高考英语新题型专项训练（1）‎ 一、七选五（每题2分；共10分）‎ Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, and cost a large amount of money. 1 It’s something each person has to decide for himself/herself, and will require a personal commitment by the smoker.‎ ‎ 2 Many smokers use the cigarette as a kind of walking stick in moments of stress or discomfort, and on occasion it may work. But the heavy smoker, the person who tries to handle severe personal problems by smoking heavily all day long, is to discover that cigarettes do not help him/her deal with his/her problems effectively.‎ Because smoking is a form of addiction, 80 percent of smokers who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms. 3 Psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, short-term depression, and inability to concentrate, may also appear. The main psychological symptom is increased irritability (易怒). People become so irritable, in fact, that they say they feel like killing somebody.‎ Some people seem to lose all their energy and drive, wanting only to sleep. 4 They become so over energized that they can’t find enough activity to burn off their excess energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely and was ready to go next door to start on her neighbor’s. Both these extremes, however, eventually level off. The symptoms may be intense for two or three days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most disappear. The truth is that after people quit smoking, they have more energy, and generally they will need less sleep, and feel better about themselves.‎ Quitting smoking can extend the ex-smoker’s life. 5 Most smokers state that immediately after they quit smoking, they start noticing dramatic differences in their overall health and life.‎ A.

Failing a social test can be more painful to children than failing a reading or science test. 2 They don’ t know how to deal with the topic.‎ Children are born with innate social competencies just as they are born with other innate strengths and weaknesses in abilities such as attention, memory, and language skills. 3 Children who have attention problems may have trouble listening and attending in conversations, be unable to talk or say things at inappropriate times.

Children with language and communication difficulties may have difficulty keeping up with the pace of a conversation, especially when there is a group of children talking.‎ ‎ 4 They seem to have a knack (诀窍) for making friends and getting along with others.

They are formed through erosion (侵蚀) or the gradual wearing down of the land by wind and water. Their form depends on what is eroding it, the slope of the land, the type of rock or soil and the amount of time the land has been eroded. There are three common types of valleys: V-shaped valleys, U-shaped valleys and flat floored valleys. 1 ‎ A V-shaped valley, sometimes called a river valley, is a narrow valley with steeply sloped sides that appear similar to the letter “V”. They are formed by strong streams, which over time have cut down into the rock. These valleys form with streams in their “youthful” stage. 2 An example of a V-shaped valley is the Grand Canyon in the Southwestern United States.‎ A U-shaped valley is a valley with a profile similar to the letter “U”. 3 They are formed by glacial (冰川的) erosion during the last glaciation. This is because ice sheets flowed down the pre-existing river or V-shaped valleys and caused the bottom of the “V” to level out into a “U” shape, resulting in a wider, deeper valley.‎ The third type of the valley is called a flat-floored valley. These valleys, like V-shaped valleys, are formed by streams. 4 Over time, the stream continues to erode the valley’s soil, widening it further. With flood, the material that is eroded and carried in the stream is deposited which builds up the floodplain and the valley. During this process, the shape of the valley changes from a V or U shaped valley into one with a broad flat valley floor.‎ ‎ 5 They are close to rivers which enable easier movement and also provide resources like water, good soils and food such as fish. The valleys themselves were also helpful as valley walls often blocked winds and other severe weather if the settlement patterns were positioned correctly. Valleys also provided a safe place for settlement and made invasions difficult.‎ A. A valley is normally occupied by a river or stream.‎ B. During this period, streams flow rapidly down steep slopes.‎ C. The river begins to erode the bank of its channel instead of valley walls.‎ D. The shape of valleys varies but they are typically steep-sided canyons or broad plains.‎ E. This type of valley is characterized by steep sides that curve in at the base of the valley wall.‎ F. The difference is that they are no longer in their youthful stage, and are instead in a mature stage.‎ G. Valleys have played an important role in people’s life since the beginning of human development.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ I used to say that I would help serve food at a homeless shelter.

