2013年高考第二輪復(fù)習(xí)英語江西版專題升級訓(xùn)練十四閱讀理解(三)第一節(jié)閱讀理解A(2012江西重點(diǎn)中學(xué)盟校第一次聯(lián)考)“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，”wrote Oscar Wilde.“This is the only proper basis for family life.”It's hard to say what Wilde would have thought of this week's cover photo or the pictures inside of dads and their children.Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分開) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.Gregory Heisler，who did the cover photograph，says he wanted the image to show genuine affections.So，rather than use professional models，he went out and found some “real dads and their real kids”Adds Heisler：“Instead of doing some skilful，over­produced photographs，I wanted something more authentic to the experience of being a father.”This isn't the first time that Heisler,39，has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of TIME.His photographs have decorated the front of the magazine some 20 times，ranging from Olympic athlete Jackie Joyner­Kersee and director Davis Lynch to former President George Bush and Ted Turner for “Man of the Year” issues in 1991 and 1992，respectively.But this week's TIME cover has special meaning，he says，because he and his wife had their first child，Lucy,16 months ago.The pictures appearing inside were all done by photographer Jeffrey Lowe.Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.Of all the pictures，Lowe was most deeply touched by the father­to­be embracing his pregnant wife.While most of the credit for the pictures rightly goes to those behind the camera，cover coordinator(協(xié)調(diào)者) Linda Freeman and assistant picture editor Mary Worrell Bousquette，who work behind the scenes，also deserve praise.Freeman，for instance，had the challenging task of making arrangements for the group portrait of child movie stars that appears on Page 62.Says she：“My greatest reward is working with these talented artists.”Bousquette edited the pictures that appear inside.“I wanted our story to show the many faces of fatherhood，”she says.At least in this issue，those fathers are seen as well as heard.Sorry，Oscar.1In this week's TIME the photographers wanted _.Ato show Oscar Wilde's view had gone out of dateBto show honor to the famous playwright Oscar WildeCto support Oscar Wilde's viewDto say sorry to Oscar Wilde2In Oscar Wilde's view，_.Afathers should stay actively involved in their children's livesBthere should be distance between fathers and children in family lifeCwhat fathers enjoy most is family lifeDfathers aren't sure about what they should do at home3What does the underlined word “genuine” mean?ArealBartificialCprofessional Dskilful4Jeffrey Lowe managed to show fathers' feelings accurately in his photos by _.Atrying to experience fatherhood himselfBspending most of his time with his pregnant wifeCstudying the relationship between each member in a familyDmixing with many fathers and their children5Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?AHeisler has conveyed complex ideas for the cover of Time several times.BMary Worrell Bousquette is a cover coordinator.CLowe was most deeply touched by pregnant wives.DThe author praises the work by the photographers and the editors.B(2012濟(jì)南三模)Batteries are included，but the charger's not.The Nokia E­Cu concept phone doesn't need to plug in；it charges from any heat source.Designer Patrick Hyland says it can even work off the warmth of your pocket.The first time “it would take approximately seven hours to reach full charge，then after that it's continuously charging by keeping the phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degrees Fahrenheit.” That's one hot pocket.He's put a thermogenerator(熱偶發(fā)電器)inside the phone that transforms heat into electric potential energy.To better conduct the heat to that little power plant in your pocket，the E­Cu(E for energy，Cu for copper)is coated by copper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.Nokia doesn't have current plans to build the phone，so for now it remains a concept.But Hyland says he's open to anyone who wants to cooperate.For Americans this technology would certainly be convenient.It would also save a bit on energy bills and waste.“Annually，unwanted phone chargers produce 51,000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them，” Hyland says.So a charger­free phone is also a green phone.Though adapting our plug­in habits would help a group of people，most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.The real potential for charger­free cell phone technology is what it could enable places where plugging in isn't an option，like rural areas in the developing world.Cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities，aid and health advances.A phone like the E­Cu，if it ever comes to be，would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects.Let's hope Patrick finds a partner.6What do we know about the E­Cu phone?AIt doesn't have a battery or a charger.BIt is properly marketed and sells well.CIt's continuously charging from any area.DIt has a highly conductive copper cover.7What's the function of the underlined part “heat sinks” in Paragraph 2?ATo give off heat.BTo measure heat.CTo turn up heat. DTo supply heat.8A charger­free phone is friendly to the environment because _.Ait is just a conceptBit is self­chargeableCit brings convenienceDit is no waste of money9From the last two paragraphs we can know that _.APatrick is not ready to cooperate with othersBpower lines spread every corner of the worldCphone projects may help solve the energy crisisDphones like the E­Cu have huge potential benefits10What is the best title of the text?ADesigner Patrick HylandBNokia Concept Phone on SaleCCharging Your Phone from PocketsDBenefiting from Phone TechnologyCIt's a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST)：within a week，two students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides，” said Zhang Jingyuan，one official of HUST.