　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．

　　Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

　　1．To compete with American students it’s very important to

　　．

　　A．be quite confident

　　B．be polite and friendly

　　C．have more discussions with them

　　D．understand what they think about

　　2．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who

　　．

　　A．gives a silly or simple answer

　　B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class

　　C．shows no interest in the course

　　D．is considered to have no opinion of his own

　　3．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if

　　．

　　A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said

　　B．the students bargain with him

　　C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t

　　D．he has to give a speech

　　4．We learn from the second paragraph that

　　．

　　A．we should also remain modest in America

　　B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America

　　C．Americans also like modest people

　　D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program

　　【参考答案】1---5、ADCBD

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking?　That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解冻).

　　About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?

　　Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.

　　The collapsing (倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.

　　The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.

　　“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,”Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”

　　“The melting could cause severe problems.”Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”

　　1. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?

　　A. Alaska—A Frozen Land

　　B. Is Alaska Sinking?

　　C. Pollution and Global Warming

　　D. Alaska Is Polluted

　　2. The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.　

　　A. the temperature in Alaska is rising

　　B. people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrost

　　C. too many houses are built on permafrost

　　D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost

　　3. The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.　

　　A. holes form in the ground

　　B. a forest will be turned into a swamp

　　C. some animals have to go elsewhere

　　D. more water will be needed by people and animals

　　4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A. When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.

　　B. House-moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger.

　　C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.

　　D. Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.

　　2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。My Left Foot (1989)

　　Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express himself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.

　　Shine (1996)

　　Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten years in a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott.

　　Life Is Beautiful (1997)

　　Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.

　　Stand and Deliver (1988)

　　Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one. Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail, Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things, like getting good grades in the AP exam. Despite the obstacles in their lives, the classmates accomplish their goals, thanks to Mr. Escalante’s support. The real Jaime Escalante, the Best Teacher in America, says that Stand and Deliver is “90% truth, 10% drama.”
