2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解寒假统编（1）【高考英语模拟题】 A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes(冰川). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldnt be frightened.The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didnt seem well. It turns out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealands Department of Conservation. “ What happens now is up to the penguin.”Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter(发射机)so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.29. Where is the young penguin supposed to appear?A. On the sunny beach. B.

This is according to an article by fellow journalist Ashley Lutz. Her suggestion is sound. The main idea of her article is that products from Tiffany & Co. find their biggest petition not from other luxury brands but from panies like Apple. Lutz points out that luxury products are often only for “show,” while the attraction behind tech products is functionality.You find few people in the United States today willing to purchase luxury goods at full price. It didnt use to be that way. Luxury goods used to be actually exclusive. That meant you needed to travel to the right store to purchase them, and you didnt even have the option of getting a deal.Today, no one wants to pay full price for luxury goods. People have the unfortunate belief that fakes (赝品) somehow are equal to originals, and if you cant get a deal on eBay, Amazon, or in an outlet store, purchasing a luxury product probably isnt worth it. Luxury brands struggle to remain high-end (高档的) images despite the reality that the American consumer is motivated much more by discounts than they are by brand names or image.Yet people stand in line to pay full price for a new product from Apple and crowds gather to hear about a new smart phone. While electronics are updating every day, people are purchasing technology at full prices much more than they are purchasing luxury goods. What are high-tech makers doing right that luxury makers are pitifully failing at? Carefully looking at the situation, it would appear as if the Internet didnt hurt the luxury industry, expectation from the consumers did. What people want these days more than anything is stuff that does something. They want cars that drive, shoes that are fortable, games that are fun to play, screens that are beautiful to look at, tools that are useful, and entertainment that is entertaining. Little of that fits into what the luxury industry has typically offered with its status, image, and fine materials. The sad reality is that luxury products arent that luxury any more.64. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Nobody likes luxury goods any more.B. Luxury goods are of poor quality nowadays.C. Tech products bee the new “luxury goods”.D. Iphones have taken the place of luxury products.65. The underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 2 means _.A. unique and with no bargain B. low in priceC. hard to find D. easy to sell66. From paragraph 3 we can know that _.A. people have found that some luxury goods are fakesB. people can buy luxury goods at a low price on eBayC. luxury brands will give up high-end imagesD. consumers prefer brand names to discounts【参考答案】6466、CAB 【浙江省金丽衢十二校xx高考英语第二次联考】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。 A Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was plaininghow difficult it was to study English.No surprises there. It is a difficult language to master, justlike Chinese. I made a few suggestions based on myexperience. One involved a very valuablefact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher, Dr. SmithHe is a gifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to memorize things, like poetry, essays, speeches, etcHis advice to us students is that for memorization purposes, there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more receptive than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes. This 40-minute super memory period is divided into two parts: the 20 minutes before wesleep, hnd the 20 minutes after we first awake. The theory supporting this is pretty simple. First,the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root thaninformation obtained during the noisy daytime; and，second, our mind is free of disturbance whenwe first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs, like a blank slate（石板） I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school yearsIn my university days,our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day, on which we would bequizzed the following day. Without the magic 40-minute technique, theres no way I would havepassed those daily quizzes. As far as language study goes, its not only useful for memorizing vocabulary. Its also a veryuseful window of time to listen to the language were studying even with background noise, andeven if its at a level we find difficult to understand. It might be audio（声音的）language studyaids, or just radio, TV or whatever. Beyond our years of formal education, memory skills are hugely important in any career.How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from. a prepared text, or read theword-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide? These areannoying, boring, and ineffective ways of municating. They are almost guaranteed to lose theaudiences close attention and interest, let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. Andyet lots of people still make this mistake. If we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentationcontent on a 100% word-by-word basis, but well be familiar enough so that we can spend muchmore time making eye contact with our audience. We will engage them in the process, whileglancing at our text instead of staring at it. This will also free up our hands and arms to conveysome extra messages through gesture As you see, the technique really works, but like many things,- it takes practice to perfect it.Therefore，wed better find ways to use the language outside of the classroom，as regularly andfrequently as possible. One fundamental rule of language learning is, Use it, or lose it” Seize the forty-minute learning window and well bring in a rich harvest of language learning.41 Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？A. Dr. Smith is born with the great ability to memorize things B It is surprising that English is as difficult to master as Chinese. C The authors high school Latin and Greek teacher has a positive influence on him. D The author made a few suggestions on learning English based on his teachers experience.42The authors teacher remended the 40-minute“super memory”period partly because A it is less noisy in the forty minutes than in the daytime B we are always more peaceful when we awake in the morning C our brain is more active in the forty minutes than the other time D the last information obtained before bed is more likely to remain43 We can learn from the passage that the 40-minute technique A. guarantees that we understand the difficult language B aids a speaker in reading his speech from a prepared text C helps the author pass those daily quizzes in his university days D makes a speaker memorize the presentation content pletely44 Whats the authors attitude towards the 40-minute technique? A. Approving B. Objective C. Doubtful D. Cautious45 Which of the following is the best title for this passage？ A.
