《昙花开的晚上》阅读答案
昙花开的晚上（11分）
造化施惠万物，连最小的生命也不忽略。
当恬恬第一个发现昙花有禧蕾时，只有米粒那般大小, 嵌在宽厚的叶子边缘一处齿形的缺罅里；那片叶子，还是上次被猫猫追逐时踏断了仅存的一片，一直冷落在花坛一角，孤零零随风摇曳，不想居然也孕育了花苞。
今天黄昏，眼看那一根根护在外面的花萼先已舒展，蓿蕾昂然翘扬，巍颤颤欲放还敛，我小心地安置它在桌子中央，只等待生命展露它神秘与美妙的那一刻来到。
八点钟，白天的烦嚣都已成为过去，一切静下来了。独自与恬恬分坐桌畔。她推开了她的功课，我打开我的书卷——在这恬淡的气氛中，对着高雅的花，我没有看长篇累牍的论文，那太笨重
了；也没有看谈情说爱的小说，那太庸俗To
“姆妈，昙花开了，你来看呀!”恬恬一声惊喜的呼唤。
忙抬眼，只见原先抿合得紧紧的尖端，已微微开启露出一圈
洁白的花瓣, 成钮扣那么大一个圆圈，宛如娇憨的婴儿,
翘起她嫩多多、香馥馥的小嘴，那样柔润，又那么逗人爱, 给人有亲一亲她的欲望。
“我可不可以吻吻她？”恬恬谛视着昙花，眼睛发亮。
“不可以。”我说，“人的俗气会玷薰了它。”
但是，我们还是忍不住一个一个俯下头去，把鼻尖贴近花瓣，深深地吸了它吐出来的幽香。
九点钟，轻轻的、怯怯的、几乎是肉眼看不见的，花蕾一直在不停地展开，仿佛一位睡眼惺怆的少女，那一排秀长郁密的睫毛不住闪动，突然，一阵颤抖，莹光闪闪，一束洁白纤细的花心，盈盈探首花外，象牙刻的没有那样精致光润，白玉雕的不及那样玲珑剔透，这小小的花心宛如花的触角，先向这世界试探：似乎满意了这清静安逸的气氛，这不冷不热的温度。于是，围在花心四周的花瓣，又娇怯地展开了些，像那嫣然的笑。
“黄昏了，是繁花合拢花瓣的时候了。”而在这清静的夜，昙花却正在吐蕊盛放，开在黑夜中的花，是要与月亮一比皎洁么！
十点一刻，时间之流默默地滚去，受它灌溉的生命悄悄酝酿着美和芬芳，那一片片相叠相扣、密切偎依的花瓣，犹如蝴蝶展翅，看似怯生生娇柔无力，轻俏俏半启犹阖，盈盈绽放时，真是冰肌雪肤，粉妆玉塑，光华四射，一时连灯光也暗淡无色。玉瓣展处，中央赫然涌出一簇黄灿灿的花蕊, 每茎像一个金黄色的音符，整齐的排成一行一列，奏着欣悦的生之乐章。
恬恬坚持着要守着花开完，但小小身心终抵敌不住一天的疲困，我轻轻撼着她的肩敦促她说：“昙花现在刚盛开, 你已看到最美的一刻，不必再等它萎谢。”起居室内只剩下我一个人，
一灯如水，独对孤芳。窗外，细雨洒落芭蕉，风卷起榕叶，似乎秋意更浓。
十一点半，夜阑人静。玉翅般的昙花瓣现在已完全展开，凝视中，恍惚心灵与外境之间，渐渐起了阵朦胧的轻雾, 身外的世界逐渐离我淡去远去，花我共处，浑不知是我投身花中，抑是花融渗入我心内——光影若然一闪，雾渐散去，灯光掩映下，花儿却更焕发、更璀璨了。
我若有所悟，依稀记起不知从何掇拾来的断句：一片花影，将引起你眼泪不能表达的深思。
十二点，昙花仍然盛开着，夜更深静，也更凉沁。倦意爬上我的眼帘，挥拂不去。只得掩卷起立，闭上窗子，熄了灯亮，默默地向花儿道了“晩安”，悄然退出室外。走到门口，不由得又留恋地盼顾了最后一眼，只见幽暗中依然闪耀着一团白皑皑的花影。噢，是了，它不会因为无人欣赏而减损它的美丽芬芳。
当我认识昙花以前，只知昙花总是用来形容生命的短促和事物的容易幻灭。如今我认识了它——从吐蕾、含苞以至盛开，却并不感到它生命的匆遽。所有的生命不问存在的时间短长，而在它有无显示；没有显示的生命再长也不过是一片空白，而昙花在它短短的开放时间，已显示了纯净的美和生命无比的璀璨。这美和璀璨，留给人的印象，岂不是永久的么！