Punishment is focused on reducing or getting rid of unwanted behaviors. Punishment can be effective in some cases. 1 Prison is one example. After being sent to jail for a crime, people often continue committing crimes once they are away from prison.‎ Why is it that punishment seems to work in some instances, but not in others? Researchers have found a number of factors that contribute to how effective punishment is. First, punishment is more likely to lead to a reduction in behavior if it immediately follows the behavior. 2 It may help explain why sending people to jail does not always lead to a reduction in criminal behaviors.‎ Another factor is that punishment achieves greater results when it is consistently applied. 3 For example, people often continue to drive over the speed limit even after receiving a speeding ticket. Why? Because the behavior is inconsistently punished.‎ ‎ 4 One of them is that any behavior changes that result from punishment are often temporary. Perhaps the greatest one is the fact that punishment makes people not perform certain actions, but it does not actually offer any information about more appropriate or desired behaviors.‎ Another thing to consider about punishment is that it can have unintended and undesirable consequences. For example, approximately 75 percent of parents in the United States report hitting their children. 5 For this reason, psychologists suggest that any short-term gains from using punishment should be weighed because it may produce potential long-term consequences.‎ A. Punishment also has some notable disadvantages.‎ B. Parents and teachers consider punishment an effective tool.‎ C. Prison sentences often occur long after the crime has been committed.‎ D. There are two types of punishment, positive punishment and negative punishment.‎ E. In fact, it can be difficult to administer a punishment every single time a behavior occurs.‎ F. However, you can probably think of situations where punishment does not reduce a behavior.‎ G. Researchers have found that this type of physical punishment can lead to antisocial behaviors among children.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ Ohio, a state in the Midwestern United States, is full of all kinds of festivals.

In the survey, they rated their self-control by indicating how much they agreed with 14 statements, such as, “I do certain things that are bad for me, if they are fun”. The participants also reported their current emotional state as well as their overall life satisfaction.‎ Holfmann’s team then turned to data from a study in which 205 adults were given smartphones and prompted to report their emotions at random moments throughout the week. 3 If so, they had to report how hard they tried to resist them, and whether they ultimately ended up acting on them.‎ The researchers found that the more self-control people reported having, the more satisfied they reported being with their lives in the long run. 4 In fact, when they further analyzed the data, researchers found that such people’s increased happiness to a large extent accounted for the increased life satisfaction.‎ These results indicate that as they go about their daily lives, people with a lot of self-control appear to generally be in higher spirits: in the long ran, they’re happier with their lives. To explain why this would be so, the researchers conducted another online survey. What they figured out is that instead of constantly denying themselves, people high in self-control are simply less likely to find themselves in situations where that’s even an issue. They don’t waste time fighting inner battles over whether or not to eat a second piece of cake. 5 And that, it would seem, makes them happier ... if still just a little bit sad.‎ A. In a word, they are not bothered about such little desires.‎ B. Wilhelm Hofmann and his team do research to check these general ideas.‎ C. They find it hard to control their desire to play video games before an exam.‎ D. At the same time, they were also asked to report whether they were experiencing any desires. ‎ E. Researchers are still uncertain why some people are better able to control their inner desires.‎ F. It is generally believed that in the long run people with a lot of self-control might benefit from the satisfaction of being better able to realize long-term goals.‎ G. And contrary to what the researchers were expecting, people with more self-control were also more likely to be happy in the short term.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ ‎ “Mother,” said Rachel, coming into the kitchen, with a garden hoe in her hand. “I’ve just planted the rose that Grandpa gave to me.”‎ ‎“Well, that’s very nice, dear,” said Mother, 1 (clean) her wet hands on her apron (围裙).

