一轮复习高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(附答案)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。

A widow’s wis h to h ear her late husband’s voice again has pushed London’s Subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway’s famous “ Mind the gap” announcement.The underground, or the tube, first opened in 1863, tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow, Margaret McCollum, told them what it meant to her.McCollum, 65, said she used to frequently visit Embankment tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence’s voice, even before his death. She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrenc e was a drama school graduate when he auditioned (试音) for a tour company. For six years after his death, I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,” she added. When Margaret approached the tube, she was told it had a new broadcast system and it co uldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness, direct or of London Underground, said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep. “Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added. “It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. The tube’s ‘Mind the gap’ messages, voiced by various actors, have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s. Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very plea sed th at people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,” Margaret said. “He was a great London transport user all his life .He would be amused, touched, and delighted to kn ow he’s back where he belonged.”1. The best title for the passage is________.A. A Replaced RecordingB. Mind the GapC. A Widow’s WishD. The Tube’s Struggle2. The underlined phrase “ taken aback” means_________.A. disappointedB. annoyedC. excitedD. shocked3. What can we infer from the passage?A. The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.B. Oswald’s voice is great comfort to Margaret.C. No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D. Oswald was an outstanding actor in London. 参考答案1—3、CDB黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attentionto it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’sfast-paced modern society.But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying. Obeying o ur body clock has significant healthbenefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems suchas depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor.When the body clock can synchronize (使…同步) the rhythms of its natural processes, it “givesus an advantage in daily life”, says Key.According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in thelate morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning andcontinues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve.However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter.Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4 pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm,making that a good time for a nap.Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems thatrequire open-ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, accordingto a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.When choosing a time of the day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improveresults. Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, aprofessor of biomedical engineering.Of course, not everyone’s body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize naturalrhythms with daily plans.【小题1】If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ______.A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasksB．organize our time around work demandsC．do whatever our body feels like doingD．be sure to be healthy【小题2】 Which of the following is NOT true?A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm.B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modern society.C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health.D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity.【小题3】Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us______.A．when we get up in the morningB．when we are tired in the eveningC．when we are full of energy in the late morningD．when we are asleep at night【小题4】Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?A．What is natural body rhythm?B．Natural body rhythm is good for us.C．natural body rhythm and healthD．The latest research about natural body rhythm.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Dreams are necessary in our life. We know that about 25% of our _ 21__ time is spent dreaming. This is true for everyone, whether you are the kind of person who ordinarily remembers your dreams or not. Often our dreams show us “the other side of the picture”, 22 us aware of the things we have failed to take conscious 23 of during the day. For instance, if you dream that your new boss, who seems gruff (语言粗暴的) and unfriendly during the working hours, is smiling at you and 24 you for your work, perhaps you have subliminally (下意识地) 25 up signals that day that his bark is worse than his bite.All of us need dreams, and the 26 we are, the more necessary they appear to be. Babies spend 27 half their sleep in the dreaming phase. When adult subjects in an experiment were given drugs that eliminated（排除）their 28 for several nights, they became increasingly irritable（易怒的）and 29 , and often began having difficulty concentrating. Too much dreaming appears to have its drawbacks too. If you doze late on Sunday mornings, you often wake up feeling tired. The 30 is that the more you sleep, the longer your dreams become.21.

一轮复习高考英语专题复习 阅读理解(附答案)
一轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

经过教学实践体会，练习效果令人满意。
( 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. My Childhood2. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them outto me.B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. 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.

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. D．9. 6．How does a chameleon protect itself while sleeping?A．By changing its body colors. B．By hinging out over a pond.C．By sleeping with half their brain. D．By making beds with branches. 7．Why will not birds fall when they are at rest?A．They build nests and sleep in them. B．They fall asleep automatically.C．They have a loose tendon in their legs D．They lock their feet around a branch.8．What does the writer intend to tell us?A．The cleverest animal is the gorilla because it can make beds.B．Differences in habitat could lead to different living habits.C．The ways animals catch their ZZZ’s are pretty much the same .D．In order to protect themselves most animals choose not to sleep. （答案：CADB)( C )But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro(blacks )mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacksover their shoes because it was so wet and cold. 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.。

Ⅰ.阅读理解A Writing Kind of Day：Poems for Young Poets by Ralph Fletcher is an unusual book.On one hand，it is an interesting，sometimes heartbreaking and often enjoyable，collection of poems written in the voice of a boy in middle school who enjoys writing poetry.One the other hand，it is a book of poetry for teens about the creative process of writing poetry.The book contains 27 poems，one per page.The poetry itself focuses on family，middle school，worries，and writing.The book covers a number of different topics—from the serious，like his grandmother's increasing loss of memory，to the very funny.While the book can be enjoyed just as an interesting book of poetry，it also provides a lot of information and inspiration that will be helpful to young poets.Fletcher's poems about writing show the boy's great interest in writing，his love of words，and his constant search for ideas.In the poem，“Poetry Recipe”，the boy writes about trying to write a poem using the recipe，suggested by his friend and finding that it doesn't work for him；he needs his own ingredients.A Writing Kind of Day is suitable for young teens who enjoy reading poetry or who want to write poetry.It mentions a lot of things，such as homework，aging relatives，tests，which middle schoolers deal with.And it would be an excellent book to use in a middle school language arts classroom to show how easily poetry can be reached.Finally，middle school boys who are reluctant (勉强的)readers might enjoy reading it because the book is far shorter than a traditional novel.1．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．all that is described in the poems is something funnyB．teenagers can write poems after they read the bookC．Ralph Fletcher wrote the book mainly for school useD．none of the poems is so long as to cover several pages【解析】细节理解题。

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly（大胆地） on their own, most of them are clutching at (紧握) one another's hands for reassurance.They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Theyset off in new directions in musil. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon — into a lager cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teen ager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 56．Through this passage the writer wants to advise .A．teenager how to be popular with people aroundB．teenagers how to decide things for themselvesC．parents how to control and guide their childrenD．people how to understand and respect each other57．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Every kind of popularity doesn’t count.B．What many parents are doing is in fact preventing their children from getting high marks.C．It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D．Many teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.58．The author thinks of advertisements as __________________.A．debatable B．instructive C．unavoidable D．authoritative59．During the teenage years, one should learn to ________________.A．differ from others in as many ways as possibleB．become as popular as possibleC．find one's real self and not to follow others’ fashion blindlyD．rebel against parents and the popularity waves【参考答案】56—59、BBDC【2014联合模拟】Although man has known asbestos for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine.Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein(岩脉), in the province of Quebec in Canada.Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated, a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers.Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads, but they have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”.52. Which title best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Asbestos mined in CanadaB. Fireproof matterC. A “wonder” mineralD. A new roofing material53. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by_______.A. going into roofing businessB. carrying asbestos from ItalyC. sending a trained scientistD. showing the use of asbestos gloves54. Which is the most important character of asbestos that the author wants to show us?A. It is like thread.B. It feels soapy.C. It burns easily.D. It is unusually heavy.55. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage was to _______.A. show the need for more scientistsB. compare asbestos with other mineralsC. increase the sales of asbestosD. present facts about asbestos【参考答案】52—55、CDAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
