2013年高考英语阅读理解练习题（十八）
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself.Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way,you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes,and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics,but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge,it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look,the way you act,the way you talk and the way you think.Interestingly,our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us.Unfortunately,most of these images are more negative than they should be.Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is,make a list if you need to,but write down all of the great things you do every day.Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well,roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math,find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile,get to the track and practice.If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends,buy a few new clothes.But remember,just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualit-
ies.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back,you’ll know you’re well on your way.Good luck!

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer.And if you
don’t know for sure,it’s very likely that you can find out.There may be a watch on your wrist;there may be a clock on the wall,desk,or computer screen;or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板).
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby,your body keeps its own beat.Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节) the beating of our heart,the pace of our breathing,the discharge(排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream,and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape.Even if we ignore it,it’s still going by,ticking away,second by second,minute by minute,hour by hour.So the main issue in using your time well is,“Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy.Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time,you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student.Perhaps more importantly,the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies,the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day.Instead,the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time.Rather than letting the day go by,largely without our awareness,what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
1.The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is .
A.your slave and serves you
B.your supporter and helps you
C.under your control and obeys you
D.under your influence and follows you
2.The author intends to tell us that time .
A.could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B.could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C.should be well managed for our own interest
D.should be saved for outside interests
3.In the next part,the author would most probably discuss with you .
A.how to keep up with the times
B.how to make up for lost time
C.how to have a good time
D.how to make good use of time

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t,strictly speaking,even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival,tomorrow,in a setting any director might envy:Lincoln Center.Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards,the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers,except for the age of the participants:about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner,managing director of Wingspan Arts,a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington,Virginia.“We want to make this a national event,” Ms.Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms.Gardner said,talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project,a media arts and leadership-training group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years,particularly among young people.The wireless industry’s trade association,CTIA,estimates (估计) more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act,a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system.The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before,and during,disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers-telecommunications companies-is voluntary,but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users.They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages,according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president,likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster.The second would involve “approaching threats”,which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings.The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies,or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
1.What is the purpose of the approved plan?
A.To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B.To popularize the use of cell phones.
C.To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D.To promote the wireless industry.
2.The improvement to the present system is in the charge of .
A.CTIA B.the Warning Alert and Response Network
C.FCC D.federal regulators
3.The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by .
A.the US federal government
B.mobile phone users
C.the carriers themselves
D.the law of the United States
4.Which of the following is true of cell phone users?
A.They must accept the alert service.
B.They may enjoy the alert service for free.
C.They must send the alerts to others.
D.They may choose the types of messages.
5.An alert message will NOT be sent if .
A.a child loses his way B.a university shooting happens
C.a natural disaster happens D.a terrorist attack occurs

When I was a child，I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city.We lived on a farm and，in the winter especially，we were quite cut off from the outside world.As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However，I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution.I suffer from asthma(哮喘)，and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car，I seldom use it because of the traffic jams.One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages.First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动).Besides，there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position.Finally，if you like shopping，the variety of goods is very surprising—and，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A.Staying on the farm. B.Moving to the countryside.
C.Leaving home for the city. D.Running away from the school.
2.Which of the following is true about the writer?
A.He is very old now. B.He is in good health.
C.He prefers driving a car. D.He lives in the city now.
3.In the passage，the writer tries to____.
A.express his opinions about way of life
B.describe his life in the countryside
C.show an interest in the outside world
D.persuade the reader to live in the city
4.How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By inferring. B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples. D.By giving explanations.
