( A )When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a goo d student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? J anet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back t o Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” hesaid.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll fin d it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.1.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC. My FatherD.

Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcom ings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.4. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her“enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.( B )When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship（奖学金）and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted（吸毒）parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling herteachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “a s simple as making a decision”.5．In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.A. b, a, e, c, dB. a, b, c, e, dC. e, d, b, a, cD. b, e, a, d, c6. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB. what a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC. why Liz loved her parents so muchD. how Liz struggled to change her life7. What actually made her go towards her goal?A. Envy and encouragement.B. Willpower and determination.C. Decisions and understanding.D. Love and respect for her parents.8.When she wrote “What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.A. she had little experience of social lifeB. she could hardly understand the societyC. she would do something for her own lifeD. she needed to travel more around the world( C )Over many years, there has been an increase in the population of towns in many countries, as millions of people have moved from the villages in search of better jobs and facilities (设施),in the hope of getting a higher standard of living. This development has led to huge expansions of towns both upwards into the sky andoutwards into the surrounding countryside. In spite of all the efforts of governments and private businesses, many areas still suffer from a serious shortage of housing.Now, a new idea has been put forward which will utilize (利用vt.) areas which have no other obvious commercial potential (商业潜能). These are the ponds, small lakes, disused docks, and other areas of water, many of which can be found near, or even in the suburbs (郊区) of big towns.A new style of construction has been designed which will provide a house for less than half the cost of the normal building. The main saving is, of course, the land, because the new houses will float on water. There will be no need for foundations; instead the house will be built on a frame (框架)made of steel which is expected to cost about ￡5,000. Above this the builders will make a house with two, three, or four bedrooms and all the usual modern conveniences, as well as a roof garden. Each house will be joined to the main services supplying water, gas, and electricity and they will have a vacuum sewage disposal (真空污水处理)system. All the service links will have enough flexibility (灵活性) to allow for small differences in the water level caused by wet and dry periods of weather.The first houses to be built are expected to cost between ￡20,000 and ￡30,000 according to size and it is already clear that there is a very good potential market for the new system. As the cost is comparatively low, young people and common citizens would like to buy.9. So many people have moved into towns because ______.A. they enjoy the facilitiesB. they expect to live a better lifeC. they expect to get better jobsD. there is a shortage of jobs in villages10. What is the main advantage of the new idea?A. It will help relieve（缓解）the housing shortage.B. It will utilize disused areas of water.C. It will provide jobs.D. It will help the suburbs.11. The new houses will be built on _________.A. waterside areasB. a stone foundationC. lakes and riversD. a steel frame12. The price of the new houses will ________.A. encourage private and government buildersB. attract ordinary people in the towns to buyC. vary in different areas according to the policyD. help the housing market in the countryside( D )“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students --- “so passive” --- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say ‘no’ to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it tak es work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them ‘no’ again.13.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them14.We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on____.A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school15. By “permissive period in education” , the author means a time ______.a) when children are allowed to do what they wish tob) when everything can be taught at schoolc) when every child can be educatedd) when children are permitted to receive education16. The main idea of the passage is that _______.a) parents should leave their children aloneb) kids should have more activities at schoolc) it’s time to be more strict with our kidsd) parents should always set a good example to their kids( E )This is time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents.

When German soldiers occupied his hometown ,the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom . “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself.After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York . Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way .If they could do it, why couldn’t he? “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself.Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth （店铺）on Canal Street, New York City .He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language.To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life.Stand straight and stand tall.In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together .He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.I am so proud to be one of those children. Listening to my grandfather’s remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life.1．Which is the correct order of the things that happened in the passage?a. My grandfather took both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings.b. World War II broke out in Europe.c. My grandfather went to America.d. My grandfather began to run his diamond business.e.

The lizard（蜥蝎）likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it, it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off ,and the lizard will fall safely into the water. Chameleons （变色龙）can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping.Corillas（大猩猩）like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches ,twigs ,and leaves into a comfortable bed .Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks ,they don’t use a nest .They just lock their feet around abranch and hang on. A special tendon（腱）in their legs is automatically tight when they are at rest ,so they won’t let go and fall.Dolphins(海豚) live underwater ,but must come to the surface tobreathe .Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals (海豹) also do this，lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.5．How many animals are mentioned in this passage?A．6. B．7. C．8.

