[高考题型练习提能力]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
London—A morning's train ride away,across the Channel,English kids talk about
Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century,Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities,London
and Paris,in A Tale of Two Cities.These days,it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French
and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lacking at home over recent years,perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved
across the Channel.With an undersea tunnel,they could travel between cities in three
hours.The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris,rich in beauty,is more attractive,but London feels more full of life,
and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me,the difference is that London is real,alive,”said Trevor Wheeler,
a banker.
Chantal Jaouen,a professional designer,agrees,“I am French,but I'll stay
in London,”she said.
There is,of course,the other view,Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London
two years ago.“I think people laugh more in Paris,”she said.
In fact,London and Paris,with their obvious new similarities,are beyond the
old descriptions.As the European Union gradually loosened controls,Londoners
flocked into Paris to shop,eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,”said Larry Collins,a writer
and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well , he finds the two now fit together
comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s,and it is still a wonderful place,”
2
Collins said.
“But if I had to choose,it would be London.Things are so much more ordered,
and life is better,but certainly not cheaper.”
In fancy parts of London,rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit,a French journalism student with perfect English,many young
people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose.
“I love Paris,my little neighborhood,the way I can walk around a center,
but life is so structured,”she said.“In London,you can be who you want.No one
cares.”

B
There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British.If
prying into(打探)others' lives were an Olympic sport,then Team GB would surely take
the gold medal.
And when the British can't watch the lives of real people,they have another
source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera.British soap operas are very
different to US TV dramas.For one,they are normally longer running.The two most
popular,Coronation Street and Eastenders,have been running for 48 and 24 years
respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week,so remarkably there have been
more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.
The most obvious difference is that,unlike US dramas,the British soap operas
focus on the real world.There is little glamour(魅力),the stars are rarely rich,
and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the
characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added.This
means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they
go through on the show.
Because these soap operas last for decades,the cast is ever changing.The shows
rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world,people come and go
all the time.However,there are exceptions.Coronation Street's William Roach,76,
has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960,
and he is still a regular.
The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural:people from the
north of Britain tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester.People
from the south generally prefer Eastenders,which is set in the east of London.The
show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Body language mistakes you should avoid at work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore,you should
be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself.
Avoiding eye contact (接触)
When speaking with a workmate,avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional
(不专业的). 1 Therefore,you should always keep eye contact especially when you
are making a point.
Crossing your arms
Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to
put a distance between yourself and them. 2 In order to give others a warm
feeling,just keep your arms open.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would
rather be somewhere else. 3 Therefore,when you are speaking to your workmates,
try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture such as dropped shoulders or a lower neck can mean that
you are not interested in what is going on around you. 4 Also,keep your head
high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don't care much about the person you are shaking
5
hands with.Try to greet the people with a firm (有力的) handshake.However,don't
forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite. 5
A.Therefore,try to find the right balance.
B.Nod your head to show that you are listening.
C.It looks like you are not interested in being there.
D.This shows that you have confidence in yourself.
E.This is generally considered as a position of defence.
F.It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.
G.It also shows that you are not confident or show no interest in the topic.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了在工作中应该避免的几种身体语言。
1.G [由该空前的“When speaking with a workmate,avoiding eye contact makes
you look unprofessional”可知,和同事说话时避免目光接触会让你看起来不够专业。G
项内容是:这也表明你不自信或是对话题没有兴趣,所以符合此处语境。]
2.E [由该空前的“Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others
and that you want to put a distance between yourself and them”可知,将双
手交叉于胸前是一种防备的姿势,故选 E 项。]
3.C [由该空前的“you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else”可
知,不停地看表会让对方觉得你不想再待下去了,故选 C 项。]
4.F [由该空前的“dropped shoulders or a lower neck”和该空后的“Also,keep
your head high”可知,讲话时站直或是坐正非常重要,故选 F 项。]
5.A [由该空前的“Try to greet the people...can be impolite”可知,和他人握
手时要把握好力度,故选 A 项。]

状语,be based on 意为“以……为基础”。故填 Based。]

中作宾语,指事物,故填 what。]
8.seconds [考查名词复数。a few 修饰可数名词的复数形式,故填 seconds。]
9.uses [考查主谓一致和时态。根据语境可知此处用一般现在时,everybody 作主语,
谓语动词要用单数形式,故填 uses。]