According to a large study, traditional advice on exercise, diet, drinking and smoking reduced deaths from heart diseases or strokes. l Advice on getting enough sleep could have a major impact on public health, said European researchers. In theory, many heart and stroke deaths could be prevented or postponed.‎ ‎ 2 By the end of the study, about 600 individuals had suffered heart disease or stroke, and 129 died. The study found that deaths were less likely in people who followed all four positive lifestyle recommendations, taking exercise, eating a healthy diet, drinking alcohol in moderation, and not smoking.‎ Observing all four behaviors was associated with a 57% lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and a 67% lower risk of dying from strokes or heart diseases, according to the researchers. But when sufficient sleep, seven or more hours a night, was added to the other four lifestyle factors, the beneficial effect greatly increased. 3 ‎ The researchers say other studies have shown a link between poor sleep and cardiovascular disease. 4 “If all participants stuck to all five healthy lifestyle factors, 36% of composite cardiovascular disease (heart disease or stroke) and 57% of fatal cardiovascular disease could theoretically be prevented or postponed,” said the researchers.‎ The public health impact of sufficient sleep, in addition to the traditional healthy lifestyle factors, could be great. Prof Grethes Tell of the University of Bergen, Norway said the benefits of sleep should be considered by public health experts and parents alike. 5 “From a public health point of view we should encourage people to get enough sleep and like all other healthy lifestyle factors this needs to be taught at home,” she added.‎ A. On the other hand, lack of sleep is becoming a problem.‎ B. However, even more lives were saved by having enough sleep.‎ C. Researchers doubt the link between sleeping habits and disease, so further research should be done.‎ D. “The main message of the study is that we need to consider sleep as an important factor for health.” she said.‎ E. But this is the first to look at whether sleep, added to the other four healthy lifestyle recommendations, can further reduce risk.‎ F. A team in the Netherlands tracked heart diseases and strokes in more than 14,000 men and women for more than a decade.‎ G. The combination of them resulted in a 65% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and an 83% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ I am writing about a tour that my wife and I took with your company on February 26, 2013. 1 you said was that we would see some of the most interesting sights of the city.

When familiar sights, sounds, smells or tastes are no longer there you can miss them very much. There are many elements that contribute to culture shock when you go to Britain. 1 You may just find the greyness, especially during the winter months, difficult to get used to.‎ Many students may find British food strange. 2 Or it may seem heavy compared to what you are used to. If you have no condition to cook for yourself, you may find yourself relying on “fast” food instead of your usual diet. Therefore, many people have to try to find a supplier of familiar food.‎ You may find that you miss your familiar language which at home would have been part of your everyday environment. Even if you are a fluent English speaker, it is possible that the regional accents you discover when you arrive in the UK will make the language harder to understand. 3 Then you may feel constantly listening and speaking in a foreign language is tiring.‎ ‎ 4 For example you may find people appear cold or always in a hurry. Or you may be surprised to see couples holding hands and kissing in public. You may find the relationships between men and women more formal or less formal than you are used to.‎ As well as the obvious things that hit you immediately when you arrive, every culture has unspoken rules which affect the way people treat each other. For example there will be differences in the ways people decide what is important. The British generally have a reputation for punctuality. In business and academic life keeping to time is important. 5 If you are going to be late, do try to let whoever you are meeting know.‎ A. Climate is the natural one.‎ B. Social behaviors may confuse or offend you.‎ C. It may taste different, or be cooked differently.‎ D. You may find it uncomfortable to wear heavy winter clothes.‎ E. You should always be on time for lectures, classes, and meetings.‎ F. It can be felt to a certain extent even when you go abroad on holiday.‎ G.

Whatever he is called, he is still the same short, fat old man with a long beard, 4 (wear) a red suit with white fur. The picture of Santa Claus came from Thomas Nast who was an American painter born in Bavaria. He 5 (usual) painted pictures for Christmas poems.

Around 80% of us have imagined a phone vibrating in our pockets when it’s actually completely still. Almost 30 % of us have also heard non-existent ringing. Are these signs of madness caused by digital culture? Not at all. 1 ‎ You are an example of a perceptual (感知的) system, just like a fire alarm, an automatic door, or a daffodil bulb (黄水仙球茎) that must decide when spring has truly started. 2 And, similar to a daffodil bulb on a warm February morning, it has to decide whether the signals from the skin near your pocket indicate a true change in the world.‎ ‎ 3 Working though the example of phone vibrations, we can see how this theory explains why they are a common and unavoidable part of healthy mental function.‎ When your phone is in your pocket, the world is in one of two possible states: the phone is either ringing or not. 4 Obviously you’d like to match these states in the correct way. True vibrations should go with “it’s ringing”, and no vibrations should go with “it’s not ringing”. Signal Detection Theory calls these faithful matches a “hit” and a “correct rejection”, respectively.‎ But there are two other possible combinations: you could mismatch true vibrations with “it’s not ringing” (a “miss”), or mismatch the absence of vibrations with “it’s ringing” (a “false alarm”).‎ ‎ 5 ‎ For situations where easy judgments can be made, such as deciding if someone says your name in a quiet room, you will probably make perfect matches every time. But when judgments are more difficult—if you have to decide whether someone says your name in a noisy room, or have to evaluate something you’re not skilled at—mismatches will occasionally happen. And these mistakes will be either misses or false alarms.‎ A. This second mismatch is what’s going on when you imagine a phantom phone vibration.‎ B. You also have two possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is ringing, or the judgment that it isn’t.‎ C. We can assume that people like to notice when their phone is ringing and hate missing a call.‎ D. In fact, phantom vibrations and ringing show a fundamental principle in psychology.‎ E. Your brain has to make a judgment about whether the phone in your pocket is really vibrating.‎ F. So, our near-perfect perceptual systems tend to try their best in an uncertain and noisy world.‎ G. Psychologists use a concept called Signal Detection Theory to guide their thinking about the problem of perceptual of judgments.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ More than twenty American states ban smoking in public places. 1 new study has proved that smoke-free laws 2 reduce a major effect of tobacco heart disease.

