A ★
When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important proct in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Ecation is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and ecation is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November.

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.
61. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice
62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.
A. spend his holiday
B. find ways to grow better crops
C. do some research about the island
D. help the Javanese with their illness
63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?
A. To eat them.
B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise.
D. To make money by selling them.
64. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.
A. eat more rice B. eat more meat
C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills
65. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickens
B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins
C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful
D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ

C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality
D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

D ★★★
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one’s success
72. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead
B. they’ll influence you
C. they’ll cover your shortcomings
D. they’ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends
B. come to the right way of making friends
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. arrange the time with your friends properly
75. The passage is mainly written for ______.

A ★
Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.
Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.

There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.
61. What is the passage mainly about?

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll

⑶ 高考!英语阅读理解!!!

做阅读理解和完形填空，是考查综合水平的题目，平时积累一些解题方法也是非常必要的。下面我来说说我的建议：

在做阅读理解和完形填空过程中，要做到如下几步：
1、先粗略阅读全文一遍。
对于阅读理解，可以先看一下文章后面的若干个小题，目的是了解你将要回答的是什么问题，以便带着问题阅读，做到有的放矢。
对于完形填空，可以随意选择答案填入文中，以便于通读全文。
这一遍的目的是了解文章属于什么方面的内容，是说明文还是叙事。。。文章的重点是要告诉读者什么与众不同或鲜为人知的东西。

2、仔细阅读全文第二遍。
这一遍进入解题阶段。对于完形填空可以直接选择答案填入文中，对于阅读理解，就要带着刚才预先浏览的问题去阅读，并做好解答。

3、检查校对阅读，第三遍。
如果时间不足了，第三遍阅读，就要对自己的答案没把握的部分仔细阅读、核查正误。
如果时间充足，第三遍阅读就要持一种否定自己答案的态度来阅读全文，以检查自己答案的正误，必要时仔细推敲。
特别提醒注意两点：
一、我在这里均说阅读“全文”，意思是要整体把握，尤其是文章中局部内容不明确的情况下，要从全文的整体意思来思考局部的可能意思，不能独立于全文这外。
举个简单例子：
全文都讲某人是如何的为人好，局部的内容也要从“为人好”的大局出发来考虑。如果文章局部确实讲的是他“为人坏”，那么，在讲“为人坏”的内容之前，必然有一个转折词如“但是”等。（可见，一些“but"之类的“小词”，你可千万不能轻视它，它的作用很关键。）

二、第二遍阅读解题过程非常重要，一定要静心、专心。答案一旦做出，在第三遍及以后检查过程中，如果没有绝对把握就绝对不能改变了。因为后面的脑子必然比前面时候更糊涂。

最后，关于要不要查字典。
在平时阅读中就要尽量根据全文的整体环境来猜测字义，实在猜测不出，就算了。因为有些生字纵然不明字义，也不影响理解或不影响解答所需要解答的问题。如果它就要考这个生字的意义，那根据上下文就应该能猜测得出来。在做完后，根据需要（注意：没有必要全部生字都去查。查多了，一影响情绪和解题目兴趣，二影响速度和效率。三没有必要了解全部生字，比如一些偏僻地名等。）以查字典形式来检查你的猜测是否正确。

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool

1. Stuntmen are those who ______.
A. often dress up as actors
B. prefer to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D. often fight each other for their lives
2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.
A. playing their dirty tricks
B. selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast moving trains
3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.
A.he needs little protection
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is endangered
D. his safety is generally all right
4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?
A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.
5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C.Parachutes must be of good quality.
D. The cliff is too high.

Activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while ring the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only ring the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.
One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction (分散注意力) to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most alt reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a graal increase in literacy (读写能力) and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some rection in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.
Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in ecation. However, whatever its advantages, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media (媒介) on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.
By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term "reading" referred to.

1. Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?
A. Because silent reading had not been discovered.
B. Because there were few places for private reading.
C. Because few people could read for themselves.
D. Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.
2. The development of silent reading ring the nineteenth century showed .
A. a change in the position of literate people
B. a change in the nature of reading
C. an increase in the number of books
D. an increase in the average age of readers
3. Ecationalists are still arguing about _________.
A. the importance of silent reading
B. the amount of information provided by books and newspapers
C. the effects of reading on health
D. the value of different types of reading material
4. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?
A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.
B. To change people's way to read.
C. To show how reading methods have improved.
D. To encourage the growth of reading.

In some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the same night in Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.
But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference(无所谓) of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.
American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.
Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public ecation and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime(罪行). Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.
In the United States, most ecation dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.
The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.

1. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.
A. they took no interest in new technology
B. they did not pay great attention to preventing fires
C. they showed indifference to fighting fires
D. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment
2. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American children
B. American children have not received enough ecation of fire safety lessons
C. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United States
D. America's large population leads to more fires
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.
B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.
C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.
D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.

Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word; radiation(辐射).
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in __________.
A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection

2. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills few cells
B. if it damages few cells
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproce themselves
3. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the above results

Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll（玩具娃娃）in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads. Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft - coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I was made once more known of the poor collection of toys in the sty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending small gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects--a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft - drinks. And thus it was that my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, e to the shadows and the film of st through which I was looking, but I was sure that a deep impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.

1. What made an impression on the author?
A. The doll's unusual face.
B. The collection of toys.
C. A stranger he met at the store.
D. The beauty and size of the doll.
2. Why does the author mention his niece?
A. She likes dolls.
B. The doll looks like her.
C. She lives near Sheftel's.

C. He wanted to buy some envelopes.
D. None of the above is right.
4. The story takes place in the ______.
A. early summer B. early spring
C. midsummer D. late spring

Technology is the application (应用)of knowledge to proction. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more proction and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available (有用的)to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animalbreeding techniques, and has extended our life span via()medical technology.
Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics (统计) show that the united States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources (少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes (代用品) for many of them through our research programs.
Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of proction (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.

1. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The definition of technology
B. Modern technology
C. The application of technology
D. The development of technology

The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these“fireworks”of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of tire.”Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes(灰)high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?
The earth is made up of many layers(层). The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, that it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the surface through cracks(爆裂声)in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.
Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cols and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.

1.The underlined word“erupts”means .
A. moves down B. breaks away
C. builds up D. suddenly throws out lava
2.Which words in the passage have the same meaning as “melted rock”?
A.“Volcano”and“explode”. B.“Crust”and“hard rock”
C.“magma”and“lava” D.“Volcano”and“magma”
3.Which is the correct order of the layers of the earth(beginning with the top layer)?
A. crust-hard rock-magma-soft rock
B. crust-hard rock- soft rock-magma
C. magma-soft rock- hard rock-crust
D. volcano-cracks-magma-crust
4.The best title(标题) of the passage should be u.
A. The Volcano B. Kilimanjaro Volcano

⑸ 求大大推荐一本高中英语完形填空与阅读理解的练习书。

英语不是数学，不是你练完型，完型分数就会上去的，阅读也一样，没有背考点的做题等于浪费时间，背了该背的东西，不做题，照样可以拿高分。

我建议你现阶段就把高中所有课后单词都背完，总共就3500词，每天背100个，也就一个多月就可以背完第一轮，之后只要循环复习循环记忆，不怎么花时间就可以把单词记得很牢了。

可以这样来背，睡前1个小时用来背单词，刚醒来的20分钟用来复习前晚背过的内容，早读课复习10分钟，午饭后复习10分钟，晚饭前复习10分钟，这样一背四复习就可以比较好的记忆率

语法不是高中的重点，英语之所以没有突破就是因为你没有意识到高中英语和初中英语学习方法上的显著不同。从今年的各地的考点命中情况来看，今年部分卷子的难度普遍提高很多，考点的比例比以前提高很多，纯语法题降低到3分，所以学习就要更重视考点。

想要各个题型都得高分，就要抓住高中英语的学习方法，高中英语和初中不同，初中只要背单词，背语法，做题，就能考高分。但是高中如果还这样做的话，分数就很难突破。因为高中英语纯语法题不超过7.5分，大部分的得分都和考点相关。所以高中英语的正确学习方法是，整理扩展记忆考点。

所谓考点具体讲主要是词组，短语，固定用法，固定句式，固定搭配，以及一些词组化的语法内容，比如冠词，形容词，介词，分词这些内容都必须要具体词组化才能考，语法书上只有模棱两可的几句话。整理成考点三四千个。还有就是关于从句有涉有及到一些要点和口诀。整个高中总共有1.5万个考点。

这些考点可以涉及到卷子的各个题型，渗透到听力，单选，完型，阅读，写作里头，如果不会的话，丢分肯定是比较厉害的。有的时候这些考点作为选项，要求考生能理解或者能搭配。更多的时候直接作为理解点出现在题目里，文章中要求考生知道意思。

你想象一下做完型是不是碰到很多单词都是带着介词的，而且很多选项让你选介词的？这些都是考点，一个英语单词带了介词十有八九意思就和字面上的不一样了，这个时候你再按字面的意思去理解自然就中了出题人的圈套了。

完型的考法是很传统的，一部分的考点内容作为理解点穿插在句子中，一部分直接作为选项，如果考点没有背，很容易把考点拆开来按照字面的意思胡乱理解，那么完型就难免要丢分。

阅读也是考察考点的重要题型，我做阅读一定是先读文章的，因为我有背考点，而且高考阅读出题，一定都是围绕带有考点的句子来出题的，所以我边做卷子，变划带考点的句子，读完文章大概也知道可能问什么问题了，解题的时候自然不会被误导。

听力里头考点不是出现在听力原文中，就是出现在题目里，总是不会用相同的词，但是意思是一样的表达，只有背过考点，才能在短暂的时间内理解意思，选出对应答案，否则只听到单词，出卷人放一个中心词的近义词在选项里头，你就中圈套了。

