高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing tons of research on how to achieve the goal? As you learn more and more, it feels like you know less and less because when you learn something new, you find that there is a lot to know about those things.

Sometimes, people will get stuck in this needing to gather more and more information. There’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going. When you never get going, you still never start having the things you want. Too much learning can paralyze you in terms of taking action.

A better way to go about achieving a goal is to gather some information and immediately start taking action on the information you have gathered. Many times you will feel unprepared, and that’s OK. The best way to learn is to take action and learn from the results you get from those actions.

When you are able to get past the fear of not being perfect and just take the first step, you will be further ahead than the majority of people who are still in the preparation stage. It’s good to be prepared especially in situations such as a pilot and crew making sure the plane is ready to take off, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal won’t give you any results. The knowledge and skills you will need will be picked up along the way.

If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it will never be able to do it by sitting there and analyzing how to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually stand up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it will learn what is working and what is not and adjust to it. By doing this over and over again, it will eventually learn to walk. This is the approach you need to take when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works. Learning more is great but if all you’re doing is learning and not taking action, it’s time to change. Just take the first step!

1. The author thinks that learning __________.

A. stops us from doing things

B. prevents us from achieving a goal

C. should be combined with practice

D. means gathering more and more information

2.According to the passage, we'd better learn from_____.

D. the information we have gathered

3. The passage implies that the more we learn,_____.

A. the less we will know

B. the more we want to explore

C. the more likely we are to succeed

D. the better preparations we will make

4.What does the underlined word “it” (in the last paragraph) refer to?

A. Walking　 B. Falling　 C. Learning　　 D. Analyzing

5.Why does the author mention how a baby learns to walk?

A. To prove another point is wrong.

C. To introduce a learning approach.

D. To support a conclusion.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines”. Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love. There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher's icebox to your own. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers — unread, untouched. The second has a great many books — a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many — every one of them worn, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled (涂写) in from front to back.

Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it? First, it keeps you awake.(And I don’t mean only conscious; I mean wide awake. ) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought­through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

1.The third kind of owners of books must be ______.

A.experienced readers B.untidy readers

C.active readers D.careless readers

2.Marking up a book means ______.

A.writing down difficult sentences

B.finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C.writing in the space the ideas you get through careful reading

D.making notes to show you understand what you have read

3.What does the author persuade you to mark?

A.Whatever you have given deep thought to while reading.

B.Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C.Primary questions that challenge you.

D.Whatever disagreements you may have with the book

4.A great advantage of marking up a book is ______.

A.to absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B.to make yourself a part of it

C.to make yourself conscious that you are reading actively

D.to enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading

高二英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析

First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia shows what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed（开花）in the last few years. You have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I want to tell you: “education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten”. What I mean by that is the materials taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner.

Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy（书法）, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful letters in Microsoft Word. So don’t worry too much about what job you will have, and don’t be too utilitarian（功利的）, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it! Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.

Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your mom and I. Pick a few friends and become really close to them-pick the ones who are honest and sincere to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends.

College is the four years where you have the greatest amount of free time, the first chance to be independent, the most possibilities to change and the lowest risk for making mistakes. So please treasure your college years! May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.

1.What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To explain why Columbia is a world famous university.

B. To tell “you” to be happy and enthusiastic in college.

D. To provide useful tips for college.

2.The writer believes that learning in college is about ________.

A. gaining the ability to become a self-learner

B. forgetting all that you have been taught

C. learning every new subject seriously

D. solving practical problems

3.What can you infer from the passage?

A. “You” have found out the truth of education.

B. “You” should be practical while choosing courses.

C. It is in college when “you” first become self-reliant.

D. “You” should try to make friends with as many students as possible.

4.The example of Steve Jobs was given to show that ________.
