I dont think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet. One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didnt one day. I asked him about it and he said theyd been out of order and that he couldnt afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. Im sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many. 24. Why didnt the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?A. It was very warm and fine.B.

A New Pair of Glasses参考答答案2427 BCAB 2016高考英语阅读理解（科普类说明文）【2015安徽】CAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆).According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.64. The passage begins with two questions to _. A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors altitudeC. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information65. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information.66. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information67. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. Weare using memory differently.B. We arebecoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.【答案】64. A65. C66. D67. A66. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆)”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。67. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。【考点定位】心理类短文阅读【名师点睛】一般来说，举例的目的是为了引出即将讨论的话题，可以从例子后面找到总结性的话语。“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”就是举例的意图。后三道题都属于细节理解题，可以直接从文章找到提示性的语句；最后一道题有一定的难度，需要进行一些推理和排除。2016高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. American parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they cant. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president. American parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. Whats more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.As a rule, Chinese parents dont educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so. Now more and more Chin
