课时二 阅读技能训练
一、阅读理解。
体裁:说明文 题材:介绍节日
【文章大意】本文讲述了英国的苹果节的活动。
1. D
【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【答案分析】根据第二段中Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.可知,参加相关庆祝活动的人们可以品尝各种各样的苹果,故选D。
2. C
【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【答案分析】根据第二段的最后一句Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知,由于其奇特的外形,使人们更多地感到好奇,可推断出这种苹果是非常少见的,故选C。
3. B
【命题意图】考查词义猜测题。
【答案分析】。根据第三段中One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it可知,Orleans Reinette是最好吃的苹果品种之一,但它的种植条件非常苛刻,所以喜爱它的人想经常吃到它是徒劳的愿望,故选B。
4. B
【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【答案分析】综合全文可知,作者向读者介绍了一个节日--苹果节,并推荐人们参加这个节日,故选B。
5. A
【命题意图】训练阅读技能——总结推理
【答案分析】定位主题句为第二段首句“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.”即苹果活动的多样性体验,故A项最能概括本段主要内容。
【干扰项分析】B 选项扭曲原文(作者说 Decio "worth a try" / Cat’s Head 是"curiosity")。C选项过度聚焦 Decio(例子),忽略段落主旨“多种苹果体验”。D选项提及超市局限(细节),未涵盖段落核心“活动提供多样苹果”。
二、语篇结构。
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了中国传统节日——清明节及其传统习俗和传统美食。
6. C
【考点】主旨概括、总领下文

7. B
【考点】主旨概括、指代承接
【详解】根据空前小标题Tomb sweeping(扫墓)可知本段主要介绍清明的扫墓习俗,B项承接上文介绍扫墓的起源,上下文连贯,故选B。
8. E
【详解】根据空前小标题spring out(春游)可知本段主要介绍清明的春游习俗,上文提出“在户外度过美好的时光”,E项承接上文介绍了可以进行的户外活动,上下文语意连贯,故选E。
9. G
【考点】指代承接
【详解】根据上文“Qingtuan, a green rice ball tiny enough to fit into your hand, is also called Qingmingguo or Aiguo.(青团是一种绿色的饭团,很小,可以放进你的手,也叫清明果或艾果。)”选项G中的it与上一句中的“Qingtuan, a green rice ball”是指代关系,且与下一句中的it指代一致。故选G。
10. A
【考点】并列承接
【详解】根据上文“In celebration of Qingming, people from Shaanxi make steamed buns, known as Huamo, made into different shapes.(为了庆祝清明节,陕西人会把被称为“花馍”的馒头做成各种形状。)”选项A中的“With each distinct look(每一个不同的样子)”与上句中的“different shapes”呼应,其中的“a good blessing”与下句中的“Some are for…; others represent…”呼应。

With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Secretly I was praying no one would answer,but a woman did. As I described the dog to her in detail, her voice shook with excitement and she wanted to come right over. Within minutes I heard a vehicle pull up in the driveway and some footsteps stop at the door. Head cradled in my hands and heart hammering, a thousand thoughts crossed my mind: I could pretend I wasn’t home or tell her, “I’m sorry, you have the wrong address.” But it was too late: the bell rang and Molly was barking.
Opening the door, I saw a woman with a little girl sitting in a small wheelchair. One look at Molly,and the little girl’s face lit up. “Here, Lucy,” she yelled. “Come here!” Molly instantly obeyed,wagging her tail wildly. My heart sank. Seemingly sensing my feelings, the woman explained that Lucy was more than just a puppy to her daughter, who was left crippled for life in an accident. “Lucy gave her a reason to live,” she choked. Suddenly I felt relieved. God has blessed me with so much, I thought. As they pulled out of the driveway, I smiled, knowing I had done the right thing—that puppy was exactly where she belonged.

