2019-2020年高考英语二轮专题复习精练 阅读理解（12）xx辽宁省大连市高三双基测试“Sooner or later, we will have to recognize that the Earth also has rights to live without pollution. What we must know is that human beings cannot live without the Earth, but the planet can live without humans.”Evo MoralesI am not one to tell people what to do; I basically believe that as Americans we have a right to our own opinions, social issues, etc. Now, with that being said, I must stress one issue that seems to be a growing trend：pick up your trash.I love the fact that parents involve their children in outdoor activities. In fact, I encourage outdoor activities for children. I think that being outdoors away from technological devices fuels the imagination. That is to say, it provides materials for childrens writing and creation. I really do love seeing a family sitting along a river bridge and enjoying some summertime fishing as well as exploring.But what I do not like is going back to the same area the next day and finding the place littered with trash. Pick up your trash.If you are teaching your children about outdoor activities, such as fishing, teach them to respect nature as well. When packing your supplies for the days outing, throw a small kitchen bag in with the rest of the items. Use the kitchen bag to throw your papers, cans, wrappers, containers and everything else that is not at the site upon arrival. Remember to take the kitchen bag with you. Dont misuse your responsibility and model.I am the first one to admit that I am not perfect when it es to the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”program. From my desk right now, I can see a pile of old magazines that need to be taken to the recycling center. But I would never leave trash along a roadside or other public areas.I would like to see future generations enjoy the outdoors without all the pollutants left behind today. For now, I would just like to take my wildlife photos without litter in the background. Pick up your trash.1What is implied in Evo Morales words in Paragraph 1?A. Human beings should change their attitude towards the Earth.B. Human beings will live forever on the Earth safe and sound.C. Human beings have realized the importance of caring about the Earth.D.

To ask parents to guide their kids to respect nature in outdoor activities.文章大意作者通过引用别人的话介绍了美国人的环保理念：收拾好自己的垃圾。1A。推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可推知，人类已经严重地污染了地球，地球迟早有一天会抛弃人类而独立存在，由此暗示出人类必须改变对地球的态度。所以选A项。2D。细节理解题。从倒数第二段中的“From my desk right now, I can see a pile of old magazines that need to be taken to the recycling center.”可知，作者认为自己也有不足的地方，因为他没有及时清理桌面上的旧杂志。所以选D项。3D。写作意图题。从文章多处出现的“Pick up your trash”，第三段中的“I love the fact that parents involve their children in outdoor activities.”以及第四段中的“If you are teaching your children. teach them to respect nature as well.”等内容可知，作者写本文的目的是叫家长指导孩子在进行户外活动时爱护环境。所以选D项。Bxx课标全国卷Given that many peoples moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapores Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, thats because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levis and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it es to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.The CRFs produce is “green”， made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Serieswith Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆), cheese and other flavorsalso does well and is fun to taste.

He has a lot of marketing experience.6Which line of the CRF produce sells best?A. The Connoisseur Series.B. The Exotic Series.C. The Alcohol Series.D. The Sichuan Series.7The underlined words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who _.A. are particular about chocolateB. know little about cocoa beansC. look down upon othersD. like to try new flavors文章大意本文介绍了Singapores Chocolate Research Facility的一些情况。4C。考查细节理解。由第一段第一句中的“Given that many peoples moods (情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate.”可知，巧克力能改善人们的情绪，故本题选C。5D。考查推理判断。由第二段中的“thats because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department.”可知本题选D。6C。考查细节理解。由最后一段第一句“The CRFs produce is green， made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.”可知本题选C。7A。考查推理判断。根据画线部分后的定语从句“who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others”可知，chocolate snobs是指那些对巧克力非常熟悉的人，故可推断出他们也是对巧克力比较挑剔的人。A项中的be particular about意为“对挑剔”。Cxx河南省豫北三校高三联合考试Every Tuesday, my daughters have two hours of softball practice.

She noticed me and the familiar blue homemade RAK card and was whispering to explain what I had done previously.For fortyfive minutes, I would type and look up.

They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature! According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebritiesfamous peopleworry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time，” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th centuryB. C， painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his soldout readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to plain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about filmstars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often plain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.5.

What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Wellknown actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.7. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.8. What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere. B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.文章大意本文为议论文。作者主要对现在的名人没有隐私的问题发表了自己的看法。长难句Although being famous might sound like a dream e true, todays stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.尽管成名或许听起来就像梦想实现了一样，可如今的明星感觉就像动物园的动物，承受着少有人能够想象的压力。本句是复合句，although引导让步状语从句；feeling like zoo animals是现在分词短语作状语，主句为todays stars face pressures that few of us can imagine。5B。推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二、三、四句“They are at the center of much of the worlds attention.
