If prying into(打探) other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time. However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.1. What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?A. American dramas are longer. B. British soap operas are longer.C. American dramas deal with dangerous things. D. British soap operas deal with real people.2. Why do British people like to watch such operas?A. They can find their own life from the operas. B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.C. They can watch the operas for many years. D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.3. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.A. plays B. pages C. issues D. parts4. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.A. the characters play the same role for a long time. B. the characters in the play often changeC. people don’t know what will happen next D. there is only one or two characters in them参考答案 1—4、DADB 由 (2011 福建,C)改编2Elixirwritten by Eric WaltersTwelve-year-old Roth becomes a friend of Dr.Banting and his assistant,Mr.Best,who are in search of a cure for diabetes (糖尿病).She finds herself torn between her sympathy for the animals being experimented on and her friendship with Banting and Best.George Washington Carverwritten by Elizabeth MacLeodMeet the “Peanut (花生) Specialist”,George Washington Carver,the inventor and professor who made over 325 products out of peanuts.Through his agricultural research,he also greatly improved the lives of countless black farmers in the southern United States.See also MacLeod’s Albert Einstein:A Life of Genius.The Inuit Thought of It:Amazing Arctic Innovationswritten by Alootook Ipellie & David MacDonaldExplore more than 40 ideas necessary to Inuit survival.From ideas familiar to us today to inventive concepts that shaped their lives,celebrate the creativity of a remarkably intelligent people.Also see other books:The Chinese Thought of It by Tingxing Ye and A Native American Thought of It by Rocky Landon and David MacDonald.Made in Canada:101 Amazing Achievementswritten by Bev SpencerWhat things do we use daily that have a Canadian connection?Here are 101 common things that were invented in Canada or by a Canadian,including the Blackberry,alkaline (碱性) batteries and the Blue Box recycling program.3Newton and the Time Machinewritten by Michael McGowanTen-year-old boy Newton has invented a time machine to see dinosaurs up close.But it disappears on a test run with his two huge friends,King Herbert and Queen Certrude,in it!Can he save them before time runs out?1.Which of the following best describes Roth’s feeling in Book 1?( )A.Painful.

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. 4Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.54. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要介绍每个人都希望成功，但是人们在实施任务的时候会出现启动疲惫和表现疲惫，这是造成失败的两种原因，文章具体介绍如何克服这两种疲惫。551.【答案】A【解析】试题分析：根据第一段的句子 In the former case, we keep putting off a task，可知，有启动疲惫的人更可能拖延任务。故选 A。考点：考查细节理解。52.【答案】D考点：考查细节理解。53.【答案】B【解析】试题分析：根据第五段的句子 Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle…we fail again and again，可知，当所有的解决方法都失败的时候，一个人可能会有表现疲惫。故选 B。考点：考查细节理解。54.【答案】D【解析】试题分析：根据第五段的最后一句话 however hard we work, we fail again and again.

There is a phrase in Icelandic, “ad ganga med bok I maganum”, meaning everyone gives birth to a book. Literally, everyone “has a book in their stomach”. One in 10 Icelanders will publish one.“Does it get rather competitive?” I ask the young novelist, Kristin Eirikskdottir. “Yes. Especially as I live with my mother and partner, who are also full-time writers. But we try to publish in alternate years so we do not compete too much.”“Writers are respected here,” Agla Magnusdottir tells me. “They live well. Some even get a salary.” Magnusdottir is head of the new Icelandic Literature Centre, which offers state support for literature and its translation. “They write everything --- modern sagas(长篇英雄故事), poetry, children's books, literary and extraordinary fiction --- but the biggest boom is in crime writing,” she says.So what has led to this phenomenal book boom? I would say it is due to a crop of good writers, telling interesting tales with elegant economy and fantastic characters.Iceland's black lava(火山岩) riverbeds, its steaming, bubbling earth, with its towering volcanoes and fairytale streams also make it the perfect setting for stories. Solvi Bjorn Siggurdsson, an Icelandic novelist, says writers owe a lot to the past. “We are a nation of storytellers. When it was dark and cold we had nothing else to do,” he says. “Thanks to the poetic works and medieval（中世纪的） sagas, we have always been surrounded by stories. After independence from Denmark in 1944, literature helped define our identity.”Siggurdsson shows respect to Iceland's Nobel Literature winner, Halldor Laxness, whose books are sold in petrol stations and tourist centres across the island. Locals name their cats after Laxness and pay a visit to his home. “When Laxness won the Nobel Prize in 1955 he put modern Icelandic literature on the map,” Siggurdsson tells me. “He gave us confidence to write.”29. The underlined phrase in the passage suggests that ________.A. Icelanders love collecting books. B. Icelanders love writing very much.C. there are a lot of great books in Iceland. D. it is competitive to publish a book in Iceland.30. What kind of book is the most popular in Iceland?A. Poetry. B. Medieval sagas.C. Crime novels. D. Children’s stories.31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?.A. Siggurdsson won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955. B. Icelanders publish books to increase their income.C. Writers in Iceland don’t benefit from its literary tradition. D. Iceland possesses some factors to be a perfect setting for stories.参考答案 29—31、BCD 【2016 高考训练】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。It’s hard not to feel cheated and over-charged when you receive unexpected roaming (漫2游) charges while traveling abroad—whether they come from making phone calls or checking e-mails.Jeff Gardner received an $ 11,000 bill from Verizon after spending four days in Jamaica. Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字节) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.1. Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?A. To hand over his business. B. To check his cellphone billC. To find out information about Jamaica.D. To find out information about roaming charges.2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data delivery.B. Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.C. Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.D. Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.3. During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.A. was careless with phone use B. delivered no more data than at homeC. received quite poor e-mail servicesD. frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails4. What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?A. Make customers know when they’re outside their service area.B. Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.C. Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.D. Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.参考答案、DACB 2015 高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）【2015·广东】DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless 3society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class. But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________. A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authority D. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudiced D. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expanding B. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British society4D. Each class has unique characteristics.43.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中 However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.可知，美国关于英语口音的调查结果正好和英国的调查结果相反，他们认为一些地方口音是最吸引人的，而 BBC 的英语是最不吸引人的，故选 D。44.D 推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段的内容可知，In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents，可见，现在英国人们对待口音的态度开始改变了。故选 D。45.C 主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了在英国社会中，阶级划分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中给我们介绍了两项调查，其中一项告诉我们大多数人们觉得阶级是英国社会必不可少的一部分；另一项调查是关于人们说好的口音，英国和美国的调查结果正好相反，也说明了英国阶级划分的根源非常深。由此可知 C选项：阶级是英国社会中的一个重要部分符合短文的大意。故选 C。【考点定位】文化类短文阅读。【2016 高考训练】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。Anais Nin was a famous writer.
