They say that before long，we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable or by satellite .Some people think that it's ridiculous to have that many channels．Their usual criticism goes something like this：

“I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch．No one needs to see that much TV．There’s not enough time in the day to watch all that!”They also state that most of what’s on television now isn’t worth watching in the first place．

I think they’re missing t he point．If the local library wanted to add another 5,000books,would we say“That’s silly,we’ll never have time to read all those books．”?The point is that we would have more choices．

I don’t believe that most people should watch more television And if we had 500 or even 1,000 channels to choose from，we wouldn’t have to spend more time watching the tube．We would．however,have a better selection of programs to choose from．That means that the quality of our viewing time would improve．

Parenting has never been an easy job，but mothers and fathers today face challenges in raising their children that their own parents may never have had to deal with

While children have always been particular eaters，for example，parents today are trying to supply healthful food in a world full ofchicken nuggets，processed snacks and soft drinks．Bike riding and hopscotch have given way to video games and text messaging．And working parents have to cope with all things around day care，jobs and family．

For millions ofpeople，the American dream ofowning a home seems to be slipping out of reach．

“Maybe young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents did,'’says 40-year-old building instmctor Pat Hennin．“But they can still have a home．Like their pioneer ancestors，they can build it themselves，and at less than half the cost of a ready-made house．”

The owner-builders came from every occupational group，although surprisingly few are professional building workers．Many take the plunge with little or no experience．“l learned how to build my house from reading books，”says John Brown，who built a six-room home for$25，000 in High Falls，New Jersey．“If you have patience and the carpentry(木匠)skill to make a bookcase，you can build a house．”An astonishing 50 percent of these owner builders hammer every nail．1ay every pipe，and wire every switch with their own hands．The rest contraet(承包)for some parts of the task．But even those who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from 30 percent to 45 percent ofwhat a ready-made home would cost．One survey revealed that 60 percent ofowner-builders also design their homes．Many others buy commercial house plans for less than $100 or use plans available from the U．S．Department ofAgriculture．

Birds in cities are damaging their health by trying to sing above the noise of urban life．

New research shows that male birds are trying to compete against traffic and city sounds．They are now singing louder and at higher frequencies，which could harm their vocal cords．Some birds are choosing to sing at night instead of dudng the day．This makes them more open to attack and also creates stress and exhanstion．

“The difference between urban and rural birdsong is becoming so big that the two groups could now be unable to communicate．This could lead to inbreeding and a weak gene pool．”said Dr Sue Anne Zollinger of the University of St Andrews．

According to Zollingar,a bird group with a small geae pool might adapt less quickly to new diseases and could be wiped out．

A study of the dawn chorus found that birds in Berlin sang up to 14 decibels(分贝)louder than those in the forest．The birds sang loudest on weekday momings．

“By trying to sing over the sound of the city,birds are rising vocal injury,”said Zollinger．“All this puts the sarne strain on a bird’s vocal cords as when ahuman need to shout to be heard—except the birds are doing it all day,every day,”she said．

“Singing under such pressure means birds have less control over the sound they produce．Their songs may lose quality and become more rough—sounding．”said Zollinger．This could make them appear less attractive to female birds．

Mark Constantine，author of The Sound Approach to Birding，said：“Birdsong is important for our quality of life and has been proved to reduce our blood pressure．When we live in the centre of large，urban areas，we get stressed and it's extremely good to have birdsong around us．The impact on humans of birdsong is massive．It harms us，as well as the birds，if their songs become louder and simpler

53．Some birds in cities now choose to sing at night time because_______．

A．they want to attract more birds of opposite sex

B．they are more likely to be discovered by their family

C．they can’t adapt to the loud nois es during the daytime

D．they have to frighten their enemy away

54．According to the passage，urban and rural birds might not be able to_______．A．recognize each other

B communicate with each other

C live with each other

D．compete against each other

55．It requires greatest efforts for birds in cities to sing o_______．

A．Monday nights B．Wednesday afternoons

C．Saturday Evenings D．Friday momings

56．According to Dr Sue Anne Zollinger,birds singing louder might eventually lead to_______．A．the harm done to man’s health

