高考英语复习高考题型重组专题练习高考题型重组练(四)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2019·青岛市质量检测] Recently whenever I turned on my computer or my mobile phone, news about the great effect of Hurricane Harvey on thousands of people caught my eye. I saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many humaninterest stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eye.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn't sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to make as many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that they took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent，“ Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead，we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事主题：面对灾难，采取积极的行动来拯救自己和帮助别人【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了一家连锁面包店的员工们在面对哈维飓风带来的洪水、断电时，在等待救援的同时采取积极的行动，利用应急电源烤面包去帮助社区受洪水影响的居民。

B[2019·石家庄一模]At 9：30 a．m. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification(通知) that I'd already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “ 11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups，” my screen read. “ Put your phone down until 9：52 a．m.! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”These updates were sent via Moment, an app that tracks the screen time, created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work, Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.“I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone，” he said. “So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed hi m whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound like a bee, and I'd go and do something else. It was like something pushing me in the right direction，” he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him, it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.Besides, Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $7.99 a month.“I am so muc h happier, I sleep better, I read more, I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my daytoday life，” Jack, a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “digital wellness”， the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.体裁：说明文题材：信息技术主题：提醒手机使用超时的软件【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种名为“Moment”的手机软件，该软件可以对超时使用手机的人发出提醒，让人们合理使用设备。