They continue to look for better ways to increase egg production and to improve chick survival rates. When parrots incubate their eggs in the wild, the temperature and humidity of the nest are controlled naturally. Heat is transferred from the bird's skin to the top portion of the eggshell, leaving the sides and bottom of the egg at a cooler temperature. This temperature gradient may be vital to successful hatching. Nest construction can contribute to this temperature gradient. Nests of loosely arranged sticks, rocks, or dirt are cooler in temperature at the bottom where the egg contacts the nesting material. Such nests also act as humidity regulators by allowing rain to drain into the bottom sections of the nest so that the eggs are not in direct contact with the water. As the water that collects in the bottom of the nest evaporates, the water vapor rises and is heated by the incubating bird, which adds significant humidity to the incubation environment. In artificial incubation programs, aviculturists remove eggs from the nests of parrots and incubate them under laboratory conditions. Most commercial incubators heat the eggs fairly evenly from top to bottom, thus ignoring the bird's method of natural incubation, and perhaps reducing the viability and survivability of the hatching chicks. When incubators are not used, aviculturists sometimes suspend wooden boxes outdoors to use as nests in which to place eggs. In areas where weather can become cold after eggs are laid, it is very important to maintain a deep foundation of nesting material to act as insulator against the cold bottom of the box. If eggs rest against the wooden bottom in extremely cold weather conditions, they can become chilled to a point where the embryo can no longer survive. Similarly, these boxes should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid high temperatures that are also fatal to the growing embryo. Nesting material should be added in sufficient amounts to avoid both extreme temperature situations mentioned above and assure that the eggs have a soft, secure place to rest. 1. What is the main idea of the passage ? (A) Nesting material varies according to the parrots' environment. (B) Humidity is an important factor in incubating parrots' eggs. (C) Aviculturists have constructed the ideal nest box for parrots. (D) Wild parrots' nests provide information useful for artificial incubation. 2. The word "They" in line 2 refers to

老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 19
老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 19 The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century. In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance. This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway. When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries,

The ice tradegrew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by someforward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865),as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, halfthe ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston andChicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new householdconvenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenthcentury, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration,was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the icefrom melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling.Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept theice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve thedelicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox. But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the righttrack. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the villageof Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport hisbutter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff

The Extinction of the Dinosaurs million years ago) and the Paleocene period (65..C55 million years ago) in part by the types and amounts of rocks and fossils they contain or lack. Before the limit of 65 million years ago，marine 2.strata are rich in calcium carbonate due to accumulations of fossils of microscopic algae deposited on the sea floor. Above the 65-million-year limit，sea-floor sediments contain much less calcium carbonate ，and fossils of several families of mollusks are no longer found. In continental sediments ，dinosaur fossils ，though frequent before 65 million years ago ，are totally absent. By 3.contrast，new families of mammals appear，including large mammals for the first time. Scientists wondered for many years about what could have caused the dinosaurs' rapid disappearance at the end of the Cretaceous period，coming up with a great variety of theories and scenarios. For some, it could have been due to unfavorable genetic changes triggered by a dramatic increaseby a factor of 10，100，1，000 in cosmic-ray particles reaching the Earth after a supernova explosion somewhere in the neighborhood of the solar system. For these high-energy particles to affect life，they would have to get through the protective barrier of the Earth's magnetosphere ，the region of the upper atmosphere controlled by Earth's magnetic field. That could have happened if the cloud of particles from the supernova explosion reached the Earth during a period when the magnetosphere was weakened ， something that may happen when the Earth's magnetic field changes direction. And we know that the magnetic north and south poles of the Earth switch on the average twice every million years. However，this is not the only possible explanation for dinosaur destruction . 4.Other theories have raised the possibility of strong climate changes in the tropics (but they then must be explained) . Certainly，if climate changes，the changed distributions of temperature and rainfall modify the conditions that favor one ecosystem over another. The extinction of a particular family，genus，or species may result from a complicated chain of indirect causes and effects. Over thirty years ago ，scientist Carl Sagan quoted one suggestion that the demise of the dinosaurs resulted from the disappearance of a species of fern plant that was important for dinosaur digestion. Other theories involved a worldwide cold wave following the spread of a layer of cold but not very salty water in the world's oceans ，which floated on the surface because，with its low salinity，the water was less dense. 5.Proponents of another theory that remains under consideration today postulate that the extinction of the dinosaurs corresponds to a period of intense volcanic activity. It's not a question of just one or even of a thousand eruptions comparable to the explosion of Krakatoa in 1883，one of the largest volcanic events in modern times ，but rather of a prolonged period of activity. On the Deccan plateau in India，basalt (volcanic) rocks cover more than 500，000 square kilometers (nearly 200，000 square miles)，and correspond to massive lava outflows occurring precisely at the end of the Cretaceous. This sort of outflow could correspond to volcanic activity similar to the activity that drives sea-floor spreading ，with lava emerging from elongated fractures in the crust rather than from craters. 6.The volcanic convulsion that buried the Deccan plateau in lava must also have changed the composition of the atmosphere and severely affected climate. Initially，there must have been strong sudden cooling resulting from the blocking of sunlight by sulfate aerosol veils in the

高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. "This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said. （1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. （2）What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity （3）What is the author's attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful
