I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when I was little, in which Bugs Bunny would dig under the ground to China. Asia seemed as unreal to me as Mars.

Not many young people get to visit the other side of the world, but last summer I was fortunate to have the chance. With my teammates, I arrived in Beijing.

The most unforgettable experience in China was visiting the Great Wall. Its length and impressive(给人深刻印象的)construction made a lasting impression on my mind. Walking less than a mile on the wall was enough to leave me completely exhausted(累). Most of the steps are very steep(陡的). I used up three camera films in the four hours we walked on it.

Everywhere I looked in Beijing, I saw people on bicycles. I saw thousands of cars too, but for every car there were at least two bikes.

One night, six of us decided to borrow bikes from the hotel and ride around Beijing after dark. Since there were only three bikes we had to double up. So not only did we receive stares for being Americans, but also for falling off the bikes every 20 seconds!

Shopping was another very interesting part of the trip. At the Great Wall and the Silk Market, you can get the lowest prices because you can bargain.

“Duo shao qian?”

“Only 150 yuan. Good quality, 100 percent real cotton!”

“Bu yao, I don’t want it, xie xie.”

“Come back! Forty yuan, 40, I give you 40! Real cotton!”

All you have to do is walk away and the traders will lower the price, sometimes to a quarter of the figure they had asked for at first.

I have too many memories, experiences and observations to share. I could talk for days about the differences between China and the US. I feel so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trip to China forever.

1.What made the American worn out on the Great Wall?

A.Walking for quite a long distance. B.Using up four camera films.

C.The length of the Great Wall. D.A four-hour tiring climb.

2.W hat attracted a lot of people’s attention was that .

A.the Americans were not skilled in riding bicycles

B.the Americans were going around Beijing after dark

C.the Americans borrowed bicycles from the hotel

D.the Americans did not have enough bikes

3.From the passage it can be inferred that the writer .

A.liked the Chinese culture B.would come to China again

C.bought something cheap in Beijing D.wanted to make his experiences in China known 4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.An Impressive Visit to the Great Wall

B.Shopping in the Silk Market

C.Bicycle Rides Around Beijing

D.An Unforgettable Trip to China

A few weeks ago I was about to take my son to his ice hockey game when I noticed something unusual. He was fully dressed and ready to leave, except that one side of his shirt was tucked(塞)into his trousers while the other side remained hanging out.

“John, you look great, but you forgot to tuck in your shirt,” I chided(责备).

“Dad, you don’t understand,” he replied. “I keep one side of my shirt out on purpose. It’s for goo d luck.”

And then I understood. Superstitions(迷信)and sports go hand in hand. In fact, I would bet that superstitious behavior has been a part of sports since the beginning of organized games.

Perhaps you’ve noticed your own young athlete developing some u nusual pregame rituals

(仪式):putting on the same dirty undershirt game after game, wearing one sock up and one sock down, eating a particular pregame meal, listening to the same song on the tape while riding to the game.

In fact, from my experience of observing even top professional athletes, superstitions are nothing more than patterns that many athletes go through, not so much to ensure(保证)good luck, but rather to help them relax and be comfortable.

It is unusual for six-or seven-year-old children to have already developed some sports superstitions, but by the time they’re 10 or 11, your kids might begin displaying some odd behavior before a game. As a parent, don’t be overly concerned.

Of course, you’ll want to respect your child’s requests about wearing that special “lucky shirt” or making certain you feed him that “lucky breakfast” or whatever. Don’t put down the ritual. However, you should point out to your child that while it’s fine to develop a pregame ritual to help him or her prepare for a contest, you’ll also want to emphasize that one’s success in sports is much more a function of hard work, practice and determination. After all, those are the real values you want to put into your child’s mind.

Most superstitions last only as long as the athlete co ntinues to experience “good luck”. Once that streak of good fortune runs out, he’ll be glad to drop that undershirt into the washing machine. 5.Athletes’ superstitions always .

A.ensure them good luck B.enable them to perform well

C.does harm to them D.make them feel comfortable

6.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Most of the odd pregame behavior(as mentioned in the 5th paragraph) is harmless.

B.Following a pregame ritual gives the athletes a sense of comfort.

C.Even though the behavior is harmless to the child, a teammate or an opponent, we still can’t say the superstitious behavior is fine.

D.If a child begins displaying some odd behavior before a game as sports superstitions, a parent needn’t worry too much.

7.What shouldn’t you do according to the passage?

A.Tell your young athlete: The harder they work at their sports, the luckier they’ll become.

B.Tell your kid more about the top athletes’ superstitions and encourage him to do so.

C.Some kids don’t want to talk about their superstitions, and so respect their rights and their privacy.

D.Keep a sense of humor about your kid’s superstitions, and let them do the sa me.

8.The title of the passage should be .

A.Getting Rid of “Silly” Superstitions

B.Dealing with Those “Silly” Superstitions

C.Supporting Young Athlete’s Superstitions

D.Talking about Superstitions

C

In deciding upon a unit of measurement, it is possible to pick anything. For example, the average height of a man could possibly have been a unit of measurement. In fact, some of the units used today in English-speaking countries are based on such things as the distance from a man’s elbow(肘)to the tip of his middle finger, or the weight of a grain(粒)of wheat.

Because there have been so many differences in weights and measures used in different countries, an international system has been urged. If one system were to be used by all countries of the world, it would probably be the metric system.

