湖南长沙市（天心区）2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）练习题阅读理解。the basics of mathmade clearbasic math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. these 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for algebra(代数)and beyond.the lessons in basic math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. they also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. in addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.basic math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. the lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. they also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazingand completely understandablefield of study.by the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. they will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. in addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.professor h. siegel, honored by kentucky educational television as “the best math teacher in america”， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. from the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learnerfriendlier and less scary.with a phd in mathematics education from georgia state university, dr. siegel teaches mathematics at central arizona college. his courses include various makeup classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.if the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we

home refueling system after more than two years of research.the system, backed by technology giant parker hannifin corp, will fill up quicker than some modelsabout one gallon an hourand last up to 20 years, according to go natural cng chief executive lucas kjar. the unit, expected by the end of the year, will use hydraulic technology to compress (压缩) the gas for vehicle use, he said. he did not say how much the unit would cost.but go natural may have a lot of competition. general electric, whirlpool and eaton are all working on home refueling technologies expected to be launched in the next couple of years.general electric, which received $1.8 million from the government to develop its system, aims to release a unit that will cool natural gas to minus 50 degrees celsius to extract (提取) water and other contaminates before refueling. ge aims to sell the unit at $500, about a tenth of the cost of current models.general electric said it was in the development phase and declined to comment on the programs progress.honda, which makes the natural gas-fired honda civic gx, has contacted ge and whirlpool to discuss their plans, according to elmer hardy, hondas senior manager of alternative fuel vehicles.eaton, which received $3.4 million from the government to develop the technology, is working on a unit at its labs in southfield, michigan, that would use liquids to compress the gas instead of the traditional metal pistons(活塞). it aims to make a unit available for $500 by 2015.“we are seeing if we can do it in a way that reduces the price point,” said clark fortune, who leads the program at eaton. “the adoption will improve if the costs come down.”46. what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?a. to encourage car owners to use natural gas.b. to advertise some technology companies.c. to introduce a new home refueling system.d. to present some ways of saving energy.47. which company may be the first to release the new refueling system?a. eatonb. general electricc. whirlpool d. go natural 48. which of the following is true of the system to be launched by go natural? a. it can be bought at $5oo now.b. it has got into market this year.c. it can be used for twenty years.d. it is financed by honda.49. what is the governments attitude to the new home refueling system? a. doubtfulb. cautious c. negatived. supportive 50. what may prevent the system from being widely accepted according to clark fortune? a. its refueling speed.b. its present price.c. its compressing technique.d. its appearance.【参考答案】4650 cdcdb【山2014高考训练】everybody loves to play board games sometimes, but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence. some of the earliest board games are over 5,000 years old. the oldest is probably senet, an american egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 bc. the game involves an element of luck, and so it was thought by the ancient egyptians that those who won the game were protected by god. for this reason, games of senet were often buried alongside the dead body, to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows, and uses two sets of at least five pawns. the actual rules are unknown, although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the senet sets available today.the royal game of ur, also known as the game of twenty squares, is another ancient game which dates back to the first dynasty of ur, in 2600 bc mesopotamia. it was played with two sets of seven counters, one black and one white, and three four-sided dice (骰子). although the ancient rules are unknown, a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 bc.both senet and the royal game of ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon (西洋双陆棋)，which itself has a long history. the game of nard, which existed in iran in around 3000 bc, used two sets of fifteen counters, four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today, although the initial starting positions and rules are different. similar games were played in ancient rome and india.51. the text is meant to introduce_.a. a common origin of board games b. the unknown rules of board gamesc. several kinds of earliest board gamesd. the newly discovered board games52. what do we know about the game of senet in paragraph 1?a. its actual rules are still in use.b. it used to be played in tombs.c. it is probably the oldest board game.d. its design is closely related to god.53. what is the main idea of paragraph 2?a. a brief introduction to the royal game of ur. b. a reliable account of the first dynasty of ur.c. the recent discovery of an ancient board game.d. the original rules found in a stone tablet.54. what can be inferred from the text?a. there were some similarities between the games.b. the earliest board game was found in europe.c. all the games used the same number of dice.d. we havent got any record of the board games. 55. what does the underlined word“itself ”in the last paragraph refer to?a. the game of senet. b. the royal game of ur.c. the game backgammon.d. the game of nard.【参考答案】5155 ccaac社会生活类 i am a writer. i spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke (唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth.language is the tool of my

started writing fiction in 1985. and for reasons i wont get into today, i began to write stories using all the englishes i grew up with:the english she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken” ; and what i imagine to be her translation of her chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that i sought to preserve the essence, but
