John Nash，a Nobel Prize winner and a mathematical genius whose struggle with mental illness was documented in the Oscar-winning film A Beautiful Mind，was killed in a car accident on May 24th, 2015.

Born in West Virginia, Nash displayed a keenness for mathematics early in life，independently proving Femret’s little theorem(定理)before graduating from high school.By the time he turned 30 in 1958，he was an unquestionable academic celebrity.At Princeton, Nash published a 27-page thesis that led to applications to economics，international politics, and evolutionary biology.

His signature solution—known as a “Nash Equilibrium(纳什均衡)”—found that competition among two opponents，not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic.Two opponents can, for instance，each achieve their maximum objectives through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate.It is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century.

In the late 1950s, Nash began a slide into mental illness.By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadn’t published a paper in 36 years.But like a child cured of a nightmare by the switch of a light, Nash recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore.He continued to work, travel，and speak at conferences for the rest of his life.

In 2001，the release of the film A Beautiful Mind，based on Sylvia Nasar’s 1998 book of the same name，introduced Nash’s unusual life story to international audience.

1．John Nash passed away because of .

A．a mental illness B．overwork

C．a traffic accident D．starvation

2．According to “Nash Equilibrium”，what will happen if two opponents refuse to cooperate? A．They will get nothing at all.

3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

Martha Graham，born in 1894，was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance，whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts，Stravinsky had on music，or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture.She created almost two hundred dance pieces.She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.

Earlier in her life，however，Martha did not know that she would become a dancer.At that time，the dancers were looked down on.So Martha’s parents didn’t approve of her desire to dance at the beginning.Until 1916，she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts，founded by Ruth St.Denis and Ted Shawn，where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.

In 1936，Graham made her defining work，“Chronicle”，which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance.The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner.Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929，the Great Depression that followed，and the Spanish Civil War，it focused on depression and isolation，reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.

Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy.Once again，she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows.But she didn’t give up.Her last completed ballet was 1990’s “Maple Leaf Rag”．“A Dancer’s World”is an introduction to Graham and her work.She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.

Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime，including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy-six.She was the first dancer to receive the country’s highest civilian honor.She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six.In 1998，Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century”and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century. 4．Some famous artists mentioned in Paragraph 1 show Martha Graham .

A．was influenced greatly by them

B．kept in touch with them regularly

C．had a great effect on modern dance

D．liked to make more friends with them

5．Why didn’t Martha’s parents approve of her desire to dance at first?

A．She was too old to learn American dance.

B．American dance was seen as a lower art form.

C．There was no academic school to teach dancing.

D．Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.

6．When Martha Graham continued to dance in her 70s，she .

A．was warmly welcomed by the youth

B．achieved huge success once again

C．received many awards for her age

D．was attacked by people

7．The text is mainly about .

A．the background of modern dance in America

B．the development of modern dance in America

C．Martha Graham and her achievements in dance

D．the awards Martha Graham won in her life

Ⅱ.七选五

As every person knows a man needs words，many words，to express what is happening to him—his thoughts and his feelings.

Although everything comes from the brain，men seem to separate their thoughts from their feelings.

8 This can clearly be seen in the expressions describing the brain and the phrases created for the heart.

9 But the heart is a simple muscle that pumps blood through our system.And today doctors have had some success in removing a man’s heart and putting another one in its place.Yet our language for the brain is limited and unimaginative when you consider the great wealth of expressions that speak for the heart.

10 What more can be said after saying that a man has good brain，or sharp one or a great one? But just consider the larger number of colorful phrases for a poor brain—pinhead，fathead，thickhead，knucklehead，dimwit，nitwit，idiot—there are dozens of them.Yes，our language is very negative when we forget that everything comes from the brain，emotion as well as thought.

But we forget that fact and center all our feelings in the heart. 11 They cover every kind of emotion.They fill the pages of the literature of the world.

What is love，the poets tell us，but two hearts beat as one.A man of courage is“brave-hearted”and“great-hearted”．12 Cruelty comes from a hard heart—affection from a warm heart，

never a cold one.A good man，one who means well，“has his heart in the right place，”while a fearful man often finds “his heart in his mouth”or “sinking to his feet”．Well known to us are such words as“heartache”，“heart-break”，“heart-to-heart talk”，“straight from the heart”．A．There are more words to describe poor brain than a good one.

B．They place all their thinking in the brain，and all their feelings in the heart.

C．You are getting to know everything about him—his intentions and purposes.

D．The brain is too complex and mysterious，too difficult to understand.

E．We have created a vast wealth of special phrases to express these feelings.

F．A gentle person is “tender-hearted ”or “soft-hearted”．

G．Don’t believe in your feelings.

高考英语阅读理解D专练5篇

阅读理解D专练5篇 Passage 1(2017江苏,D) Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.

高考英语完型填空专题练习及答案

完形填空练习 【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。 【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构 首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构： （1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补） （2）主语+系动词+表语 其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类： （1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。 （2）充当谓语的一定是动词。 （3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。 （4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。 （5）作状语的典型词类是副词。 再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类： （1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。 （3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子

结构来分析。） （4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。 【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。 【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .

He suddenly glanced at me and said quietly，“Why are you staring at me like that？” 答案：was looking 题干中没有出现具体的时间状语，可以从意义上去把握。此句在意义上应该用进行时，又根据此句中的must have sensed和glanced at可知是过去进行时。句意：他一定感觉到我在看着他。他突然看向我然后轻声问道：“你为什么一直那样盯着我看？” 2． I had a strong desire to reach in and play with the toy，but________(hold)back thankfully by the shop window. 答案：was held 被动语态由“助动词be＋及物动词的过去分词”构成。被动语态的时态变化只改变be的形式，过去分词部分不变。h old back“阻隔，隐瞒”。句意：我非常想进去玩玩具，但是我幸好被橱窗阻隔了。根据句意，此句含有被动语态在里面，hold back 要用被动语态。 3．(2015·四川，4改编)More expressways________(build) in Sichuan soon to promote the local economy. 答案：will be built 根据题干中的时间状语soon可知，用将来时。expressways与build为被动关系，用被动语态。句意：四川不久将建设更多的高速公路以促进当地经济的发展。 4．(2015·重庆，1改编)—Is Peter coming？ —No，he ______(change) his mind after a phone call at the last minute. 答案：changed 句意：——Peter来吗？——没有，刚才接到一个电话后改变主意了。根据at the last minute发生在过去，故用一般过去时。 5．(2015·重庆，13改编)In my hometown，there is always a harvest supper for the farmers after all the wheat ______(be) cut. 答案：has been 表示动作已经发生或完成用现在完成时。句意：在我的家乡，收麦过后农民会举行一个丰收晚宴。 核心单词 1.shallow adj. 浅的；浅薄的

高三英语阅读理解专练（七） 制卷人：施浩杰2008/11/17 A His own way to express love Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected. Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words. I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”this simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes. Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness. My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother. (344 words) 1. Why does the author envy other girls of her age? A.

北京市最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby. She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden.
