A

The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候选人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.

But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote , especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn’t vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.

This is not only because young people don’t like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.

“Young peopl e are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pa y taxes (税), they care about schools and the community.”

Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don’t vote.

Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they ha ven’t learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.

He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.

21. What percentage of young voters wouldn’t go to vote?

A. 9 percent.

B. 12 percent.

C. 20 percent.

D. 55 percent.

22.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. US Young Not Voting

B. US Young and Their President

C. Young People’s Power

D. Voting for the New US President

A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school’s teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).

Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7.pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students a ged 16 and upwards get great night’s sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.

The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.

Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.

“There are 168 hours i n a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,” said Mr Holloway, “At Hampton Court House we don’t think we have the answer for everybody; it’s about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.” He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).

Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. “I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,“said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.

23. Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?

A. It may be good for students’ study.

B. Students wanted a morning lie-in.

C. Students were often late for school.

D. Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.

24. What can we learn about the new start time?

A. It’s suitable for every student.

B. It was based on scientific research.

C. Students are following the new school time now.

D. Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.

25.. Experts think young people’s getting up later .

A. is a bad habit

B. is a natural thing

C. is because of laziness

D. is helpful to their study

26. In Mr. Holloway’s eyes, students can improve their productivity by .

A. working harder

B. not wasting time

C. using time wisely

D. learning new study methods

27. What’s Gabriel Purcell-Davis’ attitude towards the new school time?

A. Doubtful.

B. Supportive.

C. Worried.

D. Objective.

全国卷2019年高考英语复习题强化技能限时训练(十四)

强化技能限时训练(十四) 阅读理解(主旨大意类)+阅读填句 (限时35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 ( A ) 【社会文化类】 I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval,he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later,as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it,he got up again. I was getting frustrated,but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up? This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet,calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the will power to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life. Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities,and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders,guiding them and helping them find their way. I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously,he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique.It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own lives. 1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him . A. work fast B. go polite C. stay relaxed D. keep attentive 2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to . A. his son’s doing better while standing up B. his failure in keeping his son under control C. his own experience as a school boy D. his disappointment with his active child 3.By this passage,the author attempts to tell other parents to . A. correct their kids’ manners from the early ages B. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors C. develop a good relationship with their children D. guarantee their children’s freedom at home 4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?( ) A. Parental help with teens’ study B. Adult influence on teen growth C. Kids’ success in their own styles D. Friendship between generations
