When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

65.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.

A.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

B.they must reach the age of 60

C.they should be easy to make friends with

D.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

66.According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_____.

A.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

B.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

C.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

D.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

67.The Polar Bears like to swim year-round,for_____.

A.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter

B.they can remain young

C.they find it enjoyable and interesting

D.they might meet fewer troubles in life

68.The passage is mainly about_____.

A.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

B.a group of cold-water-swimming livers

C.the Polar Bears' life in New York

D.doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming

D

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.In fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.It's wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.

To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of

these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training.

In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:

1.Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water,don't risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.

2.Don't go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good.

Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.

3.Don't smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it.

4.Work at any activity that builds muscles.

69.Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.

A.they can talk

B.they start walking

C.they have no fear of the water

D.they are five or six years old

70.The author believes that fear of water is_____.

A.stupid

B.sensible

C.dangerous

D.not smart

71.The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.

A.Picture(1)

B.Picture(2)

C.Picture(3)

D.Picture(4)

72.According to the passage,you should not swim alone because_____.

A.the water is too cold

B.your parents would not be happy

C.something in the water might attack

D.you might drown

Is there a difference in meaning between"It's too late to make a telephone.Mary is asleep now." and "It's too late to telephone.Mary will be asleep now？"

Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentence"Mary is asleep now",the speaker is stating a fact.In the second

sentence"Mary will be asleep now," the speaker is saying what Mary usually does.In fact,it's possible that Mary isn't asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time.

So let's take two situations.In the first case,imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.

You:"May I speak to Mary,please?"

Mother:"No.It's too late.Mary is asleep now."

You:" Are you sure?It's only 10 o'clock."

Mother:" Yes.I went to her room and she was asleep."

The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.

Here is another case.Two friends decide to telephone Mary.

Jack:"Let's telephone Mary.It's 10 o'clock."

Jill:"No,It's too late.She will be asleep now."

Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock ,so now she'll probably be asleep.But it is also possible that she is staying up late.

73.In the first situation,Mary's mother_____.

A.wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleep

B.knows that Mary was asleep

C.has no idea whether Mary is asleep or not

D.wants to know if she can take a message for Mary

74.In the second situation,Jill_____.

A.knows that Mary has gone to bed

B.doesn't know that Mary is asleep

C.thinks it's likely that Mary cannot answer the telephone

D.is sure that Mary can not answer the telephone

75.According to the teacher,in which situation do you think the word "will" is used in the same way Jill uses it?

A.It's too heavy,I think.I'll help you.

B.Don't get into his office.He will be angry now.

C.You won't have to come to my office.I will send it to you.

D.Will you please do me a favor?

高考英语阅读理解三篇

(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

谈谈如何进行高三英语二轮复习-最新教育资料

谈谈如何进行高三英语二轮复习 二轮复习是在第一轮对应考知识点进行滴水不漏的复习后，按照高考命题内容、形式及要求进行的专题复习。二轮复习强调针对性，对各个题型进行专门集中训练，以达到熟悉题型、提高理解能力、掌握解题技巧的目的。同时二轮复习又要为第三轮的综合训练进行必要的知识和能力储备。因此，二轮复习要求老师指导学生巩固基础知识，正确理解和运用知识，侧重培养学生实现由语言知识到语言应用能力的转化。 在二轮复习的课堂教学中，既要发挥教师的主导作用，又要充分体现学生的主体地位，才能使得此轮复习真正具有实效性，起到承上启下的作用。 一、保持学生的学习兴趣与成就动机 “兴趣是最好的老师”，老师的第一任务就是把学生调动起来，而非逼他们学。对学生逼得越急，学生就越把学习看成是老师的事。让学生明确通过努力而达到的目标，并且明白目标的达成对于个人成长的意义。 1、清晰授课： 教师授课语言应清晰明了、重点突出、逻辑性强，学生才能较轻松地逐步理解，才会使兴趣持续； 2、多样化教学： 杜绝教师“一言堂”的教学行为，引导学生积极主动参与到

课堂教学中来也是吸引学生的一个妙法。比如我们在进行“习题课”时，让学生分析讲解会使他们更集中注意力，因为学生也希望自己的见解得到别人的承认，他们便会认真思考。同时，学生通过在大脑进行知识整理的过程也会使他们记得更牢。 多样化的教学手段在二轮复习中对教学很有帮助，利用多媒体的图像、声音、符号等在写作课上就能展示它大容量、直观、省时等优点。 3、任务导向： 每堂课都应有明确的任务目标，让学生明白这节课后他们要得到什么，带着任务去学习。“缺乏学习者的动机、兴趣和追求的教学活动，一定是低效的甚至是无效的。” 4、及时注意反馈，确保学生有收获： 在每次教学任务后，通过与学生交流、练习或问题讨论等收集学生反馈信息，了解学生掌握知识和技能的程度，以便及时进行教学调控，帮助学生查缺补漏，使学生有获得成功体验的动机。 二、根据学情，确定合理的专题复习规划 “最适合的教育就是最好的教育。”教师的价值在于加工教学的好坏，水平高低在于是否是能影响学生的知识加工。照搬书本的教学是枯燥、无吸引力的。教学活动是围绕学生的需求为中心的，因此按照自己学生的实际情况进行的教学才能使学生最大程度地朝着你预期的目标发展，才是最有效的教学。 1、确定合适的教学内容。研究《考试考纲》及《考试说明》

