It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are of course extremely interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviour. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy(争论) is often conveniently referred to as “nature and nurture”. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behaviour patterns are largely determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behaviour is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our behaviour is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviourists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviourist, B.F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behaviour is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviourists view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (刺激) as the basis of their behaviour. Socially and politically, the consequences of these two theories are far-reaching. In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically lower in status than whites. Behaviourists, on the contrary, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behaviour. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behaviour lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the controversy will continue for a long time is certain.1. This passage is mainly concerned with _. A. relation between personality and behaviour B. relation between behaviour and environment C. different accounts of patterns of human behaviour D. different theories of the formation of human personality and behaviour.2. The underlined word “proponents” in Paragraph 2 means _. A. teachers B. advisorsC. advocatesD. judges3. Whats the authors purpose in writing the passage? A. To call our attention to the changes of human behaviour. B. To urge scientists to do more research in social science. C. To give us a detailed explanation of human behaviour. D. To present an argument in the field of social science.参考答案13 DCD 选材相似度：设题相似度：难度系数：Despite the popularity of school spelling competitions，adults in the US performed poorly in a survey comparing how English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic deal with commonly misspelt words.Sixtytwo percent of Americans got “embarrassed” wrong，against 54 percent of Britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year.Adults in the US performed less well on most of the ten words tested，including millennium (52 percent wrong，against 43 percent in the UK)，liaison (61 percent to 54 percent) and “accommodation” (42 percent to 36 percent )Only “definitely” and “friend” were spelt correctly by more Americans.Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society，which sponsored (发起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.The answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case，” he said.“What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irregular spelling system.”Professor Edward Baranowski，one academic consultant for the project，said，“We have different spellings for the same sound，and a system which reflects how English was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries，not how it is spoken today.So many sound changes have occurred in the language，which is not reflected in modern spelling，that we are left with a fossilized (僵化的) system.”The study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed the idea.And 31 percent said it didnt matter.The US survey involving a sample of 1,000 adults was carried out online by Ipsos MORI last month，with the method based on a survey of 1,000 Britons in April last year.【语篇解读】 一项调查发现，美国人在单词拼写方面不如英国人。1The underlined word “inaccuracy” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by _.Asuccess Berror Ccorrectness Dgrowth答案B词义猜测题。根据本句的“showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized”，联系第二段英美成年人较高的拼写错误率，可知inaccuracy可用error来代替，都是“错误”的意思。2The underlined part “this is far from the case” in Paragraph 3 implies that _.Amost of the Americans can spell correctlyBthere are more people having spelling problemsCadults perform worse in spelling than kidsDit is difficult to create a new spelling system答案B推理判断题。联系上一句“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，Bovill是想说，这项研究表明，实际上很多人都存在拼写问题。3Professor Baranowski seems to agree that _.Aspelling should represent the sound of wordsBwe should learn how English was spoken centuries agoCdifferent countries should have different spellingsDsound changes have nothing to do with spelling答案A推理判断题。根据第四段Baranowski所说的话可知，他认为拼写应该表现单词的发音。represent意为“表现”，reflect意为“反映”，此处两者含义一致。4What would be the most suitable title of the passage?AWho is responsible for our spellingBThe English language to be blamedCAmericans embarrassed by their spellingsDWords needed to be modernized答案C主旨大意题。C项标题一语双关，embarrassd一词既表明了美国人拼写的尴尬现状，又涉及了拼写调查的部分内容。维A 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)(2012广东卷)“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day.Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure.They_are_spoken_at_me，not to me.Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say.“Oh，you just had a tooth out？Im terribly sorry，but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you，you may find it heartwarming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way，its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.【语篇解读】 本文论述了“Have a nice day”在不同的场合的不同含义。1How does the author understand Maxies words?AMaxie shows her anxiety to the author.BMaxie really wishes the author a good day.CMaxie encourages the author to stay happy. DMaxie really worries about the authors security.答案B考查细节理解。根据第一段最后两句可知，作者认为当她的朋友Maxie对她说“Have a nice day”时，Maxie是真心地祝愿作者有美好的一天。2What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?AThe salesgirl is rude.BThe salesgirl is bored. CThe salesgirl cares about me.DThe salesgirl says the words as a routine.答案D考查句意理解。根据画线部分的上下文内容可推知，售货员用相同的腔调说这句话，这只是她为了增加业务的例行程序。3By saying “Have a nice day，” a stranger may _.Atry to be polite to youBexpress respect to youCgive his blessing to youDshare his pleasure with you答案A考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you”可推知，当陌生人对你说这句话时，他是为了让你感觉他很友好。文中的“to be nice to you”与A项中的“to be polite to you”含义相同，故选A项。4What is the best title of the passage?AHave a Nice Daya Social CustomBHave a Nice Daya Pleasant GestureCHave a Nice Daya Heartwarming GreetingDHave a Nice Daya Polite Ending of a Conversation答案A考查主旨大意。本文讲的是“Have a nice day”这句话在不同的场合的不同理解。再根据最后一段第一句可知，A项作为本文标题最合适，其他三项说法片面。【2016高考英语阅读理解训练】阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案。With the tears streaming down her face，she put her two hands to her lips，and kissed them to Him; then clasped(紧握着)them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there“You are not the gaolers(监狱长)daughter ?”She sighed“No. ”“Who are you ?”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice，she sat down on the bench beside himHe drew back but she laid her hand upon his armA strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at herHer golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neckAdvancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at itIn the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemakingBut lot for longReleasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulderAfter looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to itHe opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his fingerHe took