作文很多时候出卷人在引导考生作答的时候就设计好了一些表达必须用到一些词组短语，如果你心领神会知道是哪些词组短语，正好用上，在内容上就肯定能得比较好的分数，加上有练字，字写得漂亮分数就自然高了。

任务型书写是阅读和填空的综合，首先阅读里头出现的单词，词组，短语的意思你都要懂，其次，阅读里头的单词你要能转换成词组和短语，或者词组和短语你要能转换成单词填入空中，这对于大家的英语能力要求很高，也是需要大量整理和记忆考点的。

语法填空题一般有三分之一是单词题，三分之一是时态语态题目，还有三分之一就是考固定搭配，词组，短语的记忆，也是最难的部分，所以要拿到这三分之一的难点分数和别人拉开分数，还是要背考点。

改错，一般来说格式很固定，1题正确项考两种表达法都正确。2个联系上下文，一般就是时态和语态题，7个考词组和短语的搭配。一般来说丢分就丢在除联系上下文外的这8个题型上，这8题都和考点有关，你没背过分数自然就低了。

所以不管你的省份现在考什么题型，高考如何改革，题型怎么变，从目前出现的各类题型来看 ，考点是贯穿各个题型的，也可以在任何题型中出现，所以必须好好记忆。单选就更不用说了

现在高考卷难度不大，纯语法题都是送分题，不必把太多的精力放在语法上，语法不是高中英语的学习重点。高考出卷人默认大家考上高中语法都没有大问题，所以是间接的在句子中涉及一定的语法，不要求掌握，只要考生能读懂意思就ok。从我在廖唯伟吧发的各个省份的命中率分析报告上也可以看得出来。

英语不是数学，一个劲的拼命做题是不会有任何效果的，反而还浪费时间。你现在英语方面的问题，主要的原因是你还在用初中的方法，背单词，做题。这样对于高中是不够的。高考英语涉及到非常多的考点，这些考点贯穿于各个题型之中，必须要总结记忆才能提高分数，而且对于各个题型可以一通百通

虽然考点很多，但是涉及的单词只有高中最重点的2000多个单词，所以背考点的过程又可以进一步加强重点单词的记忆。解决你单词会认不会写的问题。同时考点看得懂了，自然能增加对阅读题里头涉及的考点的敏感性，阅读题的题目都是围绕这些带有考点的句子来出的，对于提高解题正确性肯定是帮助很大。

考点1万多个看起来有点吓人，但是比单词好背很多，因为考点很具有逻辑，有逻辑的东西背起来就很快，所以记忆力很差的人背考点多多少少也会记住很多内容。你的记忆力其实也不差，所以记住肯定没有问题，看你有没努力。

考点是要自己好好整理扩展的。在整理考点方面，如果你愿意自己花时间自己整理的话，那么这样的笔记当然肯定是最好的。只要有毅力和耐心，我的这种学习模式，是完全可以复制的。在整理考点上可以模仿我的高考笔记的整理方法。准备一本牛津英汉双解高阶词典。

可以模仿我的笔记的整理思路 1 课后单词所有在牛津中有涉及到固定用法的内容全部整理出来 2 错题猜题课堂提到的考点整理出来，老师说的考点务必在牛津查一遍，因为必然有很多错误 3 平时阅读时遇到的考点内容加以整理 4 整理可以词组化的语法点如介词冠词分词动词，还有可以口诀化从句相关语法内容

现在开始整理考点的话，时间上面的压力有点大，但是以后整理就肯定来不及了。我在高中的时候整理自己的英语笔记，把15000多个考点整理完，差不多花了两千多个小时，每次5个小时，400多个晚上，所以造成了自己偏科比较严重。但是有代价自然也就会有收获，单单英语一科就可以赢别人三四十分。

也就在于整理考点这种学习方法是能够非常扎实的掌握这些语言点的。而且这些内容是高考要考的，在有产出的事情上投入大量的时间，自然最后回报的东西要更多。只是我觉得如果当时我花了两千多个小时能够省下来放在其他科目上的话那么总分可能还会更高。只不过当时没有这个条件，没人有这个想法。

当然如果你也可以在背我整理的笔记的基础上再消化，并且运用我的方法整理自己的错题考点，这样你可以省掉一大笔整理考点的时间，同时也可以根据自己的情况背一些自身缺漏的考点，效果应该会更好，毕竟高中剩下时间就有可能赢得分数。

我就是用这种方法，特别用功的整理记忆，所以才以非常差的记忆力考到除作文部分以外满分的成绩的，总分145分。我的用户里头最高分的那个既是天才，又能像吊丝一样努力，所以最后考了148分，差一分就可以当省英语单科状元了。所以你只要好好努力突破高分也是有机会的。150分卷你至少要定目标到120以上

如果对考点有不明白，可以在我的个人贴吧廖唯伟吧看各个高考大省2012和2013的考点命中率分析报告，划红线的都是被命中的考点，相信对你总结记忆考点会有很大的帮助。
