高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is all wrong.

Here's a list of tips from Carey, a sc ientist, for getting the most out of your study time：

Test yourself：Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you've studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”

Move around: Changing up where you study can help you retain more information. “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming…multiple associations for the same material, the same words and so on. So it's better organized in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”

Mix it up：Think about a football player who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs, say, isn't as effective.

Space it out：Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. Carey lik es cramming your brain to speed-packing a cheap suitcase—it all falls out. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There's no doubt you can cram your way through an exam,” Carey says. The problem is that it's so easy to forget what you just crammed—and once it's gone, Carey says, “It's gone. You're not getting it back.”

Of course, nothing can replace the power of motivation and discipline. But Carey says the overall message is encouraging：“Studying can sort of be incorporated into a more varied life, much more easily than we thought.”

1.According to the text, the best way to learn is ________．

A．to learn one's subject at a time in a quiet place

B．to be strongly motivated to learn something

C．to mix up everything that you will learn

D．to do self-tests after you learn immediately

2.Why are you advised to move around while learning?

A. Because it can make your brain focus on learning.

B. Because you can save time by missing the same words.

C. Because you can connect materials with different things.

D. Because it keeps your brain in a completely resting state.

3.How did the writer develop the fifth paragraph?

A．By telling an interesting story.

B．By presenting in the time order.

C．By analyzing causes and effects.

D．By making a comparison.

4.It can be inferred from what Carey said in the third paragraph that ________．

A．tests used to be treated as a tool to judge learners

B．tests would slow down your study

C．tests were the best way to learn new information

D．tests do good to you more than learning itself

At 9: 30 a. m. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification (通知) that I’d already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups,” my screen read. “Put your phone down until 9: 52 a. m. ! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”

These updates were sent via Moment, an app that tracks my screen time, created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work, Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.

“I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone,” he said. “So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed him whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound like a bee, and I’d go and do something else. It was like a little angel on my shoulder pushing me in the right direction,” he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him, it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.

Beside, Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $ 7. 99 a month.

“I am so much happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my day-to-day life,” Jack, a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “digital wellness”, the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.

1.What does the inspiration of Moment come from?

A. The creator’s own experience.

B. The sound made by honey bees.

C. Complaints from family members.

D. The widespread digital addiction.

2.What does Moment do at the expected screen time?

A. Monitor the screen and keep a record.

B. Make a noise to remind the user.

C. Turn off the phone immediately.

D. Force the user to take a rest.

3.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?

A. Persuade readers to buy the app.

B. Provide readers with some advice.

C. Recommend a coach to the readers.

D. Introduce more information of the app.

4.In which part of a website will you find this text?

A. Fashion and Business. B. Sports and Entertainment.

C. Health and Lifestyle. D. Art and Design.

Time magazine named Russian President Vladimir Putin its  "Person of the Year" for 2007 on Wednesday, saying he had returned his country from chaos（混乱）to "the table of world power" though at a cost of democratic principles.

He doesn't care about civil liberties; he doesn't care about free speech; he cares about stability. But Putin, 55, is enormously popular in Russia, presiding over a resurgent economy based on income from oil and natural gas. On the other hand, stability is what Russia needed and that's why Russians adore（爱戴）him.

Time magazine said on its Web site that Putin, the son of a factory worker had led Russia with persistence, a sharp vision and a sense that he showed the spirit of "Mother Russia".

The selection came days after Putin announced a plan to hold onto power after his term ends next year. Putin said on Monday that if his close ally(盟友），Dmitry Medvedev, won the presidency, he would serve as Medvedev’s prime minister. "Putin has put his country back on the map.  And he intends to redraw it himself,"Time said. "He will continue to lead his country as its prime minister and attempt to transform it into a new kind of nation, beholden to neither East nor West."

Time said the person of the year distinction, which it has awarded since 1927, is not an endorsement（支持）or a popularity prize but a recognition of the individuals and forces that shape the world. "At significant cost of, the principles and ideas that free nations prize, (Putin) has performed an extraordinary feat of leadership in placing stability on a nation that has rarely known it and brought Russia back to the table of world power. For that reason, Vladimir Putin is Time's 2007 Person of the Year," the magazine said.

Time had earlier selected four other Kremlin leaders for the distinction:  Stalin, who was chosen twice, Nikita Khrushchev, Yuri Andropov and Mikhail Gorbachev.

1.What does the underlined word "feat" in Para 5 probably mean?

2.What's the major reason why Putin becomes popular in Russia?

3.What may be the best title of the passage?

4.What can we inter from the passage?

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

New Orleans, Louisiana, was established as part of the French Empire in 1718.

Its location on the east bank of the Mississippi River gave it control of the American hinerland and it became strategically important to many nations. It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France, and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it, and the Americans under General Andrew Jackson.

The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting（淤积）and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river.

Although New Orleans has been a part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which, for many years, was its only law.

New Orleans is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The Jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting surface of yesteryear is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreign goods are unloaded here. New Orleans is no longer a sleepy Southern town----but it's still fun to visit.

1. The battle of New Orleans was fought by Jackson against______.

A. France　　 B. Britain　　 C. Spain　　 D. The North

2.According to the passage, the Code Napoleon was _______.

A. an agreement to sell Louisiana　　

B. a body of laws

C. a city plan

D. a military code for the army

3.Which of the following elements does not apply to the attitude of the citizens of New Orleans?

A. Pride in their French heritage.

B. A desire to retain colonial buildings.

4. Tourists visiting New Orleans are surprised to encounter _____.

A. Creole food　　 　　　　　　 B. Dixieland jazz