B the dying out of a species

C．the serious damage to the bird’s vocal cords

D．the decrease ofthe birth rate ofa bird group

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying

Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration(就职演说)last week in Washington Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter，cheers，hugs-but also many tears

It made us wonder,why dopeople cry?Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body．Y et studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse．Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject．They examined detailed descriptions ofcrying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory．

The team analyzed information from the Intemational Study on Adult Crying．As part of that study，three thousand people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried．

Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal. Crying does not always make a person feel better，he says．About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried．

But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience as helpful．

The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around．People who reached out for emotional support at the time-and received it-reported better results from the crying experience．

But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful．

Research has shown that women cry more of ten and more intensely than men．But it may not be to better effect，says the psychologist．The new findings，he says，did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying．In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry．

The paper entitled”Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in

Psychological Scieflce And there is more to learn．Jonathan Rottenberg says the science ofcrying is still in its infancy．

57·Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?

A．Because he was impressed by the laughter,cheers，hugs and tears．

B．Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying．

C．Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result．

D．Because it was the historic moment that many people cried

58．How did the researchers carry out the research?

A．They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs．

B．They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges．

C They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries．

D．They noted their own crying experiencesand compared with others．

59．We can learn from the passage that_______．

A．it may be better to cry alone than with others around

B．some support from others may make crying helpful

C．women who cry more of ten may have better effects than men

D．the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying

60．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means_______．

A．in the early stage B．in a secret state C．in the first place D in good condition 41-45ADBCB 46-50 CDCDD 51-55 ADCBD 56-60 BBCBA

As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it. 1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. a.they do not know how to enjoy themselves b.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c.they are travelling fast all the time d.they are becoming busier with their work 2.According to the writer ,the most important character for a good manager is his ________. a.not fearing stress b.knowing the art of relaxation c.high sense of responsibility d.having control over performance 3.Which of the follwing statements is ture? a.We can find some ways to avoid stress b.Stress is always harmful to people

2021年全国新高考高三考前冲刺英语阅读强化训练(两套,含答案解析)

2021年全国新高考高三考前冲刺英语阅读强化训练（两套，含答案解析）阅读强化训练(一) (建议用时：15分钟) Ⅰ阅读理解 Shortly after World War Ⅱ，a Dutch art dealer was arrested(逮捕) for secretly selling paintings by Vermeer (1632－1675) to the Nazis who invaded Holland during the war. Because Vermeer is considered to be one of Holland’s best painters, the dealer was charged with selling national treasures to the enemy. To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings were forgeries(伪造品), or fakes—he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermeer’s other works. Why, then, did the art world accept the fakes as real? One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeer’s other works. The dealer had claimed(声称) that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeer’s art career. Because painters’ styles often change throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect the “new discoveries” to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer. In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully. This is because experts expect a forger to copy famous paintings as closely as possible. Once the art dealer’s first forgeries were accepted as real, he was free to make more. The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also accepted as real Vermeer paintings from the same early period. Another reason experts were fooled is what some historians call The Emperor’s New Clothes effect. In Hans Christian Andersen’s story, The Emperor’s Ne w Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked(赤裸的). No one in the empire wants to admit that they cannot see the clothes because they believe the clothes are magic and that only good people can see them. Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeer’s best works. Because von Bode was highly respected, other experts began praising the “new discoveries”．At the time, this made it difficult to criticize(批评) the paintings or suggest that they were fakes. 【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。二战期间，荷兰画家Vermeer的“画作”被卖给纳粹党人，而被捕的画商却称这些画作是赝品，那么这些赝品是如何骗过了众多专家呢？1．Why did the art dealer admit that he had forged paintings? A．He wanted to anger the Nazis.

