张静中学2024高考英语一轮阅读题及答案四
影评类(1)
Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do while school was in session.
One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire. Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the globe!
Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the grand prize in an Indian show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”. The night before he answers the prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢比)! But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions. Viewers also learn about Jamal’s childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover, Latika.
The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. Jamal and Salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through a window down to the shacks (简陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. It was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together.
So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.

(·南昌市高三调研)At first, the earth's surface layer (层) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, these rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (砾石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.
There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break up into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.
The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with small pieces of rock.These rub the larger ones.
Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.
The heat of the sun is also helpful in breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot.
If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break up into smaller pieces.
1．According to the passage, soil ________.
A．forms very slowly
B．is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand
C．makes up the layers of the earthD．is becoming smaller and smaller
2．Which of the following speeds up the breaks of rocks most?
A．Hot weather.B．Cold water.
C．Sharp changes in temperature.D．More dead plants in the cracks.
3．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The remains of many plants and animals can form soil.
B．If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.
C．Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.
D．Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.
4．The best title for this passage should be ________.
A．Soil from rocksB．Ways to break up rocks
C．Soil on the earthD．Soil, outmost layer of the earth
Ⅲ.选做题任务型读写
How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of selfconfidence.In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin?
Developing selfconfidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But selfconfidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution?
With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become.
Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are.Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.
Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.
Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready.
All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.
Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.
Title: (1) ________ Selfconfidence
The parent's role (2) ________ more than blame them. Encourage them to try new things and take risks.
(3) ________ their mistakes.
Advice on becoming confident Practice as much as (4)________．
Use body (5) ________ to show your confidence.
Focus on your strengths and talents and put those abilities to (6) ________.
