He has also won Emmy awards for his work on television. Itzhak Perlman suffered from polio （腦灰質(zhì)炎）at the age of four. The disease damaged his legs. He uses a wheelchair or walks with the aid of crutches on his arms. But none of this stopped him from playing the violin. He began as a young child. He took his first lessons at the Music Academy of Tel Aviv. Very quickly, his teachers recognized that he had a special gift. At thirteen he went to the United Sates to appear on television. His playing earned him the financial aid to attend the Juilliard School in New York. In nineteen sixty-four Itzhak Perlman won the Leventritt Competition in that city. His international fame had begun. His music is full of power and strength. It can be sad or joyful, loud or soft. But critics say it is not the music alone that makes his playing so special. They say he is able to communicate the joy he feels in playing, and the emotions that great music can deliver. Anyone who has attended a performance by Itzhak Perlman will tell you that it is exciting to watch him play. His face changes as the music from his violin changes. He looks sad when the music seems sad. He smiles and closes his eyes when the music is light and happy. He often looks dark and threatening when the music seems dark and threatening.

And then gradually we'll encourage them to build goals. “After 30 days,residents gain access to services like financial aid,housing assistance and employment opportunities through Back on My Feet's partners. In its first year, the New York chapter has seen 41 members obtain employment, 34 gain housing and 50 work in job-training programs. That's not to say it's always easy. “I wanted to quit.

We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish. Children learn this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase ‘‘well, it's just my opinion" can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification（正當(dāng)?shù)睦碛桑?for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo（禁忌）around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else. This can make things hard for the teacher. We want to promote tolerance and respect in our classrooms and give young people a sense: this is how one ought to behave. Yet, we are also seeking to develop reasoning and critical thinking. To some extent, there is an idea that people's views carry equal weight because all individuals ought to be treated equally. Treating people　equally is different from treating what they say with equal weight, though. We need to make clear to students that the right to one's opinions does not ignore the need to support them with argument when called to do so. Justification is the signal difference between opinion and argument. Opinions are stated;　arguments are advanced. Opinions are given; arguments are proposed. When we ask a student to explain themselves, we are asking them to give us something that will lend evidence to what they have said. We are asking them to convince us, to persuade us, to show us the reasonableness of what it is they are saying. 64. According to Paragraph 2, if you offer a get-out clause, you may　　　　. A. fall into a difficult situation　　　　B. escape being questioned C. raise your social position　　　　D. have to further explain your opinion 65. The teacher may find it hard to　　　　　　　. A. put up a brick wall to avoid giving acceptable reasons B. challenge the opinions of others to have a deep effect on them C. encourage tolerance and respect while developing reasoning and critical thinking D. tell the differences between opinion and argument 66. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to　　　　　　 . A. students　　　　B. teachers　　　　C. needs　　　　D. opinions 67. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Everyone is entitled to their opinion B. Never bother with the rights of others C. “It's just my opinion" isn't good enough D. Treat what people say equally 【參考答案】2. 64-67 BCDC　 9 浙江桐廬縣2017高考英語閱讀理解九月選練（三） 【2016高考訓(xùn)練】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A.B.C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain.” Christopher Reeve Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards. Today I walked 5 miles. My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope. A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.” “They could have all been wrong.” “They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(復(fù)原). No physical therapy(治療). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.” “Trying is never failure.” What made me finally try? The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not?” When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams. One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again. Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too? Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Ben-Gay. 1. What’s the best title of this passage ? A.