中考说明文阅读专项练习(四篇)含答案

说明文阅读（一）筷子的名堂刘杨 ①筷子起源于中国,距今已有三千多年的历史,是中华饮食文明的一部分。著名物理学家李政道在接受采访时曾说起筷子:“如此简单的两根东西,却高妙绝伦地应用了物理学上的杠杆原理。筷子是人类手指的延仲,手指能做的事,它都能做,且不怕高热、不怕寒冻,真是高明极了。” ②筷子在中国古代被称为“箸”。在今天我国某些地区的方言中,筷子仍然被叫作“箸”“箸子”“筷箸”,装筷子的“筷筒”被称为“筷箸笼”“箸笼子”。老舍在《四世同堂》里写道:“他喝了半盅儿酒,吃了一箸子菜。”“一箸子菜”就是河北一些地方的说法,意思是“夹了一筷子菜”。 ③在先秦时期就已经有了关于“箸”的文字记载。《韩非子·喻老》里这样写道:“昔者纣为象箸而箕子怖。”说的是商朝末年纣王极为奢侈,每顿饭都要使用象牙筷子,太师箕子看到纣王的举动,对此十分担忧。由于纣王越来越奢侈、荒淫无度,最终导致了商朝的灭亡。成语“见微知著”也来自这个典故。 ④魏晋南北朝时期有人将筷子写成“筋”,与“箸”通用。《世说新语》里写道:“王蓝田性急。尝食鸡子,以筋刺之,不得,便大怒,举以掷地。”在《三国演义》第二十一回写曹操与刘备煮酒论英雄时,曹操对刘备说,当今天下的英雄,只有你我二人。刘备听后,大吃一惊,“手中所执匙筋,不觉落于地下”。还好当时天要下雨,雷声大作,刘备这才从容地捡起筷子,并称“一震之威,乃至于此”，将内心的惊慌掩饰过去。 ⑤由“箸”到“筷”的称呼转变始于明朝江南一带的民间忌讳。陆容在《菽园杂记》中记载:“民间俗讳,各处有之、而吴中为甚。如舟行讳住,讳翻。以箸为快儿,幡布为抹布”由于明代吴中地区民间船行忌讳说“住”和“翻”,因此人们就将“箸”改名为“快”,意思是船开得快,而不是在水中停住。后来因为当时很多筷予是竹制的,“快”又被加上“竹字头”,筷子的名称就这样传播开来。 ⑥古代筷子主要还是以木筷、竹筷为主,象箸、玉箸、金箸这类奢华的材质也仅在王公贵族的餐具中出现。此后,筷子的材料从金银玉石到木竹钢铁,几乎无所不用。在外形上古今大致相同,通常是一头方形,另一头国形，圆形的一头用来夹菜。 ⑦俗话说:“民以食为天。”我国自古以来吃饭便十分讲究礼仪。《礼记》中有“饭黍毋以箸”的说法,意思吃米饭时不要用筷子,而要用饭勺,筷子则是专门用来吃盘中菜的。《礼记》中还说“羹之有菜者梜,无菜者不用梜”，汉代郑玄注解时认为梜就是筷子,这里说的是吃汤菜时,要用筷子夹其中的菜,如果汤里没有菜,就不需要用筷子了。 ⑧古代使用筷子的习俗和礼节一直流传至今。在摆放位置上,人们总是把筷子整齐地放置于进餐者的右手边,手执筷子的一头要与桌面边缘垂直(如果是圆桌,摆放角度要与半径线重合),不要将筷子用于进食的一端朝桌外摆放,也不要将一双筷子一反一正并列摆放。在握筷时,不可取位过高,这样容易被认为清高孤傲,同时也有远离父母家门的嫌疑;也不可取位过低,这样会显得缺乏教养。在举筷夹菜时,不要游移不定,也不要旁若无人地乱找好菜。筷子不要在桌上延伸过长,跨过别人面前夹菜是不礼貌的。用餐完毕后,要将筷子轻轻放在桌上,不可随意放置。尤其需要注意的一点是,切不可将筷子插在饭菜上,古俗认为只有在祭祀先人时才这样做,平时插筷则很不吉利。 ⑨筷子也传播到中国周边的国家,如日本、朝鲜、韩国越南等国,形成东亚地区使用筷子进餐的传统。这些国家使用筷子的习惯延续至今。然而,东亚地区之外的外国人见到筷子的第一感觉多半是新奇并且惊讶的。意大利传教士利玛窦在明朝时来到中国,他在《利玛窦中国札记》中记录了中国人使用筷子吃饭的习俗:他们吃东西不用刀、叉或匙,而是用很光滑的筷子,长约一个半手掌,他们用它很容易把任何种类的食物放入口内,而不必借助于手指。食物在送到桌上时已切成小块,除非是很软的东西,例如煮鸡蛋或鱼等,那些是用筷子很容易夹开的。” ⑩到了全球化的今天,使用筷子吃饭已经不是中国人或东亚人的专利,使用筷子的西方人越来越多,美国每年都会从中国进口数千万双竹筷子,法国甚至还设立了“金筷奖”来表彰中餐及亚洲风味餐厅的出色经营者。如今,有三千年历史之久的筷子传递着东方特有的饮食文化,正在世界各地的餐桌上发挥着它的作用。 (1) 本文从哪几个角度对筷子的名堂进行了说明？（４分） (2) 第③④⑤三段的顺序能否调换？为什么？（３分）

