1、（浙江選考）2022年高考英語大二輪復(fù)習(xí) 專題一 閱讀理解提升練7 Have you ever wondered that we parents are the true fighters in the college-admission wars?We are pushing our kids to get good grades,take SAT preparatory courses and build résumés so they can get into the college of our first choice.In our eyes,a degree from Stanf

2、ord or Princeton is the ticket for life.We see our kids’ college background as something showing how well or how poorly we’ve raised them.But we don’t realize we are selfish.We think more about ourselves than the kids. It’s true getting into college has generally bee tougher because the number of h

3、igh school graduates has grown.We suffer great anxiety;we worry there won’t be enough honours to show off.Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever.We hold the belief that graduates of best universities must enjoy more success because they get a better education.All that

4、 is seemingly acceptable—and mostly wrong. “We haven’t found any convincing evidence that a prestigious university (名牌大學(xué)) matters,” says Ernest T.Pascarella of the University of Iowa,co-author of “How College Affects Students”,an 827-page report of hundreds of studies of the college experience. Ac

5、cording to some studies,graduates of prestigious universities do earn much money.But even this seems like just a coincidence. Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may mean intelligence,talent and ambition.But there are many other things that are equally important.The reason:so man

6、y similar people go elsewhere.Getting into college isn’t life’s only petition.In the next petition,the results may change.Princeton economists Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top PhD programme.High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in;degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.? So,pa

7、rents,lighten up.America is a petitive society;our kids need to adjust to that but too much pushiness can be destructive.The very ambition we place on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment.They may have been so accustomed to being on top that anything les

11、ctual abilities are more important than their college background. B After years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wo

12、lves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s,wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,

13、where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations-major food sources(來源) for the wolf-grew rapidly.These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被),which reduced plant diversity in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyot

14、e populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes,and pletely drove away the park’s beavers. As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and

15、coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years ing up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today

16、,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a eback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of

17、the country as well. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.Wildlife research in the United States. B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area. C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves. D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park. 5.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragrap

18、h 2 mean? A.Tested.　　　　　 　　B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down. 6.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring. C (2018·浙江紹興一中高考沖刺) Picture this:Your boss asks you to make a last-second trip to a city a few hun

19、dred miles away for a meeting tomorrow morning.So how do you get there? You could take an early-morning regional flight,but frequent delays on small carriers might mean you risk missing your meeting and spending more time in the airport than in the air.You could spend a few hundred bucks on a train

20、 ticket,but don’t expect to get much sleep ahead of your meeting.You could also drive your own car,but that means traffic jams and a tiring night on the road. Tom Currier calls it the “500-mile problem” and now,the Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his partner,Gaetano Crupi,say they have a solution.I

21、t’s called “Cabin”—a double-decker(雙層公共汽車),luxury bus line with WiFi,a cozy waiting room and sleeping rooms that offer the fortable pressed sheets. Cabin began making overnight trips between Los Angeles and San Francisco last month.There is nothing particularly creative about packing people into a

22、bus and moving them from one place to another after dark.But Currier argues that the pany’s stress on providing passengers with a good night’s sleep separates Cabin from other forms of transportation. He says it allows the pany to profit from the Silicon Valley’s belief that a growing number of peo

23、ple will jump at any convenient opportunity to avoid driving as society begins to consider autonomous modes of transportation.He pares the overnight bus ride to “teleportation(遠(yuǎn)距傳輸)”.“We’re taking these 300-500 miles’ trips and turning them into an experience where you’re basically checking into a h

24、otel in one city and then checking out of the hotel in another city,” Currier says.“And when you bine our service with Uber and Lyft in our destination cities,you’re replacing the need for having a car entirely.” 7.What does the “500-mile problem” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.How to avoid traffic ja

25、ms during rush hours in big cities. B.How to finish the 500-mile overnight journey by car. C.How to choose a suitable transportation for trips. D.How to get to another city overnight. 8.In what way is Cabin special? A.It offers all the forts of home. B.It creates a good sleeping atmosphere. C

26、.It is designed for long-distance trips. D.It is equipped with high-tech facilities. 9.What can we conclude from Currier’s words? A.Cabins might reduce the sales of cars. B.Overnight bus rides are mon in the US. C.Currier plans to work together with Uber. D.Cabin’s service is of the quick and

27、simple variety. 閱讀理解提升練(七) A 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是一篇議論文。文章講述了在孩子的大學(xué)入學(xué)競爭中,父母才是真正的斗士。事實(shí)上,為了孩子的發(fā)展,我們也應(yīng)該重視一下孩子的其他方面,名牌大學(xué)并不是成功的唯一通行證。 1.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,父母對孩子施加壓力讓他們得到更高的分?jǐn)?shù),參加SAT預(yù)備課程以及寫簡歷為的是他們能進(jìn)入一流的大學(xué)。所以父母在孩子大學(xué)入學(xué)競爭中更關(guān)注的是結(jié)果而不是孩子,故選B項(xiàng)。 2.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“It’s true getting into college has generally bee tougher

28、 because the number of high school graduates has grown.”可知,高中畢業(yè)生數(shù)量的增加使得上大學(xué)越來越難。由此判斷選C項(xiàng)。 3.D　句意理解題。此句表達(dá)的意思是:孩子比他們的大學(xué)重要。根據(jù)下文的描述“Getting into college isn’t life’s only petition.In the next petition,the results may change.(上大學(xué)并不是生命中唯一的一場競賽,在下一場競爭中,結(jié)果可能就不一樣了。)”可知這里的意思是,孩子的能力比大學(xué)背景更重要,故選D項(xiàng)。 B 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是

29、說明文。文章主要介紹美國黃石公園重新引進(jìn)灰狼,以改善公園的生態(tài)平衡的舉措。 4.D　主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其是首尾兩段可知,文章主要介紹黃石公園重新引進(jìn)灰狼的事情。 5.C　詞義猜測題。從第二段第一句可知,過去灰狼在黃石公園隨處可見,但由于人類的發(fā)展,灰狼就逐漸被迫撤出了這個地方?？赏茰ydisplace意為“被迫離開”。 6.B　推理判斷題。從文章最后一句“The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves

30、to other parts of the country as well.”可推知,作者對于黃石公園引進(jìn)灰狼群持肯定態(tài)度。 C 【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇新聞報道。硅谷企業(yè)家Tom Currier和他的伙伴Gaetano Crupi一起設(shè)計了一種被稱為“Cabin”的豪華舒適夜間大巴專線,該專線可以讓乘客一路睡到目的地,解決了兩個城市間夜間交通中所謂的“五百英里問題”。 7.D　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Your boss asks you to make a last-second trip to a city a few hundred miles away for a meetin

31、g tomorrow morning”及第二段提及的不同的交通方式可知,“五百英里問題”指的是如何在夜間從一個城市趕赴另一個城市。故選D項(xiàng)。 8.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“But Currier argues that the pany’s stress on providing passengers with a good night’s sleep separates Cabin from other forms of transportation.”可知,讓乘客晚上有一個好的睡眠是Cabin與其他交通工具的不同之處,故選B項(xiàng)。 9.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Currier所說的話,尤其是“And when you bine our service with Uber and Lyft in our destination cities,you’re replacing the need for having a car entirely.”可知,當(dāng)你把Cabin的服務(wù)與Uber和Lyft結(jié)合起來時,你可能就完全不需要擁有一輛車了。由此可推知,Cabin有可能會降低汽車的銷售量,故選A項(xiàng)。