The system, backed by technology giant Parker Hannifin Corp, will fill up quicker than some models—about one gallon an hour—and last up to 20 years, according to Go Natural CNG Chief Executive Lucas Kjar. The unit, expected by the end of the year, will use hydraulic technology to compress (壓縮) the gas for vehicle use, he said. He did not say how much the unit would cost. But Go Natural may have a lot of competition. General Electric, Whirlpool and Eaton are all working on home refueling technologies expected to be launched in the next couple of years. General Electric, which received $1.8 million from the government to develop its system, aims to release a unit that will cool natural gas to minus 50 degrees Celsius to extract (提取) water and other contaminates before refueling. GE aims to sell the unit at $500, about a tenth of the cost of current models. General Electric said it was in the development phase and declined to comment on the program’s progress. Honda, which makes the natural gas-fired Honda Civic GX, has contacted GE and Whirlpool to discuss their plans, according to Elmer Hardy, Honda’s senior manager of alternative fuel vehicles. Eaton, which received $3.4 million from the government to develop the technology, is working on a unit at its labs in Southfield, Michigan, that would use liquids to compress the gas instead of the traditional metal pistons(活塞). It aims to make a unit available for $500 by 2015. “We are seeing if we can do it in a way that reduces the price point,” said Clark Fortune, who leads the program at Eaton. “The adoption will improve if the costs come down.” 46. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage car owners to use natural gas. B. To advertise some technology companies. C. To introduce a new home refueling system. D. To present some ways of saving energy. 47. Which company may be the first to release the new refueling system? A. Eaton B. General Electric C. Whirlpool D. Go Natural 48. Which of the following is true of the system to be launched by Go Natural? A. It can be bought at $5oo now. B. It has got into market this year. C. It can be used for twenty years. D. It is financed by Honda. 49. What is the government’s attitude to the new home refueling system? A. Doubtful B. Cautious C. Negative D. Supportive 50. What may prevent the system from being widely accepted according to Clark Fortune? A. Its refueling speed. B. Its present price. C. Its compressing technique. D. Its appearance. 【參考答案】46—50 CDCDB 【山2014高考訓(xùn)練】 Everybody loves to play board games sometimes, but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence. Some of the earliest board games are over 5,000 years old. The oldest is probably Senet, an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 BC. The game involves an element of luck, and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God. For this reason, games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body, to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows, and uses two sets of at least five pawns. The actual rules are unknown, although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today. The Royal Game of Ur, also known as the Game of Twenty Squares, is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur, in 2600 BC Mesopotamia. It was played with two sets of seven counters, one black and one white, and three four-sided dice (骰子). Although the ancient rules are unknown, a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC. Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon (西洋雙陸棋)，which itself has a long history. The game of Nard, which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC, used two sets of fifteen counters, four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today, although the initial starting positions and rules are different. Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India. 51. The text is meant to introduce________. A. a common origin of board games B. the unknown rules of board games C. several kinds of earliest board games D. the newly discovered board games 52. What do we know about the game of Senet IN paragraph 1? A. Its actual rules are still in use. B. It used to be played in tombs. C. It is probably the oldest board game. D. Its design is closely related to God. 53. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. A brief introduction to the Royal Game of Ur. B. A reliable account of the First Dynasty of Ur. C. The recent discovery of an ancient board game. D. The original rules found in a stone tablet. 54. What can be inferred from the text? A. There were some similarities between the games. B. The earliest board game was found in Europe. C. All the games used the same number of dice. D. We haven’t got any record of the board games. 55.

For those in a hurry, pretty much everyone here, it’s an icy pace for a crosstown trip. Janette Sadik-Khan, the city’s transportation commissioner, is proposing an interesting fix for 34th Street. The city plan would close 34th Street to non-bus traffic in the block between the Empire State Building and Macy’s. On the rest of the street, cars would move one way only. It would take getting used to, but for bus passengers, the city says there are more than 40,000 a day on public, tour or commuter (通勤) buses along 34th Street. The plan should cut the commute by up to 35 percent. People in other vehicles or about 10 percent of the human traffic would have to zig and zag (鋸齒形) to get through this section of the city. It is probably fair to say that most are not particularly pleased about the whole concept. So the city needs to answer important questions. Will this unrest mean more traffic on side streets that are already unbearably crowded? Will deliveries be limited to the daybreak hours? Will Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Ms. Sadik-Khan be willing to change or drop the plan if it simply won’t work? The Bloomberg administration has worked to improve bus traffic around the city. An experiment to speed up city buses along Fordham Road in the Bronx has already reduced travel time and increased passengers’ number. Urban planners have been studying the city’s crosstown problems since the first traffic jam. Robert Moses at one point proposed a major highway just south of 34th Street, part of which would go through an office building. The question is still whether it will really make it easier to operate in Manhattan. 1. What’s the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Traffic in Manhattan is much too bad. B. New Yorkers enjoy playing jokes about their buses. C. People are hard to cross 34th Street. D. An interesting fix for crowded street is being made. 2. How many measures would be taken in order to improve the traffic situation in Manhattan according to this plan? A. 2　　　　B. 3　　　　C. 4　　　　D. 6 3. What’s the purpose of the experiment by the Bloomberg administration? A. To improve traffic jam. B. To reduce travel time. C. To increase ridership. D. To relieve traffic pressure. 4. According to this passage, whose proposal might be difficult to be carried out? A. Janette Sadik-Khan.　　　　B. Robert Moses.　　　　 C. Michael Bloomberg.　　　　D. Ms. Sadik-Khan.　 【參考答案】7.ACDB　 2016高考英語****閱讀理解。 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 We know that sugary sodas aren’t good for our bodies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse. Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries— as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement. The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had. Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(雞尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame. The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.” But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen. 4．What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found? A. Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people. B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods. C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression. D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences. 5．What do we know about the process of the study? A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it. B. The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over. C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over. D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end. 6．It is implied in the passage that ______. A. more research is needed to confirm the new findings B. the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findings C. cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depression D. the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits 7．What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression? A.Sodas. B.Unsweetened coffee. C.Sugary coffee. D.Fruit punch. 參考答案4-7 CDAB 9
