2019-2020年高二英语测试题：阅读练习2 含答案Learning aim: to improve students reading ability 一阅读理解DArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的） basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation. Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In xx, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a rooms ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant(居住者)s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的） light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax. So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. We have a very limited number of studies, so were almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）, architect David Allison says. How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? Thats what were all struggling with.68. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research? A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture. 69. The passage tells us that _. A. the shape of furniture may affect peoples feelings B. lower ceilings may help improve students creativity C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed 70. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _. A. the problem is not approached step by step B. the researches so far have faults in themselves C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect(发现) D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns71. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点） C: Conclusion ENever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of contents on the back. Third, pare prices, that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets e in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV mercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the mercial(商业广告), or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. 72. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except _. A. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands B. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items C. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural” D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands73. What does the writer think about ads? A. They are believable. B. They are attractive. C. They are harmful. D. They are helpful. 74. One of the authors suggestions to consumers is _. A. to make use of advertisements carefully for shopping B. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch D. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”75. The author implies that _. A. advertisements sometimes dont tell the truth to the consumers B. discount clothing stores are only good places to go to for shopping C. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy less than you plan to D. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low二任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） More than one million school children in the United States have gone through a program called Reading Recovery. The program is for six-year- olds who are struggling to learn to read. Reading Recovery came to the United States in 1984. More than 25% of the United States public schools with first grades are involved in the program. The Reading Recovery method calls for a specially-trained reading teacher to work with children one at a time. The lessons take half an hour each school day. The teachers use reading, writing and the study of the letters of alphabet in the program. Lessons take place for twelve to twenty weeks. During the lessons, the teacher looks for ways that the child seems to learn best. Then the teacher works to help the students develop these strategies to solve to use and apply these strategies each time they read. Students read many short books, some of which are written in a way similar to spoken language. Children also read and write stories or messages in their own words. The material gets harder with time. The lessons end when the students reading ability is within the average level of the class. The Reading Recovery Council of North America says eighty percent of the students who finish the lessons can read and write within their class average. And more than ninety-nine percent of the Reading Recovery students in the schools have passed the state reading examination. Some people may not like the higher cost of the Reading Recovery method. But supporters say it saves money in the end. They say it helps prevent the sad results and the expense of letting children fail in school.Title: Reading Recovery The _76_ of the programHelp children with _77_ in learning to readFacts about the program Time when it came to America 1984 The number of schools that use the program in the US.