This is a system worked out by a committee(委员会)of scientists appointed(委任)in France in 1789. The English-speaking countries are almost the only ones that do not use the metric system in their measures. However, it is used in scientific work even in those countries.

The metric system is based on a measure of length called the “meter”. This is approximately (近似)one ten-millionth of the distance on the Earth’s surface from pole to equator(赤道).It is about 39.37 inches.

The metric system is based on 10 as is our number system, so that each unit of length is 10 times as large as the next smaller unit. There are square and cubic units for measuring area and volume(体积)which correspond to the units of length.

The unit of weight is the gram, which is the weight of a cubic centimeter of pure water. The liter is a measure used as the quart is used, but it is a little larger. The hectare(公顷), which is 10,000 square meters, is used as the acre in Britain, but is 2.471 acres. The metric system is more convenient to use than the English system because its plan is the same as that of our number system.

Here are some equivalents for the metric and English systems: One foot equals 0.305 meter; one inch equals 2.540 centimeters; one mile equals 1.609 kilometers; one quart liquid equals 0.946 liter.

9.Metric system should be used in the world, because .

A.man measured the distance which is based on the distance from a man’s elbow to the tip of his middle finger

B.the English-speaking countries used their own measurement

C.scientific work needs a unit of measurement

D.based on the weight of a grain of wheat, an informal measure of weight is used today 10.In , a committee of scientists worked out “Metric system.”

A.America B.Japan C.France D.Germany

11.Which of the following units does NOT belong to “Metric system”?

A.Acre B.Hectare C.Kilometer. D.Gram.

12.This passage is mainly about .

A.how to work out the Metric system

B.what is the Metric system

C.how to change other units into the Metric system

D.the development of the Metric system

A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest (鸟巢),or handles one without a license will be fined £1,000.

There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics(阁楼)or spare bedroom curtains may seem for away from them. But there are others who do not fail into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large celars which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine, which has nothing to do with drinking it. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.

Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a£1,000 if he had not already applied to the Nature Conservancy Council for a license to handle bats. And there is no certainty that he would automatically be granted one.

13.Some people who dislike bats .

A.do not mind them hanging in trees

B.run the risk of finding them in their attics

C.think it strange they should roost(栖息)in the curtains

D.think they are unlikely to be bothered by them

14.Mr. Waugh thinks that bats .

A.should be kept under control B.should all be destroyed

C.interfere with his wine D.prevent him owning wine

15.Because he is a wine-lover, M. Waugh .

A.only wants to own the best wines B.stores only good wines

C.keeps certain good wines D.refuses to drink good wines

16.Success in removing bats from your home depends on .

A.seeking help from the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology

B.the granting of a Nature Conservancy Council license

C.taking the course of action recommended by Dr Stebbings

D.applying for a license from the Nature Conservancy Council

Like most people, you may have heard a lot about online banking but probably haven’t tried it yourself. You still pay your bills by mail much in the way your parents did, for you are probably afraid of not knowing how to deal with it. Actually, online banking isn’t out to change your money habits. Instead, it uses today’s computer technology to give you the choice of by-passing the time-consuming, paper-based ways of traditional banking in order to manage your money more quickly and efficiently.

The advantage of the Internet and the popularity of personal computers presented both an opportunity and a challenge for the banking industry. For years, financial(金融)institutions have used powerful computer networks to automate millions of daily transactions. Now that their customers are connected to the Internet from personal computers, banks begin to expect similar economic advantages by adapting(采用)those same internal electronic processes to home use.

Today, most large national banks, many regional banks and even smaller banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as brick-to-click banks. The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully secure, fully functional online banking for free or for a small fee. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking likely will become as common as automated teller machines.

Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a day, and they’re only a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem rises, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally execute and confirm transactions at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer advanced tools, including account aggregation, stock quotes, and portfolio managing programs to help you manage all of your assets(财产)more effectively.

17.According to the passage nowadays online banks are so popular, but .

A.all the consumers still prefer to pay their bill by mail

B.it can not take the place of automated tellers machines

C.many people still worried about its safety

D.not every consumer knows how to use it

18.The writer wrote this short passage in order to tell people .

A.banks just try to use online banking instead of ATM in the future

B.how convenient online banking is

C.how to use online banking to take care of consumers’ money

D.online banking is much better than the corner banks

19.Online banking is a system .

A.that if you need money, it will help you to get it

B.that helps banks to offer better services

C.that will help consumers to save their money if necessary

D.that you can find in your personal computers

20.We can imagine in the near future, .

A.online banking will be part of people’s life

B.one can not live without online banking

C.PC banking will completely takes the place of home banking

D.people can only do their business through online banking

2017年江苏省英语高考阅读C A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking

(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy(补贴), however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1.Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 1 “Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child,it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this remobilization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father. It is argued by some writers that the transiti on to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation; on the other hand,the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing number of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 1. According to the author, being a father______. A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men B. has a different meaning for those who have daughters C. makes some men feel proud and others uneasy D. means nothing but more responsibilities 2. It is stated in the passage that______. A. some parents are not prepared to have a child B. young couples do not like children at all C. working couples do not have much time to take care of their children

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. (1)It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol (2)What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. (3)Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. (4)Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】(1)A

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the qu front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the “I was in the army,” he said. “ carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. enemy from the distance.” I listened He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,” he said. “One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.” The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,”  anyone the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed He in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.”  okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s killing innocent people.” On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. () A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order