I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for threemonths ,and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh, they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his e ighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet (衣橱) because there were only supposed to be two kids in the flat ,and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.9．Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day, because .A．she had to cook breakfast for her childrenB．she had to catch the first bus to the factoryC．she had to work in the white man’s houseD．she had to go to see a special baby doctor10．Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because .A．she though we didn’t need to B．we didn’t like washing handsC．we had done everything very well D．there was no soap or water in our home11．Why did the writer hide in a closet when the landowner came for rent?A．The closet could only hold two kids.B．Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.C．They should pay more rent for two kids.D．There was only one bedroom for the two kids.12．What does the writer mainly tell us?A．Black people lead a miserable life.B．Black people don’t have enough rent money.C．White people lead an expensive life.D．White people have special baby doctors. (答案：CDBA)( D )I recently spent two years in the Arctic (北冰洋) filming the series (系列节目) Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that hasn't changed for 20,000 years. Of course it's freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds.When I'm filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves (包括) cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary.Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement. I'd always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on（专门从事）Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.I prefer to be faced with the animals I'm filming. I haven't got in the water with killer whales (鲸鱼) yet, but I plan to. Of course, it's dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. They're big animals and can move fast, so I'd be stupid to film them searching for food!I've never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold( 勇敢), clever and dangerous. But I made this one see I wasn't about to attack it ---- I'm sure it realized I wouldn't hurt it.When I come home back from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I'm fifty, filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver (交付) high-quality work (作品).13. In this text, the writer is describing __________.A. the challenges of the environment he works inB. the beautiful scenery of the ArcticC. the career opportunities in TV camera work.D. the difficulties of having to work alone14. What does the writer say about his early career?A. He was bored by working only in Antarctic.B. It taught him how to become a skilled diver.C. He wasted the years he spent as a scientist.D. It provided him with a chance to learn about filming.15. When talking about killer whales, the writer says that __________.A. he has always been careful when diving with themB. he tries to avoid any danger by facing themC. he will only film them from a safe distanceD. he believes there are safe opportunities to film them16. How does the writer describe his experience with a polar bear?A. The writer realized he was wrong to trust polar bears.B. The writer felt nervous that the bear might come back.C. The bear seemed to know the writer wasn’t a danger.D. The animal was much more afraid than the writer was. (答案：ADDC)( E )People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using e-mail. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Jo hnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with (安装) cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that e-mailing encourages people to focus on (专注于) themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So e-mailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happenedand people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that e-mailers need to know about these effects of e-mailing, especially when they start work in a company. “If you don’t kno w about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”17. The subject discussed in this passage is _______.A. how people open up when emailingB. how people do research studiesC. how to communicate at workD. how to discuss and solvea problem18. The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.A. they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB. they couldn’t see each otherC. the cameras on the computers were turned onD. they had to discuss a question19. What does the underlined sentence refer to?A. The telegraph.B. The computer.C. E-mailing.D. Face-to-face talk.20. In the writer’s o pinion, one should ______.A. focus on oneself when e-mailingB. talk more freely in e-mails than usualC. discuss any subject that one wants toD. consider how one uses e-mail at work (答案：ABCD)备战高考：阅读训练专题(3)( A )Pet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work, a move ( 时尚) scientists say can be good for productivity (效率), workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals.A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice（做法）of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有好处).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. They are their favorites,” she said. “They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun.”Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balrnain. Owner Lain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “ BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap (轻敲) on the glass,” he said.Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries (服务行业) because they enabled a point of conversation. But she said owners had to make sure both their co-workers and the cats were comfortable.。

My daughter has been in karate (空手道) since the first grade，and has been in high honor and gifted classes her whole life.She is always a joy，and at 15，though people tell me we should be fighting and she should be hanging out at malls and chasing boys，she is none of that.My 11－year－old son，Tom，for years would fight with me over everything.If I said the sky was blue，he would say it was black.For years he was failing several subjects.We took games away and then TV; we tried a reward program，but nothing worked long.He would bring a grade up to get his stuff (物品) back，and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class，and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around.At first he didn't like it because he had to ask permission to do anything，and he had to say “yes，sir” and “no，sir” for everything.He even had to respect his sister，because she was of a high rank.So he wanted to stop.However，my husband told our son，“If I can do this at 40 something years old，so can you.”And then I would take my whole family three or four times a week to learn martial arts.My son learned so much about a better way of living：respecting others，following the rules，and above all respecting himself.I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students，and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem.If you do your research or just ask another person，or even a kid for help，you will find it.And when it comes to our kids，the right answer is always worth finding.【解题导语】作者通过自己的经历告诉父母们，在教育孩子的过程中遇到困难不要放弃，只要努力总会找到解决问题的办法。

What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer. And, check with a parent or adult before visiting any new website.Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth. Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Or, visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time. With the moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong’s famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon’s surface with Armstrong’s fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin.1. According to Russell, the kids _________.A. spend too much time on the InternetB. should never chat and play games onlineC. can solve their problems through the InternetD. should study hard instead of chatting online2. From the passage we know that _________.A. we can find much information we need onlineB.

一轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Demand for the Chinese tech company's devices(设备) is red hot even though the country's overall market for smartphones is getting smaller Huawei's China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018, and experts say that's partly due to the US government's global campaign against the company.“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义) in Chinese consumers, said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firm's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.Huawei's booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究) criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the world's biggest smartphone maker by next year.Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL), according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apple's sales plunged almost 20%.Huawei's success in China, the world's largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high -end- phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market. It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE (ZTCOF), a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.（1）Why did Huawei's China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because the company's devices are always popular worldwide.B. Because Chinese consumers' patriotism was aroused.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the country's overall market for smartphones is getting bigger.（2）What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Huawei's chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US's request.B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huawei's chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huawei's chief financial officer is unfair.（3）How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by.B. reduced greatly to.C. dropped greatly by.D. remained steady.（4）Why is Huawei's success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smartphone market in the world.B. Because Huawei's success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了华为公司在手机市场日益缩小的中国仍然火爆的原因。

高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（1）APollution’s great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency（效率）,less reliance on fossil（化石) fuels, and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development accoun t for 39% of the country’s total energy use, 12% of total water consumption,68% of total electricity consumption and 38% of carbon dioxide emissions（二氧化碳排放）, according to the Environment Protection Agency.Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to live, work, and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle—construction, restoration, operation, maintenance（维护）and demolition（拆毁）—than those who construct more regular buildings.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems （生态系统）and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams, and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live in such buildings.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials over long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows itto take advantage of cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partly or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower（水能）and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.1.What is the text mainly about?A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.B. The process of building green buildings.C. The benefits and features of green buildings.D. Green buildings effects on the environment.2.According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that______.A. produce no wasteB. only use clean energyC. are made of recycled materialsD. use energy and resources more efficiently3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.4.Why are green roofs used ?A. They fit the surrounding environment wellB. They are cheaper than other kinds of roofsC. They can keep natural water for use in everyday lifeD. They can help to control the temperature in the building well【文章大意】在本文中作者主要分析了green building的诸多好处和对环境的巨大的保护作用，呼吁人们多建设这样的绿色的建筑。

江西婺源县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮精炼阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds too; so it's a winwin situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a threeyear waiting list.George C．Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.本文讲述了由于生活费用增高，加上经济下降，越来越多的人开始自己种菜，并且现在人们开车少了，旅游少了，有更多的时间来种菜，减少生活费用。

一轮复习高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown. As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.A study of almost 300, 000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.Sight expert Professor Daniel O'Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said "At the moment we don't know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted."（1）Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.A. because the summer sun is too strong for babiesB. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballsC. if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born D if parents don't know a proper way to protect their babies' eyes（2）Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sightedB. protect the skin from harmful sun raysC. make our body strongD. protect babies' eyes from summer sun（3）From what Professor Daniel O'Leary says we can conclude that ___________.A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlightB. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further provedC. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightednessD. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight（4）The underlined word "vulnerable" in the passage probably means __________.A. easy to be harmedB. resistantC. protectiveD. changeable【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明在夏季出生的婴儿长大后更容易成为近视眼，眼科专家称多达四分之一的近视眼病例是由于在出生后前几周里暴露阳光太久造成。

In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes. Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone a nd speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Ani ta Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helpe d more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great.

A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free.

Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made. Your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed(压垮) by the details of running a well-balanced life.

What do you need to complete to graduate?4.Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our b edroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table.
