密云区2019高考英语阅读理解系列训练(10)及答案 Mexico City‎ is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.‎ Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.‎ ‎    The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.‎ ‎    One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.‎ ‎    Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec‎ ‎Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.‎ ‎    You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs (纪念品)to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.‎ ‎50. The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.‎ ‎      A. the high speed of the traffic                         B. the heavy traffic of the city ‎   C. the polluted air in the city                            D. their safety in the city ‎51. Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?‎ ‎   P = Paseo de la Reforma       M = the National Museum of Anthropology C = the Chapultepec Castle     Z = the Mexico City Zoo ‎52. Which of the following attractions may interest those who want to study the military (of the army) history of Mexico City?‎ ‎      A. The National‎ ‎Museum of Anthropology.      B. The Coyoacan market. ‎ ‎       C. The Chapultepec‎ ‎Castle.     D. The Aztec sites.  ‎ 参考答案-------50---52、 BDC ‎***********************************************************结束 If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.‎ ‎ Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.‎ ‎ The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.‎ Researchers randomly assigned(分派)173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”‎ Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.‎ Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.‎ ‎16.The purpose of writing the passage is .‎ A.to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables B.to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s diet C.to explain why children hate to eat vegetables D.to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents ‎17.The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.‎ A.shoot from behind the back B.make a lire in the hackyard C.produce an unexpected result D.achieve what was planned ‎18.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?‎ A.Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.‎ B.It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.‎ C.Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.‎ D.Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.‎ ‎19.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?‎ A.By comparison. B.By asking questions.‎ C.By giving examples, D.By discussion.‎ ‎20.What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A.Children like rewards, not verbal praise.‎ B.Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.‎ C.Children are difficult to inspire.‎ D.Parents should give up verbal praise.‎ ‎16‎ ‎17‎ ‎18‎ ‎19‎ ‎20‎ A C B A B ‎*************************************************************结束 The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation’s largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn’t dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isn’t dropping for poor and minority students.[来源:1ZXXK]‎ Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans--or any plans--to teach students motivation(动机). Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that.‎ ‎    Years ago, families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these ‎ families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training. Otherwise, it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop, but only worsen.‎ ‎    Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they must stay in school.‎ ‎    Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.‎ ‎    Ask students which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant—education not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staff—education and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.‎ Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation.‎ ‎11. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1?‎ ‎ A. Few students can afford to go to school in large cities.‎ ‎ B. A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now.[来源:学&科&网]‎ ‎ C. There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early.‎ ‎ D. Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students.‎ ‎12. Without the help of youth professionals,_____.‎ ‎ A. more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school.‎ ‎ B. it is likely that the dropout rate in schools won’t continue to drop.‎ ‎ C. some parents will be more convinced of their children’s future.‎ ‎ D. the schools will make proper plans to solve the problems with dropout.‎ ‎13. The author takes factory work for example mainly to ______.‎ ‎ A. tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the past ‎ B. show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society[来源:学_科_网]‎ ‎ C. show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate ‎ D. emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary ‎ ‎14. It can be inferred that______.‎ ‎ A. both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate ‎ B. many new jobs don’t need children’s high school diploma ‎ C. working in a store doesn’t require a high school diploma ‎ D. most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study ‎15. If students play the “Replace Me” game, the result would be “______”‎ A. They will know that they can ‘always’ do without a diploma B. More of them will drop out early to go to work C. They will discover that lack of education is a disadvantage in choosing jobs D. They will become better at using computers to hunt for a job 参考答案 11—15 、CBDAC ‎**********************************************************结束 ‎4.(201*·上海卷)(A)‎ ‎ The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden‎, ‎New Jersey. ‎ ‎ During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre ____ not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas --- and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.‎ ‎ My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her. ‎ ‎ Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities---and it did---but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as ‎ the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.‎ ‎ Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favorite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted(多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.‎ ‎65. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?‎ ‎ A. She lent her some serious classics. B. She cultivated her taste for music.‎ ‎ C. She discovered her talent for dancing. D. She introduced her to adult plays.‎ ‎66. What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?‎ ‎ A. A book of great fun. B. A writer of high fame.‎ ‎ C. A serious masterpiece. D. A heartbreaking play.[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎67. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ____.‎ ‎ A. develop her capabilities for writing. B. give her a chance to collect material C. involve her in teenage social activities D. offer her a series of writing jobs.‎ ‎68. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who _____.‎ ‎ A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined ‎ B. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential ‎ C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils ‎ D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning ‎【答案】DAAB ‎***************************************************************结束 ‎ A ‎ We live in an age of unprecedented(空前的) opportunity: If you’ve got ambition, drive, and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession—regardless of where you started out from.

Instead, concentrate on and build on your strengths.‎ ‎“What Are My Values?”‎ What are your ethics(道德标准)? What do you see as your most important responsibilities for living a worthy, ethical life? Do your organization’s ethics resonate(共鸣) with your own values?

Based on these qualities, what kind of work environment would you fit it best? Find the perfect fit, and you’ll transform yourself from a merely acceptable employee into a star performer.‎ ‎“What Can I Contribute?”‎ In earlier eras, companies told businesspeople what their contribution should be.