“Media coverage may arouse some students' negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious，” Zhang said.The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm­to­dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one­on­one counseling to them.Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers' mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.However，the second suicide came seven days later.Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn't see anything to indicate suicide.Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn't know this until the students' close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.According to Zhang，there are only three full­time counselors working in the university's counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained，“It's unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students' mental problems.”Effective prevention comes from long­term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency，said Hu Yi'an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won't resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties，” said Hu.According to Hu，the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.When HUST conducted the dorm­to­dorm examination，students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March，Peking University also released a controversial policy，which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”However，Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real­life communication.11The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”AeagerBunhappyCunwilling Dafraid12Why did the advisors and class leaders go to the students' dorm?ATo learn the first suicide.BTo avoid the second suicide.CTo learn about the students suffering depression.DTo offer help to the students.13In which column of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?AEntertainment BCampusCAdvertisement DCulture14Which one of the following is NOT the reason why officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews?AThe university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.BThey had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides.CMedia coverage may arouse some students' negative emotions again.DTwo suicides within a week is really a nightmare for the university.15What's the main idea of the passage?ATwo students of HUST committed suicide.BWhat can we do to prevent the student's suicide?CThe reasons why the students committed suicide.DThe dangers in the universities in China.DMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activities.It may be walking，cycling or swimming，or in winter，skating or skiing.It may be a game of some kind，football，hockey，golf，tennis，or it may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion(熱情，激情)for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks on high mountains？This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man­made rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.There are，of course，rules of a different kind，which would be dangerous to ignore，but it is this freedom from man­made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports，we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”We would be mistaken in this assumption.There are，it is true，no “matches” between “teams” of climbers，but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men.He has to fight the forces of nature.This sport requires high mental and physical capacities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year.A skier is probably past his prime(全盛時(shí)期)by the age of thirty，and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men，but they probably climb with more skills and less wasted efforts，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.16Mountaineering is a sport which involves _.Ahardship BcoldCphysical risks Dall the above17The main difference between a sport and a game lies in origin of the _.Auniform BactivityCrules Dskills18Mountaineering is also a team sport because _.Ait involves rulesBit involves matches between teamsCit requires mental and physical qualitiesDmountaineers depend on each other while climbing19Which of the following is TRUE?AMountaineers compete against each other.BMountaineers compete against other teams.CMountaineers compete against nature.DMountaineers compete against international standard.20What is the best title for the text?AMountaineeringBMountain ClimbersCMountaineering Is Different From Golf And FootballDMountaineering Is More Dangerous Than Other Sports第二節(jié)閱讀表達(dá)(2012 南昌一中月考)1Interviewing is a skill that can be learned and the key lies in the “three­Ps” of planning，practice and preparation.Here are some tips on making a successful interview.2Prepare as well as you possibly can.Search the web and research the background of the company and the people who you think are going to be interviewing you.Learn exactly what it is that they do and exactly how you would fit in with the company.Most importantly，try to understand the “culture” of the company.You need to communicate in a way that mirrors their company standards；this will show you can fit in that organization.Understand a little of what their competitors are doing.This will show you've bothered to find out where their position in the market is.3Just as important is your own personal preparation.Think about the key things you want to communicate and why you would be ideal for the job.Think about you can sound enthusiastic，without sounding desperate；now you can sell yourself.If they ask you a question，such as “tell me about your CV”，and you can't do it fluently，you will find the interviewers will lose interest and you won't get the job.4During the