2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选(39)及解析 AAccording to US research, it can take up to ten years to become a near-native English speaker. Asian and Spanish students took between five and ten years to reach native speaker performance in English-only schools. Fluency obviously doesnt happen overnight. But time can definitely make you a better speaker.After testing his own memory, German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that humans forget most of what they learn in the first 20 minutes.So cramming right before a speaking exam is not likely to be as effective as practicing regularly over time. The more you practice, the more familiar new words will become. In the classroom, studies have also shown that repeating oral tasks improves a speakers performance.One of the best repetition exercises is the 4/3/2 technique. Speakers give the same talk to three different listeners with a progressive decrease in delivery time, starting at four minutes, then three, and finally two minutes. This exercise has been proven to help learners speak faster. It can also result in less hesitation and more grammatical accuracy. While time dose make a difference when it comes to speaking perfect English, it would not hurt to brush up on your other language skills.Studies have also shown that reading can increase your speaking vocabulary. After one month of an extensive reading program, a 27-year-old student of French became more familiar with 65 percent of the new words.Aside from choosing the right learning methods, having certain personality traits may also help. US linguistics expert Stephen Krashen believes those with high motivation, self-confidence and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for speaking success.Krashen says students who dont have these qualities are more likely to have a “mental block”. “Even if they understand the message, the input will not reach the part of the brain responsible for language acquisition,” he writes in his book Principles and Practice in second Language Acquisition.41. According to the passage, if you want to be a near-native speaker, you need _. A. long-term speaking practice and much reading B. speaking practice for ten years only C. long-term speaking practice, much reading and certain qualities D. cramming new words every day42. The author put forward the 4/3/2 technique just to show that _ A. you should speak to 3 different people B. you should speak to 3 different people at 3 different times C. it can prevent you from making grammar mistakes D. it is really a good way to make you a better speaker43. The example of a 27-year-old student of French in the passage mainly means that _. A. reading can enlarge your vocabulary for your speaking B. reading can make you memorize just 65 percent of the new words C. the 27-year-old student of French is very clever D. in one month, you can improve your speaking ability44. The underlined phrase “linguistics expert” means a person who is quite expert at _. A. languages B. spoken language C. scientific research D. teaching English BTelevisions, stereos, telephones, and computers have changed the way we spend our time and what we know about the world. Some of the changes brought about by these material possessions have improved our way of life, but others have made it worse. Our young teenagers turn on the television, play the stereo, play games on the computer, talk on the telephone, and eat all the same time. This drives me right up the wall to instant insanity(精神失常).However, teens of today place too great an importance on material property. They spend an average of several hours a day watching television, listening to stereos, playing on the computer, playing video games, and talking on the telephone. Families no longer watch television together and there is great lack of communication. Materialism is evident when an otherwise intelligent teenager drives their parents crazy, and into debt, when misusing communication equipment. Teens judge and admire other teens for what they own and have, rather than for what they are or what they can do. They no longer care about values, like honesty, integrity(正直), freedom, talent, quality and other values and morals.However, good or bad, communication devices are here to stay. It is up to us, as parents, to stop our beloved teenagers from misusing and abusing our communication equipment and devices. We need to avoid the problems they present and to make the most of their opportunities they possess and hold for us all.45. The writers attitude toward the modern material possessions is generally _. A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. indifferent46. According to the writer, teens overuse of communication equipment can do harm to _. A. their own health B. their own study C. their own morality D. their neighbors life47. The writer attributes (归咎) the unsatisfactory behavior of teens to _. A. teens too much free time B. parents non-interference C. inadequate school education D. material property48. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer seems to be most annoyed at _. A. all the modern material possession B. eating while talking on the phone C. the decline in teens morality D. all the communication equipment CThe word doping is probably from the Dutch word dop, the name of an alcoholic drinks make of grape skins used by Zulu soldiers in order to encourage their bravery in battle. The term became current around the turn of the 20th century, originally referring to illegal drugging of racehorses. In 1928 the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) became the first to ban the use of doping. A reliable test method was finally introduced in 1974.The practice of enhancing athletes performance through foreign substance or other artificial means, however, is as old a competitive sport itself. The most famous doping case of the 1980s concerned Ben Johnson, the 100-meter champion who tested positive for stanozolol(司坦咗醇) at the Olympic Games in Seoul, 1988.The main front in the anti-doping war has rapidly shifted to blood doping since 1970s. Blood doping is the practice of adding red blood cells to the bloodstream in order to improve athletes performance. The blood is usually processed in order to create a concentration of red blood cells, and then freeze them until needed for transfusion(输血) back into the athlete shortly before the event. The extra red blood cells will deliver more oxygen and other essential elements to the athletes muscle tissues.Just like any other problem, the only way to solve it is through education. Many high school sports programs now have people come in to talk to them about out the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs. Young players must be fully clear on the rules and what substances are banned. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has an easily accessible list of what substances are banned, how they are tested for and why they are banned on its website. This way, young players are clear on what they can put in their bodies. This is also a good way to educate players on the danger of the substances they may be tempted to use.49. The word “enhancing” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means “_”. A. showing B. directing C. upsetting D. improving50. What can we know from the third paragraph? A. Blood doping is transferring one mans blood into another B. Only blood doping exists in the anti-doping war in the 1970s. C. Blood doping is easy to be found and controlled by organizations. D. More oxygen in the blood helps improve an athletes performance.51. The word “people” in the second sentence of the fourth paragraph probably refers to _. A. teachers who teach P.E. lessons at school B. experts who do research in doping C. young people easy to be addicted to doping D. athletes involved in doping52. Which statement best matches the last paragraph? A. Prevention is better than cure. B. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. C. The best horse needs breaking, and the cleverest child needs teaching. D. A little learning is a dangerous thing.DAbout 12,000 years ago- long before the famous UFO crash make headlines in Americaan alien spaceship crashed in China. And their descendants are still living in a faraway Chinese village today! That is the mind-bending claim made in the new book Out of Time and Place, a collection of reports from the files of Fate, a magazine edited by Terry ONeil.The story first came to light in 1937 when an expedition led by Chi Pu-Tei came across a group of caves deep in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains. In the caves were found strange-looking skeletons with big heads and small, slender bodiesclosely matching typical descriptions of space aliens. The explorers also uncovered 716 mysterious stone discs with strange hieroglyphics(象形文字) on them.In Qinghai Province, where the mountains lie, ancient stories tell of small, skinny beings with oversize heads who came from the sky long long ago. And to this day, locals live in fear of attack from strange-looking creatures from above.And there is more. In 1947, British scientist Karyl Robin-Evans led an expedition into the mountains and discovered a group of dwarfs(侏儒) who called themselves the Droza. “They told him that their ancestors came from a planet in the Sirius(天狼星)system and crashed in this mountain area a long time ago,” writes Hausdorf, “Many of them were killed, but survivors adapted to living on this rough planet far from home.”For decades, Robin-Evans claims were dismissed as nonsense. But in 1995, the Associated Press reported that in the region a village named Huilong had been discoveredpopulated by 120 dwarfs ranging from 3-foot-10 to 2-foot-1tall.Hausdorf asks, “Could these people be the last living descendants of the survivors of the legendary UGO crashthe Chinese Roswell?”53.