课时二 阅读技能训练
一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
【2016·全国·高考真题】
If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
1.What can people do at the apple events?
A.Attend experts’ lectures. B.Visit fruit-loving families.
C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D.Taste many kinds of apples.
2.What can we learn about Decio?
A. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look.
C. It is rarely seen now. D. It has a special taste.
3.What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope.
C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To show how to grow apples. B.To introduce an apple festival.
C.To help people select apples. D.To promote apple research.
5. 为了练习略读技能,请快速浏览第二段(不要逐字阅读),关注主题句(通常是第一句或最后一句)和关键词。再完成下面这道段落大意题。
What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Apple events offer exposure to diverse and historical apples.
B. Decio and Cat’s Head are not worth growing due to poor taste.
C. Roman apples like Decio are the most valuable at apple events.
D. Supermarkets have limited apple choices to commercial varieties.
训练后反思:
How will you apply the "topic sentence strategy" to identify main ideas in future readings?
二、语篇结构。

In my first year of teaching in Houston, I was asked to act as Batman at a birthday party.
One night,the headmaster handed me a costume and said, "Tomorrow you're going to be Batman." I knew a Batman with a moustache at the party was a huge red flag. I knew it was especially bad for my image,but I didn't want to change my physical appearance because that would mean I was funnier, so I chose not to shave.
The party was at a huge public park, and I had to park my car far enough away so that the children couldn't see me. Then I walked to it secretly, but unluckily, the children saw me coming from about 300 meters away.
I started to regret not shaving. When I got close enough for them to see my face clearly the entire party broke into laughter. I wanted to turn around and run back in embarrassment, but then the laughter changed into cheering and applause. I ran into the party and saw the "birthday"boy with his dad.The dad laughed," I told you, son.A Batman has a moustache." Then he showed me the huge birthday cake with a Batman drawn on it, and the Batman had a moustache. I just stared at it in disbelief. But it was a thick black line drawn underneath his nose, just like my moustache.
All the children said, "A Batman doesn't have a moustache." Instead of admitting the cake was messed up, the parents tried to save face, saying,"No, Batman always has a moustache. He just shaves it for his movies." Naturally, the children were doubtful, but my moustache became the detail that confirmed what the parents had said. Those children of the perfect age still believed in wonders and superheroes and they were pleased to find something kept hidden from others.
That year, I struggled a lot with my identity.Was I a teacher or a clown(小丑)? But that day, I may not have been the hero they ordered, and certainly I wasn't the hero they expected, but I was the hero they needed.

Everything you know is in your brain. For what you don't, you can ask the web. However, as you can imagine, in the past there were no computers and no web at all. Think about people living 3,500 years ago, in places where pyramids towered above them. The lack of explanations about how things worked inspired the ancients to make discoveries and feed their curiosity.
But do not think they knew nothing: in fact, we still wonder how the Egyptians could build the pyramids using their own, rather rudimentary equipment. They wrote down their knowledge in books (called papyrus scrolls) so that later people could benefit from their skills.
Living safer and healthier was a top priority for the ancients: When they hurt their heads in battles, they used to heal their wounds using cures, some of which were recorded on a papyrus now known as the Edwin Smith Papyrus. Interestingly, this is the oldest written evidence of the word "brain" we have on Earth, and it dates back to 3,500 years ago!
However, writing the word "brain" on a papyrus did not solve all the questions about it. Around 2,500 years ago, for example, ancient Greeks wondered whether the mind and soul lay in the brain or in the heart.
2,000 years ago, Roman physician Galen of Pergamon was sure he had solved the question: It was the brain, not the heart, that was the center of mental life. However, Galen had to convince the people around him that what he had discovered was true. It was not easy, mostly because people held their earlier beliefs. Every neuroscientist, just like Galen did, has to carefully observe reality, focus on something that is really interesting, think about how it can work, perform experiments, and discuss the data they get. This way, they can obtain convincing evidence to be shared with others.
5. What encouraged the ancients to make discoveries?
A. The hope for keeping curiosity. B. The need for writing books.
C. The search for explanations. D. The wish to work faster.
6. Which word can best replace "rudimentary" underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Complicated. B. Primitive. C. Electrical. D. Protective.
7. What can be learned about the Edwin Smith Papyrus?
A. It was probably a medical text. B. It was finished 2,500 years ago.
C. It was considered useless at first. D. It was written by Galen of Pergamon.
8. How did Galen convince people of his discovery?
A. By finding evidence from papyrus scrolls.
B. By asking many scientists to support him.
C. By following strict scientific methods.
D. By teaching people to do experiments.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.
She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost and found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The following week, something told me to check the lost and found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank at what I read. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never said anything about it to the kids or my husband.
By then we had named the puppy. She looked like a Molly, so we called her Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework she was there to help.
There was only one problem with this perfect dog: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately looking for.
