However, when he left home for college, he was able for the first time to start taking his life and weight into his own hands.He started by shopping at a local farmers’ market, an experience that inspired him profoundly. The idea that a farmer’s mark et represents local, sustainable, healthy food with a human connection where you can interact with the people that grow your produce was extremely appealing to him, and he began to think about the food that people at his university were eating. From what h e saw at farmers’ markets, Hai realized that dining hall food was not “rear” food A lot of it is frozen or processed, and has unhealthy additives. His ideas continued to develop as he started taking classes about food sustainability at university, and after the summer of 2014 during which he cooperated with other students9 he launched into his senior year at the University of California full force with the Real Food Challenge (RFC) campaign, a project he co-founded that aims to reinvest university spending in food that is “real”: ecologically-sound, community-based, humane, and fair; as opposed to those traditional purchases with those unhealthy additives and processed products.Not only has Hai started a movement of change across the university dining system, but he has also grown extremely as an individual，now with strong leadership abilities and great vision. In addition, after he started learning about food sustainability and taking action at university, Hai has lost over 100 pounds, and has been able to start enjoying activities such as backpacking and swimming that were not a possibility for him previously. He is confident instead of distraught now.5. When did Hai get the idea of “rear” food?A. When purchasing the locally-made foodB. When reforming the university dining system.C. When reinvesting university spending in food.D. When organizing the Real Food Challenge campaign.6. What benefit has the campaign brought to Hai’s occupational development?A. He has been hired by the university.B. He has become an expert in food fieldC. He has got excellent leading ability.D. He has become much thinner than before.7. According to Hai, “real” food is .A. rich in nutritionB. made by expertsC. frozen or processedD. healthy without additivesCScientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals (晶体) that could be 50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of t he caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs (病菌) or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts befor e last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologistwith the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we surprised?”Noonan asked. “ As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.8. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on ________.A. surrounding insectsB. eating mineralsC. diverse plantsD. absorbing air9. What can we infer about the eaves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The caves have been explored since they were formed.10. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Indifferent.11. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.DIt’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may n ot believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going aro und the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build - up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere - not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths-one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.12. The text is developed by ________.A. giving typical examplesB. following the order of spaceC. comparing and finding differenceD. analyzing a theory and arguing it13. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?A. volcanic eruptionB. floods arid droughtsC. changes in solarD. cycles concerning the Earth’s going a round the sun14. The underline word ‘‘identical” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. exactly the sameB. totally differentC. extremely importantD. partly independent15. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?B. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?C. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?D. What’s the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

内蒙古正镶白旗察汗淖中学高中英语阅读理解经典试题(含答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Standing desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible(可变换的) standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first "convertible" on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position. The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden."Ikea's height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, " said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.（1）What is the text mainly about?A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.（3）The Stir Kinect desk______.A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button onceB. can charge phones by using a device containing power pointC. can tell you how many calories you need for a walkD. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time（4）What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?A. Ikea's adjustable desk will be popular with average people.B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，站立式办公桌在美国硅谷已经比较常见，宜家近日推出了一款名为BEKANT的可调节的站立式办公桌，这种桌子对愿意站立式工作的人健康有益。

Au Pair in Stamford, Conn,for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year old son.“I would at least l ike to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her childrento miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the childrento keep exposed to(接触) the languag e and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom, ”says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.”But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbersof American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. Itis expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29.What does the term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB.