Being in the right place at the right time isn’t always a coincidence. 1 While this statement seems as improvable as the idea of karma, there must be a reason why the world’s most successful people say it. Seneca once wrote, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Hemingway said, “It is better to be lucky, but I would rather be exact. Then, when luck comes, you are ready.” Even recently, actor Ashton Kutcher said, “Opportunity looks a lot like hard work.”‎ Imitating the great can help you achieve great results if done thoughtfully, but copycatting isn’t the only form of imitation. If you carefully observe successful people, you can get valuable information and build on it. 2 Imitate those who are successful by bettering their processes where necessary, and then build your strong points on their earlier success.‎ Set realistic goals. One of the biggest mistakes people make when they are bettering themselves is that they set goals that are too hard to achieve. Goals are very important because they will allow you to be all that you can be, but when you set goals that are too lofty (崇高的), you can be setting yourself up for failure. This is why it is so important for you to set proper goals. 3 ‎ Surround yourself with successful people. Success takes time. Spend that time following your goals and surrounding yourself with people that are already successful. You have something valuable to offer successful people that they want: time, energy, and a positive spirit. 4 If you come to the table with positive energy and the willingness to make yourself valuable, successful people are usually willing to share their knowledge and connect you with the right people. So leave your ego at home, surround yourself with successful people, and allow yourself to learn from others.‎ ‎ 5 Everybody has bad days, but only the most successful people bounce back. If your day is heading into a bad situation, remove your self from it and calmly determine what power you have in order to turn things around.‎ A. Overcome the bad days in your life.‎ B. If you don’t love yourself, you won’t succeed.‎ C. These three things are invaluable for your success.‎ D. So spend a week observing people that you admire. ‎ E. The harder you work, the more likely you’ll end up in the right place.‎ F. Sometimes we miss opportunities for success because we do not listen.‎ G. So set your goals that you can achieve not too easily, but not too difficultly either.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ It happened at Hillside Middle School, part of the Parma City School District.

Successful cross-generational communication builds strong relationships between parents and children. 1 The following are some tips to help bridge the generation gap.‎ Encourage hobbies. As your child grows, he naturally develops hobbies, interests and talents, some of which last only a short while and some of which last a lifetime.

Do they have friendships running through them? Let’s look at some benefits of friendships.‎ Hang out together. Studies show that hanging out with friends may reduce the risk of loneliness. Sure, many prefer solitude (孤独) to socializing, but no one prefers loneliness. 1 Friends care, but it all starts with hanging out, just being there.‎ ‎ 2 The more I hang out with friends, the easier it is for me to open up. In general, that’s probably true for you, too. When you and I stop hanging out with each other, we tend to retreat into our own shell even more. We begin to forget the benefits of open communication and focus only on the fear. Staying in near-constant contact, though, keeps us in practice.‎ Share ideas. 3 Your friends can often tell you how reasonable your ideas are, or what you might need to do to rework them. That feedback (反馈信息) can then help direct how you act on those ideas and how you set your goals. And your feedback can do the same for your friend.‎ Learn new skills. As your connections grow, your friends will begin to teach you skills you would never have achieved. 4 One example that comes to my mind is yo-yoing. A friend got into yo-yoing, so I followed along. The skills can have a stronger influence than yo-yoing, though.‎ Encourage one another. For most of us, encouragement is what we need now. You and I don’t need new information — we need the courage to follow through with what we already know. 5 Friends give us that encouragement. Beyond simple companionship or instruction or inspiration, we need friends we relate to, care about to give us a reason to continue forward.‎ A. Share friends.‎ B. Learn to communicate.‎ C. Friends force you to actually work toward your goals.‎ D. You want to know and feel that others care about you.‎ E. We need the courage to get back up after we fall down.‎ F.

