen，but with a human being. 【语篇解读】 本文论述了如何才能使我们的房子成为家这个命题。 16(Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

I was on a treadmill(踏车), my head down and a guy on another treadmill cried out, ‘Mayor, is that the World Trade Center?’ ” Moments later, Watson was in another part of the gym, away from televisions. “Another guy said another one hit.” he recalled. Watson, now a state senator, recalls every detail, every emotion of Sept. 11, 2001. “I will never forget the feeling of watching the towers fall,” he said, recalling going into mayor mode when it became clear our nation was under attack. You, too, remember the details, the emotions of 9/11. Five weeks from today, on the 10th anniversary of that awful day, we will provide a forum for Central Texans to share their memories. At times, the memories are so vivid, it seems impossible it was so long ago. And there are times the memories are so horrific that it can be hard to comprehend that such a thing actually happened. For many of us, the 9/11 attacks on our homeland are the equivalent(等同) of what the attack on Pearl Harbor was for Americans on Dec. 7, 1941. The events were comparable, but the outcome was different. Does it seem to you America was in a better place 10 years after Pearl Harbor than we are 10 years after 9/11? We remain at war on two fronts. Our nation’s economy is shrinking. Too many Americans are unemployed. We face challenges so deep that some Americans — inheritors(继承人) of a national spirit long marked by eternal optimism about a boundless future — are thinking about whether our best days are behind us. “Sept. 11, 2001 was our day that will live in evil,” Watson said. “We need to make sure our children and grandchildren will say we reacted to our day that lived in evil at least as well as that generation that came before us reacted to Pearl Harbor.” Have we done that? We’d like to share your thoughts in a project planned for these pages on Sunday, Sept. 11. Are your memories consumed by the horror of the sights of that day? And, like Watson, do the emotions of the day still burn within you? 63(When America was under attack on Sept 11, 2001, Kirk Watson was________. A(in the office having a talk with his staff B(receiving a phone call from his colleague C(in the stadium watching TV D(at the gym taking exercise 64(It can be learnt from the passage that ten years after Sept 11, 2001, ________ . A(America is in a better place than they were 10 years after Pearl Harbor B(America’s economy is picking up C(Americans are worried about their future D(many Americans are living a happy life 65(The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ________ . A(hope the readers will talk about how they feel about the 9/11 attacks B(expect the victims of the 9/11 attacks will be tolerant C(call on all Americans to unite D(encourage American young people to fight against terrorists 66(What can be the best title for the passage? A(Great Pain Disappears Slowly B(Ten Years Later, Memory Still Burns C(Ten Years Ago, the 9/11 Attacks Occurred Unexpectedly D(The 9/11 Attacks, Forgettable or Forgivable 【参考答案】63—66、DCAB [史地自然型阅读理解]----- (三) Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens(雨水花园) are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak(浸入)slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and ecofriendly “green” way to treat storm water. What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%. Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once the native plants establish the necessary root system, it will require little care. Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don't need to be a professional environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you're ecoconscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards. 1(Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens? A. They are good for living conditions. B. They increase pollution. C. They can beautify the community. D. They improve the environment. 2(Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4? A. They can keep the rain and storm water. B. They can help reduce the pollution problem. C. They can be healthy for the people around. D.

A. they cost less and are much easier to get B. they may attract local wildlife to come C. they require little care from the local gardener D. they are more used to the local growing conditions 4(What do we know about rain gardens? A. They need little water after all the plants are planted. B. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week. C(They may attract local birds and change the local climate. D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%. 5. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A. Homeowners. B. Students. C. Engineers. D. Educators. (三) 【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了环境友好型的雨水花园是如何运作的。 1(B 细节理解题。由第四段第一句“What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment.”可知，雨水花园不会增加污染，故B 项有误。由第一段“Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens(雨水花园) are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.”可知，雨水花园可以美化 社区、改善环境以及对居住环境有益，为环境友好型花园，故A、C、D三项正 确。 2(B 细节理解题。由第四段第一句“What's more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment.”可知，雨水花园可以帮助减少污染。 3(D 细节理解题。由第五段第一、二句“Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions.”可知，建议种本地的植物是因为本地的植物更适应本地的环境。 4(B 细节理解题。由第五段第三句“Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week.”可知，雨水花园需要一个星期一英寸的雨水。 5(A 推理判断题。由本文最后一句“As long as you're ecoconscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.”可 知本文主要是写给房主的。 Though “nanometer”(纳米)is now a fashionable term all over the world, few people know exactly what it is. It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years. Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market, bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers. Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure, and is very small. One millimeter is 1000 micrometers, and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers. That is, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano materials are solid materials composed of particles(粒子) or crystallites(晶体) of less than 100 nanometer in size. Then, is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works? Are nano cups really so wonderful? A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine, which is the first such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China, specializing in researching the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicine. A water molecule(分子) is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It can be changed only by special working skillfully of the atoms. The material making up the cup can have nanometer particles . But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it. The water in the cup is still water. When people drink it, it will produce no special effect on human body. Professor Ji who worked in the Instiute of Nanomedicine told the reporter, so far, the investigation of nano materials is still limited in the laboratory. No commercial micro products can be produced yet. With the present level of science and technology, the time of everyday goods made of nanometer materials is still years away. The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material, which makes them more abrasion resistant(耐磨), much easier to be cleaned, or oil resisting or moth proof(防蛀). Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup. It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense. But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup. It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care. 67(What can we learn according to the passage? A(Millimeter is a smaller length unit compared with nanometer. B(Nano products are very popular with consumers. C(The water contained in the nano cup is not quite different from the tap water. D(A nano cup has a special function. 68(It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A(real nano products are being produced by some companies B(nano materials have been put into use in daily goods C(the nano cup is very effective in curing and health care D(real nano products haven’t become available for people 69(The underlined word “properties” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________. A(possessions B(reactions C(qualities D(symbols 70(What would be the best title for the passage? A(High-tech Products B(Nano Materials C(High-teach Research D(Nano Cups CDCB 【参考答案】 67—70、 [文化教育型阅读理解]-----(一) A practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and post- intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful. The book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on controversial forms. In the fourth edition，the main changes are as follows. 1. Explanation and examples have been brought up to date. 2. There is now more information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of place, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses. 3. Some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must, etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice. 4. The content list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more references. In this edition the sign “,” is frequently used to show a change of speakers in examples of dialogues. Although the sign “,” sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e(g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech. We wish to thank all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, Germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.