interview，be a very good listener and if you can find some common ground with your interviewers，you will have a big advantage over your competitors.The interview is basically an interaction between two people，so how you come across as a person is of utmost importance.As soon as you enter the company building，make sure everyone you meet is left with the impression that you are a pleasant person.Sometimes an interview question might seem very simple but，don't be deceived，there is always a reason for them asking that question.5Generally wear a suit and tie，but it does depend on the job you are going for.You should have discovered，when you studied the company culture，what is expected.For media companies，for example，being smart but casual might be the style they want.They are looking for someone who is comfortable with himself or herself.In this case you should dress for who you are.6It is natural if you are nervous，in fact it is a good sign；it shows you are taking the interview seriously.However try to avoid nervous mannerisms，such as tapping your foot or playing with your hair.Positive body language is important，so adopt a good posture.If you slouch in your chair the interviewer will think you could be sloppy in your work as well.Positivity is essential in all aspects of your interview.1What is the main idea of the passage？(no more than 8 words)_2Give the subtitle for the third paragraph.(no more than 6 words)_3What makes you have a big advantage over your competitors？(no more than 20 words)_4Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 7 words)If you want to apply for a media company，you should wear _ _.5The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to _.(no more than 5 words)參考答案第一節(jié)A1. 答案：A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Several clearly oppose the outdated idea of fathers as detached(使分開) from the parenting process and that's just what the photographers intended.”可知，時(shí)代的攝影師們認(rèn)為Oscar Wilde的觀點(diǎn)已經(jīng)過時(shí)了。 2. 答案：B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章開頭“Fathers should be neither seen nor heard，wrote Oscar Wilde.This is the only proper basis for family life.”可推知，Oscar Wilde認(rèn)為在家庭生活中，父親要和孩子們保持一定的距離，故答案為B項(xiàng)。 3. 答案：A解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句下一句的內(nèi)容可知，Gregory Heisler想向讀者展示最真實(shí)的父親對孩子的關(guān)愛之情，故“genuine”與“real”同義。 4. 答案：D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段中的“Although Lowe has not experienced fatherhood yet，he observed many warm moments of parenting by spending a lot of private time with each dad and child.”可以看出，Lowe通過觀察那些父親和孩子在一起的溫馨時(shí)刻，來傳遞自己的理念。 5. 答案：A解析：判斷正誤題。由第二段中的“This isn't the first time that.some 20 times”可知A項(xiàng)正確，由第四段的第一句可知B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第三段的最后一句可知C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；通讀全文可知，D項(xiàng)在文中沒有信息支持，故可排除。 B6. 答案：D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“.the ECu(E for energy，Cu for copper) is coated by copper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.”可知，這種手機(jī)有一個(gè)銅制的后蓋，可以防止電器過熱，所以有一個(gè)導(dǎo)熱性很強(qiáng)的蓋子。 7. 答案：A解析：推理判斷題。畫線部分后面“.like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.”作出了解釋，說明是用來散熱的。 8. 答案：B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Annually，unwanted phone chargers produce 51,000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them.”和“So a chargerfree phone is also a green phone.”看出，這種手機(jī)不需要像普通手機(jī)那樣插入電源充電，有節(jié)能的功能；根據(jù)第一段“.it charges from any heat source.”可知這種手機(jī)是從熱源那里獲得電源，通過里面配置的熱偶發(fā)電器把熱能隨時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)換為電能，因此綠色環(huán)保，答案為B項(xiàng)。 9. 答案：D解析：推理判斷題。從后兩段看出，即使在沒有電源的地方也可以使用這種手機(jī)，結(jié)合“countless opportunities，aid and health advances”判斷，這種手機(jī)潛力無限、前景廣闊。 10. 答案：C解析：主旨大意題。本文介紹的是一種不用插入電源、在口袋里即可獲得電能的手機(jī)，所以答案為C項(xiàng)。 C11. 答案：C解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段“We had a hard time calming down students.”以及第四段“Media coverage may arouse some students' negative emotions again.”可知校方不愿意接受采訪。 12. 答案：C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段開頭“Advisors and class leaders conducted dormtodorm checks to find students suffering depression.”可知答案為C項(xiàng)。 13. 答案：B解析：推理判斷題。Entertainment指“娛樂版”；Campus指“校園版”；Advertisement指“廣告版”；Culture指“文化版”。本文介紹的是華中科技大學(xué)學(xué)生跳樓自殺的原因和解決辦法，所以應(yīng)在“校園版”。 14. 答案：A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。校方對第一次自殺事件迅速做出了反應(yīng)，這不應(yīng)該是他們不愿接受采訪的原因。 15. 答案：B解析：主旨大意題。本文首先由描述華中科技大學(xué)兩名學(xué)生自殺引出“大學(xué)生自殺”這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象和問題，然后分析產(chǎn)生此現(xiàn)象的原因，最后提出解決方法。解決方法是重點(diǎn)，所以答案為B項(xiàng)。D16. 答案：D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“.to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks on high mountains？”可知，爬山者要遭受寒冷、艱辛，還要冒各種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。可知選D項(xiàng)，“包含以上全部內(nèi)容”。 17. 答案：C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句“There are no manmade rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.There are，of course，rules of a different kind.”可知，運(yùn)動(dòng)與游戲的主要不同在于規(guī)則。 18. 答案：D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第三句“.when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork.”可知，登山運(yùn)動(dòng)員在登山過程中也需要相互依靠。所以登山運(yùn)動(dòng)也是一項(xiàng)集體運(yùn)動(dòng)，正確答案為D項(xiàng)。 19. 答案：C解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第三句“There are，it is true，no matches between teams of climbers.”以及第五段第二句“He has to fight the forces of nature.”可知，登山運(yùn)動(dòng)是同大自然進(jìn)行比賽。 20. 答案：A解析：主旨大意題。本文主要在討論登山運(yùn)動(dòng)并將其與其他運(yùn)動(dòng)相比較，A項(xiàng)最具概括性。第二節(jié) 1. 答案：Tips on making a successful interview 2. 答案：Make Full Selfpreparation 3. 答案：To be a good listener and find some common ground with your interviewers. 4. 答案：smartly and casually/in a smart and casual style 5. 答案：that you are nervous