大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四）十六 Trees shoul d only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from d oing it unnecessarily than from l eaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be d one to make sure that trees have a d esired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing

“啊，好极了!这样我还可以剩下十二美分。现在，我倒要庆幸没在别的店里买到这本书了。” 男孩付款时，老板用探询的目光看了看我，于是，我把前面所发生的事一股脑儿全倒了出来。老板在给男孩书的同时，还送给他一支崭新的铅笔，外加一叠雪白的纸。 “你叫什么名字，小伙子?”我问。 “威廉·哈特雷。” “你还需要什么书吗?”我又问。 “当然，越多越好。”他迟疑地说。我给他两美元，说：“这点钱给你吧。” 两行快乐的眼泪从他的眼睛里扑簌簌地流了下来。 “我可以用这钱给我妈妈当本钱。” “当然可以。” 他的眼泪流得更欢了。他说：“你真好，我得好好谢谢你。我希望将来有一天能报答你。”他记下了我的名字。几十年的时间飞快地过去了。我乘船到欧洲去。这是当时最好的一艘船，它曾经在大西洋远航过。在开始的绝大部分航程里，天气好极了，可是后来，天公不作美，我们遇上了一场罕见的风暴，它足以使任何一位有丰富经验的船长都束手无策。所有的桅杆全断了，船就像是一片在煮沸的锅里上下翻腾的菜叶，更糟糕的是，船还漏了，水不断地从船体上的一个大窟窿里涌出来。水泵一刻不停地转动着，可水仍然越积越多。舵几乎失去了作用。(B)水手们全是体格强壮、意志坚强的男子汉，大副、二副也都是经验丰富的一流海员，但是他们全都绝望了，离开了岗位，决定听天由命。刚才一直在研究海图的船长，这时神态自若地走了过来，看看事情究竟糟到了什么地步。过了一会儿，他镇定地命令水手们回到自

2019年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案

2019年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案 2015年12月大学英语四级阅读真题及答案【参考答案】 36、N。 saw 第一空显然缺少谓语，优先考虑动词，结合语义并根据Late November and December能够推出应选择过去式动词，故答案锁定saw。 37、F。 decades 根据two，首选复数名词，结合语义，“ for the first time in the two decades”，二十年来头一次。 38、H。 globally 句子为主系表结构，不缺主要成分，所以首选副词和形容词，根据语义，ever表示“一直以来地、向来地”，“十一月向来是世界范围内最温暖的一个月。” 39、D。 chances 缺少主语，并且谓语是are，所以首选复数形式的名词，结合前文Enjoy the snow now，“享受现在的雪吧”，因为“时机是好的”。 40、J。 occurs 空格前方有主语，且是单数形式，而后面由when引导的时间状语从句的时态是一般现在时，所以主句谓语锁定第三人称单数形式的动词，只能选择occurs。 41、A。 specific空格左为定冠词the，空格右为名词，中间只能选形容词，选择“特定的”符合语义。 42、B。 associated 空格左为be动词，右边为介词with，中间只能是形容词或动词的过去分词形式，be associated with表示“与…有联系”，符合原意。

