二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
In a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.
There's a hidden problem: you have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don't, it's slow dialup access for you. And for those living really far away, there may be no Internet access at all.
Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs (郊区), it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant (不情愿的) to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense.
But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere.
8
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables (光缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

语篇解读:作者的妻子沉溺于网购,常花冤枉钱,且不听作者的提醒和劝诫。可见,网购给人们的生活带来便利的同时,也带来了一些问题。
1.It It seems that ...表示“似乎……”,为固定句式。
2.had shopped It was the first/second ... time that sb. had done sth.表示“这是某人第一/二……次做某事”,因表示到过去某一时间为止已经是第几次做某事,所以使用过去完成时。
3.to think remind sb. to do sth.表示“提醒某人做某事”。
4.approaching 此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构,因宾语the New Year与approach构成主谓关系,所以应使用现在分词作宾补,故填approaching。
5.Besides 此处是作者的妻子在陈述自己网购的又一个理由,所以应填Besides。 6.the 此处表示“网购的过程”,为特指,因此填定冠词the。
7.with with the development of表示“随着……的发展”,为固定短语。 8.who 该句的先行词为Those,此处是指人的不定代词,且关系词在从句中作主语,
10
所以填who。
9.problems 根据空格前的“a series of”及下文中的“One of them is”可知,此处名词应使用复数形式。
10.easily 因修饰谓语动词,作状语,所以填副词。
