Book 6 Unit 2 What is happiness to you阅读理解组块练.阅读理解A(湖南省2018届高三三十四校联考第二次考试)The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago.Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and protest poems on buildings.Modern graffiti seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York.The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags”, on buildings all over the city.In the midseventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in spray paintings known as masterpieces.In the early days, the “taggers” were part of street crowds who were concerned with marking their territory (领地)They worked in groups called “crews” and called what they did “writing”the term “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the novelist Norman Mailer.Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies.But at the same time that it began to be regarded as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared the first war on graffiti.By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the more established graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.The debate over whether graffiti is art or deliberate damage is still going on.Peter Vallone, a New York city councilor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone elses property it becomes a crime.“I have a message for the graffiti destroyers out there,” he said recently, “and your freedom of expression ends where my property begins.” On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlinbased group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are reclaiming cities for the public from advertisers, and that graffiti represents freedom and makes cities livelier.For decades graffiti has been a springboard to international fame for a few.JeanMichel Basquiat began spraying on the street in the 1970s before becoming a respected artist in the 1980s.The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have achieved international fame by producing complex works with stencils (模板), often making political or humorous points.Works by Banksy have been sold for over 100,000.Graffiti is now sometimes big business.1Why was the 1970s an important decade in the history of graffiti?AThat was when modern graffiti first appeared.BThat was when modern graffiti first became really popular.CThat was when graffiti first reached New York.DThat was when graffiti first appeared on subway car windows.2What does the underlined word “taggers” in the second paragraph mean?ANames of people who graffitied.BBuildings where paints were sprayed.CPeople who marked surface with graffiti.DPeople who were interested in graffiti.3What can we know from the third paragraph?ANew Yorkers think graffiti is art.BGraffiti was accepted by officials completely.CBuildings can be covered with graffiti freely.DThere were once advertisements on city surface.4What is the authors final opinion about graffiti?AGraffiti has now become mainstream and can benefit artists.BGraffiti is not a good way to become a respected artist.CSome popular graffiti artists end up being ignored by the art world.DSome graffiti caused inconvenience to the local environment.【答案与解析】1B推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知在1970s这种涂鸦艺术开始流行起来,当时人们开始在城市各处的建筑物上写下他们的名字或“标签”。上世纪70年代中期的火车上也涂满了人们的杰作。故选B。2C词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句和第二段第一句可知taggers指的是在街上或建筑物上写名字涂鸦的那群人,故选C。3D推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知艺术家们正在从广告商那里收回城市,由此可知城市曾经被广告占据,到处都是广告。故选D。4A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句以及下文三个因涂鸦成名的例子,可知作者认为涂鸦艺术在发展过程中成了主流,成就了许多艺术家。故选A。BAs an American artist and writer of childrens books,Tasha Tudors art and nineteenthcentury lifestyle have fascinated adults and children for decades.She received many awards and honors for her contributions to childrens literature.When people talk about her creativity in artwork,she said,“I do it to support my dogs and my four children.”Her great publishing record,the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years,and her admirers have no effects on her at all.Much of Tashas artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime.“I love winter,Its delightful,”she says.“I dont have to go anywhere because I work at home.If Im snowed in,I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early,deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter,and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the milelong dirt path that leads to the road.Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(梦幻) way of life,its not surprising that Tashas Christmas is a storybook holiday.She hangs flowers over the front door.Her tree comes from the woods, and it goes up on Christmas Eve,lit by homemade candies and decorated with her greatgrandmothers collection that dates from 1850.In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tashas old dolls; so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree.“Of course,its a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,”she has written.Small,handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year,Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect,that she has again ignored the twentieth century,and that the magic continues.And for the rest of us,heres a bit of advice,Tasha style:“Nowadays,people are so restless.If they took some tea and spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊) in the evening listening to light music,they might enjoy life more.”5Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to_.Aread stories to her grandchildrenBshow her DIY snowshoes to kidsCstay indoors working and readingDenjoy bicycle riding along the path6From the passage,we can learn that Tashas life is_.Amodern and fashionableBsimple and fantasticClonely and hardDadventurous and inspiring7Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha?AShe cared little about fame.BShe created an animal fund.CShe wrote many stories for magazines. DShe bought presents for her relatives.8In which section of a paper can you probably read the article?ATravel.BSports.CEconomy. DPeople.