43、G。 experiences 空格左为主语southern Africa，空格内应该为动词的第三人称单词形式，结合语义，选G，“南非经历着干燥的天气。 44、M。 reduce 空格左为情态动词，空格内必须为动词原形，填reduce“减少”符合原题。 45、K。 populations 空格与左边的large fish 共同构成动词support的宾语，只能选一个名词来作为名词词组，故选K，“大量的鱼群”。【参考答案及解析】 61题，定位到第一段最后一句“varies by culture”，所以答案选A——They are culture-related。 62题，由题干的大写名词Russian定位到第二段和第三段。第二段的“Russian， for example， began to wake up about a half-hour later each day”这个句是干扰句，起得晚不一定睡得早，所以答案推不出“他们比其他地方的人睡得更久”。然后看到第三段“Russia’s other late nights and early mornings generally coincided with public holidays”，所以答案为C——They don’t sleep much on holidays。 63题，题干问的是欧洲人缺乏睡眠的major cause主要原因是什么，由题干的大写名词Europeans’ loss定位到倒数第二段的“compared to Germans， Italians， and the French， who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup”，原文的Germans，Italians， and the French就是题干中“Europeans”的同义改写，而他们stayed up就是为了to watch the Cup，所以说他们缺乏睡眠的原因便是C选项——The World Cup。

（一）既然我们有这样的能力，我们就可以敞开自己的心扉，用我们自己的眼睛和耳朵，没有障碍地去感受这个世界和世界中的人们，于是，“一身化作千万身”，许许多多人的幸福和快乐便都印在我们的心中，许许多多人的不幸和痛苦便都看在我们眼里。为什么会这样?因为人类原本是一个不可分割的整体，我们不是孤独的、孤立的，作为人类成员我们在生命的根部都是联系在一起的。从这个角度来看，在平时的生活中，我们就不应该对别人的弱点和不幸抱讥讽嘲笑的态度，不应该对别人暂时的失败或某些缺陷持幸灾乐祸的立场，因为你自己也同样会有弱点、不幸、失败或缺陷。你没有任何理由对别人居高临下、歧视或鄙视，没有任何理由伤害或继续伤害一个人。同学们，让我们逐渐养成公平、公正的观念，等你们长大了，从中还要发展出更重要的观念──正义的观念。一个人要有正义感，一个社会要有社会公正。你们要做自己的船长，把握自己生命的航程，希望你们将来成为一个有同情心、有正义感的人，这样，中国的未来才有希望。 1．解释加粗的词语。 ①歧视：_________________ ______________________________________________ ②鄙视：_________________ ______________________________________________ 2．从第一段里哪几句话能够看出：“作为人类成员我们在生命的根部都是联系在一起的”? 答： 3．你怎么理解公平、公正和正义?结合文中的内容回答。答：（二）生气不如争气 ①有一个年轻人，经常因得不到领导的赏识而生气抱怨。一天，他去拜访恩师，并向其道出了自己的烦恼。恩师听后，就领着这个年轻人到了海边，他弯腰捡起一块鹅卵石，将它扔到了一堆鹅卵石里，并问道：“你能把我刚才扔出去的鹅卵石找回来吗？”“我不能。”年轻人回答。“那如果我扔下的是一颗珍珠呢？”恩师再问，并别有深意地望着年轻人。年轻人恍然大悟：生气不如争气。生气抱怨只是徒劳，凭借实力脱颖而出，才是明智的做法。 ②是的，生活并不总是以你理想的方式表现出来，它从来都是变幻莫测的。如果你只是一块平常无奇的鹅卵石，自身还没有被注意的闪光点，就不必去生气，不必去抱怨。此时，就需要学会争气，只有不断提升自身实力，最终才能成为一颗耀眼的珍珠。 ③争气，会让你走出困境，会助你成功。人格遇到冷落、嘲弄甚至侮辱，生气是无济于事的，唯有争气，才会得到别人的认可与尊重。在这方面，被誉为香港“水饺皇后”的臧健和女士为我们做出