The biggest encouragement comes from us — the parents. Children who come from a home where the parents read personally, value reading and have reading materials readily available are much more likely to become readers themselves.‎ Make books available and accessible. Children who become readers almost always come from homes where books and other reading materials are present throughout the house. Don’t put your children’s books out of the way where your child cannot see them or cannot reach them himself. Remember babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are small. 2 ‎ Read yourself. 3 If your children see that you read, that you choose to read, and that you enjoy reading, they are more likely to develop the same habit and pursue the same activity.‎ ‎ 4 There are so many inexpensive, good books out there and something given or received as a gift becomes more valuable and cherished. My children routinely receive books as gifts from their grandmother, and they get so excited when they see her coming with them. They value books because they are valued by the important people in their lives.‎ Above all, make your read aloud sessions fun. This is a great start to teach children to read because children love to make sound effects. 5 For example, in Cinderella we always make the sound of the clock chiming as it strikes midnight, “Dong...dong... dong.” We make knocking sounds as we read The Three Little Pigs when the wolf knocks on each of the three little pigs’ doors. The kids really seem to like this added interaction and activity as we read.‎ A. Turn off the television and provide quiet time.‎ B. Some of these ideas are very simple and basic.‎ C. Give books as gifts at birthday time or whenever.‎ D. So put the books near the floor within their reach.‎ E. Try to add them wherever you can when you read aloud.‎ F. He really enjoys being able to pick out his very own books.‎ G. Being a role model to your children is the best way to teach children to read.‎ 二、语法填空（每题1.5分；共15分）‎ Have you ever taken something belonging to a hotel room to your home?

Having your children occupied with family activity is easy. 1 Here are how to make an experience fun and fascinating for young children.‎ Make a game out of it. There are very few activities that can’t be turned into a game when you are trying to attract the attention of your children. A game just means that you are trying to see how well you can do something, or you are challenging yourselves to reach a goal, or you are showing off what you can already do — and then see if you can do something even harder. 2 A simple phrase like “Let’s see how fast we can do this ...” will soon allow you to catch the children’s full attention.‎ Stories are always interesting. Everyone loves stories, and children most of all. A well-told story will always draw children’ s attention. 3 Stories are particularly powerful for teaching life-lessons and moral values, but a creative teacher can turn even a science lesson into a story.‎ Give the children an active role. No one likes a lecture and children least of all. The best way to learn is by doing and children in particular will respond really well to getting a chance to try something for themselves. 4 Even if you are telling a story, you can get them to act out some of the parts.‎ ‎ 5 Children love what they can touch, taste and smell.

No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. 1 Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?‎ ‎ 2 With whom will you share things that you don’t want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy (隐私) and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.‎ Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. 3 This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.‎ Arguments and heated discussions are apart of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. 4 While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.‎ There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. 5 Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most.‎ A. People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes.‎ B.

We can dress freely at home. No one will care or debate about it. 1 Why? That’s because the way we dress affects us and other people. It is basically a matter of self respect and respect for others.‎ According to a famous behavioural economist, humans have a pattern of irrational (不理智的) behaviours. One of them is called “the effect of expectation”. Ariely says that when a person believes beforehand that something is good, he will look upon it generally as good. 2 If you wear a cheap old T-shirt like a beggar, the respect and expectation that you gain from people around you will be poor.‎ Some people might argue that we should have the freedom to dress however we want regardless of what people think.

For whatever reason, we do something that others disapprove of. When they are in a position of greater power, they might punish us. 2 As a consequence, we deny what we have done, pointing the finger at others or justifying the act with some excuse.‎ When others might not directly punish us, embarrassment is a powerful form of self-inflicted (自我施加的) punishment.

As a result, a specific advantage we seek when lying is for others to think highly of us. Impression-management is particularly common in social and work situations, where we want others to think we are successful in order to get their approval and the subsequent rewards this can bring. 4 ‎ A more socially acceptable reason for lying is to help others, particularly your friends and family.

It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.‎ In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking — the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 1 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas.

Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 3 ‎ What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 4 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will approve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 5 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.‎ If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances.