【答案与解析】5C细节理解题。根据第二段“I dont have to go anywhere”可知冬天她能够在家里工作和读书,故C为正确选项。6B推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知她的生活很简单;根据第三段可知她过着梦幻般的生活。7A推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“她的崇拜者对她没任何影响”可知A为正确选项。8D推理判断题。本文是一篇人物传记,介绍了美国一位著名的艺术家和儿童插画家。C(2018郑州二模)Our success,satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when,for example,youre returning faulty goods or making a complaint.An open,polite and friendly approach,expecting a satisfactory result,normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude.If,however,you present an argument with an angry,accusing tone,expecting trouble,there is little doubt that this is what youll get!Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism(悲观) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative (消极的) attitude.People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something cant be done; they talk about problems,see all the difficulties,find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but havent got.On the contrary,people blessed with a positive attitude think that anything is possible.They look for ways to solve the problems,they see the good in everybody,and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude,this is not something that is put on us from the outside.We are very much responsible for our own attitude.We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life.As children we are made fun of and even get bullied (欺侮) and rejected,start to experience doubt and lose our selfconfidence.If this continues into adulthood,it can result in a bad attitude in later life.9It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others _.Athe way they are treatedBbetter when they are satisfiedCworse when they are in troubleDthe way they consider appropriate10According to the writer,what affects peoples life attitude?AThe situation they face.BThe people around them.CTheir expectations of life.DThe way they view the world.11What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?ATo show how to avoid a negative attitude.BTo show the importance of a positive attitude.CTo share his positive attitude with his readers.DTo describe the effects of a negative attitude.【答案与解析】9A细节理解题。根据第二段的整体内容尤其是“as people tend to respond with a similar attitude”可知,你以什么样的态度对待他人,他人也会用同样的方式对待你。10D推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容并结合最后一段可知,人们看待世界的方式会左右他们对事物的态度,人们的人生经历对人生态度有影响,故选D。11B目的意图题。根据第一段并结合全文的内容可知,作者写本文的目的在于表明积极的人生态度的重要性。D(浙江省嘉兴市2018届高三4月模拟英语试题)When Carson Palmer, a professional American football player, hurt his arm a few years ago, he took a week off from throwing the football.But in his head, Palmer practiced every day.The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life.For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works.In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when youre imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles(肌肉) which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform.In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner howto guide for a particular skill.Sports psychologists have conducted hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions.On the whole, the research shows that mental training works.A 2012 study, for example, compared 32 amateur golfers who practiced hitting the balls to another 32 who merely held a golf club in their hands and visualized(想象)their swings.Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured.It is safea major plus for highrisk performers such as gymnasts and surgeons.And you can practice for longer periods of time because youre not restricted by physical tiredness. “Thats not to say its easy, weve had Olympiclevel athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours,” says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland.“When were done, theyre absolutely tired.”It doesnt work for everyone, though.“If youre a novice,_the effect can be harmful,” warns Macintyre.If youre trying to visualize a free throw, and you dont even know the proper movement, then youre probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.”12The author introduces the topic of the text by_.Agiving an exampleBpresenting an argumentCexplaining a phenomenonDmaking an assumption13What happens when one is visualizing an action?AA special skill is quickly acquired.BA certain model is formed in the head.CThe muscles grow increasingly tense.DThe brain sends strong messages to the body.14What does the underlined word “novice” in the last paragraph mean?ACoach.BSpecialist.CBeginner. DJudge.15What is the main idea of the text?AAthletes are likely to win games through imagined practice.BPracticing a skill properly in mind can produce intended effect.CPractice whether mental or physical has its own characteristics.DScientists have found a safe way for athletes to practice their skills.【答案与解析】12A推理判断题。根据首段可知作者通过举例来展开论述。故选A。13B推理判断题。根据第二段可知科学家发现当我们想象一个行为时,我们就会在脑海中产生一个模型。故选B。14C词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知Macintyre警告大家:这种脑力训练不是适合每个人,如果你是初学者,效果可能有害。故选C。15B主旨大意题。根据首段可知本文通过职业橄榄球运动员Carson Palmer手臂骨折后,他一直用意念练习打球,结果比赛表现出色这一事例,说明通过合适的脑力训练,技能会达到想要的结果。故选B。.七选五The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately.1If you are not in need of an immediate career
