江苏省2011届高三英语一轮阅读理解练习（8） A We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech―and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.” Cheep up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. 1．The main idea of this article is . A．that you can improve your speaking ability B．that a poor speaker can never change C．to always make a short speech D．that it is hard

to make a speech 2．Paragraph 2 implies that . A．many people are afraid of giving a speech B．many people are happy to give a speech C．many people don’t prepare for a speech D．many people talk too long 3．The phrase “talk over their heads” means .

Theories about what makes up of criminal behavior have varied widely. One traditional belief is that the criminal code stands for God’s law and is independent of the will of man. In contrast, there is the modern idea that the criminal law is simply the instrument by which the ruling class maintains its power. There is also a wide variety of explanations for the cause of crime. There is the theory that assumes that an individual choose criminal conduct of his own free will and is therefore responsible for his actions. Other theories describe the criminal more or less as a helpless individual in the grasp of biological, psychological, or social forces beyond his reason or control. Modern studies of crime often depend heavily on statistics（统计）. For example, burglaries are most associated with the poor areas of large cities. But one thing is clear; it is that criminal behavior is connected with a great number

of social, psychological, economic, political, legal, and moral factors. To search for the deciding factor of crime is a too simple action. 6．The author believes that the causes of criminal behavior are . A．primarily social B．simple and direct C．widely varied D．often religious 7．Laws which emphasize punishment for criminal behavior are based on the belief that . A．the criminal’s behavior is controlled by social factors. B．The criminal is responsible for his behavior. C．Crime is connected with poor urban areas. D．There are many causes of criminal behavior 8．The modern idea that the law is a means for the ruling class to maintain its power is essentially a . A．political theory B．psychological explanation C．moral theory D．biological explanation C CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers’ things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service work with passengers are not satisfied with. Oversales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets.

13．From the passage we can know that . A．customers are not satisfied with CBC B．sometimes CBC sells more tickets than its plane’s fixed seats C．CBC has more than twenty planes which fly to all the capital cities of the world D．customers can only buy tickets with ready money D Beijing’s markets will soon be flooded with more and cheaper colourful fruit such as orange mangos and green durian （榴莲） all year round. Thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last Monday between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations（ASEAN）， more and more tropical Southeast Asian fruit will enter the country. The agreement means that from July 1,2005, China and ASEAN

countries will begin to cut tariffs. There are about 7,000 products included in the cuts. As global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. When products are sold across national borders, countries put a tax on them. This type of tax is called a tariff. Just like removing an obstacle from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between China and ASEAN countries. It means more products and lower prices. The agreement will bring real benefits for Chinese customers, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. “In the Beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to very, very, very expens ive. Now they will be cheaper.” The current tariff rate on durian is 22 per cent but will fall to zero in 2005. In the first 10 months of this year China did US＄84.6 billion of trade with ASEAN countries. Experts believe this may reach US＄100 billion next year. Founded in 1967, ASEAN now includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos. 14．A tariff is money paid . A．when buying goods B．to sell or buy products of foreign brand names C．to sell or buy goods across the border of the country D．to go through the customs 15．Which of the following statements about the agreement is NOT true? A．It will result in an increase in trade between China and ASEAN countries. B．In might cause the prices of ASEAN products to fall. C．It may greatly benefit the Chinese customers. D．It won’t bring any benefits to producers of ASEAN countries. 16．We can infer from the story that . A．China lacks fruit B．tariffs are an important factor in foreign trade C．tropical countries have cheaper fruit D．China prefers to trade with ASEAN countries 17．The best title for this passage is . A．Tariff Cut Boosts Trade B．Best Ways To Sell Fruits C．Tropical Fruit

To China D．China Joins ASEAN E A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the earth but in the sun; in fact, at the sun’s very center. It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat. This energy is liberated at the center of the sun as billions upon billions of nuclei hydrogen atoms clash with each other and fuse together to form nuclei of atoms. The output of light and heat of the sun requires that some 600 million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium （氦） in the sun every second. Thus the sun has been doing for several thousands of millions of years. The nuclear energy is released at the sun’s center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic（电磁的） radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelength. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the sun, to be remitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation in its turn, is absorbed and remitted. As the energy filters through the layers of solar inner, it passes through the X-ray part of the spectrum （光）, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the sun’s light and heat is given off in such direction that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the earth. 18．What does the passage mainly discuss? A．The production of solar light and heat. B．The physical and chemical nature of life. C．The conversion of hydrogen to helium. D．Radiation in the X-ray part of the spectrum. 19．The passage indicates that, in comparison to radio waves, gamma waves . A．produce louder sound B．are less magnetic C．do not form in the sun’s center D．are not so long 20．According to the passage, through which of the

following does the energy released in the sun pass before it becomes light? A．The X-ray part of the spectrum. B．Electromagnetic space. C．The solar surface. D．Interplanetary space.

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm. He was just saying: “I’m king of this forest, and here is your reminder!” Once his message was delivered, he allowed me 10 (stay) and watch. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________ 二．（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）(2018年6月浙江卷) Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese 1 (dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners 2 come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap 3 can be to eat out. I still remember 4 (visit) a friend who’d lived here for five years and I 5 (shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time. While regularly eating out seems to 6 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 7 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 8 (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 9 (weigh) problems. If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home 10 dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________

浙江省杭州市萧山区第三高级中学高三英语限时训练1月日 含答案

A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