高考英语综合题专题复习【阅读理解】专题解析及答案

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 "What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it was brought about weary complaints over the past few months. On July 1st, the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and put it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure that rules are obeyed and to examine the nature of one's rubbish. Violators could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain hank loans or even buy train tickets. Shanghai authorities are responding to obvious environmental problem. It produces 9 million tons of garbage a year. But like other cities in china, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to pick out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of one-off chopsticks a year. Many citizens appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous(有害的), the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss(投掷）it by hand, Most annoying are the short periods for throwing trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad. （1）What's the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To complain about rubbish dividing. B. To explain the four categories of the waste. C. To introduce the rules on waste sorting. D. To show the goal of rubbish, sorting regulations. （2）What does the underlined word "Violators" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. People who don't pay for train tickets. B. People who argue with the monitors. C. People who obtain bank loans. D. People who are against the regulations. （3）What makes the citizens upset most about the rules? A. Complex distinction among the four categories of rubbish. B. Short scheduled time for tossing rubbish. C. Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage. D. Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior. （4）What can be the best title for the text? A. A Restart of Waste-sorting B. A New Age of Garbage Classification

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

高三英语二轮复习策略

高三英语二轮复习策略 高三英语组武焕芝 根据多年的教学实践可知，高考前的几个月是学生英语水平提高最快的阶段。因为经过第一轮的复习和积累，学生已比较扎实地掌握了课本的基本和基础知识。所以在最后的几个月里能否抓住机会，成功实现从语言知识到应用能力的转化、提高应试能力，将直接决定高考英语的成败。要使复习效益达到最大值，必须要讲究复习策略。我们是从以下几点入手的： 一、在思想和认识方面 步入二轮复习，已到了决战高考的冲刺期了，全体师生都在为高考呕心沥血，苦战不已。但是有的学生英语却出现学习和复习效率停止不前，甚至学过的知识感觉模糊，成绩再也难有较大提高，甚至忽高忽低，飘浮不定，有的老师称这为“高原现象”。还有一部分学生则抱着破罐破摔的想法，对英语失去了信心。针对这种现象，我们采取适时激励的方法，帮助学生建立自信和毅力。 温家宝总理在刚刚结束的“人大会答记者问招待会”中，反复强调自信心在当前经济发展中的重要性，同样，我们教师也应该号召学生建立自信，增强毅力。对于处在“高原期”的学生，我们要帮助他们制定相应的应对策略，鼓励他们要充满自信和毅力，尽快突破高原期，迎接“柳暗花明”的到来。对于丧失信心的学生，我们会运用课堂、作业评语、情感交流等等各种渠道进行鼓励，让他们时时刻刻感觉到“只要我努力，我就会成为英语王”。 二、在知识和能力方面 在这一阶段，我们的复习计划主要围绕一条主线、两条辅线展开。阶段前期的“一 GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAF

条主线”是大量的专题训练，“两条辅线”是基础知识的强化和仿真模拟训练；阶段后期的“一条主线”是大量的仿真模拟训练，“两条辅线”是教材复习和基础知识的强化。围绕这三条线我们的具体做法是： 1. 突破基础词汇关，培养词汇活用能力 词汇是英语学习中最基本的元素，是学好英语的基础。所以，在我们的英语复习过程中，我们对单词的记忆和学习一直常抓不懈，第一学期基础知识复习时，我们根据课本单元模块强化单词默写和学习；第二学期中二轮复习中， 指导学生科学地记忆单词仍是重中之重，我们要求学生根据《考试大纲》中的词汇表，坚持每天复习至少 GAGGAGAGGAFFFFAFAF

2011届高三英语专题复习阅读理解练习（3） A Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, He from a very early age has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows mote about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has dais boy ever had any education? Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us —our parents, brothers , sisters, friends —are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day" we go to school . Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird's nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn't like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people. Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell you if you are good at it. We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can' t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways. 1. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _______. A. African children are very poor B. some children are unlucky C. education takes many ways D. schools are of great importance 2. In the eyes of the writer . A. we have to learn from the people around us B. school is not important at all C. only the people caring for us can teach us D. education takes place everywhere 3.

I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the qu front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the “I was in the army,” he said. “ carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. enemy from the distance.” I listened He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth.

He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,”　 anyone the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed He in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.”　 okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s killing innocent people.” On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero.

It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order
